Breakfast with the family.   Great food, super friendly staff.   Love eating here.
Tammie B.

Excellent family friendly staff. They treat everyone like family and remember your name. Great little cafe for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We have been several times & have never been disappointed. Every Thursday is either Burger night or smoked brisket. On Friday nights during Spring & Summer they have Smoked Chicken and BBQ Rib. My husband swears there Ribs is 1 of his top favorites. On Friday nights in the Fall and Winter they have all you can eat fish. Come check them out, you won't be disappointed.

French Toast

Super greasy food. No vegetarian sandwiches or burgers except for the grilled cheese, so I ordered breakfast. It was a meal on the menu where you got 4 slices of french toast, eggs, and meat - but she let me substitute hash browns for the meat. The eggs were good and the french toast was okay, but the hash browns were undercooked and so greasy. Service was great, I liked our waitress. Another review mentioned that they had religious decor up, which I didn't notice but if I saw religious quotes in a restaurant, that's unprofessional and I would not go there again.

Its good home-style food. Went in for breakfast. There was only one waitress and she worked HARD. The place was full! Clearly the locals love the place. I love that the American fries are pan fried and not deep fried. They're done right. The childs breakfast a childs pancake - that was the size of the plate- and TWO links, so... you know... maybe for two kids - or three. A little overwhelming with the religious decor, but hey if thats your thing.

Locals love this restaurant, but I'm not a local.

Since our default breakfast restaurant has been bought out and transformed into something perfectly dreadful, we have been scouring the landscape for someplace new. The Dig In Cafe is one of a four restaurants within a quarter mile of each other (five if one includes the Lickity Split, an ice cream shop open seasonally) in Augusta. (Not to denigrate Augusta, but I have always thought that the area was too economically depressed - with the closing of Hillside Orchards, the closing of Brook Lodge, the closing and then reopening of the Barn Theatre, and the sale of the Yarrow Resort to the public sector - to support that many downtown restaurants. And I don't know anything about the Blue Stem - which might make it six restaurants overall - perched so high overlooking the rustic farmlands near East Augusta Drive.) It is the only one of the four that is open for breakfast, and I suppose that this gives it an advantage since there is really no alternative nearby. We could only think of Arlene's Truck Stop to the east near the highway as the next closest. It is definitely the place for locals to hang out from 7 am onward. I can't ever recall seeing or reading any advertising in Kalamazoo about this restaurant. The restaurant is bright and clean, the service is attentive, and the decor is a mix of photos, a few coming from the actors from the nearby Barn Theatre. Unfortunately, the food is forgettable. Following my theory that any place that serves breakfast should be able to do it better than I can, this is a restaurant that doesn't. Never having worked in food service, I could still prepare a better breakfast than I received. Asking for soft poached eggs, we received hard. The breakfast potatoes, made of boiled quartered red potatoes, were not then cooked sufficiently long on the flat top to develop crunchy exteriors. The corned beef hash - and I know what good corned beef hash is and how to make it - came from Gordon Food Service. Those little teeny cubed potatoes, each no bigger than a BB, were the giveaway. The coffee was brown and hot but only aspired to taste like coffee. Nothing was seasoned. We assumed it was a mixture of inadequate ingredients and inadequate cooking. So this is not a destination restaurant. This is a restaurant whose customer base is locals with a few National Guard from the nearby base thrown in. I can't see going back since it doesn't offer me anything unique or special in the category of breakfast. But considering the volume of locals, I don't think the restaurant will miss our business in the least.

Dig in burger basket.
Matt S.

This place is a nice little diner. I had the dig in burger which is a cheeseburger with 2 half pound parties. You better be hungry if you get this one. The staff is friendly and good was quick. Patrons were also pleasant. The only reason I gave a 4 was the burger was a bit overdone for my liking. The battered fries are also very good.

Dig in breakfast will spoil you in that it always comes out great.  There is nothing bad on this menu!

Ordering is super easy with COVID and pickup through the drive thru is a great addition, especially if you have little ones.
