Always a favorite with the breakfast crowd . Great food and plenty of it. The Diner itself is smaller in size, so don't be surprised if you see a line has formed outside. Limited hours so call ahead just to double check. read more

Owner is very friendly and remembers everyone's names. Raisin bread was delicious. Can't miss breakfast read more

Food was excellent and the service was equally great! We will make Diner 31 a must every time we visit Manistee.

Excellent food, friendly service. The biscuits and gravy were generous and yummy. Even the basic bacon and eggs were delicious.

Great place to eat small but service was great food was wonderful. Price was okay not outrageous. Very friendly and very clean.

I have visited many times and have always had a 5 star breakfast. The entire staff goes out of their way to make your visit enjoyable

After nearly two years in the area, we stopped for breakfast this morning. Overall, a very good experience. Diner 31 is a typical greasy spoon/breakfast joint. I had the Big Breakfast and my wife had the cinnamon roll pancakes (special). My eggs and hash browns were cooked perfectly. Service was fast and friendly, even with a full restaurant. read more

Great little diner with an excellent breakfast. I highly recommend any of the eggs Benedict breakfasts. The Dirty was excellent.

Great food and great service. Small place but definitely worth the wait if the ere isn't an open table.

Excellent breakfast and service. While the place was super busy our waitress brought juice and took our order. Food was delivered hot and lots of it. Very defiantly all homemade with thick slices of ham and home fries. read more

Diner 31 always does a great job. My favorite sever is Elizabeth. She is always friendly, has a smile and works hard. The coffee is delicious! Thank you for being a part of our community, Diner 31!! read more

Waited an hour for breakfast to come out cold, didn't even eat that, then I had to pay 12$ for a cup of coffee, didn't know manistee had a Starbucks now lol read more

I am so happy to have stumbled upon this place!! We stay near Onekama, and we've been on the hunt for a satisfying breakfast joint and I think we've found it!! The menu is big and has so many fun options, but what REALLY brought me here to yelp was the customer service. I haven't been waited on so kindly in a long time!!! The ladies who work here are just lovely and so is the food and atmosphere! Check it out!! Very COVID conscious too! read more

Enjoyed a delicious San Diego Eggs Benedict while my son tried to get through the big breakfast. It's hard for an 18yo athlete to tap out but he did. So much food but he is leaving here filled up and happy. Thanks to the crew for another great Diner 31 breakfast. See you soon!! read more

This place is an excellent place to go to eat! Jen (the owner) is always here, and serving her customers with the best food, and the close family feeling for all. The atmosphere is great, and we love coming here. read more

We were happy when we got there it was a cute little spot. It was so busy that we acted as hosts seating people. Food was bland and there was a lot of hidden charges that made breakfast fairly expensive. Sadly, We won't go back read more

I ate here before the world went on lockdown for covid.... This is a great place for breakfast. It's also a place in town where locals go who know where to get a good breakfast. Service is great and fast. The only reason I'm deducting a star is because the country Benedict dish I got was definitely overpriced at $11. That should've been $8 to be what I consider fair for what was received. My husband loved his food, which I can't specifically remember what he ordered, I'll just learn from my experience and not order from the Benedict section of the menu when I next visit. All the other items seemed reasonable. read more

Jennie and her team are awesome. We walk in and she brings our drinks over without having to ask. The food, service, and atmosphere are awesome. Everyone is always super friendly here. read more

Excellent breakfast and the service was great! Feels like a throwback. Fun atmosphere

Great atmosphere, feels like home. Staff are wonderful, they are very friendly and welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is great the food and drinks choices are great.

And anything with the sausage gravy is amazing delicious. read more
