Perfect breakfast spot. It was a great little diner style place that was open early for those of us looking to get our day started at Pictured Rocks. My wife and I each had the Legenday #1 breakfast, and they did not disappoint. The food came out quick and hot, and our server was very good at checking on us and refilling my coffee. We enjoyed it so much, we went back the next day for another round. If you're looking for good, filling food at a very reasonable price, this is the place to go. read more

I'll start on my complaints first and how to fix them in order to improve. First, clean your ice machine. My water with ice (and same with the other glasses including ice) all contained black stuff. Simply clean your ice machine. (I forgot exactly what the black stuff is but I know you don't want it. It's a sign your ice machine is dirty.) The space is small and attracts a lot of customers. So it's loud and you can't always hear others. (Not the business's fault. Just something to keep in mind for customers incase you don't like loud noises.) The service is good! They clean and take your orders quickly. No complaints there. The scenery is also great! No complaints there either! The seats are all hard. None of them are cushioned. (Incase you don't like hard seats.) WiFi is provided! Now for the food, The displays are amazing! The food comes out and looks very nice. Well done! I ordered the Blueberry Pancakes and it came out with a smiley face. (Whipped cream was included) The pancakes tasted delicious!! They were crispy on the outside while soft and fluffy on the inside! They weren't extremely sweet, which is great!! I love being able to eat pancakes and not having to stop eating them because it's too much sugar. For pricing, it is a little bit expensive. For example, a cup of coffee is $4.50. HOWEVER! As someone who used to work in a small business that was a coffee shop, this is very understandable. Coffee beans have gotten expensive recently. And plus, you need to make money in order to continue your business. So I have no complaints about that. Overall, this is a great place! I would fully reccomend going if you stop by! read more

One of the only spots in town for a full sit‑down breakfast, which is definitely a plus. The breakfast burrito was just okay, and the rest of the food was fine but nothing standout. There was a wait when we arrived, and seating a group of six wasn't the easiest here. Overall, it was just okay. Forgot to mention, the cinnamon bun was great! Highlight of the meal. read more

It was super busy. Missy was a great waitress. Food was amazing. Wait was not bad we sat at bar to get service faster. Portions were large. I didn't finish the burrito it's huge. The coffee is amazing. The legendary you have to get sourdough bread per my husband it was great. read more

Great food! Was well worth the wait. The blueberry pancakes tasted more like cake with butter and blueberries, it was phenomenal. The Bridal Veil veggie omelette was also very good. I changed out the broccoli for some jalapeños. read more

I'm so back baby. This was Very cute and homey. I think it's a traditional safe breakfast spot . I would definitely return here again for something more savory to try. It's not terribly expensive and you can get individual things such as eggs or toast on the side so its customizable. service was nice even though it was busy and food did not take terribly long. It can feel a little crammed and you probably want to get there earlier than later in the morning. After we left there was a line out the door! read more

Great place for breakfast. Options in town are limited but they offer a good basic breakfast. The cornbeef hash was house made and the pancakes wet amount the best I've ever had! read more

Great breakfast! Food was great and you get lots of it - I only ate about 2/3's - ordered a vegetarian skillet with scrambled eggs - wife had French Toast and reported it was good. Prices while on the high side are about what you'd expect in Munising, where everything seems to be expensive. read more

Best pancakes I have ever had. Great service and I will dream of the pancakes for forever

We stopped in after our Pictured Rocks Cruise. We arrived around 12:30 and our party of 5 was seated right away. The service was very prompt. The food came out quickly and tasted really fresh. We ordered two different skillets (Yooper on a Hot Tin Roof and North Light), the caramel apple waffle, chocolate chip pancakes, cinnamon roll, and sides of bacon and sausage. The food was excellent overall. My husband said the caramel apple waffle was the best waffle he's ever had! The sausage was just ok, but the back had great flavor. Both skillets were really flavorful and filling with lots of veggies and meat mixed in with the hash browns. The chocolate chip pancakes were super fluffy with a crispy edge. The coffee was also excellent and refilled often by our server. The prices were a little high, but reasonable for the quality of the food. Nice stop in Munising! read more

Best pancakes we have ever had! Was very busy, but seated very quickly great service going back tomorrow!

Omelette we had was very disappointing, it was over cooked and was not "stuffed". It was just about 5 tiny pieces of ham and a bit of cheese mixed in with scrambled egg and cooked flat. For the price we expected a lot more. The apple waffle, however was very good. Southern style cooked apples had great flavor and it was a generous portion of fruit. Coffee was $4.50 a cup...again a bit over the top for a regular cup of coffee. read more

Wife and I in town for a little getaway. Found this delightful place while driving around Munising. While the prices reflect the current state of the world, the atmosphere and food were top notch. We were taken care of by Layla and she did an outstanding as our server. The food was fresh and the sour dough to die for. read more

A nice place for breakfast. The inside was a little small, but it looked like they had outside seating in a tent. Waitress was great, kept the coffee refills coming the entire time. read more

We had the senior Earls wet chorizo breakfast burrito and the caramel apple waffle and holy cow!!!!! Such good food! We both fell into a food coma after woofing both dishes down. It's a small place and only stay open until 2pm, but I highly recommend it! The service was quick and cheerful. The interior is white pine lined walls and look fairly new. read more

By the time we came to eat at 9 the restaurant was packed. Our server did a great job checking in on us. The food was great and I loved the 3 different hot sauce options on the table! read more

The food and service were good after waiting on an available table for 15 minutes. However, the portions were small compared to the price and the coffee definitely did not rate $4.50/cup. I'm sure the crowds of newcomers will continue but we'll choose another more reasonable location for our next breakfast when in this area. read more

Food was typical diner food, so it was good, but not worth the ~$17 each dish cost. $5.50 for orange juice from a bottle . . . the cafe and bookstore down the corner has fresh squeezed for $5, so something is wrong here. read more

Wow! We stayed at a near by Airbnb for a weekend stay. Went to breakfast here both mornings. My boyfriend got the Chapel Loop Cheesesteak omelette both days and I got the Breakfast #2 and the same omelette. The pancakes are so fluffy and amazing. The cinnamon rolls are also great. Plenty of food and kept us full for our hikes. We sat at a booth and at the bar and both servers we had were quick and attentive. It is a smaller place but they have covered outside seating that looked great. I would highly recommend stopping here if you are in town! read more

Excellent choice for breakfast! Great food and service, awesome staff and cool place to get feed.

The food here was fairly good the first time we went. Breakfast food is hard to mess up if you have even a little kitchen skills. The prices however are through the roof. $48 for breakfast for two people with tip is ludicrous. More Munising price gouging. The second time we went. Both sets of pancakes we had were really burnt. Should not have served them to us. Mine more so. We were rushing to do stuff for the day and it took forever to get the food in the first place after waiting 30 minutes to be seated. I just ate them. The one guy seating people smelled horribly of body odor. Nice guy...but it was offensive. Needs to be addressed. A tip for management here. Tell your servers to drop off the bill when the food arrives and tell the customer no rush, just leaving here for when you are ready. You will have people paying much faster and turning more orders over quicker. Saw many people sitting waiting for a check while people were simultaneously clogging up the door way waiting to get in. Also get more tables that are 4 and 2 seaters. Allows you to push together for parties of 6 or space out separate parties of 4 and 2. And people waiting in line was not indicative of how amazing this place was. There literally were no other breakfast places in town and it's small and badly managed. If someone wanted to make a killing and bought a bigger place next door with more seating, hired some good cooks and had management skills...this place would take a massive hit. read more

Got there shortly after they opened on a Friday morning. Service was excellent. Food was great. Prices are a bit steep for breakfast, but it's a touristy area-so not surprising. read more

Nice interior and great server. She caught my request of no onion before bringing the food to our table and asked cook to make a new one. My son ordered chicken fingers with fries. I stole one from his plate and tasted old oil. My husband's omelet was ok but nothing was remarkable. Another son ordered skillets and he liked it. Coffee was medium roast and sadly tasted worse than Forger's. They charged "transaction fee" without any explanation. Our feeling about this fee was reflected upon our tip. read more

Disappointed in the service. I made an online order for takeout and waited the 25 minutes and when I arrived the order was even accepted. The excuse was they were busy and didn't have time to accept the order. Food was good, but the customer service was disappointing. read more

Local favorite great service and even better food always great stopping in to eat here

The food was very good... chicken fried steak, cudighi, Log Slide, and cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was good, but nothing outstanding. The cfs was very good with crisp hash browns. The Log Slide was like a scramble and was worth 4 stars. We happened to come at 11:00 when the place was slammed with customers, so we had to sit outside and wait about an hour for us to get our food. It seems to be a popular place and the service was good, even though they were overwhelmed. This restaurant was close to the dock for boat cruises to Painted Rock National Shoreline, so that may have contributed to the crowd. We were part of the group that decided to eat brunch before the cruise. read more

Earl E Byrds - a plate of breakfast food - New American Near Me - Munising, Michigan

These three things you have to know! 1. Get here we'll before 9 am. After that the line goes out the door the whole morning, and that's on a Thursday! 2. Order anything, it's exceptionally good, but please order the French Toast with cinnamon. It is so good, so light, so heavenly, that it floats an inch off the plate! 3. Enjoy talking to the really good folks that work there including the cooks. They were great to us, and appreciated hearing our praise. read more
