There aren't enough wonderful superlatives to describe this place. Delicious food! Fantastic, friendly service! And their ethnic food nights are something to keep your eyes open for.

We were camping and decided to go to Barton City for breakfast. Went to the only breakfast place in town. We were a bit chilled and walked into a super clean warm establishment . Love it. There were mostly locals. The young waitress was pleasant and smiles always. We ordered our breakfasts and they were brought out shortly. We both ordered Little Manny. Two eggs, potatoes, choice of meat and toast. The cooks add a little piece of fruit. Nice touch

This restaurant is the hidden gem of North East Michigan! I went for lunch the other day and got the sliders and fries. Both were amazing! My waitress was very kind and attentive and ensured my food was exactly as I ordered. What a great new addition to area! I'll be back again and again!

“Overall, a great spot to check out where I will definately be returning in the near future to sample their smash burgers, where I am a fan of that style of burger.”

This is a solid go to place from breakfast or lunch in Tawas…read more Clean, nice dining room. Service is always good here, fast and food is hot. They have a nice menu here, some traditional items and some nice new choices. You can get many breakfast items served as an omelette, bowl or wrap. They have several options with avocado. Prices are reasonable to keep them open! Give them a try.

It pains me to leave a mere two-star review but I couldn't find much to like here. The quaint…read moreambience, friendly service (we were one of the first guests to arrive on a Friday morning mid-May) and fresh brewed decaf were the highlights. The food, which is most important, was a big disappointment. I am a cinnamon roll connoisseur and was so excited to try the rolls that past Yelpers raved about. They were out of caramel today so we ordered the grilled roll with pecans and homemade buttercream frosting. It looked dry and tasted even drier. Barely warm, flourey and tasteless. The frosting was the best part. The menu of choices looks wonderful and diverse for a small cafe. I was delighted to see shrimp and grits. The skillet was very small, the food was hot (a plus) but it was heavy on the grits, which lacked flavor and space on shrimp (only 4), sausage and sauce. I ate the toppings with half the grits and left the rest. My husband ordered the hoagie sandwich with hash browns. His comment was "a lot of bread and minimal filling" with "luke warm" hash browns that were more spongy than crispy. It's hard to go wrong with breakfast, but somehow Lazy Toaster has missed the mark. The concept is fun, the menu is great, yet the recipes and preparation could use some major improvements. The tab ($41 for two) was not bad, but was high for the quality. We liked the decor yet felt the cleanliness was lacking (sticky floors and no paper towels in the bathroom). A breakfast place in East Tawas is a plus; I hope this cafe commits to some improvements and stays around.

When Rox's first opened, I was amazed but skeptical of their extensive menu. They covered a LOT of…read morepossibilities, from breakfasts through sandwiches & burgers, big entrées, and pizza. To the point where I was worried about the sustainability of such a big menu given the small-town environment of Alcona County. Nevertheless, I was happy that Rox's opened in Lincoln because if anyone knows and truly understands the area in the context of the wider, bigger world outside county lines, they know that businesses like this are sorely needed . But the big worry was whether that large a menu was sustainable for the long run. Whether we ordered takeout or sit inside for lunch, my family and I always felt cared for and appreciated. Then COVID happened. No lie, I was concerned for them because from Day 1 of opening, Rox's Diner worked hard to support the community and be a welcoming place for everyone. We needed a place like Rox's to make it through the darkest of times, not just for themselves but for the village. But they survived. The menu has been pared back now and has become more tightly focused. I think that was a good move because it allows the staff to concentrate on making what they're now offering THAT MUCH BETTER. I appreciate the original aim to offer as much as possible, to try to satisfy as many wide-ranging tastes as possible, but sometimes, that can be a bit overreaching. Being great at a few things versus being mediocre at a lot of things because of spreading oneself out too thinly is sometimes a better choice in the end. So with my most recent visit to Rox's, I was again very satisfied with my lunch. We won't say it out loud, but it was their little jab at a popular fast food chain's signature sandwich that involves some beef and cheese. But Rox's did it better, with actual beef (not some strangely processed sheets of meat-product) and on a pretzel bun, no less. The side of waffle fries was so generous that I had to save half of it for my lunch the next day. In the end, we're not looking for a Food Network spotlight that's earning a Michelin Star. What we have and what we want is a welcoming, warm, hospitable business looking to take care of the community through good food and good vibes. Rox's is that place.

We went for a dinner on a Saturday night. The waitress was on top of things pleasant and gave us…read moregreat service. We ordered our meal and did not have to wait to long. My Monte Carlo was alright nothing spectacular. My husband ordered the orchard sandwich and was very happy with it. The sandwich was on a pretzel bun. The flavor was great. Another person ordered a the meatloaf dinner and enjoyed it. The lasagna was not quite what I would have expected. I prefer my noodles to be cooked not deep fried and I enjoy a more traditional dish with cheese melted on it. With all that said the meals were alright and we will return
