Their coffee is the best around. They have a ton of breakfast choices and everything I've had has been really good.

Fish for breakfast? Why not. I had the perch breakfast. It was so delicious. Also love the homemade toast. My honey had the hobo scramble which looked amazing. Service was very good. Food came out quickly. read more

We were there for breakfast. The specials were very good. Their coffee is outstanding as well as the service. We were taken care of 5 stars!

Good food and great service. Ambiance is nice. Kind of like the area's hidden food scene.

Super CLEAN restaurant! Waitress and hostess were very friendly! A lot of food for the money. It was cooked to order and served quickly. Talked to owner's (Harold) daughter- very pleasant! Highly recommend for breakfast, the cinnamon roll is a must! We'll definitely be going back! read more

We had another delicious meal at Harold's Place. My wife likes their fish. My favorite is their fried chicken. Our dining experience was enhanced with excellent service from Allyson R. She was delightful. read more

We love Harold's (aka Harold's Palace or Harold's Fine Dining). The foods we've had: Club wraps & sandwiches are delicious. Beef manhattan is also very good. Chicken Alfredo is decent. Prime rib wasn't bad, it just wasn't seasoned at all. Service is always good. Just a cozy little place. read more

Most tasteless prime rib I have ever eaten. At $32, the worst waste of money I have ever spent at a restaurant. Never again.

The food was amazing and everything (including the restrooms) were very clean. We did wait for about 10 minutes before our waitress came to our table but she was very nice. read more

Always good food and awesome service! Their breakfast is so good! Bloody Mary's are very tasty. read more

There was a fly in my coffee, and the waitress could not have cared less, she acted like it was a common occurrence and no big deal.

Great family size portions, friendly staff and good ambiance. Every time we visit my parents at their lake house, we make time to come in here because of the quality of their food and we always have a great time when we come. The staff is very attentive and as I mentioned the portion size are very generous. My wife and I shares he philly cheesesteak sandwich (you have a large selection of breads to chose from) and we also shared the Bacon Cheddar And Cheese fries (which are tasty). They also have some really good desserts. We shared the raspberry pie. read more

Let me tell you something right now. This place is the definition of a gem. On an all guys annual camping trip we hit this place up for breakfast on 9/11/21. Harolds Place hit every mark 7 for 7,all seven guys left happy as hell. Friendly courteous staff. Clean restaurant. Solid prices. And please let me know, where else can you find a Perch and Eggs breakfast special for $10.00? Homemade bread, nice quantity of clean tasty food served promptly. Harolds provided a menu with multiple unique and delicious options. We can't wait to come back, Harolds Place was an absolute pleasure. read more

Harold's Place - Perch and Eggs Breakfast $10 simply outstanding. - American Near Me - Brooklyn, Michigan

We were in town for a collegiate race weekend at the speedway and saw this restaurant was nearby, thought we would give it a try. Glad we did, the food was good, the atmosphere was laid back and the staff was friendly. A lot of locals appear to come here. So that is saying something, right? Definitely give it a try. read more

First time visiting this local option. I will be back. Relaxed, cozy, attentive staff and lots of happy chatter. The breakfast was fabulous with touches of homemade, thick white bread that is grilled instead of toasted. My meal was timely and cooked to perfection. Ordered a fabulous looking and smelling cinnamon roll to go. The menu has so many wonderful options and we will be back. Count on us becoming a known local! read more

A gem near the race track. This place is known for their fish but I ordered the rib eye on first day. Thin cut, marbled, really well marinated and good seasoning, no steak sauce needed. A really good treat after a tiring day. The battered fish was fresh, the meat was flaky and soft. Wings was good (better than the tasteless B-dubs) and sauce wasn't needed. Came back the next day and tried their baked fish. Yum!!! Would come back here when the opportunity comes. read more

Service was quite preposterous it took 1800 seconds for our appetizer to arrive. They were quite temperate as well. Another 1700 for our food. Wrap tastes quite stanky biscuits slapped though lowkey. read more

I was a little iffy about this place because it's on a small town near our family lake house. I am impressed. This is family owned and let me tell you that the food portions and taste are amazing. read more

Just a lovely restaurant with great food and service. The food was made fresh to order. I ordered fried mushrooms and to my surprise, they weren't frozen! Battered fresh fried mushrooms! Everything was so good. But I've only known 2 other places that take the time to do fresh mushrooms. And not in this area. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. There's a fireplace in the dining area that gives you a feeling of home. I really like this place. read more

After a watching day of racing at MIS we needed a place to escape this weird May weather; hail storms, rain, and 42 degrees. Harold's is just down the street, and was exactly what we were looking for. I never thought I'd order a hot chocolate in May. On this frigid day, I had to, and holy smokes, it was delicious. This was no packet/ powdered hot chocolate. It was fresh and delicious. Just thinking about it makes me want another. It was pretty much dinner time when we stopped in, so we went ahead and ordered some food as we warmed up. The grilled cheese sandwich is probably one of the better ones I've had in a long while. It was perfect. You can order the grilled cheese from a list of several different types of breads and cheeses. We got the onion rings appetizer, and they were so good- large and fresh. Beer selection is very limited. Our waitress was so quick, friendly, and attentive. I don't know that I'll go out of my way to come back here, but if I find myself at MIS in the future, I'll keep an eye out for Harold's. read more

As soon as we walk in we were told that they close at three. We walked in around 2:25pm and we sat down ordered our food and was told they are out of lettuce, so we order wraps and a burger, and they all came with lettuce on them. The mash potatoes were cold and the food was very dry. We felt like we were very rushed, our server was not good, no refills when our cups sat there. They were all in a rush to leave their JOB sweeping and vacuuming while us and one other table was still eating, that was very disrespectful we couldn't even eat all of our food. Will never go there again. ridiculous. read more

Quick stop while lake house shopping. Wonderful service and food, would recommend! Crispy chicken Cobb salad was fantastic! Double cheeseburger and fries were awesome! read more

Harold's Place is a decent family style restaurant in the Irish Hills of Michigan. It's not a fancy place. The walls are adorned with NASCAR paraphernalia and hunting decorations. The menu is fairly large with traditional American down-home type fare. There are sandwiches, salad, soup and home cooked meals like chicken, meatloaf and mashed potatoes. There are also boards that features specials every day. Harold's is also open for breakfast and serves a pretty good breakfast. Harold's isn't any thing crazy, but the food is good and there are not really many restaurants around. If you're hungry and in the area it's a good place to stop for a meal. read more

Harold's is a solid 4 star place. Not 5 star only because it's a casual and friendly place, and as such they do drop the ball here and there, just like all of us do. However, the staff are consistently friendly, the food is always better than expected, and the atmosphere is family and local centered. It just feels good to have a place close by that doesn't deal in pretension or deception- just good, homemade food! I strongly recommend the fish options at Harold's, from the generous platter of delicious perch filets, to the mouth-watering walleye dinner, they do not mess around here. Did I mention the fried chicken dinner?? Let me just say, don't make the mistake of skipping the chicken. Some places struggle with fried chicken, but not Harold's! Pick a couple sides to accompany your dinner, and save room for a slice of pie or a giant cinnamon roll!! Next, I'll have to check out the breakfast! Gotta wake up early for that!! Chalk these guys up as one of the Best of the Irish Hills! read more

After a long day of searching out local antique shops, we were starving and took a chance on this diner off the beaten path - Harold's Place. Delicious burgers, good beer on tap and friendly service. So pleased with this hidden gem. read more

I had a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings, my husband had grilled cheese on sourdough with sweet potato fries. He frequently gets sweet potato fries and said their homemade dipping sauce was very good. My food was delicious too. My burger was cooked as ordered (side note: they ground their own beef in house) & the batter on the onion rings was thin & crispy- yum!! Service was quick & friendly. They had several dessert choices including peanut butter pie - got ours to go. Our table was just as you entered the restaurant and therefore you can hear the kitchen conversation and everyone that gets seated walks by you. It wasn't an inconvenience or bothersome for us, but be aware of this and ask to be seated further into the restaurant if the chatter or heavy traffic would be distracting for you. read more

Food is good and place is always clean inside, service staff are very rude and impatient. I've given it many tries but I will not be coming back read more

This place is out in the country down US12. A log cabin like house with a fire place in side make the atmosphere in here really nice. Waitresses are friendly and the food is super good. If you like omelettes try the Mexican and ask for sour cream on the side. Also the rye bread that's toast is grilled and is so good. Love the hash browns. Never been here for dinner but if it's anything like the breakfasts you won't be disappointed. read more

Great place we stopped at on a daytrip through Irish Hills. Wonderful fresh Walleye fillet, onion rings home made goodness, coleslaw was great too. Service great!! read more

We like the food as most of our dishes have tasted good and were fresh. However, like a few others reviewers on this stream, I have to agree that the service is amazingly poor - EVERY SINGLE TIME. You wait..wait wait. And it is only half full. We have been about 6-7 times in the past year and each time we laugh about how the food is good but expecting poor and slow service. Too bad. We are probably on our last effort of going there. read more

My rare burger came out well done. The second burger was rancid. Our waitress never noticed our empty drinks and I had to wait 15 minutes at the counter to pay my bill while the cashier cleared out her CC machine and messed with the register. read more

My wife, son and I ate at Harold's Place for the first time the other day(Sunday). I had the Cheeseburger medium done with with American cheese. Wish they had pepperjack cheese but the options are American, Cheddar and Swiss. The cheese was good but the beef is the star of the show and I loved the cooked crispy bun. Delicious burger. My wife had the Biscuits & Gravy and she enjoyed it. My son had the Southern Fried Chicken and it was absolutely delicious. The breading was light and crispy/flavorful. Honestly this place was quite the surprise and kinda bummed I hadn't found it sooner as a local. If I had one area I'd mention that didn't affect us as a family but could others is the wait time was quite awhile and the server while sweet wasn't the most attentive. We had trouble getting our bill paid and had to go flag our server down from kitchen. We always give the benefit of the doubt though and it was a bit busy when we showed up although mot so much when we left. All in all we enjoyed our visit and would come back. read more

I had an amazing late lunch here at Harold's! I ordered the chicken tenders with sweet potato fries and a garden salad. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. The beer was cold and hit the spot. I couldn't be happier! read more

Let's get this out of the way first- the food and sense of community within Harold's is unmatched. However, it's difficult to enjoy these things when Harold's obscure hours leads my group to driving ALL the way to Harold's only to find that it is closed. Mind you, we checked the online hours. Didn't make a difference. If you're going to take away our breakfast, at least put it online so we don't waste our gas money. The homemade white toast is to DIE for. read more

Ordered the prime rib for takeout. It was ready within 15 minutes. It was a nice thick cut, and seasoned just right. Baked potato was salted and cooked nicely. Green beans were fresh with a nice char. Staff was friendly, and the restaurant had a nice relaxed atmosphere when I stopped in. I'll be back to eat in next time. read more

So love Harold's fish and sweet potatos and always leave room for dessert..Wish it wasn't just one a year...Always stop when I come from Wisconsin for the NASCAR weekend at MIS read more

Bad food, bad service. Since it was the ONLY place around we stopped in. My burger was so overcooked that I had to send it back. My second burger was spoiled and inedible. Our waitress was useless and we had to wait for the cashier for more than 15 minutes just to check out because she didn't know how to fix the Credit card machine. After having a terrible meal and bad service you would think the management would have said don't worry about the bill but instead I had to stand there and wait and wait and wait... We will NEVER go back even if it means driving 30 minutes out of the way. read more
