This place serves no frills, very good comfort food. Walked in here after a long day at Mackinac…read moreIsland. Our server Lisa was so warm and friendly (as if she was your mother) and took great care of us! Got the parmesan topped whitefish with creamy mushroom soup and coleslaw. The mushroom soup was creamy and hearty. I liked the coleslaw - just the right amount of sweet and sour for me. I enjoyed the fish very much. We would have gotten some desserts but we were so full. We did see that the cheesecake slices were huge! Would definitely recommend this place!

Excellent, friendly service from Lisa. Ambiance is small town family restaurant with wooden booths…read moreand lots of light. To place a carry out order, you must come inside and sit down at a table, then tell your server that you want to place a to go order. Lisa was helpful, told me the order would be out pretty quickly, and she brought me a glass of water for while I waited. I ordered the mackinaw burger with onion rings, and hot ham and cheese with fries. I also ordered a coconut cream pie and a Dutch cherry pie slice. All of this was to go, and she packed it up and brought me carry-bags for it. The coconut cream pie was good. The Dutch cherry was ok but, I have had better. The French fries were good--crispy and lightly seasoned. The onion rings were large and hot/fresh, but they are battered (I prefer breaded), and they are pretty greasy. The burger was nice sized and cooked well done, which I like. It came with cheese, lots of pickles, relish, lots of mustard, and just a little ketchup. The hot ham and cheese was okay. I chose white bread rather than rye or wheat. The bread was not special--seemed like white bread you'd buy at any grocery in a plastic wrapper. There's an up-charge for the onion rings. I say skip that and get the fries. For the 2 sandwiches, 1 with fries, one with onion rings, and 2 pieces of pie, my bill was $51.36 before any tip added on. I get that it's a short season up north here, so I expect everything to be a little pricey. If the burger had a bit of char and came on an upscale bun, if the hot ham and cheese came on a thicker toasted bread, I'd say ok. But for what we got, it was overpriced.

It was a great place to stop in and have breakfast. My girlfriend and her family had been here…read morebefore and wanted to go again. The staff were friendly and engaging the moment we walked into the door. It was def a home style feel to the building and interior. I will say a bit outdated but sometimes those are the gems you don't know you are missing. The food was served quickly after ordering, around 10 minutes. It was fresh, hot and delicious. Couldn't have asked for a better breakfast for the value as well!

As we prowled the Sunday morning streets of Cheboygan with growling stomachs and brunch on the…read morebrain, Step Inn sounded like an invitation, and we're glad we accepted it. The place was full when we entered, but no one was ahead of us in line. We were seated with mugs of fresh coffee in front of us in five minutes. For food, we stuck to the basics: plates of two eggs/hash browns/toast, with sausage added to mine. Overall it was very good. The toast was thick, possibly homemade, but if not, it still wasn't the kind of industrial-grade bread lots of diners serve, My sausage wasn't greasy or bland in the least (which, again, is something too many diners settle for). Over-medium eggs were verging on hard cooked, but I guess that beats underdone. By the time we finished the line at the back had grown, and I'm sure those in it were glad to see us stand up. They probably also left just as satisfied as we did.
