I was thoroughly impressed with the eggs Benedict; the hollandaise seemed to be homemade!

Definitely worth the visit.

Our server (sorry forgot her name) was friendly and efficient. Good ambience to the place. I had the Rueben sandwich on sourdough bc I don't like rye bread.

It was fabulous, waffle cone and traverse city cherry ice cream. Then the next day after a full beach day we went for dinner with a full crew of our family. 11 of us, we all loved our meals. We had lots of different things from pulled pork, brisket, gyros and street tacos and more ice cream of course. Fast great service and menu selections. Then our last night in town we decided to go back again just my husband and I and enjoyed the outside seating area. The landscaping is very nice. Very relaxing and casual place to go for a quick meals with a great drink selection lots of beers wine and cocktails to choose from. Thank you Scooby's. We'll be back next trip.

One waitress took our order another waitress delivered food to the table. I'm thinking this could have all been avoided if we just had our original waitress. Our original waitress would have realized that the food we ordered was missing or not even ordered at all this is at no fault to our waitress that delivered our food she was nice and took care of it. The service was excellent, our server that took our order waited on us before at another restaurant and I can tell you Scooby's be happy you have her, she's a gem. We sat outside it was nice but I'm concerned others will find it loud from the traffic. The atmosphere inside is a 50, 60's retro look and definitely fits the name and is simply phenomenal, good work. There is a store inside Scooby's that sells all kinds of wines. Liquors, IPA's also has a beer cave and so much more in itself it's worth the stop. We stopped in for lunch it was great food and very reasonably priced. The shaved pastrami sandwich recommended was a great choice. Gyro was decent but meat was on the dryer side. Chicken strips were more for a kids meal and the boneless chicken wings just ok. So glad to have Scooby's in the Stee I hope you do well and will see you soon.

We were vacationing in Ludington and decided to have dinner at Old Hamlin Restaurant downtown. The…read moreword "old" definitely matches the style of the restaurant. The interior feels dated, but also warm, welcoming, and homey. It has the charm of a place that has been serving the same homemade recipes for generations, and it truly feels like both the restaurant and the recipes have remained true to their roots since opening day. We were seated quickly, and our waitress, Sydney, greeted us promptly. She was friendly and took the time to tell us about the daily specials and homemade soups. Two of our children ordered the kids' spaghetti, while our other child had the chicken strips and fries. I ordered the Monterey Chicken Sandwich based on Sydney's recommendation, and my husband chose the meatloaf sandwich with a cup of chicken noodle soup. Everything we ordered was good. The kids all enjoyed their meals, and I absolutely loved my sandwich. My husband enjoyed the meatloaf as well, although he mentioned he would probably try something different if we return on a future visit. The homemade pies looked incredible, but we already had dessert plans elsewhere, so we'll have to save those for another time. Overall, while the restaurant's interior may feel a bit dated, the homemade food, reasonable prices, and friendly service made for a very enjoyable meal. If you're looking for a comforting, home-cooked meal while visiting Ludington, Old Hamlin Restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

There is a wait because the food is amazing, and everyone knows it, we are happy to wait our turn to get in to eat multiple times a week because it's like a home away from home, only with better food. Another huge plus here besides the amazing food and friendly staff is the turn around time on food. Idk what kind of magic they do in the kitchen but the food is always ready in the blink of an eye. Ask for a side of the chipotle ranch, trust me, it will change your life. All year round this is my go to place to eat, the soups are better than I could ever make, the stuffed hashbrowns are amazing, their Bloody Marys are perfect! So good, you may have to wait cuz everyone knows how good it is, but I promise it's worth it! Put in your name, go browse around town, enjoy the experience!

There is a reason this dish is the most popular. My daughter got the most amazing toast with homemade jam and not being much of a carb guy, I ended up getting one of two extra orders at our table of just toast! There is no question is this all made with quality, local ingredients but also with a lot of care and love. It's emulates from the waitresses and their attitudes towards everyone. It's always super awesome to have the chef himself pop by the table - which Jared did. You can tell he take pride in what he does and expects nothing less than perfection and the utmost satisfaction in the dining room.
