Food and service is good but needs to be open till 8 PM daily and open on Sundays. You always get personal service

Excellent food, service and homemade breads, pies and baked goods! Jenny and her team were great! We will be back!

The food was Delicious, the staff were amazing and friendly. I am huge on great food and great places to eat. I can't say enuff. About the food. We all thought the food and prices were amazing. Very friendly atmosphere. We will definitely go back again when we are in that part of michigan read more

Okay, ignore the atmosphere and decor. The food is incredible and clearly prepared by those with a passion for food. I had the meat omelette and tried the stuffed biscuits & gravy. The toast was freshly made thick cut sourdough bread and was accompanied by blueberry and cherry jam they make in house. I also bought some carrot cake cupcakes and brought them home. Even the next day they were seemed so fresh I would have sworn they were made an hour before. This is a very small family owned and operated restaurant with a local reputation for baked goods and good, hearty meals. But, and this is important, the sparse decor and single open dining room is nothing to look at. Had I not read prior reviews, I would have walked in and right back out again. I put some faith in other Yelp reviews and I'm glad I did! read more

Great place! We stopped here on our way to sleeping bear dunes and had breakfast. Huge portions, good food, fair price, and friendly servers. I highly recommend it. read more

Jennifer's Roundabout Restaurant - Fresh homemade jams - American Near Me - Mesick, Michigan

A super casual, local breakfast spot with homemade foods! Glad we stopped in on our way home to give a try at the Roundabout. Friendly and prompt food service when we came in around 10am on a weekday. The fresh breads and homemade jelly/jams (cherry, blueberry, maple, strawberry and mixed fruit) were great! Plus I ordered and enjoyed a half order of homemade biscuits and gravy - very tasty with sausage and good gravy thickness. We also tried the Irish omelette with minced corn beef and Swiss - was OK but I'm more accustomed to having larger chunks of meat. Based on this I'd suggest staying with the more traditional eggs and meat like bacon or sausage. Hash browns were fresh and good, but again, definitely try their different homemade thick slices breads, heard the raisin toast was wonderful. Liked their jams so much, decided to take a few jars "to go"! So if in the area, and hungry for some home cooked breakfast, give Jennifer's Roundabout a try. Enjoy! read more

If we're going to be honest we expected the worst when walking in the door here. We figured it was destined to be a small town greasy diner with cheap food. However, we were more than wrong and thrilled to admit it. While the plates weren't shiny and it wasn't fancy the food that arrived on our table would rival many of the places in Traverse City. This local family (husband and wife) has done a wonderful job at providing top notch breakfast in a family environment. The not so trendy scene is filled with locals. It feel like you're eating at home (with someone who actually knows how to cook). Rather than frozen foods dropped in the fryer (from a distributor) they make almost everything that they can from scratch and its apparent with every bite. We have only been here for breakfast and left raving about it. The service was excellent and the food was darn good. To top it off the homemade bread and jellies (mixed berry, maple, strawberry, etc) are enough to open a bakery with. (Jenn will bake you a pie if you request it. She even makes sweet potato pie!) I odrdered a meat omelette with green peppers, onions, sausage and bacon. The veggies were sliced in house, the sausage was made on site and the bacon came from a local farmer. Meanwhile, I also ordered blueberry french toast, which is again made from scratch. So good. No surprise, we weren't hungry for lunch later. My buddy ordered a blueberry pancake and stuffed biscuits and gravy and loved both. The breakfast here was so good that it embarrassed every other diner we'd been to within 50 miles. It's one of those places that once you come you'll want to come back as often as you can. read more

Good breakfast. Fresh homemade bread with homemade jams and jellies. That was a nice touch. Service was quick and friendly. read more

This is a four star rating for small town restaurants. So keep that in mind. It's just good food and the service is good as well. You don't come here for fancy, but there are a few a stand outs. First off, they make homemade bread. In a town of a couple thousand people they provide homemade bread and jams for locals and passerbys. This is the first place I had gluten free bread and it's still the best. Airy and light. It's delicious. They sell homemade maple syrup, pies, and jerkys too. On my frequent repeat roster is the sparks hash. I know I can make this at home, but I don't. So I get it here. Crispy hash browns mixed with onions, green peppers, ham, and topped with melted cheddar cheese. It just hits the spot, ya know? I fell in love with bacon here. I hope they still have the same thick sliced, fresh bacon that Sparks had because that was one of the best parts about this place for me. Oh, the roundabout replaced Sparks Restaurant. But you barely know it except for the name change. Everything is almost exactly the same. Including the elves on the wall. I am looking forward to seeing if their burgers and bacon are just as delicious as they used to be. My favorite part of this last visit was when I went to pay and the lady said that my bill was taken care of. My immediate response was, "why?" And she said, "haven't you ever heard of paying it forward?" In that moment I felt a bit sad about my initial reaction, but happy that I got a nice reminder that there are good people out there. So it's my turn to pay it forward. When you're up north and in that country frame of mind, Roundabout just can't be beat. read more

Wonderful little place and the food was really good. Homemade fruit jelly and baked goods also. Friendly service also. I definitely recommend you stop. read more

Everything about this place is amazing! Our van broke down just outside the restaurant and Jennifer and her husband helped us push it into their parking lot. When jumpstartung the car didn't work, Jennifer drove us to an auto shop down the street, all during restaurant hours. We couldn't be more appreciative of them taking the time to help us during their workday. On a separate note, the food was deluctible. It was filling without being overly greasy like a lot of other diners. And very reasonably priced. The pancakes are in my top 3 especially with the homemade syrup and jelly. read more

At first glance this looks like a standard small town diner, but things start to look different when the tray of homemade jellies are brought out to your table before the food arrives. After this you will notice the very fresh and flavourful bread which is made onsite. Maybe you order pancakes and end up eating locally made REAL maple syrup and you notice how great it tastes. At some point you may say to yourself "something is different here". We have been coming to this location for many years whenever we vacation in the area and were sad to find out that Sparks had closed, but what is here now (The Roundabout) maintains everything that made Sparks unique, and I dare say they even improved a few things, like painting over the strange leprechaun mural and improving the kitchen so that food is made faster?. Only thing I would offer for constructive criticism is to fresh grind the coffee beans. read more

We come here often while in Mesick camping. Jenny's Roundabout is our first stop when we come to Mesick. The breadis homemade & delicious, they even have gluten free bread & pancakes. The Homemade Jams & maple syrup are delicious, strawberry rhubarb on sourdough toast is perfection:) The biscuits are homemade, flaky & tender like they should be! The sausage gravy is seasoned & meaty, creamy & amazing. The Bacon is thick & smoky, (crispy when requested-kinda wobbly when not). My daughter loves the chocolate chippancakes. I've had the farmers & western omelettes both are always cooked perfectly generously filled with ham, cheese & veggies. I had a 1/2lb cheeseburger here yesterday which was cooked to a nice juicy pink medium, served on a homemade bun The sweet potato fries are crinkle cut & very good. I can't think of anything bad about Jenny's Roundabout except how far it is from my house. read more

Jennifer's Roundabout Restaurant - American Near Me - Mesick, Michigan

The kids were starving and we just happened to pass this restaurant while heading home from vacation. By looking at it we weren't expecting much more than run of the mill local dining. We were pleasantly surprised when our food arrived. The pancakes and French toast were some of the biggest I've seen. My son said they were the best blueberry pancakes he has ever had. The two youngest got the PB&J and they were ginormous! My husband and myself got some breakfast platters and we cleaned our plates, the food was absolutely delicious. The home made bread, which was also huge, was amazing! Good prices, big portions and friendly staff. If we ever travel up north we will be stopping there again. read more

Great stop for a good home made breakfast. I had American omelette with bacon and I could actually find pieces of bacon in the omelette! Homemade sourdough toast was light airy and delicious, on top of that they bring you a basket of home made Jams and jellies. Our waitress was genuinely happy and attentive, not over the top just right. There is nothing I can say negative about this place food right on, service right on, and great price! We plan on stopping back by on our way home for a hand dipped ice cream cone. Great job Jennifer's Roundabout! read more

What a find. Monster breakfast and hash is great! Homemade everything! Quick service and easy access off M-37. Reasonable prices. Pickup homemade jellies and syrup! Highly recommend. read more

We stopped here on our way home from Traverse City. Everyone in my family ordered something different. It was by far the best breakfast we have had in a very very long time. It is very causal dining but it was very clean. The waitress was so wonderful! The bread is homemade and so delicious. Their omelettes were incredible! The homemade jam was just like what grandma used to make!! The pancakes were also amazing and the bacon was smoked and had great flavor. Honestly I can not say enough wonderful things about their chef and waitress!! read more

Excellent food. Burger was great, my daughter got the cinnamon roll it was delicious.the service was good but they weren't very busy.

I had never heard of Jenny's before, and we pass through Mesick several times a year. We stopped in for lunch after my wife read favorable reviews. My turkey club on toasted sourdough was excellent, with an generous amount of with meat and served with very good potato chips. My wife's BLT look amazing, and was loaded with bacon. And we didn't have to continually prompt my daughter to keep eating - she devoured her burger and fries. We didn't wait long for our food and out server was pleasant and fast. The interior had a nice small town / locals feel to it, and this is the first place I've visited with gnomes painted on the walls. And you know you love gnome-painted walls. An all-around great experience. read more
