Oh my, what a hidden gem! I was looking for a good family ran restaurant and was not disappointed. I got the special of the day, cod nuggets and they didn't disappoint. Hot and fresh and the fries were yummy too. The service was great, my drink stayed filled and the waitress was attentive. The restaurant was clean and had really neat curtains. One thing to note, they only take cash or checks. No debit or credit cards. read more

Kortman's Restaurant - The Cod Nuggets and fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rogers City, Michigan

Great breakfast. We got takeout several times. Pancakes are big and good. When you add blueberries they add lots. Omelets are good. Corned beef hash is good. Biscuits and gravy is good (I'm a southerner). Portions are a good size. The bread is homemade, and it's good. Takeout was well organized - they gave us plenty of condiments. Highly recommend for breakfast. Cash or check only. read more

I enjoy going to a restaurant that the local town people frequent. It's a sign of good service and food. That's exactly what this place presented to us. The waitress was top of her game. Breakfast skillets were what we ordered and both were delicious. It came with fresh baked bread. The server checked on us often. We will return when in the area. read more

Great little casual family spot. Skillets are delicious, and friendly, welcoming service always ready with a hot coffee top off (even decaf if you ask!). read more

Stopped here on our way from Sault Ste Marie to Alpena. Nice little local restaurant. Service was very good. Pretty much homestyle, local diner vibe. Prices are very reasonable. My wife had burger, I had the chicken and dumpling soup - both were good. read more

This is a typical small town Café. I had the country skillet. It was pretty much what I expected it to be. I can't say I'm fond of canned mushrooms, but it was tasty enough. Waitresses were very friendly and it seems to be a pretty popular place. To be honest, I was looking for country fried steak, and I assumed this place would have it, but no. I might eat here again but it's nothing spectacular. oh and by the way, I really dislike it when I get my coffee, the right color and the waitress pours more in and screws it up. read more

Our breakfast was very good and the prices are unbelievably cheap. The staff is attentive and the restaurant has a small town diner feel to it. Although they do only take cash. read more

Always an excellent meal Been coming for years and it's my number one local spot From Breakfast to dinners you can't get a bad meal And their pies and soups are The best ! read more

If you ever want a vegetarian french dip, kortman's is the place to get it. If you ask them to add the meat, they'll charge an extra $4. Hahaha read more

Amazing, everything is good! Homemade bread, great service.. just wish they were open longer.

The best breakfast in Rogers City. When ever I am in Rogers City I stop in for breakfast. It's always hard to choose between the Big Breakfast and Southern Omelette. What makes this breakfast so special is the Plath's bacon and sausage they use. And their homemade wheat bread is great. Great service and great staff. read more

Best breakfast, super waitstaff. My favorite was bacon and potatoes. Restaurant was packed but worth it.

Highly recommend the Daily Homemade bread! The toast and french bread is made of it and it's fluffy and delicious. Would definitely visit again! read more

Very generous portions especially the omelets! Love their homemade bread/toast. Cheezy decor but friendly staff. They DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS or CHECKS. So have cash on hand so you dont end up washing dishes! ;) Also..not very fond of their homemade tarter sauce ( doesnt taste anything like tartar sauce actually) but their fish is very good. read more

Amazingly great food and really fresh. Everything we had was either homemade and or locally sourced, and you can really tell...in fact I forgot how great these little hometown places were as far as quality, compared to the cookie cutter Greek style "coney island" type of diners that are inundated in the metro Detroit area, that share some bland gross formula of bland and blah! The ambiance was definitely hometown and local feeling, which gave this place charm including the house refrigerator they had behind the front counter and the lack of technology aiding the servers to calculate bills, so frequently I saw many or all the servers hunched over doing the math on the bill. Interestingly, they had free wifi lol. One thing that did stand out that took a hit on their rating for me, was the service. The very first time in and there isnt a sign guiding you to sit or wait, so angry looking lady comes from the back sort of glaring at us and I say "seat ourselves?", after a few seconds she just stared at me and then barked out "sit anywhere", funny thing is each of the empty tables (about 6 of them) were not cleaned off, which was a little awkward, I could be wrong (probably am) I think the cook had to come out to clean tables. Next thing I noticed on this first visit with the angry server was how slow and inefficient she was, I mean we sat and sat and no waters or coffee for several minutes (which included refills and the follow-up stuff like "how is everything") , again the place wasn't 100% full and she looked to only have about 3 tables. I also noticed that the other servers quickly handled the other parties coming in after us very timely, and I actually had to grab another server for a refill as she was zooming by. Perhaps our server was just filling in and was a doctor or Metaphysicist by trade. In any event we loved the food so much we came back, so the service part was really a non-issue, more of an annoyance. Something to note is...as odd as it is to see these days, they are cash only, so bring enough because I didn't see an ATM. I would certainly recommend this place for quality, flavor and price! read more

Small, unassuming and delicious! The staff is kind and friendly. Fast, efficient service. We ate here 3 times and each time, great food. The goddess salad and omelettes were a favorite! read more

Kortmans is just north of the M68/M23 intersection, so please go past McDonalds and check out Kortman's. The burgers are great, the baked chicken is raved over, and the homemade pies are killer too. We're trying to branch out from McDonalds, and this place does great for that. The food is much better, and it's comparable in price now, since McDonalds keeps going up! A great cheeseburger loaded with toppings, fries, and a Pepsi will be about $9.50 which for a hand-smashed fresh beef burger is great. The chicken / roast beef / roast pork & dressing meals are only $8.95 on special! Roll by Kortman's, great small town place. Staff is friendly, restrooms are clean, everything was great. As the reviewer below said, the breakfasts are great, and the Plath's stuff is so good. (Local butcher shop) read more

Kortman's Restaurant - Breakfast with local bacon and handmade bread - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rogers City, Michigan

Eggs over cooked. Biscuits and gravy are from a can. The homemade toast was good. Not someplace I would come back to.

I've taken the family here several times for breakfast. The service is always very good. The food is good old heavy traditional breakfast food. We love it. The place has been clean and tidy every time we've gone. We will go again! Why only 4 stars? - went for dinner and had the fish and chips. The fish is horrible!!! It was way over cooked and the tartar sauce is a sweet sauce that is really nasty. If you want "fish n chips go somewhere else. I guess it's normal not to love everything on the menu but we do love them for breakfast! read more

I was very disappointed, I read all the great reviews and expected an enjoyable dinner. It was about 630 p.m and they were out of several things. I ordered the roast pork dinner and got roast pork with beef gravy, and they did not even bother to tell me they ran out of pork gravy or offer me something else. The bread was delicious but had to ask for it twice. Our waiter was friendly enough but very inattentive . Left unsatisfied, will not return. Most of our food was canned or frozen. read more

Simply put - Kortman's is an institution. My family has been coming here since the 1950's. The food here is nothing fancy, but oh so good and comforting. Best breakfast IMHO in the entire world. Don't be put off by the décor or the locals giving you the eye when you arrive - it's all part of the charm. Great coffee, toast and egg dishes. read more

I get up to Rogers's City about once a year and always have breakfast at Kortman's. The service is a little slow (hence the 4 stars). But, the food is just awesome. Eggs are fresh, meats are from local Plath's Market and are very tasty. My favorite is the Big Breakfast with hash browns. Roger's City is not really on the beaten path but I you ever get a chance to visit, have breakfast at Kortman's. read more

If you're camping at Ocqueoc, do yourself a solid and get breakfast at Kortman's, in nearby Rogers City. It's neither cute nor charming, but the food is good. And hey, they don't take credit so bring cash. read more

came in on a very busy night with only one waitress on hand. food arrived quickly and service was excellent. we ordered the appetizers combo everything was enjoyable the larger battered mushrooms were a little doughy but the small ones were great. we ordered 4 different burgers all were good and the locally sourced bacon was excellent and crisp. definitely worth the stop! read more

5 stars when compared to similar northern Michigan family restaurants. The waitress was friendly, accommodating and efficient, the food well prepared and tasty. My wife says they made the best chicken salad sandwich she had ever eaten. If you want one, they are only served monday. We'll certainly be back! read more

Really enjoyed the blueberry crumble, the chicken soup and homemade bread are wonderful, thanks

Went for the 1st time. Have been coming to Rogers City for over 12 years. Not sure why we waited so long. Great breakfast. Fast service and the servers were very friendly. Highly recommend Kortman's read more

Great homemade bread. My omelet was exactly what I asked for and the portions we're just right.

This restaurant is the best in northern Michigan! There is extremely quick service for breakfast; about 15 minutes! The food is some of the greatest I've had in a long time. The southern omelet is highly suggested. If it is your birthday, you receive a fresh cinnamon roll. It is relatively cheap, and the atmosphere is very fun and relaxed. It is a great place to enjoy great food. read more

Went here for a fantastic breakfast after staying at the nearby state park campground. FANTASTIC omelet and their home made bread brought tears to my eyes it was so good. read more

You gotta love Kortman's. I've eaten countless meals in this restaurant and pretty much all of them have been satisfactory. This place is consistent, you will always be treated like a valued customer, no matter if you are a local or just passing through. They offer daily specials, and home cooked, diner style food. I usually order the club sandwich or fish sandwich and have never been disappointed. Breakfast is really good here as well. This place may seem a little "run down" from the outside, but just adds to the character of a small town diner. The service is friendly, the place is clean, and the food is good. Also note that Kortman's does not accept debit or credit cards so make sure you have cash. read more
