Great menu, many selections, easy parking. Love the diamond plate wainscoting!

This place is has fun diner style decor with huge breakfasts, booths and stools. Looks like everyone keeps coming back. Many breakfasts to choose from, we read they whole menu and finally my husband just asked for what he wanted- no problem - he got the breakfast he liked. There are special items- pumpkin pancakes this time! We had eggs, he had French toast, I had potatoes, 4 pieces of thin style crispy bacon and rye toast. Decaf coffee fresh made, thanks for that! I am full of good food and ready to go to work. Not crowded but many couples, families, friends. Fast service with a smile!

I'm not generally a fan of Coney Island restaurants. I find them to be very mediocre. This isn't the case with Mel's Cafe. I walked in skeptical, but left as a fan! Our service was good, and very fast. I had a salad that stands out as my best salad at a coney type restaurant in as long as I can remember. This is definitely a stand out place for a quick meal that's still really delish!!

My parents have lived in Clarkston since 1998 and we have never been to Mel's Grill 2 which is a shame! We dined here for the first time last week and were blown away!!! We have definitely been missing out. The interior is charming, the service is impeccable, prices are more than fair, and the food is SO tasty!!! I had the Veggie Benedict with Hash browns and we shared the Egg Nog French Toast special. YUM!

Everything except the kitchen sink

Great food and service. Clean. Loved the avocado toast, biscuits and gravy and the thick ham!

Breakfast seems like a hit here. We had omelettes that were alright. The best thing we ordered was the chicken Baja soup. Tomato base with corn and black beans. Unique. Service was excellent and they have an extensive menu.

I've now eaten at Sisters Cafe twice, and both visits far exceeded my expectations. From the moment…read moreyou walk in, it's clear this isn't just another café--it's a place that genuinely cares about quality, freshness, and community. The portions are incredibly generous, the prices are very reasonable, and the quality of the ingredients truly stands out. I love that much of their produce comes directly from Eastern Market, so you know everything is fresh. They also proudly display their breads, which come from Crust in Fenton. You can even purchase a loaf to take home, which I thought was such a wonderful touch. It's refreshing to see a locally owned, women-owned business supporting other local businesses. The homemade soups are outstanding. The chicken noodle soup was so delicious that I actually ordered a second serving--which is something I never do. The Italian sandwich is, without question, the best I've ever had. I especially appreciate that you can order it either grilled or cold, depending on your preference. The service is warm, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating. They happily work with reasonable dietary requests, which I always appreciate. The restaurant itself is spotless. I've dined in countless restaurants over the years, and I always notice cleanliness. I honestly couldn't find a speck of dust anywhere. One of the things that impressed me most was seeing the owners actively working alongside their staff. They're present, engaged, and willing to jump in wherever needed. My favorite saying is, "Teamwork makes the dream work," and Sisters Cafe is a perfect example of that philosophy in action. If you have room after your meal, don't skip the bakery case. The display of fresh baked goods is enough to make your mouth water. Next time, I'm definitely planning to save room because that Birthday Cake Muffin has my name written all over it. Everyone at Sisters Cafe seems genuinely happy to be there--whether they're working or enjoying a meal. The restaurant stays busy, and after eating there twice, it's easy to understand why. They've clearly discovered the secret ingredient to success: exceptional food, outstanding service, genuine hospitality, and a true commitment to supporting their local community. I can't wait to go back!

Very clean and inviting. Service was friendly, but not terribly attentive...like no one ever check…read moreon me after my my food was served. Food was good...they managed to properly cremate my eggs and bacon, but the hash browns were very bland and lackluster and everything could have been hotter.

Alexs Market & Grill has all my favorite goodies. The Fresh food in the market was amazing. The…read moredrinks are specialty and yummy. Anything you could want or need is right here. The staff are very polite and helpful. The market and grocery area is white glove clean. Plenty of parking spaces make this place an easy in and out as well. They have a restaurant area on the second floor if you need a meal after or before your shopping spree. I'm going to be back and hoping you'll give them an opportunity as well. You'll be glad you gave them your business.

Walking in was honestly a bit overstimulating--there's a lot going on right at the entrance with…read moreitems everywhere, which made it feel a little chaotic at first. We went upstairs to eat around 1 PM on a Thursday, so it wasn't particularly busy. Unfortunately, they had already "run out" of a few key items, including the Dubai Espresso Martini and bone-in wings. That was confusing, especially considering there's a grocery store downstairs--it didn't quite add up and was disappointing. The service itself was great. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, but she didn't seem very familiar with the menu and couldn't offer recommendations, which would have helped since it was our first time. As for the food: the boom boom shrimp and lamb sliders were both good and definitely the highlights. However, the fish tacos were extremely salty--so much so that I couldn't finish them. Overall, the vibe is cool and I'd consider coming back for drinks, but based on this experience, I don't think I'd return for the food. We do appreciate the free dessert, I'm just still hungry

Really great time with a large group! Food was okay and the drinks were really good!…read more For our large group, we had the private vault room to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was really nice to be sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant and it was pretty cool to sit inside of this vault. Our server was great! He kept coming by cracking jokes and making sure that we had enough to drink. The Tilefish dish I had was okay. It was on special that night and I was expecting it to be some big showing for the market price it was listed at. The piece was pretty small, rice was mushy, and the sauce had no flavor to it really. The fish was great though, so the main part of the dish was great at least! I had multiple cocktails, one being an espresso martini which was excellent! Overall a great place though. Be careful walking to the bathroom though, that glass floor where people dining below you can look up at you is pretty bizarre.

You can have dinner inside the room that used to be the vault. In the downstairs bathroom, the wall is safety deposit boxes. The upstairs is beautiful and light. The downstairs has a bit of a dungeon vibe and the table we had there was like a picnic table with benches I stead of chairs. The benches were uncomfortable and everyone's purses kept falling off. The service was decent and our server was knowledgeable about the specials and menu in general. The food and drinks were hit or miss. The burgers, truffle fries, and oysters were a hit. The beet salad was bland. The espresso martini was pretty but did not impress, other drinks like the lemon drops were pretty good.
