My wife ordered a breakfast skillet with eggs, peppers, onions, ,sausage and hash browns. It came with toast, but she declined that because she is a relatively small eater. I have to say it looked great - and she thought it was very good (and she said she would order it again). I had the breakfast burrito with eggs, sausage, peppers, and onions. It came with an order of potatoes, and I ordered well-done hash browns. The burrito was great - especially after I ordered some salsa and sour cream to use with it. Eggs were fluffy, fillings were nicely "sweat" - onions and peppers were sautéed, but still had some crunch. Sausage was cut-up links - not expected, but they were good. I was worried about the hash browns because i read another review that said this place tended to use too much oil - but that was not the case at all. They were cooked perfectly for me - crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside - and weren't too oily (or too salty - yay!) at all. The coffee was not distinctive but it was good. I like very strong coffee, and this wasn't that - but it was not crazy weak either. Our server was wonderful - friendly, efficient, and fast. She had suggestions for us and came back several times during our meal to refill coffee and ask if we needed anything else. We'd be happy to have her wait on us any time. Finally, the ambiance - true diner. Nothing fancy, nothing bad. Clean, well organized, no issues at all. We sat in a small booth, and it was plenty comfortable. We'll be back! Good value for the portion size, and good quality food!

A Reliable Breakfast Classic in Grand Rapids New Beginnings…read moreRestaurant on Northland Drive remains a go-to spot for hearty, no-frills breakfast in the Grand Rapids area. This longstanding diner delivers classic American comfort food with generous portions, consistent quality, and a welcoming vibe that keeps locals coming back. The restaurant was packed to the gills during my recent visit, a clear sign of its popularity even on a typical morning. Despite the crowd, the place stayed impressively clean, with tables turning over efficiently and the dining area well-maintained. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to serve, as always--quick to refill drinks, check in, and make sure everything arrived just right. I started with a large chocolate milk (paired with a water back for balance) -- creamy, rich, and perfectly chilled. For the main meal, I opted for bacon and eggs with extra-crispy hash browns and wheat toast. The eggs came dippy (over-easy), ideal for sopping up on the toast. The hash browns were golden, crispy-edged, and generously portioned, topped with a dollop of ketchup for that classic touch. The bacon arrived extra crispy, perfectly rendered with that satisfying crunch, laid over slices of toasted wheat bread. Everything was hot, flavorful, and executed just as requested. I skipped the side of sausage gravy this time to focus on the eggs and toast combo, but the simplicity worked beautifully. To cap it off, I finished my breakfast with an extra decadent piece of toast by combining both strawberry jam and grape Concord jelly onto my last triangle -- a sweet, nostalgic finale that hit the spot. One quirky highlight: I saw Jesus in the sugar bowl (the little figurine condiment caddy added a fun, homey touch to the table setup, complete with the salt, pepper, and ketchup nearby). Overall, the food was fantastic -- fresh, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a breakfast diner. Prices remain reasonable for the portion sizes, making it a great value in a city with plenty of options. Service and cleanliness hold steady even under pressure, which speaks to good management. As always, I recommend this place for anyone craving a solid, reliable breakfast. It would be splendid if they opened a location in the Cedar Springs, Michigan area -- it would be a welcome addition up north!

Breakfast Adventure at The Peppermill Grill in Rockford, MI…read more The Peppermill Grill is a little diner hidden deep in a quiet Rockford neighborhood. If you didn't have Google Maps, you'd probably drive right past it. I finally found it on a cool morning, and when I walked in around 9:15, the place was calm and cozy. Only a few tables were taken, and the locals were chatting over coffee like old friends. The staff was amazing. Everyone was friendly, fast, and made me feel welcome right away. The diner was very clean and had that classic old‑school charm that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. Then came the main event: the All‑American Breakfast with American fries and a "large" chocolate milk. Here's how it all went: * The Chocolate Milk It tasted great--nice and chocolatey--but the "large" size was just a regular glass. I could've easily finished two. * The Eggs Two sunny‑side‑up eggs, cooked just right. They were runny and delicious. Still, I kind of wished there were three. * The Ham They gave me a big piece of ham, so the portion was great. But the flavor was pretty mild. It needed a little more seasoning or smokiness to stand out. * The American Fries These chunky potatoes looked good, but some were undercooked and none had seasoning. They really needed salt, pepper, or something extra to wake them up. * The Toast The wheat toast was buttery and fine, but not very crispy. More like warm bread than real toast. There were a few bright spots, though. The ketchup was top‑notch (pretty sure it was Heinz), and I loved the fancy salt and pepper grinders on the table so I could season things myself. In photos, the plate looks awesome--especially that giant piece of ham--but the taste didn't fully match the picture. The service and the cozy vibe were great, but the food didn't quite hit the mark for me. If you live nearby or want a simple diner breakfast with friendly people, The Peppermill Grill is worth a try. But if you're visiting from out of town, it's just okay. The people are wonderful, but the food needs a little more flavor to make the trip feel special.
