    Great simple food. Quick and friendly service, not overpriced. Small-town diner vibes

    Maike's Bakery and Pizzeria - Outside

    Possibly the Most American meal I've ever eaten…read more A calzone, french fries, donuts, and coca cola. The donuts were done to perfection. The soft, almost flaky crust of the raspberry scones, the chewiness of the cinnamon rolls... The calzone bread was of similar quality. Perfect golden and tasty on the outside, soft chewy & salty on the inside. The loaves of bread on the counter made me wish they were located down the road from me. Some baker in this place really knows their stuff. Awesome place to visit if you're in the White Cloud area.

    We ended up trying this place after leaving another local pizza restaurant due to their long wait,…read morebut unfortunately, we probably should have stayed there. We ordered by phone and were told it would be about 45 minutes. We arrived a little early and waited inside, but the order ended up taking well over an hour. When the cashier went back to check, we could overhear that our pizzas had not even been started because of some kind of mix-up. The cashier was friendly, and I am not sure whether they were short-staffed, but the delay was still frustrating. The cheese pizza was bland, and there was an excessive amount of flour or cornmeal on the bottom of the cheese pizza. The meat lovers was definitely the better of the two and had plenty of flavor and toppings. It was a hit with everyone. The restaurant itself has the feel of a typical small-town dive bar or pizza place. It was fairly clean, the lighting was dark, and the restroom was clean. There are not many pizza options in the area, but overall, this experience was mediocre and disappointing. It appears that they also do coffee, pastries, and other baked goods during the day. There is a good amount of seating inside for dining-in. And there is a small parking lot in the back.

    Sally's Family Restaurant, also known as What Ta Pizza in White Cloud, MI., has NOT CLOSED. I…read morejust posted pics of my visit there on 4/20/17, showing the location OPEN on 103 N. Charles St. (off M-37). It's now been a week since I reported Sally's Family Restaurant as OPEN to Yelp, and they have done nothing but give me the runaround. Meanwhile, whenever my family and I are within 30 miles of Sally's Family Restaurant, this the place where we go to get really good food and friendly service. I first visited Sally's in 2016., My family told me they were taking me to a restaurant known for it's good, homestyle cooking. When we pulled into the parking lot, I wasn't sure what to think. It looked like a bar. Well, there is a bar, plus a lot more,... because Sally's Family Restaurant, What Ta Pizza, Carol's Ice Cream Corner, and Trail Town Tavern are all part of the same enterprise.. When we walked in, everyone in the room turned to see who walked in the door. It's kind of like the local Cheers of White Cloud. There's no way you will ever sneak in the front door. From a distance, we could not see the salad bar very well There was a small crowd gathered around it. Upon closer inspection, I was delightfully surprised. The ingredients were impeccably fresh. Furthermore, instead of just lettuce, toppings and dressing, there were a number of house-made creations made with care and attention to flavor (fresh chicken salad, broccoli and bacon salad, rotini pasta salad, coleslaw, red skin potato salad, tuna noodle salad, etc.. Not salty, overly sweet, or mushy. Unfortunately, I was not able to taste them all. Those I did taste were delicious. (see pics) In subsequent visits, the food has been consistent, and the wait staff friendly, The soups and in-house salads do vary, so there's always something new to try. The soups are delicious and house-made (see pics), including flavorful broth, lots of meat, vegetables and sometimes pasta. Definitly NOT from a can or over-salted. We've enjoyed a number of dishes.. steaks, chicken fried steak, burgers, etc. We have yet to have a bad meal there. The hash browns, which are usually so disappointing and anemic looking at other places, are always well browned on the outside and creamy in the middle. Today I ordered the 1/4 lb. olive burger, which comes with chips. However, all their burgers also come in a 1/2 pound size. And, if you wish, you can make it a basket where it comes with fries and coleslaw. Another family member ordered 1/4 lb. cheeseburger, and like myself, opted for the soup and salad bar,(see pics). Yet another opted for the Chicken Fried steak, which comes with country gravy, a choice of potato, green beans, warm Texas Toast, and dessert.(see pics) I've had it before. The steak always crispy and tender. I think one of the hallmarks of a good restaurant is their attention to detail. They use fresh green beans, not canned. While some other restaurants use fresh green beans, they usually turn out leathery, underdone, or mushy. However, the green beans here are always vibrant green and tender. They even brew their own root beer. In addition to meals, snacks and pizza, they're also known for their baked goods and desserts. Those who come for breakfast (served all day) find, big, cinnamon rolls made fresh in-house, as well as pumpkin bread. During strawberry season, they also serve big helpings of fresh strawberry shortcake. However, in addition to the house-made desserts, the restaurant is ALSO home to Carol's Ice Cream Corner. Today, for dessert, we all opted for a delicious chocolate ice cream mixed with Oreo Cookies and creamy fudge candy. DELISH! While we have not tried their pizza's... yet... other customers have, and they look great.. Bottom line, they have delicious food at an affordable price. The staff treats even strangers like family. That's why we're willing to drive the extra miles to go there.

    Sally's Restaurant is no longer in business and the building is for sale. We only ate there one…read moretime and that was one to many. The dining room alone was scary. I hate to think what the kitchen was like.
