Really good breakfast fare, good plain comfort food with daily specials. Usually a little crowded/ busy at normal meal times but always fast, happy service. Good sized menu! Would definitely stop in anytime if I was hungry. read more

Very poor service was told the cook didn't want to make my cheese sticks. Waitress was flighty. Spent 70 dollars never again McDonald's has better service. read more

Poppa's Place is a must have for us when we are home in Michigan. The servers there Kim and Carrie are like family and always love seeing them when we stop in. The food is always delicious and we tend to be creatures of habit and stick to our usuals. I always get the western omelette and hash browns with coney sauce. Yes, it may look and even sound questionable but it is soooo good. The hubs got the country scramble and enjoyed it as always. My mom got the short stack of blueberry pancakes and basted eggs. She said that the pancakes were some of the best she has had in a restaurant in a long time. The food and service here have always been excellent and wish we could pick up and move them down to the beach. lol read more

Standard breakfast offerings - nothing spectacular. Though the breakfast options in this area are pretty limited, I've still been here 7-8 times so that has to mean something. It always tastes like a home cooked meal. The servers are always very cordial and quick with service. The interior needs a deep clean - it seems pretty grimy inside, but the grease smell and fine layer of dust on the signs from the 1990's is part of the charm. read more

5 stars for Good home cookin' at a casual local diner. I had the eggs Benedict with bacon. When the it arrived, the dish looked perfect, and then I noticed the bacon was under the egg. I didn't read the menu carefully and thought bacon came on the side. I was assuming that that bacon would be soggy, but, the cooks know how to do it. The bacon was crisp and held up to the over easy yolks of the egg and the hollandaise sauce. Hubby had the hamburger and fries. The fries were delicious, crispy, crunchy, hot, and salty. The burger was good. It is a Mom and Pop place with very courteous and attentive servers. We will be back. read more

Great breakfast food especially the chicken fried steak loaded tator tots. The staff is great and makes you feel like a regular. Get there early, it's small and very popular and weekend mornings. read more

Simple, perfect. Stop here & support a small,family-owned business instead of going to Big Boy down the road. Huge selection on the menu. Server was sweet with a great sense of humor. Quick to keep coffee full and brought our food out right away. No frills, exactly what we needed. Cozy interior, just like going to gma & gpa's house, just as the name says. Highly recommend. :) read more

Real good food.If you like oatmeal try the baked oatmeal,we bring two home every time we go. Good service at a good price

Great breakfast spot. Local, quick, and tasty!! You can't find a better breakfast in Brooklyn!

This was a good place for a quick and filling breakfast. The country Benedict was delicious. The waitress was attentive and honest. One warning. Don't order the "house made" cinnamon roll. It's not made on site, and it's awful. The waitress admitted that they order them in, but I wasn't smart enough to take the hint. I thought they were brought in and baked in site based on the menu. Not even close. These clearly sit around and get reheated. Don't avoid the cafe, but definitely skip the roll. read more

Sadly, they've gone downhill in the past year, service is much better, but the prices have jumped out of their value for the restaurant. Went last week and received 75% potatoes in my skillet, no meat, one egg. Won't be returning, and I've been going here for 30 years. read more

Will surprises ever end? Who would expect such a great lunch of comfort foods for the five of us for under a hundred dollars! Simply delicious and well worth the trip! read more

I stopped in today after driving an hour and fifteen minutes away to try the you can eat fish diner. It was magnificent. My fish was hot and fresh and my Mac and cheese was delicious. My server was Mandy and she was friendly and kind. I wish this place was closer to me as I would be a regular. As it is now I live just south of Battle Creek so it was quite the drive. read more

Great food and great service. Omg I was looking for a place like this all week. Hard to believe places screw up breakfast but they do though this place was spot on. It was amazing and I really tried to eat all of this. Eggs cooked too order, French toast was perfect and the hash browns were cooked perfectly with great gravy. The only thing was the sourdough was burnt, should have asked for it on the grill but I didn't even get to it. Carrie the waitress was awesome. Thanks. read more

Poppa's Place - Poppas plate, I think - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, Michigan

Brooklyn doesn't have many restaurants. For the few that it has, most are not very good. If you're in Brooklyn, do yourself a favor and go to Poppa's Place. Now, this place isn't the classiest. I think it was converted into a restaurant from an old building and therefore the exterior looks a little strange. The interior is just plain tables and chairs, nothing fancy. However, the restaurant is clean and well taken care of. Poppa's had a huge menu and they just updated it the other day. There are burgers, sandwiches, salads, breakfast and appetizers and down-home type cooking. There is a board with specials every day including a board dedicated only to the pies and desserts currently served. The portions of the food are large and are inexpensive. The food is good and well prepared. If you're in the area and you're looking for a place to eat I suggest you check it out. read more

Just love this "hole in the wall". The food is as good as it gets for comfort food. Nothing fancy about the restaurant but the wait staff and again, the food, make it a great place. Cari is my favorite waitress, who always has a smile and works incredibly hard. If you are hungry- get the hungry boy breakfast and ask for the homemade hot sauce. Delicious! I've been there many many times and have never heard 1 complaint from anyone. read more

This review is for Take Out only. When calling in they always answer the phone promptly. They are supper friendly and make ordering supper easy. The food is good, you do need to double check the bag if you order extra chips & salsa, a couple of times I did not get it. Great place if you are looking for something to order that does not taste like fast food. read more

Been unable to stop in for years.Finally made it and it.Worth the trip from Jackson. Waitress was exceptional and breakfast was great.

Nice little diner with a good size menu. The prices are reasonable for what you get. I had the meatloaf meal with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. All were tasty. read more

There's a reason Poppa's Place gets great reviews on their comfort food! Our meals came out VERY quickly and were filling and delicious. I had the grilled chicken breasts with mashed potatoes and gravy and my husband had the meatloaf sandwich, also with mashed potatoes and gravy. Servers were gracious and (from observation) able to have fun with their customers. The restaurant is fairly small, but definitely worth the stop! read more

The food is very marginal. Their menu says they have the best pasty, anywhere; uh, not so much. It was pretty horrible. I've had various things off the menu there, never being all that satisfied with the quality of the food. My husband likes the food better than I do so that's why I've been there more than once. The service staff is always very friendly, though. read more

Came here with my girlies-- we needed food to keep us alive at Faster Horses. The service was GREAT, the server was a sweetheart and she put my order in exactly as ordered and the food was so yummy!!! Their homemade hot sauce is WONDERFUL, definitely try it. I got the Hillbilly Skillet and it was delightful. I highly recommend this place for all your breakfast needs read more

This was my first time here. It came highly recommended from a friend. Nice little place in Brooklyn. The seating area is small but clean. Staff was very attentive. They had several specials to offer at a very fair price. The menu included breakfast and dinner. There is plenty to choose from. If your looking for a good hometown place to eat this is it. Don't forget to grab some of their homemade dessert. read more

The absolute, hands down, best, biggest and most delicious breakfast in Brooklyn. The servers are friendly and never let your cup of coffee get half empty. I've been there twice and both times the service and food blew my mind. This is definitely the secret Brooklyn residents don't like to share. Before my fork could even dive into my chili and cheese omelet, I spent a good ten minutes admiring my buddy's breakfast concoction Poppa's Place calls the Hillbilly 'Taters. It's a blend of potatoes, cheese, green peppers, sausage and other breakfast related fare covered in a thick gravy. A half-order was still too much to finish in one sitting. And their omelets were just as big. Since I don't carry a ruler on me because for one, that would be odd and two, my pockets aren't deep enough, I had to measure the omelet via guesstimation. And I'm pretty sure it was like a foot long. I kid you not. To be frankly honest, Poppa's Place breakfasts make your grandma look like a culinary failure. I don't know if I can eat cereal anymore for breakfast after experiencing what I would consider the closest thing to breakfast food perfection. If you go to Poppa's Place and don't experience a foodgasm of the mouth than you probably have no taste buds. Here's the gist: come to Poppa's Place starving and by the time you'll leave, you'll feel like you won't need to eat for a week. read more

My family and I really enjoyed it here. I had the chopped/salsbury steak with green beans and mashed potatoes. Excellent! The green beans were fresh cooked and had bacon in it, just the way my grandmother made them. Very tasty. The whole meal was fresh and well presented. I don't remember what my husband had but he enjoyed it. My son loved the blueberry pancakes. Our server was kind and attentive. The place was clean. We were greeted when we walked in. This place is kind of like both a homey diner and a farmhouse dining room. They have vintage items around as decorations. We will definitely be back. read more
