The pride of Ishpeming!! This was the first place I tried potato sausage almost ten years ago and they are still bringing their best. I travel for work, and when in the UP, I look for local businesses and local flavors, Sherrie's is a place I look forward to every time I head north. The service is fast and inviting, and the food really brings me back. The biscuits and gravy were amazing and paired with a locally made potato sausage was a great way to get the day started. When in the area, on your way past the tourist traps, this joint will take good care of you. read more

Sherrie's Restaurant is a classic small-town diner that feels dependable in some areas but uneven in others, especially if you come in expecting a polished breakfast-and-lunch spot rather than a traditional local eatery. On the food side, the strength is clearly in the breakfast-style comfort items. Things like omelets, hash browns, and simple diner plates tend to come out hot and filling, with portions that lean generous rather than precise. The quality is solid but not highly refined, more focused on consistency and comfort than technique. Some plates feel better executed than others, but nothing really stands out as exceptional. Service is friendly and straightforward, but it can vary depending on how busy it is. When it is running smoothly, staff are attentive and quick with refills and check-ins. During busier periods, though, the pacing slows and things feel a bit stretched, especially with table timing and order flow. The ambiance is very much old-school diner. It is casual, bright, and functional, with a lived-in feel that matches the style of food. It is not trying to be modern or trendy, and that actually works in its favor. It feels like a place built for regulars, early mornings, and quick, familiar meals rather than long dining experiences. Overall, this is a dependable diner with strong comfort food fundamentals, friendly enough service, and an atmosphere that fits its identity, even if consistency can vary depending on timing and crowd. read more

We were looking for a good diner for breakfast while staying in Marquette - and decided Sherrie's 2 towns away. It was worth the drive. Busy place packed with people on a Sunday morning who seemed to all be locals. The service was fast and attentive. The French Toast and strawberry pancakes were delicious as was the Western Omelette. The Biscuits and gravy were loaded with big chunks of sausage and had a spicy kick to them. Only negative was the coffee was really weak. I tasted the creamer more than the coffee. But we would definitely come back when visiting NMU. Prices are much more reasonable than some of the breakfast places in downtown Marquette. Ambiance is low key and the waitresses seem to knock w everyone who walked in. read more

Stopped here on our way home from a family camp trip. Good dinner food with great service. The space was packed full of people when we got there on a Wednesday at 10am plenty of seating. Got some pasties for the road they were top 10 for us. The filling were tasty with round steak,potatoes, carrots, and rottabages the crust was the best ive had so far. read more

Friendly diner near downtown Ishpeming. Located behind a gym. Food was very reasonably priced. Food is what you would expect from a diner. Homemade pie made daily. Unfortunately, it's kept refrigerated so you don't enjoy the freshness as much as you would wish. read more

Sherrie's had been on our short list of places to try yet it still took us a while to get here. Suffice to say, it's well worth the wait... but don't put it off any longer! There's a shared parking lot outside the restaurant, so don't let a crowd scene dissuade you from stopping by. The restaurant is bigger inside than it looks from the outside. We were greeted warmly as we walked in and were seated immediately. Our server was very friendly and cheerful and she happily explained a few highlights on the menu. ASIDE: That Friday Fish Fry has got to be awesome; 'nuff said! Mind you, Smokin'Hubster makes great omelettes. His breakfasts are all good, but the omelettes are a step above. After visiting Sherrie's - and ordering omelettes - he's mentioned more than a few times that he wants to go back for more. He ordered the Farmer's Omelette and secretly wondered if he he should order a side of potatoes. When he 'fessed up on the way home, he admitted that the omelette was way bigger than he expected and he was pretty full as is. I, on the other hand, worried about finishing my Italian Omelette without additional sides. Cudighi is a local treasure and the folks that do it well tend to do it generously. In fact, this might be my favorite way to enjoy cudighi! Too often the bread makes or breaks the sammich, but an omelette this good is a way better showcase of flavors. Super melt-y cheese, lots of 'shrooms and just the right tough of sauce; balanced without being sloppy. The miracle of the toast is still discussed today. Both the Hubster and I are rye toast fiends and when we learned that the bread is made on-site... done and done. It really made a perfect accompaniment to the omelettes. Flavorful without a bulky chew, so it toasts perfectly and melts in your mouth. If I was a toast snob - and I might be - this would be in the top three of the Best Toast List. It's that good! read more

Food was cheap which was really nice, but nothing special. Popcorn chicken was good, but fries were a little soggy. My boyfriend liked his meal but nothing to write home about unfortunately. Waitress was really kind and food came out fast. Inside was a little loud, but not too terrible. If you're looking for a cheap place to eat this is the spot! read more

DO NOT eat at this place! it took almost 3 hours to get my food, I politely asked them wrap it "to go" the staff started giving me dirty looks, and the waitress demanded a tip and followed me outside, just to harass me and say negative comments never got a refund for the way I was treated and I'm really disappointed read more

Great food, great service, and the restaurant looks great and there's so much stuff to choose from

Great food, good prices, friendly servers. Like home cooking, but better. I highly recommend the 4 piece crispy chicken mashed potatoes soup, and even vegetables read more

Ive been here for 80 minutes, or an hour and 20 minutes, and I've spoken to my server three times total. Multiple tables have walked out. For all four of my friends AND myself, the food was either cold, bad, or just wrong. How does that happen?? With as small of a dining room as they have, how you'd think they'd be able to fill and empty the room ten times in a morning but the same groups have been sitting here for the past hour. Tables are starting to get up, we will probably be doing same if the fixed up orders for my friends take as long. Update: they did take forever and we left. That's ridiculous. 2 cooks, one server, and one trainee on staff with 42 guests. No restaurant has a guest to trained server ratio like that. This place clearly has people wanting to give it business, it's just failing to actually do anything with those folks. We will not be coming back. read more

August 4 2025. After bringing drinks to our table our waitress ignored us for 25 minutes. We were about to walk out when I decided to go to the register and let the other waitress know we were being ignored. My wife was getting low blood sugar and I was getting angry as two other guests were seated and and received their food before she even took our order. I rarely get irritable about service but this was inexcusable. We felt like we were being snubbed. read more

My kinda restaurant for breakfast. The potato sausage is really good. And the icing on the cake was a fabulous server.

I didn't have anything that was homemade so the food was only average. It was hot, prepared correctly and tasted like one would expect. It was nothing special and the roll was a little dry. Service was outstanding- fast, friendly and efficient. Our server checked on us but didn't hover or forget about us. Definitely has the mom and pop restaurant vibe going on which I really liked, but it wasn't as homey as it could have been. Parking is easy and it is located just off the highway, far enough to dampen the traffic noise but close enough to make it convenient to stop when you're on the move. Definitely worth the visit, I'd like to try something homemade; I should've thought about that when I was ordering. read more

4/21/25 went into sherries and sat down the waitress brought us our menu and drinks she did several things passing us several times I finally had to ask her if she was going to take our order, she took or order when our order the food was way over cooked, the waitress blamed it all on a new cook. people around us were also complaining about the food. we have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed until now but it was bad enough that we won't be returning. sherrie will lose a lot of business if this continue and she has a good business read more

Extensive menu. Excellent food. Potato sausage with sides was delicious, but I had to ask for a doggy bag; I wasn't about to waste any of it. I also had a pizza burger, which I also enjoyed one day --an item I haven't found elsewhere on a menu. Try their pies, also! Everyone is really friendly and the local people frequent the restaurant, so there is a lot of conversations going on at times. I'm going to try their turkey dinner next; I heard it sells out early. read more

Great friendly service - Large portions - Delicious - We stopped in for breakfast - Cozy regional ambiance - Will return

Great meal! They were very busy when we arrived and we grabbed the last table. The server was very attentive while we waited. The Boston cod baskets arrived piping hot and the strawberry cream pie was tasty. read more

Stopped here on a trip down memory lane with friends who had been stationed at the air force base in the 70's. Saw the sign and pulled in. Tiny friendly place! Had grilled ham and cheese, grilled bacon and cheese, and the Ruben. Also split pea and ham soup and beef vegetable soup. All was excellent! Little local diner, with nice people and good food. Don't be afraid to stop! It was great! read more

Best diner breakfast food I've ever had. Good service, great atmosphere. Cool to find spots like this

When busy the restaurant is loud, but the food and service is excellent. In particular is their breakfast sausage gravy!!! The food has that old fashion quality and quantity not found in most restaurants these days. The good nature of the owners and all those who work there can be found on the back of the shirts worn by the staff; "Order what you want - Eat what you get!" Indeed, we will. read more

I love going there to have Breakfast on Sundays, Dinners on a random night, and just basically anytime I am hungry and want a good meal! The Pies too! Definitely check out the Pies! read more

Excellent food & Service. Highly recommend for breakfast. Staff was friendly & attentive. Food was high quality

I stopped in while on a sales trip. Yelp reviews were overall positive, and I figured what the heck, it's just breakfast anyway. Sherri's is a local's joint, but not the kind of local's local joint where the record stops when you walk through the door. Friendly faces greet you with a warm smile. A slight din is ever present, as I'm almost certain the entire town comes to Sherri's for breakfast, talking about the weather, news, last night's game; whatever. The menu was full of the standard diner-delights, eggs, pancakes, burgers, sandwiches, but I happened across something called "potato sausage;" an apparent local favorite. So that's what I ordered. It's basically ground up potatoes with spices and stuffed into a sausage casing. It was really good. The texture was strange at first, but the rest was absolute deliciousness! Sherri's is clean, friendly, with a full diner menu. I'm sure there is something for everyone there. If you happen to be traveling across Michigan's UP, and are looking for a place to stop, Sherri's is a great option. read more

I love coming here on fridays for dinner, their chicken tenders are tasty! The restrooms are a bit dirty, but who cares? It's still an amazing restaurant. This one gets 5 stars. Thanks for reading my review, have a great day! read more

Ok gave it 3 stars so far for this place because I have to make another visit! 1st impression, it's an older style diner based on appearance outside and in. Waitstaff deserve 4 stars or more for I felt very welcome and they were so pleasant to deal with! Malissa who waited on me was the cutest and sweetest person I've ever had the chance to meet and was very attentive to the customer needs and made the experience the best. The food did have flavor but slightly over cooked on liver and meatloaf texture was odd but taste good. The food did take awhile because the cook steamed over whelmed with the place 1/4 full, must have been phone in orders as well for he was really busy! It is worth the wait and cost is good. read more

Once again Yelp comes through. Was staying in Marquette and headed west - hit the App up and yum! Great breakfast- very friendly staff - try the link sausage. As people have said hash browns also very good. Perfect diner. read more

Very good breakfast here. Service is always on top of things. Prices are good too. Never had a bad meal or experience here.

Came recommended by our hostel. Crowded it was n everyone who gathered here knew others there. Speaks volumes about food, service, $, location. There were after church folk, travelers, bikers n hungry locals waiting for friends. Impressed. Omelettes (3 egg)were real good, cinnamon toast n coffee breakfast for under $20 (for2). Only complaint- it took awhile to get served but she did well to manage her tables. First come first served. read more

Order what you want, eat what you get. Locals only. Do not ruin my favorite diner. Nikki is a phenomenal server.

They don't know how to make anything bad they are very comparable to Andy's café and family inn in Escanaba Michigan they get a lot of business and I'm not shocked they're getting all my money now this month I'm in love seriously people read more

Stopped in for breakfast with my grandson and was impressed with the seating capacity and cleanliness of the place. My grandson ordered the steak and eggs while I ordered the corned beef and hash. Both were excellent as was the service. Looking around you could tell that there was a lot of locals eating there so that says a lot in itself.. read more

Local small town hot spot. Known mostly for breakfast so it's busy and know that walking in. If you're looking for a cozy diner-like atmosphere, relaxing w/a local newspaper, this is a great little spot while supporting a local small business. Great food, decent size portions at a fair price. I ordered the #3 breakfast (2 eggs, potatoes and polish sausage and chose their homemade white toast - which was amazing and I highly recommend. They also have farm fresh egg choices. Coffee is flowing & the kitchen and staff work their tails off. Enjoy! read more
