It was a great place to stop in and have breakfast. My girlfriend and her family had been here before and wanted to go again. The staff were friendly and engaging the moment we walked into the door. It was def a home style feel to the building and interior. I will say a bit outdated but sometimes those are the gems you don't know you are missing. The food was served quickly after ordering, around 10 minutes. It was fresh, hot and delicious. Couldn't have asked for a better breakfast for the value as well! read more

Step Inn Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cheboygan, Michigan

Such a cute small town restaurant. A great breakfast and lunch menu, servers that were friendly and communicative and attentive. My husband ordered a burger and said it was one of his favorites, and the homemade chips that came with it were fantastic. I ordered a hot beef and mashed potatoes and the homemade bread it was served on was fantastic. The potatoes and gravy were great. The meat was a bit dry, but the gravy helped. We would definitely come again when we are in town. read more

Awesome food and service. Great homemade bread. The best ! I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast.

Great service and really good food that got to the table quickly. Kelsey our waitress was amazing, really great experience!

They make their own bread which tastes amazing. The breakfast is your standard fair but is prepared perfectly. The service was excellent and very friendly. Only place to go for breakfast in Cheboygan. read more

Seems like a newer family owned restaurant, could have some improvements to make it better but it's a nice simple place to grab a quick bite, nothing fancy!! We had a short stack of pancakes (2) and the breakfast wrap with bacon! All the bread products were incredible, the pancakes were very fluffy and the toast was buttery and delicious! We also got the biscuits & gravy and we could've gotten just one, the order of two was huge!!! Delicious food & coffee, fast service, ended up being more expensive than I had expected but we're in a tourist town so I don't blame them for raising the prices a bit! read more

Step Inn Restaurant - Carne Asada with fresh avocado and home made salsa - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cheboygan, Michigan

Authentic San Diego Style Mexican Restaurant (Yes there is a difference;). Great Carne Asada Fries and tastes like I'm back at Robertos in Chula Vista 10 years ago before the next generation took it over. If your new to the Mexican food game just go ahead and try that California Burrito, or any of the breakfast burritos , or the tacos, or just order the whole menu, you won't be disappointed. I believe they are open Thursday through Sunday. Service was good and the ambiance is becoming more integrated with the current restaurant style. Great food, awesome people, and a great place to go right before a day at the farmers market or downtown shopping. This used to be a breakfast restaurant so earlier reviews will be of the past business..... read more

Step Inn Restaurant - Menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cheboygan, Michigan

Ordered the grilled cheese with fries and BLT with house made chips. Daughter ordered the grilled cheese and said it was very good. Fries were good- as expected. The BLT took me back to my childhood and was on the money. House made chips were off the chain delicious. Prices were fair. Recommend! read more

A solid breakfast to kick-off the day. Pricing is fair for what you get. And, they have Franks red-hot sauce for the hash browns .

We drove up and saw for sale in the window, so kept driving down Main St. We are glad we circled back to find someplace else because they are open!! We had a great breakfast. I had the biscuits and gravy. Up North they definitely know how to make B & G!! My husband had the Meaty Mess and by the look of his clean plate it rocked too! Very friendly, clean and good. Would recommend this restaurant. read more

Service was average, I was seated soon enough by the hostess but it took quite awhile for the server to approach me even though there were only about 4-5 tables filled at the time with 2 servers. He also did not check back after the food was served to see if I was satisfied or had any issues. I had a Reuben sandwich accompanied by their very own homemade "chips" which were good enough but the sandwich not so great. PROS: homemade bread, very tasty, the meat was fairly lean which I like, could have been distributed a little better instead of lumped up in one spot but what made the sandwich a bust was it was VERY soggy making it hard to eat, the bread just broke apart all over the place and it was MESSY when trying to eat. I don't know if they overdid the butter(?) when grilling or failed to drain the sauerkraut adequately (if at all), I ordered it without the 1,000 Island dressing so that was not the culprit. We all know it costs more to eat out these days, it would be nice to walk away thinking it was worthwhile. read more

Bar none the best burrito I've ever ate! Although Yelp hasn't caught up with the type of restaurant this is now. Same name but Tex Mex menu read more

Love the cute small town vibe and friendly service and amazing breakfast. Wonderful and consistent.

Very nice lady as a waiter and very attentive with keeping my coffee warm. The food is pretty standard or a little better than your basic diner. Got blueberry pancakes which had a nice crispy edge and are ... Very large portions for a short stack, but basically still just ... Blueberry pancakes The biscuit and gravy were a bummer. I love biscuits and gravy and the gravy was delicious but the biscuit was burned and hard which is just ... Too bad. Anyways nice little neighborhood joint with very nice staff but I can't say I see why it gets such high marks given the mediocre food read more

Best breakfast in town great people Fred and Lynn do a great job you never leave there hungry!

First time here, stopped to grab lunch on our way to St. Ignace. We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated by friendly staff. The waitress got our drink order and brought them within 1 min of being seated, then took our orders. The food came not even 10 mins later, hot and fresh and very yummy!!! Great place!!! read more

The Step Inn is what I would call an alternative to other breakfast spots in Cheboygan. While it offers a robust menu for both breakfast and lunch their speciality seems to be in making omelets - resulting in other selections on the menu playing second fiddle. Chicken and waffles comes with premade waffles and gravy - i'd stick to the omelets if you want a good breakfast. read more

Piping hot grilled chicken sandwich and yummy onion rings. Good and fast service. read more

Awesome place to eat!!!! Worth the drive from Mackinac City!!!! 12 of ate here and the food was awesome, service was great!!!!

The first time ever eating here and it will also be the last. Our waitress was Johnny on the spot with our drinks and orders. But the food is very basic and NONE of it is home cooked. I was hoping for a small little place for a good meal but instead got store bought food. None of it had any flavor and was very bland and tasted freezer burnt. read more

We come up every weekend and this place has the best food!! We sit at home thinking about The Step Inn everyday and count down the days till we head North..... read more

Thick cut bacon. Great toast, real eggs. I'm pretty picky when it comes to breakfast because it's so easy to cut corners. The breakfast here was good, came out fast, and the wait staff was courteous. The decor could use some updating but I was here for the food! read more

The breakfast here is delicious and the staff is attentive. Every time we visit Cheboygan we make a point of stopping in to the Step Inn. I recommend the meat lovers and the French toast. Not at the same time --- each plate here is more than filling! read more

A small town gem. All the classics made to prefection. 100% charming family owned fresh clean and fast. Yes

Didn't even get a chance to eat here but had to comment on how rude the lady that answers there phone was. Most of town was out of power been calling around and driving. Asked the Oh so pleasant lady if they were open. She let me know well us answering the phone is a good indication and if we want to eat they close at 2. Told us to get here now if we want to eat. Very condescending and rude. No thanks! Service sounds awful so we passed and chose something else. read more

Homemade bread is awesome. Great sandwiches, friendly quick service. Love the old Cheboygan photos all over. New to the area, when we were asking for information all were extremely nice and helpful. Took my parents for lunch, easy access for the old folks. Went back with the in laws, and always buy a loaf! read more
