Standard breakfast joint in a convenient plaza with plenty of parking. It's giving classic, divey, neighborhood vibes. Service was quick and attentive. Although it was noted that another server was wearing what could be an offensive tshirt and I was glad she was not our server. The food was fine. Everything was served hot and then portions sufficient. The skillet could have used ground sausage instead of cut-up links and both orders of potatoes could be seasoned but we handled that with salt and pepper and hot sauce. The coffee was hot but not the best tasting. Basic spot for basic buds. read more

Fresh food and all importantly always fresh coffee, and relatively inexpensive in this day and age. Breakfast always good and coneys are very good also. Service is MUCH improved they get to you quickly and the wait time has improved since Covid and pre Covid times. Tables and counter service, lots of windows gives it a sunny feel despite the weather conditions. Great food at a great value. read more

I love this place! I had a cheese omelette with coney sauce on the side and hashbrowns. Excellent. They were busy but I had great service from my server Kyle. He checked back to make sure my coffee was topped off a couple times. It's a busy diner with what seems to be a lot of regular customers. I will be back to try the coney dogs! read more

Restaurant was busy when I arrived. We were not greeted or acknowledged for a few minutes. My group decided to sit down at a clean table because no one was helping us. Once we sat down, waitresses ignored us for over 10 minutes. After a while, they finally brought us menus... but not enough for every person at the table. After asking for another menu we were never brought it. We also didn't get the correct number of silverware. The food tasted good. The gyro came with very little taziki sauce and we asked for another side of it. It never came... I could tell our waitress was new. She was overall kind. But the service from everyone else... including her was very poor. I would not recommend this place if you're looking for a lighthearted enjoyable brunch. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday morning. The staff was very friendly, and the food came out really quickly! Everything was great! The only thing I would change is for them to offer more gluten-free options. read more

The food was ok. Nothing special, way overpriced. The service seemed to be good at first but then went to non-existent. The waitress seemed to be either trying to rush us out of the restaurant or as soon as she laid the bill on our table she was done with us. We weren't there lingering, or for a long time, and the place was mostly empty. But, after the meal we sat and hung out for about 30 minutes, the entire time I waved, spoke up, etc., but could not get our waitress, or any waitress for that matter to acknowledge. I just wanted a refill on my coffee that I paid for. Not worth it at all. The food was bland, bad service, and high prices. Too many similar options in the area that are far better! read more

Classic diner atmosphere, great food. Gyro meat was perfect AND attentive server gave us heaps of coffee

The quintessential coney grill. Here breakfast is done right, it's done fast, it's gone good, and it's done with a smile. Hot coffee, fresh eggs, crisp bacon... you get it all with excellent service. read more

I ordered the American omelette. It was over cooked and rubbery. Generous amount of bacon on the BLT and what seemed like infinite fries. Gyro skillet was excellent. Service was fine and it reminds me of somewhere I'd go with my family after church on Sunday. read more

I suggest dining in and not ordering take out , I called and made a order for a skillet and asked for medium well eggs... normal right ? I guess not, she said we have scrambled , over medium, and hard . Like I didn't know what I was talking about.. lol didn't feel explaining so just settled for over medium. Also asked for grilled sourdough and she responded with okay sourdough.. when I got my food it was just toasted sourdough and NOT grilled .. so maybe it's just better to dine in . read more

Literally the worst service I have ever received. I am not exaggerating when I say that it took us 10 minutes to even get a menu and over a half hour to get our breakfast. We had to flag down another waitress to get water and coffee refills, which was a chore in itself. Once we got our food, the waitress didn't check back with us to see how things tasted or if we needed anything else. We asked a question about the food the waitress was supposed to ask of the kitchen. We were wholly unsurprised when that question went completely unanswered. My food was fine, but my friend's eggs were overcooked (we're talking brown scrambled eggs) and the toast only had a few splotches of butter on it. Honestly, I am not even sure what method they used to butter it, because it sure wasn't a knife. Throughout the entire experience, our mostly absent waitress was completely unapologetic. Either she couldn't tell she was doing a horrible job, or she just didn't care. read more

This is a nice deal for breakfast. The pancakes and potatoes are nicely prepared. The coffee is ok. The service is great I can tell it's family owned. A great breakfast choice read more

The food was very good but the service was terrible. It took 45 minutes for eggs and a burger. They said it was because the burger took longer. Seems like bs to me. I give the food a 4 out of 5 but the service gets a 2. So average out a 3. They couldn't handle a packed house and I might return if it was more empty. It looks like you need to sit at the counter to get good service. read more

T & D Coney Grill - Gyro and Eggs and a big delicious cheeseburger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Okemos, Michigan

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Great breakfast spot: T&D Omelette is exceptional, as are the hash browns.

Great food and service. The best breakfast/brunch in Okemos. 10/10 would recommend!!!

We've always enjoyed our meals here, typically breakfasts. Note new hours (since I don't know when) 7-3 Sun-Mon. How it is that I never ordered their Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I can't even explain. SO good. Jim and I usually split a big breakfast so we both get some of everything! He got the All-American (lots of breakfast meats and hash browns to share) and I ordered the 3 Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. These come drizzled with white icing :-) We are full and happy. Go here for yummy food. read more

T & D Coney Grill - Cinnamon Roll Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Okemos, Michigan

I've stopped in several times during their posted business hours and they've either been closed or turned me away. Their food and service (when available) was good in the past but the number of times the doors have been closed 30 minutes before their posted closing time leads me to write this. If it were a one-time thing, it would be one thing; repeatedly being turned away is no way to run a business. I'm done trying. read more

Stopped in this morning for breakfast and are so happy we did! The service was great - super friendly and very fast. Food was delicious and the portions were more than enough. My husband had the Mexican skillet and he really enjoyed the combination and the chili. I special ordered an omelet and it was just what I wanted! Tables are spread out and well spaced. We will definitely be back! read more

Definitely a bit of a letdown. Ordered the T&D skillet, asked to add a couple items to it... didn't happen.. & no jam for the toast My wife ordered an olive burger, it was lacking at best. As well as being quite under cooked. the fries tasted like the deep fryer grease was old. And to top it off I forgot to remind the staff about the soda that came with the meal. So that didn't happen either! Won't be back. read more

The breakfast here is ok. Staff is great. What bugs me is the toast has faux butter-oil squirted on it; my advice is order toast dry & ask for butter on the side. I don't order omelets anymore because they end up overcooked (maybe should sauté veggies first?). They are cooked on the griddle, instead of an omelet pan so its really just scrambled eggs. On the bright side, this is one of the very few mom & pop establishments in the Okemos area. Its worth a visit! read more

They always come through for us. Good food, good prices and prompt service. Don't know what else to say. Simple breakfast and lunch, it's the way to go. read more

Pros: It didn't make me sick. I dined with my favorite person. Cons: Odd layout, television playing, no abiance, my girlfriend's meal was messed up, awful, demented and lackluster french fries. My J&D hash/omlet was ok (it had spinach)! but just not a lot of love in the food. I'm also pretty sure my girlfriend's aftorementioned meal, a "veggie pita" arrived at the lady's table next to us, where she remarked, "There's no meat in this sandwich!" I'm pretty sure that then went into the kitchen and came right back based on the timing. The veggie pita was simply a regular pita minus the meat. The only veggies were shredded iceberg lettuce and onions, not grilled veggies or anything wonderful. :( read more

I have been here a few time because it is in my neighborhood & I'm an optimist. Went today after church with family & found enough things wrong that I cannot recommend this establishment. Despite a warm morning, the restaurant's air conditioning was not on (or not working) causing quite a discomforting atmosphere. While the food is good, the delivery of all the meals was spread out over 5 minutes or so. Toast was missing and syrup for the pancakes had to be requested. Coffee refills also had to be requested. With such service, even the tasty Greek Omelette will keep me from returning anytime soon. read more

My husband and I went here for a late lunch on a Thursday. My experience is compared to Spartan Coney Island in Frandor. Decor is by far better than that of Sparty in Frandor. Could stand to be maintained better. Service was very friendly, but took a while to get things we needed. Food was good. The fries were awesome! Cooked perfectly. I got the olive burger. It's a frozen patty, but wasn't horrible. I wish they put more of the olive mayo topping on it. My husband got chili cheese fries and biscuit and gravy. The chili cheese fries were nothing spectacular. A LOT of chili and the cheese wiz was ok. The biscuit and gravy compared to Spartan Coney Island was by far better. It was nice and thick, had flavor to it, and nice chunks of sausage. My kids got grilled cheese which was fine, and chicken fingers which were over cooked. Barely had any meat. Over all it was a good experience and we will go back. read more

If there was a gourmet Coney Island this is it. Service and food is always great. By far one of our favorite places to go.

When you are hungry..... Needed to find a place for breakfast this morning, the coeds were all packing the usual spots in EL after the Spartan victory celebration over Michigan yesterday. Typical diner food, coffee was good, will go back again when in town. read more

I always love coney, so I was happy to give this a try while I was in town. This is actually for two visiits. The first visit was for breakfast after a long Friday night out with friends. Not all of us were in good shape. I was though so i was happy to eat. The omlettes are large and stuffed with goodies. I walked away stuffed and happy. The others in our group gave similar reviews. The second visit was for lunch. I never even opened the menu because our server informed us the special was two coney dogs and fries. It was cheap, I believe like six or seven dollars, not exactly sure. The coney sauce was good. The dogs were solid, and the fries were tasty. Overall a very good experience. read more

Contrary to other posts we had a very good experience at T&D. It got off to a slow start, we waited 5 min for menus and coffee. I was actually looking for somewhere else to go when the most delightful server came over. The receipt says her name is Kendall. Big smile, super friendly, we immediately liked her! She got us coffee and water right away and took our order as we knew what we wanted. We both had omelets that were just what you would expect. Good portion of hash browns came with it. Order came quickly and was just right. Ok, the butter on the toast looks like squeeze butter but it was good. I would definitely return for another Saturday breakfast. read more

Something I've noticed on Yelp! is that when an average place gets one or two stars, it's almost always from someone out of state--and I mean FAR from Michigan. Just an observation. This isn't splashy dining. It's a diner, in the old "Villegas" spot. Even has the same dining room furniture & decor. Villegas was expensive, high end dining (for the Lansing area anyway). This is the polar opposite. It's decent food--I've only had dinner here once, but I'll go back again. I had the gyro platter and a cup of tomato Florentine soup. It was tasty and worth the price. My husband had the fish platter (i.e., fish & chips)--also decent, not superb, but good. We shared a piece of turtle cheesecake. I think the soup and the cheesecake were from a vendor like GFS, but that's ok--for me, it's the taste that counts. The waitress was very friendly and service was quick (it was later and only a few people at the restaurant). I liked it. I'd like to try breakfast sometime. read more

I would honestly give this place an extremely disappointing rating. I have visited this place often but I do not visit because their food is excellent. I visit because I am a single man who enjoys visiting with one of their servers. This young man was always friendly, remembered what I ordered and would chat about my life, my family, daily life and sports. He knows my name and cared about me. I loved to watch him move around the restaurant and talk to all of the other elderly people and people who were alone. He was the best server hands down in the area. I will never go back there. The way they treated him is to their detriment. He brought them business. He brought joy to so many who have been so lonely . Especially during the pandemic. He was also the only one who respected us enough to be fully vaccinated. Very disappointed in how they treat their employees. I will do my duty to spread the word. Do not go here. read more

I got to this place at 12:45 and at 1:30 we still had not gotten our food. THIS IS A CONEY why is it taking 45 minutes to get food?? My mother and I left before the food got there because it literally was taking so long. NEVER going back there again do not go here. read more

Friends invited us to breakfast here and I was skeptical after reading most of the reviews, considering how they varied. It's a seat yourself kind of place. It was loud, so if you are hoping to have a quite breakfast, this isn't for you. I am pleased to say we all loved the food! The corn beef has omelet was the best. I liked the fact that there weren't many potatoes in it and the Swiss cheese was gooey. They serve large portions and very quick. Hubby loved the country skillet. The waffles are huge and have a sweet taste. About the only complaint I had was our waitress.....she only appeared once to our table after we ordered, dropping off the food. I did try to get her attention to tell her about a problem, but he were in the far back of the restaurant and she just didn't bother to come over. Had a problem with the hash browns but since she never returned, I just didn't eat them. If you order coffee, someone is always around topping it off....but I had soda, so I did not get a refill. Next time I will just plan ahead and ask for 2 sodas! ;-) I will say we do have plans on going back. read more

Fantastic food and that homey environment everyone likes to eat in! Great times I'm a regular now!

We came for a Saturday lunch at 2:30, the restaurant was cold.. we ate with our coats on. After we sat down and ordered we watched the next 8 tables come in and be turned away, the hostess informed each group that "sorry but we're closing at 3" I know late arrivals are a pain, but this isn't complex food. Our server stopped serving and started up the vacuum while the back of house came out to mop, all this while their open sign was lit in the window. Before 3. read more

First time here, ordered a omelette came with hash browns and toast. Was hoping to get homemade bread or American fries but they don't have either. If your hungry it's an okay, average place to stop. However my omelette was a little over done. read more

Arrived 40 minutes before closing. After 10 minutes there, they began mopping the floors, shutting the lights, etc to close. I ordered "fresh lake perch." I got most fried breading with a small quantity of some sort of white fish. It didn't taste fresh and it didn't taste like any perch I ever ate. I've had breakfast there before. It was better than the lousy "perch" dinner I had tonight. read more

Worst dining experience we've had in a long time. First time here and we will never return. There were 5 of us eating, two adults and three kids. Waitress waited 15 minutes to take our drink order. We were there at dinner and when we walked in, there were two other tables besides us. A gentleman walked in ten minutes after us and his drink order was taken before ours, as he sat down! At the 25 minute mark as we are ready to leave, our orders are taken. When the food got there, It was DISGUSTING. My bacon was clearly made earlier that morning, It was dry and crumbly. The waitress waited 7 minutes to bring the youngest at the table his food (he's 3 and by now crying) and when It was served It was so hot, It burned my husband's hands breaking It up into small bite size pieces. Took the waitress being asked twice for ketchup. She never asked how our food tasted. Probably knew It was garbage. My husband's olive burger was supposed to be cooked medium and was burned. Literally. The bun was soggy and flat like someone had pushed It flat with their hand. My sausage gravy literally tasted as if It had been too close to something that got sprayed with cleaner. I paid $42 for the absolute worst service, and worst food I've ever been served. read more
