Breakfast at Evergreen Inn…read more This morning, in the spirit of liberty and breakfast carbs, I ventured out to the Evergreen Inn to celebrate the Fourth with a fork. Their specials board boasted a short stack paired with a choice of meat--how could I resist? I threw in a couple of scrambled eggs to round things out and waited for the fireworks (on my plate, that is). The pancakes arrived looking like golden perfection--fluffy, inviting, ready to be drenched. Unfortunately, the syrup rations were a bit...conservative. I wouldn't say stingy, but let's just say I had to request two more cups to give those cakes the celebration they deserved. The eggs? Fine. Serviceable. I suspect they started life in a carton, already liquefied and waiting for their destiny. The sausages were decent, the chocolate milk was nostalgic in all the right ways, and the cutlery had clearly survived a few wars of its own. And the ketchup--oh, the ketchup. A bottle proudly labeled "Fancy" does not make it so. If someone brought that stuff to a backyard BBQ, I'd stage a condiment coup and return with a bottle of Heinz. Now, let's talk ambiance. The place is *kind of* clean--clean-adjacent, clean-curious, but not quite committed to the title. Still, nothing alarming, just...comfortably lived-in. What it lacked in polish, the staff made up for in personality. The lone waitress holding down the fort was kind, attentive, and clearly doing the job of three people. Any service slip-ups? Forgiven on the spot. The bill came in a little higher than anticipated, especially for a daily special. But with few breakfast contenders in the area, Evergreen Inn knows it has the home-field advantage--and it's charging rent. Still, the pancakes alone were worth the visit. Just bring your own syrup--and maybe your own ketchup, too.

Got the Pub Pulled Pork sandwich with it, and this also was a winner. Nicely smoked piggy with a creamy sauce, enough to be satisfying but not too big to eat with your hands, as I've run into a some BBQ outfits. That's actually not doing the customer a favor! I appreciated having some non-stachy side options and chose the red cabbage for mine. It was warm, tender-crisp with just a slight lemony tang. Seating is mostly picnic table style--you may well share yours with another party, but not to worry. This is a place likely to dispel any bad mood someone might have walked in with.

I've tried lots of their food- their brisket is delicious, the Jager Schnitzel is rich and tasty, and my current go-to is their picnic brats. The ambiance is great.

A Breakfast Buffet! Wow! I went back to the Big Boy in Cedar Springs after staying away for a long…read moretime, and guess what? It was way better this time. It felt like finding out Santa really DID bring you the good candy. The best part? They have a breakfast buffet. A real one! Those are super rare now, like spotting a reindeer in the wild. But Big Boy has it, and they keep it filled up with fresh food. The whole place looked cleaner too--nice floors, tidy tables, everything looking happy. On my first plate, I grabbed all the yummy classics: * Thick French toast with warm syrup (it tasted like a hug!) * A pancake with sweet cinnamon apples on top * Crispy bacon * Sausage links * Scrambled eggs The French toast was the star--golden and soft and perfect. The pancake was a little old, but the apples made it taste great anyway. The meats were tasty too, just not super hot. On my second plate, I went for the savory stuff: * Fried potatoes * More scrambled eggs * Polish sausage * More bacon and sausage * And then... SAUSAGE GRAVY ON TOP! (Yes, please!) The gravy was rich and peppery and made everything taste extra cozy. Some of the food was a little cool, though. And I saw a pan of cheesy hash browns that looked very burnt--like "left in the oven since last Christmas" burnt. The server was friendly and checked on me just enough--like a good elf who knows when you need more chocolate milk. All in all, this Big Boy is back to being a great place for a big, simple, happy breakfast. The buffet is fun, the place is cleaner, and the staff is kind. If they keep the food a little hotter and swap out old items faster, it'll be even better. If you love breakfast buffets, this one is worth a re-visit. Smiling's my favorite, and breakfast buffets might be my second favorite!

My step daughter ordered a cup of soup and was told that she could just grab it from the salad bar. Could see workers grabbing sides from salad bar for customers with no glove, or one gloving Food was adequate. I'm a big tipper but I couldn't justify my normal 30%, so I left a normal 20% in cash. Ambiance was 2010s pop with a Roku that was playing old westerns that gave up halfway in between out meal and went to the Home Screen. Booths were well worn down and some were even duct tapped. Big boy is not known for being gourmet or even a nice place to eat, but definitely would not pass a health inspection. As someone who worked in the food service industry I was disappointed.

I ordered an extra slice b/c the menu said the eggs came with one homemade slice, vs 2 store-bought slices of toast. Holy moly, the toast was thick and delicious - I was *so* full after eating all of that! But a happy full :) I think they put margarine on the toast, which is a shame as it deserves butter. My husband got a grilled chicken sandwich, and said it was good. I was eyeballing the fried fish at other tables - it was all you could eat Friday Fish Fry. It looked absolutely delish, but I wasn't in the mood for fish. If we swing by this way again I'd definitely try it! It is a 'Christian' place, so if you're offended by religious quotes or images you may want to take a pass. It's not 'hit-you-over-the-head' religious, but some people may feel uncomfortable.
