Very nice and comfortable diner. The waitresses handled our large crowd with ease and smiles. I had the Crispy Chicken Salad. It was huge and enough for 2 people! Others tried their Buffalo Burger and were very pleased. Large portions. Do not skip their amazing pie slices. Still craving that peach pie! read more

We LOVE this place! Been on several occasions ALWAYS great service and great food! My husband loves the eggs Benedict's, only served Sunday. He says the hollandaise is one of the best he's ever had! I have tried several different things and the pecan waffle is one of my favorites! Whenever we make it to Miller Beach we always make a trip to Tate's! read more

I recommend Tate's. Family friendly, good food, great customer service. My family frequents often. Hope Chavez read more

I started going to Tate's for lunch back in 2016 when I was an Admin at Fegely MS. Our whole office would order from them. We moved to Portage during the Pandemic, which meant that I was closer to Tate's Place! They have always had great food and great service! I recommend the Portage Cheese Steak, The Portage Cheese Steak (substitute chicken), or the Turkey Bacon Ranch Wrap! They are always good! read more

My wife and I went for breakfast here this morning. They asked what we wanted to drink and when I responded with Diet Pepsi and a mountain dew both no ice she then looked at my wife and asked what she wanted to drink. this begs the question do they actually listen and or think. if it was a soda and juice or coffee I could understand but a suger free cola and a very high sugar citrus wouldn't even make sense and then assuming that my wife is the one that would need the sugar free. then I order my breakfast that came with eggs and I added hash browns with onions. I asked for my eggs over medium and even specified the whites full done with the yolk runny. I got hash browns that were very soft and barely warm and eggs that were cooked with a very hard yolk. when the waitress returned I asked for the eggs to be recooked how I ordered them and hash browns that were hot and cooked. I then watched what I assumed was the manager at the kitchen window dissect them with his fingers and become very defensive with a poor attitude that I would send them back. when the food came back the eggs WERE correct (they did a very good job on the second set of eggs) but my hash browns were mush like they poured oil on frozen potatoes and chopped onions then stuck them in the microwave (I was literally able to make mashed potatoes out of them with my fork) and the onions were raw and crunchy. If breakfast for two is almost $40 (2 eggs, 3 sausage links, 2 slices of French toast with a side of hash browns) and ( French toast and 3 sausage links) and 2 fountain drinks. I should not get better food at McDonald's at that price and a sit down restaurant. read more

It doesn't look like much when you see it from the outside, (we actually passed it first lol) but whoa! The staff is amazing, food was very delicious! Atmosphere was nice, not too loud & our drinks never went empty. When we're in the area again, we'll definitely be back! read more

The first time I've been to Tates place It was extremely nice place to bring my family from out of state to eat there. The food was great and the service was too. read more

Ok so it's been 5 years since the last time I was there and this place has grown in quality and the prep of food is great. I ordered breakfast to go. Denver omelet which comes with toast and hash browns. I have had my fair share of to-go orders since covid and their togo was simple and perfect. But by the time I got home, it tasted amazing! Most companies haven't adopted new togo procedures the place travels well. Highly recommended for everything, especially Togo orders! read more

The food is great! Atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff, super friendly! A great place to start off your first meal of the day!

Today was my first time going here. It will also be my last. I ordered a chef salad, with ranch dressing. My friend ordered sweet potato fries with a side of ranch dressing. First of all the salad was $11.99, and that was with one meat on it. If I wanted more meat I would have to pay for a deluxe salad. I've never seen that before. If it's a chef salad it has a multiple types of meat. I asked for shredded cheese, they gave me big, thick strips of cheddar cheese on top. The ham was also wide long strips, and was incredibly salty. The salad was basically a bowl of lettuce with the ham a hard-boiled egg a couple of cherry tomatoes and a couple slices of cucumber. But the real spoiler came with the first bite. I knew something was off. The dressing tasted like miracle whip not ranch dressing. My friend who also had ranch dressing said the same thing. I thought about sending it back and getting another salad with a different kind of dressing, but I didn't have time to wait for another salad to be made. I ate about a quarter of the salad, and I just couldn't tolerate the taste. Miracle whip does not belong on a salad. There's also the fact that I'm a diabetic, and I chose ranch dressing because it's low carb. What I got was miracle whip; probably, maybe? I don't know. So I don't really know what that's going to do to my sugar. When the server came back she asked me if I wanted a take out box and I said no. She said "are you finished"?, and I said yes. She didn't even ask if something was wrong, which seemed odd given that I had only eaten about a quarter of my salad that I paid $13 for. I told her about the dressing, and she insisted it was hidden valley ranch dressing. My friend and I both disagreed vehemently, saying we knew what hidden valley ranch dressing tasted like. Hidden valley ranch dressing tastes vastly different from miracle whip. Miracle whip or generic miracle whip, has a vinegar taste. It also has about 4 g of added sugar. So my friend and I were both displeased with our meals because she got the sweet potato fries to go with the ranch dressing and she couldn't finish hers either because of the ranch dressing. When check came, nothing had been taken off. Apologies were made. The server speculated that perhaps they ran out of hidden valley ranch and made their own. I disagreed as did my friend. That was not an attempt at ranch dressing. That was something very different than ranch dressing. The fact that, with both people being dissatisfied with their food, nothing was taken off the check, not even a discount. Just nothing. That just rubbed me the wrong way. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I'll just add Tates place to my, "Don't go back" list. read more

Great food and service. Comfortable environment for family gatherings. I like that they serve breakfast all day.

Great local spot with a huge menu. Service was great, and food was brought out fast. Some very good omelette, scramble and pancake selections. Large parking lot and plenty of inside seating + a counter area. Definitely a Go To. read more

Twissacado anytime of day, yes please, also their biscuits and Gravy are delicious and home style! Can't go wrong with any of their skillets either. Great coffee too, service is always warm and friendly and food is always prepared fast! Great little place to support in the community. read more

Honestly been driving by this place for the past few months, mistook it for a church. After discovering that it wasn't came in for breakfast. This is also an entrance to the Dunes trail; you can walk off your meal after (no excuses). I was Very satisfied, good service, Olivia was so nice attentive and dead on. They have an interesting menu, consumed the Mexico omelette for breakfast, with the raisin walnut bread (yum), a mild cup of coffee (no jitters), and them Fries. I'll be back to try the Bison burger. read more

Service and food were good. This place has a very "vacation" feel, when you sit down and enjoy, but also a "throw on a hat and go" vibe. Will be back and this may turn into our local joint. read more

Terrific! Great service, good food, and very efficient. Great for when you are really hungry in the morning! read more

Okay, this may be a bit late considering that my friends and I went here in early July. BUT, it was so worth it. The restaurant had less than an hour to close, but the food was hot, delicious, and quick. I got an omelet with hash browns, if I remember correctly. Their bread also tasted delicious. I was very happy with the portion sizes since I was STARVING as well. Highly recommend! read more

When we moved to Portage, Tate's was recommended by a neighbor. My husband loves breakfast skillets; he says Tate's has the best. I have liked everything I've ordered. read more

Tate's is cool. Not the cookie-cutter corporate dine-n-dash. Sit and enjoy the open ambiance, inside by the fireplace, or outside on the deck. Not elegant, but, simple & comfy. Like the food. The Food: Good selection of standard breakfast & lunch fare. Healthy selections, like fresh fruit, oatmeal, etc. Or tasty & filling, like hefty burgers & crosscut fries. Have a look at the baked items--Cakes & Pies! Mmmm. The Setting: think--busy, but intimate Ski Chalet. Deck seating in warm weather. Under big trees, next to the bike/hike trail. J u s t far enough away from the busy street. The staff: have always been nice, friendly, efficient. Prices: Fair enough. Stop here and try the Chocolate Chip Pancakes. What do you have to lose? *mra* read more

We walked for breakfast and were seated right away and our server was though almost instantaneously she took our drink order and was back in a flash with our coffees and chocolate milk best breakfast place I've been to in such a long time.

I would give ZERO stars if I could. Don't sit on the patio unless you LIKE to be IGNORED. And then when you tell then you're not happy the waitress gets in your face. LITERALLY. I'm not quite sure HOW they stay in business. The food is nothing special. read more

Worst take out experience ever! I was given someone else's order and after telling them I am sure it wasnt mine they assured me it was. I checked it in the car and it def wasn't mine. I took it back in and watched it handed to another customer! Finally my food was brought and set on counter w/o telling me. I grabbed the bag and had to check if it were my order!! The bacon was burnt, they gave me 1 biscuit for biscuits and gravy, and the food was cold. This is the first time having a bad experience like this at this restaurant. Hopefully management can tweak schedules to assure this doesn't become the norm!! read more

I've been to Tate's probably 4 times but not by choice. I've ordered an omelette each time and each time it was terrible. It was a flat not fluffy egg with hardly any cheese. Soggy vegetables in middle. No flavor. UGH! read more

Good food just take forever to get a table. Friendly staff. Parking lot is packed every time I go.

To preface, I am from the south. This place is easily the best restaurant I have tried since living in the Chicago/Indiana area for the last 7 months. Fantastic food every time and very reminiscent of the flavorful southern home-cooking I am accustomed to. read more

Local establishments claim that they're hurting for business but this place actually refuses business. They must have a millionaire for an owner or they doesn't care if they have to lay off people & close. I was trying to give an order to a local establishment as opposed to a large chain. Uber eats offered this place for delivery. I did a whole order of $140. It took Tater's Place an hour to cancel my order and say they don't do Uber eats. And then when I called they were really rude and hung up on me. And the owner wouldn't come to the phone. So I would stay away from this place because they don't care about getting business nor about customers. We were trying to order food because our cousin's daughter is dying on hospice in the living room and they couldn't bother to let us know so now no one has food. Horror show. read more

Came here with family its their neighborhood spot. I ordered the chicken parm sandwich my wife ordered the chipotle beef panini. Service was good, staff is friendly, food was just ok.
