Omelet at The Corner Cafe in Battle Creek, MI
Bruce K.

About as far from fancy as you can get but it's still clean. The Corner Cafe is clearly the spot for the locals. It's not close to much and it doesn't look like much from the outside, but I had a fine breakfast. Just a ham and cheese omelet, which was quite large we substituted sliced tomatoes for home fries since I'm still doing a keto diet. Inexpensive, local, big portion. I'm a fan!

Hamburger steak, scrambled eggs and hashbrowns.
Joe C.

Oh man... Huge portions and at a decent price. Very friendly service and the short order cook keeps cranking out the orders. Our drinks were always filled with the friendliest of staff. I had the hamburger steak with hashbrowns and 2 scrambled eggs. Everything was cooked as ordered and the hamburger steak was more than enough to fill me up Not sure yet if the pepper was free or not but the waitress came to me just before our food was delivered and asked if I wanted a pepper. I said sure and when my food was delivered my plate had a nice pablano pepper with it. Well done guys! I think the only thing missing here is some updated furniture and a credit card machine, have to pay in cash.

Huge half order of goulash and garlic bread. Yum!!

Excellent food...very well priced. Friendly staff. Good home cooking! Small inside but worth every minute if you have to wait. A must try.

Biscuits, sausage gravy, egg and hashbrowns
Aaron G.

This has been my favorite breakfast spot in Battle Creek for years and even though I moved away 25 years ago I still go back when I am in town. It is "just" a good old school diner like you used to find across the state. Lots of options on menu. My regular option is the biscuits and sausage gravy with an egg and hashbrowns. The biscuits are crumble and absorb the rich meaty gravy and Ted (owner) makes crisp hashbrowns on his flattop grill like none I have had anywhere. This is a local place with lots or regulars and the decor and exterior are nondescript. The prices are great and portions are large. They also do great lunch food and I still dream of the chili dogs even though it has probably been ten years.

Farmers omelette with sausage gravy added. He couldn't believe what was put in front of him.

I went there a few weeks ago when the wall was at Harbor Creek for the Vietnam veterans. We met up…read morewith my brother-in-law several other members of our family. And had lunch it was delicious. I had taco salad the best. I'm telling you it was really nice. So I want to go back another night for another taco salad it was horrible. I think the fact that they probably make it in the afternoon or morning and they let us sit all day and serve it in the evening and by then the lettuce has no crunch not much flavor at all. I was so disappointed. The service was good and yes, we tipped generously because we know it wasn't the waitress's fault. No, we didn't bring it to the attention of the waitress. We lived and learned go early in the day.

I've given them 5 stars a couple of times but couldn't do it this time. First, our waiter was not…read moregood. He spent more time in the kitchen and chatting with other staff. The loaded potato soup had good flavor but the celery was nearly raw. If you look at my previous posts I'm all for their soups. I also got the loaded spaghetti. It was dry and the sauce was way too tomato pastey. I would have sent it back but our waiter never came back until it was past time to get paid. Pretzel and beer cheese were good. My honey got the French onion burger which was very good but he got very few sweet potato fries to go with it.

Logistics. Downtown Battle Creek, along the Battle Creek River and on W Van Buren, between McCamly…read moreand 6 Mile. Vibe and First Impressions. It is an converted train station. We sat outside to enjoy the live jazz music. Jazzers were excellent and fun, playing a lot of classics. The audience was engaged, and the patio is huge. Hospitality. Service was friendly and accommodating. Offerings. Food and drinks were overall good. We had appetizer plate and scarfed it down. But we were too full to try desserts that seemed plentiful to pick. Of Note and Last Impressions. The loo was clean and stocked. We would come back mostly for the venue and the jazz. Nothing beats live music, dining outside, and relaxing near the river. Very cool. Would recommend.

Visited early Saturday evening for dinner…read more We had a table immediately however, the young ladies at the host stand were not professional. Passively greeted and sat us between their giggling chit chat. We were sat against the shut door that was pouring cold air. Of all the empty tables, why anyone is ever sat at that table in the winter, either doesn't care or isn't paying attention. The grime on the menus confirms the host stands needs to step up their attention to their work. The waitress was great. Very attentive. Made a mistake with a quick fix. Service could not have been better. She took our order and we scanned the room and decor. The cold draft was getting annoying but was quickly overshadowed by the group of men in the corner shouting and one kept frickin whistling in response to the raucous laughing and shouting. Where was management to ask them to tone it down a bit? Whistling! Like you're calling a dog in from the yard. Clearly he just wanted all eyes on him and their group. It was insanely inconsiderate because it went on for 20 mins. The 20 mins until they left. Idk if they were that loud before we arrived or what kicked up the volume. They weren't watching a game. They were sitting in a big circle like a group discussion. Anyway. The good was fine. Nothing special. The stuffed mushrooms came in a half moon dish on a plate with nothing on the side. It was strange but tasty enough. Salad was huge but I think they forgot the tomatoes and cucumbers. Homemade ranch really set it off. Reasonable prices and quick service. Glad to leave when we were done and warmup in the car.
