    a menu for the main street family restaurant

    PSA: On Sunday, September 25th, I ordered 36 pieces of broasted chicken from the Lamplighter Restaurant. When I picked up my order, I was charged $149.99! This equates to $4.17 per piece. I questioned the cashier and was informed this charge was correct. She said a 12 piece bucket is $16.99, but due to COVID there is a shortage and costs have increased. As a result, customers are limited to one bucket and are charged by the piece for orders greater than 12 pieces. This was NOT conveyed to me when I placed my order. I was not charged per piece after the first 12 pieces; I was charged per piece for the entire 36 piece order. The only solution the cashier offered was for me to return the chicken, which was already in my vehicle, for a full refund. Because we had a family event planned and everyone was waiting to eat, I felt I had to accept the charges. After dinner, I decided to discuss this with the manager. I was basically given the same story. I explained how this made no sense. At minimum, I should have been charged for the 12 piece bucket, which would have been $1.42 per piece then charged $4.17 per piece for the remaining 24 pieces. That would have at least saved me $33.00. In order to corroborate the Lamplighter Restaurant's reasoning/pricing, I decided to compare prices with Pigeon's Main Street Family Restaurant. They offer a 32 piece chicken bucket for $56. Drumsticks are $2 each; thighs $2.50 each. Based on Pigeon's prices, the most we would have spent is $66.00 vice the $150 for the SAME meal! We believe we must support our local businesses if we want to keep them in town, However, I am so disappointed in their price gouging and lack of effort to reasonably please their customers, my large family will never order from the Lamplighter again. We will drive the 15 miles to support Pigeon's Main Street Family Restaurant where they have been able to build a business model that allows them to have a profitable business while making their prices affordable for their customers.

    Great food, friendly service and great prices. Their stromboli's are to die for. It's an excellent place to sit down and have a nice meal.

    Awesome Pizza and great service. Very pet friendly. Great atmosphere. I wish we had this in…read moreKalamazoo MI.

    Every year about this time, we make the trek to Frankenmuth for a conference. Generally will eat…read morethe traditional fare here. But I passed by this beautiful building on my way into town. My Wife is a huge pizza fan. She could eat it every day. So I mentioned in passing that this might be a different type of setting. And it was indeed. Super clean. Red and black all the way through. We both ordered a beer and My Wife got a personal pan pizza. It was eight dollars with two dollars per topping. I ordered the Michigan chicken, cherry salad. We had got there around five and the place was steadily filling up as we sat. Mary, our waitress was very knowledgeable and kind. We felt fairly good about what we had ordered. But let me tell you once we got it, it blew our minds. My wife's pizza was outstanding. She said maybe the best she's ever had. I rolled my eyes and then she offered me a bite. And it was. Truly. A lot of times when you order pizza it's falling off of the crust. It's uneven. This was perfection. She couldn't believe it. Frankly neither could I. The crust was soft and you couldn't tell it from the toppings. No separation nothing falling off and cooked so well. My chicken cherry salad is a favorite in Michigan and they did it right. Each portion was great and more than enough for the both of us. We talked about it the rest of the night. If you have the chance, make sure you visit. It's one of a kind and one of the best experiences we have had for old favorites made new.
