The service is super prompt. I highly recommend it for a nice breakfast brunch or lunch read more

Vicki's is not on "The Strip", but you better get here early for breakfast, because the place is always packed. That's because of the charming atmosphere, the friendly service and the delicious food. Vicki's may not be on the main drag, read more

Vicki's Family Diner - Eggs, Benedict - Diners Near Me - Douglas, Michigan

Being one of the only breakfast diners open in this area at the time we visited, I have to say that they handled it fairly well. However, I don't think they were ready for the quantity of people that would be coming there because the place across the street had closed for the day. It took us fairly long time to receive our breakfast after we had ordered. I got the regular breakfast. Two eggs. Two link sausage American fries. The American fries were pre-boiled and heated in a pan, no Browning was apparent. Obviously, they had to rush to make them. The place was as clean as it could be considering the rush, however, they were just wiping tables as people were walking in, it didn't seem like they had a bus boy that day. read more

What a charming little place. Located in a nondescript strip mall. Vicki's has a great menu, nice service and yummy food with generous portions. The wait was a little long, but I'll let that slide. I am an eggs Benedict girl. That is my go-to when I go out for breakfast. Theirs is served with delicious Nueske ham & a pool of hollandaise, which worked for me. Wish I had access to an oven at my hotel, because I could only eat half and sadly had to leave the rest! read more

Very good value for food Portions were good Service was good Ambiance was fair but similar to other breakfast restaurants read more

A cute diner in a strip mall. Went a little past morning rush and had no wait. Food was simple and good. I had the all-american breakfast with eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. Husband had the eggs Benedict, which he enjoyed. All was delicious. Only downside was the coffee, which was super weak and very watery. Three dreamers, my usual, and the coffee was white. Service was friendly and prompt. Would definitely go again. read more

We are vacationing here from TN. Stopped at this place, and I ordered Eggs Benedict. It came to me swimming in greasy gloppy hollandaise sauce. Like completely covered the plate. I just stared at it when she brought it to me. She knew something was wrong but her only concern was if I wanted hot sauce. I ordered apple juice, she brought me orange juice. Had to ask for a separate plate to scrape off most of the hollandaise sauce. I started to mention the problem, but she cut me off at large plate or small plate. Large plate or small plate. Very curt. We live out of state; we, of course, will never be back. read more

Food was good. However, the environment was terrible. They do not tolerate children very well. We were yelled at to get our children to settle down or we needed to leave. read more

Did take out from here on our final morning of in the area on vacation. It was good. Only did take out so can't say much else!

The most affordable breakfast in this over priced area. Coffee price includes all you can drink while there and a large To-Go cup if you need more caffeine when you leave. VERY friendly staff. read more

Great family breakfast spot. The food staff and decor were lovely. Best spot in town for some early morning food. We really enjoyed our stop! read more

We were not very impressed. The staff was friendly. The diner is in a strip mall. Appears many locals visit this establishment. My husband had a Belgium Waffle and I had a egg taco. The waffle did have strawberries. Disappeared it was a sauce with limp strawberries. The fruit was not fresh. It made the waffle soggy. My egg taco had sausage, hash browns, and a scrambled egg, placed on top of a soft taco. Served open face. This did not have much taste and the egg was cold. Not very appealing. read more

Nice breakfast experience at Vicki's. We got there early and beat the rush. Breakfast bagel, Mickey Mouse pancake and diner special were all very good. I'm a big eater and half the special was plenty. Vicki kept the coffee coming with a smile . It was nice to rub shoulders with the locals . Doesn't seem like many other places open until 8 or 9 So this was nice read more

The food was great. I had the eggs Benedict plate and more food than I could eat, and delicious. Wait staff very attentive even though it was very busy that morning. read more

Unassuming diner in a strip mall. Always a favorite stop on our way through. We were even able to park our truck and travel trailer in the lot on one of our visits. Food is good and plentiful. Service is good and the place is clean. read more

Food was good ! I was so excited for the eggs Benedict , it's not something you see in small towns . But unfortunately the hollandaise sauce was from a jug . As disappointing as it was , it was still very clean and would go back ! read more

Stoped in for breakfast while in town. This is your average strip mall diner/eatery. Waited about 20 minutes for a table which was appropriate for the amount of people waiting. Food was ok, nothing impressive. Service was fast and friendly. Everything was appropriately priced. Would be a decent place to grab a good portioned breakfast. read more

My partner and I came to the Saugatuck/Douglas area for a weekend trip. We were looking for breakfast places and this place was listed in the top rated places in the area closes to where we were staying. We decided to give it a try. I ordered the Crow's Nest (which is 2 eggs on top of hashbrowns with cheese, and either toast or pancakes. I picked pancakes.) I also ordered a side of corn beef hash. and my partner ordered the Eggs Benedict. The food was amazing and it felt like comfort food. The place was welcoming and cozy. I felt comfortable there. The service was good. Cost: Crows Nest is $5.29, Side of Cornbeef $2.79 Eggs Benedict $6.99. Amazing prices for all the food. Overall: I will give this place 5 stars. Great space and very inexpensive. If we are ever in the area again, we will be going back! read more

We were delighted to meet Vicki, and, yes, this is her family's restaurant. All the staff were welcoming and attentive. We felt like family. Our breakfast meals were well prepared and flavorful. My wife had the All American Breakfast. She loves American fries and was pleased that they were light and not greasy like so many other places. I had the Chorizo Taco special. The tortillas were nicely toasted and very light. The chorizo and egg filling had great flavor and was not at all greasy. All in all, the food preparation was top-notch. We'll be back. read more

Out of town and this place is PHENOMENAL. The French dip roast beef sandwich is to die for. The waitress was very welcoming and attentive. The food was hot coming out. Small town diner with such good food, this place will be forever be a staple when visiting!! read more

As my friends and I waited over an hour for our food we were genuinely tempted to run to a party supply store, buy skeletons, dress them, and set them up at a table clutching menus. And perhaps include a copy of the New York Times from 2015. The truly scary thing is we would have had time. Also, the food is great if you like anything that can be made greasy and rubbery. read more

I stopped thru this town on my motorcycle to get a bite to eat and caught a flat. The food was good, the owner was extremely thankful called her husband who came and took my bike 50 m away to a shop. You don't get that type of service food and hospitality all in one place these days. I'm sooo thankful. Stop by for good food and kind ppl. read more

This weekend we had breakfast here on Saturday and Sunday. Excellent food and the service was great. We highly recommend this very nice diner. Next trip to Saugatuck we will definitely go there. Sure beats other places in town!! Keep up the good work! read more

Update: I went back to this place in February and got a eggs, bacon and pancakes. The pancakes were like greasy styrofoam, the eggs were over cooked and the bacon was slightly burnt. I can't even voice my disappointment after having such a good experience the first time I came here. The staff seemed less attentive and more interested with the "regulars" and it took longer for coffee warm ups. Sitting in the main dining area this time, I found the place to be a bit more run down and in need of general maintenance and cleaning. Due to this experience, I have to down rate my original review from 5 to 2 stars. I walked in and was pleasantly greeted by two of the waitresses and sat at the bar. It has the feel of a classic small town American diner, complete with regular patrons judging from the staff and customer interactions. Very warm and welcoming. My waitress checked in and got drinks to me quickly. When asked about recommendations, she was very helpful. The coffee here is really good. Both waitresses checked in with me multiple times asking if I'd like a warm up on my coffee. Awesomely attentive and personable staff! The eggs Benedict I ordered came out fast and was cooked to perfection. The hollandaise sauce was some of the best I've had (they make their own). Hash browns were crisp and browned and not greasy at all. Good size portions for the price as well. Definitely will return to this hidden gem whenever I'm in the area! read more

Vicki's Family Diner - Eggs Benedict, sub bacon with hash browns - Diners Near Me - Douglas, Michigan

This restaurant is great! We were in Saugatuck for a long weekend and saw reviews so we knew we needed to try it. The wait staff was kind and helpful. The food portions are generous! I was not able to finish my entire meal. Both my boyfriend and I got the Ted scramble with no mushrooms and it was incredible. We also both got biscuits which were also incredible. If you get a scramble, it may be worth it to split and get an extra biscuit. They are dinner plate huge! If you have an appetite for some great food, highly recommend! Side note: they are closed on Mondays. read more

Vicki's Family Diner - Ted scramble (what's left of it!) - Diners Near Me - Douglas, Michigan

Nice little diner we've visited in the past on our way out of town. Both service and food were good. The food was plentiful and I know it's a little thing, but too many times at other places I've ordered rye toast that was barely toasted - this was perfect. Eggs and hash, and omelet were delicious and filling. Will definitely return. read more

Thia place has been painted a nice teal blue, and the current food is much better than pictured in these old yelp reviews. Thumbs up! Much better than I expected. read more

Really good overall experience for a late breakfast. I was immediately greeted when I first walked in. The server was exceptionally friendly and perfectly attentive (not too much and not too little.) Two eggs scrambled, ham, hash browns, silver dollar pancakes all cooked just right. Price was an outstanding value. Clean dining area. Easy parking. Granted, my visit was on a weekday, just before a holiday weekend. I'm sure theres a wait on weekends in this capital of summer tourism, but it's worth it. read more

Server was very nice, but food wasn't very good. I didn't know that pancakes could be so tough! We only went there because the Blue Star Cafe was closed. read more

Fresh food, modest prices and great service make this a go-to place for breakfast, lunch - and during the summertime - dinner in Saugatuck-Douglas, where most restaurants concentrate more on aggressive pricing than the quality of their fare. Unpretentious and down to earth, Vicki's serves all the comfort-food classics with uncommon elan. The food here is special, because it is real. :: Breakfast: A spinach-feta omelette was prepared with quality cheese and fresh baby spinach. Sunnyside-up eggs arrived sunnyside up. Pancakes were light and fluffy. :: Lunch: The patty melt, which I consider to be the gold standard in calibrating a diner's bona fides, was perfectly executed with a hand-formed burger and the right balance of onions and Swiss cheese. It was accompanied (for a modest up-charge) by must-have, crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth, sweet-potato fries, which were served in a basket lined with a reproduction of the help-wanted section of a newspaper in Lancashire, England (see pic). The basket liner tickled my fancy as a former ink-stained kvetch. But this is a place that even iPhone lovers can love. Go. Eat. Enjoy. P.S. If you are nice to Vicki and her mom, they might even give you a few newspaper liners to put under your sandwiches at home. read more

A great breakfast diner. Has breakfast (duh!) but also delicious lunch options. First judgment I often make of anywhere I go for breakfast / brunch is how is the coffee? I was delighted that it is quite decent. Staff is friendly and the food is standard diner food. Yum! read more

As other reviewers have reported Vicki's is a small town diner with friendly service and good prices. The interior is your standard family restaurant, basic tables fill the space as well as a counter. Two deer hang on the wall to watch diners as they eat. I went with a friend and her young daughter for breakfast. The waitress brought us a small kids bin with cards and crayons/coloring book for her daughter to use which was thoughtful. The menu is what you would expect, standard breakfast and lunch items. Our table had eggs, hash browns, bacon, biscuits and gravy and pancakes. My eggs came over medium as ordered. I think that the pancakes were a bit better than average, otherwise everything was standard good. I noticed another reviewer said that their bacon was greasy, which was surprising as ours was not. In fact we thought it was baked as it was flat and there was very little grease. This may be a change or a different cook. read more

Another delicious breakfast this morning at Vicki's! I had the hash-brown omelette & Texas toast and my hubby had the All America breakfast, eggs, sausage patties, potatoes and sour dough toast. Everything was AWESOME! And the service was very good, she kept or coffee and Diet Coke full! read more

We come to Douglas every year from Milwaukee, WI. Going to this place is like you struck gold! Prices are great and the wait staff and kitchen staff are excellent! Support local business. This place is is a gem! UPDATE: Still as good as ever. 8/2019 read more

Oh my goodness....this place is a disaster. I'm sitting in the parking lot writing this after what is likely the worst breakfast experience of my life. If I save even one person from this place it will be worth it. The Eggs Benedict, super salty shaved lunch ham, seriously? Over cooked eggs with some nasty mustard colored sauce on top? The two servers were super nice, but clearly over burdened. From the time I sat down to getting my breakfast took over 40 minutes. And then was served up this plate of mess. If Yelp offered negative stars, this place would get one. Do yourself a favor, find some place, any place, but this place. read more

Excellent experience, delicious food, and kind staff! Definitely a hidden gem with something for everyone.

Delicious breakfast served hot and fast by very friendly staff, so glad we tried Vicki's this morning and we'll definitely be back. Omelette stuffed with ingredients. read more
