    A functional jukebox costs 25 cents for 6 plays. The rest of the place also harkens back to the 1950s.
    Rob P.

    Movies about time travel are some of my favorites. Going to eat at Wheeler's makes me feel like I hopped in the DeLorean with Doc Brown and went back to the 1950s. It has a functioning jukebox with songs from The Spinners and Elvis. A quarter will get you six plays. The mini jukeboxes at the tables are being worked on...they need to order vacuum tubes to get them working. I can't remember the last time I used all those words in the same sentence. After a night of adult beverages elsewhere, breakfast here really hit the spot. So did the brunch drinks. My wife started with a tasty peach mimosa for $5. I had a massive spicy Bloody Mary for $8. While we were picking out songs on the jukebox, the food arrived...maybe 5 minutes after placing the order. The Country Omelette was massive, and served with a mountain of hash browns. I was hungry, but I couldn't finish it all. The jukebox and huge, tasty meals served quickly aren't the only reason to come here. There's a massive bakery display, with massive donuts, colossal cookies, and freshly baked bread. All of it looked so good that we bought a bit of everything. Even if you aren't in the mood for breakfast, stop in for the baked goods. They also have lunches, with a nice variety of sandwiches and other items. My brother in law really enjoyed the nachos, and the crispy chicken sandwich my sister in law got looked great. Options are limited in Standish, but eating here hits all the notes for food options, and won't hit you hard in the wallet. It's a bargain for a trip back in time.

    This was my first time here. It was a very cute diner in Standish. It was recommended that we stop here on the way back from our trip to traverse City. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We were in and out within 30 minutes, I kid you not! The food was hot when served and the prices were very reasonable. I would highly recommend it.

    Stopped in to kill some time and stuff my face and I was not disappointed. For starters, the waitress was busy (crazy for a Monday afternoon). However, she did everything in her power to give me great service. She offered up multiple options for me to plug in my laptop while I enjoyed my meal. They also offer Wi-fi to their customers, which is great. You can tell they care about making a first time customer a regular. She fixed me up a delicious Bloody Mary while I waited for my garlic cheese curds. They were absolutely scrumptious. Crispy and gooey with a pool of ranch to dunk it in (just the way I like it). Need less to say, I enjoyed my stop here and I most definitely will be coming back here. Thanks, Wheelers!

    My loaded Country breakfast was delicious and the service was very good. Even the owner stopped and chatted with us.

    Great spot in an old building in the middle of nowhere. Don't let the appearance of the building…read morefool you. The menu is superb with daily soup, sandwich, entree, and dessert specials. Lots of traditional dishes from Germany. A friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Most local customers know each other. They have a real chef Did I mention the full bar? Drink specials too, especially around any holiday, like Valentine Day, St Patrick's Day etc

    It pains me to leave such a poor review; however, I am committed to transparency with our Yelp…read morecommunity. Let me begin with the strengths: excellent service. Our server was sweet, attentive, helpful. I want to give Cafe International high marks based on this single quality. Alas, the food makes or breaks a restaurant. The ambience was warm, comfortable and interesting. I enjoyed looking at all the details of decor. I found it to be just "clean enough." One of the two bathroom stall doors would not fully close. The portions of our dinner plate and appetizer were generous, although, the size of the salad bar plate was fairly small. They definitely intend for the salad to be a "side." The lettuce looked wilted, almost like it was slightly frozen, so we made a salad with mostly tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese and croutons. Finally, the final bill, around $35, for an appetizer, dinner and two bottled Pepsis was reasonable, especially as prices for eating out are climbing. Now for the big disappointment: the Jagerschnitzel, our main course, was terrible. The pork was flavorless. The mushroom gravy overshadowed the meat and also lacked notable flavor and the spatzel tasted like balls of flour and water (yep, like little balls of homemade Play dough.) The best part of the dish was the green beans, which may have come from a can. The dinner rolls were ......soft? That's the best I can do. My husband and I were hungry so we ate what we could but we both agreed it was one of the worst meals we've had out in a long time. Our potato skins were fine; lots of potato, not crispy but more like a chunk of a baked potato, with melted cheese and real bacon. We ordered water and couldn't get past the smell of the well water. Our server, who said she lives in the area and is accustomed to it, also acknowledged it can be unpleasant for many. We couldn't order tea or fountain drinks because they use the well water so we had to order a bottled Pepsi. The menu has many items to choose from. I'm wondering if we would have been better off with a sandwich, something ordinary and difficult to prepare poorly. The reviews from other Yelpers are so positive I'm wondering if I'm just not a fan of this type of dish. That's possible. I'll never know because I don't plan to return.
