Got some of the recommended like the hash brown omelette and the deep fried cinnamon roll. The eggs Benedict was my favorite here. Also got the windmill pancakes which are just regular pancakes so I would pass on that. Definitely recommend the other things we got. It was also like a 30-45 minutes wait to get in but food came fast. Overall, had a great experience. read more

The food is very generous and filling. The hostess were kind and helpful in deciding what to order. The cinnamon rolls are humongous!

One of my favorite breakfast spots. Hate to recommend because it already has a wait, but love the hash brown omelet and fried cinnamon roll.

Everyone needs to dine at Windmill Restaurant at least once in their lives for a stick-to-your-ribs kind of breakfast. You can't go wrong with any option, especially the egg-based dishes and homemade breads...and THE CINNAMON ROLL. It's an icon. Try it deep-fried because you only live once. Also: waiting outside in line is part of the experience. Don't let your impatience get the best of you. You're just minutes away from a meal you won't forget. read more

Windmill Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Holland, Michigan

We were in Holland to visit Hope College for a tour, and I'm so happy our hotel recommended the Windmill for breakfast. Anna was the sweetest server around, and she took great care of us. This feels like the perfect small town cafe with friendly service, hot coffee, and fresh baked thick cut bread used for their toast and French toast. Prices are great and the food is great - I feel like we found a gem on our short visit. The place fills up quickly so if you're not early you may have to wait... read more

Love this place. The line looked intimidating but it moves fast. I was here the last day of the Tulip festival so I'm not sure if there is always a line but the 30-35 min went fast. Great food. My only caution is to carefully read the menu. I got the hash brown omelette thinking it was hashbrowns wrapped around an omelette but the hashbrowns were a sub for the eggs. That was my mistake but in case you don't want a pound of potatoes and little protein, be my guest. The homemade bread was my favorite. Such great food read more

Lovely little restaurant right off of the main Street. Looks like a lot of locals come here but we saw quite a few tourists too. The menu has a lot of options on it. Primarily breakfast but there are some good lunch specials and lunch options. I had the Turkey club and it was very traditional, very good. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable for each of the entrees. Would definitely come back here again. read more

Super cute restaurant and snagged two seats at the bar before it started to get busy around 845 am on a Sunday. Two omelettes: spinach and feta with sausage patties and sourdough toast. Denver omelette with sausage links and sourdough toast. His links were much better had a great flavoring to it. Toast was awesome it had been awhile since either of us eat bread. Spinach/feta omelette was food and take note it comes with mushrooms and tomatoes, too. Sold. Coffee was super good and super hot. Cute little establishment and it hooked us up till dinner. read more

Food was bland and the service was horrible. In fact as we were leaving we were asked not to bring my family back because there was 9 of us and they sat us in two Botha. 4 in one and 5 in the other. One in a chair in the middle of the walk way. Which everytime someone walked by you got hit in the back. The table was so small there was hardly enough room for our plates. the waitress got mad just because I asked to move a table in the back that came open and she got an attitude with me because I asked to me. Which in fact we did not move. we still sat there and I had to sit with my legs on my husbands just so there was room for us all to fit. But once again we were the problem read more

Hearty Breakfast. I had the 2eggs sausage , hash browns and home made bread for toast. So good! especially the hash browns. My friend had the homemade cinnamon buns. He did not leave a crumb. He said it was delicious. Service was excellent. She was friendly and attentive and the place was cute with a friendly atmosphere. It's a small place so you form a line outside the place to see who goes next. read more

The service was quick but I got the hashbrown omlette and I could barely eat half. It was very bland no amount of salt could help it. It was also covered with grease. The highlight of my meal was the crispy hashbrown bits and the raisin toast that was slathered in so much butter I had to get a napkin to dab some off. read more

If you are in downtown Holland this is a must go place. They close pretty early (2pm most days) & they go first come first serve, no reservations but if you arrive when it's busy check out the neighboring shops and pop back over! We really enjoyed our visits to the Windmill Restaurant during our vacation. The decor is adorable, service was great and we enjoyed every dish we had. The philly burrito is great, and they do serve breakfast all day - the french toast was delicious! read more

COME HUNGRY! We decided yesterday that breakfast away from our hotel sounded good. They open early and we recommend an early start to avoid the crowd. They offer different creamers for the coffee allowing you to choose from many flavors. My wife opted for the Bird Nest and I had the Hashbrown omelet. I cannot stress enough, come hungry! The portions are beyond generous, I ordered the smaller version and it covered the entire plate. It came with bread choices and I tried the deep fried cinnamon roll. My wife choose the homemade bread with hers. My roll was covered in house made icing and was delicious, just the right combination of chewy and soft. My wife's toast was more akin to Texas toast as the slices are thick cut. The diner isn't large and has comfortable booths along one wall and counter seating on the other, with the kitchen in back. We had a great breakfast here and can't fathom how anyone could finish what they serve! read more

This restaurant always seems to be very crowded. The food is good, the omelet is the best. I wasn't particularly impressed with the ambiance, tables to tight together, hard to hear, but others must love it because it is always full! read more

This place is your typical small-town cafe: long, narrow restaurant with large portions of delicious food. Our server (Anna M) knew details of everything on the menu and her descriptions were perfect. My wife ordered pancakes and they were done perfectly and were a cross between fluffy and chewy. My sausage hash brown omelet was a work of art. It was, as you can see, a massive bunch of hashbrowns, cooked flat and filled with onions, cheese and sausage. I don't want to think of the calorie content but can assure you it was worth every bite! This is a restaurant you must visit if you are here on vacation or simply passing through. Keep in mind they are only open for breakfast and lunch. read more

It was good as the reviews said it would be. We went during Tulip Time 2024 so it was packed. We tried on Sunday but the line was out the door and we didn't want to be late for our appointment. We went back Monday morning around 9am and there wasn't a wait. Lucky for us. When we left the line was to the next shop next door. I took everyone's suggestion and got the hash brown omelet (with out toast and saved $1) with bacon. It was huge, the size of a large plate. I also ordered an egg med. the egg was a perfect medium. The omelette was delicious and is big enough to share. Service was quick and polite. We weren't rushed. I highly recommend this place. I suggest getting up early and have patience if there is a line. It's worth it. read more

My wife and I decided to try this place for breakfast this morning. We had to wait outside in the cold for 15 minutes and when we got in we ordered if we could share and Reagan said there was never a problem doing that, she'd bring an extra plate. We ordered the Windmill breakfast , a decaf coffee and green tea. Reagan took our order and asked if we wanted any meat with it and we said bacon. The service was fast, she brought three pancakes, four slices of bacon, and the coffee and tea. My wife and I looked at each other and wondered where the eggs were. We decided that maybe we read the menu wrong. We finished our meal. Reagan came back and asked if we wanted anything else and handed me a bill for $24+ dollars. (For 3 pancakes, 4 pcs of bacon, one cup of decaf and a cup of tea. We won't be going back to the Windmill restaurant. read more

Food was fine as good as fast food but you go for the cute town and diner experience.

In town for Thanksgiving and stopped in for breakfast. The food is much better than when I ate here as a teenager. Nobody ever stood in line to eat here in the 1970's. I'm pretty sure the sign outside hasn't changed. I had a basic breakfast because what I really wanted was a couple of pigs in the blanket. Absolutely perfect and how I remember them from my youth. If you are imagining sausage wrapped in a pancake or a hot dog in a Pillsbury roll you are not from around Holland. I have no clue as to the provenance of this dish, but it was a mainstay of church socials when I was young. In that way, this is an authentic Holland dish. read more

Our server was efficient and packaged all our cinnamon rolls to go for us. We were a party of 6 and everyone of us raved about the homemade bread. I had a mini hashbrown omelette and it was delicious. Could have been a bit more crispy, but was cooked, so it worked. read more

Cute diner with an option-filled menu for breakfast(served all day) and lunch. There was a bit of a line but the wait was worth it. The diner is cozy and it was festively decorated. We opted for hash brown omelet (eggs, bacon bits, onions and cheese wrapped in a crispy layer of hash browns), served with delicious fresh bread and jam. Hubby chose a double cheeseburger with onion rings. Great service and reasonably priced right in the heart of downtown Holland. read more

Breakfast at The Windmill was a mixed bag. Food was mostly solid, but the place was crowded, noisy, and hectic, which made it hard to relax. Service was friendly and fast, despite the chaos. My wife loved her English muffin, and our daughter was happy with her Denver omelet + gluten-free toast (no extra charge--nice touch!). I wasn't thrilled with my meal--blueberry pancakes were stiff, and the over-easy eggs came out greasy. Prices are reasonable, especially for the daily specials. If you don't mind a packed diner vibe, it's worth a try--but not sure we'd return. read more

What a local favorite the Windmill restaurant. Sunday morning they open at 7am and there is already a line forming out front. The restaurant is straight forward. Bar stool seating, booths and tables. Everyone and everything is close together so be prepared. I suggest leaving the strollers, big jackets and purses in the car and come in light. You will be more confident. The restaurant decorations are Holland and Dutch very authentic and pleasing. The restaurant is clean, well lit and without stairs to get in your way. The restroom was clean and very small. Be careful when opening the door and wait in the hallway behind the door for your turn. My husband loves the farmers skillet. You are given a lot of breakfast food, cooked to perfection, seasoned and hot! I am a BIG fan of the homemade muffins and they go FAST! Blueberry is my favorite but the cinnamon is a close second. I also get a BLT on their homemade bread! I have not had one bad meal here yet. The staff is welcoming, the food so hardy and delicious definitely a perfect breakfast spot. Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I went for breakfast. There was a long line when we got there. The proprietor came out and ensured us that the line would move quickly. There were 10 people in line, but we were seated within 15 minutes. The service was excellent. It did not take long to get our food. If we had been in a rush, we could have gotten in and out within 30 minutes. The food was excellent. We decided to go back for breakfast again the next day. The owner came by and spoke with us after our meal. On our 2nd visit, he stopped by again and welcomed us back. He found out it was my birthday during our conversation. After we asked for the check, he came out with a pastry in a box with "Happy Birthday" written on it. It was a cinnamon roll. My wife and I shared it for dessert later that evening. It's a small place, but the service and food were excellent. I definitely recommend this place, and I will go back on my next visit. read more

The food was your classic diner style. No frills just great food. I had the hashbrown omelette. I got the mini and it was plenty big! The wheat toast is made with their homemade bread. It was delicious as well. My husband had an omelette and opted for the cinnamon roll. He said it was very good. It must get pretty crowded because it's small.

We visited Windmill while in town for a wedding and it was delicious. Don't let the line scare you; it went quick and was well worth the wait. Our waitress was a gem and was awesome.
