Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"A real diner! We were so happy to find this great place. Great breakfast but get there early on the weekend - a lot of folks know how great this cafe is. The coffee was so good. Skip bob’s and Dennys - have a great meal at Lux’s."
"This place is truly amazing — very consistent food quality and great value. We were just driving by around 10 a.m. and noticed the parking lot was already quite full, so we decided to stop in and give it a try. Even though the restaurant was busy, we didn’t have to wait long at all to be seated. Space & atmosphere The restaurant is much larger than it looks from the entrance. What you see at the front is only part of it — there’s a large dining area to the right after you walk in. • The very back area is perfect for group gatherings (around 5+ people) and feels almost like a party room • Moving forward, there are sections for 2–4 people, arranged in three rows: • A booth-and-table row by the windows • A middle row and a wall-side row with tables and chairs The seating is fairly dense, but it doesn’t affect the dining experience at all. Food & menu The three of us all ordered different dishes, and every portion was huge. The flavors are very well balanced — not too sweet, not too salty — making it easy for anyone to enjoy. There are lots of options, and many combos let you choose sides like pancakes, hash browns, or other breakfast items. The prices are very reasonable — under $20 per person, and the portions are so large that most tables end up taking leftovers home. What I ordered • One dish was served directly in a skillet, which was a really fun and unique presentation • The base had potatoes, shredded cheese, and large chunks of beef • Eggs were layered on top • And honestly — they gave FOUR eggs. Super generous! • I also ordered the Hawaiian fried rice • The portion was massive • Half the plate was eggs mixed with pineapple, very refreshing • Topped with fresh banana slices and strawberries • The other half came with hash browns (my choice), which were crispy and delicious What I ordered for my child I chose the San Francisco dish: • You can choose between two soups that day: • Chicken noodle soup • Creamy broccoli soup • It came with toasted bread, thin-sliced beef, and cheese — such a great combination • Also included were half a pickle and fresh tomato slices • The side I picked was fries, but you can also choose pancakes, hash browns, cabbage, and more • We were also given a large plate of biscuits, which paired perfectly with the chicken noodle soup — the aroma was amazing Other highlights • Free parking with a very large lot — no parking stress at all • The servers were extremely patient and helpful, especially since it was our first time • I personally loved the menu design • Simple • Clear • Easy to understand Unlike many restaurants where the menu feels overwhelming, this one made it easy to decide right away Overall This is a place where you can honestly order anything and not worry about being disappointed. Big portions, great prices, balanced flavors, friendly service, and easy parking. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"Fast, friendly service. Generous portions. Very tasty. Hubby had monte cristo and potato soup. I had vegetarian skillet minus cheese with the eggs on the side. Good coffee kept topped off."
"From the hostess to the ladies clearing tables Excellent!! Fresh hot food great service always smiling, able to make suggestions if you want something different. Only issue I have is outside with the parking never enough handicapped spaces."
"Found this place by accident, I am so happy I did. Their omletts are 4 eggs and more inventive than others I have had recently. Others in our party enjoyed the overside skillets and whimsical waffles and French toast. None of us were disappointed. The place reminded me of an old breakfast spot with good service and a clean atmosphere. The price was very reasonable as well. We will be back to try other things."
"Great food. Breakfast has always been done perfectly. Just remember,, when you order 1 egg you receive 2, order 2 you receive 4, & so on. Great coffee & service."
"Right off the highway. Excellent breakfast but super busy all the time. Everything we ate was great and service was very good. Waiting for a table can take quite a while, even on a weekday. Parking lot needs fixing like most Michigan roads."
"Very nice Cafe that is obviously popular because the place was packed. That's always a good sign! I had a traditional breakfast and my wife ordered a skillet. My breakfast was very good, but that skillet was the best. Definitely ordering that next time. We also had the stuffed French Toast. It was stuffed with cream cheese and topped with blue berries, strawberry and whipped cream. The cream cheese is just a block and is kind of odd. I suggest mixing the cream cheese with vanilla pudding or powdered sugar to make more of a cream filling. That would be amazing. Also have to give them props for having Pepsi products. Definitely adding this place to my #PepsiStops"
