Grayling Restaurant

Delicious oatmeal made just how I like it! Very friendly staff. Healing Restaurant never disappoints, highly recommend!

Place to go if you only go to one diner. Packed on a Sunday morning. Waited 30 sec for four. Cute diner w/ bar seats & great atmosphere.
Server helped me sub out potato option w/ tomato slices on the fried steak special. For $12 it was a huge plate. W/ eggs, toast & tomatoes I made a sandwich in addition to the fried steak which was perfectly breaded & large plus the gravy was actually good b/c don't usually like country gravy.
Cinnamon pancake was loved by kids. Home fries plate was huge & nicely cooked. The sweet potato tots was a favorite & enjoyed by all. Side salad was really a large size too.
Value for the money was excellent. So many things I wanted to try and will have to come back next summer during camping! Amazing experience.

Nice little place. Friendly staff, good atmosphere. What you might expect in a small little town on a Saturday morning.
Food was good, made to order. No complaints. Check it out.

Mom had a medical test at the hospital today and couldn't eat before the test. I told her I'd take her out for breakfast after if she was a good girl. Our favorite place is closed on Wednesdays, so we stopped at the Grayling Restaurant near the hospital. Hadn't been here in a few years so I was hoping it was still a good breakfast place. Today was my lucky day as I Was able to get a parking spot in front of door. Very helpful for Mom who has a bum knee and refuses to use her walker most times and won't let me buy her a travel wheelchair.

We slowly ambled in and the place was bustling. By the time we sat down the place was full and a line was forming out the door. I forgot that the paddlers from around the US and other countries were in town for the AuSable River Canoe Marathon. If you're into canoeing the marathon is a challenge. Its overnight along the AuSable River from Grayling,MI to Oscoda, MI. 120 miles of challenge maneuvering around several dams and bridges. This is the 75th year.

Like I said today was my lucky day. We were seated to a booth. Server immediately asked us what we wanted to drink. Answer: coffee, coffee, and more coffee. It was 1030am and we hadn't had anything to eat or drink since waking up. Silly me! I wasn't the one getting the medical test but in support of Mom I followed along with her Dr's orders. I sure hope my daughter is paying attention. Lol!!

Like many restaurants in northern Michigan the inside decor is outdated but service and food is very good. I had two eggs over easy, with sausage patties, and marble rye toast. They gave me four nice size sausage patties. Glad Mom didn't order any meat with her Cinnamon Raisin French Toast. The yolks were nice and runny with firm egg whites. I like when a restaurant has the jam and creamer on the table. I like variety so I can choose which jam(s) I want. I couldn't believe that Mom did not have a doggie bag this time. Her and I cleaned our plates.

Our server stopped by several times to freshen the coffee and ensure everything was good. She was zipping around like a bunny but smiling every second. Remember I mentioned a canoe marathon. Well while we were waiting on our food a gentleman approached us about buying 50/50 raffle tickets for the marathon. At first I got a little defensive since I'm always leary of strangers. I politely said no thank you. Of course as I watched him with other customers, I called him over when he was near our table and bought 5 tickets. I think we talked 5 minutes about motorcycles and serving in the military.

As we leave the restaurant a older lady approaches us and ask us if it was crowded. Mom said yes, but our table we just left should be available. The lady went in and came back out. Apparently in the place filled up before we got to the car. The lady was sweet and thanked us. Most small towns in northern Michigan are welcoming. Most people who live in them year round appreciate the visitors for helping the local community.

My family has a cottage in Grayling and this is a favorite spot for breakfast. I enjoyed the Spinach omelette, hash browns, and toast with an iced tea today. Lots of filling in the omelette! Yummy ranch also (that was an up charge of 69 cents).

It's a small place so it might mean a wait when busy. The staff are kind and the place is welcoming. We always leave full too.

Good quality food prepared well!
The servers are always super friendly and attentive even when they are busy (lunchtime during the week sees every seat full)

Great spot for breakfast!

First breakfast place I've been too that was so good! French toast excellent! Bacon cooked perfect to our liking! Clean! An very good wait staff!

The food was very good and the staff was very nice as well. I had the French Toast and really enjoyed it. I have high standards for French Toast but this one certainly measures up! It's a small diner in a small town. My favorite type of place! Definitely going to go back.

Love this place. We make it a must stop and eat every trip.

The food is amazing, staff is friendly and atmosphere is fun.

Excellent customer service in this cozy, local spot. Good variety of breakfast menu items with reasonable pricing. We enjoyed the Western and Irish omelettes and the pancakes fill up your entire plate!! Coffee is a little weak for my taste but I'd go back next time I'm in the Grayling area!!
