The Shore. Located in a well-preserved bulding that they own, this is a family-run restaurant. Angelo cooks up great potatoes, and eggs that are done just as you request. Tina and son Mike provide quick, friendly service. The interior is nothing fancy, but it's clean, has a counter with stools, and is reminiscent of a diner from the 60s. I discovered it a couple of years ago, and have been going there for breakfast nearly once a week since.

Without a doubt "The Place to Be" on Warren Road, Lakewood. Super fast, accurate service, very friendly and competitively priced. My son and I eat there once a week and I wish we could go more. Have tried other places but for the above reasons ALWAYS come back to "The Place to Be" as the others can't top them! Love, love that place!

Hands down 100% The Shore Restaurant. The food is fabulous. The service is fast and they are so friendly there. They definitely remember their regular customers :) We go there often!!

the place to be--it's a lakewood institution!

danny's deli!!! formerly tina's has re-opened and our rocking out breakfast!!!!

My family likes going to Two dad's

It would have to be "The Place to Be". Wonderful breakfasts, great service and you can't go in without seeing someone you know. My college and high school age kids have grown up going there and it is now the place they choose to go with their friends for breakfast.

The Place To Be! We love their breakfasts! Great, friendly service and reasonable prices too.

John's Diner...belly up to the counter and have the best corned beef hash in town. The waitresses still use the "Old School" shout out orders like, "Adam and Eve on a raft".

Hands down, The Coffee Pot on Madison! Donald and Jozie make the best home fries in town. The steak and eggs are a fantastic deal and taste great too! Donald works nights at Parallax, the guy knows how to cook!

Where on Madison?

So far, everyone has forgotten about Borderline on the west end of Detroit. Great southwest touch to the menu,several "healthy choices",and the regular breakfast fare. The ladies there are great. Busy to the point that you may have to wait for a table, but worth it.

Also for great coffee and a croissant try Blackbird, at Detroit and Sloane.

One more time, for the vegetarian and vegan lovers there is The Root Cafe. Great coffee, lattes, their own blended teas and more. On Detroit near the Exchange. Really love the Happy Belly tea.

Amazing food. Amazing service. Kelly and Carrie are the best.

The Root Cafe in Lakewood. The most organic, locally supportive, and health-conscious menu, and friendliest establishment known to man.

I like 56 West. Food is good, very friendly service, and not expensive. Great Sunday Brunch!!

Although, it is a small place, it's still worth the trip...

Wowsers! Thanks for all the awesome nominations... Keep 'em coming!

Johns Diner! Great food and great prices. The place if classic!

Never had any problems at The Coffee Pot, other than it being closed on Mondays! The Shore is right by me, they do not have seating for groups over 6 so we do not eat there.

The Place To Be

I'd have to agree with the nominations about The Shore, but let's not forget the excellent weekend brunch and Bloody Mary bar at the Westend.

It has to be The Place to Be. I will have to check a few spots mentioned here, though. Already missing Two Dads-- just around the corner from my house.

I do want to give a nod to Dunkin Donuts, if you are a "coffee to go" breakfast person-- terrific brew every time.

Looking for good food, great prices and nostalgia... Then you gotta visit "Johns Diner". The food is good, the prices are great and its a throw back to the days when your dad would take ya to the the diner on a Saturday morning! My daughter and I love going there and grabbing our favorite booth or just sitting at the counter reading the paper and listening to the waitresses yelling out orders to the short order cooks. Its a classic!

Breakfast lunch and dinner!

I'd like to give a neighborly nod to Diana's Deli but I'd vote for The Shore

The Borderline Cafe!

A Place to Be for the best service, friendly and FAST!! I have not been to The Shore, it is not far from my house, but it looks so tiny that I have never stopped in. I will give them a try this weekend.

The Shore is at 12009 Detroit. But I also love Borderline's Southwest omelet---their salsa is unbelievably delicious. Root has great breakfast now, too, and the coffee is the best. How lucky we are in Lakewood to have so many great choices....

There is simply no contest. The Shore is head and shoulders above. Great menu, comparable to any in Lakewood. What makes it stand out is the price. We switched from that establishment at Detroit and Warren for this reason. And the owner/operation is superb, I was a Great Northern Mall and they came over to say high to me.
