We decided to try Uptown Grill this weekend during a weekend stay in Saginaw. Wow! I am so happy we made the 15 minute drive to Bay City! The lobby was full with anxious patrons which was our sign this was a good sign of a good place to be. It was very pretty inside and clean. The coffee shop next door was also full of customers. We walked over there to check it out while we waited but decided to just stay at Uptown Grill. It was nearly noon on a Saturday and we were told there might be a 15 minute wait. We waited 5 minutes and there was a table ready for the two of us. We were seated and found the menu displayed nicely under the glass table top. Germ free! Our waitress, Samantha, was professional, friendly, welcoming and proficient. She was able to take both our beverage and food orders all at once. The coffee was hot and good and came in nice, large mugs that felt comfortable nestled in our hands. (Recommendation: I would love to see a little pitcher with real cream rather than the individual creamer packets. They may offer that - I should have asked.) My husband and I both ordered the 3 eggs and meat item on the menu. Our eggs were made to order. I loved my basted eggs and bacon and my husband thought his scrambled eggs and sausage were very tasty. We both opted for the specialty pancakes and we were amazed!! I had the delicious sweet potato pancakes with the brown sugar and pecans on top. Oh. My. Goodness. Sooooooo goooood!!!! I was full and boxed up half and can’t wait to dip into the leftovers later!!! I wish I had the recipe. Seriously the best pancakes I have ever had in my life! I didn’t even put syrup on them. They were perfect as is!! We are so happy to have found this little gem. The place was hopping, the servers were pleasant and helpful. They looked like they enjoyed being there as much as I did which made me so happy. Uptown Grill, thanks for helping make a special memory for us. I can’t wait to come back! I want to try the Baklava French Toast!
