Overboard Inn — Restaurant in Dalton Township

Happy to have bragging rights for the only restaurant in Twin Lake. We are so lucky to have the closest place to a real, down home, friendly neighborhood diner right here in our little village. There is even a nostalgic type lunch counter for those of us who enjoy eating up close to the heart of the action.

So many outstanding Pros: Consistently good, deliciously prepared food; fresh, hot, and made to order. Must try their homemade bread baked daily. Mmm-mmm good and yummy! So soft, aromatic, tasty... and the texture is perfection! Adds a simple additional dimension to your meal you'll find yourself anticipating when you return the next time. Haven't been disappointed since they opened, calling Twin Lake home. Certainly a must try for hungry foodies near or far. My favorite... Stuffed hash browns with homemade white bread toast and strawberry jam. It's like having dessert after breakfast!! YUMM!!!! Fast, friendly service with a smile! Reasonably priced, nice portions, clean. Always busy, so be prepared to wait just a bit if eating in; never too long a wait tho. Take out orders are normally ready within 15 minutes.

Only one Con: Beware the hours!! 8am to 1pm daily. Open for breakfast and lunch only. Boohoo! Now open on Mondays I think. Yay!! Not sure about Tuesdays. I recommend checking the website, or with...

This place came highly recommended by two different friends. I finally tried it out for the first and last time. We got seated fast as we took the counter stools for two people. I loved the prices. My daughter and I ordered the steak and eggs. it took just over an hour to get our food. Two people had sat next to us and they received their food and was on their way while we still waited for ours. I had about 5 cups of coffee, they are great with refilling that. I asked the waitress if that was normal for the wait and she said no, the boss was not in and there was new cooks back there. Yet, after thinking about it. It didn't stop all other tables and people to get their food. I'm not sure if they're not used to making steak but the steak seemed pale, with barely a sear on it. Pretty sure they microwaved it at some point. The eggs were eggs and the pancakes were meh. we were left very disappointed. Never have I ever waited that long to receive food. $39 dollars including tip was a total rip off. I should have gotten something off for the extremely long wait. I wonder if the waitress forgot to put my order in. that's what it really sounds like happened after...

As one of the few restaurants in the little village of Twin Lake, the Overboard Inn is a wonderful diner that would get great ratings in a big city. The hash browns are some of the best I've had in my 60+ years on this planet. Today I had the stuffed hash browns and can't wait to get them again. The omelets are delightful and the coffee is good. The only thing better than the food is the service! The waitress was super friendly and professional and made sure we had all we needed during our breakfast. She even asked if we wanted straws instead of plopping them down! My wife and I are adamant about not using single use straws and it is awesome that OI is moving in...
