Great Lakes Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Eaton Rapids

Nice, small, cozy, clean diner that is overlooking the river. It was a great view today with the first snow. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The service was fast but had to wait until all over our dishes were completely gone and had to ask for the check. Timing could be better. It was still slower as the Sunday crowd hadn't come in yet.

The food is your average diner food. Steak omelette is yummy but the hash browns were barely cooked and still a little cold in the middle. Those could use a few more minutes. The pancakes were delicious. I was just super disappointed when they brought out the cheapest Walmart brand high fructose corn syrup for the syrup even still it the Great Value bottle. The top was nasty and sticky. Please consider an increase the syrup quality and/or add maple as an option (I'd even pay more to have some good quality maple syrup). The ketchup was also HFCS and super sweet. Aldi's ketchup is cheap and better than whatever brand that was there. I would think a simple thing to make it more of a nice diner/breakfast spot is a few nicer things. Like syrup (the syrup appeal) maybe the little syrup dispensers instead, ketchup, maybe a homemade special like breakfast cinnamon rolls one the weekend. I really was expecting/hoping there to be a little more quality for a new restaurant in the area. Once I saw all the cheap things I assumed the quality of my food was also cheaper. Just my opinion and overall feel. I would consider going again when visiting town but it definitely isn't the reason I'd be back to visit...
