Dune Billies — Restaurant in Michigan City

Cute place. But that's where it ends. I'm stunned with how terrible the service was. The waiter - young guy with a hat - seems as if he would rather volunteer to have his finger nails pulled off that be a welcoming presence at this restaurant. It was as if we showed up to someone's house unannounced and asked to be fed. Never welcomed us beyond a mumbled "howdy", after taking the order, which at 9am took 30 minutes to receive, we never saw him until I got up to ask for boxes. He didn't bring the drinks - that was a young girl who also looked completely miserable and who just arrived on shift - nor did he bring out the food. That woman actually was cheery and didn't make us feel bad for being there.

Now, the food. I'm no longer a vegetarian, but I spent 20 years as one. News flash.. vegetarians also want their food to have flavor. That $14 breakfast wrap was one of the saddest, flavorless things I've ever eaten. No, I take that back. It tasted like i opened a can of diced tomatoes and poured it on a fajita. It was so wet, from both the tomatoes and the wet spinach, that it couldn't hold together. Even our dog, who will eat eggs ALL THE TIME, had one bite and wouldn't touch the rest.

My boys were mostly satisfied with the breakfast burrito, but said that the only thing that flavored it was the green salsa on the side. So maybe seasoning food isn't their strong point.

Even when bringing our check and boxes, bro said nothing, dropped things on the table. And walked away. Please note I didn't ever complain about their trash food while there. I guess he is either just miserable or hates his job. Ownership might want to discuss how he represents Dune Billies, and that a kind server or host can go a long way.

Upon arrival, this place had half the tables filled, not half the seats or half the restaurant. We were shown their homemade signature Blueberry muffins. Over a dozen. Display of fresh fruit and salads. There were 4 cooks and 3 wait staff with 2-3 older ladies running the floor talking to common patrons. We waited 20 minutes for our beverages. Ordered food, all breakfast fair before noon. One pre-made quiche with Blueberry muffin, 4 fried eggs and bacon orders. Very basic, very simple. Everyone in the dinner was eating. One got served while we waited to place our drink order. After placing our food order 3 more tables were seated, half full. All 3 of those tables Ordered and were served before we received our food or even checked on. 3 in our group were out of drinks when they checked in. Still no food. My child fell asleep waiting. Another table was seated and served. It was nearly an hour after arriving. All of the patrons were gone that began, the next set of 3 were leaving, and we get told they sold out of the Blueberry muffins! Some lame "preorder" story that picked up late. I told them I wanted to leave and cancel our order. Of course food was ready then. I had to get it to go. We waited 1.5 hours for fried eggs, for my family. I do it at home with less equipment in far less time. Opened the to- go boxes and all the food was thrown in on each other, fruit with fried eggs and bacon on toast. So cute. Our family travels a lot and this was one...

Went at about 1130 on a Sunday at the beginning of October, with 6 people. Only waited about 15 minutes. Sat outside at a picnic table with an umbrella. Downfall, the Suns was a blazing. It was still so worth it!! The coffee was so good & I am so picky about my coffee. They offered us a blueberry muffin to try. Michael, our server, said he made it. I could have eaten the entire muffin myself, so fresh! The table had a turkey BLT, the sausage quiche, the captains dish (I loved the potatoes in this does, cooked crispy), began with egg and they accommodated the sandwich with bacon instead of sausage, so told it was so light and fresh. They had a special chicken salad. I was told it was very good, and the croissants tasted homemade. Purchased a spinach quiche and pot pie to take home. Both are so very delicious! Also, took home the special crumble and it looks amazing, just too full to try. Service was nice, refills in coffee and water. They were patient and easy to accommodate any requests. They offer quiches and pie for purchase whole for $30. Highly recommend for those looking for something to bring to the beach out for a light breakfast or for a dessert. This place is a 10 out...
