We were traveling through Michigan to get to my cousins wedding & needed to find a place to eat. My wife suggested this place from a list of local selections. WE WERE THRILLED to find this GEM off the beaten path!!! The atmosphere was great, both inside & out. We sat outside on the patio. We were surprised to see that it was their Germanfest and that they had a special avaliable for the special occasion. The variety plate was the best selection of German food I've had in a VERY long time!!! There were 3 types of wurst, schnitzel, spaetzle, sour krout, & the best German potato salad I've ever had on this plate!!! It was soooooo good that I asked them for the recipe. But they declined to give it out as it was a secret. (Bummer...) However my wife had their shrimp platter & couldn't have been more thrilled with her selection either. It ended up being one of the best anniversary dinners we've ever had. (Yes my cousin chose the same weekend to get married, I can't blame him. It's It's wonderful time of year to get married.) So for our 17th wedding anniversary this was the spot chosen & I wouldn't change it for the world!!! If & when we're ever back in this neck of the woods, I'll always suggest a pit-stop at Breakers for dinner or even a lunch date. This is truly worth the stop. If you're in the area and need to try something new, or even a different place from your normal, this place should be on...
Read moreBreakers has Sports TV inside and 3 or 4 deck areas. 50 yard white dock with American flag waving belongs to Breakers. Tie your water craft up and come on in. There is no sign at the waters edge, you just need to know... look up from the water for Breakers on the roadside. Perch is good, you must ask for it to be sauteed. Want a real downstate Coney Dog... they got it, and the dog has the 'snap'... just like home. I'm guessing it's Koegel's or Dearborn Vienna with skin. They carry LaBatt's Blue NA. House cab is good and that's coming from Rae. She won a family wine tasting contest answering all questions correctly, even selecting the inexpensive v cheap but good, and the expensive bottle. Nooo, she doesn't drink that much Mom. It was just at the family thing. Would like to try the big pretzels for a snack with beer. BTW... our waitress asked if we would like the coleslaw 1st... YES! Nice job Miss, I'm never asked ( before you) and I sit there hungry wishing I had something to eat. I'm too enchanted with my date Rae Wojtala, so incredibly beautiful, so sophisticated and articulate... to remember to...
Read moreI’m sure part of my experience depends on the fact that the place was busy today. But, it’s not a holiday, just a Tuesday evening. What a terrible experience. Not one single time did the waitress come back to ask if I needed a drink refill or anything. I ordered shrimp and wild rice… The shrimp were tiny and rubbery, the rice was served basically room temperature and mushy. Didn’t even eat it. I guess for $20. I expected more. Kids were served grilled cheeses that had UNMELTED slices of cheese in them. 20 minutes later they still aren’t back from the kitchen. One of the people in our group ordered a hotdog that came with a side of french fries… There were five fries! The waitress seemed annoyed when I asked if that was an order of fries. We’ve eaten here before, we know the food can be good, but today, not only the service sucked, the food sucked bad. Seems as though when you own multiple businesses, it’s hard to keep any of them under control. This appears to be a good example. This was our last visit here. It was not only bad, it was bad without any apology or...
