Old Hamlin

A wonderful dining experience with exceptional service from Aminda. Cozy atmosphere, reasonable prices, and an ALL YOU CAN EAT Soup and SALAD BAR with homemade bread. I ordered the Beef Melt, stacked with Fries on the side, which is one of the best meals I've had in a long time. We also ordered coffee, and it is definitely an above average cup of Joe. Looking forward to eating here again next time we're in town.

Excellent service from Alexis! I was very happy w my breakfast. Over easy eggs cooked perfectly, sausage patties were super tasty & tender, the super thick homemade toast was crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside. The sausage gravy was pretty good. The pancake was very fluffy & thick. Food tasted very homemade. They also made a whole carafe of decaf coffee just for me. We will definitely return next time we’re in town.

Adorable old fashioned dinner equipped with the short bar seats at the counter, with pie on display. Coffee pots brought to the table, menu options as low as $4.99 and the inhouse baked white or cinnamon BREAD was amazing! All four of us enjoyed our breakfast, I had a skillet which is photographed below. The bacon was excellent.

Stopped through Ludington & quickly searched a brunch spot. After reading few reviews & seeing this had been around since the 40’s we knew this was it. Oh yea, did I mention homemade pies & bread?! After reading some pompous guys reviews about him being in the back & seeing people walk in the back & being confused about walking to the front (seriously read his review it oozes entitlement) we went in the back & walked to the front (crazy concept) 20 min wait on a busy Saturday was definitely acceptable. Shopped around & came back for our table. The decor is definitely outdated, but this is not a trendy restaurant this is a home cooked meal with a smile. Our server was super sweet & friendly, definitely made us feel right at home. We ordered our entrees & a side salad & the baked potato soup. Unfortunately our server forgot those, but things happen nbd. I chose the “roger burger” medium well hamburger, sautéed onions, pickles, cheese & bacon on some really good marbled Rye. It hit the spot! Fries were meh not crispy enough for me, but that’s me. My partner got the open faced Turkey sandwich on their huge homemade bread & they said it was fantastic! Stuffing was great & the mashed potatoes were right on point! Finished off with done homemade pie. Unfortunately I was kinda disappointed with the pie. As a holiday pie baker I’m always on the hunt for a coconut cream pie that can beat my grandma’s recipe & have never found one close. This custard filling was dense & not creamy at all. Both pies (coconut & lemon) had meringue on them that had shriveled up to a thin shrunken trim. Anyone that bakes knows a good meringue is hard to do, but I expect an established restaurant that has pies on the sign on the front to have perfected a meringue. Ah well! Over all it was a good lunch with a friendly staff & we will stop in again!
