On 7/3/2026 Erica Hernandez had this to say:
We were traveling home and happened to be going through Portage. We're so happy to have stopped here! Breakfast was AMAZING (homemade everything on a griddle right behind the counter), the waitress was fantastic and kind, and the 50's diner vibe was cute. If we ever happen to be driving though again, we will absolutely return. 10/10!
