Customer Reviews

"Quirky little dinner. Went for breakfast, place was packed. Waitress was on top of everything a day food was delivered super quick. Cinnamon was good, not too much frosting. Country omelet had tons of sausage."

- Andy V.

"A great place for breakfast or lunch. Portions will fill you up and service always quick and with a smile. I love the porky pig omelette (no opinions on mine)."

- Tim C.

"Excellent food. The service was exceptional as well. Make sure to try the Beef Pasty with homemade potato chips, fried chicken, and cod dinner. Honestly, their beef pasty is the best I have ever eaten, and I've been to the U.P. and eaten many there. Sorry, Yoopers! Poppa's wins!"

- The C.

"Smaller place with 4 seating tables which likely can be moved together for larger parties. Service was courteous and efficient. We had breakfast which was prepared exactly how we asked. Portions were plentiful. Food was brought to our table quickly. Prices were reasonable."

- Roger J.

"I eat here a lot for breakfast. Food is always good with great service. Reasonable prices. Only complaint is the restaurant is small and you're packed in. DON'T pick the table near the bathroom door or the back door. You'll constantly be interrupted."

- Joe L.

"Highly recommend Poppa's Place! My family has been coming here for breakfast every summer when we visit Clark Lake since I was a kid. Poppa's Place has always had great service, homey decor, delicious food, generous portions, and very reasonable prices. You really can't go wrong here. I was especially impressed with the service today. There was one waitress working the whole dining room for most of our visit due to a staff shortage, but she was really on the ball. She managed the stress beautifully, worked quickly, always remained friendly and as attentive as possible, and she even helped in the kitchen on top of that. Major kudos! (I forgot to take pictures of our food before we started eating, but here are some pictures of the decor I mentioned. I love the atmosphere here.)"
