Steak ‘N Egger

After a hellish night, which consisted of a filthy bed bug infested hotel room, followed by a few practically sleepless hours in the car, my husband spotted this restaurant and we decided to get some breakfast. The eggs were over easy instead of over medium, but that’s typical. Most restaurants can’t do over medium. The English muffin was phenomenal, seriously, it made the breakfast. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was so clean. I noticed it immediately and instantly felt better. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars, is the hash browns were a touch over done, and the coffee was average. Otherwise, I’d stop here the next time we go through Muskegon. And I highly recommend it.

Excellent food & staff. It has been a full house every time I have eaten there (now 4). There is a longer wait for the food, due to hungry occupied seats, but the staff make sure the coffee keeps flowing at all times. Highly recommend!

I’ve eaten breakfast in restaurants all over the country. I’ve had better (Refuel Café’ in New Orleans) and I’ve had worse (the Muskegon Denny’s…not ALL Denny’s restaurants). I’ve had some WONDERFUL items at Steak & Egger and I’ve had some pretty average items from Steak & Egger. Never have I had anything from there which has been poorly made so, in my humble opinion, all of these factors classify them as better than average.
The first time I ate there I had the HOMEMADE corned beef hash. Now, I certainly don’t consider myself a corned beef hash efficienado (sp)…when cooked thoroughly, I even like the canned stuff… but I know quality ingredients. The corned beef hash at Steak & Egger is made of lean corned beef, potatoes and, perhaps, some seasoning — Nice and simple, as it should be. I was hooked!
Today I had strawberry crepes which, I believe, was a ‘special’ and not something on the regular menu. At first, I was surprised by the lack of strawberries on top, as they appeared to be used more as a garnish. Then I found they had strawberries inside too. Still not an over-​abundance but, after tasting the DELICIOUS, real cream cheese filling I was more than satisfied with the quantity of stawberries. Another thing I was greatly pleased with was the real whipped cream on top because one of my pet peaves is when restaurants use fake whipped ‘cream’, which ruins an otherwise quality dish.
In addition to typical breakfast fare, Steak & Egger offers non-​breakfast meals. I have yet to try anything other than breakfast items but, given that the place has been around for years and is almost always busy (with locals and tourists alike), I feel it’s safe to assume that most everything is good.
On top of quality food, other factors which contribute to Steak & Egger being considered above average in my book are the portion sizes (rarely can either my husband or I finish everything), the prices (one can easily get a complete meal, including drink, for less than $ 10…with food to spare) and, EXTREMELY important, the service (we have yet to find an unfriendly or inefficient server, even when the place is filled to capacity).
So, all in all, I would DEFINITELY recommend Steak & Egger to family and friends!

Loved it. Large portions cooked perfectly. Delicious pancakes. Friendly friendly friendly… Big tip for our waitress. Convenient location.

Love this place and love the people. Usually just get the breakfast food which is yummy so don’t know much about the lunch.

I’m curious why so many negative reviews, although I’ve only eaten breakfast here. Every time we fly in and fish with Kyle Buck of Great Lakes Guide Service we come here before hitting the water to catch steelhead and honestly it’s always been good for breakfast and reasonably priced. We’ve been a half-​dozen times in the last two years and the service has always been good. This place blows away Denny, IHOP, Bob Evans, etc, so would people rate those a zero?

I’m surprised by the negative reviews. I’ve eaten here multiple times and have never had anything sub par.

I ordered the blueberry pancakes with Michigan blueberries. Safe bet right? Wrong, the blueberries were kind of dry and chewy. I have two theories. One is that they were reconstituted dried or they had been retrieved from the back of the fridge after a bit too long. Either way I was really put off by them. The prices are high for the quality of the food. There aren’t many restaurants nearby. Oh well the locals seem to like the place.

Food has gotten really bad. Looks and tastes like has sat all day. Dried out potatoes. Specials taste like out of a can and also dried out. We do not plan to return and a shame as used to be great.
