"When the waitress returned, we placed our breakfast orders. We all got $3.00 cups of hot coffee, which were fine. However, 40 minutes later, another waitress came over to apologize for the wait and asked if we wanted more coffee. We said yes, but it took her another 5 minutes to bring the coffee, and just as she poured it, our food finally arrived. One order of French toast was correct, but another was completely wrong—I was missing my toast! Our waitress came over, and we told her about the mistake. She took back the incorrect order and promised to get my toast. After 15 minutes, she returned with the correct French toast, but still no toast for me. She assured me she would get it. Another 10 minutes later, a different waitress checked on us, and I mentioned that I still hadn’t received my toast. Five minutes after that, she finally asked if I’d like the toast. We had to wait a long time for our bill as well. By the time we left, it was after 2 o'clock, and most of our time there was spent waiting. Paying $60 for breakfast for three people felt absolutely outrageous!"

I had the Nutella Crepes and they were fresh and tasty. Yummy, highly recommended! My husband had this huge burger who was quite expensive, but he said it was worth it!! I've never been here before, but I'm back. The service was excellent and the waitress was excellent! Definitely recommended!

I tried the Nutella crepes, and they were fresh and delicious—truly delightful! I highly recommend them. My husband ordered a gigantic burger, which was a bit on the pricey side, but he claimed it was worth every penny! This was my first visit, but I'm definitely planning to return. The service was excellent, and our waitress was exceptional! I highly recommend this place! View menu

I've been here a handful of times and I don't know why I keep going back. It's always mediocre at best. Today, I ordered chicken lemon rice soup and it was way too salty. I also had an order of fish and chips and the fish was okay but the oil it was deep fried in must've not been hot enough because the batter was soaked in oil. very mushy and not crispy. also drink prices are a little ridiculous. $3 for a 16 oz lemonade and half of it is ice. Really wanted to like this place but I guess its just not that great to me.

We were waited on by two ladies. A young lady and her mother (I think they're the owners of the place, I'm not sure). The young lady wasn't so happy. She made us throw away our Starbucks coffee cups because they don't allow it. lol. It didn't bother me, I understand, but just for others to be aware of that. The mother was very nice and smily. Food was great, too. We were visiting Michigan from another state, and this place popped on Google Maps, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'll definitely go back again when we go to Michigan next time. Definitely recommend for a good breakfast. Greek omelet was powerful.

"UPDATE: I never heard back from the manager or anyone at all. Since I have to work whenever I'm available, I wasn't able to physically drive back there that week. But why wasn't there a note left for the manager about what happened to follow up on this when they got in? This place was really great when it first opened. Speaking from experience as an F&B Hospitality Consultant, I know for a fact that the little issues often ripple out, making bigger problems, which in turn often lead to that restaurant not succeeding. I did really enjoy this in the past.Original post: Why isn't there at least an assistant manager on duty who can take care of problems when they arise? I ordered one thing and it was wrong. Twice ?. The second one I didn't notice until I was all the way back home. I ordered online through the Google Maps app, tapped on Lefty's, and then hit the order online button. I followed the prompts, made sure NOT TO ADD ANY ONIONS, then added a side of curly fries, paid online with a credit card, and went to pick it up. The price was different than what I had on my screen, and I didn't think it was mine because of that. It turned out to be mine, though. I left, got a little bit down the road, and found no fries, only mozzarella sticks (they make me sick). I turned around, got my fries after a minute, and went home. Only to find mass amounts of onions mixed into the cheese and meat. I tried to dig them out and gave up. I don't know about you, but once you've dug your fingers all through something like this, it's a nope for me. I'm not into finger food that's cold because you had to dig your fingers through it in order to make it correctly. Now, I have to spend more of my time and resources to drive up there and hopefully get this fixed? That's if I have time. Let us hope that the employee I spoke with leaves a note for the manager. Idk what happened in the past so many months, but it's not what it was when it opened."
