Downie's Café

A very little tucked away restaurant with wonderful food, wonderful service — just feels so homey! I’ll definitely drive out of my way to go back here again :) I got eggs Benedict on a biscuit instead of an English muffin. With gravy on the hash browns. Everything was excellent!

Stopped here yesterday as we were heading up the coast. So glad we waited for a table. The place is small and only open until 2:00pm. The staff is very friendly and inviting. We asked what the local favorites are, and boy was I happy with the answer. She said the chicken fried steak and cinnamon rolls are a big hit. Well, she had me at chicken fried steak. It was perfectly cooked how it is supposed to be, not a frozen hockey puck dropped in the deep fryer, but actually breaded and grilled on the flat top. It was absolutely delicious along with the hashbrowns and gray. The rest of the family tried other items including a light and fluffy strawberry pancake, once again fantastic tasting, a huge club sandwich and last but not least a hand breaded chicken sandwich that my very picky son tasted and stated "This is the best tasting chicken sandwich I had". He even liked it better that other nationwide famous chicken place. The fries were incredibly tasty as well. The chef is amazing, cranking out so much delicious food in such a small kitchen. We took a cinnamon roll home and had it this morning with our coffee, it was light and very tasty, wish we got two. Give this place a try, it is worth it, we will definitely be back.

Wow, what a great diner! The eggs Benedict was unbelievably delicious. The egg & bacon sandwich was hearty and delicious. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Small restaurant but really delivered.

1st time coming and now I'll never go anywhere else. I might move to the coast just so I can come eat here. Owner truly loves what she does and you can taste it in every bite. A fantastic experience!

Stopped here on a whim, waited patiently along with the locals. I was kinda in the doghouse because I picked the place. But If the locals are waiting you know it’s good. I ordered an oyster dish that I really enjoyed and the crab cake benedict was also good. The coffee is good and hot. I was redeemed. Stop at Downie’s when you’re in Bay City, it’s worth the wait.

My kiddo asked if we could give 9 million stars! This place is AMAZING!The cinnamon roll is HUGE! And delicious! Definitely recommend!The strawberry pancakes were AMAZING! The strawberry syrup is so fresh and good!We got Marionberry pie to go and it was delicious!We will absolutely be back here again!

The food was AMAZING!! I highly recommend their homemade biscuits because they are sooo soft and good! The hashbrowns were so crispy. The hamburger was really tasty and soft and the eggs as well! The service was so quick, was seated immediately. The environment is so nice and friendly! I love the staff and service. I highly recommend this place to check out. Price is very good with the quality of food!

The folks that work here are the nicest people! So friendly and genuinely warm!Came for Sunday breakfast and hit it at the right time as there was plenty of seating. (10:15am). It soon filled up while we ate.Food came out quickly and was very well prepared. The veggie omelette was terrific and my wife enjoyed a large pancake and bacon. Even the coffee was very good.Great job by the team there and I highly recommend this place.
