  • "Good to find a diner atmosphere. Very friendly service and great food. Definitely love this place. I always get from the breakfast menu. Great place for families after church as well."

  • "Finish Line is the best dinner place in my hometown. Every time my family comes for a visit we have to have a big, yummy breakfast. The wait staff all know the customers and visa versa. It feels like eating breakfast at your grandma's house!"

  • "What a very friendly place and a true gem. The staff was super friendly and even though it was a Friday night at dinner we only waited 5 minutes. We got the burgers and fries and had to get the ice cream sundae and shake."

  • "We were in town for the weekend. Jessi was our server both times we were in for lunch. She was outstanding! My daughter says that Joe makes grilled cheese that is just as good as mine."

  • "Love this restaurant. I highly recommend this nice cafe. It is the closest to a home cooked meal. Love their Scalloped Potatoes! I live in Battle Creek and don't go as often as I would like to. But again, it is my favorite place to go and eat."
