Great Interstate Diner on Michigan's I-94 Do you plan on driving westbound on I-94, mid-morning back from Detroit or Ann Arbor? Than put "115 Restaurant" as a breakfast stop. My son was recovering from the wedding the night before, he was hungry, but he didn't want another McDonald's, Burger King or fast food place. "Turn here. Get off at exit 115. This is what I want to try." Like father like son I guess :) It's not fancy. This morning it looked more like a nursing home cafeteria (heck, I'm 10 - 15 years from the nursing home myself). But the waitress was older than me, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. "You want the senior citizen special? Sure thing. You don't look that old." Fritz - Double-bacon BLT, french fries, mozzarella sticks. Dad - Biscuits and gravy with two eggs. Honest down home B & G. My wife makes the best B & G in the world so it's hard for a restaurant to compete. But 115 Restaurant does a good job. Mom - A ham salad sandwich. It was just OK. 12 ONION RINGS. My wife said it was odd. Why are they selling "12" onion rings, why that number? Who cares. My wife (whose family ran a restaurant, who makes great food herself) said they were the best home-made onion rings she ever tasted. At the end of breakfast I looked at my son and said, "How about dessert?". He turned to the waitress and asked about dessert. She said: "Honey, the best thing we've got is apple crisp with ice cream smothered in melted caramel sauce and chocolate sauce. If it were me, I'd get that." We did. Fritz ate most of it but let his parents nibble and the humongous dessert. My wife said the dessert was "fabulo". Truck stop ambiance, fantastic onion rings and dessert, good food, friendly service. If you're travelling I-94 through Michigan, I hope you find your way to "115 Restaurant". It will always be a good memory and a story told in my family. And best of all, "like father like son". It's the restaurant I would have chosen if I was 25 years old looking for a friendly truck stop diner.
