It was our last day at traverse city-visiting from Chicago. Having taste all the great delicious breakfast food chicago has to offer, it's always a challenge to find "Chicago-taste" this place did not do it for my family. I ordered the traditional eggs, sausage, and hash browns and I have to stay it was by far one of the worst... More

We were looking for a non-chain place to have breakfast, followed the TripAdvisor tips and found Rounds. What a nice surprise! It excelled in so many ways. We had the Neptune special - cod over hash browns in a hollandaise sauce. OMG! It was amazingly good. It came with two eggs and two pancakes which is enough food for any... More

The staff and decor of this little restaurant are what made it for me. We sat in the front and were entertained by the waitresses conversing with the locals. Servers were very attentive & friendly. The food is good, nothing out-of-the-ordinary, but the perfect "bacon & eggs"-type meal to start off a weekend morning with. We will definitely go back... More

The service was quick and pleasant, but the food was nothing to write home about. Doubt I will return.The sausage gravy was bland, the biscuits crumbly, and the hash was just ok

I had the country fried steak with country gravy, potatoes, eggs and toast. It's a lot of food and very good. Homemade bread and jam. Service was great and I felt very welcomed as the only black person there at the time.

No kidding...with actual chunks of corned beef seasoned and cooked to perfection! YUM! The owner of our motel recommended this place for breakfast or lunch and they were RIGHT ON! Wonderful service, quaint diner type atmosphere where the locals certainly know they have a good thing. If you like Corned Beef, in ANY form...check this place out!

We went to Rounds this morning looking for a good "greasy spoon" for breakfast. We were at first a little put off by the cold bean soup we were served, but ya know, that happens NBD. Next she asked if we needed an extra plate as we were sharing, we said no, she brought one any way for which we... More

Their omelettes are always paper thin and fully packed. Thats all we ever have there and they are wonderful. Never have to ask for well done potatoes because they always are. Good coffee, friendly staff. We've been several times and never had a bad breakfast.
