My Wife, her Sister, and I eat out once a month, My sister in law told us of Carmen's, so we decided to go there, on Thursday. First off, it was easy to get too, when we entered, inside was a fresh clean smell, peaceful, and relaxing, almost as soon as we were seated, the waitress was there, with Menus, she was very polite, and dressed properly, We received our beverages right away, When we were ready to order, she was promptly there to take our order. My beverage of choice was coffee, my cup never emptied, as she came around and politely refilled it on request. Our orders arrived in a reasonable amount of time, our food was excellent, it tasted great, it was cooked properly, arranged on the plate properly, and a wonderfully proportioned meal. We were all filled and satisfied with the portions served. The meal was great, Flavor was excellent, the waitress was there with fresh napkins, as we needed. I will say, that Carmen's was the best restaurant that I have been in here in Muskegon, in the past several years! Thank you, L. T. Olson.

My wife and I stayed at the Shoreline Conference Center recently. Shoreline normally serves breakfast for a $10 charge per person but is currently not offering breakfast. So we tried Carmens for breakfast. The food was excellent with a cup of coffee that was never empty. The staff were very friendly. We will be back to Carmen the next time we get to Muskegon. The cost for breakfast was about the same as Shoreline, but Carmen has a great breakfast menu.

Carmen’s has great breakfasts and lunches. They are only open Monday-Friday and close mid afternoon. From late March to early January, three friends and I love to meet for coffee and breakfast. The weekly specials are always great and the prices are much better than most. Service is great and the staff seems to really work well together! We always say we need to try lunch but the breakfasts are always so good so we never have. Love Carmen’s for breakfast!

My wife and I visited Carmen's for the first time this afternoon for lunch. We came upon it by accident and were very pleasantly surprised. We had classic Reuben sandwiches, soup and a basket of crinkle fries. The ingredients and cooking were superlative. The portions were so generous that we could not finish it. The service was attentive such that our needs such as ketchup and drink refills were anticipated before they were needed. And the cost for the two of us was $25 - very reasonable. Thanks!

Delightful diner in downtown Muskegon. We had lunch as part of our visit to the Muskegon Art Museum. Service was efficient and friendly. The breakfast menu is served through the lunch period as well as many lunch items. I ordered the egg and corned beef hash combo which comes with toast. My friend had the Greek salad and was pleased with the freshness of the vegetables. Would definitely eat here again!

Sat down with about an hour to enjoy a quick breakfast. I had a several cups of coffee and my daughter had an orange juice. Great start. Then I ordered the Greek omelette and it was the most enjoyable Greek omelette with Tazaki sauce I have ever had. This is a go to item. Highly recommended.

I do not ever write bad reviews because I know people have bad days and things can happen, but I went to breakfast with my friend today, and we received the worst service I have ever seen. Maybe this lady had a bad day, but she did the absolute bare minimum. She dropped our food off and ran off didn’t say a word. She never refilled our drinks or got what we asked for another waitress had to. She dropped our bills off before we even started eating, again didn’t say a word. She never asked about how our food was or anything. She only had one other table besides us. My potatoes weren’t done and I couldn’t even tell her about it because she never came back (I still had to pay for them even without eating them). Other than that the food was okay, but we even said something to the owners husband and he didn’t even ask any questions or tried to make it better by even apologizing. He just said “oh”. AND the tables were not social distanced and they didn’t wipe down any of the salt, pepper or sugars on the tables.

We were catching the ferry to Milwaukee, and because the hotel was not serving breakfast, they recommended Carmen's. We were not disappointed. You could tell this was a great place because of all the "regulars" who were there. Most people knew everybody. Had the special omelet of the day--jack cheese, spinach, ham, mushrooms, and only 2 eggs. I think 3 eggs is overkill for an omelet. This was just the right size. And really good rye toast. The staff was very efficient and helpful. We would certainly go back if we are ever in Muskegon again.

My wife had an incorrectly cooked steak on multiple visits. Eventually, instead of making it medium rare, they refused to even make her a steak. Never going back. Carmen is rude.

Excellent food and service. Friendly waitress that attended to our needs. I had a fish sandwich on rye bread and strawberries. The food was well prepared and appetizing. Cute 50s pictures on the wall.

I had the best omelette ever here called the Emerald Isle Omelette. We ate there both mornings if our weekend trip and all 8 of us were happy. Carmen uses all fresh ingredients and truly passed my critical taste buds!

Delicious food, super friendly team/staff, fantastic value! You'll be full of great food at a fraction of the cost of most lake town restaurants. Kudos to this gem!

On a business trip and hotel not serving breakfast. Carmen's was great. Was able to wait inside after ordering carryout. Staff was pleasant and offered substitutions. Good food and a pleasant experience.

Fantastic food and service! We love the breads but everything we've tried here is excellent. Casual and comfortable diner atmosphere in downtown Muskegon.
