Flag City Diner

First impression not so good. There were only a handful of people dining yet there were dirty tables. When the sign says seat yourself you would think they would at least keep the tables clean. There were enough employees. Service was ok at best. The waitress seemed like she could care less if people were happy or not. Watched her address the next two tables that sat next to us as well. So it was’nt just us. The food was tolerable at most. I know its a diner but c’mon. The burger was ok. Soggy bun di to the fact they put pickles on the bottom. I ended up having to finish it off with a fork. The chili cheese fries were all from frezzer and cans. The fries were ok but from a bag and the chili and chese just straight out of the can. Yay gordon’s. Not a bad place but i dont think i will be back. There is a big boy across the street that i habe been to and they win this round. I usually like the local fare far more then chains .in the end not a bad place but for the money i’d rather get what i pay for.

Best burgers and fries around. Potato pancakes — best I’ve ever had. Great all around menu coupled with 50’s music. One of our very favorites

They changed a lot of things… coleslaw used to be thick sauced and soooo good, Now it’s watery. We used to get the Mac and cheese and fish every Friday – both taste super over cooked now.
Please bring back old recipes! We have no interest in coming again unless they go back to the classic way of how things were done. I miss my old favorite restaurant!

Flag City Diner is a solid place for breakfast in Davison. In my opinion, the lunch food isn’t as good as some other coney island style restaurants in the area though. They make a decent omelette, and I like the hash browns. The staff is always friendly, and what appears to be the owner is always busting his hump to make sure every guest is happy. Don’t bother with the corned beef hash… it is merely hash browns with a few bits of corned beef.

We were seated right away and promptly received our drink order. I tried the Polish skillet. It was excellent. SS had the eggs with sausage gravy and biscuits. It was also very good. Prices were very fair. I definitely recommend this place for breakfast.

Very clean! Which is a must for me. Try the coney omelet– very tasty for being an unexpected item menu. Good food at fair prices. Quick service as well.

Food is awesome. Service is pretty good. The way they charge and bill us was different both times we have gone so it is confusing. It’s also very much appreciated when a restaurant discounts the service man’s full bill for his family and not just his single meal, but they didn’t do that either. So we will be back for the food, but definitely not for the service or sporadic billing decisions.
First experience: one child’s milk was free. texas toast was not extra and it was offered to us, not requested. didn’t ask for military discount. party of 2 kids and 2 adults.
Second experience: child’s milk was charged. texas toast was an extra $.50. asked for active duty military discount and was given it on one meal and one coffee. party of 4 adults and 2 kids.
so they charge extra if we ask for a discount to make up for a discount?! I’m so confused.

The Diner looks real nice inside but the service is OK and the food is not so great. Ordered a burger and the bun made the meat look like a mini burger, it was dry and didn’t taste very good either. Fries were not so great either. My mom ordered fish and chips and it was a grease fest and mostly breading (not good size fish). Breakfast and coffee there is good but I’m not a fan.

Hmmm… A little confused… First time visit before New Year’s 2013, the service was fabulous and the food was too… The Monterey chicken was PERFECTLY cooked and juicy… YUM!
Went again this evening around 7:45pm. The short, long-​haired girl with her pulled-​back, reddish hair was a TOTAL SNOT. She didn’t give us a smile or speak nicely. She didn’t ask us if we wanted anything when she threw our plates of grilled whitefish down in front of us, and didn’t come back to ask if everything was okay during our meal.
I had to flag her down to ask her for some tartar sauce. Why didn’t she ask if we might like some lemon or tartar sauce with our fish when she served it?
The coleslaw was really good and so was the fish.
It was the waitresses’ crappy attitude that turned me off. We won’t go there EVER AGAIN.
When DH was done with his plate, she appeared to quickly snatch up his dish, throw the crumpled up bill on the table and then scurry off as fast as possible… before we could even say…
«WE WOULD LIKE SOME DESSERT AND COFFEE. COULD YOU BRING US A DESSERT MENU, PLEASE?»
Like a flash, she was gone.
She got a tip to match her crappy, unfriendly, unhelpful, inattentive attitude.
Skip this place. Go to the Apollo Coney Island just a bit farther north on the East side of the street. The waitstaff is SOOOO much nicer!
SOOO DISAPPOINTED!!!

I really liked the remodeled diner atmosphere and the friendly service at this spot. We stopped here for breakfast on a trip home from Grand Rapids over the summer. Just a quick exit off I-​69.
My meal choice wasn’t one I would ever make again… WAY-​TO-​THICK sausage gravy and biscuits. The only thing that helped me get some of it down was the over easy egg I had to «loosen» it up a bit. My husband liked his Mexican omelet though, so he was happy with his breakfast.
I will give this diner another try when we are headed that way again because I really liked the bright and cheery atmosphere. I’ll just make a different choice next time.

Great Diner, Big portions, and great tasting food. Went there with a large group, they hade 2 huge booths that sat a total of 16 people. The wait staff was great. I had a burger, and chili Fries, they were yummy! Friends had an Omlette that was huge!

This diner has unlimited refills! Ashley was a fan-​tastic waitress. The food is yummy. I suggest you go here.

Excellent place. The corned beef and Swiss was tender and you could tell the corned beef was clearly made there.

We visited on Sunday, April 11^th, as we were in the area at another business and found ourselves pretty hungry. A search on Google prior to our departure had directed us to another restaurant in the area, but when we saw Flag City, we knew we had to change our plans!
This place is fantastic! Retro Americana in style, with excellent portions and quality of food. We had brunch, and there were leftovers to take home. I had a platter with two eggs, hash browns, bacon, and toast, and a side of biscuits and gravy. I’ll ask for my bacon a little bit crispier next time, but that’s a matter of preference. My husband had steak and eggs with hash browns and toast — his steak was rare, just like he ordered it, and it was a nice quality cut of meat, too. The toast is made from nice quality bread, too — not cheap tiny squares, but large slices with texture and flavor. My rye was a swirl of light and dark and was an unexpected treat. Everything was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the retro-​feel booths and décor are right up my alley!
Even though we live 30 minutes away, we’ll be making the trip there again for brunches — nothing in our area compares to it. Even if you don’t live nearby, if you are traveling along I-​69 near exit #145 — M-​15/​S State Road — you should absolutely stop for a meal. They are right off the freeway, and it will be a welcome change to the chains one typically encounters while on the road.
