Double Ee Restaurant

Nice little place for quick bite service was fast and nice portions had the fish and chips fish had a nice taste and was not over cooked.

Like family made a lot of friends there and the food is excellent. The owner is awesome just needs be open after 400pm closes to early.

Really solid diner food. Huge omelette and portion sizes (I have enough for more meals!), and the waitstaff never let my coffee cup go empty.

My family and I went to dinner here last week, mostly because of location (aka we were driving by, and we were hungry, and it was better than the whole «I don’t know, what do YOU want for dinner?» discussion). Here’s the breakdown:
The good: I ordered chicken fried steak (my guilty pleasure food) — and it was delicious! The breading on the steak was crispy and well seasoned, the gravy on the top was creamy and full of peppery goodness, and the mashed potatoes that was served with the meal were real. I’m picky about mashed potatoes, and these were delicious. My daughter ordered a grilled cheese and fries and seemed happy with her decision (she’s 7, and easy to please).
It’s a small diner with outdated décor, but I love places like that, so it was just fine with me. The place was completely empty when we got there, except for a few people at the counter. By the time we left, it was completely full — so I guess we were a bit early for the dinner crowd (at 7 pm!). The food is moderately priced (not cheap like most diner food) — but I loved my meal, so it was good with me. Also, my meal came with a salad or soup, AND a free dessert, so you get a lot of food for your money.
The bad: The salad that came with my meal was bland (wilted lettuce, glopped on ranch, etc). My boyfriend ordered a cheeseburger, and said it was just ok, nothing special. He cleaned his plate though, so I’d consider that a win. Also, it was hard to get the waitress’s attention for things like refills; no big deal, but a little frustrating.
Overall, I enjoyed it, and I’ll definitely be back… probably for breakfast for next time!

Service: always great. Lovely waitresses.
Food: Healthy Omelette is big and fresh and full of spinach, mushrooms and feta. I get it every time I dine. French toast is nicely done and sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
Overall I will always go back for a delicious and satisfying breakfast after working all night.

In the past 16 months since first going to this place I have been there once a month… um…like…that would make it 16 except I have gotten two carryout orders also. OMG… like…that makes 18 times in the past 16 months… lol. I know I made it like sound like totally horrible 80’s style like !!!
Each time was for breakfasts. Love them. Fast Service. Low cost, NOT cheap food. Probably have had half of the breakfast menu. Really like the Mac-​N-​Cheese Omelette, Country Breakfast Special, and Country Fried Steak and Eggs.
Take a look at the pics of the menu I posted, sorry they do not have it online.
Thumbs Up !!!

Always friendly waitresses! Hot food & great coffee! Come hungry, always big portions!

I love this place. Great little family restaurant. Good food fair priced and great service. Especially on Monday & Wednesday !! ;)

I am not going to lie to you, this place is good.
There breakfast special board had so many options it made me happy. This includes the mac and cheese omelet I got. The service was great. Even for being super busy the waitress kept stopping by and had a smile on her face the entire time.
There was too much food on my plate to even finish. The toast was just alright.
It is very busy and not worth waiting in line for.
Bonus: they have multiple hot sauces for you to choose from.

Have driven past this place a thousand times. Was in a pinch and passing the place, ran in for some Chicken Noodle soup. It was pretty tasty! As far as dining in, space seems limited. But the service for a walk in carry out (granted it was soup) was quite quick. I’ll try again sometime.

Pretty standard diner fare as it goes but it likely won’t be as packed as the more notable diners on the strip, and the food is legit. I had the 222 (two eggs, two pancakes, two sausage links and two strips of bacon plus toast and I added an order of hash browns). Yes it was a ton of food but I didn’t realize it came with pancakes until they arrived which was a happy mistake because they were delicious! The eggs were so so and the hash browns could’ve used a little more crispiness but I’d come back. The menu is large enough that you’ll find something you like and prices were reasonable while our server was friendly and quick with refills.

My girls and I have been going here for months now. The waitresses are great. It’s small but has a real home feeling. The food is great if you like the coney feel.

This place was shockingly good. It reminded me a lot of Winky’s from Mulholland Drive, but not in a scary way (I didn’t look behind the dumpster, though). They have a giant menu of what I’ll call ‘home food’. The greek salad I had was 1,000 times better than others I’ve had at way fancier, more expensive places. Everything was so fresh. Well done, Double EE. I can even overlook the redundancy in your restaurant’s name.

Great for breakfast. Parking lot is a little tricky.

My wife finally got a day off! I wanted to wake her up to breakfast in bed so i went to this restaurant and got her a breakfast to go. The food was bland, the bisquets and gravy tasted really really bad, soggy hash browns etc. She barely touched it… I will never go back to this place… Waste of our hard earned money to be honest.

This is your small, greasy diner. Large portions, small prices. I only go for breakfast so I really do not know how the non breakfast items. I’ve had fair to good service. I recommend anything with eggs. My friend had the biscuits and gravy and thought they were just okay. They are one of the few places that have American fries (thin sliced and fried potato) instead of hash browns or cubed potatoes which are better in my opinion. The omelets are huge. They come with potato and toast. One order can feed two people. My brother loves this place because one of their breakfast plates comes with three types of meat.

Great food, great service, great everything! Go there!
But these B*****ds treat their employees like #2.
SO that’s why they get two stars from me. Treat your employees like crap in front of a loaded dining room? Not funny, not cool and very embarrassing to that poor waitress! I do not care if she is your relative, that’s public humiliation!
I cannot stress enough however how great the food is and how LARGE of a portion you’ll get esp breakfast!

Mac and Cheese Omelette!!!
Ok, now that I have your attention, let’s get things under way!
Double EE is a staple to HP/​Ferndale border… before Ferndale actually gets «cool». Between I 75 and Hilton, this place has been around for years and years. Ahem… it’s a little geared toward those of the «geriatric persuasion» Ahem.
If you don’t get that, it means much of it’s clientele are old (er) people. Jeez, make me spell it out for you why don’t ya!
My sister, nephew and I did our Saturday brunch and this is where we ended up.
Haven’t been here in a while so sounded like a good idea. I was just craving eggs, potatoes and bacon, and I know they do that right.
When we got there, luckily there were 2 booths left… Oh yeah, the place is TINY!
I grabbed a menu and started looking. I asked my nephew what he was having and he says «Mac and cheese omelette».
SAY WHAATT???
He points to the 2 specials boards above the counter.
OHHHHHHHH!!! Holy effing shit!!!
They have wonderful yummy sounding specials!!! 2 boards worth!
Mac and cheese is one of my favorite foods. How could I NOT try this?
And honestly, it was pretty decent! The eggs were fluffy, mac wasn’t overcooked, and you get a choice of meat in it, I had bacon (yum!) and you still get potatoes and toast on top of that. It looked like I barely touched it after I ate til I was full!
Another thing to note is most of their egg breakfasts are 3 egg, which isn’t always the norm. Sister loves that for her dippin eggs!
I don’t think it was slow, it was timed out fine. The waitress was nice, and even remembered to notice refills, even in the brunch rush. So, I say yay!
Bill was cheapo!!! Mine was like $ 8.00 plus tip and I had A LOT of leftovers!
/​Brunchy!!!

John and I have been going to the Double E ever since we’ve lived in Ferndale (5 years), and I’ve never been that impressed with it, but it’s a quality place. When we first started going for breakfast we found that the service just wasn’t good. It was slow, unfriendly, slow and SLOW. We used it strictly as a take-​out only place because of this. Slowly it fell out of our rotation for weekend breakfast. We attempted again a couple years ago, and it’s a lot better — not amazing, but much better.
The breakfasts are good. Perfect greasy breakfast, big omelettes, generous portions and quick to refill the coffee. I’ve only had a non-​breakfast meal there once, a chicken finger pita, and it was GREAT. The pancakes are especially good.
The service is still kinda lame. It’s much quicker, but they’re not that friendly. I hate when you go into a restaurant and you’re treated barely adequately, but when a familiar face walks in the whole staff lights up and kisses their ass. I’d say for the last few months, John and I have been going atleast every other weekend, if not every weekend. I feel that puts us in «semi-​regular» status. I would appreciate at least a familiar «hey guys» or that sort of recognition of semi-​regularity. Especially since I’m a 20−25%+ tipper, as well as beyond friendly to all staff. While this annoys me, I’ll continue to go for breakfast but I’ll just dial down my tipping and niceness.

This is a Hazel Park/​Ferndale classic. The menu is kind of hit-​or-​miss, so its not really worth driving for, but it has a strong place in the community, so if you are a local, you are definitely familiar with it.
I’m not sure how relevant ordering suggestions are for this place since the customer base is mainly repeat locals, and I think first meals here are pretty rare, but if you do find yourself here, go for the country omelet with sausage gravy on top, and avoid the knackwurst.
