We were very surprised to find this gem in such a small town. Â One night, we placed an order to go to enjoy in our rental house. Â Some in our group wanted the chef's salad that was on the lunch menu. Â The owner quickly stated that he was happy to do that. Â I had the mushroom ravioli special and, even with the travel time, it was fantastic. Â I want back for a wonderful breakfast the next morning. Â We spend lots of time in Florida, and the biscuits and gravy were very Southern (in other words, yummy!). Â Easy place to recommend.
Review Source:What can be said that hasn't been said? Â Their sausage gravy is perfect? Their prices are perfect?
Walk in, and you may retch from the cuteness. Or you may be enraptured in the warm fuzziness.
What initially seems to be some kind of smarmy mid 90's "the dream is still alive" aging hippy yuppie  vibe on the part of the owners is quickly revealed as part of a seamless, flawless whole once you start eating. The people who own/run this place truly love what they are doing, and they truly love you for stopping in.
Awful Service. Â Decent food.
Had breakfast/lunch here over the weekend. Â When we arrived the restaurant was about 2/3 full and we were a party of six so we elected to sit at the counter where we could immediately be seated. Â Well, it took 40 minutes after we placed our order to get our food and no one had ordered anything exotic -- oatmeal, omelettes, french toast, and pancakes. Â During this time we watched other people who came in after us get their food before us. Â A half hour into this wait, I asked our waitress what the deal was and she said that our food was coming out right now which was not true because we waited another 10 minutes for it. Â When she finally served the food, she said that she was sorry for the delay, but we would have been much more understanding if she would have told us that early on. Â We weren't on a tight schedule, but it would have been nice to know when we could expect our meal. Â The food, upon which this rating is based, was fine. Â I would rate the service 1 star. Â Service in many breakfast/lunch places in this part of Michigan is slow and haphazard (for example, Luisa's, and Blue Plate), but this was a new low for us. Â It will be a while before we return.
We stopped here midway through a windy but beautiful thirty mile bike ride. The waitress was very nice, had info about the area, including the bike museum and the Apple Cider Century ride in September. Â The bistro has a really good feel to it. Â The counter/ bar is made from maple salvaged from the bowling alley across the street. Â The food we had (French onion soup, tomato basil soup, cookies) tasted homemade, fresh. Â The menu looked very interesting, I will definitely return. Â I thought the price was very reasonable.
Review Source:A wonderful place for any meal. Food is great with service to match. This place is a must when visiting the area. Have enjoyed many items  on the menu and never have been disappointed. Enjoyed a great time here bringing 14 family members from all over the United States during a family reunion. Everyone wants to return to this place. Make sure to add this to your place for a great meal.
Review Source:One of my favorite places in Harbor Country. The menu is minimal, however it offers something for everyone. Menu offerings are always well-priced, prepared to order with fast & friendly service.
For breakfast, you'll enjoy their oversized omelets prepared your way with many ingredient options. The Great Start is the best value in all of Harbor Country with a generous serving of eggs prepared to order, side of breakfast potatoes or fruit and a serving of toast or English muffin. Their oatmeal is awesome.
Lunch offerings include the Bistro Burger is a good-sized burger on the best toasted bun I've ever had and is paired with fries or even better...the rosemary potatoes. I enjoyed the Pot Roast Sandwich last week, served open-faced with just the right amount of gravy. The pot roast was tender and very moist.
They recently added a full-service bar and dinner service on the weekends. The dinner menu is wonderful with Steak, Chicken, Pot Roast, Seafood and Pasta options. Paired with a glass of wine, dinner pricing is a great value too!
This place was a lucky find. We were wandering the streets of Three Oaks, looking for free books and an inexpensive lunch, when I drove by Elm Street Bistro. Parking for free (!!) outside its front door, we perused the menu, deemed it satisfactory, and went in.
We arrived about 2:00pm, and the restaurant closes at 3:00pm, so we literally had the place to ourselves. It is cute and clean. We started with good coffee, and we ordered the BLT on 7-grain bread for me, and the BBQ chicken sandwich for The Ancient One.
I was already pretty hungry, so maybe I was predisposed to like my sandwich, but let me tell you, after taking the first bite of that BLT, I was ready to write a hymm of thanksgiving. That was maybe the best BLT I've ever had. Who can say if it was the special bacon, the bread, the in-season tomatoes, or even if the chef says novenas to the spirit of James Beard, but oh my God, was it good. It came with a choice of potatoes, and I took the rosemary new potatoes. They were good, but I didn't have a lot of room left after slowly eating that BLT and swooning in ecstasy between each bite. There was also a big pickle on the plate, which I enjoyed mostly - again, too full to eat the whole thing. Somehow, I managed to consume the entire sandwich.
The Ancient One was very pleased with the BBQ chicken sandwich. When it arrived, I thought, that sandwich is way too big for T.A.O., and we are going to take half of it home. Uh-uh. She ate the whole thing. She even licked her fingers. She chose the french fries as a side, and was very happy to get a pickle as well. Like me, she finished off the sandwich, but the fries and pickle were too much for her.
Reasonable prices, free parking on the street, and a sunny day. It doesn't get any better than this.
Elm Street Bistro is open for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is served all day.
Had the pleasure of having lunch at Elm Street Bistro recently. It was terrific. My wife and I had the pot roast sandwich and my daughter had the ribeye steak sandwich. Wow! Each was a least two meals and hearty,, tasty and terrific. Their house potato's were especially terrific. The ambiance was terrific and service great. I'm going to especially congratulate the owners on a very nice job in remolding the location. I love the colors, decor and especially the large and very clean open kitchen. Three Oaks and Harbor Country congrats on having a very nice new eatery in the neighborhood.
