1. The Hearthstone Oven

Made from scratch bakery items such as bread, cinnamon rolls, cookies etc. Restaurant serves breakfast and lunch.

This is a breakfast and lunch diner and bakery, owned and operated by local Mennonites. I only mention that last part because it's on the menu they hand out, and all the women are dressed in that custom. We had a club sandwich and grilled chicken salad, and completed our meal with a shared slice of the raspberry cream pie. Delish! They were understandably busy the day we were there but the operation ran smoothly and efficiently. We would go out of our way to go back to The Hearthstone.

The last two times we ate there, the food was questionable. Ordered a steak and shrimp, the steak was okay but the shrimp was heavily breaded and the breading was soggy and tasteless. Also, the next time we ordered the fried chicken, and it was less than warm and cold and dry. No taste to it at all. One of us had the hot beef sandwich and he really liked it, it was warm and a big serving so that he had left over to take home. The servers were friendly, however, the one we had referred to me as "honey", or "hon" or "sweetie". I get offended at that greeting and prefer to be called "sir". That is just my thing.

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for beer tasting. No other alcohol options than beer, bummer for those who don't like beer. They have 4 beers of their own and several Mountain Town beers. The 4 Alma Brewing beers were quite good, so I'll probably go back at some point to try their new creations. They had a decent menu but we didn't eat.

Our son is planning to go to Alma College next year. We heard about Francesco's from the parent of another student that is currently attending Alma. We went there that day and have gone every time we go back to visit which has been about six times now. The food is fantastic. Chicken parmesan is my favorite. The bread is great. Salads are great. And the prices are very reasonable. We will continue to stop every time we go.

Just passing through to get gas on the road to Petosky. Hubby said it was the BEST burger ever! The "meat to bun ratio" was perfect! Hahaha
I had the pulled pork nachos, which were amazing. I wasn't expecting BBQ pulled pork but it was so good!
Very "CHEERS" like setting.
Most adorable waitress award, too!

Stopped at this McDonald's on my way north on Rt-127. Used the drive-thru to order breakfast. The food was delivered as soon as I got to window 2 after paying at window 1. The order was correct as ordered and the food was hot and taste. Will stop here again.

My husband and I had planned on eating here the night Alma had their Downtown Christmas celebration, but it was super busy so we decided to try it another day. We really enjoyed the square pan-pizza (love the crunchy crust!). We ate our pizza in the restaurant and my only complaint was the larger dining room was closed, probably because the restaurant wasn't busy at that time of day. So we had to sit in the smaller room, and every time the door opened a blast of cold air came inside. It would have been much more comfortable eating in the larger room.

Great selection of hand dipped and soft serve ice cream! They also have a small food menu. Staff was nice and the place was very clean. Lots of room to sit inside or outside. Good prices for your portions too.

Carry out or dine in pizza, grinders, salads, soups and a whole lot more. Catering available to businesses. Bread mixed from scratch and baked daily.
Reviewed By Tarainjag - Macomb, Michigan
After a long and hot day at the Scottish Games, we found Mancino's. It was clean and AC cool. The pizza is made to order so it took maybe 20 minutes. According to my parents, the regular pizza was delicious. The gluten free pizza was good too -- hard crust, tasty, and good toppings. We ordered hot wings to go and they delivered it to the table for us. We would return.
