Dime Store

I had the original Dime Store on my list for a while, but never managed to get out there. Then this new location opened up and I knew I had to give it a go. It's a cute place that's attached to the market next door. The ceilings are nice and high, but it's not overwhelmingly noisy inside. The servers were really friendly and got us a seat right away. The menus have a good selection without being overwhelming, and there are specials as well. While we were waiting for our food (which came out quick), Mitchell, one of the owners came over and offered us a cinnamon roll that they made that morning "for funsies". That was an awesome interaction, and he came over a few other times to check on us. The food came out, and it was awesome. My Benny was amazingly tasty, and I'd definitely get it again. My only quibble was that the bottom of the English muffin was a little over-toasted, but that was really minor. My daughter was really impressed by the malted waffle, it was nice and brown and crispy. The extra strawberries were ripe and delicious. We will definitely be back to Dime Store, it's a home run for brunch!

My friend and I decided to grab brunch at Dime Store yesterday morning, and fortunately we were seated immediately at around 11:30 AM. It was quite busy, but our server brought us water and took our orders fairly quickly. However, we didn't get our food until 12:15 PM, and during this time, the server barely checked in. After finishing, we had to flag her down to close the bill.CHEESESTEAK BENNY - 17Each order comes with a side of house breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit, or side salad. I chose the potatoes, and that turned out to be a mistake. They were stale and hard to eat, almost as if they had been made earlier and left forgotten. The first cheesesteak benny I tried was pretty tasty -- the combination of cheesesteak, white cheddar, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce created hearty and rich bites. However, I wasn't sure if it was just because I was hungry after waiting so long for my food. The second benny was much blander compared to the first. The English muffin was soggy, even though I finished my platter within 12 minutes, so the sogginess is not due to slow eating.My friend got the SPICY CUBAN RICE BOWL, which she thought was just OK. Overall, the food was pretty mediocre, and the service was slow and inattentive. We had high hopes for Dime Store but left a bit disappointed.

A little slice of Detroit in Rochester Hills!! This location is larger than the Detroit location & is located partially inside the grocery store. The upstairs seating overlooks the store. I loved the eggs Benedict & was able to substitute bacon & add avocado. My grandma was so happy that they had a short stack on the menu so she wasn't overwhelmed with too many pancakes lol. My mom really raved about the scallion cream cheese on her salmon Benny.

I have a new favorite here.. Pork Burger. The peach scallion jam is to die for. it's on the Chef's Special board.. yummy. Also- pairs well with a spicy Bloody Mary! Happy Friday! Busy but not slammed on a Friday afternoon

Took my son to the new place at the Papa Joe's complex that now inhabits what used to be Grand Traverse Pie Company. This complex seems like it always has massive turnover on restaurants. Hopefully, this one fares better.The Dime Store has other Detroit locations too, so they aren't starting from scratch and seem to have a decent reputation. The place looks nice and it's interesting how they changed the bones of the old place. The decor is fitting with giant currency painted on the walls. I'll admit to not knowing what the coins are supposed to be, but they aren't dimes. Or FDR is looking really odd these days.Let's get the worst part out of the way. The table seating is awful. I know I have enough padding on my butt, but the seats were not pleasant to sit in. If I'm sitting on my jacket... and taking a picture of the seat...well please change it, ASAP.My son had the Belgian waffle with fruit which was quite good. I had a salmon sandwich with a nice dill sauce and a side of fruit. Healthy eating isn't always as fun, but if it helps me watch my kids grow up...well, you do the thing that has to be done.Prices are about what you expect, just a little higher than they might should be. But such is life.A good lunch and worthy of returning. But please change out those seats.

Yum! Went for brunch on a Saturday at noon, we were seated immediately. The service was ok, the menu was fun and unique and the food was great! I got the biscuits with bacon gravy, the biscuit was SO good. My husband got a southern burger and fries, he said the burger was good not great but the fries were fantastic. It seems like they locally source a lot of not all of their food. Would recommend!

The place has a nice feel but kind of pricey along with $4 coffee that is not even good. Don't mind the higher price if the food is great but it's just ok...I had the corn beef hash and the presentation was great but carrots and brussel sprouts?? The coffee is $4 and it wasn't really hot and had a sour aftertaste. My wife had the Mushroom Goat Cheese omelette and that was actually pretty good but again not great but ok for $15. The corn beef hash at $18 needs to do better.

Was so excited to hear they opened this location! And glad I finally got a chance to try it. The Detroit location always has a minimum 1.5 hour wait for Sunday brunch, but here we walked in 15 minutes before closing and were seated immediately, and all staff were extremely kind and accommodating even though they were closing soon. We ordered the Spicy Korean Fries, Cold-Smoked Salmon Benny, and Mexican Street Corn Hash. We added shredded "fiesta" chicken to the Mexican Street Corn Hash and it was absolutely delicious; it was hard to choose, but it was our favorite dish of the three. Have been many times to the Detroit location, but this spot is definitely my new favorite. Can't wait to go back

Let me start with thanking Paul for his awesome service! The wait was minimal to get a table for Sunday brunch.This location has two levels. Once you go up the stairs to the second floor you are overlooking Papa Joe's Market. This would be ideal for a larger party gathering. We dined on the first floor where it was a little loud which is partially because of the high ceiling and a full house of brunchers.My sorority sister and I were both at this location for the first time so we opted for two of the chef's specials. We love to eat! I settled on the Spinach Artichoke Omelette with potatoes and multi-grain toast. It was delicious. I must say I had a succulent meal. My sister tried the Apple Pancakes and a side of potatoes. Thumbs up!

We visited the new Rochester location after we heard about it on social media. It's located in the old Grand Traverse Pie Co space at Rochester Road and Tienken. It was easy to find and there is plenty of parking in the lot. The restaurant is very open with high ceilings so the noise level seems somewhat high. It was crowded and there was a wait for a table so we opted to sit at the bar where there were plenty of seats. The staff is super friendly and we're quick to serve us coffee and water. I like having a sweet item with eggs and bacon but they have a very limited number of sweet items on the menu. We ordered the spinach artichoke omelette and the honey peach French toast - both were specials. The omelette was very good - not overly stuffed so you could taste the egg. It came with hash browns (the small square kind) which were cooked perfectly. It also came with a choice of bread so I got an English Muffin that came toasted. The portions are large so I didn't finish it all but I didn't have a heavy feeling in my stomach either - it was a "good" full. My husband had the French toast and it was really good but a bit heavy on the whipped cream on top. I like that there are more new brunch places popping up in the area creating more options but we had a great meal and enjoyed the ambience so we'll return.
