Located in the heart of Manistee, Michigan, inside the historic former Captain's Café building, Diner 31 is a cozy and welcoming 45-seat restaurant offering a fresh take on classic American comfort food. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., we proudly serve hearty breakfast and satisfying lunch options in a relaxed, down-home atmosphere that feels like a second home.
Our extensive breakfast menu features both the beloved staples and bold, flavorful favorites. Whether you’re in the mood for our signature Loaded Biscuits & Gravy, the tropical twist of a Bahama Waffle, or one of our six unique varieties of Eggs Benedict, we’ve got something to please every palate.
When lunch rolls around, you’ll find homemade soups, freshly prepared sandwiches, wraps, baskets, and craft burgers that go beyond the basics. Fan favorites include the Peanut Butter Bacon Burger, Hawaiian Burger, and the indulgent Steakhouse Burger. Feeling adventurous? Take on the Nice Try Burger—a towering creation featuring three 1/3 lb patties stacked with cheeses, crispy bacon, grilled onions, sautéed mushrooms, and a fried egg, all served deluxe.
Every dish is made with care, combining family recipes, fresh ingredients, and our own creative flair. In fact, our daily features often showcase off-menu specialties that bring something new and exciting to the table each visit.
In 2019, Diner 31 was honored as the Voter's Choice Winner at the Taste of Manistee, a proud reflection of the love our community has for the food and service we deliver.
Don’t forget to pair your meal with our freshly brewed coffee, flavored cappuccinos, or a cozy cup of hot chocolate—perfect for any Michigan morning.
At Diner 31, we’re more than just a place to eat. We’re a place to gather, connect, and enjoy good food made with heart.
