The diner has a looooong history, back to the 1950's, has had several different owners but has churned out the same amazing food all that time! http://tinyurl.com/goldenharvestmap It's small, and you'll wait in line... but it's worth it!

I understand local and organic will be pricier, but you can get those at other local eateries and leave with a full stomach. Also, presentation was lacking, just food on a plate with no attention to making it look appealing. Service was terrible too... We were one of only two tables in the restaurant and the server never came back to top up coffee. My husband tried waving his empty coffee cup in the air for over 10 minutes before he finally gave up and finished the meal without a refill. If you haven't, you must try the Golden Harvest. Fantastic breakfast food, (much locally sourced), prepared & presented by a seasoned chef and you'll never leave hungry! Sure, you'll wait in line for table, but you'll do that at Sawyer's too...

I'm reading them as I eat my oatmeal this morning and dream of their pancakes with blueberries on top. I will definitely try them. Are there any other restaurants in the Lansing area deserving of a toot who may have not been looked at by others? Wes of The Lansing Blog Thanks for the comments, Lisa and Benny.

If you're going here for lunch, plan for at least an hour to get your food. If it's busy, you'll be much longer.

Sawyer's is on my list of places to visit soon. Sounds like a menu my husband and kids would approve of. I've heard good things and have yet to make it over there since moving back to the area. I'm on the board for Capital Area Local First (CALF) and love Sawyer's commitment to work with local businesses! Yum! Sawyer’s is on my list of places to visit soon.
