Not a huge place and always a line, but for good reason. Food is reasonably priced and portions are generous. Coffee and water flowed and the staff is extremely nice and efficient. Looking for a solid diner bfast? This is it.

Went for a Friday morning breakfast. Very small restaurant footprint (I have never a sink so small in the ladies room). But, the servings are massive! The hash brown omelette they are known for does not disappoint! The cinnamon roll was delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly. You just line up outside and wait for them to seat you.

Great spot for all the classics. Had Eggs Benedict and loved them. Everyone else loved their food as well. Toast was amazing. Great service. Good coffee.

After spending a few days in the Holland area on the way out of town, we stopped here for breakfast. There was a line on the sidewalk waiting g to get in. At first we were not going to wait but the line appeared to be moving so we parked the car (plenty of free street parking) and waited about 10 minutes for a table. It was worth the wait. I only eat eggs a few times a year but occasionally like an omelet and this was a good one, filled with ham, cheese, onions and peppers. Veggies were crisp but hot cheese melted perfectly and omelet fluffy. It came with choice of a biscuit, toast or a cinnamon roll. I usually eat something sweet for breakfast, (french toast, pancakes) so it was a win-win to be able to choose the cinnamon roll. The roll was excellent as well and huge, I took the majority of it home with me. My daughter had a breakfast sandwich, egg, sausage cheese that was also very good. We shared hash browns which neither of us were fans of. They were a bit greasy but the rest of the meal made up for it. It is an old dinner like setting with seating in booths and at the counter. They had some stuff for sale in the front of the store, t shirts, candles, some artsy stuff, etc. I would recommend.

Enjoyed breakfast here on Sunday late morning. Had to wait, but line moved quickly. Breakfast burrito, southwest skillet, French toast/eggs/bacon. Delicious. Server Fabi was great. We will be back.

It was good as the reviews said it would be. We went during Tulip Time 2024 so it was packed. We tried on Sunday but the line was out the door and we didn't want to be late for our appointment. We went back Monday morning around 9am and there wasn't a wait. Lucky for us. When we left the line was to the next shop next door. I took everyone's suggestion and got the hash brown omelet (with out toast and saved $1) with bacon. It was huge, the size of a large plate. I also ordered an egg med. the egg was a perfect medium. The omelette was delicious and is big enough to share. Service was quick and polite. We weren't rushed. I highly recommend this place. I suggest getting up early and have patience if there is a line. It's worth it.

Food: birds nest with coffee Service: great and friendly, food comes out quick Ambiance: diner vibes Parking: generally parking on 8th if it's a weekday, weekends might have to park in the lot on 9th and river Cost: $15 for items above, very affordable Overall: always come here at least once a visit

This iconic downtown Holland diner is always reliable for good diner standards. Their breakfast which is served all day is a stand out, especially the Eggs Benedict which I think are the best in Holland! Delicious light Hollandaise blankets a perfectly poached egg on top of a slice of ham and a toasted English muffin. My favorite! The hash browns today were a little greasy but still tasted yummy. It may take some time to get in some days but it's definitely worth it! Recommend to anyone visiting Holland!

A local favorite that I often overlook, Probably due to long lines. First impression was "oh it's a tiny, very noisy cafe." We were sat next to a table that felt like we were sharing the same space. Which was obvious upon seeing it and we could have waited and refused. The seats had tears in them that were noticeable to me. I am grateful for places that are locally owned and are part of family traditions. Which I think is why The Windmill is beloved. I Had the biscuits and gravy. It was good tasted like it should. Also had An order of sausage links . I didn't find them edible but my daughter had them and said they weren't as bad as I was making them out to be. So maybe my taste buds were just expecting a different flavor. Her fruit pancake roll up looked delicious and I assume other dishes would be fine. If you are staying downtown and want good basic diner food then I can recommend it. Some a la cart options help you choose less portions and make it more economical. I have no nostalgic feelings tied with The Windmill so my chances of returning are low.
