Some say, and I would too, that it is worth the wait. The quaint, petite cottage opens up to a row of cozy booths adorned with red-and-white-checkered curtains and lit candles in the windowsill. A low, swooping counter curves out into the center of the restaurant and what caught my eye was piled up on one end, a stack of trays overflowing with warm, doughy muffins that seemed to be bursting with berry goodness. The menu is small but comfortable, offering the typical breakfast fare of omelets, pancakes and french toast. They seem to do things simply at Ida's, but they've perfected the simplicity. The scrambled eggs are fluffy, soft and cooked to delicious perfection. The multi-grain pancakes provide a dense but savory meal, made sweeter when topped with the fresh tartness of boysenberries. Surrounded by warmth, friendliness and comforting, familiar food, Ida Red's feels like home. A home I have to wait to get into, but home nonetheless.

Skipping breakfast is unacceptable, especially if Ida Red's is near.
Everyone in Saugatuck, MI knows where the best breakfast in town is, and it's obvious. Arrive after the 9 a.m. mass lets out on any given Sunday and you'll find yourself waiting on a line that curls out the door and around the building.
