We've never had anthing at Chef John's that we didn't like. We love their unusual breakfast dishes and the sandwiches and soups are delicous,too. We always buy some cinnomen rolls and pastries to take home. The last time we were there we bought a blueberry pie. It was wonderful. Everyone is friendly and we always feel at home. more

Whenever I go to Ludington (once or twice a year), I always try to stop at Chef John's. I had lunch here last week and it was delicious. I had the French Onion soup and was told that his mother made it. It was so perfect -- not greasy or salty like some you get. The chicken salad with fruit... more

we enjoyed breakfast at Chef John's on 7/25/09. Very yummy huevos rancheros. Hubby had the eggs with chipolte sauce and our daughter went wild for the corn bread.

Don't listen to the last reviewer about breakfast. My mom lives in Ludington and I when I come in for a visit, I only want to do one thing (other than lie on the beach): Eat at Chef John's.

We stayed in Ludington one night prior to our trip to Wisconsin on the SS Badger. I read good things about this restaurant on this site so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch. They close around 3:30. My wife, two kids, and I arrived at 2:00 and they still had... more

Suprised to see Chef John's here...thought it was a local secret. The absolute best sandwiches on homemade bread. My husband loves the "Carnivore" ...you can guess. I agonize over what to have every time we come here. The soups are great and we always take some lovely baked goods (cookies, etc) to go for dessert. We've even ordered sandwiches for... more
