Michigan
Birch Run
Iconic diner in Birch Run, MI is worth a stop if you find yourself on I75 north of Flint or south of Saginaw . The legendary Tony has since passed away but the new owners have kept the menu and “the feel” close to the same. I wanted my family to experience Tony’s since first visiting this off the charts eatery over 25 years ago. Anything with bacon is suggested and make sure to save room for dessert (FYI … share) Still I was missing Tony behind the counter throwing out huge handfuls of candy to all the kids adults and foodies. Warning since food portions are overwhelming, we ordered the BTL and Banana Split and had plenty to share between dad and both teenagers.
