Can’t say enough great things about this place! From the food to the staff and building you are in for a great treat! Everything was just like back at Mamas house! We even ordered the Large Pizza Pancake! Yes! A Pancake the size of a Large Pizza with different flavors! Prices are great and the staff were quick and attentive! If you’re ever in search of a Joint to eat or in the Swanton area, definitely don’t skip this place!

Food was absolutely what you'd expect from home style cooking. One of the best Mushroom Swiss Burgers I've ever had, and the portions are huge! Our waitress Carissa was nothing short of amazing as well.

I had the luck of finding Deette's over a year now. I have always had a great experience. They are always welcoming no matter how busy they are. The food is great. It's definitely a place that's tough to beat. Always my "Go-To" spot.

Our first time at Deette's was amazing! Deette knows her food - This is the best place I've found for breakfast in the Toledo area by far. Thank you Deette :)

Always great food when we go! You get more than what you pay for! The portions are large. The pancake is about the size of a large pizza & the kids pancake is huge for being on the kids menu.

Waitress is wonderful, friendly, fun and remembers everything. Handled a breakfast rush of tables without getting stressed. Small place. Food is excellent. Pumpkin pancake made with real pumpkin, delicious. Needs no syrup. Child size is huge! Eggs cooked just right.

Great Friday lunch experience. Friendly and fast service; tasty, fresh foods. Ingredients were fresh and portions were large. Everything done just right. Extremely clean inside; smaller seating area but plenty of space to be comfortable. Prices fair, especially with current food prices. Lovely experience. Definitely will visit again!
