The Bomber Restaurant in Ypsilanti, a small diner honoring WWII veterans and women in service. Walking into The Bomber felt like stepping into a time capsule. Parking was conveniently available at the back, where a stunning floral mural added a touch of artistry to our visit. The restaurant was decked out in authentic WWII memorabilia, from vintage photos to model airplanes, creating a unique, nostalgic atmosphere that was both fascinating and cozy. The aviation-themed decor was a hit with my kids, who were captivated by the model airplanes suspended from the ceiling, making our meal even more memorable. The menu was all about classic American comfort food, served in generous portions that lived up to the restaurant's reputation. The all-day breakfast menu (available until the kitchen closed at 3 PM) made it a fantastic choice for any time of day. The staff's thoughtful recommendations on portion sizes especially for kids, helped ensure we enjoyed our meal without unnecessary waste. During our visit, we indulged in a variety of dishes: * Bomber Burger: Juicy and satisfying, it was a must-try for burger enthusiasts. It came with a choice of curly or regular fries. * Chocolate Hazelnut French Toast: A decadent delight, perfectly sweet and indulgent. * Grilled Liver and Onions: A nostalgic comfort food classic, done just right. Paired with sweet caramelized onions, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, and gravy, it was a standout dish. * Bomber Grilled Chicken: While this dish was okay, it didn't quite shine compared to the others. It was served with curly fries. The fries whether regular or curly were crispy and seasoned to perfection, making them the ideal side to any dish. The portions were huge, and the prices were very reasonable. The service was friendly and efficient, even during a busy weekend morning. The staff handled the crowds with a smile, ensuring everyone felt welcome. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Tried the famous "Bomber's" in Ypsi this past weekend. I go by the idea of getting what restaurants are known for, so I knew I was getting the Captain Crunch French Toast. I thought it was really good! I did want the cereal to shine a bit more, but it can be hard when there is syrup and whipped cream involved. My friends decided to stray off the beaten path and were disappointed with the hash browns and potatoes in their meals. If they fried those up a bit more, I think their meals would've been delish too! Our server was incredibly nice and attentive and we were sat pretty fast, which I heard is unusual. The decor is all war-related, which is no surprise when you know the name is called "Bomber".

At the recommendation of several locals we tried The Bomber and happy we did. Place was a small local dinner, showing respect to the women during WW2 and its military service. It was clean, busy and staff friendly. I had the Bomber Omelet and the wife had pancakes. Both were fantastic and filling and priced within reason. I'm not local but I recommend the place myself now.

I came here for the first time 7 years ago with my then boyfriend. It was fun coming back with my now husband! 7 years ago I didn't live in Michigan yet and my husband surprised me with breakfast and a day trip to Mackinac. This is the perfect place if you love good food, history, or someone that loves aviation. All of the above, even better! We went flying yesterday morning and since we were starving, at least me, we decided to hit up Bombers! We got in right before they close. They stop serving food 15 mins before they before. close. We got there 30 mins before they closed and snagged a booth. We ordered the Mexican omelette and the homemade corned beef (option to order canned corned beef too). Portions are huge! My husband and I had takeout boxes for our leftovers. If you're able to check out this diner, make sure to spend some time looking at all the history. Pretty amazing seeing how much is captured in that restaurant. Fun fact: Bombers was on the food network in 2003!

I love diners. There's always something on the menu for everyone and the decor often harkens back to a time when life was simple. The theme of this particular establishment appears to be aviation (hence the name). I was immediately feeling good about my decision to eat here. Since I was craving fried fish I decided on the fish and chips, which happened to be that day's lunch special. My server was very attentive and brought all my items in a timely fashion. As far as food is concerned I was satisfied overall. The fried cod was good/average with the tarter sauce being a little disappointing. I think the one thing I didn't care too much for was the very runny coleslaw. It tasted fine, but just soggy and obviously needed a plate underneath to catch the excess. Aside from that I'm sure the restaurant has other great menu items I would like to come back and try later.

I had been living in Ann Arbor for about 10 years before my husband realized I'd never been to the Bomber in Ypsi. He was shocked and we immediately made a plan to go on a Saturday afternoon. I prepared by looking at the photos on Yelp and decided that I was going to go big for my first visit and went with the Sunrise Biscuit, a biscuit layered with sausage patties, two eggs, American cheese, and topped with country gravy. My husband went even more over the top with the Bomber Omelet, a combination of four eggs plus ham, sausage, bacon, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and several slices of American cheese. Potatoes for both of us and an order of french toast to split for good measure. It was all so good! Nothing fancy but perfect the comfort food. Plus cheap and the portion sizes were absolutely wild. And the servers were just incredibly friendly. We got there right before close and they were still so welcoming and warm. The interior is also fun to look at, as it's basically an homage to the Willow Run bomber plant that operated in town during WW2. You'll find tons of memorabilia all over including newspaper clippings, photos, model planes, military uniforms, etc. My husband is a big airplane nerd and he loves taking it all in! I can tell you it won't be another decade before we return!
