You know the old saying: don’t judge a book by its cover. This philosophy typically applies to restaurant exteriors, too — after all, many of the most wonderful eateries are contained within unassuming buildings. There’s one restaurant here in Michigan, though, that offers a charming exterior and a menu of equally incredible eats. Prepare for a truly magical meal.

Cheryl’s Place is located at 4683 South Old US Hwy. 23 in Brighton.
