What Makes a Great Easter Brunch?
My opinion is it doesn’t count as brunch unless there is a buffet and it has both breakfast and lunch items.. That makes it a true Easter feast.
Bring on the omelet station, waffle bar, carved meats like ham or prime rib, fried chicken, etc. Plus, I always loved grabbing eggs benedict from the buffet at Gandy Dancer.
If you have kids, a family-friendly brunch is the best.

Best Easter Brunch Ann Arbor – Our Experiences
We have visited several of the listed locations for brunch – either Easter or Mother’s Day in most cases. We have been out for Mother’s Day brunch more frequently than Easter, so I wanted to include those experiences as well. Unfortunately, most of our favorite Ann Arbor Easter brunches are not offering brunch in 2023.
One of my favorite Ann Arbor brunches is Gandy Dancer. I was definitely disappointed to hear that they no longer are offering Easter Brunch in 2023! We had brunch there for my daughter’s first Easter. I loved the bananas foster for their waffles and eggs benedict.

We have been to the Eagle Crest Marriott for Mother’s Day Brunch. Rather than continuous reservations, they offer several seating times when they change over the entire restaurant. We enjoyed our brunch on Mother’s Day 2015. However, like Gandy Dancer they are not offering an Easter Brunch in 2023.
Six years ago we had Mother’s Day brunch at Relish shortly after they opened. We enjoyed our meal and recommend it for either Easter or Mother’s Day. This year, they are doing their regular breakfast buffet.
We’ve also had brunch at Weber’s, but I think it was their regular Sunday brunch buffet and not a holiday buffet. I would expect the holiday buffet to be expanded from a regular Sunday buffet.
Here are a couple of great ones that we discovered years ago when MIL was still alive. We had her for every holiday and frequented buffets all over the area, just as you are doing now. These two are off the beaten path and probably cheaper, too!
Jerry’s Pub in Brooklyn, MI: A fantastic variety of traditional Easter buffet food plus the best cocktails in the Irish Hills. Right on Wampler’s Lake so it is very scenic.

Main Street Stable and Tavern in Blissfield, MI. Nice country drive (if you stay off US23) and very delicious, lovingly prepared buffet. https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/American-Restaurant/Main-Street-Stable-Tavern-61028957005/
BOTH of these locations serve Bell’s Oberon!
