MUSKEGON, MI - Over the last decade, Tootsie’s Diner became a beloved community staple of Muskegon, serving up a variety of flavorful dishes in welcoming atmosphere. Since July 2022, new co-owners Dominic Lee and Arrington Lecompte revamped Tootsie’s Diner into The Diner on Hackley, where most of the menu is focused on unique burger creations and gourmet shakes. He quickly learned regular customers who ate at the diner for years weren’t too happy about the change in ownership and the introduction of new menu items. “We originally kept it running as Tootsie’s first,” Lee said. And mouthwatering shakes like the “Death by Chocolate” for $5 is a recurring order at The Diner on Hackley.
