35 Best American Restaurants in Bay City

“I had breakfast there with a friend this morning. Everything was great. Service was awesome. I do recommend having someone on standby for big parties. One server and he was hustling, yet some people were left waiting. The food was awesome. I recommend the banana parfait! The eggs and hash browns looked wonderful! I plan to bring my husband soon. We may have just found our new breakfast spot.“

“this ice cream place is fantastic! super nice people and the ice cream was top notch!“

“This has turned into one of my son and I’s favorite brunch spots. We both love the eggs Benedict and sunrise pancakes. The service is friendly, especially if you sit at the bar.“

“Enjoyed a lunch date with my Dad. He and my Mom used to go all the time, and they loved the people and the food. First day of the year today serving food, chicken cordon bleu, sandwich with bacon, cheese and apples. Carmel apple dessert was delicious!“

“Our family had a great experience there April 16th. The staff was very friendly, food was good and the restaurant was very clean. It was a very satisfying family experience. It is a very well managed restaurant. I worked with managers Daniel and Jim to help out with our large group and they work great.“

“Wow. The renovations of Heatherfields didn't stop at the truly decor (which was absolutely beautiful).

I got the Smoked Pork Sweet Potato Hash for breakfast and it was truly one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Packed with flavor and so so tasty. Wish I took a picture because it was plated wonderfully as well!

The staff was so kind and friendly - Eric was attentive, gave good recommendations, and was just overall a really pleasant person to interact with at 7am.

10/10 recommend.“

“Awesome food, great people, clean and a real hometown feel!!“

“Loved the steak sandwich and lobster tacos! Super clean inside, great staff and service - we’ll be back.“

“The food was good, though the pastrami sandwich being cold was a surprise. Still good, but maybe better descriptions in the menu?

The service was EXCELLENT, despite a rocky start where the server who initially greeted us abandoned us for some reason. The new server was patient as I debated side options and even offered a sample of the coleslaw to help me feel comfortable with my decision.

The beer selection was good, the parking was ok and the restaraunt was clean. Will definitely go again!“

“Just there, food was excellent, prices are great, and you get more than enough to eat. Fish dinners are very good, and the sides are too. Will definitely be back“

“On a recent trip to Bay City we found a gem. Suzie Qs Breakfast Nook stood out from the neighborhood surrounding it. A stop inside yielded a atmosphere adorned with Coca Cola memorabilia. I chose the Sampler off the breakfast menu. The food came hot, fresh and delicious. Her homemade blackberry jam was a compliment to the conversation with Suzie Q, her daughter, and grandson. The servings were great and it took sometime, but I eventually cleared the plate. I do not live near to Bay City, but I pledge to return to her restaurant. Having said that, I highly recommend stopping in for a bite!“

“Got 6 coneys to go and a gallon of sauce! Ate 3 dogs in the parking lot and it brought me back approximately 50 years to my youth. Great service and great food. We live in Traverse city MI and don't make it down to enjoy the hot dogs enough. Please don't shut this place down. Enjoy! I wish they had t-shirts for sale. David Krause“

“Great fish dinners friendly people great price“

“Very Honest Group Take care Customers Fast Service Food is Delicious.“

“Always leave here feeling satisfied 😊 the food is excellent and the service is very kind and friendly. This time came in for my daughters birthday and again very pleased!! I love the fact I kept it hidden from my daughters knowledge that Applebee's employees knew it was her birthday, that they also didn't spoil it. How the team gathered attention away from our table by clapping and initiating a birthday celebration and eventually began making their way to our table. I kept watching back and forth my daughters reaction and the team and she was completely surprised by it and it also made her feel special. You guys nailed it!! Thank you very much!!“

“very nice place to eat and good food and great service would go back over and over again and great prices“

“My daughter and I had a wonderful dinner with a nice view. The service from our server, Karen, was exemplary. She really made our night perfect with her attention to details. The only negative was the couple dining at the next table. There was a proposal which was joyous however, their lack of consideration did put a slight damper on our experience. They were a bit loud with their family and friends gathering all around us and had a photographer doing their photo shoot in our area. We are so lucky that our server noticed and put a stop to the “paparazzi” activity. We will definitely request her services whenever we dine at Castaway!“

“Wow!!! That’s all I got to say!! The food was delicious. And then for the first time we decided to try some pie…. Heaven!Home made everything, knock your socks off. Grandpa Tony’s ain’t playing 10 stars ⭐️“

“It's worth it to just go for the banana bread. mmmmm amazing every time. We love the service, always friendly. The restaurant is clean and the food is reliably tasty.“

“Good food and nice people“
