Family Restaurants near Allen Park, MI

“Holy moly! Best. Chicken. Greek. Salad. Ever! We walked in and the place was packed on a Sunday at lunch, so we knew right away it was probably going to be good. But, we were blown away by the fantastic service and deliciously prepared meals. Homemade Greek dressing was amazing. My friend’s corned beef omelette was perfect, too. I had to try a bite. New ownership, but all the staff remained. Some of the waitresses have been there for over 10 years, so that goes to show they’re happy and taken care of, too. Cute uniform shirts that we recommended they should sell to the public 🙂“

“Good food, large portions, fair prices, and excellent service which is exactly what you hope to get when eating out at a local diner. Ordered our eggs over medium, and they were perfect! So many places get this wrong, but Nona's nailed it!“

“Always pleasant at SR. Did a To-Go order this time. The chicken gravy on the carved turkey dinner was delicious. The green beans were similar to fresh. Probably the steam type in a bag that is long, not a can version. My potato skins were delicious as usual. The Club was very good as usual but needed to add mayo or other of your choice when we got it home. I enjoyed my tuna salad croissant in-house more than the one I had this time. I prefer not leaf lettuce for next time. The coleslaw was okay. I wouldn't get it again but that is my choice. Hubby added pepper and some other stuff to his to make it taste better. We love this restaurant and have been going there for at least 7 years now. Friendly waitstaff and other staff. Mike has a great place to keep it alive. Lots of menu choices. Always busy during peak times. Only wish they could expand and even have a banquet room on site. Parking is always so full and if the parking lot is full, usually means the restaurant is full or you may have a few minute wait. Booths need a little more room for the larger folks that come. There are only a couple of tables with chairs so some groups have to wait a little longer to be seated at them. If you can be fitted at a booth, they are a little tight for larger folks. They can take the wall partition down in the center to seat a larger group in two booths if needed.“

“I came here to leave a good review because they deserve it! Well I'm not the only one! 5 stars for these guys! I met the owner somewhere I think home depot and he recommended I stop by for food . So one day I did. They are the best downriver . Nobody touches their s*** lol... went there today and found out they are closed on Monday and Tuesday . Bummer because we went to an old place that we used to love and we were let down lol it just didn't compare to taylor kitchen .. see you guys Wednesday! You need a Facebook page!“

“Fantastic food, very welcoming. I felt like I was at home“

“Our first trip today and the food was amazing. Best Reuben I have had in a long time and their hand cut fries were delicious. Restaurant was clean and service was friendly and quick. Will definitely be back.“

“I live in Lansing but was visiting the area with my disabled son. A friend recommended this place to meet at and the experience was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The building is wheelchair accessible. The food was served quickly and was delicious. When I’m in the area again, I definitely will be back.“

“Update 7/10/25: We had another good experience during breakfast. Food was served quickly. My wife said the chicken and waffles was awesome. I had the same dish as before(se pics) and it was just as good as the 1st time.

Pleasantly surprised! Stopped by while our car was being serviced. Our waitress was great. Very willing to recommend items when asked. She came back to check on us several times and the food came out quick once we ordered. It was very tasty and we will be coming back.“

“The best food around town, the best grilled cheese. The best Coney islands and definitely the best hamburgers. The girls there are so friendly. And it's like being at home. When you go in there keep up the great work“

“I eat here fairly regularly. Especially breakfast. The best veggie omelet I've ever had. Coffee comes fast and often. They know my name (and I know theirs too). Good prices and they never rush me. Just wish they were open earlier and later.“

“My husband and i have been here twice in the last week and everything has been amazing, if you're looking for good southern style biscuits and gravy look no further, they took me right back to my great grandmas kitchen at the first bite and we can't wait to try more of their menu.“

“The food is good, and the service is excellent! Michelle is engaging and I enjoy talking with her. She’s always friendly and attentive.“

“Quiet and peaceful. profession was on point.“

“It's an old term, but is greatly relevant here: HOSPITALITY! Even as you try to decide what to order or are just waiting for a pickup, they will fuss about making you comfortable! Everything going on here is directly tied to a great customer experience. It is genuine and palpable. Here's another old term for y'all: good vibe! They have it. OH! And we like the food. With our sincerity, and thanks~ Liz n Ron“

“Food was perfect tonight and Omar took great care of us, 5 stars.“

“My family has been eating at Mom's for about 20 years(yummy food, sweet bar). That in itself should show how great it is. The best part? Wonderful, friendly, efficient staff. When the staff has stayed with a restaurant for many years it means the owners treat them really well.
FYI During the Covid19 pandemic the owners sent food to the essential workers our local hospital. So caring and generous?.“

“Unfortunately, I just received the worst customer service at a restaurant. At Six Star In Woodhaven. We got two burgers from carry out, mine was like rubber and my fiancé had a hair in her burger. They made us drive all the way back to prove it. Then they decided she had eaten "too much" of it for a refund. Made us wait 20 minutes for that bs response and handed us a new batch of fries to make up for it. Best part was the owner was too much of a whimp to communicate that awful response to us directly. He made a waitress say it to us after waiting all that time.“

“This place is pretty good they got good food good people pretty fast too. Just a good restaurant to eat at. The waitresses are very nice and the cooks are amazing. Not really a bad thing to say about this place I've been going here for years. I like the food there is a mix between Greek and American. “

“I ordered the new menu item steak and onion dinner. It came with mashed potatoes w gravy and broccoli with a side of banana nut bread. My drink was a strawberry lemonade. I was seated right away and my food took only 15 minutes at most. The dinner and drink have lots of flavor. The banana nut bread was a little too moist. I will go back again.“

“A no nonsense established place to enjoy real home cooked style foods for a good price. If restaurants could be cushy fuzzy slippers, this would be that! Except of course...much tastier and no fuzz! :)“

“Great food and wonderful service“

“Leon’s is awesome. Love going on Sunday for their brunch buffet. Need to have lemon rice soup all week“

“They were closing and I’m not from around here and they went ahead and open the grill up and cooked for me I have to say the food is delicious. The chili cheese fries are really good. Cookie dough cake is delicious, but as their server would say a cavity cake lol“

“My husband and I had a flamazing time. The food is excellent, the service is so friendly. our waitress was just a sweetheart. I loved the flamingo decor and the pink wall is my favorite spot to sit.. we will be back ❤️“

“beautiful n. amazing food.“

“great service great food .“

“The food was great. The atmosphere was ok.
As a business owner myself I understand the customers who use cc are cutting into profits. Therefore I raised my prices accordingly.t When you upcharge me I take the upcharge out of the tip. Sorry that may offend people but I wasn't told there was an upcharge before I ordered my food. Waitress should be sure to tell the customer before taking the order.“

“The Apple-cinnamon French toast was awesome. Also would recommend the cold brew coffee for something different“

“This review is based mainly on my personal preferences. I got fried chicken breast, mashed potatoes, collards, dressing, gravy and cornbread. The chicken breast was delicious, but overcooked and dry. Potatoes and gravy were fine. The dressing had good flavor but I didn’t care for the consistency. The collards were good except they were too salty. The cornbread was very good. I will order again and try other offerings.“

“Understaffed, but who is not these days. Waitress did the best she could since she was only one on the floor. Pot roast is typically really good, meat was tough this time and carrots raw in the center. Omelette was runny and little filling. Typically not like this when we eat here . We will go back but was very disappointed this evening for the amount you are billed. Tipped the waitress well as she was stressed but still was smiling.“

“Everything I've Tried Here Is So Delicious. The Pork Chops Are Cooked And Seasoned To Perfection. The Gravy, Feels Like Somebody Knows Somebody That You Love. The Gravy Is So Close To Mom's The Nostalgia Of Days Gone By Will Instantly Kick In. Oh I Can't Forget The Peach Cobbler. The Closest Thing To Grandmas Since Back In The Days. I Could Go On And On About All This Good Food, But It's Best You Try It For Yourself. Family Recipes Served Up To Perfection.“

“This place gets an A++, the food was so good, no expensive at all. There was a line but it went fast and the hostesses kept us informed on how much time of wait we had. The food was so good, they have this strawberry lemonade that is the die for, sweet when it needs to be and a little tart at the end. Our waitress CK was super friendly and her service was AWESOME. She made the restaurant feel like family. I will most definitely be back.“
