“Absolutely love this place. Delicious food!“

“Thanks for taking care of us today! Amazing food and hospitality!“

“If you haven’t been here and you enjoy good beer. You need to come here. They make the best beers in all of the lower peninsula. I’m a craft beer guy and I have made it a point to visit every small brewery that I can while out and about in our great state. Mothfire Brewing is by far one of the best breweries I’ve ever been to. The staff is amazing and the beer is excellent. Stop in, you won’t regret it.“

“Staff is polite, selection is varied and can suit any taste. There are also non-alcoholic options and some light snacks!“

“I was happy with finding vegan options in this part of town during our visit. We tried a few dishes, including the vegan burrito, hot mess, southwestern hash, and slider (vegan). For the vegan versions, they replace egg with tempeh and the cheese with spicy mayo. Overall, the vegan options were okay, but did not seem their specialty. Also al of the dishes had a spicy sauce I wasn’t a fan of. The vegan baked goods were good though and highly recommend the coffee over the chai.“

“Breakfast,pancakes & tacos!!!“

“Great beers, food and staff!!!“

“Being the job that I have and traveling as much as I do around Brighton and surrounding cities I try to try a new place for lunch as often as I can. Today I'm down in the westside of Ann Arbor and this new restaurant Ricewood BBQ, OH MY GOD!!! On the recommendation of the lady behind the counter I got the Brisket bowl with sesame cucumbers, pickled onions and the spice was medium. A "real", in my opinion BBQ place, you even smell the smoke from the wood smoker walking up. I went to the one on North Maple and by far the best lunch I've had all summer!!!“

“Loved the outdoor space and inside space. Coffee was great and staff was friendly as well.“

“Good place to eat and get a beer. Anthony was our server and did a good job. My artichoke dip came out without the dip but Anthony quickly fixed it. And it was really good. The girl at the door seating everyone seemed really odd. I told her we needed two seats. She grabbed the menues and silverware. We followed her to our table. She put the items on the table and left without saying a single word to us. I usually expect them to say follow me or tell me who will be our server. She didn’t say a word. Seemed mad. But it is a beer and burger place. Maybe I expect too much of people.“

“I dined with my 4 year old & two 13 year olds. We all shared two baskets of fries, a Club and a tenders app. Including a beer & Pepsi the total only $50. The real 5 ⭐️ goes to the service staff. I’ve truly never experienced better. My toddler dropped her water glass which shattered under our table. Before I knew what had happened the staff were at our table to help. We stood out of the way where someone helped me dry her pants & replaced her water. The staff cleaned the mess then moped/dried the floor within ~3 min. It was AMAZING. Thank you!!“

“We absolutely love the Portuguese egg tarts from Marupo. I hosted an international day at our campground, and we randomly drew Portugal. A friend told me about Marupo, and I am so glad that she did. The tarts were not too sweet, the crust was done perfectly, and they came in a cute box. I bought four boxes of them. As a matter fact, someone tried to walk off with two boxes of them during the event. That’s just how good they were. To top it off, the owner was very kind and professional. We will definitely be trying other things when we go to pick up our new favorite dessert from Marupo. Thank you!!“

“Flavor runs deep at this casual spot … excellent!“

“It's really nice having AADC in the neighborhood, and as a distilling company they do great work and make quality spirits. They'll also often have delicious food trucks, which brings great food into the neighborhood. The vibe is lovely. The only downside is that you're paying an arm and a leg for a weak drink. We don't come here for the drinks.“

“Great dj’s awesome atmosphere“

“I was recently in Cahoots!

Cahoots Café blends cozy, modern, and mid-century touches into a warm environment bathed in natural light. A “visually stunning” with a “chic mid-century modern decor, spacious interior,” creating the perfect setting for both casual meetups and focused work.  The café also offers an inviting lobby feel for sipping your coffee al fresco.“

“My husband and I ate here today for the first time. It was amazing.. the food, the staff, the overall genera atmosphere.. I have not 1 bad thing to say. We will most definitely be back ❤️“

“Amazing coffee and treats, but the staff makes it special. It's always nice to be greeted by name.“

“I love the Washington location, they open at 6:00 am! Evan and Brooklyn are fabulous baristas! Fast, friendly and knowledgeable. I’m there every day for my morning wake up coffee and snack 😁“

“So excited to see Sweetwaters in the Michigan Union. Love that owners Lisa and Wei and two of their sons are U-M alums. This is a great work spot and the atrium and lounge areas nearby (with cozy fireplace) add to your options for enjoying great coffee, tea, and desserts.“

“I missed this place so much. Had not had it in like half a year and coming back was an amazing treat. Will look forward to the big move 🥰“

“They gave away our table accidentally, so we weren't seated until 15 minutes after our reservation, but they set up a new table to get us in and did everything in their power to fix the mistake. After that initial bump, a wonderful experience“

“Great beers, food and staff!!!“

“My work has ordered many times from Alpha Coney. Today we place a order for 4 lunches for pick up. Today they decided to charge a 20% large party fee. They never have done that in the past. We just got lunch from the restaurant last week and our bill was over $50. No fees then! You have lost our business!!! We will be supporting other businesses in the area!“

“Nice coffee shop! I love the Dreamy! They also know how to make a great Breve 😊 Hopefully they will be carrying “Crust” pastries again soon!“

“A neighborhood gem! Very welcoming and neighborly atmosphere. Wonderful selection of AMAZING gluten-free and vegan baked goods. Nice outdoor seating areas with lovely artwork on display outside.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free
Vegan“

“Everything I've ever ordered has been superfresh and made with high quality ingredients. There's an impressively large selection of smoothies, and there are lots of tasty, nutritious choices for how you can customize them. Salads and wraps are also customizable, and portions are generous. I tried the new Antipasto Salad, and it was delicious! Ordering online and pick-up after work couldn't be easier.“

“Whoever the owner of this spectacular establishment is, I’d like to thank you personally and shake your hand for consistently giving me the best lattes I’ve ever had in my life. How do you do it? How do your recipes literally taste like liquid form of what you’re advertising them to be? Banana bread latte? You can’t convince me you didn’t blend a piece of banana bread in there. Campfire chai? I’ve literally been transported to a pumpkin farm surrounded by colorful leaves with a campfire in front of me. If your business were ever struggling you give me a call because I would sustain that place and buy 100 coffees a day if that meant the world would continue to be blessed by your existence. Don’t tell me it’s the quality of syrups or espresso, I KNOW the magic you use behind that counter to make your coffees so good. It’s called love. Thank you for always giving me the best lattes I’ve ever had. You make my morning commute bearable, dare I say enjoyable.“

“Nicely prepared food, with good portions, friendly & prompt staff. And most important tasty food…“

“We came here for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. There was a short wait for lunch and our server was wonderful. The food tasted great and the atmosphere was calm and unhurried. I’m so glad we came here!

Parking: Plenty of parking behind the restaurant.“

“Zingerman's has always hit me right in the taste buds. Our server, Micah was gracious and attentive. Our table was positioned so that I was wedged in behind a diner at the next table. That's not right. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal.“

“Very good crowd and feeling inside and out of the coffee shop. It feels peaceful“

“this place is actually my favorite place ever. all of the staff are so kind and they’re super quick too!! literally my favorite spot to go with friends or to do work!!! also, the staff are literally so friendly like we are on a first name basis!!! absolutely go here“

“Was looking for some good, decently priced, Pho spot! This place has more than that, all the staples, and it’s delicious! Hidden gem!“

“the decor was all Michigan wolverine theme and the menu and drinks had a lot of choices but everything was so delicious and it was real filling so it was a enjoyable experience thanks again Allison“

“I have to say this review is based off one visit Feb. 2025, that makes it relevant to how a business is doing now which I think is what you will care about. I got their Ethiopian Coffee black, and a Caramel Macchiato . And for sweets a brownie and apple in a croissant. Drinks and sweets were good.“

“Went for a lunch with a friend and I brought my dog so we could go on a hike. Our waiter was super nice and brought out some ice water for her. The food was delicious and they have an inexpensive treat menu for pups as well. Definitely recommend!“

“I go to this location like 3x a week for my autistic son who loves their panda chow mein noodles. The staff there go beyond what they do to help me in this situation because my son cant eat certain foods. Jose is a hard worker and he makes sure we are always taken care of. Thank you“

“07.01.2022: staff member helped me fix my online order that I screwed up. Totally my fault. I had wanted delayed delivery but chose pick up. He was able to for me squared away and I had my lunch waiting at work when I came our of my cleanroom.“

“Our server was super friendly and helpful, she did a great job! The food was great specially the pizza bread twist app, Santa Fe salad we’ll really everyone was happy with their order.
Came after move in bday for a family casual meal and we all loved it.“

“Food is always good whenever I visit, and I recommend the signature soup and soup dumplings as you can’t go wrong with those options. The service is mostly great, with the workers always seeming positive and helpful, but one of the older ladies, possibly the manager, seems less friendly/welcoming but it doesn’t really affect the experience, just an observation. The atmosphere is great, and overall, I haven’t ever had a negative experience with anything like wait times, food, or general hospitality.“

“i don't need to say anything it's that good“
