“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!!!“

“All of our food was soo good. Good people working. Very friendly.“

“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.“

“Loved our pistachio latte and regular latte. Enjoyed the rosewood location a lot better. Awesome stickers. Nice staff as well.“

“Absolutely love this place. Delicious food!“

“Miny’s tacos breathe life into my soul!“

“This place is amazing, and they know how to keep the people wanting more :))) I would eat here three times a day if this place was open later. Even the simplest breakfast items have amazing-quality ingredients and so much flavor. There is always something new to try on the menu. Their frozen section lets you bring their menu home for dinner. They are always busy, which is a great sign, but the line always moves quickly. Can't say enough good things about them.“

“Great coffee! Like both locations!“

“great beer, awesome spaces“

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

“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 😁“

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

“I LOVE CoCo! I go all the time, and always get a medium chocolate with pearl, less ice, 70% sweetness. It is always super fast, and the employees are very sweet. Once I managed to spill my *entire* drink all over the ground while trying to stab the straw in (I am also baffled as to how I managed to do that), and they were very kind about it and remade my drink then mopped up the spill.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My go-to location for a happy hour with friends, but only on warm months :). I like the open seating as a large party can spread out, and you don’t need to worry about reserving tables or having known headcount before arriving. Paying at the bar is also pratical, as you don’t need to worry about the bill at the end.
They don’t offer food, but you can grab something from a restaurant around and enjoy it here.“

“I got a Brown bear coffee, a cappuccino with maple syrup and brown sugar, with a beautiful bear art on top 🐻🤎. I asked for half sugar, and it was perfect balance. The place has chill atmosphere and very good service.“

“Healthy Warm Brunch Hidden Gem in Ann Arbor!“

“Friendly, Fun, and enjoyed the selection of drinks.“

“Great vibe, great drinks!“

“I was surprised how busy the restaurant was at 8:30 on a Wednesday and very glad I made a reservation. I was promptly seated and welcomed by my server. The cocktail list of s inventive and I really enjoyed their take on a margarita, the Dame Mas. The roasted beets, heirloom tomatoes, and burrata was a greater starter. In addition to being beautiful it was a complex interplay of flavors and textures that worked wonderfully together. The mahi mahi fish tacos were also excellent. I enjoyed the slightly sweet mango salsa contrasting with the crunch and slight bitterness of shredded cabbage. Despite how busy they were, service was prompt and attentive throughout my meal. Very enjoyable evening.“

“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!“

“Everything was DELICIOUS!!! I am picky about my coffee and the salted Carmel latte was so good. Everything was so nice and so pleasant. I can’t wait to return when back in Louisville, will go out of my way to come back.“

“Went out here last weekend with a couple friends after work. The place has a laid-back vibe, not too loud, not dead either, which I liked. Bartender was friendly and didn’t rush us even when it got a little busy. Drinks were solid and priced about what you’d expect for the area. I tried a whiskey cocktail and it was made well, nothing fancy but done right. Seating was comfortable and we were able to actually talk without yelling. It’s the kind of bar you could come back to for a casual night or to watch a game. Overall, a pretty decent spot.“

“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 🥰“

“I’m visiting Michigan and originally from Atlanta, but the chicken lollipop here instantly reminded me of my hometown in India! It was absolutely delicious, with the perfect balance of spices and so much flavor. Every bite was amazing. We’ll definitely be visiting again! Highly recommended. ❤“

“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!!“

“Great beers, food and staff!!!“

“Great dj’s awesome atmosphere“

“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!“

“I have been a regular diner at Zingerman's Roadhouse for many years and have never been disappointed. This time I brought my younger son's best friend who had never eaten here before. He said that the fried chicken sandwich was the best he's ever had, and my son loved sharing a kid's mac & cheese as an appetizer with his friend. I loved the coffee rub on some fresh fish, and the seasonal glazed carrots were delicious!“

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

“They have the best chicken in town and the service is awesome.“

“Delicious appetizers...crab cakes and potato skin were perfect and the complimentary brownie birthday sundae was superb!“

“They have amazing vegan baked goods!“

“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 wanted to share my outstanding experience coming to this particular location… Josie went above and beyond to accommodate me after I was unable to pick up my smoothie the night before due to road closures on my way home to work. Her Customer Service is top-notch and the facility is clean and inviting. If you’re looking for a great spot to get a smoothie and kind interactions, please look no further and come to this Beyond location! Thank you again Josie!“

“Best dining experience ever at an
Olive Garden. Quality, portions, and our server Natalia went above and beyond serving us. Her personality and customer service was top tier. Great job management.
Until next time, Caio!💋“

“5/5 Stars – Absolutely Phenomenal Breakfast!
If you are looking for a top-tier spot to start your day, this place is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk through the door, the welcoming atmosphere and incredible smells let you know you're in for a real treat.
The food here is next-level. Everything arrives fast, fresh, and piping hot. Whether you're craving classic comfort food like light, fluffy pancakes and perfectly seasoned hash browns, or a savory house-made omelet cooked to perfection, every single dish delivers on flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and the portion sizes are generous enough that you certainly won't leave hungry.
On top of the fantastic kitchen, the staff and service are outstanding—attentive, friendly, and efficient even during peak morning hours. It’s rare to find a spot that hits the mark on food, service, and vibe all at once, but this place nails it completely.
Highly recommended! Do yourself a favor and get here early—it’s worth every bite.“

“I had no idea what I was missing! This place has amazing treats, genuinely friendly service, and such a great vibe. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, and it has quickly become my favorite place to treat myself whenever I’m on campus.“
