“Always loved the "Grill" for breakfast now it's open till 8:) All the food is excellent especially the Greek Fries (french fries red onion feta & house made creamy Greek dressing) The staff is delightful and the customers diverse. Everyone is welcome. Our favorite family restaurant!“

“Where do I even begin? The second we walked in the door, everyone was so wonderful! We took our twins out to celebrate their second birthday! Our waiter Nicholas was so kind and patient! He made sure our babies food was put in quickly and came out hot and fresh. (They were getting hangry. haha) Nicholas gave us some recommendations and they did not disappoint! 👏🏽 Everything we got was fresh, hot, and delicious, from the appetizer, to our meals, to the twins' meals. Even my mocktail was spot on! Their manager, Amanda, was who delivered our food. She was so sweet and cheerful!! She came back over later on to check on us and wish our babies a happy birthday! The entire restaurant was clean and well maintained. You can truly tell the staff enjoy their jobs. Nicholas and Amanda made sure we had a great first experience. My hubby and I have decided to come back, minus babies, and have a date night so we can further enjoy the extensive, and yummy looking, menu. 10/10 highly recommend.“

“Great Food for our post memorial service. I have never been to Republica but was very pleased. Great service and very friendly.“

“Stopped in for dinner, had the nachos and the the BBQ chicken salad. The nachos are always my favorite and the BBQ sauce on the salad was so good, didn't need the dressing. Our waitress was really busy, but still attentive and helpful.“

“staff is wonderful, food is great! Love the atmosphere.“

“Todd does a great job! 🙂👍“

“I’m so impressed! We had our wedding dinner here, 25 people. The room was such a vibe, they put the table together beautifully, and THE FOOOOOOD 🔥 Everyone was very happy with their meals. The presentation and service were excellent. Our servers Morgan and Shannon were attentive and sooo nice. I would recommend a private event here to anyone. Thank you 220 for a great evening. We’ll be back!“

“I cannot say enough about this amazing place. The food was amazing cooked with perfection and flavors that were amazing. we happened on the restaurant on a whim and even though it is an hour+ drive we will be returning at least every couple months.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“First time excellent food and portions I was more impressed with Bianca our in training waitress such a lovely person I had shrimp and grits my coworker had a all meat omelette. It was very refreshing to see an omelette with bite-sized pieces of meat as opposed to the normal Coney Island omelettes bottom line we are going back“

“If you are contemplating where to dine…go here…you won’t be disappointed. Gabi and Gabriel are such gracious and hospitable owners of this diamond in the rough in hazel park. Service is 10/10. Their food…100/10. Their drinks are plentiful and their food is all authentic and homemade. Their Langos with garlic sauce is AMAZING…Honestly my wife and I have tried almost all of their staples (they also have rotating chef specials) and we have not found one thing that we don’t like. Their “from the woods” polenta is fantastic for vegetarians. There is something for everyone and once you go…you will keep going back for more.“

“On a Saturday night my girlfriend and I wanted to go somewhere close and somewhere simple and we found The coach grill. First thing i saw was how busy and cozy the place seemed right when we walked in. After the staff cleaned a table very quickly and seated us, we looked over the menu. I heard of the famous Ruben sandwich and I wanted to try their wagyu burgers. So we ordered both, it was not a long wait at all...first impression was the Ruben was fresh and delicious and packed with flavor....while being a thick sandwich the bread was toasty and did not turn soggy. The wagyu burger I got with with cheddar and mushrooms was juicy and well made we also got the garlic fries which were hand cut, tasty and hot to the touch.
The staff was very kind and attentive, always checking on us, replacing drinks without being asked and being quick to clean off the table of plates we were done with....but not being pushy in any way.
The vibe was busy but still nice and the music was at a perfect volume,not too loud and the place had a nice style.
I would not only recommend this establishment if you like american bar food but I will definitely be back for that Ruben again“

“The service, the food, the prices, the variety, the cleanliness, and the attention is ALL GREAT !!!“

“Barrel House has become our go-to place to hang out and eat. Their food is delicious, the drinks are great, and the staff are all amazing!“

“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“Been going here for awhile; food is good 95% of the time. Service is usually good too....unless you get certain server; no smile, no checking back to see if everything's good, no refill on coffee. We'll be back for the food & hope we don't get grumpy server!“

“I had not been to a Beefcarver since I was a kid to the location on 8 mile. Stopped in today to the Woodward location. Food was good, the atmosphere is very nostalgic (I loved it), and the staff was amazing. The gentleman waiting on us was very friendly and very on top of things! We will be back.“

“Food and service were good. I was disappointed that there were not more GF options on the menu. I chose the one option I saw in the entree section that was GF. The scallops were tasty, as was the Parmesan risotto, but the rice was a very crunchy al dente. My husband said his burger was possibly the best he ever had.“

“My husband and I love this place , been here twice and great food, servers , atmosphere. Just a wonderful place .“

“Excellent food as always and the service is A-1“

“It's always good. My only critique is that they only have splenda as a sugar substitute. Equal is my preferred.“

“We were instantly greeted and seated. Our server Robby was awesome. The entire staff was friendly. Chef Johnny is very talented and friendly. I love that he greets all guest and will even bring your food out himself. For starters we had the shrimp and crab cakes. They were crispy on the outside and melted in your mouth. The surprise with these was that there was whole shrimp inside. We loved it. The sauce on top was just the right amount. The salmon with saffron rice, coconut curry sauce and green apple slaw was the best salmon I've had in a while. The pairing was new for me but it worked. The salmon was juicy and perfectly cooked. When paired with everything on my plate it was like fireworks. Everything popped and was amazing. My husband had the beef strudel. Now he was thinking it was gonna be like a beef wellington but no. When he put his fork into the perfectly crispy flaky crust and into the most tender beef either of us have ever had, OMG. With the first bite all he could do was say "WOW"(sorry about how loud he was). The flavors of that plate were incredible. The blueberry cheesecake was the icing on the cake. It was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet and the smear of lemon sauce on the side elevated the flavors. The drinks. I had the rainforest and my husband had the Johnny Manhattan. When we saw how small the glasses were we were definitely worried. That feeling quickly faded with the first sip. The drinks may be small but they are strong and delicious. We had to pace ourselves with those. Overall, I give this place a 10/10 and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you to everyone there for a great time and for great service.“

“Wonderful place to eat! Highly recommended 🩵“

“A very comfortable place with amazing service and food. It was the best beet salad I’ve ever had, so thank you chef Abby. Makenzie the bartender really knows her stuff and Rachel the server is a welcoming smile to walk into. Thank you Beppe“

“Hey What up Detroit, my neighborhood Nicki D’s is straight the best hands down. No dirty or nasty looking employees or facility. The food is fresh and good, did I say it’s clean!!’ Plus it’s a family owned restaurant. I know yall still love Coney’s we’ll go to Nicki D’s on Grandriver across the street from that beautiful new Credit Union. Holla!“

“Great drinks and night scene. Had a lot of fun their last night.“

“I moved here in March and I’m still working on finding my new local go to spots. It’s my first time here and this is going to be my #1 go to diner/Coney Island.
It’s a family run business and it’s obvious that they work hard to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The waitresses are genuinely kind and you can tell they care about their customer.

The food was really good! It came out quick, the portions were generous, and if you like hash browns you won’t be sorry!! I’m a big coffee gal and my coffee was never empty, always hot, and as a VERY rare treat, the coffee is actually really good.

Lastly, the restaurant is clean and well maintained. It is obvious they take pride in what they do and are dedicated to making a great experience.

Support your local businesses and try this Coney Island! You won’t be disappointed!

Edit: my waitress’s name was Cathy. She offered to give me a coffee to go and I didn’t even ask 🥹“

After complaining, on numerous occasions, We have decided to remove Bill's from among our favorites list.“

“I’ve eaten here 4-5 times. Never disappointed! The things that are supposed to be crispy and crunchy are crispy and crunchy. What supposed to be hot is hot. Everything tastes fresh and there are generous portions. This is my favorite place to get lemon chicken rice soup and onion rings!“

“Great little local Coney Island that offered up incredibly friendly and welcoming service along with Hardy portions, great flavor and a feeling of being at home.

This was probably one of the most down-home and enjoyable breakfast experiences I had with my family in a very long time. Thank you Lons on 6 Mile,
Especially our server. That young lady made us feel more welcome and at home than I had felted a long time at any restaurant.“

“CK Diggs is an absolute gem near downtown Rochester! The food was amazing — everything we ordered was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We tried the boneless wings, nachos, quesadillas, Reuben sandwich, Southwest pasta, Cajun steak strips, pretzel bites, and Beijing beef — and every single dish was delicious.

The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and fast. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual night out or a relaxed dinner with friends.

The Cookie Monster and carrot was was beyond delicious.

If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere close to downtown, CK Diggs is definitely worth checking out!“
