My wife very much enjoyed the pot roast dinner. thanks again staff for a great meal.“

“The food at Ken's is always excellent, and the staff is friendly and attentive to keeping your drinks refilled. Also I recently helped plan an advent breakfast at my church for 120 women. We ordered all of our scrambled eggs, sausage links and hash browns from Ken's. Maria was wonderful to work with, as we made our order. When we picked everything up, she even threw in a huge batch of banana pudding for free! All of the ladies enjoyed the delicious food! I highly recommend Ken's for your catering needs!“

“Great service and great food. The specials are always creative and interesting. Atmosphere is super casual. On the bar side there are plenty of huge screens, but there is also a dining room side that doesn't have all of the distractions if that's what you're looking for. Prices are very reasonable and portions are large.“

“I ordered on their website and did curbside pick up. It was ready quick. I checked everything before driving away, they forgot a fry so I called and told them. The girl on the phone was very nice and had someone bring out a fry within a minute!“

“Best Mexican food (and chicken tenders) around, a great family owned business, margaritas are large and refreshing, haven’t had a bad meal from them, carry out is always fast and the side window is convenient. Great small place to catch a game at the bar and meet up for small talk.“

“Awesome every time!! Portions are large and the Staff is very friendly.“

“Great Place. My complaint. NO BLUE CHEESE DRESSING. I Had Chicken Strawberry Salad once a week. Every now and then since they quit serving Bleu cheese. Never after today when We asked the server who to address our concerns to, 2 servers pointed to the owner who picked up our plates and pretended he couldn't talk English. RUDE“

“The Orion Grill has become a positive addition to our neighborhood. The. chefs are far above other places near us. There is no place better for miles around for breakfast. Outdoor eating is a treat. The wait staff is professional. We plan to take friends to dinner tonight and know everyone will enjoy dinner.“

“They always have good food.“

“We sat out on the patio for dinner and it was warm and cozy. We have never been there before so we asked the waitress for her recs on appetizers. The Carne Asada Fries did NOT disappoint! My hubby liked the fish tacos and the rice and beans had so much flavor! Service was amazing and the food was great! Will definitely go back for more date nights.“

“I was flying solo this weekend and wanted a nice dinner and experience! Kruse's Deer Lake Inn did not disappoint. I chose from the Flavors of Fall on the menu (pick two) 😋 The stuffed shrimp was prepared perfectly (tender), and the baked shrimp and scallops were delicious. The pilaf pleasantly surprised me and was very good (pilaf is something I would have never ordered but it was the side for the pick two). I also had a Martha's Vineyard salad add tomatoes (not pictured)! I look forward to stopping in again soon!“

“What better way to celebrate a hole in one than by treating your fellow golfers to a round of drinks and appetizers at the local bar. I was lucky enough to join in the celebration and excitement at the annual ASBE foundation golf outing when a fellow golfer won the $5,000 prize. Since we were there so late we also decided to order dinner. The chicken parmesan sandwich and club sandwich really hit the spot. We will definitely keep this on our list of places to go when in the area.“

“First time trying them and it’s amazing! Get the burnt ends. Get the Cajun rice and jerk chicken. So amazing and flavorful. The lemon cake was the perfect touch to our meal! Great atmosphere and the guy playing guitar tonight singing was fantastic!“

“Drinks - dragon fruit margarita, delicious
Appetizer - spinach and cheese dip. Also very yummy. The flat bread was warm and soft with just enough crisp edges
Dinner -was delicious and I got 2! BF got ribeye and sweet potato. Delivered perfect. I ordered sirloin cooked rare plus and shrimp with corn on the cob. Lol got the wrong order. Was noticed immediately kitchen did a re fire before I even got to mention it to the waitress cuz they were on it. Just a mix up. Same entre, so easy to confuse.. they left me all the food. The timing of the service recovery and waitress were amazing. (wrong food most likely cuz someone working a differnt section was just trying to be helpful and help out while our waitress was busy)“

“They have awesome service and the food great, they have entertainment every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights“

“Great meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

“Dave is amazing. I believe this man holds this business together and deserves recognition and a raise. he makes this experience better.“

“Miles was the absolute best!!! I had the Tavern Club it was delicious, but the bacon wasn't. It was flimsy and undercooked.“

“Had a fun time here. The band was great, made some new friends. I will be back!“

“Basically, this location has gone DOWNHILL over the past 3 to 6 months, after Mike and a few other tenured staff people left. The cooks either don't care or aren't paid enough to get your order right and, once again today, the A/C here was not working, doors were propped open and 1 of only 2 toilets in the Women's Restroom was working. What's going on, Leo's of Oxford???“

“Some friends took us out for hospitality today and this was the first time I've been to this restaurant.
Sooooo many TV's to watch every football game.
My wife had a whiskey chicken wrap and I enjoyed a burger. Both were presented and cooked very good. We had 7 in our group and all of the food except for 1 of our guests came out together. The last was just about 10 min later. The place was packed, so I was shocked that most of the food came out together. The friends that brought us said they've never ordered something bad from here. I believe it!
I'm from the Howell area, so not sure how often I'll get out this way. But if I did, I'd come back!“

“Perfectly cooked steak without insaine prices. Ordered a filet, full slab of ribs and a 20oz ribeye, 2 sides (that came with meals) under 100.00 without tip. Service was fantastic even silent drink refills. I absolutely would recommend this location and absolutely will be back.“

“We’ve always had good food and service any time we’ve been here. It’s exactly what you’d expect. But today there was a server(not even ours) who went out of her way to make my young sons(2&4) feel special. With a random act of kindness. When I told my son that I didn’t have any cash for the duck claw machine, she overheard and had pulled a pair of singles out of her book for my sons to “win” a duck. I didn’t accept it, because we have too many toys as is, and my wife generally keeps a little cash(which my son begged from her). I didn’t her name, but I hope her manager sees this. She is a lovely young woman 5ft(ish) with medium brown hair in 2 long braids.“

“Awesome food, great atmosphere. Dominic is the best bartender ever, he’s so friendly and seems like an all around great guy.“

“Amazing food and great service“
