“So...6 days ago my family lost everything in a house fire with no renters insurance, litterally everything including my car burned down. After the fire claimed everything but our lives, looters/criminals stole everything that was left. It's just been a horrible week for my family but really thankful to be alive. Tonight (Sunday 8.10.25) we arrived 45 mins before closing time, which we normally don't do due to both being servers majority of our careers, we just dont come during closing time usually but we had a babysitter for an hour and we just wanted to eat out peacefully. Jeb/Jebidiah was absolutely amazing. He never once made us feel rushed and answered our many questions. (seriously, I'm picky when it comes to ranch and A1 and Jeb was on it, very politely) and I cannot thank him enough for his positive attitude, attentiveness, and overall great personality. I hope he is abundantly blessed and that their other servers are as amazing as he was. We will 100% be back. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the atmosphere was calm. Like really, Jeb, I hope all the good things happen to you and we will be back and request you as our server. Great job, O'Malleys ❤️“

“I've lived here for 10 years now, and the Boat Bar has been a great place to feel welcome, let loose with great music and great people. also a great job too. the family here treat you like family as well. even outside the bar. Thank you to the Hagar family and most wonderful staff. my nephew thanks you as well.“

“Best food I've had at a restaurant in a long time 💯. They actually put love into their food and you can tell by their creations they take pride in their work!!! so worth it!!“

“It was so good we had to go twice in one weekend. Great food! We had an array: Mushroom Swiss Burger, Greek Salad, Chicken tenders, Mozzarella Sticks, Coconut Shrimp and Potato Skins. All of it was delicious. We were lucky enough to have the same awesome server both nights. Shout out to Hannah for being amazing! The view is incredible and the atmosphere is comfortable. Highly recommend!“

“1st time...won't be the last🕺🎊👍“

“we celebrated our anniversary today and our server was Melissa and she went out of her way to make our special day one to remember. She was so attentive and told us some history that we didn't know. An outstanding server. Kudos to the chef who cooked my steak to perfection along with great veggies/baked potato. My wife very much enjoyed the pot roast dinner. thanks again staff for a great meal.“

“Came in this morning for the first time, sat at the bar, and it was a good time! Great conversations and great food. Every plate that came out of the kitchen looked primo, and the taste was there too! Might be my new breakfast spot!“

“Have eaten here on multiple occasions. Usually breakfast, but occasionally lunch as well. Have never had a bad meal or bad service.“

“Two friends and myself eat at Deb's weekly and like everything about it. Even Abby!!!! Great food and prices and it s a special place like very few out there.“

“I haven't been here in a few years. our burgers were great. we will be back soon for the wonderfully priced fish dinners“

“Only been there twice. Was there with a big family Christmas Gathering and everyone was very pleased with their food. That time, and the last time I went there, I got the coconut chicken because you can’t get that anywhere else. Phenomenal! Fresh green beans and coconut. Jasmine rice was excellent side dish to their encrusted coconut chicken. Service was great both times. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean. Going back again.“

“Outdoor dining, fast waitress, and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in my grilled cheese. Not what I expected. Bread was so HARD. Definitely not worth over $17. Mac and cheese had a really great crust and my boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork though!“

“We haven’t been to The Fed in a long time! Like 2 years, we always celebrate our birthdays or Anniversaries ❤️ always a good time there. Last night we went there on a whim and Andrew Schneider was amazing. From the minute, he greeted us at the table it was top-notch throughout the whole meal. We’ll definitely be back. We definitely miss the vibe. Thank you Andrew(Drew) for an incredible experience and service. And of course, the food was fantastic!“

“This was my first time trying The Coney Express and I can’t wait to go back. I randomly pulled in when I had a craving for a coney before grocery shopping. The woman that served me was wonderful and I can’t believe how fast and fresh it was. The hotdog has the crunchy casing that I love and the chili is good. I’m not exaggerating when I say that these might be the best fries I’ve ever had. The prices are very reasonable and I’d choose this over a chain drive-thru any day.

GO HERE.“

“Fantastic staff and food! We love going to Victorias!“

“Kids personal pizza with house made dough and sweet-savory sauce. Other kid got the fish & chips; delivered crisp, generous pieces that vanished fast. Wife’s chicken pasta was a tangy and good portion. My cheeseburger on its signature oddly flat in-house bun tasted great. Overall good food, waitress was young, shy, and definitely new but did a good job.“

“Great food and service! We 💜 going to Mel’s. Thanks Jovona for making it so special!“

“something was forgotten in my order, I called and your manager corrected it quickly! He is great and went above and beyond!“

“Awesome restaurant great food and the owner is a great man.“

“Everyone here is amazing 10/10 go go go!“

“Hands down best breakfast around!“

“Great food for a decent price. The burger was large, tender, and juicy; it was satisfying. The fries were great and the soda tasted very fresh. The waitress was attentive to us as well. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll have to stop by again.“

“Best ribs I’ve had in a long time, great food decent service prices are in line with other good pub food places we will be back!“

“Amazing dinner on a whim on our way home from Detroit. Everything (service, atmosphere, food, prices) was better than we could have hoped for. We will go out of our way to eat here again. Thanks for a great experience!“

“Thank you so much to everyone at 15th Street for making our last minute graduation party a perfect day for my baby girl. After the devastating news of not being able to have our party at our house one month before the grad party we were panicking. After discussing a plan with Madison and Collin we came together beautifully. All everyone talked about was how delicious the food was. Thank you to Ashley our server for taking care of all of us. Words will never express my love for you guys in helping give my baby the best before she goes to college!“

“good food good prices friendly service and feel comfortable taking my grandkids and great grandkids there“

“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.“

“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.“

“Phenomenal food. Was looking for a restaurant and so glad I lucked out choosing this one. When I arrived immediately received a large loaf of bread with the table. The flounder, coconut milk rice, and Granada were 10/10. Don't get me started on the desserts, the butter cake was 11/10 and the cobbler just as outstanding. Stuff mushroom, just another home run. The staff were attentive with great recommendations. Chamomile tea paired well with all of this. The pizza was also some of the best pizza I ever had. I don't often come to this area but I will be making the drive for this place. Highly recommended. Nice place, with an outdoor dining area. This place is perfect for dating. Prices were surprisedly less than I would expect for such amazing food.“

“We have been here a few times and it's always good. Service is decent, food is hot and decent. The place always seems to have a few tables, but never overly busy of the times we have been here. I ordered my burger medium rare, and it was well done, but it was hot and didnt sit in the window for a long time. It was seasoned well and was still nice and juicy. The girlfriend got a chicken quesadilla and really enjoyed it. The garnish was a little odd being rough chopped salad lettuce and diced tomatoes, but the quesadilla was really good. We got potato skins for an appetizer and it was decent, just basic sysco frozen potato skins tho. Nothing is over the top delicious, but nothing is horrible either. Just, decent bar food. Def check this place out, but dont expect a 5 star meal either.“

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

“We’ve been here five times now, and it never disappoints-some of the best food we’ve had! The staff are always incredibly friendly, and it’s become one of our favorite breakfast spots. Honestly, it’s a shame it took us so long to discover this gem. Oh and the pulled pork is phenomenal.“

“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“

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

“First time visiting Ignite Tavern and I went because they were hosting a trivia night. Food was excellent and when I asked our waiter, Dave, what he'd recommend he gave me plenty of options to choose from. Then when I asked about the soup he provided me a sample taste and it was so good I ordered a bowl. We were there for about 2 hours and Dave kept coming by to check on us and top off our waters. I will definitely be back again for both trivia and the good food and service.“

“Great meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

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

“Always great food and service. Cheyenne was our server tonight and was great. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken is incredible. Steak was cooked to perfection. We drive 40mins to this location, only one near by at least 2x month.

Update: Candace was our server tonight, What a pleasure to have her. 8/24/2026“

“great food, great service, clean and affordable“

“I went here for the first time with some friends to watch the NCAA tournament. I want expecting much but they had a good beer selection and the wings were really good.... Way better than BW3's these days. The waitress was really nice and made sure we had everything we needed. If definitely go back for their wings.“

“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.“

“They always have good food.“

“PLEASE MANAGERS... start thinking of those of us that have mental situations that can't handle the music being sooo loud. My first time there and even though they were VERY busy that night, it didn't stop our food from being served fast and delicious, our waiter was awesome and checked on us often, never a attitude or rolling eyes no matter how many times we asked for something. I wish I could remember his name cause he really deserves a raise. This will definitely be my #1 place to go for steak and shrimp from now on. PLEEEEASE make booths a little wider for those of us that are NOT a size 2“

“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!“

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

“I stopped in Monday on my way back from up north. First time here. I wanted to go back the next day. I wasn’t a fan of the queso but I’m not a huge cheese guy but I typically like queso. The salsa’s were very good. I mixed them and they were even better. Steak tacos were so good. Rice was good, but didn’t seem authentic. Cheap food, I will be back!!“

“Food: 4.5/5 (Food is on point!)
(Great service!)
(Great and comfortable environment!)

In the Detroit area, all you hear about is the great Coney Island Dog! There's nothing like a great hot dog in a steamed bun, with chili, yellow mustard, and raw onions. Stopped in at Leo's Coney Island and was impressed with the amazing diner, service and food. Located in Oxford, Michigan, this restaurant has directly created a tastebud in me for Coney Dogs, and I'm looking forward to trying other menu items.

The food is good! I got the two hotdogs with fries and drink special and the price was not bad. Loved the beanless chili and bold mustard taste as I enjoyed the Coney Dogs. Fries were great, and I enjoyed every bite. Great filling meal!

The service is great! Great spirit and vibe among the staff, great comfortable space, and they served well, with fast service. Great service!

The atmosphere is comfortable and clean! There is a diner vibe with a full menu of lovely eats. Very welcoming environment for all.

Free parking lot. Wheelchair accessible parking and seating. Great indoor seating that's great for both casual dining and social gatherings. Price point is $10-20 per person.“
