Diana definitely has a welcoming personality, and she deserves a raise. Everything taste fresh and I enjoyed the food. I will definitely stop in next time I’m in town.“

“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!“

“Everything was good. Service ,Food. I'm just a bit confused tho. You walk in it looks like a Lodge. Very nice wooden Bar with many taxidermy works displayed in a log cabin feel. You walk past that into a side room, and your in a 60 and 70s displayed poster room of music posters. And past that room back to a lodge feel with high cielings and wooden cieling beams. They did have what looked like a nice outdoor seating area open during warmer weather.Everything was Great just not sure about the music room.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“They always have good food.“

“Everything we've ever had to eat at the Deer Lake Inn has been Very good...We especially like the fresh bread, the 306 Salad, Martha's Vineyard Salad, Fish Tacos, Chicken Tortellini, Chicken Pineapple Sandwich and the Pizza! YUM! SO Good!“

“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.“

“This is my go-to bar/restaurant in the area. The wait staff is friendly, attentive, and they hustle. Food is tasty and consistent, with a special shout-out to the best seasoned fries I've had in a long while... shoestring, always served piping hot, crunchy on the outside w/ a soft potato-y middle, and generous amounts of seasoning. They have a great tap list, and their taps are always clean, so you're drinking the beer as the brewer intended. Don't be discouraged if the parking lot looks crowded. It's bigger inside than you'd think, and a lot of those cars came with one person who is sitting at the very large bar. I've never had to wait for a table. Love this place!“

“Great meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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)“

“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“

“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!“

“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“
