“We stopped on the way home from Frankenmuth. We always stop when on trips up north. Today was HIGHLY disappointing. I ordered a corned beef sandwich. The bottom bread was soaked, I’m guessing someone didn’t drain the sauerkraut. I pointed it out. Instead of taking the plate to the kitchen to remake the sandwich she went to get a new bun. About 15 minutes later. I said EXCUSE ME , she said she’s waiting for them to make it ?? It wasn’t toasted or anything what’s to make ?? Still waiting…she brought me a piece of bun. Now the cheese is cold all in a clump and I had to make my own sandwich. I could have done that at home. I have NEVER not tipped until today. Most was brought home so I can warm it up and make it properly. I didn’t hit DO NOT RECOMMEND only because over 16 years this was the first incident. The waitresses handling of it was very poor !! And it wasn’t busy what so ever.“

“I always seen this restaurant but never stopped until I had to go to Erica flowers and needed change to purchase the flowers for my aunt funeral. To my surprise I ordered the taco salad it b was just the way I like it in a shell bowl, nice and crispy and also got the soft tacos for my husband which he loved as well. We will be returning my husband and I for a play date and I told my family and friends about Valeries that they really should try to go there. The owner was really nice and friendly.“

“Culver’s bay rd is by far the best location. We are regulars and treated very well. We always feel welcome when we walk in the door. Even if my ice cream order is complicated. The managers go above and beyond…. This is the place we pick in town above anywhere else . Not for the food but for the employees.“

“Best restaurant in the area by far. Try the folded sandwiches“

“We went there Monday night and had a great experience. The host and server were both very kind and genuinely seemed to enjoy working there. We sat on the patio and the service was great. The food was good, came out quickly and was actually affordable for this area. We really enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back!“

“We came in during family weekend at SVSU so it was a busy night - I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the staff was. From greeter to the bartender to our waitress Emmie - everyone was top notch and cared about our experience. We were very well taken care of - the service all around was excellent. Unfortunately this doesn’t seem the norm anymore in the restaurant business - but here it was!“

“The Chicken Greek Salad is out of this world. Picked up a couple at 8 this morning on my way home from work. I'll get three meals out of just the medium salad. Great value. Couple bottles of dressing for the fridge as well. The service was superior like always.“

“The home made cheese sticks are amazing 👏“

“By far, Prost is my absolute favorite restaurant. It's my go to spot for "me time", and I love to over order so I can spread everything back out again at my hotel later that day. The food is outstanding, wine list is spectacular, service is beyond compare.“

“One of my favorite local spots for lunch or a quick drink after work. The food’s always solid, the service is friendly, and the prices are great. They keep things fresh with seasonal specials and new menu items, and the staff is always welcoming. We especially love Kenzi and Ramon - they always make the experience fun, quick, and bring great energy every time we’re in. The Lantern & Nanny’s Dill Dip is definitely my go-to.“

“Looking for the old school combination of good food, service, cleanliness & personality has become a chore since Covid hit. If you’re searching for the same… let us help. This is the place !!! Friendly, smiling, and inviting when first in the door. Not left to stand looking around looking for staff or ignored. Our server Stephanie C was AMAZING!!! Prompt, attentive, friendly, polite, professional and down right fun. She has an excellent personality and made our visit very relaxed and comfortable. On top of this, if they were short staffed you could not tell. They had everything moving very orderly and timely. We will return !“

“Golden corral in Saginaw Mi is our favorite place to eat because the food is great, it is always tasty and the hot food is really hot and the cold food is really chilled. They have all the chicken you want, either broiled, baked or fried and lots of shrimp. Check out the extensive menu. My other favorite is that between 1 and 3pm seniors get a reduced priced and free drinks with free refills. Eve and Troy are my favorite servers. They are super hard workers and always keep our drinks refilled and take our dirty plates away very fast.“

“Always good food with big portions you’d expect from classic American eats.“

“Brandi is always nice and patient with you to make sure you get the Best Service! Great Cooks!!!“

“Great food and the chicken“

“I recently visited Applebee’s and had a solid, overall enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was exactly what you expect from Applebee’s—casual, relaxed, and comfortable, making it a good spot for a laid-back meal without feeling rushed. The restaurant was clean, well-lit, and had a steady flow of customers, which is always a good sign.
I ordered a steak, and it came out in a reasonable amount of time. The steak was cooked close to how I requested and was nicely seasoned. While it wasn’t a high-end steakhouse cut, it was flavorful, tender enough, and satisfying for the price point. The sides paired well with the entrée and were served hot and fresh, which I appreciated. Portion sizes were generous, and I left feeling full.
The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Our server checked in regularly, made sure drinks were refilled, and handled everything professionally. It’s clear they’re experienced with keeping things moving smoothly even when the restaurant gets busy.
Overall, Applebee’s delivered exactly what it promises: consistent food, reasonable prices, and a comfortable dining environment. If you’re looking for a dependable place to grab a steak, enjoy classic American food, or meet up with friends or family, Applebee’s is a reliable choice. I would definitely consider coming back in the future.“

“Maybe it's just me and nostalgia but I LOVE Big John's. I get it every time I'm in Michigan. The super steak with cheese and peppers is the way to go. Honesty I've had many cheeses cheesesteaks that were nicer but nothing quite hits like this place. A bit run down but always fast and always great.“

“We came in for breakfast and had server Kayla. I love t shirts and biscuits and gravy and she happened to be wearing the biscuits and gravy tshirt. I asked her if they had any for sale and she went out of her way to hunt one down for me. She brought drink refills without having to be flagged down and was just really nice. Thank you for doing such a great job! Even our friends from out of state who have never even heard of Bob evans said that the service was top knotch.“

“Always have a great time @ Chili's“

“Food was great, service was a little slow but the waitress was great. Drinks were excellent.“

“The food was amazing I ordered from here all the time even when I get customers orders from DoorDash deliveries the food is amazing far as keeping the temperature nice and warm Don't even wait long for real probably less than 10 minutes If you definitely thinking of somewhere to go get food at and go to Buffalo wild wings go on State Street not the one on the other side of town if you know you know 😉 you will be waiting forever“

“Decent food, but where is everybody?
Showed up around noon on a weekday—empty. Not a single other table. Kinda eerie, like we missed the memo that the place closed. Food was solid, though. Pancakes fluffy and hot, fish dinner flaky and well-seasoned, country fried steak tender with gravy that didn’t taste like it came from a packet. Portions big, prices fair. Kitchen clearly knows what it’s doing. Place was clean—floors spotless, tables wiped, bathroom stocked. No complaints there. Service was polite and quick (hard not to be when you’re the only ones in the building). Just can’t shake the ghost-town vibe. At peak lunch hour? Weird. Makes you wonder if something’s up—slow location, bad word-of-mouth, or just a fluke day. TL;DR: Food good, place clean, service fine—but noon and nobody here? Strange. Worth a stop if you’re hungry, but don’t expect a crowd.“

“I have been to Buffalo Wild Wings several times now, and every time I go I always enjoy the food. The traditional wings, or the boneless wings with hot sauce always hits the spot taste-wise, and let's not forget about the fries. I also recommend the blue cheese dip for the wings. I highly recommend this place!“

“My family and I went out to eat last night (Saturday). The door was a little packed it was very busy, the wait for food was long but our server was very funny and entertaining and made it worth staying for. She also went out of her way for my nieces by offering her own paper and pens to draw on while they were having a hard time sitting for so long. Our servers name was Bre, she really made the visit worthwhile and we will always be asking for her when we come back!“
