“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.

“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.“

“I visited the drive through at the Holland location in Saginaw today just before 1:00 pm. My boyfriend and I had not had this in many years so we ordered more than usual because we couldn't decide between the chicken or the steak. I ordered the Philly Chicken 16 inch sub with everything on it, and the Super Steak, Cheese and Mushroom adding banana peppers 16 inch sub. To say we were impressed would be an understatement. I did have a short wait, but I was okay with it because I could see through the window that they cooked everything fresh. The gentleman that took my order and payment displayed great customer service, and the young lady that handed me the order showed a genuine smile and sounded sincerely happy to provide me with my food and a wish to enjoy and have a great day. But when I got home with it and we opened our subs, wow, so impressive! These subs were so filled that the filling kept falling out the whole time we ate. To a point that I couldn't believe it just kept falling out. Lately, just about anywhere I go, the prices have increased but the meat portions have reduced. This location gave us generous portions of fresh and amazing tasting food! We couldn't eat it all, but that's okay - just saved the rest for later. You absolutely get what you pay for here! Thank you to the staff for a wonderful experience. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Always have a great time @ Chili's“

“I had a wonderful experience, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Pam. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. She checked in at the perfect times, had a great attitude, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. It’s clear she cared about providing excellent service. Combined with the delicious food and great atmosphere, it made our visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope to have the same server again on my next visit!“

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

“Amy was a phenomenal server! She took time to listen to all of our family when ordering and making sure everything was brought out to the table correctly and in a timely manner! She was very easy to talk to and continued to come back and ensure everything was great for us! Will definitely come back and request Amy’s section again!“

“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“

“I enjoy buffalo wild wings, this one is no different. But sometimes it can be hard to enjoy it. The food is always pretty good, the atmosphere even when busy is enjoyable, but its the service thats hurts the experience. The servers are always pretty nice but I will order something and it ends up coming 20 to 45 minutes later, which when busy makes sense but it happens every time even when the orders are pretty simple, they on a regular basis get orders wrong, which usually isn't a problem cause the servers are nice enough to fix it free of charge, but it gets annoying when it happens every other time you go. Im not saying its a bad restaurant but it needs some things to be fixed once these things are fixed they could definitely be one of the best around. So all in all good food great atmosphere just not great service. There is also gluten free buns, unlike anywhere near by, probably the only location I know of.“

“Took about 10 minutes for them to clear a table off for us and the guy was not friendly about it at all, everybody seemed super stressed out that works there which was also stressful for us and others visiting. Our waitress was great, the only problem I had they waited until we were completely done eating all of our food to give us our second appetizer which we had to get a box for. The food was okay, I'm just upset that they got over on us not giving us the appetizer.“
