“I have lunch here about every two weeks. My best impression, is having a floor manager, visit the table, during my visit, to ask if all is well. Having that backup, besides a waitress, is excellent customer care!“

“Great diner! Food is on point and they were able to accommodate our large group that was in town for a soccer tournament. We called ahead to let em know we had a big group and they were so cool about it, looks like they have a big local crowd too, so I’d check em out if in town.

“Great food & fabulous smoothies!“

“The food is delicious! The last two times we went here we waited a long time to order. The waitresses were all talking by the register. Then came the long wait for the food. People who came after us were served. This second visit we had a sandwich and an omelette. There was no reason to wait 25 minutes for the food. We were really considering leaving. Then we were going to take some food home but since our waitress didn’t come by, we decided to just pay and leave. We’ve been going to Pipers for many many years, but after the service we received the last two visits, it will be awhile before we come back. This is sad because the food is really good. The restaurant only had 5 tables with people and there were 4 or 5 people hanging around the register.“

“We stopped here on the way home from Detroit today. Intentionally searched for an automotive themed restaurant to eat at. We sat at the bar and fell in love with the place! Our bartender, Delilah, and a young man who I assume to be a shift manager held conversations with us-telling us about the restaurant, the food options, local history, etc. Such a great experience! Typically customer service is hit or miss in the world anymore, but we did not experience that here. Top notch! Food was great and the mixed drinks were amazing!“

“Good food and good service!“

“Jo Jo waited on us tonight. He was working behind the bar. He was so friendly and attentive. Absolutely made our to enjoyable“

“Went there for lunch today. They were super short staffed, but other than the wait for the table, you couldn't tell. The wait-staff was amazing, even if there was only THREE for the whole place. The manager Katelyn (spelling?) did a great job setting expectations on arrival about wait times and was just over all pleasant. Thanks again!!!“

“Better than most family restaurants!“

“I LOVE TONYDOGS!!! Staff is so friendly and helpful sweetest girls ever. Honestly best hotdogs ever, might as well have created the hotdog. I’m currently eating this delicacy RIGHT NOW and you should too. Homemade ketchup?? AMAZING. Homemade rootbeer?? SO FREAKING GOOD. Rootbeer float? THE BEST. I’m never going anywhere else for a chili dog ever again as long as they’re around.“

“I love their mac n cheese! The menu is great and I love that we have another great local place to patronage! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We love this place ! There is gluten friendly buns, menu items, and drinks. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best bar burgers in town.“

“Went there for the very first time yesterday with my sons, and everything we ordered was delicious. I was NOT disappointed. My son thoroughly enjoyed his root beer float, and chicken sandwich, and my Philly steak was good, I just wish they had mushrooms to add to it. The onion rings were thick, and not salty at all, and the pink lemonade is the best I've had so far😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My husband and I stopped in for an earlier dinner. I had the ribeye steak. A little hiccup with the kitchen (requested medium rare, got well done). But without me asking, the General Manager, Laura, took care of it. Dinner was really good. Our waitress was Jennifer. She's the best. Consistent, friendly, and she is a really good server. We will request her again. .“

“Awesome experience! Prime Rib was delicious. ❤️“

“Love this place! Their salads are the best. My wife loves the chicken version and I love the gyro version. Their gyro meat and tatziki are among the best I have had. The coneys are iconic and perfect. Finish off with some rice pudding if you have room. Sharing is always a good idea! We went for breakfast the next day and had the Dino special omelet. Fantastic!“

“First time customer Staff was fantastic. Burger was one of the best I've had. Can't believe I waited to try this gem! Will tell everyone I know and will be coming back!“

“I'm in the search of the best Reuben. So far Joy's has an edge other places I've eaten at since visiting Monroe. The meat thickness was good, the sauerkraut has good placement being in the middle and I love it when the sauce is on the side so you can add as little or as much as you want. All in all I would say they have the best so far.“

“Good food, sticks to the menu. Staff is very helpful!“

“Great food, hidden gem in Flat Rock“

“Good food Good service Good drinks“

“I'm in love with the Truffle Chicken Sando after trying it! The black truffle mayo has a rich, earthy flavor that perfectly complements the crispy chicken. And the addition of sautéed mushrooms is ideal. You should also try the side fries, particularly the truffle ones.“
