“I love playing here the greens are always in great shape. I would recommend this course.😀“

“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.

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

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

“Good food and good service!“

“Better than most family restaurants!“

“Oh Happy day, this place closed months ago and was put up for sale. This great Greek family just reopened Monday, we had to visit. Yes same family, Ma & Pa with the daughter welcome all those long time customers with a smile. Thanks Sidney our superstar waitress, you a keeper. Check they Facebook page everyday for Specials. Had a outstanding sandwich named the Smokestack OMG. Corned Beef, Ham n Turkey on Toasted thick Greek Bread with Cheese and sauce. A true gut stuffer, could barely finish it. She had the half Deep Fried Chicken spot on delicious. Marvelous Bean n Ham Soup made in house. This folks a Downriver Gem , place been a restaurant over 80 years with different names. Easy to find just a hundred yards off I-75 the Rockwood exit. Spotless clean everything and friendly staff, a must visit.

“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.“

“We had breakfast there yesterday morning. The food was fantastic, the service was remarkable, priced right and really nice people that made us feel at home.“

“They are very clean, food is always cooked perfect! And right now the Walleye dinner is out of this world! And what can I say about the concrete!“

“their biscuits and gravy is great the waitress are great I love going here because they care and they donate to all causes I go to the diner just five times a week and they are always glad to see you and they are always really nice I will always go there and get the biscuits and gravy the owners and son are great people this is the only place I eat at because you won't find a better place or better people.“

“EDIT TO ADD: We gave it another shot and it is much better under the new management!

Restaurant is filthy. If the dining area looks like that I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. Food wasn't great but edible. Went home after and we were extremely sick. Woodhaven Leo's is honestly the best one. Service wasn't good but we still tipped 25% (that's the lowest tip we ever leave anyone).“

“I love this place! I remember when the owner took over and he would ride around asking people what we like and don’t like and stuff :) he was so nice! This place is beautiful! This family made is so family friendly and just amazing here 💕“

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

“Great food, great people and great prices“

“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😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Thank you for the pizza. We stopped in on Sunday, had some wings and pizza. Everything was great and the service was awesome!“

“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. .“

“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!“

“Good food Good service Good drinks“

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

“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.“

“Great food, hidden gem in Flat Rock“

“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.“
