“Buddy’s Pizza is hands down my favorite spot for Detroit-style deep dish. Locally owned and consistently delicious, I always go for The Detroiter—perfectly crispy crust, cheesy goodness, pepperoni, and that signature sauce layered on top. Their cheese bread is addictive, and the house-made vinaigrette on their fresh salad is a must-try. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, Buddy’s delivers every time. If you love deep dish done right, you can’t go wrong here. It’s a true Michigan gem that never disappoints.“

“Almost Cheers is a nice neighborhood bar. The bartenders are friendly and try to learn everyone's names. The crowd is friendly and willing to converse. They've just started offering food again, though it's all deep-fried, but it's good for what it is. The manager is trying to make everything serviceable and the atmosphere less drab than some may find it currently, so I have good hopes for them for the future.“

“I went to Time Out on a Friday night around midnight in search of some late night grub. It seemed as if this was the only place open in Waterford! I tried the chicken fingers and fries, and they were great! ?? You might say how hard can that be to cook? I've been to other places that it seemed like I told them to cook a dinner impossible. Anyway, the waitstaff was awesome and attentive, plenty of TV screens, there was a great dj spinning that night as well. About 30 people came in not too long after me and atmosphere livened up considerably. The Time Out is definitely a vibe! Oh yeah, I don't drink, but I can vouch for the Coca-Cola tasting good, too ?“

Prues Bar Bar • $
734 W Huron St, Pontiac - 8.54 miles

“This bar has no food.. You are however welcome to bring in any outside food or have it delivered..

For the people who don't understand- ordering a water and not paying for it doesn't make you a customer-It's not illegal to kick out somebody who is loitering.

This bar lets in plenty of people who need to warm up or use the bathroom. They're real easy to deal with as long as everybody is respectful of one another.

Ordering a water and taking up a seat in a bar that only makes money off of selling drinks and then wondering why you got asked to leave isnt ridiculous But maybe it's why you don't own a business yourself. 🧘‍♀️

Jukebox is usually going and the drinks are cheap cheap.

Monday through Sunday, Noon until 2:00 a.m.

Pretty simple hours.“
