“I cannot say enough about this amazing place. The food was amazing cooked with perfection and flavors that were amazing. we happened on the restaurant on a whim and even though it is an hour+ drive we will be returning at least every couple months.“

“Best burgers!!! You will not be disappointed“

“Absolutely delicious and elegant food- worth every penny in my opinion. Loved the beet salad -chock full of golden yellow beets and dressed in a delicious and flavorful vinaigrette. I ordered the Vineyard chicken as my entree- delicious and moist chicken breast with a delicious smashed potato and cippolini onions, mushrooms and ca to go along with it, swimming in a velvety sauce. Loved and finished every last bite, it was that good! I haven't been able to say that about any nicer meal I've had lately. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be going back in the future. Drove here from the west side and I'm so glad we did!“

“Our server Jaylen was great and extremwly knowledgable. Jaylen ensured our needs were met. Thr manager, Alan, came by as we were eating and was also very attentive. The salted caramel cheese cake was the cherry on top of an already great experience.“

“I ended up here on a work event. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup with the carnivore pizza. The pizza was fantastic. The soup was half of vegetables which I found unusual. The service was fantastic as well as the pizza, pass on the soup.“

“Love this restaurant! We travel from Windsor Ontario to eat here because of the great food and drink. However the best part of Troy Yard House is the staff. Namely Sara who works the bar. She is simply amazing. I marvel at how she commands the bar yet encages with each of her customers. We have been here several times and attend based on Sar's schedule. We truly appreciate her as well the other staff who make this a GREAT place to be!“

“best food ever And a distinguished staff👍👍“

“My wife and I dined here for the first time as an early anniversary date, the service was outstanding. our waitress was very knowledgeable on all of the wine that I had with my meal(tasting menu) the food was timely and fantastic. This is a wonderful place. if you have an interest in diversifying your palate.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“the food was delicious,and the customer service was awesome I WILL BE BACK ❣️❣️“

“Always spot on!! The house bread and its sauces, amazing!! And had the risotto with shrimp, mushrooms, spinach and cheese. Prefect!! Server was great. You are on our list♥️“

“Their filet o fish sandwich was the best I’ve ever had. The oysters are always great here too. Oh, and they have an awesome happy hour. We love dining here.“

“I had the chicken wings and garlic aloi fries. The wings was really good, big wings and had a lot of sauce on them. It's 12 for 20 which to me kinda expensive. The fries was disappointed in 7 dollars for some fries that's half of them was soggy. There was little cheese on it. The ones that was cooked was okay. I wouldn't highly recommend it but I would give it another try if different cooks was working. Saw one guy had to give his wings back before me because they was under cooked.“

“12 burger joints in one day. We ranked them all and Comet was at the top overall. I was just taking bites at the last 3 but we did it. 140 miles. Was it a ton of fun? Yes! Will we remember this forever? Yep! Would I do 12 in 1 day again? No flipping way 🤣“

“We had a large group of ladies come in for dinner. It took us about an hour to get seated on a Saturday since they dont take reservations. We had a few bumps in the night but Brandon took great care of us. I believe he was the manager. Our appetizers were great (calamari and crab cake). The bread (or donut as we called it) was delicious!! Our entrees however were less than desirable. Pictured is my crab cake entree with a side of smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese. The mac was terrible (unseasoned and the noodles were hard) 😢 I left the full side almost completely untouched on my plate. My friend's broccoli had a hair in it, which they promptly remade. Someone else's steak tasted like cinnamon as she described it and was tough for the cut of steak. The drinks were 10/10 (shout-out to the bartender). I had a lemon drop mojito *chef's kiss* And the creme brulee was delicious as well. Overall, I would return but simply for drinks and apps!“

“My wife and Enjoy the customer service every time I hate I don’t remember our waitress name she was awesome, she knew the menu, she came over to us every time on time, she was great! This is my wife’s favorite she love the Ribeyes well done, Ocean Prime never miss with her stakes. That olive oil truffle popcorn should Be sold in stores, I never had popcorn this good ever and it’s to live for!!!“

“Service was great! Very nice atmosphere, and classy without being stuffy. Our food was overall very good, our omelette could have used a bit of seasoning, and something to brighten it up a bit, but that could be a matter of preference. I would definitely recommend eating here, the positives were way more notable than any negatives.“

“Just left The Chocolate Gallery with one of Jasons cherry scones. Absolutely delicilous“

“Best burger I've ever eaten. Great environment, with a cool bar facing Woodward. I will be eating here regularly!
12/2024 Update: I have been occasionally eating here for nearly 3 years. It's STILL an awesome place to eat burgers in my personal opinion. Coworkers enjoy this place as well!
10/2025 Update: still amazing. Love this place.“

“State Fair Coney Island at the corner of John R and 8 Mile in Hazel Park is one of those rare gems that feels like home the moment you walk in. It’s a true family-run spot where the staff greet you like you’re part of their own family—niece, nephew, sister, or brother. That warmth isn’t just in the service, it’s in the food too. You can taste the love they put into every dish.

My go-to recommendations? Definitely the original coney dog—it’s unbeatable—or the chicken finger pita, which is always fresh and flavorful. But honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Every option is made with care, and always leaves you full and happy.

If you’re looking for a place where great food and genuine hospitality meet, this is it. I’ll always recommend State Fair Coney Island to anyone in the area!“

“Great staff. Good eats. Timely service. Just an all around nice place to grab breakfast, lunch, or an early dinner. Daily specials at a good price. Family owned since day one.“

“Great food , large portions, been there 1/2 dozen times , top notch!!“

“Went to Savory Grill tonight (11/14/25). The food was fantastic! Staff so sweet. Great atmosphere and loved that "diner" feel. I miss the days of seeing people sit at the bar eating their food, talking with staff, and just enjoying it all. Great place. I wish it was closer to me. Thanks Savory Grill!“

“Service was great. Nice little restaurant. It was a bit too hot out to enjoy the patio. But would Definitely be worth a trip during the summer.

Ordered the bake cheese dip to start. Really enjoyed it. Goes really good with the toasted baguettes.

Full menu of options for drinks. No frozen drinks tho. They do not have a blender. They carry Faygo pop and that was a real treat.

Ordered the chicken Caesar salad. If I had known that, the salad came premixed I would’ve asked for the salad dressing on the side. It turned the Romain lettuce, soggy quickly. Couldn't take the left overs. Dressing was on the bitter side.

Also, tried the fire bird sandwich. Bun gave it good texture. Not a fan of the topping choices. Didn’t go well with the cheese and sauce.

I was excepting a little more from the menu. Smaller menu. Will be back.“

“Great place! Paul made us some of his delicious cocktails, and the meatballs were on point. Very creative menu.“

“I moved here in March and I’m still working on finding my new local go to spots. It’s my first time here and this is going to be my #1 go to diner/Coney Island.
It’s a family run business and it’s obvious that they work hard to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The waitresses are genuinely kind and you can tell they care about their customer.

The food was really good! It came out quick, the portions were generous, and if you like hash browns you won’t be sorry!! I’m a big coffee gal and my coffee was never empty, always hot, and as a VERY rare treat, the coffee is actually really good.

Lastly, the restaurant is clean and well maintained. It is obvious they take pride in what they do and are dedicated to making a great experience.

Support your local businesses and try this Coney Island! You won’t be disappointed!

Edit: my waitress’s name was Cathy. She offered to give me a coffee to go and I didn’t even ask 🥹“

“Beppé is a solid choice, especially for a date night. The spot is small but very clean, and the service was great, and everyone is super nice. I really enjoyed the burger; it was packed with flavor and is something I'd definitely come back for. The eggplant croquettes were also very good, and I'd order them again without hesitation. The ricotta cavatelli was a standout pasta dish, and their fries with aioli were absolutely amazing—they alone made the meal!“

“My family has eaten here several times. Service has always been exceptional. You came to my rescue when our Thanksgiving plans fell through and my out of town guests needed a place to have dinner. Your take-out saved the day and the food was good and plentiful. Thank you for being there for us. We all enjoyed a great dinner and know we can count on your pleasant service in the future.“

“Been going there for several years. I like the service. No fooling around no loud talking, laughing out loud, just taking care of business.It’s quiet, professional service, everybody working, and most of the time they got my eggs just like I like them. can’t say anything negative about omega, and I always run into Brenda sitting right on the end at the counter. They know who Brenda is, but you guys might not. I’ll give omega 10 stars.“

“Nice Staff. Michelle and Erica and Gary were great. definitely would recommend classic Lanes“

“CK Diggs is an absolute gem near downtown Rochester! The food was amazing — everything we ordered was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We tried the boneless wings, nachos, quesadillas, Reuben sandwich, Southwest pasta, Cajun steak strips, pretzel bites, and Beijing beef — and every single dish was delicious.

The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and fast. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual night out or a relaxed dinner with friends.

The Cookie Monster and carrot was was beyond delicious.

If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere close to downtown, CK Diggs is definitely worth checking out!“

“Hi The food was awesome and the waiter Josh was exceptional.“

“Today, I went somewhere else to eat the Seafood linquine and I ate here before I realize Eddie's Gourmet was better for me and I'm convinced I'll be back. I just wish they delivered. I'm a fan.“
