34 Best American Restaurants near Clio

“Big Boy brings back Nostalgia for me and anytime I’m on a trip I try and find one in Michigan. Reminds me of days gone by. From the moment I walked in I was met with a smile and was immediately seated and a waitress came over and took my order and although the restaurant is older and looks like it might need some updates, the food was great, my big boy burger was overflowing with hamburger as the portion was excellent and most of all my chocolate shake was phenomenal as I’ve tried shakes all over the world but none compare to the big boy shakes and I found this out years later as the secret is they use ice cream. So come to the big boy in Clio Michigan for great service, great food and the best milk shakes!“

“I just want to say food was awesome. Lisa was amazing. Definitely. We'll be back very quand in friendly place.“

“We went to try the food and were happy with what we ordered. Better than most restaurants we have been to. We stayed and listened to the DJ play music and watch the dancers. Plan to go back to try other food choices.“

“Not a fan. The food was ok. But if you go with anyone that happens to be part of the gay community, you get an uncomfortable feeling.“

“We went on the weekend and it wasn't crazy busy. Our waitress was really nice as was another waitress who would walk by and leave a drink refil.on her way by. Surprised my son everytime. Everyone I talked to was friendly and the food was amazing. Would recommend.“

“Never judge a book by its cover. This was an amazing diner and the manager was absolutely friendly and very on point with service. The food was amazing and I would highly recommend coming back here. I got the Philly steak sandwich with cheesy fries. Also the classic Rubin with tater tots was on point! Good food made fresh and good environment and family-friendly for the kids. I highly recommend it.“

“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.“

“Nice clean restaurant, quick and friendly service. Food was very sloppy and greasy. The burgers look NOTHING like the pictures!“

“i am a regular here at leos and Ashley is always spot on and a very fast, outgoing, attentive server. i appreciate her work ethic!“

“First of all great menu selection, and great food. But wanted to give a shout of thanks and praise to the waitstaff and management. Our large group really appreciated the accommodating, super friendly nature of the staff. They made us feel like family. We did get there just before the dinner rush the 2 nights we visited but they were quick to accommodate our 12+ group the first night and 25+ group the 2nd night. Everyone loved their food and our vegetarians had a lot to choose from too. Each night one waitress took care of our group and it was astonishing how quickly our orders were taken and our food was received. Management checked in on us regularly with friendliness that warmed our hearts. Thank you to everyone at Johnny’s Pour House for taking such good care of our volunteer Kingdom Hall roofers- The High Vis Gang?“

“Had an excellent experience today at Los Cabos. The service was outstanding and the food even better. I already have a few favorite Mexican spots, and now this place is on the list. The hardest part was choosing what to order. I decided on the Sampler Dinner great value with a wide variety. The portions are generous almost enough for a family to share and the pricing is very reasonable. Beyond the service and food, the ambiance and décor complemented the experience nicely. Highly recommended!“

“We love the staff! They are great all the time! Today should have been a slow rainy Sunday but it wasn’t. Megan did an excellent job with a full dinning room! Great job to the kitchen too!! See you soon!“

“Ive been coming to this place quite a bit recently to play pool with my boyfriend and the vibe is always Amazing. Strong drinks, great food, and very friendy staff. The only down side is the pool table is kinda close to the wall. Will definitely continue to return.“

“This was our first time stopping in since moving to the area about a year ago. Their parking lot always looked busy, a good sign! Great staff, Lindsay and April are awesome! Drinks were delicious 😋 I ordered the chili, very yummy! Enjoyed live entertainment, a guitar player country singer. We'll definitely return!!!“

“It's been a while since we last visited Cracker Barrel, we are not regulars but every once in a while we have a craving for an old country style breakfast. While we have always had a good or neutral experience, today's was exceptional primarily due to the excellent and friendly service we received from our server Quentin. He is exactly what our workforce needs to remain competitive in the world today. It may sound trivial but as someone who has worked with the general public for 40 years, it's no small matter to satisfy and please the sometimes unreasonable demands people have. The type of service we received today from Quentin gives me hope that all is not lost in the service industry. Cracker Barrel is fortunate to have Quentin as part of their team. Thanks!“

“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.“

“Your server James was awesome!“

“Flushing A is great, at the center of downtown, its the heart of American fast food for Flushing but it no longer will be fast if yall dont fix your drive up speakers. The entire point of them is the convenience and why i am sure a lot of people come here. Its looking like half of them are broken. What gives?“

“gast delivery and nice people“

“been driving bye for years finally stopped in and wow the food and atmosphere was great Service was fantastic as well we will for sure be back“

“Quality food and great service. Always stop by when I’m in the area. Get the Caesar Pita shredded chicken wrap. Local Michigan company, I’ve always been a fan, it’s one of the few places that is as good as I remembered it being as a kid.“

“My family and I went out to eat last night (Saturday). The door was a little packed it was very busy, the wait for food was long but our server was very funny and entertaining and made it worth staying for. She also went out of her way for my nieces by offering her own paper and pens to draw on while they were having a hard time sitting for so long. Our servers name was Bre, she really made the visit worthwhile and we will always be asking for her when we come back!“

“Friendly service. Excellent food.“
