“I love this place. Plenty of soup, salad and an entree. Free ice water. I came to check it out by myself and it didn't disappoint me, then I brought my husband in and again delicious and nutritious meals and salad bar. We are coming back very soon. I also love that you can meet the chefs and ask them questions. Very nice atmosphere too. Recommend whole heartedly!”

“I'm happy to have Petit 4 Pastry shop right here in my neighborhood! I stopped by this morning to pick up treats for my new neighbors and had a friendly conversation with the pastry decorator, who helped me select the perfect treats for my friends. She also offered tastings of a few customer favorites. I left with 3 lovely boxes of goodies, and a promise to return soon to begin "tasting my way through the pastry case". :-)”

“Orange chicken was awesome. I'm extremely picky when it comes to chicken - most places use fake popcorn sponge chicken - not Mandarin House, it's real chicken breast 🧡 & some of the best egg drop soup I've had. Take out was HOT and packaged neatly. Service was exceptional - Thanks again.”

“Yummy, that just sums up their food in 1 word. The chicken bacon ranch grinder was so good, it's not your regular bread but like a thick flat bread overflowing with filling. hubby said coneys rank right up with best he's had and he's had a lot of coneys. Friendly service with a smile, by the owner today. Well worth the stop.”

“WOW these are the best pretzels I have ever had. I don’t even like pretzels and these changed my mind. I’ve never had a pretzel like it!!!! 😍 🥨”

“great outdoor entertainment. Friendly staff, great drinks”

“We had such a great dinner at the Silver Palace. The wait staff were really great, the drinks were ice cold. Our sandwiches were on point. The new owners were very friendly. We will be back!!”

“They way overdid it on the Cajun and buffalo chicken. It was way too hot and I loved every minute of it.
Edit: Wings are hot as hell. Not for the weak. That's how it should be”

“Good food. Good service. Friendly staff. Seems to be drive-thru only. Definitely my go-to for Chinese food in Bay City. The lady that either owns or works there is super super nice. Take your money there and spend it instead of other places like Great Wall.”

“Chicken & steak quesadillas are awesome, but expensive. 03/29/25 update: enjoying the Nacho Belle Grande, a staple favorite! Always one of our go to items. Steak soft taco supremes are pretty good too, not bank friendly. 😊”

“I placed a pickup order and had to wait 15 minutes for my food after arriving at the restaurant. I am unsure of the reason for the delay. However, the food was mostly fresh and delicious.”

“Every time we go here, there is never any doughnuts. I asked when the best time to go there to get donuts is and they said before noon. So we made our way to Tim Hortons before noon today and ordered six vanilla dip donuts and a Blackberry mint refresher. only to realize they gave us six vanilla cream donuts instead. 😑 I went back to get my order corrected and not only was he going to charge for the new doughnuts, he was charging me the 6pk price for 4 vanilla dip doughnuts.when I told him that was absurd and I wanted to speak to a manager he said "well I am the general manager and you have a nice day". so I pulled up to the window because my kid has been trying to get these vanilla dip donuts for a week now. and the so-called general manager refused to sell them to me. so I called the headquarters and made an official complaint. we were treated so poorly I will never go to Tim Hortons again.”

“Almost always good food. The people at the drive thru window are always courteous and friendly.

Parking: Plenty of room in the adjacent lot to turn around a truck trailer combination. Even large travel trailers.

Wheelchair accessibility: ADA requirements met. ??♿️”

“Probably the best Wendy's ive had in years

I showed up at like 9:30 and decided to lobby because bathroom, everything was clean and orderly. The manger guy on shift took my togo order and the whole crew seemed really grateful that i wasn't impatient with them. My food was well cared for and i really appreciated such generosity after my own difficult day.”

“Friendly staff. Got subs made to order but took a while. Small hitch with drink add on order but they made it right. Might have issues here if they were quite busy, but otherwise ok.”

“They have most amazing salad bar and coffee!!”

“This Bubble Tea shop is i would have to say, feels like home. when I walked in it was a comforting feeling, clean, peaceful, and such a cute interior design. I have to say ive went in 4 times already. They seem to have the cheapest prices ive seen anywhere near by and the cups are huge! I would definitely highly recommend to anyone who enjoys bubble tea!”

“Hands down my favorite pizza in Michigan. Small, quaint and perfect. We will be back on the Bay City area for this pizza. Thank you for perfect pizzas for a great 22nd anniversary dinner.”

“I am so sad that I neglected to come here for so long. I just ate my leftovers from my meal last night and I’m already planning my next visit. 🤤”

“Great coffee and awesome trivia on Friday nights.”

“This place was absolutely fantastic. If you're looking for a great date night spot, this is it. There is a HUGE variety of games, it's super nostalgic and there's so many games that are only a quarter still! My personal favorite pinball machine was 1 quarter to play, felt like Vegas and was adorable. 🤩 The workers were a delight, super helpful, happy to be there, kept it super clean and the pizza spot that just opened next door was delicious! We will absolutely be coming back and I hope to bring some friends.”

“Great hometown urban feel,. Definitely a locals favorite. Gilly and Diana will have you feeling like family.”

“Great burgers and the fish bites are amazing! The wait staff is amazing and the atmosphere in the place is booming everytime!”

“The service was great, the atmosphere was cozy but what really stood out was the FOOD!!! Every single thing we tried was absolutely amazing. The birria tacos alone are worth driving the hour away that I live. The salsa was great, the guac was outstanding. The rice was delicious and cooked to perfection. The refried beans were by far the best I've ever had. I will certainly be returning!!!”

“Amazing amazing amazing. The employees are SO NICE omg I want to kiss them food incredible too of course but yes give everyone a raise 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰”

“The food was delicious. I recommend the ceasar salad and 10 inch pizzas. The Calzones performing were fabulous. Lauren always does a great performance. Was disappointed that when I found a mistake on the bill, our waitress became defensive, kept overtaking me and patronized me. I hope it doesn't happen again. It was just over a couple of bucks, but that wasn't the point. To make things worse she was complaining to another waitress about what we talked about, and they quickly looked over towards us, which felt uncomfortable and unnecessary. We were having such a nice girls night out too. I do recommend Kevin's place. Hopefully, she will be more understanding, professional etc”

“Absolutely the best of Bay City! Never disappoints! Consistent in quality and quantity! We can’t go anywhere else! Kim is the “host with the most”…..we always feel so welcome. This place is an icon!”

“Talk about customer service. I needed a few Christmas cut outs. I didn’t notice the time. They appeared to just be closing. The extremely pleasant gentleman let me get my cookies. Saved the day.”

“A Great Place to go if your in Bay City”

“We go here every month for book club and they treat us so well. The tacos, tators, soup and nachos are all phenomenal. The staff is incredibly sweet and accommodating. Definitely recommend for lunch or dinner. The seating is also really cozy and fun.”
