“Had an awesome experience there this evening with my family celebrating my son-in-law‘s birthday .The waitress was awesome. Food was delicious and the place was amazing . Love the bathrooms will return and recommend this to my friends.”

“We had Regina’s at our backyard wedding this past weekend and we couldn’t recommend them enough. They were incredibly easy to work with, organized, timely, and professional while providing delicious food! Our guest raved about their tacos and served food very quickly. We would love to have them at other functions and will seek them out wherever their truck is at. Truly couldn’t recommend Regina’s food truck enough!”

“I love this place and the people who took care of us. We had a party of ten and everything was very good. What stood out to me the most was how out of the way the employees went for us. I ordered something to go also and paid for it and forgot about it and left in a hurry because I had the tickets for an event we were attending on the next block. I didn't get his name but a nice man actually came to the event to find the person who forgot their takeout order. The server remembered me saying we were going there next. He went back and got my takeout and brought it back to me. You just don't find as many people that nice who cares as much these days.”

“My sister and I came here for her birthday and this is the second year we’ve done it and the second time we’ve had Ricky as our server.

He’s awesome, professional and incredibly quick.”

“The meads are a constantly rotating selection so if you see something you think you might like...get it! It may not be there next time. The service is excellent and the whole experience is very casual. Trivia Nights are great (and loud). There is often a food truck outside during events. This is important as the only food served to ends to be bags of gourmet pretzels.”

“we didn't even get served or get any food. they refused to serve us. it took near 10 minutes for some woman to even come over and bring us to a table. after that we watched as their servers sat at the bar, and helped every one of the maybe 6 tables in the entire place that were occupied except us. they clearly have some problem with gay people as they had no issues helping any of the other guests. i watched the servers acknowledge us and just go help the other tables. we have previously had uncomfortable experiences every single time we have been there where the male servers say things under their breath until they get so irritated with us that the female hostesses have to complete our service. i truly am astonished that someone who runs a small business/restaurant would be treating people who want to eat there like that. every employee in the establishment behaved as if we made them visibly uncomfortable so maybe consider going somewhere else if you're looking for dinner. Finally, the service was already bad to begin with on top of their utter and complete refusal to serve us this last time that we tried going. I would suggest giving your money to a restaurant that isn't fully run and owned by losers who clearly don't want money!”

“Was looking for a place to smoke a cigar and have a beer. Glad I came here. Atmosphere is quite and inviting. Staff was very nice and attentive. Good selection of cigars.”

“This is a hidden gem in Ferndale, MI. The staff was great and the food was good with generous portions. The beer selection was amazing. I was a first time visitor on August 21, 2025. I signed up for the rewards program and received $10.95 off my bill. I will definitely visit this restaurant over and over again.”

“good people and great product”

“Stopped here while I was in Michigan visiting family. The staff was very nice. They had lots of vegan options and everything that was vegan was labeled. I decided to get an acai bowl. Both options had a rawnola topping and because the bowls were labeled raw and dairy free but not vegan, I asked if the rawnola had raw honey in it. They said they didn't know, so I added almond butter on top of the acai bowl instead of the rawnola. The acai bowl was pretty good, but a little small for the price. I also tried a raw apple fig ball which was yummy! Overall this was a cool place to go for lunch, but a little pricey. They had lots of options (including several raw vegan options) to choose from and pretty much all ingredients were labeled. They had a few counter seats and one outside table for seating.”

“Go for brunch, get a coffee, some food, relax, browse the internet, play board games, etc. Plenty of variety. A quirky , fun, experimental, artistic vibe atmosphere, unique for a Cafe/Brewery”

“If you are looking for a chill vibe with excellent drinks, come to Traverse City Whiskey Outpost in Ferndale! The manager, Dave is the best - he's friendly, attentive, and a true mixologist! I love it here :)”

“I always grab lunch or dinner from here & i am never disappointed! Menu changes daily!”

“The good was Great! Service was great….”

“Incredible bar, love throwing axes here, and Karaoke on Wednesdays with Marissa hosting has given me some incredible memories and some of the best nights I’ve had. Love the Corner!”

“Amazing, perfectly cooked boba! I got the classic milk tea with boba and it was AMAZING, I also got the veggie spring rolls that were perfectly fried, amazing. Would definitely recommend to any boba lovers like Myself”

“Ate here last night for Valentine’s Day date with my husband. First visit to this location and it was top notch! Our server Alejandro was attentive and on top of things and so friendly. Food and atmosphere was excellent and margaritas great. We will definitely be back ! ❤️”

“Lexy was our server / bartender and she was just phenomenal!! The food was amazing, the drinks were on point and the service by Lexy was hospitable and prompt. She was wonderful, as was the whole experience!!”

“It was a nice place I used to frequent back in the day. The atmosphere is nice inside and the food trucks are pretty cool. Located in such a calm place. I miss it actually already!”

“The steak focaccia sandwich was AMAZING!!!!! HIGH RECOMMENDED!!!!”

“I recommend going to see Stephanie. She was more than attentive we were never in need for anything! She gives a new meaning to service with a smile. My wife and I have been back many times just for her good cheer she seems to pass on to all around her! 5 stars for Stephanie and Como’s for having such a great staff!”

“The best Indian food In Michigan ,loved it and recommended to others”

“Best bathroom ever! Lol. Coffee and baked goods are also amazing! Everyone is so friendly.”

“I stopped by for a late breakfast and had "The Forager", what they call a "rumble" of eggs, mushrooms, smoked gouda, onions and greens. A great combination of flavors. It came with seasoned fried potatoes and sourdough toast. I like a place that offers sourdough. And the coffee. As someone who takes their coffee black, I am often disappointed by diner coffee and resort to cream and sugar just to make it palatable. Not so here. Whatever blend they are using is of superior quality.\nI've only been here the one time, but their menu looked pretty diverse for breakfast and lunch. Would recommend.”

“the new bourbon cheesecake is fantastic. should have gotten another piece for sure. soo good”

“We hosted a 40th birthday party here a few weeks ago and could not have had a better experience! The staff were friendly and helpful. The drinks were wonderful and the room worked perfectly for our needs. I absolutely would use Urbanrest again as an event space! Thank you so much to the entire crew for making our party memorable.”

“Love this bakery! Everything we tried was delicious. You can tell a lot of love and creativity goes into all of the food. Each item was memorable and packed with flavor. This is one of those places you keep thinking about after you leave. Highly recommend!”

“Love this place! Thanks Mike for the awesome food experience of Tall Tree Cafe. I’ve been hearing some great stuff about Tall Trees for a while and had to check it out. The menu is simple and delicious. The staff was friendly and appreciative of our business. I really enjoyed the Spicy Mortadella. The bread was so fresh. This place offers sandwiches, salads, and tasty dips. The French Onion dip was yummy. They do cold brews and hot coffee also. I strongly recommend this place. Easy parking in Ferndale.”

“Love the creativity and especially the variety in nondairy ice creams. All the delight without any of the devastation of consuming normal ice creams 😉”

“Delicioso autentico sabor peruano!!!!”

“Been here a few times since moving to Ferndale. I'm yet to have the same dish twice, and have NEVER been disappointed. The owner and staff are super friendly, my food is always ready quick, and the menu/weekly specials always have something interesting. I only wish they were open later for night owls like myself, but they're worth getting up earlier for. Go for the entrees, but don't forget to grab dessert there, too! The Coconut Cream Cake that was on special the day I'm writing this might be the best piece of cake I've ever had.”

“Very cool bar. Staff was super friendly. I would recommend a reservation.”

“I just enjoyed the Smokey BBQ Beef Brisket nachos today at Wyandotte Hospital. 10/10 recommend and sincerely hope The Nacho Grill will come back to serve us at the hospital again soon!!!”

“Amazing BBQ! Imo the best around. Very limited menu on days they are open, but that just means everything on the menu is to die for! I recommend this place to everybody!”

Great food, consistent customer service that makes you feel right at home, and the staff has been a real blessing to me, my husband, and our children! We are at Hambo all the time and love the feeling of family. Keep it up, Hambo and thank you for all that you have been to us! We truly appreciate it!”

“I had the Chicken Athena tonight. Outstanding! Fresh ingredients including fresh olives, and chicken. You could pay 2-3 times more at other restaurants, and not nearly as good as Christine's. This place is a real find!”

“strawberry rhubarb poptart is AMAZING!”

“I always get the Pad Thai. delicious and very large portions and very reasonably priced menu.”

“Omg so nice and professional!!! I'm a new customer I will be back thanks Mia and Tiara very good!. Hard to find great help,and customer service. Being young and professional that's what's up!”

“They have really good quality things , the matcha is veryyy dark green (one guy doesn’t make it right tho) . Cold brew is amazing. I wish they were open earlier but I’m happy it’s here.”

“You’ll always be happy with Papa’s. A mix between comfort American food and Coney Island. Great wraps, Pitas, Gyros, Salads and desserts. Their i house made KoolAid is amazing. Love their cookies n cream shake for dessert. I can say, we’ve never had a disappointing or wrong order from Papas.”

“The Java Hutt Coffee Shop is close to my residence locally with free wifi and a relaxed atmosphere...”

“Doner is fav menu item. Just order one and you will come back. This lil place is personal favorite food on the street here for us. Rewards program would get us out there even more.”

“Mays is a goto for me!!! I’m in love with the King Ka Lee I believe. It’s the yellow curry with rice, chicken and potatoes. Perfect for a winter day. The food is always cooked fresh and you can watch them cook it. It’s really fast I like to order when I get there because it only takes a real 5 mins. And I add a Thai tea for the spice. Ima medium + spice kinda guy. If you want to go crazy add mushrooms.”

“This was my first exposure to Vietnamese food and it was a great experience. The meal was very tasty, great portions, reasonable pricing, very friendly staff and I am so glad we ate here. Definitely will be back.”

“LUV that Caribou came back to MI
really good coffee
One suggestion- , remove all the blue paper coverings from the windows.
It looks like you guys are closed when you’re driving by
there’s a Tim Hortons just next-door with all of their windows covered in brown paper. (They are actually closed)
put blinds or curtains or something that makes it seem like there’s some life in there 🌸”

“My cousin took me here today and even though it's cold outside the burger 🍔and fries 🍟 were on fire ♨️. I most definitely will put this place in a rotation of burger places which is very limited to me now. Always quality over quantity and is place. Qualifies as quality🏅.

“place is great! now you are doing stand up nights? hell yes”

“Delicious fresh juices, smoothies, and sandwiches 😋”

“Food 🥘 was good service was great”

“Detroit Cookie Company responded right away to my inquiry about ordering a cookie cake for a friend even though it was after hours. The cashiers inside the St. Clair Shores location were also very nice and all the cookies looked so delicious I had to get a couple for myself. Very much appreciated and highly recommend!”

“Great Bagels, wonderful salt sticks. All very fresh”

“Great location.
Fantastic drink and food for the price.
Staff was fantastic the two times I've been here, had great communication while training someone.
Would visit again.”

“Good beer, good food truck! “Simply Spanish!””

“Kevin was our Bartender for my daughter’s birthday party. He was amazing and awesome.”

“Went here for my Mother's Day brunch with my husband and our two children. Started with the Billionaires Bacon. The bacon isn't much to write home about, but the sauce they put on it? Makes it 100% worth it! I got the Smothered Potatoes and added two eggs to the top, they were out of carnitas, so they used chorizo. In my option they should change it permanently! So delish! My husband got the Carnitas Benny, and said it was really good too! Will be back for sure!”

“Not sure how I missed rating The Bosco but think of it like Mr. B’s of Royal Oak (back in 2019) but in Ferndale. Hip hop/ some R&B… overall a great time. Their liquor offerings may be a bit limiting at times but it seems like they are improving over the years. Also know that usually you are able to find a deal with them on the Eventbrite app and if not cover is $20 after a certain time. Overall, 8/10.”

“I did not order food, however, the atmosphere was what I was looking for laid back rustic look inside. The service was attentive and quick Becca, the bartender, was very friendly and was engaged with all the guests, regulars, or not”

“The best of the best. Family business, great quality, amazing service. Try the drive through, 2 am, pb and j slide. Thank me later.”

“So cute good small plates”

“Friendly service! Their breakfast sandwiches and donuts are delicious! Can’t wait to try the cupcakes!”

“ICE CREAM ONLY. A severe disappointment given I was expecting a place where I could get a burger and fries to go with my milkshake. Also, outdoor seating only, the building doesn't have indoor seating, and I have gotten my order wrong before-- check before you leave. On the flip side, the ice cream here is delicious and the customer service is great!”

“I saw some reviews on here of people who werent impressed or had bad experiences and they almost drove me away from trying this place. Anyway, i went and need to say this place makes an amazing burger and fries. I hope they keep it consistent because it was the best burger I’ve had in Michigan and the fries are everything i want out of a french fry - crispy, salty, actually taste like potatoes… they remind me of belgian fries.

Give it a shot and I hope your experience is as good as mine. My arteries are doomed.”

“I’ve enjoyed myself each time ‼️🤞🏾❣️💃🏾”

“I found it nice and quiet for a Sunday during an afternoon visit; this after being absent for months. The menu offers something for every palette. Come on in for a nice bite from great cooks!”

“This was my very first time trying DWC and let me tell you it didn't disappoint. The Korean BBQ sauce is mmmm good and the lemon pepper on the fries added the Zing I needed for my taste buds. Ill definitely be back to visit them again.”

“My children and I we love tropical smoothie!!My favorite is the island green or kiwi quencher. My daughters love the mango monsoon, Bahama, mama, kiwi quencher, and sometimes the jetty punch.”

“I ordered a original Corned Beef sandwich. The sandwich was delicious, but they didn't toast the bread like I asked. It was soggy, so I just ate the inside. They always get it right when I order thru GrubHub, but who wants to pay $40 for a sandwich!”

“Wonderful food. Social distancing at it finest. Thank you Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄”

“I have gone to Orchid a few times now and the place is a great venue for dance / electronic events. Went for the Parasol events. The staff is great. Kendahl (bartender) was amazing! She is attentive, fast, personable, and makes good drinks. We always have a good time there when we go.”
