“Always a great time at the cabin!“

“our waiter was very nice , food was good, but there was a younger child, don't know if he was working or just being a goof...he was behind the counter, must have been 12 or 13...needs some work“

“We just rented their party room for a graduation party, and I cannot say enough about how amazing Amy was and she is so easy to work with. Everything was so perfect. I highly recommend using their party room for any of your parties.“

“Best Burger Joint in the Area!!! Best Fries and Best BBQ Sauce!!! As my son would say, NO CAP lol“

“We didn’t realize that on Saturday they would close at 2pm. Although the parking lot was nearly empty we decided to look and see if they were still open. Len greeted us and said they had closed at 2. It was now after 3. Even though they were closed they let us come in to use the restrooms and offered to let us drink a beer outside in plastic cups. All the employees were friendly and didn’t act put off that we were there. That is customer service at its best ! We will definitely go back again ! Thanks everyone for your stellar service ! 😊“

“great food!!!“

“Thank you, Alex's Railside Restaurant for your huge contribution of feeding the crew of the"Followers film" 2021 in Sanford, Mi.“

“I was craving a good bar burger and Google pointed me here. It was so good I went back a few days later for pizza. I can't speak to the atmosphere as I have carried out on each visit but everything I've ordered has been outstanding.“

“I wish every fast food place was like this Culver’s. They are just pleasant people. We’ve always had a wonderful experience and we go at least two or three times per month to this location. My latest visit was through the drive-thru and an African-American lady served me who was just so kind and down to earth. I wish I would’ve caught her name. Love this place and love these people!“

“visited for the first time today and it was amazing..Very good food but better customer service..We will be visiting again“

“First time and definitely not the last! We had a great meal all around. The wedge salad was so good with ranch dressing and bacon cooked to perfection. We had one of the specials which was a play on posole with sweet potatoes and also had the walleye. Both delicious. The chocolate cake and pineapple cake were both heavenly. Not a crumb to be spared. We will be back.“

“It is a very homey feeling inside, the staff is very friendly and make sure everything is good and they are great at making sure your drinks are full! The food is great and it is very reasonably priced!!! Their hot turkey sandwich is AMAZING!!!!! Great place for comfort foods!“

“The food was amazing, and the service was commendable! The server was the only one working and she had a bit of a rush when we got there, but she was still professional, timely, and made sure our drinks were always full. The waffle fries were so good and crispy, and the Philly steak wrap was so flavorful. We also loved the Southwest wrap with that sauce! We will be going back!“

“I love eating at Tims Tony. I especially love the turkey dinner plate. Not processed turkey, but the real McCoy. The restaurant reminds me of Cheers on television, because of the friendliness.“

“Was so busy people were huddled in their vestibule aka front door 🚪 was so busy they shut down the online ordering was shut down and the port dude at the curbside 🚪 was running around in the controlled chaos. However I do have a tiny little issue. When you order a salad 🥗 for example inside it's a big platter full of goodness but I ordered to go it was far less sized yet paid full and same price but was almost half sized smaller. so 🤔 was I ripped off? Or is this normal for to go orders?“

“There is one issue and others have same issue with is they close so early at 2pm it's very hard to dine here finding them open. Which automatically make us go to other places. So you need longer hours just do. Otherwise it's a top notch place with incredible food and seating area.“

“I got the Caesar salad with chicken and my wife go the beer battered cod I believe (special for the day). We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. The staff was friendly and attentive. The one annoying thing (and I don't believe this is even on the restaurant, probably the plaza owners fault), the lights in the parking lot were still off even though it was dark out. Just something to keep in mind if you are going at night.“

“My previous experience at Applebee's on Tittabawasses in Saginaw, wasn’t pleasant, as I encountered poor customer service and received unsatisfactory food. I reached out to the restaurant corporate to make them aware of the issue, not seeking any compensation. However, Applebee's did send me a gift card as an apology. Today, while handling some business on State Street, I decided to give Applebee's another chance. I sat at the bar and ordered the same dish, chicken Alfredo. To my surprise, it was delicious and my server, Jo Etta, provided exceptional customer service. This experience has restored my faith in Applebee's.
Thank you, Jo Etta“

“I've never seen such huge portions. The food was delicious and came out quick. The staff was very attentive.. We sat at the counter and the cook engaged in conversation with us and was so friendly.“

“The staff were so friendly, waited on us several times. Kids loved the free ice cream cones. Thank you for your excellent service in a time our family needed a good friendly dinner.Good Bless you.“

“Location: Easily Accessible... However, I was a little confused about CAT'S being on the front and no real roadside billboard or signage.

Food: Absolutely on point. Fast, and HOTT

Staff: Welp... The service was great. But staff was RUDE AF! ?? I loved it. Sarcasm through and through. All novelty aside, they made sure I knew what I came into before going.

This is a rare, novelty, fun experience. I will be going back with some family and friends. Next door they have corn hole, axe throwing and some other games. Live music and a DJ!“

“Always great food and great service! Cheese sticks, burgers, pizza are always great!“

“We celebrated my grandfather's birthday and we all loved it. Very worth the try. It is now called PAZ but it is the same big sign outside, and nice.

Vegetarian options: If you don't do cheese, just ask for it off, they make it all to order, they have dairy free breads too.

Dietary restrictions: I'm allergic to all things milk, and they have options for that. They were very thorough with my questions and their answers. I also happen to be pregnant and they were happy to accommodate.

Parking: Inside an outdoor mall, easy to park.

Kid-friendliness: The place is big enough, spacious enough and even though I didn't have my kids at the time it was clearly capable of having kids and have kid friendly options too.

Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are wide enough for wheelchairs and walkers to go through with ease. I didn't notice if they were electric though. I don't think they were though, like that button some places (mostly doctors and hospitals) have to open the door...“

“The home made cheese sticks are amazing 👏“

“Taylor is the greatest sever and the food was bomb!“

“My family likes to try new things so we stopped here on our way home from my son’s football game. Our waitress was absolutely fantastic. She was kind and attentive. We never had to ask for a drink refill. The food was fantastic and came out fairly quick! We will definitely go back when we are in the area again.“

“Mike our server was wonderful. Food was good. Will be back.“

“Friendly service from the staff. And the manager Kait was helping in the Kitchen along with helping out at the counter. Great teamwork everyone!“

“awesome wings... and enchiladas soup 🍲😋“

“Wait staff is amazing!!!!“

“Each time we go into Boston's, I wonder how the experience can be much better than the last one...and every time it is. The atmosphere is relaxed and the food is quite good, while the people are great and always friendly. Evan absolutely crushes it with the service and patience, as we usually have kids with us. When Bennigans moved out I was sure that I wouldn't like anything that replaced it nearly as much. Rarely have I been so glad to say that I was wrong.“

“Ordered delivery today 7/20/25 and the food was amazing! Hot fresh and delicious! It arrived quickly and again tasted AMAZING! Was just what I needed after a long weekend great on the ausable river!“

“Best Service I have ever received offered by chandler. Soup was as amazing as his eyes!!“

“Good food and good waitress. Quick service. Store needs to be cleaned better. Dust hanging off center partion and glass in it needs to be cleaned. Lots of dust on top of lights. Dirty bathroom floors“

“Our waiter, Caleb, was so awesome - great energy and super attentive. Made the experience that much better!“

“Will not go again. This is a steak house and after making three attempts to make a filet mignon steak correct, still all three were mushy, gray, not seared and unable to cut. Ordered medium rare and never came back that way. Lobster tails sent out under cooked had to be sent back. Not charged for meal but made a special dinner not enjoyable. Our server was excellent.“

“Stopped in the other night to pick up a burger for dinner. Had a rum & cola while waiting. There was two waitresses working, I delt with both, not knowing which one was assigned to my table. Both were very friendly & made me feel welcome, both were working hard but smiling the whole time. The burger I ordered was delicious and made the way I wanted. Thank you Auburn Hotel, I'll be back!“

“Thank you so much for letting us have are Wildheart Wildlife Rescue fundraiser“

“This place is a godsend because the takeout from BDubs on Bay Road has burned us on more than one occasion. The Go location on State Street has been fantastic. Food is good and fast and service is great. On one occasion, I got my food and took it out to the car to double check it and an employee ran out with an order of fries they forgot to put in the order. That was an extra mile and was incredibly appreciated.“
