Handicap parking available close to the doors. No automatic doors.“

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

“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“

“I recently dined there and had seared salmon with pomegranate seeds on a bed of black rice with cauliflower purée, and the most scrumptious carrots. This is one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. The sear on the salmon was absolute perfection.“

“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!“

“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?“

“It was my first time there went for brunch after church with friends. The service was great. The wait staff was patient, and knowledgeable because asked all kind of questions. All six of us order different kinds of breakfast. It didn't take a long time for the breakfast to arrive; it was hot and good. The portion are nice size I was full the ham might be a reason I will go back it was fresh and tender. The restaurant and the restroom pretty clean.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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...“

“try the cauliflower bites!
lots of vegetarian options, several gluten free options as well :) the nachos however were a sad disappointment check out their style before you order. I ordered steak nachos and it looked like next day leftovers, the chips were floppy and the steak looked like cooked lunchmeat??. I took a bite but couldn't eat it. Not a win for me. The pizza my husband got was amazing our drinks were great too.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“The food was amazing I ordered from here all the time even when I get customers orders from DoorDash deliveries the food is amazing far as keeping the temperature nice and warm Don't even wait long for real probably less than 10 minutes If you definitely thinking of somewhere to go get food at and go to Buffalo wild wings go on State Street not the one on the other side of town if you know you know 😉 you will be waiting forever“
