“Everyone knows Starlite is great. Thats why they're the last ones standing. Flint used to have so many restaurants, most were good. Over the years they have all closed but Starlite still stands and expanded! All their food is excellent! My favorites are The Big Sicilian and The Butcher's Chop Omelette. If you haven't been to Starlite, you're not from around here and I strongly recommend you stop in for a meal!“

“I live in Flint but frequent this Applebees because it’s the only location nearby that offers good food & good service. I wish I took pictures of the food but everything was 11/10! We got mozzarella sticks, nachos, kids mac and cheese, boneless buffalo and bbq wings. Everything was fresh and delicious. The reason for the review is Chase. He’s an incredible server. He was quick and friendly and fun. He treated everyone with respect and kept checking on us throughout the night and we were here for quite awhile. It’s nice to see someone as caring and attentive as him. He is fast on his feet. Request him if you come in! Also the manager is a sweetheart as well!“

“I've only been to The Alibi one time since it's had its new name. And I have to tell you ... its DEFENINITLY an upgrade now that there is a new owner. I thought the bartenders were awesome. Extremely friendly. And fantastic service. They also had a really cool pool table. And the food is unbelievably good. They give you a big portion for very little money. I definitely recommend the place! It is a very good time. And such a chill vibe.“

“I love this bar & the customers there. I always meet new friends.! Very friendly atmosphere & the staff is wonderful. They are so friendly & I never have to wait for service because they take great care of their customers. When I go there for their amazing breakfast at 7am or afternoon/evening for their delicious pizza or corned beef sandwich the food is always topnotch! I highly recommend the Wwoden Keg!“

“I placed excellent job. The same order was placed June6, 2023 and again June 8, 2023. One order June 6th was superb. The order and chef did an excellent job. Time of order 11:08 A.M. On June 8th the time of the order was 12:53 P.M. The brisket was not tender the chef was stingy on the chicken, all in all the package was not worth $49.82 Whoever the chef was June 6th give him a raise. I cannot say the same for the order Feast for Two for the chef that served it.“

“If you're a group of people, you'll get decent service. If you're there alone you can forget good service. The food isn't bad but definitely wasn't brought straight out when done.
There are no options for appetizers if you're alone unless you want too much. And, of course, they're not usually good reheated. Single dessert options aren't much better, not that my waitress offered any to me.... she did offer dessert to the group next to me, though.
Basically, if you're out relaxing and dining alone and want good service, this is not a good place to go. Don't expect anything more than the bare minimum here“

“Ally was a great waitress, the best we have ever encountered. She made my birthday dinner so special. Please don't let her go anywhere. We will be back because of her. The hostess was very rude when we entered and should not be welcoming guests. His name was Connor. We almost turned around and went somewhere else. The manager Susie took care of our problem immediately. We appreciate her kindness and service skills. We will be back. Thank you“

“Had the best birthday dinner I've had in years here. The food was spectacular and came with the service to match! It was so neat how the had the option to self prepare the stuff on the stones at your table, never seen that any place before. Atmosphere was very comfortable, no over crowded tables squished close together. Definitely recommended this place for any occasion“

“The food was amazing! The owner was great! Had a great chat with him. Bartender was way way heavy handed with the alcohol. I love me some drinks but I couldn't finish my 2nd drink because it was too much (it was a long island ice tea)
Bartender seemed like she was NOT sober. She was very snotty. She was rude to other customers and just left the bar unattended for a while, and many customers, including my husband and I, were waiting for drinks.“

“It's all about the Stromboli here.
Other dinner food is OK, but portions to price aren't the best on other items.

I'm giving the omelet a shot this morning, so I'll post an update.
It's mainly a takeout spot for us since we don't drink, but I bet if you're drinking, it'd taste even better ?
Service as far as pick up goes is good don't know much about dine in that's why I gave it 3 stars.

Update:
The breakfast was really good and affordable.
The homemade toast was great. The omelet was perfectly portioned, and the hash Browns were good as well.
My gf had a breakfast sandwich that she said was really good.
We'll be ordering breakfast again for sure.“

“Took my daughter to Niko's for breakfast one morning. I remember it as Coty's. It's been that long since I've been there. We were pleasantly surprised at the way they remodeled. It looks really nice inside. Food was really good. I had the Monte Cristo sandwich cooked to perfection. Service was fantastic. Attentive staff and Pleasant to talk to.“

“the only thing that is irritating is when they aren't even busy they bring people over and sit them right next to you....... sometimes you don't want to hear their conversations! I never understood why they do that“

“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.“
