“Sonya was very friendly and nice. Great atmosphere with my two kiddos. Fresh and hot food. Custard machine was down but still was able to enjoy chocolate custard with brownie pieces.“

“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!“

“everyone is so nice here . my son is special needs and picky and everytime they have gone out of there way to make him his favorite peanut butter and jelly . thank you for being so great .“

“I tried everything on the menu IT WAS THE BEST FOOD IN MICHIGAN I HAD BEEN TO LOTS OF RESTARANSTS AND THIS IT THE BEST. Thank you.“

“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!“

“Came here for lunch for my birthday and our server Allie was the best I’ve had anywhere in a long time! Even when mistakes were made in the kitchen (and I was ok with it) she insisted on making it right and went above and beyond for customer satisfaction!“

“I got the Twisted Southwest Burger and added jalapeños to it and I tried Twisted Tina’s super healthy fresh fruit smoothie with the choice of fruit. i got blackberry and blueberry it was so delicious!“

“Had an excellent experience today at Los Cabos. The service was outstanding and the food even better. I already have a few favorite Mexican spots, and now this place is on the list. The hardest part was choosing what to order. I decided on the Sampler Dinner great value with a wide variety. The portions are generous almost enough for a family to share and the pricing is very reasonable. Beyond the service and food, the ambiance and décor complemented the experience nicely. Highly recommended!“

“Bf and I just popped in for dinner and were absolutely BLOWN AWAY at how good the burgers were! I wish we would’ve taken pictures. We weren’t expecting anything crazy good from a bar, but we were both very pleasantly surprised. We will for sure be back!“

“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 just want to say food was awesome. Lisa was amazing. Definitely. We'll be back very quand in friendly place.“

“great service, friendly atmosphere, good food. they give tlc to my grandkids. enjoy going here!“

“Food was great also 420 friendly“

“On 7/22 I and my service dog were denied entry at Doms Diner stating owners policy. On a post I was invited to go to Leo’s on Miller road. I had never been there so I and a friend tried it today. With my service dog beside me helping me walk, we made our way to a table. The area was clean, waitstaff were very friendly and food was great. I will be going to Leo’s again and appreciate the kindness shown to myself and my service dog.“

“Great atmosphere! loved the pork sliders and their drink menu. Will return. Excellent place for meeting friends.“

“my wife and I were in there 2 weekends ago and Helen Richardson was our waitress.... she is 1 of the best waitresses ever she's always smiling.. she always gets our orders right she just has an amazing personality and attitude“

“Had a great time here last night. Cold drinks, service was impeccable, atmosphere was elegant and the 2 sandwiches were on point. The chef came out to see if we enjoyed it and grabbed us more garlic mayo. Highly recomend .“

“Good food fun bar atmosphere“

“The turkey tacos were slappin“

“great food very affordable“

“My daughter and grand kids took me to Dom's Diner for "Mother's Day" on Sunday, May 11, 2025. Everyone's food was great. My daughter had fish and fries, one of the grand kids had the alfredo with shrimp and chicken. My other grand son had chicken and fries. The youngest had mickey mouse pancakes with bacon. It was the first time I tried chicken and waffles, they were delicious. The waitress went above and beyond, and you can't find this time of service everywhere..“

“This amazing place delivered a amazing lunch to our Emergency Room, when we were having a rough day!
The food has a good flavor and a nice crunch on their chicken strips. The little chicken sliders were fabulous. My coworker said the beef sliders were amazing. We will diffently be back for round 2. Thank you so much!!!

“Went here for my 21st birthday for the first time after having a horrible experience at Scooters and i had a BLAST!!!! Ashley was absolutely amazing and she was always checking up on us and giving us the best service. Thanks for making my birthday the best can’t wait to be back😊“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Overall, it was alright. I would give them another chance. We went for lunch. The chicken was good, not the best, but good. However, the mac and cheese tasted almost like nothing. Very watered down tasting. I was hoping for a lot of cheese flavor. Definitely not cheese pull mac and cheese. The spices they add to it is okay, but without any taste of cheese, it just didn't give "Mac and cheese" I would be open to trying their other sides though. Maybe it was just an off day for them.“

“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!“

“Due to the popularity of this quick serve grill, I knew the choices would be good, especially when I saw the pilot of my plane in line. They know where to eat. This was early morning so there were not many choices. I bought a scrambled egg burrito as it would not be too messy to take aboard. The Grille is behind security so everything one buys there is approved for taking aboard. Coffee and bottled water are available as well as other choices. The burrito was hot and served with salsa and wrapped well to carry on. I was pleased and it tasted good going down aboard my flight.“

“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here after it was recommended by the B&B we were patronizing.
Reservations are not required, but we made them just to ensure a seat. They do recommend calling 24 hour ahead for reservations.
We had a couple of drinks (pretty good), but no appetizer due to a late lunch.
I had the ribeye, which was slightly overcooked, and a baked potato (yummy). My wife had the salmon, which she loved.
She also ordered carrot cake to go and to be enjoyed at a later date.
A note on the decor - there is a lot to appreciate with the stallion wall murals and the tree art on the floor.
They also have patio seating, which we did not partake.“

“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.“

“Not a fan. The food was ok. But if you go with anyone that happens to be part of the gay community, you get an uncomfortable feeling.“

“gast delivery and nice people“

“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“

“I want to let everyone know who reads this review that the front of the house has been cleaned. We have an evening staff that works together as a team. We have lost customers because of bad seeds. Please come in and experience a whole new atmosphere... Please ask for me, KAREN!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Service was great! Food was fantastic. Was busy because it’s a weekend but it was overall good.“

“Brought my son snd my dad in for fathers day, the food was great our server i believe her name was jordan? Was great, kept my beers full l. I got the ghost pepper sauce and it was better than i expected! It made my eyes water and thats exactly what id hoped for! Ill be back!“

“I liked the food for a first time visit. Just got some chicken tenders with some mac and cheese. I liked the taste of both. Some fish was also ordered and they enjoyed the taste. A good portion of food for the price and for a Friday night, we got our food pretty quickly (ordered ahead). I would go back again.“
