“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!“

“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.“

“This was our first time stopping in since moving to the area about a year ago. Their parking lot always looked busy, a good sign! Great staff, Lindsay and April are awesome! Drinks were delicious 😋 I ordered the chili, very yummy! Enjoyed live entertainment, a guitar player country singer. We'll definitely return!!!“

“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!“

“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!!!

“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..“

“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“

“We had a 50th reunion meet and greet here and the management and servers went out of their way to make sure that our evening was flawless. The servers were very attentive and pleasant. The food was beautifully displayed and kept fresh throughout the night. I definitely will use this venue again and will refer others. Thank you, David and Sweetwater“

“great food very affordable“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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😊“

“Black Rock use to be our favorite steak place until two of our favorite servers left. Now our visits are far and few in between. Most of the time service is average to not great. Not sure when but they have new menu. Price have gone up. Some of the sides that came with the signature sirloin are now an extra charge. The circulation in the building isn't great and the floors are slippery. I hate smelling like steak afterwards.“

“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“

“gast delivery and nice people“

“The best Stromboli around“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“I had a WONDERFUL experience tonight! The food and service was fantastic (The wings were beyond delicious and everyone else in my group enjoyed their food too). Our server Nick was very attentive and was quick with refills and had a fantastic personality. I was also impressed that I ordered food for 5 people including 2 appetizers and it was only a little over a hundred, I pay more than that at Applebee's and the food isn't half as good. The band playing was incredible (I'm biased haha) and the DJ afterwards played great dance music! I can't wait to go back! Highly recommend! 10/10“

“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.“

“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.“

“Please give waitress Donna a 10 out of 10 for excellent service!!“

“My dad's go-to whenever we have lunch. The food is good and the service is friendly. Reasonably priced and has always been tasty. If you sign-up on the app you can order free chips and salsa. After so many points you receive other freebies. You also get free dessert on your birthday and you can choose any one off the menu.“

“I loved my server she was the best i didn’t enjoy the manager being unprofessional infront of guests and not treating our server with respect and I also wanted to say which manager it was for your experience for when you guys visit ihop. Her name is Christina she isn’t a professional manager I already filed a complaint for her. My server name is ireyala she is so great if you want to have a great time ask for her.“
