“Have eaten here on multiple occasions. Usually breakfast, but occasionally lunch as well. Have never had a bad meal or bad service.“

“Thank you Melinda for making our dinner experience wonderful once again. We've been coming here for nearly 20 years and we love it every time, absolutely never disappointed. Thank you for making my birthday celebration dinner special. As always we will be back.“

“I saw this trending in my doordash app for weeks before I finally decided to try it and I'm really glad I did. I ordered from the Grand Blanc location. I got double chicken and rice and it also included jalapenos, onions, peppers and tomatoes, and something called sizzle sauce. It was super tasty and the portions were amazing. I ate on it three different times. But what I really appreciated most was how small all the pieces were .....everything was diced really fine and mixed really well. I got the mild level spice which was spicier than I would have liked but it had fantastic flavor. I just had to chill it out a little bit with some more ranch. Those fresh jalepenos hitting. I'm eager to try some of the other items they have on their menu as they sound super tasty. This will become a staple for me for sure. They have steak and brisket and other items I'm going to try in my bowl next time. They have specialty egg rolls I want to try. Check them out definitely the service was amazing, the quality was great, the portions were great, the price seemed a little high but they're often running deals like buy one get one. A go-to.“

“I ALSO OWN A SMALL BUSINESS HERE IN HOLLY, MIKES IS MY GO TO FOR A HOME COOKED MEAL. GREAT SERVICE, GREAT STAFF, GREAT FOOD. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!“

“Had nothing I didn’t like there the chicken pot pies fabulous, would like a bottom crust though, ribs fall off th bone and turkey and dressing delicious… Chicken noodle soup, like home made. I could go on and on and great portions I always take food home“

“I’m really looking forward to see how Johnathon and Lexi continue to move STIX forward. We went for Mother’s Day brunch and the idea and attitudes behind all of the staff, including Peyton and Rocco, made the meal. This event was a learning curve for everyone involved but the food and drinks were incredible. Looking forward to going back. Get me a pool! 😉 ❤️“

“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.“

“Excellence in dining with great atmosphere“

“First time trying Culver’s. Decently priced fast food that didn’t leave me sick to my stomach after eating it, unlike some Ronald and South of the Border establishments. Everything that I ordered was good tasting and not overly greasy. I can see why people have been saying good things about the place. I could definitely see myself stopping by again if one was on my drive and I was hungry. Thanks for dinner.“

“Im eagerly awaiting your opening along with the rest of davison. Dont worry about those 2 bad reviews...when you open you will be getting tons of 5stars im sure. Everyones been talking about your place. You will be beyond packed. I know reviews mean alot nowadays but when your this level of amazing then reviews dont matter more than word of mouth. You got this!!!“

“Food is always delicious.“

“Great service for breakfast and lunch. Dinner service leaves much to be desired. After waiting 10 minutes for any service I walked out.“

“Thank you for the delicious meal this afternoon. We entertained family from out of town and they enjoyed the meal, service and comfort of the large dining room. Colorful painted flowers on the windows added a nice touch. 5 stars for the greeter, the server who was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. Your menu is very extensive and varied. I will definitely return again.“

“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 had more positive experiences here than negative, so I can’t say I don’t recommend Little Joes. But tonight was definitely an interesting experience that’ll make me dine elsewhere next time. Waiter was new or just didn’t care, by far the worst service I’ve had there. The fish was bad or overcooked and they told us that it had been noticed earlier in the day by someone on staff. They comped those meals but then disappeared. We waited at the table for over fifteen minutes and had to go to the kitchen to get a staff member to get our bill. Walking out, we saw him outback of the restaurant smoking or hanging out with other staff. Pretty crappy they couldn’t wait until their tables were taken care of given it was minutes until closing. Staff here used to be awesome.“

“The food at Ken's is always excellent, and the staff is friendly and attentive to keeping your drinks refilled. Also I recently helped plan an advent breakfast at my church for 120 women. We ordered all of our scrambled eggs, sausage links and hash browns from Ken's. Maria was wonderful to work with, as we made our order. When we picked everything up, she even threw in a huge batch of banana pudding for free! All of the ladies enjoyed the delicious food! I highly recommend Ken's for your catering needs!“

“Best Mexican food (and chicken tenders) around, a great family owned business, margaritas are large and refreshing, haven’t had a bad meal from them, carry out is always fast and the side window is convenient. Great small place to catch a game at the bar and meet up for small talk.“

“We sat out on the patio for dinner and it was warm and cozy. We have never been there before so we asked the waitress for her recs on appetizers. The Carne Asada Fries did NOT disappoint! My hubby liked the fish tacos and the rice and beans had so much flavor! Service was amazing and the food was great! Will definitely go back for more date nights.“

“We stopped in for breakfast this morning, just as they were opening, it was busy already, all at once! The staff handled the guests with grace, a smile and great service. The food was AMAZING. Even after helping settling up our table, then cooking, the owner came back to check on us and help bus the table. They did a fantastic job on all aspects!!!“

“Best food I've had at a restaurant in a long time 💯. They actually put love into their food and you can tell by their creations they take pride in their work!!! so worth it!!“

“Fast and friendly, love our waitress, sat by the bathrooms and absolutely will recommend this place to anyone. The food is home made and tastes amazing!“

“Excellent service . Food was delicious, hot and fresh. Restaurant extremely clean.“

“I've lived here for 10 years now, and the Boat Bar has been a great place to feel welcome, let loose with great music and great people. also a great job too. the family here treat you like family as well. even outside the bar. Thank you to the Hagar family and most wonderful staff. my nephew thanks you as well.“

“First time trying them and it’s amazing! Get the burnt ends. Get the Cajun rice and jerk chicken. So amazing and flavorful. The lemon cake was the perfect touch to our meal! Great atmosphere and the guy playing guitar tonight singing was fantastic!“

“Wow! Everything we ordered was super flavorful and delicious. Service was top notch! Great experience!“

“This is my go-to bar/restaurant in the area. The wait staff is friendly, attentive, and they hustle. Food is tasty and consistent, with a special shout-out to the best seasoned fries I've had in a long while... shoestring, always served piping hot, crunchy on the outside w/ a soft potato-y middle, and generous amounts of seasoning. They have a great tap list, and their taps are always clean, so you're drinking the beer as the brewer intended. Don't be discouraged if the parking lot looks crowded. It's bigger inside than you'd think, and a lot of those cars came with one person who is sitting at the very large bar. I've never had to wait for a table. Love this place!“

“Best hotdogs in the state. I come with my whole family from Lapeer to get these hotdogs. I’ve been coming for years!“

“Pamela, Stefan, Helen, and Pete are all amazingly heart warming people. Best owners I have seen in the restaurant industry. Our waitress Ila is a sweetheart. Please support them.“

“Food was great also 420 friendly“

“Everything you want to eat or drink here is absolutely amazing and whats even better is that it’s actually homemade & from local sources, mostly all organic ingredients! This is the most authentic farm to table restaurant you can eat at Genesee County and it never disappoints. My only complaint is that I wish I could eat here every week.“

“They have awesome service and the food great, they have entertainment every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights“

“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!“

“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“

“A very comfortable place with very good food and service! I love the Prime Rib on Friday and Saturday night with the Bourbon Glazed Salmon being a close second. One of the best French Onion soup bowls if you like the cheese melted over the bowl. (which I do!)“

“I came here for the first time last night with my husband for an early Valentines Day dinner. My husband ordered the prime rib and I ordered a Greek salad. Everything was very tasty and came out quite fast. Our server Ariana was also very friendly and helpful with the huge menu.“

“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“

“Great food and great service ! Waitress was so kind to my kids also! 🩷 will 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.“

“2 hours after BAB had opened up, before lunchtime, they were completely Out of French toast bagels and only 1 left of Asiago Cheese bagels. Really,???!!! That's all I came in for. They're only open til 2 or 2:30pm. Like 4 or 5 hours daily. Rrrrrrr!!! Frustrating and expensive too. Very disappointed to have to settle for a dozen of the rest of the what's left.“

“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!!!“

“Ordered for pick up. The chicken wrap was amazing, fries and tots were also so yummy. The American burger was so good. The honey BBQ boneless wings were definitely a 10/10. Staff were so friendly, the place was crowded for sure they had a line at the door for dine in. Over all I had an amazing experience I’ll definitely be returning back!

Update went back 12/15/25
We dined in we had a waitress named Hope She was amazing and attentive professional. She made sure me and my boys had what we needed and I really do appreciate her. She’s an awesome person and she made the experience even better. Food was amazing as always place was clean friendly environment Still a 10/10 for me!“

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