45 Best American Restaurants near Goodrich

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

“So...6 days ago my family lost everything in a house fire with no renters insurance, litterally everything including my car burned down. After the fire claimed everything but our lives, looters/criminals stole everything that was left. It's just been a horrible week for my family but really thankful to be alive. Tonight (Sunday 8.10.25) we arrived 45 mins before closing time, which we normally don't do due to both being servers majority of our careers, we just dont come during closing time usually but we had a babysitter for an hour and we just wanted to eat out peacefully. Jeb/Jebidiah was absolutely amazing. He never once made us feel rushed and answered our many questions. (seriously, I'm picky when it comes to ranch and A1 and Jeb was on it, very politely) and I cannot thank him enough for his positive attitude, attentiveness, and overall great personality. I hope he is abundantly blessed and that their other servers are as amazing as he was. We will 100% be back. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the atmosphere was calm. Like really, Jeb, I hope all the good things happen to you and we will be back and request you as our server. Great job, O'Malleys ❤️“

“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.“

“Sunday brunch—-great food and we love the host who checked with us to make sure everything was okay at our table. He made sure we felt like family. We will be back to try more yummy selections.“

“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“

“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.“

“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! 😉 ❤️“

“Thank you so much to everyone at 15th Street for making our last minute graduation party a perfect day for my baby girl. After the devastating news of not being able to have our party at our house one month before the grad party we were panicking. After discussing a plan with Madison and Collin we came together beautifully. All everyone talked about was how delicious the food was. Thank you to Ashley our server for taking care of all of us. Words will never express my love for you guys in helping give my baby the best before she goes to college!“

“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.“

“good food good prices friendly service and feel comfortable taking my grandkids and great grandkids there“

“This place has good food and the waitresses are kind and courteous. The only thing I don't like or understand is why they can't do separate orders when you're going through the drive-thru. Any other fast food place or even the other starlite on Court Street can do separate orders for each person in the vehicle but this place can't. Your total bill has to be on one bill. It doesn't make sense to me. My friends would rather get out of the car and go in and order instead of having to figure out who owes what. It's a waste of time.“

“So I will say this is my first time ordering here. Excellent food. I should say I ordered online for carryout. Larry the manager working was great. He noticed my malts looked a tad thin so they were remade for me. Everything was cooked perfect and fresh. No complaints. Ty Larry. I will be ordering again.“

“Awesome staff and some of the best food I’ve ever had 10/10“

“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.“

“The Tuscan Chicken Panini is my favorite. Whenever I come to Genesys, this is what I have for dinner. A half is a good size.
Unfortunately, I'm at the hospital a lot with my dad. But my tummy has been happy. The staff is very nice & I have gotten my family hooked on the sandwiches & wraps.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Tried Grandma's Recipes tonight and it was so good. Fresh fried chicken (worth the wait), real mashed potatoes + homemade gravy, and huge portions for a great price. Cozy, quiet vibe and great service. The fried portobello mushrooms were 🔥. Definitely coming back for the homemade coconut cream pie.“

“Comfortable Seating Great People Great Food Great Atmosphere“

“Okay! This place is AMAZING! Aesthetically pleasing, love the vibe! Atmosphere is so fun! Great music playing. The hostesses were delightful and cheerful as they greeted and sat us to our table. Erin was our server and we enjoyed her so much, she was so much fun! It's nice when you can tell people like where they work! We got so many shareables and they were DELICIOUS! I had fajitas and my husband had the g.o.a.t burger and a foot long dog, kids had pizzas including the bee sting and everyone loved it all. I highly recommend their loaded tallow fries, their chicken and biscuits and bread service. We met the owners as well and wow, such welcoming and good, fun people! ENJOY!“

“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!!!“

“We’ve been here five times now, and it never disappoints-some of the best food we’ve had! The staff are always incredibly friendly, and it’s become one of our favorite breakfast spots. Honestly, it’s a shame it took us so long to discover this gem. Oh and the pulled pork is phenomenal.“

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

“We have been here a few times and it's always good. Service is decent, food is hot and decent. The place always seems to have a few tables, but never overly busy of the times we have been here. I ordered my burger medium rare, and it was well done, but it was hot and didnt sit in the window for a long time. It was seasoned well and was still nice and juicy. The girlfriend got a chicken quesadilla and really enjoyed it. The garnish was a little odd being rough chopped salad lettuce and diced tomatoes, but the quesadilla was really good. We got potato skins for an appetizer and it was decent, just basic sysco frozen potato skins tho. Nothing is over the top delicious, but nothing is horrible either. Just, decent bar food. Def check this place out, but dont expect a 5 star meal either.“

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

“Our favorite local spot! Amazing food, fabulous service with a warm and friendly atmosphere!“

“Excellent place to come eat. Service was great and the staff is very friendly. Had quite a few drinks and ate a steak dinner. Prices are very affordable which is something you don't see anymore when going out. I highly recommend if you like good food at low prices. Great establishment!“

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

“I want to say a BIG thank you to the bar and wait staff and the Owners for having our friends and family there in our time of need and with such short notice!! Everything was amazing! Best Home Town Bar Around!“

“It was so good we had to go twice in one weekend. Great food! We had an array: Mushroom Swiss Burger, Greek Salad, Chicken tenders, Mozzarella Sticks, Coconut Shrimp and Potato Skins. All of it was delicious. We were lucky enough to have the same awesome server both nights. Shout out to Hannah for being amazing! The view is incredible and the atmosphere is comfortable. Highly recommend!“

“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!)“

“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😊“

“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.“

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

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

“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!!!“

“Food was great also 420 friendly“

“Very fun and delicious. Staff were all super friendly and took extra special care of us. One thing wasn't quite right (stones were just slightly cooler than normal), but the server noticed before any of us did and fixed it immediately.“

“Everything was perfect I do wish they cooked the steak to your pick as that is why I gave food 4 star. I have not found anything I dislike on the menu. I would say try the Mushroom Swiss Burger or the steak dinner is a great pick as well. They have special happy hours for half off apps and 5$ drinks. Stop ✋ in before or after work for a great atmosphere and the workers are the best and very attentive to your needs.“

“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.“

“Haven't been to yaya's since they left Fenton. And it didn't disappoint me. It tasted the same as I remember. Sides were still delicious 😋 so was the honey butter 🧈 for the pita bread 🍞. Chicken 🐔 was tender and flavorful. The prices were reasonable. I will definitely return. The service was good.“

“Been here many of times but today was such a different experience!

Mac was so friendly while greeting us and letting us know about the Bogo deal. He even help later answers a trivia question with us.

Jo is a fantastic server, friendly, bubbly, & patient!! She checked on us multiple times and even offered suggestions for appetizers.

The food came out quick & hot. My son even mentioned how the mozzarella sticks taste so much better then they use to.“

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