50 Best American Restaurants near Grosse Ile

“DISCLAIMER: I WILL L LEAVE OUT MY OPINION ABOUT THE FOOD BECAUSE WHEN I ATE THERE, I WAS COMING DOWN WITH A SINUS INFECTION. THAT CAN ALTER HOW THINGS TASTE.Coney with a small town diner feel. This is one of those places where you just know most of their daily business is from the community, and the staff probably knows most of the customers names.My waitress was named Julia and she was both witty and pleasant. The service was extremely quick and cashing out was a breeze.I must go back and visit again in a few weeks. I will update this soon.“

“Such a great family owned establishment! The owner is always so sweet and pleasant. He goes out of his way to say hello to everyone and not to mention he’s a great cook! The gravy from here is amazing! Probably the best downriver. No joke. Take it from a biscuit and gravy connoisseur! Generous portions and great price. Definitely a 👍🏼 🤤“

“Want to give a review for Chloe S. I came in with my grandparents and niece along with my 2 children, 3yrs. old and 8 weeks old. She sat us outside under the awning and was a great experience. Showed the kids a lot of attention and made sure we were all taken care of coming out and checking on us consistently. BTW the food was great!“

“Visiting Ramsey's is like going to Cheers. Everyone is your friend. The food is phenomenal. I've never had a bad meal here. Every comfort food is available and plentiful?I recommend the big breakfast,It comes with three eggs, hash browns, three meats.As well as toast and pancakes.. Truly one of my favorites“

“I attended a Christmas party at the waterfront tonight for my boyfriends company and Jazmine and Victoria were both amazing, we will most definitely be back!

Parking: Great parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility & lots of it !“

“For a stereotypical American breakfast-type chain restaurant, the food is pretty good and consistent. I've never had any real issues with my orders and IF there was a mistake it was always minor and corrected immediately with an apology and a smile.

The atmosphere is a bit nostalgic which is part of the charm for me personally. It feels old school and comforting which is nice in a fast-paced world.

The customer service is really why I'm here to write this review though. Having frequented this place so much to the point where a few of the servers know exactly who I am and what I want (lol), it's still always a pleasant interaction and warm smiles all around. If I ever move, I will sincerely miss this place.“

“Tried place out for the first time with a special occasion with longtime friends I got the barbecue chicken dinner it was great ! Waitress was attentive prices are high Not sure why the guest of honor could not have a side salad? When I’m pretty sure there was a salad bar? For this reason I am giving 4 stars“

“Jo Jo waited on us tonight. He was working behind the bar. He was so friendly and attentive. Absolutely made our to enjoyable“

“Al n wife Dona in the house today, got Marc on the flattop. New menu looks fantastic, prices went up a little. The cost of Eggs Bread and Meats have tripled in price, so they have to survive. Still lowest prices Downriver just stop complaining, if you shop at a grocery store you might know this. Had fantastic Greek Chicken Feta Fries, Chili Special and Gyro with Salad. Fast friendly delicious food 😋 always for many decades. Hot New Greek Breakfast plate 😋 WOWED Thanks Al for this fantastic creation. Gyro Meat, Eggs topped with Feta Cheese 😋, Greens topped with Feta Cheese n Warm Pita Bread a instant addiction. Totally Wowed going back for another soon 😀. She had a Double Kielbasa Breakfast plate and Delicious Beef Barley Soup cooked low n slow for about three hours for maximum flavor OMG. Two of the very best cooks Downriver Al & Mark so friendly to all the customers. They treat all customers like family, not many places like this remain. #taylortownconeyisland #greekbreakfast #beefbarleysoup #kielbasa #lowprices #greatsoup #downriverclassic #downriverfriendseat“

Parking: Parking is limited during rush hours but there's a bar across the street plenty of parking over there, just walk across the street. Good establishment and great customer service.“

“The food is delicious! The last two times we went here we waited a long time to order. The waitresses were all talking by the register. Then came the long wait for the food. People who came after us were served. This second visit we had a sandwich and an omelette. There was no reason to wait 25 minutes for the food. We were really considering leaving. Then we were going to take some food home but since our waitress didn’t come by, we decided to just pay and leave. We’ve been going to Pipers for many many years, but after the service we received the last two visits, it will be awhile before we come back. This is sad because the food is really good. The restaurant only had 5 tables with people and there were 4 or 5 people hanging around the register.“

“My husband and I visit often. We love the breakfast menu served all day. Staff is always friendly and the service is great.“

“Good breakfast and good service.“

“Great place to go when you're hungry and needing to fill your stomach. Very friendly staff and will do what they can to correct any mistake. Keep up the great work!! 👍“

“Between doctor appointments, a friend & I had lunch at Olga’s Kitchen, located in Woodhaven, MI, yesterday. The food was really good & Sabrina, our server was excellent. We received some of the best service I have ever had and I wanted to recognize her. Sabrina was very personable and very, very attentive to our needs. Due to illness I am unable to get out very often and she made this a most enjoyable Olga’s’ experience. Thank you Sabrina, are an asset to your employer!“

“Food is great monthly special and a great wait staff they remember you and your order glad they are here in Allen Park!“

“Always pleasant at SR. Did a To-Go order this time. The chicken gravy on the carved turkey dinner was delicious. The green beans were similar to fresh. Probably the steam type in a bag that is long, not a can version. My potato skins were delicious as usual. The Club was very good as usual but needed to add mayo or other of your choice when we got it home. I enjoyed my tuna salad croissant in-house more than the one I had this time. I prefer not leaf lettuce for next time. The coleslaw was okay. I wouldn't get it again but that is my choice. Hubby added pepper and some other stuff to his to make it taste better. We love this restaurant and have been going there for at least 7 years now. Friendly waitstaff and other staff. Mike has a great place to keep it alive. Lots of menu choices. Always busy during peak times. Only wish they could expand and even have a banquet room on site. Parking is always so full and if the parking lot is full, usually means the restaurant is full or you may have a few minute wait. Booths need a little more room for the larger folks that come. There are only a couple of tables with chairs so some groups have to wait a little longer to be seated at them. If you can be fitted at a booth, they are a little tight for larger folks. They can take the wall partition down in the center to seat a larger group in two booths if needed.“

“I Love Charlie's! Food is fresh and there is a Variety of options and Specials ! Plus if you are gluten free they can accommodate you! ?. You have got to try it here! The staff is sweet and friendly ? it is a hidden Gem so don't judge the area! Good Food and clean atmosphere ?“

“Went in with a large group of almost 10 coupon-carrying people right at lunch time and had a great experience. The restaurant was clean and appears to be newly renovated. The staff were friendly and were like a well-oiled machine at getting us through the line with our orders. We'll be back for sure.“

“My boyfriend and I had a memorable romantic date while experiencing the Chef Tasting at the Ambassador Golf Club Tuscan Grill. After describing our preferred palate to Chef Dan, he prepared the best meal we have ever had. Our waitress was more than hospitable and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Chef’s tasting to anyone looking for a romantic setting and an elegant dinner.“

“Good food and good service!“

“I was just at Senate Coney Island for the first time in a long time and it was exactly what I needed. The coney was solid. The chili cheese fries were great. I really like the shredded cheese they use instead of the liquid canned cheese. But to each their own. And I got a Togo breakfast sandwich for my roommate and they really enjoyed it too. And the service was exceptional. Will definitely visit again when breakfast or coney is what I’m craving.“

“Went there for lunch today. They were super short staffed, but other than the wait for the table, you couldn't tell. The wait-staff was amazing, even if there was only THREE for the whole place. The manager Katelyn (spelling?) did a great job setting expectations on arrival about wait times and was just over all pleasant. Thanks again!!!“

“Great food and great service“

“We had a birthday/ graduation party at Sibley Gardens for our granddaughter last night. The food was outstanding. Our waiter did a outstanding job along with his buser. He did things up and beyond. He cut and served the cake we brought in. He also took a family picture for us. If you want to have a special day this is the place.“

“Oh Happy day, this place closed months ago and was put up for sale. This great Greek family just reopened Monday, we had to visit. Yes same family, Ma & Pa with the daughter welcome all those long time customers with a smile. Thanks Sidney our superstar waitress, you a keeper. Check they Facebook page everyday for Specials. Had a outstanding sandwich named the Smokestack OMG. Corned Beef, Ham n Turkey on Toasted thick Greek Bread with Cheese and sauce. A true gut stuffer, could barely finish it. She had the half Deep Fried Chicken spot on delicious. Marvelous Bean n Ham Soup made in house. This folks a Downriver Gem , place been a restaurant over 80 years with different names. Easy to find just a hundred yards off I-75 the Rockwood exit. Spotless clean everything and friendly staff, a must visit. Support local small Ma n Pa business, I also have how about you?? #dixiecafe #rockwoodmi #greekdiner #familyrestaurant #greatfood #downriverclassic #downriverfriendseat“

“Our first trip today and the food was amazing. Best Reuben I have had in a long time and their hand cut fries were delicious. Restaurant was clean and service was friendly and quick. Will definitely be back.“
