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.“

“Had a couple drinks and apps out under the covered patio . Good food.“

“I recommend their food. It’s fantastic!! Great atmosphere! Great service. The owner is a great guy.“

“Very generous with the pork sliders. Will come back again.“

“Service was great. Waitress rocked ...Yesss“

“Best liver and onions!! Breakfasts are great“

“I have lunch here about every two weeks. My best impression, is having a floor manager, visit the table, during my visit, to ask if all is well. Having that backup, besides a waitress, is excellent customer care!“

“The food was absolutely amazing! I’ve had a lot of prime rib and I’m not even exaggerating when I say this is probably the best prime rib that I’ve ever had. I shared your page with my 30,000+ followers as well. Very happy with the experience all-around.“

“So clean, and the decor is fun and comfortable. Food is excellent and so is the service.“

“I love this little gem 💎 they have the best breakfast. Gyros are good, too! No complaints. The waitresses are great to.

Vegetarian options: Best omelets

Kid-friendliness: Kids menus available

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure“

“I met up with my family at On the Rocks for Tuesday $1.00 burger night and the food was very good. They have awesome fried rice there too. Everyone in our party really enjoyed the food. The staff was great. They genuinely cared about the service they were delivering. We will definitely be going back there again!“

“Great meal - great people and very clean.“

“This is a grip of nostalgia from the word go.

This restaurant is never more than it needs to be. One person on the grill, one waitress, and a great lineup of breakfast and lunch options.

The place is cash only, which is not something you see everyday. And EVERYTHING on the menu is under $10.

You won’t find a better value for breakfast in the area. The cynics would say it needs to be renovated, but if they do it would take away from the charm.

Nothing needs to change about this place. We will be here again. Thank you“

“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!“

“Great food. And super nice waitress need to stop in....“

“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 👍🏼 🤤“

“Great local bar with good food and good drinks“

“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“

“Stopped in to get a quick bite to eat, was served my food within 10 minutes of being there and the fries and burger was amazing 🤩 the cook even took time out to make sure the food was to my liking 👍 will def be coming back! Thanks for the great food! Sorry I ate my food to fast to take a picture 🤣“

“We would eat here again, tasty sliders!!!“

“This place was awesome. Cool bar, great food the owner Bobby was a top notch host. Definitely going back“

“I had my wedding at The Waterfront Wyandotte and everything was perfection!!!! All of the guests raved about the location, the food and the staff!!! My husband and I could not be happier!!! The staff specifically Jaz, Aubree, Matt, Rochelle and Alyssa were the sweetest and so on top of everything. They are the best staff ever!!! Thank you guys so much for giving us all the most memorable day of our lives!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Excellent food, excellent service!!!“

“My wife and I ordered the “Fish & Chips” When I tell you we have found our new spot for Fish in Taylor “We found our new spot” The fish was fresh & flakey, batter was light and crunchy, the tartar sauce had a good amount of relish in it. Not all mayo! Our dinner also came with soup, (3 to choose from) chicken noodle, lemon rice, and clam chowder. We chose clam chowder, very flavorful & packed with clams. This spot is right down the street from my grandkids house. I have been there many times with them but I did not put two & two together when we ordered our carry out. (Door Dash) Now that we know, you can count on us being repeat offenders. Thanks for the great meal we will still be in with the grands for Sunday breakfast lol. 5+++“

“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“

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

“let's raise the price of everything cut back what you actually get and think we won't notice you just lost a long time customer this is supposed to be corned beef hash“

“We had our January baby shower at Lakes of Taylor & it was perfect! From planning it all in advance to the day of the event, the communication was seamless & they made sure our event was exactly how we envisioned it - definitely would host another banquet event here!“

“Zukin's Rib Shack holds a special place in my heart. While I do genuinely think the food is some of the best around, . Growing up, my family got Zukin's all the time. My dad and I are pizza afficionados and would get pies from this place all the time. I remember having for my birthday, When my dad got sick, all he ever wanted to eat was a pepperoni and mushroom pizza from this place. Even as he lost his appetite and his hair fell out, even when he didn't feel like eating anything else, he'd eat his pizza and those brownies.

Unrelated, my grandma was a fan of the ribs and I agree with her opinion.

Next month, I'm taking a train across the country to start a new life in the New Mexican desert. Before I leave downriver, I have to grab me a pizza and maybe some ribs. And tbh with you, if you're thinking about grabbing food from here, you should. It's delicious, the prices are fair, and it's down to earth.“

“Clean place with friendly service. First time trying their burger. Bacon, beef & cheese were great. Toppings were crisp & fresh. Bread could be toasted much more. Will try toasted sourdough bread next time. Way tastier than any other fast food burger.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and great service“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Kristian is by far the best and most fun waiter I have ever met! He always greets our parties, even large parties was such welcoming enthusiasm. His orders are always accurate, his personality is unique and exciting for not only adults but children as well! The food is great, The service is excellent! 10/10 would recommend“

“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.

“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 with some people, it had good food but they forgot my fries. Only problem I had was that they brought out 3 out of the 4 dishes and left one of us without food for a solid 15 mins, only after my individual complained did they get their food. Really loud and packed place if your up for that, not a bad spot to eat.“

“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!“

“ABSOLUTELY the Best best!!!!!“

“Thanks to my server Jean, I had the BEST country fried steak....it was a whole lot of the South on that plate....finished it all!!!!“
