“Home cooking at its best…“

“Wonderful BBQ ribs Had carrot cake for dessert yum! Our waitress was the best! We will be back soon!“

“I love there appetizers. French dip delicious.“

“Let’s begin with the service !!! The staff here is amazing! The food, fresh and delicious. First time eating here and I had no clue what to get. The manager Christina walked me through the menu and gave me options and safe to say, she did not disappoint! She along with the rest of the staff are very friendly and polite! I stopped by after a rush and the place was extremely clean. I can tell they’re on top of it ! 10/10 I definitely recommend them.“

“Ran into this place the day before the marathon. Sat at the bar and got recommendations on what to get from the staff. Everything was fantastic. We ended up with calamari, scallops, gnudi, and trilece for dessert. This place was one of the best parts of our trip and we're excited to return. The only thing better than your food is your staff.“

“Single women beware I was being followed throughout the building on the way to the elevators to get the restaurant. Followed by one guy that I saw, but when I got to the elevators he came to the elevators and another guy was behind him, he did some sign language to the other guy as they slowly walked by as I had just explained to the lady at the elevator I was being followed. I don’t know what they were planning but he definitely looked me in my face as I entered the Renaissance building, as he was already there, then he began to follow me as I saw him every time I looked back over my shoulder. Getting to these elevators are difficult so you have to stop and read the signage and figure out which way to go and he could’ve been gone on his way but No he didn't! I definitely felt uneasy and fearful. I was celebrating my birthday and meeting my niece there. Women be careful!!!!!! The salad was Great! The octopus was just ok, would not order again, the Halibut was bland but fair.“

“I've been coming here every other day for the last few weeks and I just love this place.“

“Literally the best breakfast sammich I’ve consumed. I’ve had several attempts to recreate this at other diners & they ALL fail in comparison.“

“The mushroom dumplings and roasted bone marrow were a spectacular story of flavor with every bite. Micheal the server was fun and had a cool shirt. The place itself is lovely and well thought out from the sustainable menu to the design - we’ll be back!“

“This is home. The heart of the Eastern Market since I was a little girl. This place and Mike's are pillars for Detroit classics. Service is always A1. My mom always gets their breakfast which they give ginormous portions and I either get a corned beef sandwich or a coney and chili cheese fries. They dont miss!“

“Wonderful experience today, got take out with great dinner specials!!!“

“We've been going to Travis for decades. It's been a local known favorite for a lot of us who grew up in this area and remember many days gone by enjoying Travis Originals with good friends and family. Their food is great and reasonable, and their servers are friendly, courteous, and attentive, and make every visit a pleasurable experience.
I have to recommend their great specials. On Thursday any of their Mexican entrees are exceptional, my favorite is the Wet Burrito, my husband's is the Quesadilla, also the Nachos Supreme. Tuesday they have really good Sloppy Joes, and their Beef Barley soup is a favorite also. Their breakfasts are consistently good, and although they don't have them on the menu and occasionally on holidays they've had crepes which were outstanding. My point is Travis has always been a local favorite for a reason and that is consistent good food, prices and service. When you do it right generations return, and every time we travel we say " You know what they need around here, a Travis ! "“

“This place is a gem .. so blessed to Have them in hamtramck. I hope they open on east Jefferson too ;)“

“Great bloody’s -you won’t b disappointed“

“AIdan is the BEST! Very compassionate about talking about my dad who is now dying. Thanks! Of course the ribs were great!“

“they can improve by not burning their customers food!!! how do you burn the hot dog and the bun??!!“

“If Katrell (Pineapple Daddy) wasn't here...I wouldn't make it a mandatory location. He makes sure my party is happy and that everything is everything. The food is excellent and the service is as well!“

“I moved to SCS 5 months ago and have never been here before. My family and I have tried carryout from several restaurants and we always end up with Gilbert’s. Great food, service & prices. I had my daughters 1st birthday in their banquet room yesterday and I’m over the moon happy with how it turned out! The staff was super helpful and always around when I needed anything. The food was great, my guests raved about the pizza and spinach dip. I would book events here in the future without a doubt. Look no further for a great American cuisine menu and staff that makes you feel like family!“

“First of all Hayden was the best server we’ve ever had in our entire life and I should know because I’ve been to a lot of restaurants. Not only did he have amazing recommendations of the menu and drinks but he was genuinely a pleasure to be around. Honorable mention for the Lincoln Logs appetizer, the most delicious appetizer ever.“

“Our Son’s wedding was at the hall tonight. First let me tell you the food was amazing! Our family received so many positive comments about the food. It was refreshing! We had the Salmon and the Beef Short Ribs Asparagus and potatoes. Do not hesitate to book your event here! Such a great time!!“

“Tuesdays are $1.50 coney island hotdogs. I ordered but the toppings of chilli mustard diced onion was REALLY what I paid for. Today I spoke to one of the delightful (and Gorgeous!) waitresses and told her I hoped to have EXTRA not OVER the top onions and mustard and what I got were THE BEST CONEYS!!! I paid a small UPCHARGE but boy was it worth every penny! Way to go Antonio's Coney Island STILL with the best Coney AROUND“

“Stopped in after visiting the business next door.
Walked in and was greeted right away and told I can sit anywhere I liked. Waitress took my refreshment order and when she came back I ordered a bowl the beef barley soup, which is one of my favorite soups. Soup was piping hot you could tell it was homemade in part basede on the cut of the vegetables. Was very good, but I added some pepper
I then ordered the super melt, which is a patty melt with added bacon lettuce and tomato, I opted for no tomato.
In between my order arriving at the table, the waitress was constantly switching out by soda, nice touch
The sandwich came to the table and I had added french fries to the order. They appear to be a seasoned or crispy style fry, seasoned right and hot. Sandwich was good size, rye bread grilled to perfection. Was very tasty
One of the better Patty melts I've ever had.
The lettuce made the sandwich a little hard to handle as it was sliding on the bread. No big deal though, I just pulled some of the excess lettuce off and ate that as a little side salad...lol.
Bacon was nice and crispy.
One of the best stops at a restaurant I've had in quite some time. I was very delighted with the food and the experiene. Highly recommend.
When I go back I want to try the lemon rice soup
Which is also one of my favorites. Thank You.“

“Food is always delicious, only issue I have is the service is not always good and the containers they package the to-go food in is Cheap material. I ordered an omelette and the cheese and moisture from the food made a hole in my paper container if I didn’t notice my food could’ve fell out but other then that the food is always a thumbs up.“

“Great food, drinks & service!“

““I had an excellent experience at Harvey’s! The food was fresh, delicious, and served exactly how I wanted it. I loved being able to customize my burger with so many topping options—everything was super fresh. The staff was friendly, efficient, and the service was quick even during a busy time. The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere. Harvey’s has definitely become my go-to spot for a satisfying burger and fries. Highly recommend!”

“A Perfect Start Before the Ballgame

Stopped in before a game at Comerica, and it was a fantastic way to kick off the day. Though the place was short-staffed, the service didn’t miss a beat. Our waitress and the busser were both clearly busy, but they still delivered outstanding service. The coffee was hot with quick refills, and our food came out fast, fresh, and solid all around. Pricing was more than fair for the quality and portion sizes. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!“

“The soups are my personal favorites. 😊 I’ve tried just about every kind they offer and they are all delicious. I usually order delivery through GrubHub, and I’ve tried several items over the years, but no matter what I’ve ordered it’s always correct and delicious. I highly recommend. 😊“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Food & Friendly Service at Applebee’s!

Had a great experience at Applebee’s! The food was fresh and flavorful—I ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp, and it was perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and attentive, though the wait time was a bit longer than expected. The atmosphere was cozy, making it a great spot for a casual dinner. Overall, a solid choice for good food and a relaxed dining experience.

Would definitely come back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food and service were excellent! I got the salmon bowl and the flavor was fantastic. We went for my daughter’s birthday and she got an awesome birthday ice cream with a giant sparkler in it!“

“I ordered delivery from a service that did not follow directions and never received the order until my neighbor found it outside. I called the establishment and the owner himself delivered the order in 20 minutes. He went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this restaurant with a side note that the food was delicious.“

“my corned beef and Swiss on onion roll was filling and delicious.not to mention quick friendly service“
