50 Best American Restaurants near Grosse Pointe Woods

“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.“

“I’ve been here a few times and I’m always impressed with the quality of the food. The salads are fresh, flavorful, and made just how you like them. You can really tell the ingredients are high quality—the greens are crisp, the toppings are fresh, and everything tastes like it was prepared with care.

I love that there are so many options to choose from, whether you want something light or more filling. The portions are good, and everything is well balanced.

If you’re looking for a fresh, healthy meal that still tastes amazing, this is definitely a spot worth trying. I’ll definitely be coming back“

“Sooooo good! Just had dinner tonight and can honestly say the food and service NEVER disappoints!“

“A group of us made the quick walk over to Townhouse from the convention center. We were given the option to sit right away or wait a few minutes for a table to be cleared in the atrium. So glad we chose to wait. The atrium is beautiful! Our server, Diego, was fantastic and all his recommendations were hits at the table! He also was diligent about checking with the kitchen to ensure those in our parties with allergies/sensitivities were good with their food choices.“

“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.“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Highlands Detroit, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. The restaurant offers breathtaking views of the Detroit skyline, which made the evening even more memorable. I ordered a steak along with a seasonal side, and everything was cooked perfectly. The flavors were outstanding, the presentation was elegant, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out.

The service was just as impressive. The staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making sure every detail of the meal was taken care of without feeling rushed.

My tip is to make a reservation in advance and request a window table if possible. Arriving a little before sunset is well worth it so you can enjoy both the daytime views and the city lights after dark.

Thank you to the entire team at Highlands Detroit for the exceptional food, outstanding service, and unforgettable atmosphere. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back the next time I'm in Detroit.“

“Food was fantastic!
Service well, the waitress was nice and polite but my family had to constantly ask for items, coffee, napkins, drinks. My father asked for a second soup which she never brought, instead she brought his meal and than said ill bring you your soup. Really!!! He wanted it before his main course.
She never checked on us, we had to flag her down.
Probably won't come back anytime soon unfortunately.“

“Always a turn up when I come home!!!“

“My girlfriend and meself stopped in randomly after the Eastern Market and had one of the best meals and experience we’ve had while visiting Detroit. The Tokyo muscles were the best muscles I’ve ever had. We had a classic Bloody Mary and their hot sauce really brought some heat! We got the Carmel cookie coffee as well and that was swell as well. The environment and staff especially made the experience even better. We had Rhonda as a server and she was very pleasant and helped give us recommendations that turned out to be very tasty. Overall we were glad we chose to eat at Vivio’s and will definitely be back next time we wander to Detroit.“

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!“

“Had a mix up with drive through order, didn't get toppings on veggie burger, turns out employee in trainee. We can understand that.

Harvey's offered to make my next meal experience much better, Thank you for that, comped our combos for the next time we came back to compensate for the inconvenience.
Very appreciated!!
It's not a Harvey's burger without all the toppings on it, you really can't just add at home!
Thank you to Store Manager Amber for a quick reply and fixing the problem asap!“

“✨ 5-Star Breakfast Spot! ✨ We absolutely love having breakfast here. The food is always incredibly fresh, and their biscuits and gravy are truly out of this world — the kind of dish you think about days later. 😍 The whole place has such a cozy, hip vibe that makes it the perfect spot to start the morning. Great food, great atmosphere, and consistently great experience. Highly recommend! ☕🍳🥐“

“We stopped in Central Kitchen + Bar this past Sunday, 9/21, for brunch before the Tigers Game. What a fantastic experience! We were greeted so kindly and had the pleasure of Brandon serving us. He gave us many menu recommendations and checked on us continually. The atmosphere of the restaurant was “elegant and fun!” We’ll be back the next time we visit Detroit. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“This is a very friendly place to eat. Management and servers are great. The food is tasty, standard coney island fare. They have a back room for private parties or meetings that is easy to book (you just ask). Our organization has used it many times. I recommend this place for a friendly, informal lunch or dinner.“

“I came all the way from New York and decided to try Jakova Grill, and I’m glad I did. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The grilled meat platter was tender, juicy, and served with a delicious fresh salad. The portions were generous, and everything tasted homemade.

The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. You can tell they take pride in both their food and customer service.

If you’re looking for authentic Balkan-style grilled food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I will be coming back whenever I’m in the area. Highly recommended! 👍🔥🥩“

“I work in the area and dine in and get carryout all the time. I've never had a bad experience the food is always amazing and the service. I highly recommend the Chicken Monterey. No other restaurant is beating theirs. Reheating left overs in a tin pan@350 for 15 mins omg. First off they make rice perfect. Reheating makes dinner thru the roof oven baked.“

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

“great food and service...“

“If you're looking for a place for meet and greets, chill vibes to kick back after work or just to hang out downtown, Firebird is the place. The food was 10/10, service was prompt and everyone was very welcoming. Clean and well kept establishment, I will be back for sure to another green tea that was made to perfection.“

“I had a delicious biscuit and a Black Tonic! Very interesting beverage if you’re feeling a little daring - I liked it!“

“Clean, friendly, attentive, excellent food. You can tell right away when you walk to the door that the owners love this place and are proud of it. I had the steak and eggs, both cooked to my rare/over medium delight and my rye toast actually came with my meal. So important. Loved our waitress Becky. I'm from Sfld and my sisters are in Mt. Clemens. We will make this our meeting spot from now on.“

“Had a great time at Shores Inn! The food was absolutely amazing, but the highlight of the visit was definitely the service. Annie and Alexis are fantastic bartenders who bring great energy, mix excellent drinks, and really know how to take care of their guests. They keep the atmosphere fun and welcoming the entire time. If you're looking for a great meal and top-notch service, you definitely need to check this place out. Management is very lucky to have such a hardworking and personable team behind the bar. Highly recommend!“
