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!“

“These were hearty portions! They were not afraid to experiment with flavors and everything felt fresh and locally sourced.y favorite item was the salad, which is something I rarely, if ever say. I liked the casual vibe that was half fancy restaurant vs half butcher shop (although there was also a bar on the butcher shop side). Even better female butcher/owner/chef....
I am not someone who craves meat but I will come back to see whatever tasty concoctions that the team comes up with.“

“Townhouse continues to be one of Detroit’s standout dining experiences. The sushi is phenomenal—exceptionally fresh, with rice that’s perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, which makes all the difference. The ambiance is equally impressive, offering an upscale yet comfortable atmosphere that feels special without being pretentious.

If possible, request indoor seating facing Congress or Woodward Street. The views add another layer to the experience and make for great people-watching while you dine.

The price point is definitely on the higher end, but the quality, freshness, execution, and overall experience justify the cost. Simply put, the food and atmosphere deliver value that aligns well with the premium pricing.“

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

“Our server Kelly K was amazing, polite and friendly. Also, the view was spectacular, a total gem in Detroit, I was taking so many pictures since we got there 💟.
We had a great time in here for my partner’s birthday, definitely will be back!“

“Great friendly place with great comfort foods.“

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

“The food is absolutely fabulous, and the service is wonderful. There is not a long wait time for your food, as a matter of fact, they are pretty quick!!!“

“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.“

“The food and service was excellent!!! The stuffed salmon is a must!! The bartender customer service was impeccable.“

“Amazing customer service. Friendly atmosphere.“

“Zeff’s Coney Island is a little gem hidden in the heart of Eastern Market! I’ve been coming here for 20 years, and this place doesn’t miss a beat. The food is always consistently good, which keeps me coming back. My favorite item on the menu is the Greek omelette with feta, tomatoes, and onions – it’s simply delicious! The gyro meat is the perfect blend of lamb and spices, making it a must-try.

The portions are generous; I often cut mine into thirds and enjoy it for several days. If you’re looking for a reliable spot with great food, Zeff’s is the place to be!

“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.

Thanks for a wonderful dining experience!“

“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!!“

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

“Honestly it could be 5s all the way across if you consider this isn't trying to be a 5 star Michelin restaurant. Going with the Monday special, 7.50 for a good burger and fries you can't go wrong. 25 oz 2 Hearted for $9, most places you get 1/2 that for $9. Plus this is NOT a dive. Good prices, good fool!“

“All the food looks Fantastic 👌 😍 😋“

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

“The atmosphere was approximately 5 farts per square foot“

“We've always had a great time here , service and food always amazing , I'm sure things were off this day we went . Our server was barely at our table and rushed off anytime we asked for something without asking the whole table . Food was good but some of the pastas lacked sauce . They had to give half off one of my friends meals. But will always come back :)“

“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.“

“✨ 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! ☕🍳🥐“

“I've been coming here for 8 years now and the food continues to keep me coming back. Enjoy bringing friends and co-workers here to experience a little taste of Albanian food. Cant go wrong with the cevapi plates or the byrek. Village salad and the fresh bread is excellent.“

“Great experience at RR. Sara was our server and she was FANTASTIC! We had over 20 ppl in our party. The food was great. i would highly recommend RR and having Sara as your server.“

“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.“

“Kirby’s Koney Island in Warren is always a win — super clean, friendly staff, and the best coneys around. The food is fresh, fast, and consistently great, and the family combo meals are priced perfectly. Just an easy, reliable spot that never disappoints.“

“We were in the neighborhood for an event at Epiphany and were looking for a place to eat and have a drink before the show. We decided to try Zell's Corner based on the location and reviews, and I am so glad we did. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, the food was excellent, and the corner bar atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. When we are in the vicinity again we will definitely be back for the food, cold beer and to say hello to our new friends.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. I really appreciated that they let you sample different soups before purchasing it which made choosing so much easier. The staff is extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which adds to the overall great experience. The music selection was on point, and the restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and inviting. I’ll definitely be back!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Just all around good“
