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

“If you're craving a burger that's both mouthwatering and a serious challenge to finish, you've come to the right place! This is hands down one of the best burgers I’ve had—not just in town, but anywhere. The patty is huge, the meat is top quality, and the flavor is absolutely on point. The smoked ribs? Unreal. Tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Everything here is fresh and charcoal grilled to perfection. The lamb kabob was incredible, but my current favorite is the eggplant mix—it literally melts in your mouth. The chicken is juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. And don’t even get me started on the wontons—so good! I’ve never left this place disappointed. Highly recommend if you’re looking for bold flavors, generous portions, and consistently amazing food.“

“Sliced brisket was 80% fat. The cornbread was uncooked. The 1/4 rack contained 3 short end pieces. Not worth $50.“

“My parents have said for some time that this pizza was the best in the area, and I finally got to try it today. They were right! We had their round supreme and square Hawaiian with a side or marinara and ranch. The sauce on this is pizza is perfect - very fresh flavor but not too acidic. Generous on the toppings, quality mozzarella, and the bread is some of the best I’ve had. Do yourself a favor and stop by Little Italy!“

“My friend and I had lunch at Coriander Kitchen and Farm yesterday 6/23. We came back because we enjoyed our first visit last year so much! However, at this visit the food was not so good. I ordered fish and chips and my fish was overcooked and the french fries were not hot. My friend ordered smelt which were awful and greasy which we sent back. We asked for lemon which never came to the table and our waiter seem to be the only one there and they were busy so I don't think we got the attention that we were due. I know this establishment can do better, so I will be going back. But yesterday's service and food were awful.“

“Louis’ slab suce gives the old TBQ vibes. I’m not sure if it’s the exact recipe but if you’re from the Windsor area, you know of what I speak! It’s smooth, not too sweet but not spicy either. It’s delicious…please retail it in London! Do you?“

“I ordered a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving and it was DELICIOUS! The smokey flavor was excellent and the turkey was perfectly packaged and easy to heat up on Thanksgiving. Everything was ready as promised when we arrived and the staff was helpful, friendly and prompt! I will order one again next year!“

“I was hard-core craving Mac and Cheese Pizza only to find that nobody makes it anymore....and then I found Pizzianos. I had people recommend them before but hadn't made it over there...but now I had to! The food...omg! Delicious. I dont even have words to describe the cinnamon bread. Perfection. And on top of the food being amazing, the customer service....superb! The gentleman i interacted with was beyond friendly and informative and I am now sold as a regular customer!“

“First time here. Tried the Chicago style. Heavy! The sauce and cheese are very good. Sauce is very robust & tomatoey and the cheese blend is more flavorful than most places. The inside is small, typical of a pizza joint. Couple of chairs and tables adequate while you wait.“

“I had a taste for barbecue, went to Ken on Gratiot and they were closed, so I Google barbecue near me and Stonewood Smokehouse came up on Utica and Gratiot. I thought I walked into the Twilight zone the place was a bar I was looking for a restaurant. But the owner Gary saw the look on my face I was ready to turn around. He was like come sit down, want a drink, I told him no he asked me what I wanted I told him ribs he had the waitress bring me a menu he was very nice. So I got a rib dinner. And when I tell you those was the best ribs they were so good and the greens had a nice kick. A must try.“

“Detroit soul is possibly the best meal from start to finish I've had in years. Walking in you notice how delicious everything smells, how clean everything is and how friendly everyone who works here is. The food is top notch. The breadding on the catfish fritters made my mouth water, the greens made me want to write home, the mac and cheese was perfectly cooked and the meatloaf was so tender and tasty. Then the dessert! Peach cobbler that made me make obscene noises, the creamy vanilla scoop and the amazing red pop sorbet were bursting with flavorful perfection. I highly recommend going here and trying everything.“

“This was my first time ordering from this restaurant and allow me to say that I will be ordering again…and again, I am sure. I ordered the catfish with a side of yams and collard greens. The catfish is the best that zi have had in years and the collards and yams were excellent! It is clear that care and love went into the food preparation. I must also say that the folks running the restaurant and providing service made my experience even more pleasant. I count myself as fortunate to have found such a wonderful restaurant as this. Thank you!!“

“Big Ken's has the best barbecue!“

“Great food, drinks & service!“

“A group of about 10 of us stopped in on a Monday for happy hour - there was a nice crowd, music was playing, sparsely decorated. They have a great patio right on Woodward which is why we came, but it ended up raining. Although only one bartender was working, cocktails came out fast and tasted fresh and good. They have an interesting n/a mocktail made with homemade cordial and soda - I didn't try it this time, but it's good to know they have an option other than soda and lime. The aperol spritz looked good as did the spicy margarita. A good place to catch a quick drink.

They have an interesting food menu - sushi during the day and late night, and bbq for dinner. Maybe a little odd, but I remember when this place was Oslo and had the best sushi, so maybe it makes sense? I'll have to come back to try the food. Everyone working has also been really friendly, so I'd come back. An excellent location if you work downtown.“

“It's finally time for me to share my exceptional experiences with this location. I typically visit Texas Roadhouse Roseville once every 2-3 weeks, and I exclusively sit at the bar, whether I'm by myself, with my wife, or with friends. The reason is simple: the bar service is outstanding, and their hospitality is simply unmatched. I'd particularly like to recognize two amazing bartenders, Jackie and Nellie. While all the bar staff I've encountered have been excellent, these two are incredible to watch together. Their teamwork and connection while managing both a packed bar and an intense service station is remarkable. They handle everything while maintaining genuine smiles, offering warm greetings, and delivering fantastic service. The bar atmosphere feels just like your favorite local watering hole, where they don't just remember your name, but know exactly what you like to drink. Often, my favorite cocktail is being prepared before I've even taken my seat - that's what I call exceptional service! I witness this same attention to detail with other customers too, as they too are greeted by name. Considering I'm only there every 2-3 weeks, their ability to remember customers' names and drinks sets this restaurant well above any other chain I've visited. This personal touch is typically only found in beloved neighborhood bars. In the 10 months I've been coming here, I've never had a disappointing meal. I've explored various menu options beyond their excellent steaks, and everything arrives with perfect timing, allowing enough time to enjoy appetizers or salad/chili before the main course. If you need anything extra (condiments, cheese, etc.), the attentive bartending staff responds quickly, even heading to the kitchen themselves if necessary. This recognition of the outstanding bar staff is long overdue. After experiencing their wonderful service again this past weekend, I felt compelled to take some time to write. Thank you for consistently providing a dining experience that keeps me coming back!“

“My pizza for the last 5 years has been excellent. The service is awesome. Delivery is awesome. The people are awesome. They have never failed me just one time, but he corrected it. And I've been extremely happy ever 5 years. I will not buy my pizza nowhere else.. 5 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ 🌠“

“Amazing experience and taste“

“Great food and really nice employees.“

“Great atmosphere in the rooftop. Heaters and blankets if you need them and aaaaaahhhmazing craft cocktails.“

“Been looking for a great pizza since I moved to the neighborhood. When I tell yall . This pizza Was delicious, IT WAS HOT . It hit all levels on my New Favorite place . The calzone was flavorful, juicy and very very close to the calzone I ate at least once a week from hungry howies before they discontinued it . It was full of content and not hollow at all . I smashed it . . This place was amazing. They were friendly. I will be back . Thank you for good service and GREAT FOOD“

“Amazing place to eat my kay n e make the best orders“

“2 weeks ago, me and my brother ate bruch here, and it was really good. The music was right, our waitress was friendly and the building is a very large loft space. We enjoyed it alot!!!“

“The pizza they serve here are great. I have no problem with the food they serve here. Keep in mind that the other reviews are old, from 2018 and 2015. Don't let these review stop you from trying this place out. Their bbq pizza are to die for and I suggest trying them out. There is one down side to this place though. The price tag. They can be little expensive but I think it still worth it if you going out once while kinda thing. It wouldn't be the kinda deal where I would go every week. It still good food. Give it a try.“

“It's better than Hungry Howies in terms of service and flavor. I purchased the 2 for 9.99, and ordered 2 large 1 toppings pizzas. It was ready when we arrived. I've also ordered for delivery before and didn't have any problems. The sauce is a little sweet, thats why it wasn't 5 stars.

Update: If you order the salad, make sure they pack everything separately, because it seems like the lettuce may be kept in water. I ordered a salad which was perfect on the first day, but completely soggy by the second day. Thankfully, I had lettuce in the fridge, so I was able salvage most of the salad fixings. Also, make sure you can share the salad because it is rather large for one person.“

“Amazing food and never disappointed! They rock!“

“Happy’s makes me happy again! I haven’t been in a while so to walk in and see a whole 360 had me shocked but baby it was needed it was super clean, organized, the guy at the cash register was nice even though the people before was nice as well! My pizza was the best tasting and looking pizza since I started coming here a year ago. Definitely will be back more often with the changes! <3“

“Nice music nice food, gorgeous women“

“Happy’s is one of the best spots i’ve had pizza at. I ordered their large meat lovers and it was packed with meat. I have never seen a pizza spot where they’ve been so generous with their toppings. As well as their amazing staff, everyone was so kind and made you felt welcome. I will for sure go back to Happy’s any chance I get.“
