American Restaurants near Harper Woods

“Up here in Detroit on a business trip and got some of their signature wings. Some of the best wings I’ve tasted“

“This place is the one I always prefer. I visit many restaurants but to this one I constantly return again and again. The team is very receptive and the cuisine they place on your table is so tasty. I would always prefer to have a nice meal in this restaurant. I recommend this place with pleasure.“

“Great food, inventive cocktails, and friendly, knowledgeable service. One of the very best restaurants in Detroit for over a decade.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Wow, what an experience. This was truly fine and fun dining. Amazing food, incredible service and cool tunes!“

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

“We came to The Whitney for an early birthday dinner for my husband. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience there! The staff went above and beyond my expectations. The food was amazing and cost was much less than I would have expected for the caliber and presentation of our meals and dessert. For all of you paranormal afficionados, their Ghost Bar is a must. The owners of The Whitney have done so much to preserve this amazing estate in Detroit without any funding assistance from the government or grants. Please consider supporting them by being a patron the next time you are in Detroit.“

“To die for - delicious! Had the squash app with the mushroom dumplings and bone marrow. Hot damn - this was superb! I was by myself from out of town and a lovely group of girlfriends sat next to me and started a lovely discussion! Really enjoyed my time.“

“The best coney!! Staff is always super friendly and food is always delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Over a 10/10 experience! Came here after graduating college with 4 of my family members. Chris was a great server and gave GREAT recommendations for a family styled dinner. The shrimp tempura rolls were AMAZING, highly recommend the chips and dip as well as the chicken schnitzel!!
I will definitely 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!!!“

“The food is amazing and the service was even better! Ask for Myka - - she’s sweet, had all the best info in the menu, and made the experience phenomenal!“

“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 ! "“

“Amazing customer service. Friendly atmosphere.“

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

“Our server Emily was very attentive, warm and welcoming. She made us feel very comfortable. We highly recommend the rueben sandwich and THE STUFFED SQUASH! Hats off to the chef and Emily. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back.“

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

“The food is amazing. Esp the sweet chili wings. I had the "Say Less" drink. Raspberry, lemonade and d'usse. Strong but good. Shotgun shrimp was similar to boom boom but less saucy. Tasty! Service was the winner. Hostess was the best. attentive and kind. Friendly and fast service. Lots of parking and seating. Cool decor. Local art & reference. Def be back.“

“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!“

“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!“

“THE BEST PANCAKES IN THE WORLD!!!! SERIOUSLY!!! Great breakfasts, great specials, great prices!! Friendly, kind, , knowledgeable and helpful staff that go out if their way for you. Very clean with a well rounded menu. Love it here. Convenient location too.“

“I loved the vegan avocado BLT 😋“

“I got the small spaghetti & meatballs as well as the spaghetti sandwich Eminem's way. Food was DELICIOUS!! Absolutely worth the price! The small came with 3 big meatballs & loaded with grated cheese. It really was ahige portion for a small. The sandwich was also soooooo good even as leftovers!!!! The bad.... I waited like 15+ mins in the rain to order. I walked inside half way through the wait to look for someone, never found anyone. Went back outside & waited with 4 more people & no one ever came so after 15+ mins, I went upstairs to the store & asked for help. The girl working found the cook (who also takes the orders) & just happened to be on lunch. I wouldn't have minded waiting if there would've been a little 30 min break sign up or something. Honestly it seemed like he either hated his job or he's definitely overworked & maybe the only employee besides the girl upstairs Even though customer service was not good, the food was amazing & I'll definitely eat there again next time I'm in town.“

“Had a great time at East Side Mario’s. Wonderful atmosphere and food was excellent. Welcoming for everyone and a special place to spend time. I loved it here. My waitress Melissa was amazing and always on top of refilling water, bread, salad. Would definitely recommend to friends.“

His approachable nature and willingness to always be available for a conversation set him apart. Whether it's addressing questions or discussing details, Pashko is consistently reliable and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend working with him!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“The way we are greeted when we walk in the door.The way we are treated by the owner Frank and his waitress.The food is very good.Very friendly atmosphere.This is a nice place to eat.Frank is open from 7 am til 4 pm Monday through Saturday Sunday 7 am til 2 pm So come and enjoy some good food friends your treated like family.“
