50 Best American Restaurants near Highland Park

“Good food and very nice people that works there“

“Hands down the best coney in HP. The grilled chicken salad is everything. It’s made perfect every time. I have no complaints. I’ve only had an issue with my order twice and both things they staff was nice and rectified the situation. I recommend this place to everyone.“

“Okay, check this out:

Yo, lemme tell you about this spot, manhattan fish and chicken on Woodward and Davison I hit them up last night, craving some serious Chicken wings. I ordered online, which was smooth, and my stuff was ready exactly when they said it would be. The guy at the counter was chill, even though they were slammed.

I grabbed a 3-piece chicken and some fish The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside – not dry at all, which is a major win. And the fish? Flaky, perfectly fried. Not soggy, not too greasy, just right.

Honestly, this place is my new go-to. The food is fire, the service is quick and friendly, and it's exactly what you want when you're in the mood for some good ol' fried goodness. Five stars all the way!“

“Unique dining experience! Celebrated my birthday with my husband AND some new friends we met there ! 100% recommend!!! This is one of my new favourite places!!! Will be back for sure!!!“

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

“Really enjoyed our visit here! We were seated right away, and our food and drinks arrived quickly without any long waits. We started with the calamari, which was fresh and nicely prepared, although I think it could have used a more flavorful dipping sauce. The steak frites were the real highlight—the steak was cooked perfectly, and the fries were crispy and delicious. Overall, it was a smooth, relaxed dining experience with good food and quick service. I’d definitely come back again.“

“We dined here prior to seeing a show at the Fisher. From the minute we walked in we were so Impressed. The staff at the door were super friendly and took us directly to our seats. The waitstaff was extremely attentive, and the food was amazing. We cannot wait to go back. We highly recommend!“

“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.“

“This place is awesome. The service is incredible. But the food was even better! The interior of it takes you back to a simpler time. Family owned and operated. The server was the sister of the cook. The coney dogs didn’t stand a chance. Fries were so crunchy and delicious. While there, the folks sitting to the left of me ordered breakfast. I’m definitely coming back just based off of how good their hash browns looked. 10/10. Definitely coming back!“

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

“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“I had a wonderful dining experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend the tasting menu paired with the matching beverage. AJ was great.“

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

“This meal had so many memorable moments. The Maine oysters with Prosecco were incredibly fresh, crisp, and refreshing—a perfect start to the night. The Brachetto was another standout and easily one of my favorite bites of the evening. We also tried the Wagyu short rib, which was tender, rich, and the ultimate comfort dish. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. A fantastic experience overall, and definitely a place I’d come back to again.“

“This place has some of the best food I’ve had eating out on a long time hats off to the cook that made my steak! The waitress was friendly and courteous this place really made my morning! Ty Fords Garage!“

“We came here for our anniversary and we will definitely be going back! The service was amazing, our waiter was very friendly and helpful. The food was so good, I got salmon and ordered a second one to go, my husband ordered steak and a lobster tail and he was very pleased. We sat outside and ate and it wasn't too noisy or too much going on. Great experience, great service and great food, the bill wasn't outrageous either. We both agreed that this is a place that's worth visiting often. I highly recommend going there if you haven't already been.“

“The service is wonderful; they will take care of you and your guest(s). It is sure to be a cozy evening of fine dining.“

“Absolutely amazing sliders and very friendly staff. love having the assortment. made for 3 happy kids too. would definitely drive the 6hrs just for green dot stables !!!“

“If you are contemplating where to dine…go here…you won’t be disappointed. Gabi and Gabriel are such gracious and hospitable owners of this diamond in the rough in hazel park. Service is 10/10. Their food…100/10. Their drinks are plentiful and their food is all authentic and homemade. Their Langos with garlic sauce is AMAZING…Honestly my wife and I have tried almost all of their staples (they also have rotating chef specials) and we have not found one thing that we don’t like. Their “from the woods” polenta is fantastic for vegetarians. There is something for everyone and once you go…you will keep going back for more.“

“Always loved the "Grill" for breakfast now it's open till 8:) All the food is excellent especially the Greek Fries (french fries red onion feta & house made creamy Greek dressing) The staff is delightful and the customers diverse. Everyone is welcome. Our favorite family restaurant!“

“Lamb and Osso Bucco were so good, homemade rolls were amazing pillows of goodness and ordered the bread pudding to go but smells amazing“

“Great friendly place with great comfort foods.“

“My experience was fantastic!! Being the first time here. We went for a late lunch early dinner... The bartender was our waitress. I've been to other places where we have been served by the bartender that only cared about the regulars. She was awesome and very attentive. My dirty martini was on point! The burgers are huge and delicious. Brussel sprout app was delicious! Great onion rings. We will definitely be back!“

“All the food looks Fantastic 👌 😍 😋“

“I cannot say enough about this amazing place. The food was amazing cooked with perfection and flavors that were amazing. we happened on the restaurant on a whim and even though it is an hour+ drive we will be returning at least every couple months.“

“The service, the food, the prices, the variety, the cleanliness, and the attention is ALL GREAT !!!“

“Barrel House has become our go-to place to hang out and eat. Their food is delicious, the drinks are great, and the staff are all amazing!“

“First time excellent food and portions I was more impressed with Bianca our in training waitress such a lovely person I had shrimp and grits my coworker had a all meat omelette. It was very refreshing to see an omelette with bite-sized pieces of meat as opposed to the normal Coney Island omelettes bottom line we are going back“

“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.“

“Stopped here before a concert at LCA last night - obviously busy, but wait wasn’t bad at all and we were able to get a drink at the bar and wait outside. I wish I could remember our servers name, but she was absolutely stellar! She was super friendly, funny and quick despite having a large section on a busy night. Got the shrimp tacos (AMAZING and filling - has a perfect amount of “kick”) and my husband got the hot chicken sandwich (the one small bite I was allowed was phenomenal) overall 10/10 experience!“

“I had not been to a Beefcarver since I was a kid to the location on 8 mile. Stopped in today to the Woodward location. Food was good, the atmosphere is very nostalgic (I loved it), and the staff was amazing. The gentleman waiting on us was very friendly and very on top of things! We will be back.“

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

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“Nice decor (loved the women's bathroom), great ambience, very friendly servers and the food was tremendous! We had the carrot and avocado salad and the seabass. Both were exceptional. I would definitely stop here again if we are ever in the area again.“

“My husband and I love this place , been here twice and great food, servers , atmosphere. Just a wonderful place .“

“So, I tried 22 coneys this day and they were in one of the better ones. The business itself was very busy, but the staff was quick and efficient and extremely patient about the questions that I had about their food.

It was awesome to see how well The employees handled the fast-paced environment“

“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!“

“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.“

“It's always good. My only critique is that they only have splenda as a sugar substitute. Equal is my preferred.“

“We were instantly greeted and seated. Our server Robby was awesome. The entire staff was friendly. Chef Johnny is very talented and friendly. I love that he greets all guest and will even bring your food out himself. For starters we had the shrimp and crab cakes. They were crispy on the outside and melted in your mouth. The surprise with these was that there was whole shrimp inside. We loved it. The sauce on top was just the right amount. The salmon with saffron rice, coconut curry sauce and green apple slaw was the best salmon I've had in a while. The pairing was new for me but it worked. The salmon was juicy and perfectly cooked. When paired with everything on my plate it was like fireworks. Everything popped and was amazing. My husband had the beef strudel. Now he was thinking it was gonna be like a beef wellington but no. When he put his fork into the perfectly crispy flaky crust and into the most tender beef either of us have ever had, OMG. With the first bite all he could do was say "WOW"(sorry about how loud he was). The flavors of that plate were incredible. The blueberry cheesecake was the icing on the cake. It was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet and the smear of lemon sauce on the side elevated the flavors. The drinks. I had the rainforest and my husband had the Johnny Manhattan. When we saw how small the glasses were we were definitely worried. That feeling quickly faded with the first sip. The drinks may be small but they are strong and delicious. We had to pace ourselves with those. Overall, I give this place a 10/10 and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you to everyone there for a great time and for great service.“

“Great place, good food, friendly staff.“

“Burger was good, probably top 5-10ish in Metro Det imo. Drink was fine. Sourdough and fries were both super overcooked. When I made the reservation it said you could only hold the table for 90 mins for parties of 2. We were asked to leave the moment it hit an hour and 15 minutes.“

“Probably the only place where can get breakfast for 2 people for less than $30. This is a casual, no frills spot to grab a quick meal. The food its self was just okay, a little oily, but the portions are good and the food came out really quickly.“

“Food is so fresh you can taste it by the first bite the Cornedbeef sandwiches are so delicious havnt had such a good Cornedbeef sandwich in a whilee!!!! just stopped by first time ever being there seeing it on tik tok we grabbed there burgers and chicken tenders really really outstanding my rate breaks the scale !!!! Will be back again ✅“

“Wonderful place to eat! Highly recommended 🩵“
