50 Best American Restaurants near Highland

“Best breadsticks on the planet! Great place to take the family out for dinner.“

“Amazing food! Everything is fresh and homemade. I love the reuben sandwich and came back St Paddy's for the corned beef and cabbage meal. The pizza is also some of the best I've ever had in Michigan. Shout out to Shanna (*Flower) for being an amazing waitress.“

“Been going here for along time! Definitely recommend!“

“The fried chicken is so crispy and tasty! The best I ever had!“

“Amazing waitress today! Going above and beyond. Nadia great job!!!!“

“Taylor was AMAZING!!! she was always checking in on us, and making sure we had everything we wanted.“

“One of the best ever“

“Numerous times now when I was at front of drive thru line, the car behind me has pulled up so close behind me that when they receive their order before mine they resort to blowing their horn at me or waving their arms wildly in all directions. Do these jackasses realize if they left ample space they could just pull out and drive away? Somehow it falls upon my shoulders that they lack the intelligence to think ahead? Anyhow, it really spoils the whole dining experience. I would like to suggest that you put a sign out front for cars to maintain 3-4’ in front of their car so they can maneuver, I don’t think people will be getting any smarter in the near future.“

“Lena’s is a hidden gem. Extensive menu with options for everyone. Whether you’re in a mood for a salad, an omelette or a good old-fashioned hot sandwich, Lena’s is the best.“

“food was great, service was wonderful *****“

“Great food. Friendly atmosphere.“

“I had a great experience at Anna's House in Milford today with 2 of my friends. The atmosphere was bright and comfortable, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic! Madeleine was our server and she was friendly, fun and attentive. We will definitely return and recommend Anna's House!“

“So let me start of saying I do not leave reviews barely ever, but this restaurant right here is just amazing. Especially the server Lisa. You will be super lucky if you get her to serve you. She is on top of stuff. She was quick loving always has a smile on her face. This is my second time here and this is now my favorite restaurant. She even went as far as asking if I wanted her to butter my French toast for me and when I was done she even put everything in to go containers. I also was a pain and wanted to eat outside where there is two tables but not frequently used so there is nothing on the tables like jelly sugar menus etc. She goes out of her way to set it up for me with a smile on her face. The food is excellent I got French toast and county skillet and man the food is amazing for a decent price. You get better food and a lot more food for the price of a McDonald's meal. Seriously you have to try this out. Ask for Lisa I assure you, you will not regret it. Tell her tija said hi“

“Great food! Come here often. Staff is very friendly and make you feel welcome. The gentlemen in the kitchen know what they're doing, some experience going on there! Their Reuben is fantastic, and their breakfasts too! Very generous portions.“

“Great place I have lot birthday holiday party memories there. Great staff and great food.“

“A classic American diner serving all of metro Detroits local favorites. Hefty portions, affordable meals, topped off with a service staff that is not only kind, caring, but genuine human beings. There won’t be anything on the menu that’s not delicious. I eat here 2-3 times a week and have never left unhappy.“

“Wow,we got a carry out of Baker's, grilled chicken cesar salad and it was AWESOME!!,we loved the grilled chicken, it was flavoured well ,moist and tender,, great service and such friendly staff!!!“

“Consistently yummie food. Just ordered Door Dash delivery and voila! Leas than 25 mins to my front door! Excellent quality food, always. All the workers are always friendly too!“

“We ate at Westside Family Dining yesterday and it was amazing! I had the chicken gyro and it was so good, and my dad got the fish and chips and loved it. Our waitress was super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend!“

“Try any of the Butter Burgers“

“Our 1st time today. We were super impressed with the selection and the friendly staff. Above and beyond experience! This will be our Saturday stop moving forward.“

“maybe it's my fault for not paying attention. Just walked in from the howell location. so, was there at like 610pm. I ordered a full bag, and ranch. she gave me a half bag, and no ranch. I come here all the time, and I've never had this happen before. I'm a cook. I work as a cook professionally. I understand having a long day, or just a bad one. but come on. 10 dollars for half a bag of bread sticks and no ranch?“

“Our servers name is Maddie. She did a great job providing awesome service. More impressive, seemed like this restaurant was shortstaffed tonight even so Maddie did a great job. Food came out quickly and was excellent. Staff did a great job.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had such a great lunch today at Casey's of Walled Lake! My mom, best friend, her daughter, my daughter, my nephew, and I all went around 1 PM on a Sunday, and surprisingly we had the place almost completely to ourselves. The atmosphere was honestly such a vibe — they have both indoor and outdoor seating, a cozy fire pit outside, and even a waterfall/koi pond feature in the corner that made it feel really relaxing and unique.

I ordered the breakfast burger with an egg cooked medium rare, and it came out PERFECTLY cooked. The table absolutely loved the fresh-cut chips, and the mozzarella moons tasted homemade and were delicious. We also got the pretzels, and my mom loved the sliders — especially the homemade pickles that came with them.

My best friend ordered the BBQ cheddar burger and said the barbecue sauce had the perfect tangy flavor. Huge bonus points for having Yuengling on draft, plus they had several signature cocktails that sounded amazing. I spotted a margarita with blueberry purée that I definitely want to come back and try. Sunday's kids eat free And they have keno.

As a Google Local Guide Level 7 with over 5 million views across reviews from Florida to Tennessee to Michigan, I can honestly say this place deserves more attention. Great food, great atmosphere, and a really enjoyable experience overall. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Best food and drinks in Milford, by far. Consistent food and service. The specials are always worthy. Prompt service.The owner and manager always chat with you and assure everything is great. Tables outside and in back for those killer Michigan days. Dog friendly. Great breakfast on weekends. Glad we have this gem in Milford“

“From the UP… First time here! Great service and great food, A+++++ Ali, Jadyn and the rest of the staff were fast and took care of us! Definitely will make Driftwood Bar and Grill the place to go when traveling!“

“Maybe the best spot for a beer in downtown Milford. Not to mention Thursday night karaoke“

“To be honest, I've only tried a dessert from their launch counter. It was delicious but it really wasn't a test of their food period however, they rank so highly in cleanliness and great service and overall comfort that I'm sure their food excellent but I like my reviews to be honest and I really haven't tried anything significant there. That being said I can assure you I will!“

“We absolutely adore our visits to this charming spot! 🥂 It's become our go-to for celebrating special moments and enjoying a relaxed evening out. The ambiance is always so inviting, making every meal feel like a mini-getaway, almost like being in Paris. We particularly appreciate the thoughtfully curated menu and the consistently excellent service. Each dish we've tried has been a delightful culinary experience. We're already looking forward to our next reservation!“

“It was absolutely the best meal and service I’ve had in a long. Thanks to our server Angela. Very friendly and personable which now a days is rear. So thank you. And again the food was phenomenal. Will be back very soon.“

“excellent food“

“We go to this Leo’s All The Time . . GREAT Food, GREAT Service, GREAT Owners ‼️ Dave & Dawn“

“A great menu very kind and courteous waitresses.“

“The bartender was great. We couldn’t understand why most tables were empty and we had a 45 minutes to 1 hour wait. The bartender told us we could sit at a table and she would serve us. We were the only table for 30 minutes inside and at least 3-4 tables were empty outside with 5 servers. I remember pre-COVID the place was always packed, inside and out. I could understand the wait then.“

“Village Pizza catered and delivered food for my son's birthday and they did a fantastic job. The food was delicious, arrived on time, and the order was perfect. I also have to be gluten free, and I loved that there were GF options for me!“

“Stopped in here over the weekend on a whim and was so glad I did! It is small but cozy and comfortable with warm decor. You could actually talk without shouting (like most sterile modern places). Great menu selection with so many of my favorite dishes available, I had a hard time choosing. The food was superb; honestly better than I expected. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, with great portion sizes. Too many places serve frozen, nuked, soggy, bland meals these days, you won't get that here! The service was fast and friendly. Will definitely go back!“

“Stopped in during a busy dinner rush and were a little worried about the wait, but everything was impressively quick! We grabbed seats at the bar where the bartender (wish we caught her name!) was super friendly and efficient. Two drinks and a pizza came out unbelievably fast — the whole experience took just about 30 minutes start to finish. Truly a job well done. It’s rare these days to find such great service and food that’s both fast and delicious. Thanks for a refreshing night out!“

“We had a wonderful experience! Live music, the Tiger game on the big screens, delicious drinks and amazing food! The Texas Queso and Chicken Dip were both fantastic!! Our server Courtney was friendly and very attentive! We will definitely be back!!“

“They have awesome service and the food great, they have entertainment every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights“

“So great that this restaurant works with local individuals. We had a large group and they let us make a reservation on a Sunday afternoon and had it all set up and ready for us. The service was fast and the food was great. Will definitely be back.“

“Took the whole extended family and had a great meal with friendly service“

“Both Alex and Kennedy are the bomb! Great customer service which have made me a regular!“

“The food is most delicious but the service is truly EXCELLENT!! I met a long time friend here I hadn't seen in over 20 years. My brother suggested this place and I'm glad he did. The food was prompt and the service professional and kind. I cannot remember the young lady's name that served us but I fell in love with her. Now I'm back and once again the atmosphere is warm, the food is delicious and the service impeccable.“

“I met a bunch of colleagues here for dinner on a Wednesday evening. The food was average and the staff were very nice. The temp in July was around 95F outside but unfortunately it felt like 85F inside the restaurant. Their AC was on but the restaurant was not cooling off which made it a bit uncomfortable.

I would have ordered a salad but the Cyclosporiasis outbreak was taking place in Michigan in 2026 so I just ordered Chicken Quesadillas.“

“I would recommend going to the village grill. I went there to eat and I was greeted by a wonderful host, she had a very positive attitude and was very kind towards me. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“My first time eating at Texas Roadhouse in Brighton was a great experience Bailey my waitress did a great job of Service she was very helpful guiding me to ordering my food.She was on top of things as getting my food.Very pleasant joyful attitude.I will be dining here again. Theresa McCain“

“Years ago I stopped at Culver’s in Rockwall, Texas. Fell in love with the place. My wife and I are traveling this weekend and decided to stop for supper. As a former Dairyman I really appreciate places like Culver’s. The farm fresh idea is wonderful! At the Culver’s in Brighton, the staff were wonderful. Our food was the best!“

“We just happened across this gem... after a bike ride we thought it would be perfect. A good variety and it all looked and sounded delicious. I got a grilled chicken sandwich, seasoned to perfection 👌 the chicken wrap was good, not Spicey but juicy and we shared a platter of fries. Both our sandwiches were too much to eat so we took them home for dinner. Too tired to take photos... enjoy!!“

“I had my baby shower in the Huron Room of Rivers Edge & it was absolutely fantastic! The space turned out so beautiful, food was delicious, and our bartender was fabulous. They have amazing hospitality at baseline with yummy beer, cider, & food!“

“I have had fantastic service and experience at this place even though I don't drink. Staff is always friendly and attentive regardless of how busy it is. I appreciate the atmosphere, and would recommend to anyone in the area who would like a good burger, or drink.“
