Restaurants near Independence

“My wife and I used to go to the Sterling Heights Restaurant and loved it very much. Especially their pizza! We ran accross the Clarkston location about 3 years or so ago and have taken many family members and friends there. Unfortunately, they won't serve their larger family size pizza to inside diners. They only serve it to carry out clients. Several times, especially after we were given back our freedom, we were making plans to go to dinner with friends for pizza and I suggested going there. My wife reminded me they only serve personal pan pizza's. Unfortunately, they do not taste the same. So, we choose Pizza Mia in Grand Blanc when we wan't pizza. We do go to Boligna's when it isn't a pizza night. Unfortunate!”

“Best ribs I’ve had in a long time, great food decent service prices are in line with other good pub food places we will be back!”

“First time ordering pizza from there. Actually it was very good. We like to frequent Mom and Pop establishments only. Not the commercial pizza places (Jets, Happy's,Pizza Hut, Domino's, Hungry Howie's). We will definitely go again”

“Brooke our server, was the best! She was helpful and knowledgeable and very nice. Will be back”

“I would just like to say, whoever makes my ice brown sugar oat, shaken espresso. You deserve the biggest kiss. I’d rather Starbucks I go to does not make it properly and normally it is very watered down and disgusting. However, you guys exceeded my expectations. I’ve never been disappointed by this location! My order is prepared Quick, the workers always make sure to greet me every time I walk in or acknowledge me. Thank u for making my mornings!!”

“Jayden and the entire crew are phenomenal. Give them a raise! Always incredibly kind and they actually care if you’re happy. 10/10 recommend. Gold stars all around.”

“1st time...won't be the last🕺🎊👍”

“One of our all time favorite spots!!!!”

“Best ice cream around been going here since I was a little girl 10/10 recommend my favorite ice cream is cow pie”

“Best donuts ever!”

“Love this place. Always great food and service. To the lady that left her purse there for how long?Six weeks? Honchos should have charged you a storage fee. You can't blame others for your lack of responsibility. You are slandering their business for something YOU did. How would you feel if someone slandered your husband's ophthalmology business over something he didn't do?”

“Food is great, people working & cooking there are very friendly, and my food was prepared very quickly. 10/10”

“Fantastic staff and food! We love going to Victorias!”

“Best Rueben I've ever had hands down. Great atmosphere.”

“I have ordered from Scalzo's a number of times in the past two months. Always a good experience. Last weekend, I ordered an extra large pizza for an impromptu gathering ... the box was so big, I had to open my hatchback to fit it in the car and my guests raved about the quality and quantity of the topping.”

“I was delighted by the service and the food.”

“Casual breakfast and lunch. We had the sampler breakfast with a side of Hashbrowns which was delicious. I asked for grilled onions in the potatoes and it was perfect. Pancakes and sausage were very tasty. Recommend.”

“Good food me and my wife stop by on are way to my son! The root beer floats are so good! 👍”

“Just put this on Face Book, Brought Donuts from this bakery a few times Service is excellent Donuts are great my wife says best Cinnamon rolls she's ever tasted and we're from Hamtranck I love Apple Fritters and E clairs they taste great my only complaint is need more Apples and Custer will keep buying from there”

“always amazing food and a great staff!”

“Good food. Fun activity. Would go again.”

“Came after a drive from Chicago and totally hit the spot! The food is delicious, bowls are large and filling and the staff is warm and friends. Would eat here again.”

“So...6 days ago my family lost everything in a house fire with no renters insurance, litterally everything including my car burned down. After the fire claimed everything but our lives, looters/criminals stole everything that was left. It's just been a horrible week for my family but really thankful to be alive. Tonight (Sunday 8.10.25) we arrived 45 mins before closing time, which we normally don't do due to both being servers majority of our careers, we just dont come during closing time usually but we had a babysitter for an hour and we just wanted to eat out peacefully. Jeb/Jebidiah was absolutely amazing. He never once made us feel rushed and answered our many questions. (seriously, I'm picky when it comes to ranch and A1 and Jeb was on it, very politely) and I cannot thank him enough for his positive attitude, attentiveness, and overall great personality. I hope he is abundantly blessed and that their other servers are as amazing as he was. We will 100% be back. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the atmosphere was calm. Like really, Jeb, I hope all the good things happen to you and we will be back and request you as our server. Great job, O'Malleys ❤️”

“Great part of the community great people working there fantastic coffee couldn’t recommend it more”

“As soon as my husband and I walked in the door we were instantly greeted and welcomed in. Everyone there was very friendly and very helpful. They were out of one of the cookies that we had wanted to try but we were there later in the day so it makes sense. We always frequent this store because it is always a great experience.”

“Outdoor dining, fast waitress, and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in my grilled cheese. Not what I expected. Bread was so HARD. Definitely not worth over $17. Mac and cheese had a really great crust and my boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork though!”

“I’ve been coming to Early Bird Restaurant for 20 years, it maybe small but it really packs a punch with it Great Food selection and flavor. One of my favorites is the Meat Skillet with scrambled eggs (ITS AWESOME). I also have to mention that the staff has is AWESOME, most have been there for years and they are all great. This IS my number (1) Restaurant by far.”

“We just had dinner here before going across the street to a concert. The food was excellent! It came out quickly and our server, Kyra, was so friendly, supper attentive and very welcoming! We will be back!!”

“They always have great stuff and their custom cakes are awesome.”
