“I worked at 1 out in Muskegon. Heigit was fire for no reason. And I worked at the one and lancet Michigan and I was fired for no reason but what I will tell you. Was they eat a bunch of free food and won't give you free food as a employee, but after a while, they free loan off of it morning, you in a way and kept lying in a sand that was paying for it? And I know when you work at some place like that. You can't buy that kind of food 3 and 4 times a week. Salama little smarter than a surveillance to ever peep out. But they're not professional people coming to work smelling like dodo. N a miners“

“I've been going to the Avenue since before it was the Avenue. The owner was always so supportive of the local music scene and I admired that. The staff is always cute and sweet. I have never been disappointed in service there. The atmosphere is warm and inviting for everyone. At the Avenue I don't have to worry about me or my friends getting picked on because of our gender/sexual orientation or where we are from because the staff is very protective of their patrons and do not tolerate violence or bullying. I'm super grateful to have his gem in our town. I especially love that they have live music, all-ages shows every Sunday, AND that they serve a variety of non-alcoholic beverages for the nights where I can't or don't feel like drinking alcohol. Chilling outside is fun too!!“

“Saginaw St Restaurant in Lansing MI... Arrived patiently knowing they'd be busy on Veterans Day. Half hour wait - but no worries. Got sat within their stated timeframe. Our waitress was Maliah C who arrived with a smile and got our drink order quickly and also took our food order, knowing it might be a wait... but nope, food arrived quicker than expected! Just a great overall experience! Great job you guys!“

“Today I finished work at 6:30 PM and needed/wanted to get home quick. I remembered F L C & F is at the corner of Mt Hope and Cedar! I was going to get the Three Chicken Strips, Mac & Cheese and Cole Slaw (?) meal. This meal is awesome with the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce. It is amazing. I decided to get a Burger and Fries with Mac & Cheese instead. This meal was awesome! I'm not on Instagram, or I would give the review there also. Stan out for now.“

“Burgers are a good idea specials are good“

“I recently stumbled upon an Irish pub, The chicken tenders were so crispy and flavorful, I half-expected them to start riverdancing off my plate. The fish was so fresh, it probably swam here on its own. And the mac and cheese? It tasted like it was crafted by a leprechaun's grandmother herself.

The staff was as warm and welcoming as a cozy Irish hearth. They served everything with a smile and a side of charm that could melt even the frostiest of hearts. If you're looking for a pot of gold at the end of the culinary rainbow, this pub is it. Cheers! 🍀“

“This was my first visit ever to Bob Evans. The whole experience was excellent. The egg and meats omelet with cut potatoes, the turkey dinner, the tea, the rolls, the banana bread, the service, the prices, the clean atmosphere, everything was perfect. My husband bought a Bob Evans' cap for 10 bucks. We will definitely be stopping at Bob Evans every chance that we get.“
