“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.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“What a wonderful place! The menu generally consists of Wagu burgers (flawless) stellar sandwiches, pizzas (perfect), dinner and side salads (big) soup, appetizers, and a couple of entrees. All of it is incredibly good. Be sure to try the Tempura Asparagus. It’s a favorite.

Service is provided by one or two people jetting around taking care of people, and they are always cheerful, accommodating, and mindful. The atmosphere is strictly “Cheers”. Lot of folks know each other, and we often see people we e seen before. No need to dress up or dress down, either. Come as you are.

We will keep coming back!“

“This place is fantastic! My husband and I love going there when we have the chance. The food is great and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommend!“

“Had an early dinner reservation with a friend who had never been to 220 Merrill before. It was a quieter time, right before the dinner rush, and we were able to catch up without any large parties or excessive noise. We both ordered the salmon, which was some of the best fish I've ever had. Perfectly cooked to medium, crispy on the outside, and it came with a sauce that perfectly complimented the potatoes and broccolini. Our server was Shannon, and he made sure we had everything we needed and also gave us the space to enjoy our dining experience. Every time we took a sip of water, there was another server going around, making sure our glasses were always full. I'm glad I could show my friend a new place, and we both agreed that we would be coming back so she could experience what it's like at night.“

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

“Another hidden gem, in the heart of Hazel Park! Trully amazing experience! Food, drinks, service and atmosphere are top notch! Special compliments to Gabi&Gabi for being wonderful hosts!“

“I can't recommend the Sunrise Cafe enough. Stopped in on a whim for breakfast while on a family adventure and everyone left happy and full. The menu is extensive and everything was freshly made and very yummy. But what really put it over the top was the service! From the greeting at the door, to the prompt attention, and one of the best servers ever! 10 out of 10! We will be back!“

“WE LOVE the homemade freshness of your salads! Dr. Trupp especially likes his veggies! Thanks for making everything fresh with healthy options!“

“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 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.“

“Best restaurant around with the great food! Breakfast is my favorite there!“

“Excellent food as always and the service is A-1“

“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.“

“Hey What up Detroit, my neighborhood Nicki D’s is straight the best hands down. No dirty or nasty looking employees or facility.

I know yall still love Coney’s we’ll go to Nicki D’s on Grandriver across the street from that beautiful new Credit Union. Holla!“

“This was our first time dining at beppe and will not be our last. Everything, from the service to the drinks to the ambiance, was exceptional! The sourdough is unreal, all pastas are homemade & the sauces were top notch. Overwhelmingly happy with the decision to come here & will absolutely be back!“

“Cozy restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and truly fantastic staff! The food is excellent and carefully prepared. I’m very happy with the experience — I’m from Italy, and I can say everything was absolutely approved! Highly recommended!😊😊“

“I moved here in March and I’m still working on finding my new local go to spots. It’s my first time here and this is going to be my #1 go to diner/Coney Island.
It’s a family run business and it’s obvious that they work hard to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The waitresses are genuinely kind and you can tell they care about their customer.

The food was really good! It came out quick, the portions were generous, and if you like hash browns you won’t be sorry!! I’m a big coffee gal and my coffee was never empty, always hot, and as a VERY rare treat, the coffee is actually really good.

Lastly, the restaurant is clean and well maintained. It is obvious they take pride in what they do and are dedicated to making a great experience.

Support your local businesses and try this Coney Island! You won’t be disappointed!

Edit: my waitress’s name was Cathy. She offered to give me a coffee to go and I didn’t even ask 🥹“

“Decided today that as much as we enjoy lunches and dinners at Bill's, I have finally become overwhelmed by the Excessive Noise level, that one must put up with while trying to enjoy the food and conversation with Friends. After complaining, on numerous occasions, We have decided to remove Bill's from among our favorites list.“

“We had a wonderful dinner experience. The waiter was a delight right from the beginning. We were 5 women who wanted separate bills and he happily accommodated us. The food was excellent, as always. We love that you have your own parking lot!“

“Noni’s HAD become the go to spot for me because I work in the area. After today, I will find another dining spot. It is not that I am so thin skinned, in today’s economy, service providers must “earn” my loyalty and patronage. Normally I carry out but today I chose to fine in. You seat yourself do I was promptly seated. The waitress took a moment to come to the table and the restaurant was only partially occupied. It took forever for her to retrieve our drinks and return to the table with them. We waited a moment to order and the food , a very simple order, fries and wings took row seemed like forever. After that, we did not hear from her again until she brought the check. Mind you, she refilled the drinks for a table right next to ours 3 times. Ok, so I asked for a refill of our drinks to go. Two of them, children’s drinks were already in styrofoam cups. She returned with a large styrofoam cup and stated she couldn’t refill the kids cups to go, because there was a limit. Because of the disappointed look on their faces, I reminded her that this would be the first refill. What upset me was that she wanted to argue with me. I politely said whatever lady. She wanted to keep it going so I obliged her and reminded her that in a service industry it behooves her to not argue with customers and just stop talking so much! She then attempted to embarrass me by yelling out in the dining room, y’all this lady mad cause I won’t give her lemonade to go. I was going to, but not now.” I responded with “I was going to tip you, but not now.” Before you go there, I do know , understand, and practice two wrongs don’t make a right. Then there are times you stand on principle. All that to say, I won’t be returning!“

“Highly recommend! Food and Service are GREAT!!“

“Been going there for several years. I like the service. No fooling around no loud talking, laughing out loud, just taking care of business.It’s quiet, professional service, everybody working, and most of the time they got my eggs just like I like them. can’t say anything negative about omega, and I always run into Brenda sitting right on the end at the counter. They know who Brenda is, but you guys might not. I’ll give omega 10 stars.“

“Great food friendly staff!!“

“Stackerz in Southfield 🔥🔥🔥🔥 love this place so much!! They know my son & I name as well as our order. Always so kind, sweet and attentive. Best breakfast on the west side for real!! Rhonda & Vicky are the literal best ever!!!“

“First time visiting and we were very pleased! Our server, Nicole was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable, efficient, kind, and funny. My boyfriend had the pork chop dinner with salad and french fries and I had the spinach bacon chicken with chicken and dumpling soup and french fries. All the food had great flavor and good size portions. Excellent value.“

“CK Diggs is an absolute gem near downtown Rochester! The food was amazing — everything we ordered was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We tried the boneless wings, nachos, quesadillas, Reuben sandwich, Southwest pasta, Cajun steak strips, pretzel bites, and Beijing beef — and every single dish was delicious.

The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and fast. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual night out or a relaxed dinner with friends.

The Cookie Monster and carrot was was beyond delicious.

If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere close to downtown, CK Diggs is definitely worth checking out!“

“Great little local Coney Island that offered up incredibly friendly and welcoming service along with Hardy portions, great flavor and a feeling of being at home.

This was probably one of the most down-home and enjoyable breakfast experiences I had with my family in a very long time. Thank you Lons on 6 Mile,
Especially our server. That young lady made us feel more welcome and at home than I had felted a long time at any restaurant.“

“This is a hidden gem, great choice of food, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The ladies serving at the bar are amazing, I always leave looking forward to my next visit.“

“Everything is fresh!! Family owned!!“
