50 Best American Restaurants in Livonia

“First time going to this restaurant! The food, service, and atmosphere were all great! Our waiter anticipated our needs and took care of things really before we asked. It was a very busy night, but we had reservations. Waited no longer than 5 minutes! The food was very tasty! Loved it! I highly recommend!“

“TJ was the man. He hooked us up with Drinks and recommended great dishes on the menu for me and my 2 coworkers. We will definitely be stopping back here for drinks and dinner the next time we are in town working again.“

“Impressive - Exceptional service, fabulous food, prepared to perfection in a delightful atmosphere. Hats off to the teachers and chefs!“

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

“Awesome pick for lunch!! Our server Carly was sweet and very helpful! When she found out we were from out of town and first time coming in she explained the menu choices we picked. Great on refilling drinks without waiting or asking!! Always a plus for us. Hope we are back in Livonia soon because we will definitely be back!!!“

“Madonna was really sweet and accommodating to all our needs!! Will be back because of her! Food was hot too!!“

“an absolutely fantastic group of employees. I love them“

“What a beautiful view while eating dinner!! Really great delicious food. Smart, kind, and caring servers. We went to just enjoy dinner and look out over the lake. Usually is billed as watching women in bikinis-type bars. It's just normal beachwear. The whole half of the bar-facing lake was pretty well empty. We loved the food and drinks. Right now there are so many ducks and geese to watch in the lake it's fun.“

“The service and food was awesome. the food came to the table hot and delicious. been there twice so far. once with a class reunion and the next time just us. I will go back in a heartbeat. thank you Archie“

“We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Iffy at Senate Coney Island in Livonia, and I can’t say enough great things about her! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm, genuine smile and a friendly attitude that instantly made us feel at home. Iffy is the kind of server every restaurant dreams of—attentive without hovering, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and quick with every request. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and her upbeat energy made our whole dining experience feel special. On top of all that, she carried herself with such professionalism and grace, all while juggling a busy dining room. It’s rare to come across someone who clearly takes pride in their work the way Iffy does. Senate Coney Island is lucky to have her, and I’ll definitely be back—partly for the food, but mostly for the top-notch service from Iffy. Highly recommend asking for her if you stop by!“

“Leon's is a great place to eat at. The food is good and the prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and fast.“

“Great food like mom used to make. Veg soup. So good. Fast, take care of customers. The waitress all smiles. Quiet no noise. The quiet just people enjoying their meals. No kids! Business people, couples, older people. Their prices are $10/15 per meal. I'm going again soon, great foods. Very quiet family restaurant. Have a lot of foods. All very good. Ample parking. Relaxed atmosphere come as you are, no fancy dress required.“

“I was delightfully surprised when I came here to eat for the first time. Very clean inside and the waitress was very friendly and always kept my coffee full. The omelette I ordered was amazing as well! I definitely recommend this place to eat!“

“The food at this place is great. I've been here many times and everything has been good. What separates this place is the service! 100% of the reason I stay here is the service from Jill and Cheri at the Ganders restaurant! I come back here nearly every week because of their customer-focused, friendly, fun personalities! Everyone needs more great employees like these two!“

“Hands down, this was the best loose burger with cheese I’ve had in years! The service was friendly and thoughtful, and the food came out in a timely manner. My family ordered a cheeseburger and wing dings, and they also agreed everything was absolutely delicious. We left feeling satisfied and pleased with what we paid for.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite and a brew and stayed for a while. It was a great experience, and my server Haley made it even better. She is so good at what she does and has a great personality to boot! The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, and the beer was ice-cold. I had a great time and will definitely be back! :-)“

“Great food and great service!“

“My household has had covid for 3 weeks. Yesterday I was finally able to go out and run a couple errands, and Culver's sounded so good. I ordered my usual burger, and was in a hurry to get back home before it got cold, so it's my fault for not checking it, but when I got home I found out they gave me someone else's burger. I wasn't going to go back out in the snow, so I just didn't have lunch. So disappointed!!“

“Great food and staff! Fun sports bar!“

“Are you waitresses are underpaid pay Heather and Mary give them both ways and give out the waitresses raises. They’re all good except for the man waiter. Do not give him a raise because he’s not as good but give all the waitresses a raise. They deserve a pay raise. They are released $25 an hour or more. and that is Kirby’s Coney Island and 6 mile Newburgh. They’re the best Coney Island ever I ever been into so please give these waitresses good comments. They are really good and they make sure they customers are happy.“

“We are very grateful to Leo’s Coney Island(our go to for coney) who has donated gift cards for the last 2 years to benefit the Livonia Stevenson cheer team. It will go towards a raffle basket for a golfing fundraiser at Hilltop golf course in Plymouth on September 13th. Thanks to our neighbor, Hadley who works there and is a former Spartan for arranging this!

“Love the teriyaki chicken sandwich“

“The best food around town, the best grilled cheese. The best Coney islands and definitely the best hamburgers. The girls there are so friendly. And it's like being at home. When you go in there keep up the great work“

“Supernatural is pretty amazing! The staff are really cool, friendly, and did I say cool?! Seriously, I have been going to Supernatural for a little over 8 months (I never knew it existed before then) but I am glad I made that first visit!! The food is great, the beer is amazing!! Shadow Realm is one of my favorites (Oatmeal Stout) and being British by birth, trust me when I say I'm a bit picky when it comes to beer. These guys have it nailed. BTW... Li'l Nicky... You rock! I just tried the Ginger Jalapeno brew that you made me for my birthday and that stuff should be on tap... hopefully it will someday soon! Keep doing what you do guys!! You can bet I'll be back again... and again... and again!!“

“I like many of you, like using the review score when making purchase decisions. I never just look at the score. I look for the number of reviews and I try to find helpful reviews to give me more incite into what I may be getting into. My wife works in a business where the reviews really matter for bringing in new customers. She often talks about the long-time customers who keep returning but have never left a review. Those are really the voices that should matter more to people who want an honest review of the company they are looking into. Unfortunately, even though I like looking at reviews, I seldom leave one unless I'm very satisfied with the company or really disappointed. In both cases, I leave my emotions aside and tell things as I experience them. This means that if everything wasn't perfect, I don't ding them for minor stuff. I give people the benefit of the doubt because we all have those days when we aren't at our best. When I read bad reviews about restaurants that I frequent often, I wonder about the person leaving the review. I feel that they are either competitors with malicious intent, someone who didn't try to listen to resolve whatever issues they perceived to be happening, or simply someone who's looking for a reason and is too hard to please in the first place. So with all that out of the way, let me get to the Lim's Star review. I love Chinese food and it's one of the first things I looked for locally when I bought my house 10 years ago. There are several in what I would consider my drivable area. Lim's Star is in my top 5 or higher depending on what dish I'm looking for. 10 years means I've been coming there since before the current owner. Do I miss the dinner rolls? Not really, since I get better quality food and personalization of meals on request. The new owner knows us on sight and remembers what we like to order. He even allows us to modify the ingredients to our liking. He is very friendly and will engage in small talk to get to know his customers better. We eat at or buy takeout from Lim's Star at least once a month, sometimes more. Has everything always been perfect? No, but I really can't recall the last time I was dissatisfied with my order or service. Based on my long review, I'm hoping you can tell I have had many enjoyable meals from and experiences with Lim's Star. Seriously! If you are on the fence or willing to try something new in your area, start with a dish you know to compare. I doubt you will be disappointed in your comparison. Mark J.“

“I love this family owned restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious, a lot for the value, and the soup bar is a special touch. The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is clean. I can't wait to try their weekend brunch“

“I’ve driven by Stables Bar and Grill, and I decided to stop in one day. Everyone is super friendly, great atmosphere, cold beer, and great food. I had a couple of draft beers 🍺 I ordered a cheeseburger 🍔 and both were great! I will definitely be back!“

“Great place! Great patrons! Great beers! Great spirits! Great food! Great waitress! Great cooks! Great music! What else do you need to know.“

“Great food & it was hot 👍🏽“

“Enjoyed the Mother's Day Brunch last year and hoping you will have this again this year 2025? Have been trying to call the phone number and recording always states not taking calls!“

“I have wonderful memories of the Maurice Salad at Hudson's and yours was one of the best I have ever had! I also loved the warm pita bread that came with it. Delicious! I brought two of my lady friends with me and they also had the Maurice and felt the same way I did. We will spread the news and also be back! The salad had a nice amount of meat and cheeses and of course pickles. The dressing was outstanding and there was enough to bring almost half of it home for my lunch the next day! Keep up the good work!“

“nice atmosphere, good food“

“Just came to say I enjoy the time I spend at the Wintergarden. The Wednesday wings are great and I get them almost EVERY Wednesday, the Sunday half off pizza is also a great deal and quite tasty. The service is usually good, but it depends on who is working. I am usually there during happy hour so my review is based on that. I have three bartenders I particulary like to see, Brei, who unfortunately for me, has branched out to better herself and is not there so often anymore, Alison, who knows my wing order by heart, and Sam who kicks butt and takes great care of me.“

“got a Greek omelette was delicious definitely be back“

“can't go wrong with a chicken finger pita ever ❤ with ranch please 😁“

“My wife and I were there for our wedding anniversary! Absolutely Outstanding, Food, Service, Atmosphere! That's how you Celebrate! #NextLevel Service!“

“Have not eaten at Chicken Shack in several years. Acknowledged and welcomed immediately upon entering. Restaurant clean and comfortable. Server Lanisha pleasant and patient. Food made fresh, served hot with generous portions. Delicious spicy mayo chicken sandwich and tasty onion rings. Thank you…“

“If you're looking for an excellent place that serves breakfast, lunch, or dinner, then this is the place for you. Very clean restaurant, and excellent tasting food. My waitress Michelle did an excellent job serving our table. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, and will be coming back soon!“

“Excellent food, service and prices!“

“Your manager Shay wonderful she came out to see if everything was OK, really enjoyed the food and service. I will be a repeat customer.“

“This place gets an A++, the food was so good, no expensive at all. There was a line but it went fast and the hostesses kept us informed on how much time of wait we had. The food was so good, they have this strawberry lemonade that is the die for, sweet when it needs to be and a little tart at the end. Our waitress CK was super friendly and her service was AWESOME. She made the restaurant feel like family. I will most definitely be back.“

“Had the best time like kid yesterday was my birthday“

“Love me some B Dubs. Great place to hang out, watch some games :) Quality of wings has "faltered" a bit in recent years, but this seems to be an industry "thing". WingStop and Hooters wings have also lost some luster...“
