“Their buttered potatoes are SOOOO delicious! The chicken tenders are different. They don't batter them so it's just crispy skin on the outside, which 4/5 times has been too leathery for me to chew. But the last time I had them they were amazing!“

“Love the food. the fact they do so much for the military makes it even better. we just had them cater our wedding on Saturday. only a few things weren't done exactly right but they were not big enough of an issue to really matter. our guests loved the food. we will use them again for catering.“

“Delicious foods! Amazing team and customer service! Definitely would recommend!“

“We are incredibly grateful for Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que and their continued generosity in supporting our annual silent auction at Newburg United Methodist Church. Each year, their donation helps raise funds for our Youth Group's (Newburg Student Ministry) mission trip with Appalachia Service Project, where we work to make homes in flood-affected areas safer, warmer, and drier. Their support doesn't just help us financially—it shows our young people that local businesses truly care about the good work they are doing in the world. Famous Dave’s generosity and community spirit make a real difference, and we're proud to have them as part of our extended mission family. Thank you, Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que, for being such a faithful partner in service and for supporting the next generation of compassionate leaders!“

“Went to Longhorns for my 50th birthday dinner last night. I had a very large party (27). We basically took over the restaurant. Bulk of people were seated together. We were just in the way, well me mostly. All of the staff were great. But I need to thank the waite staff for their amazing service that they provided. Secondly, I would like to give great appreciation to the hostesses(awesome) who sometimes catch it from the hangry's! Last the manager was amazing. You know Longhorns get busy on the weekend and inspite of that he did his best to accommodate us. So Westland Longhorns from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for an amazing experience. I'm not even going to address the food you know it was phenomenal!“

“A Perfect Pizza Experience at Papa's Pizza!

I recently visited Papa's Pizza on October 8, 2025, and had an absolutely delightful dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the stage for what turned out to be one of the best pizza outings I've ever had.

I ordered a large deep dish pizza, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The crust was perfectly crisp on the outside and delightfully soft on the inside, providing a wonderful texture that complemented the rich, flavorful toppings. The cheese was gooey and plentiful, melding beautifully with the tangy, well-seasoned tomato sauce.

The service at Papa's Pizza deserves a special mention—rated at a solid 10/10! The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was comfortable and enjoyable. They were prompt with service without making us feel rushed.

Overall, I would give Papa's Pizza a stellar 10/10 rating. The combination of mouth-watering food, impeccable service, and a cozy ambiance makes it a must-visit for any pizza lover. I can't wait to return for another slice of heaven!“

“Cool atmosphere! Nice staff and cold drinks!“

“Ordered dinner for our 3rd time for delivery, the very nice young gentleman whom delivered it accidentally forgot a major item for the kids. He handed the situation so well, abruptly and offered a light compensation for the troubles. Food was hot and fresh and I will continue ordering.“

“I had the best experience with Mark and Anthony. I place big orders with them for events at my job and Mark always tells me exactly what to order and what everyone will want to eat and drink. Definitely go here for event ordering. You won't have to stress about what to get and the prices are very reasonable. I love this location. They are great!“

“Their customer service was awesome! From the start they sat us, there were nothing but Pleasantries r waitress was Awesome (Liv) & the manager(I hate I don’t remember her name) she rocked too, she took my moms cake put it in the cooler, they made us really feel real comfortable! They did their bday song for my mom it was great!! I would refer u to go to the Westland restaurant they ROCK!!!“

“Always yummy and delicious“

“Hadn't been in a long time but the sushi was great. The service was also really good. The only complaint I have is the guy behind the sushi counter was staring a hole into my forehead several times throughout my lunch date. It was as if he didn't want us there.“

“Papa’s Pizza is more than just a pizza place — they have a great selection of food for everyone. Of course, the pizza is tasty, but they also offer chicken, ribs, shrimp, lasagna, and much more.

The menu is big, so it’s easy to find something you’ll like.“

“Fast, fresh , professional“

“Big Shout Out and Thank you!!!! to Mike. I have to order lunch weekly for our office and Mike has Never let me/us down. The food is Amazing, Fresh, and Delicious, there's rarely any leftovers. Mike always works within my budget. I appreciate you Mike. Kudos to the cook :-)“

“My favorite pizza place. I live in ypsi, 15 minutes away. The ride is so convenient and the food is always ready right when we get there. The staff is so friendly and knows us and our usual; the BBQ chicken pizza that none other can compare tin my opinion. it’s all ways crispy, well coated, and taste amazing. The BBQ from this place is to die for I could eat is on anything. I miss the popcorn chicken tho those were so crispy and the little spice was amazing.

Vegetarian options: Cauliflower crust, veggie pizza, salads, subs.

Dietary restrictions: I personally am a pollotarian and only eat poultry. My family however loves bbq ribs, so we’re all happy.

Parking: Parking spots right in front of the door and across a 6 store plaza parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: The staff loves kids and I’ve seen one give a little kid some quarters for the vending machine.“

“I always order my pizza with everything on it and they never fail me the delivery is great my food is hot when I receive it and the pizza SOOOOO good never been there just always ordered so I can't speak on the atmosphere happy customer bout to order again right now thank you for your fresh and tasty food“
