“The food here is great. This was our 1st time here. We were here all the way from Wisconsin for an event and i asked who got the best soul food in town and was told to stop by Cornbread. Amazing food, and service, and the place was clean. The Staff went above the call of duty. Ms. Donya if you see this, you are a JEWEL! This lady was right on time with everything. We visited the restaurant on Friday upon arrival to Michigan and was the first customers on Sunday 11:30AM as we were leaving from Michigan to return home. Go here, you will not be disappointed. The PRICE IS RIGHT.....and the Staff is BRIGHT!“

“I grew up on the Eastside and grew up eating authentic Iraqi food. So I go to the Eastside for this. I was so excited to see this restaurant in Canton. I picked up beef Shawarma (also known as Gus to me) with rice today. So delicious, exactly the taste I wanted. Family owned, very nice people. Spotless clean which is a bonus. Great prices and huge portions.
They definitely got a long time customer with me. I can't believe I didn't know this restaurant was here.“

“I have tried almost everything at Blue Kuna. Everything is delicious. My favorite is the ribs, smoked perfectly and tender, they do fall off the bone. The chicken and brisket are also outstanding. As far as sides…baked beans and Mac and cheese are delicious. The cornbread is the sweet kind, the jalapeño cornbread is spicy and sweet. The coleslaw is interesting, the lemon through me off. I would 100% recommend this place, you will not be disappointed. It’s very good BBQ. Please support small business owners and their establishments. After meeting Randall 2 times, I could tell that this restaurant is his passion and he really cares about his customers.“

“Stopped in today with several coworkers and took advantage of the $10 lunch special. Brisket sandwich and fries. Fries were pretty good but the brisket sandwich is what will bring me back. Very moist, well prepared and flavorful. The price is right as well. Wish I could have had a cocktail but there’s always next time. See ya soon.“

“The BBQ wings are so good! A bit dry but the seasoning definitely makes up for it. The sides are bomb too, great Mac and cheese, yams, and baked beans. The greens are flavorful but a tad bit on the salty side. The banana pudding is delicious too. Definitely going back!“

I'm not vegan I just don't eat pork or beef and love vegetarian food so I had to try this place. The macaroni and green beans were delicious!! Burger was seasoned very well.

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!“

“This is a great hardworking staff & happy to be a part of! Top leadership always taking feedback and making changes for the better.“

“the ribs chicken smash burgers are on point very good if you haven't been there you haven't had sticky fingers ....Richard from O'Reilly's“

“Sweet husband took me for my birthday! Great food! Decent service- Did not mention on menu or from server that tip would be automatically billed in. Would have liked to known at the beginning before ordering, just common courtesy. Idk if anyone else dealt with this. DELICIOUS DELICIOUS FOOD THO“

“Cool atmosphere! Nice staff and cold drinks!“

“Visited for the first time & tried the hot honey ricotta pizza last week... we've already been back to reorder! Our picky 2 year old is obsessed. This is the only pizza in our house where the leftovers are sure to be fought over until they're gone. Keep up the great work!“

“Always yummy and delicious“

“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.“

“Happy's Pizza is our company's favorite lunch caterer. They go above and beyond our expectations! The food is always fresh, delicious, and the delivery is always on time. They have exceptional customer service. Also, anytime we need a last-minute lunch order, they are always one call away, ready to provide whatever we need! Thanks, Happy's!“

“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.“

“Lots of amazing entrees and sushi options. Tonight we got O’Ramen and chicken yaki udon, along with vegetable and green grass rolls, and sesame honey avocados for dessert. My favorite dish is hot stone bowl bibimbap but I shouldn’t order it every time. There’s always lots of open seating and usually no wait from 7 to 8, but they tend to get a late rush.“

“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!!!“

“Fast, fresh , professional“

“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.“

“Sweetwater Tavern is a BBQ lover’s dream with Detroit soul. From the moment you walk in, the smoky aroma of ribs and wings lets you know you’re in for something special. Their Sweetwater Wings, marinated for 24 hours and fried to perfection, are the star of the show — crispy, flavorful, and served with homemade bleu cheese or ranch that actually tastes homemade.

The rib combos are generous and satisfying, especially the full slab with free wings — a combo that lives up to its “Best Ribs in Detroit” reputation. The shrimp and catfish dinners are also standouts, with a crispy golden finish and just the right seasoning.

Sides like mac & cheese, greens with cornbread, and seasoned fries round out the meal with comfort-food flair. And if you’re in the mood for a burger, the Sweetwater Burger with bacon and Swiss is juicy, messy, and worth every bite.

Service is fast, portions are hearty, and the vibe is laid-back with a touch of tavern charm. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a feast, Sweetwater Tavern delivers bold flavors and Detroit hospitality.“

“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 :-)“

“Thank you so much for the amazingly kind woman who took my order tonight and made sure that it was processed correctly very hard to find kind people like this today especially at the end of the night. She did not have to do what she did, but she went out of her way to make sure that I was accommodated. My order was right and since they could not do it over the phone, she gave me a discount. Thank you again. I hope you are so blessed in this new year!“
