New American Restaurants near Livonia, MI

“I met my mom here for lunch and sat in the bar area. Andrea and TJ were great and the food was delicious!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Stopped in yesterday and had a beer and some lunch. The new owners were friendly and efficient. I will definitely be back.“

“Been getting deliciousness many years for family Christmas gathering. Relatives always look forward to our contribution to the feast!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“If you live in Metro Detroit area, this is by far the best J Alexander’s restaurant location. I’ve never once had to send a plate back here let alone have they ever forgotten something within my order. All of the staff is friendly and I can’t recommend them enough.“

“David is AMAZING. It’s always extremely clean and neat, and the food is top tier. David is always personable, kind, professional and cheerful. I had given the place a break for awhile, but since David has come aboard, it’s been a pleasure so I have returned. Thank you David!“

“What a great discovery. Happened upon this small take away or dine in no frills restaurant. It was hard to decide what to order because it all sounded so good. But he made good recommendations. Food was ready fast and her delivered it to our table. Delicious! Can’t wait to go back and order some other things. Portions very generous. Good people. Good food.“

“Visited on Sun 12/21 and they were so busy... but we got in very quickly! Our server, Brianna B was awesome! So sweet and friendly, she helped make our holiday lunch so much fun! And the food was delicious... came out HOT.. and that made all the difference!“

“The food was absolutely delicious. Our chef, Gregory, cooked us nachos and spaghetti bolognese..which were outstanding. Our bartender, Savannah, couldn't have taken better care of us. Kudos to you both.“

“We really enjoyed our dinner at Shakers! Our waitress, Leah, was very friendly, made sure our order was perfect, and kept coming back to check if we needed anything else. Leah was outstanding and made our dining experience excellent! Also, the manager, Crystal, checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our meal and was very friendly and kind! We will definitely be returning to Shakers after having such a great experience.“

“Thank you to Krystal for the awesome service. Great food and great service, we will be back.“

“This has become my favorite restaurant. The food is outstanding.“

“I got their breakfast burrito & personally that’s one of the best I’ve had anywhere! The salsa they serve on the side is delightful & the server I had I believe her name was Katie, she made my husband & I feel very welcome as it was our first time & we weren’t sure what to get, she didn’t rush us into anything & even recommended a few items that she likes, the breakfast burrito being one of them which I can’t thank her enough for. I also love the look of the place the windows make it feel so open & when the suns out it’s a very pretty little cafe aesthetic to dine at. I didn’t rate 5* because even though the service & food was great their was a lot of commotion in the kitchen & even some yelling which just kind of makes the dining experience a bit awkward, wish they were more professional.“

“My daughter-in-law brought me here for my first with my granddaughters. The whipped feta appetizer was great! Addictively salty, sweet, and spicy with the perfect bread on the side. The kids menu ice cream sundae was the perfect finish!“

“Thank you, Paige C., for the wonderful service you provided us tonight. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and you were a great server. Your timing was terrific and we had a really nice time. The meals were delicious and we thank the kitchen staff for providing them. Thank you to the kind gentleman who delivered them to our table. The warm chocolate chip cookies were better than we could have ever expected, really gooey and absolutely fabulous. The sparklers were a fun addition. We all appreciated your expertise at your craft. You did an amazing job and really contributed to a wonderful evening. Thank you so much!“

“Great food and drinks are amazing“

“I rarely write reviews but I want this restaurant to never go away. Go there, spend your money, you won't be upset. Comfortable restaurant, fantastic staff, and amazing food! We ordered appetizers, lunch, and take out for dinner. We got the Reuben Spring Rolls, Pretzel Sticks, Monte Cristo and the Bourbon Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, all delicious! The Mushroom Soup and Beef Stew are the best I've ever had!“

“Love the food & service here“

“Good Breakfast. Good service and appreciate their efforts“

“the food is always great and I love all the servers. they are so kind and caring. great neighborhood spot“

“This is the finest restaurant that I have been to in Michigan. The service is excellent, and the food is amazing. The Chef Maddi is extremely talented. Our server has been Ken who is ver professional and friendly.“

“This is a cute coffee/diner chair you can find in MI. The coffee / drink selection is excellent. I found the food to be lackluster. I felt like I could have gone to a leos coney island or diner for the same quality like your standard breakfast meal or eggs Benedict. I think this establishment probably shines on the fancier meals but they should focus on all of the options.“

“Best service we’ve ever had, food was delicious and so fresh. Highly recommend! Ask for Moe when you go, he’s the best! ❤️“

“Here I am editing my 1 star review to a 4.I don’t know what happened from the last time I got it but the food definitely got better. If you had a bad experience here you should definitely give it a try again.

Old review-Very dry food. Not good whatsoever. Just get from a different chicken place don’t even waste your money on this.“

“Our server Chris was spot on. From the moment we were seated he made us feel special. I ended up ordering the bang bang shrimp tacos which he recommended. They were so good! Our drinks were kept full the entire time. It was so nice to have a server who made sure we had everything we needed without having to ask. Can’t wait to sit on their patio once it gets warmer out.“

“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.“

“Thank you to Krystal for the awesome service. Great food and great service, we will be back.“

“Quiet and peaceful. profession was on point.“

“Concept of the bar was great. Waitresses or lovely. Tom sandovalt want to be bartender complete jackass! Will never come back.“

“I booked the back room for my daughter's baby shower. We had a brunch buffet and everything was delicious. The service was also very good. The room was the perfect size for 35 people and the atmosphere was nice. I would recommend Fiamma's for a shower.“

“Today I ordered the Gyro pita and wow. I've had plenty of Gyro pitas as well as wraps before but none come close to L.Georges.I don't know how they took the same ingredients and changed it for the better. The sauce on it was creamier and more well balanced than the others I have tried. Even the pita! The pita was soft but not mushy and somehow tasted better as well.
100% best Gyro pita hands down!“

“Great food and nice vibe! We came after the Lathrup Village Community Foundation’s 2025 Summer Concert Series. Awesome time.“

“Our 1st time there! It was absolutely amazing! The pizza was like the old fashion pizza, we loved it! The service was spectacular!! We will definitely be back!!“

“My wife and I stumbled across this nice little pizzeria in downtown Northville. The pizza tasted like it was made in Italy. We had the Homey Badger. We also had their Italian sausage meat balls for appetizers. The staff are very nice setting the tone for a nice atmosphere.“

“good food ... good service... will go back“

“Just had the best bar burger I’ve had in age’s….. seriously perfect medium burger, full of flavor, not greasy. Will definitely be our choice for a burger in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Make sure you have your events there as the service is amazing. Love everything about this restaurant.“

“the staff were the sweetest, the food was delicious and the presentation was 🤌🤌🤌“

“If you’re looking for a good burger, this is the place to come! Portions are huge and taste amazing! We will be back soon!“

“We had Mother’s Day brunch here a the food was amazing. Everything was great. Potatoes seasoned right, filet was cook medium, with an exquisite gravy. Chicken and vegetables were also good. The waitress and staff was attentive and served us some very delightful strawberry mimosas. Over the experience was very good!“

“This place is So good.😌😌“

“We were in Wednesday night. The country omelette was amazing, love the rye toast (there are seeds in it) they gave plenty of gray on the omelette.Coffee was the best coffee I've had from a diner. Our purple haired waitress karol was absolutely phenomenal!!! Her personality is a 10/10 funny, pretty and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall she is a real gem of a person. We will be back, if not for the food definitely for karol!“

“Classic table service with seasonally prepared dishes. Hummus with Kalamata olive pesto and on site made pita bread was hard to want to share. Roasted salmon with couscous, which was a tad dry, and lovely Swiss chard hit the spot. Large by the glass wine list with many great choices.“

“I always order carry out from this place and it is usually so good and the best tomato soup I’ve ever had but the last three times I’ve ordered it. The soup has not been good and I haven’t received my full order and the food just not as good as it used to be. .“
