“Great food at 90's prices!

It's a bit off the beaten path, but we're so glad we could try this joint. It has a super small-town feel to it, and all of the food was excellent. The staff here seem to enjoy what they do and know many of the regulars. The menu has a surprising variety of dishes as well.“

“had the Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, Sausage Gravy was Average but the biscuits were from a can. When you can peel layers its from a can. you can do better than that. you could buy a flat of biscuits better than the canned version.“

“Just visited River’s Edge at Carrington for the first time since 2020. And it did not disappoint! Food was delicious and service was exceptional. Kudos to Kayla and her team!“

“Hands down, my favorite restaurant ever. You just can't go wrong with a Big Boy, with tarter sauce on it, and a side of crispy fries. I have ordered the same thing every time since I was a kid. If I see a Big Boy while out doing things, I make it a point to stop in for a bite. They never disappoint. The service is always fast and friendly, and the prices are right!

Kid-friendliness: Great selections on their kids menu“

“Great diner! Food is on point and they were able to accommodate our large group that was in town for a soccer tournament. We called ahead to let em know we had a big group and they were so cool about it, looks like they have a big local crowd too, so I’d check em out if in town.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are more than welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: Looks easy to navigate in and out of building“

“We stopped here on the way home from Detroit today. Intentionally searched for an automotive themed restaurant to eat at. We sat at the bar and fell in love with the place! Our bartender, Delilah, and a young man who I assume to be a shift manager held conversations with us-telling us about the restaurant, the food options, local history, etc. Such a great experience! Typically customer service is hit or miss in the world anymore, but we did not experience that here. Top notch! Food was great and the mixed drinks were amazing!“

“The Open Faced Prime Rib sandwich, was the best I have had since Red Wells closed their doors. The meat is so flavorful. My waitress Karley who was the sweetest thing, told me they slow roast the meat then slice it. We had the Hocus Pocus Marg flight. Sooo cute and so yummy. The place is gorgeous.“

“Today we had a Birthday Lunch at The American Diner for our Sweet Friends, Luella and Karen. Stephanie was our awesome waitress!...there were 16 of us! The food was delicious! It was a wonderful lunch with wonderful friends! ...FYI...They have a large room in the back of the restaurant for your groups or parties.“

“I LOVE TONYDOGS!!! Staff is so friendly and helpful sweetest girls ever. Honestly best hotdogs ever, might as well have created the hotdog. I’m currently eating this delicacy RIGHT NOW and you should too. Homemade ketchup?? AMAZING. Homemade rootbeer?? SO FREAKING GOOD. Rootbeer float? THE BEST. I’m never going anywhere else for a chili dog ever again as long as they’re around.“

“Good food. Very generous portions. Freindly and speedy service. GREAT value.“

“The lead waitress is an awesome lady! She gives remarkable service! The place is too busy for the number of people they have serving. BOTH the cooks and the servers are efficient in what they do. The place is landlocked otherwise they could probably double their business.
That lead waitress makes the place rock! Pancakes were great!“

“Amazing every time“

“A sweet waitress went way above and beyond her duty, My husband, I and our two friends went in to Waters Edge Restaurant, my husband and our friends ordered, I ask if they had milk shakes because I told her I’m having problems swallowing food down, the food won’t go down. She said so sorry we don’t have milk shakes so I just ordered a root beer to drink while everyone ate (it’s ok though) our sweet waitress whipped up milk with ice whip cream and made me a milk shake with whipped cream and chocolate sauce on top. Brought me a big cup. I said oh wow! I love you thank you!! She said it complementary. She made my day how thoughtful and sweet of her to care so much about another person’s problems and health issues. The food looked delicious my husband and our two friends said it was. Thank you! I wish I would have got her name.“

“Love ideal hotdog! Best chili Mac hands down! Staff is the best here! Clean place awesome food.Great chili dogs! Great omelets! Great everything. Looking for a classic diner with great food stop in. Been around forever. They need to sell ideal hotdog merch. One of the best restaurants in Toledo.“

“We always get excellent service here, my kids always eat the food (they're picky), it's good and usually half the price of us going to Applebee's for dinner.“

“That's not the place to go if you want to drink a inlot before you eat. That is the best service I've ever had at a restaurant and the food was great as the waitress was one of the best“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Relaxing atmosphere.“

“Went there for the very first time yesterday with my sons, and everything we ordered was delicious. I was NOT disappointed. My son thoroughly enjoyed his root beer float, and chicken sandwich, and my Philly steak was good, I just wish they had mushrooms to add to it. The onion rings were thick, and not salty at all, and the pink lemonade is the best I've had so far😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I had the beast burger deluxe on a homemade bun. Best burger I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection (medium). John was our congenial server. The atmosphere is homey, very comfortable! I cannot believe I've driven by this hidden gem for years! 1st time here and I will definitely return!!“

“We popped in for a quick drink after a family event and the service was quick and friendly!!“

“We had a fabulous lunch with cocktails last week. The service was excellent and there is no better view than out by the marina and yacht club. Thank you to the Harrington family for making this such a perfect summer hangout! Sending greetings from Corpus Christi, TX!!! Jacki Bellino-Siller“

“I decided to try their smash burger, the bar keep said it was there special for the day. The price was higher than expected but it was worth every penny. Smash burgers have been on the rise in popularity for a while now and the Ida tavern is doing em' right!“

“Everything we have had there has been great…. Burgers 🍔 are terrific and I’m partial to the spinach pie….. I do wish they would make the regular Mac and cheese all the time instead of just on Fridays“

“Writing this review as I sit in the booth! Hands down best bacon cheeseburger I've had in a while and thats saying something! Wish I had a place like this back home and next time I make the trip out I will be back again! Great music with a jukebox for personal picks! Overall awesome space and kept very clean!“

“First time customer Staff was fantastic. Burger was one of the best I've had. Can't believe I waited to try this gem! Will tell everyone I know and will be coming back!“

“Good people, good food! Need a better selection on the jukebox... Sal is awesome!😉“

“The cheeseburger and fries were delicious!“

“I'm in the search of the best Reuben. So far Joy's has an edge other places I've eaten at since visiting Monroe. The meat thickness was good, the sauerkraut has good placement being in the middle and I love it when the sauce is on the side so you can add as little or as much as you want. All in all I would say they have the best so far.“

“Stopped in for the first time with my wife to eat dinned. Originally ordered the sausage sandwich but the were out. I ultimately ordered the kielbasa hash. It was very tasty and I thought priced well. The wife ordered a burrito and 2 tacos. I had a bite of both and they too were pretty good and priced well. The atmosphere is that of a neighborhood bar. Both patrons and employees were nice and pleasant. We plan to return.“

“Good food Good service Good drinks“

“First time back since Covid stopped at the Ohio line... 😁😁“

“Danny and Ruben are phenomenal! Awesome customer service, my food is always right and tastes great, friendly and always makes sure I have everything needed like plastic ware, napkins and condiments. They also always make sure the food is plated correctly for no spills or mess. I get my breakfast and sometimes lunch at the drive thru. You 2 always make my day better with your smiles, kindness and attention to detail! Thank you!!!!“

“My husband and me both love Cracker Barrel...but the restaurant in Monroe, MI was terrible. I was told they were making more peach lemonade, when in truth, the restaurant was totally out, and out of meatloaf and ribs...very slow service. When my crispy chicken salad finally arrived, it was made incorrectly after waiting 45 minutes for our dinner. We had to ask 3 times for silverware...The manager never came out to talk to us on request...We will never go back to this Cracker Barrel. Worst dinner experience 😒 😡“

“Excellent food, well priced, friendly staff, and exceptional service.“

“Food's pretty good prices are reasonable. Manager Earl does a good job.

Parking: Typically plenty of room for parking. Asphalt parking lot while maintained. Plenty of room for handicap accessibility . Thank you..“
