24 Best American Restaurants in Midland

“Had lunch there today. Had not been in the building for 20 years. Read the reviews on facebook and had to try it. I was not disappointed. The olive burger was fabulous and the vanilla malt took me back in time. Everything was terrific. I highly recommend this place. I’ll be back soon.“

“Excellent food, I am very impressed with the quality and price of the food. will be a frequent customer here“

“Thank you, Alex's Railside Restaurant for your huge contribution of feeding the crew of the"Followers film" 2021 in Sanford, Mi.“

“We have eaten here a couple times now and have had a great experience each time. Each dinner has been very delicious and the staff polite and kind. Each dish is full of great flavors and depth--each time being something different from the menu. I would definitely recommend!

Parking: The primary parking is on the road in front of the building on, West Main Street. There is additional parking in the parking lot closer to the park, behind The H Hotel, which is the building that the restaurant is built into--it is a little more of a walk though.“

“The food was amazing, and the service was commendable! The server was the only one working and she had a bit of a rush when we got there, but she was still professional, timely, and made sure our drinks were always full. The waffle fries were so good and crispy, and the Philly steak wrap was so flavorful. We also loved the Southwest wrap with that sauce! We will be going back!“

“Applebee's has such a selection. Make sure to get the app so you know their daily specials everyday has a wonderful selection and a special price just for us. What you're not doing anything right now check out and see if it's happy hour. Nothing better than a friendly waitress or waiter and a drink with some appetizers to boot. Dang now I'm hungry now I'm going to go right now I'll see you there.

UPDATE: STILL GREAT, ask for Julie K. Waitress of the day! Happy birthday to me with a Butter Pecan Blondie thank you...09/01/2024****“

“There is one issue and others have same issue with is they close so early at 2pm it's very hard to dine here finding them open. Which automatically make us go to other places. So you need longer hours just do. Otherwise it's a top notch place with incredible food and seating area.“

“Enjoyed dinner here for two, the restaurant was busy but the service was fast! I had the special Ollie burger basket with the seasoned fries and the burger was excellent however the fries weren't as seasoned as I'd hoped they would be. My girlfriend had the blackened chicken sandwich which was also delicious! Also the potato skins for an appetizer are a must! Not much to complain about here, will be visiting again.“

“Good place to pickup a burger and best fries in town. Nice atmosphere too.“

“The staff were so friendly, waited on us several times. Kids loved the free ice cream cones. Thank you for your excellent service in a time our family needed a good friendly dinner.Good Bless you.“

“We popped in with a large group during the middle of a dance competition we were attending. Mike was our server, and he had just the right amount of humor and awesomeness to keep our group happy. The food was delicious, and not a single kid (out of 6??) complained, the parents were happily fed as well. Hands down though, Mike made it an awesome experience. Part of our group has to unexpectedly leave and go back to the competition, but they boxed it up for us and we took it back for them to enjoy. Since we are fairly local, I'm sure most of us will happily return when we are out that way again! Thanks for the great lunch and the stellar service!“

“Coconut Cream Pie was more than fantastic!! Full of fresh coconut through out with the best crust!“

“Great breakfast buffet at an affordable price from 6am to 11am every day. Andy is a great cook and your friendly waitress, Wendy made us feel right at home and beyond what she had to . so, if you want one of the best breakfast buffet around with great service with a smile, go check out Big E,s. You can thank me later!“

“Stopped in for dinner and drinks as an out of town guest. Great welcoming atmosphere, drinks and food. !!“

“Friendly service from the staff. And the manager Kait was helping in the Kitchen along with helping out at the counter. Great teamwork everyone!“

“This place has been one of my favorite restaurants since I was a kid. I moved away from Midland many years ago, but whenever I visit, I always get a chicken salad with pita and honey butter from YaYa’s on my way out of town. Their quality of food and friendly service has never wavered over the years. Who knew something so simple as fresh lettuce, homemade ranch, and grilled chicken could be so delicious?! The building is unassuming but clean, and the chicken speaks for itself. Everyone should try it out!“

“This was just a stop for beers and pretzel. During a beer festival party.
They make a decent selection of beers. Don't drink wine.
Nice atmosphere with outside seating connected to a cute little event venue via a beautiful green space/ beer garden. All this is connected to a bike trail that a lot of locals use to arrive. Food is good.
Prices:
Beers run (late 2024) between 5.5 6.5 basically gonna cost you close to 7 for a pint.
Food is similarly priced, but it is good. 12 bucks for the big pretzel. Nice place for a date.
View from beer garden

Parking: Should be fine usually. Can get crowded during events.

Kid-friendliness: There were little ones rubbing around outside. Very pleasant atmosphere definitely lil one friendly. Inside the bar children should be controlled.

Wheelchair accessibility: Nice big paths don't know about restrooms. I would imagine they are ADA compliant.“

“Good food and good waitress. Quick service. Store needs to be cleaned better. Dust hanging off center partion and glass in it needs to be cleaned. Lots of dust on top of lights. Dirty bathroom floors“

“Great food and now amazing Bourbon and Rye. :) thank you for partnering with Three Bridges Distillery.“
