“The best thing about this place is the service. Our waitress was great! The place itself is a home town local place. So could use updating but it's clean and warm. The food it's hit or miss. I got the dinner buffet and some things were great like the chicken. Others were not. Best part about the food as it's atleast home in house it doesn't taste like freezer food.”
“Great coffee and delicious breakfast sliders or burritos; or plenty of sweet, baked options as well. Alternate milk options available and many flavored syrups to make whatever coffee or spritzer you are in the mood for.”
“Fresh, high quality dairy products that you buy directly from the farming family that produces it. It the closest thing to having a family milk cow that you can get!”
“I’ve been wanting to try this place for a few months and I finally did tonight. It was fantastic! Our waitress was extremely polite and efficient!! Food came out fast, hot, and DELICIOUS!! Great prices for the portions! This place has earned a special place in my heart as my favorite Mexican joint!!”
“I had a blueberry bake something. And a cup of very good coffee with very good hashbrowns. One of the best breakfast meals I have had in quite a while. 10:30 AM on a Sunday and they were still very busy. I had to wait about five minutes to be seated Nothing fancy about this restaurant. Just very good food about a 30 minute drive from my house and I will definitely! Be back.”
“Came in for a quick weekday lunch. The perch was amazing, service was fast and courteous, and I would certainly recommend this place to a friend. I didn't need to ask for a thing the whole time I was here, it was all handed to me. Thanks!”
“This place is amazing they have some of the best coffee that I’ve ever had and that’s including my own personal brand when I say that I love the things that they do for the community out there in Ionia I drive from Stanton once a week for Sozo.”
“A WONDERFUL breakfast of Texas Hash. I'd asked one of the guys (they're twins) if they offered a Cinnamon Roll Pancake. Whoops! That's at the "other place." But...here he came with a medium size Cinnamon Chip Pancake with a Cream Cheese topping swirled on it. It was the BEST!!! I think it was the cinnamon CHIPS that made the difference. The other place didn't use chips. Thank you Bluewater people. You went over and above!!”
“Except for my food everything else looked great. I had the shrimp and I kinda blame myself on it being over cooked. But it was a very nice place, and yes , I do recommend ”
“We are from Vegas and stopped by here for some take out pizza while visiting relatives in Portland. Ordered a Breakfast and a Pickle Pizza.Not something we would usually order, but we have never had either so we went for it. Glad we did. They were great. Everyone enjoyed them..!!!They also had fresh donuts and other desserts, and they all looked so good.The store is going thru a major construction project, but the service and atmosphere was still 5 star.The owner Josh was there when we stopped by and we chatted with him while we waited for our pizzas. Nice guy with a great vision for the future of an expanded and improved Portland Party Store.Can't wait to stop by the next time we are in town visiting our relatives.”
“Over 50 ice cream flavors!Handmade in small batches by the owner's son!People drive from over 25 miles around to come here.Delicious. Super high cream content!.... And watch out for the coffee flavors as they have real Starbuck's Expresso shots in them!Delicious!!”
“I went to this place for the first time and fell in love with it, it's a small bar with a big big personality. The owner is amazing, his staff is amazing, the food is way way over the top (amazing) compared to other food places especially other bars, the people running the karaoke on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights are amazing and have great current hits. About the only thing that I can say bad is the bathroom hot water is very hot. LolParking: Parking is street parking, and there is a lot of it.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly till 9, then it's adult fun till closing.Wheelchair accessibility: You can get in the side entrance with a wheel chair.”
“Excellent restaurant, in past the meat spaghetti sauce was perfect. Tonight it was kind of "thick and bland". This is very unusual; it usually is tasty with chunk tomatoes and peppers. Will be back but a little disappointed tonight. The service and atmosphere was perfect, including a brownie desert for my birthday ?”
“So good! Fresh burger home made buns and the Fries like none Iv ever had before! The cook knows what she’s doing and the textures and cook times are on point! Our waitress was a delight herself and attentive! Prices are reasonable with healthy portions! Highly recommended! Try the olive burger! Simple and delicious! ?”
“Can't say enough about ConfluxCity! Every time we go never disappoints. The verity of food and beverages does not compare. My personal favorite is the Ruben Nachos.”
“As a member of the "mug club", I may be a bit biased, here. ? Just kidding!I absolutely love their pizza! There's just something addicting about the sauce. (I get a side of marinara to dip my crust in. Or do I use the crust to shovel in the marinara? Either way... Mmmmm.)My second favorite food is the deep fried green beans which are served with a side of siracha ranch.I've tried most everything on the menu, as long as you know what you like (for me, no gorgonzola), everything is very good.Unfortunately, I'm not a craft beer person (sorry, Pete) so I cannot attest to how good those are. I stick with Focus which is a very basic beer. The wines I've tasted have all been excellent.As I referenced above, you can buy a mug (I'm not sure what the current price is, $150 ish?) and the pour is the same price as a pint, but the mugs holds about 3-5 ounces more. More beer, same price, I like it! Your mug will then reside at SSB for future use.There's ample parking on both sides of the building.The building is easily wheelchair accessible.There is also a beautiful patio at the front of the building, which is nice during the warmer months.This is not a place I would take small children, yet there usually is at least one small child there, so.... ?♀️ It's not a bad environment, just not what I would think of if taking kids out.Please proceed to the bar to order and get your drinks. The food will be brought out to your table when it's ready. Enjoy!”
“A cute little ice cream shop in a cute little town! Lots of different and unique ice cream options. I got a PB&J sundae and added cheesecake pieces. Lots of toppings to add to the dessert of your choice! There was a line to the door when we went, but service was quick and efficient.”
“Had my future daughter in laws bridal shower there. Was a great place food was great the servers were very busy but always stopped to help and was set up very nice and owner always contacted me back when i had questions great great ”
“Pirates pub is hands down one of my all time favorite places to eat and hangout! Food is 10/10 and the staff is amazing. Tony and his team have been doing an amazing job highly recommend checking them out if you haven't!”
“great burgers and onion rings my sister told me about this place i really enjoy the food and service is good best burgers ive had in ionia county i appreciate a good burger and the onion rings are very tasty too i lived here for years and never even knew about this place untill my sister told me about this hidden ”
“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. I had the grilled salmon and it was very flavorful. My husband even liked it and he doesn't like salmon. The live music was great too!”
“Late lunch. Ordered fish and chips with extra tartar sauce and a side salad with thousand island dressing. The side salad was delicious! It had a good greens to toppings ratio, and plenty of shredded cheese. The french fries were the best I have had in a long time! They were slightly crunchy outside and warm and soft on the inside and seasoned perfectly. The fish just added to the experience perfectly! Its crunchy coating was everything I wanted. It held up quite well to the lemon wedge drizzles that I squeezed on top.And that's just the food! The waitress was kind in her communication and attentive to my needs. She was what all wait staff should strive to be!The atmosphere was calm and relaxing. I would most definitely dine here again. I hope I get to again soon!”
“We have eaten at, or had takeout from, New China Buffet many times over the past 10 years, and they have never failed to satisfy. The staff is always helpful and friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. I've eaten at a number of Chinese restaurants here in Michigan, and the New China Buffet in Portland is my favorite, by far!”
“My wife and I have ordered from here seceral times and gotten a variety of different things. Everything is always super good and the left overs are good even the next day. Highly recommend going here.”
“Food is the best..the fries are amazing...its that perfect hole in the wall bar that you want to see...I highly recommend visiting this bar you won't be disappointed.”
“Our family celebrated our Christmas gathering at the Oakwood and it was the absolute best! Thanks Jim and Marci and your entire staff for the excellent service, food and drinks, I heard compliments all night! We will be back as a group and throughout the year. 5 stars from the Miller Family!”
“Stopped in for lunch, and got the deal on the 16" pizza. I had the BBQ chicken pizza with bacon, and pineapple on recommendation from the server. It was a really good pizza from the overall flavor combo down to the crust.”
“Always enjoy the coffee I get from my local Biggby! The Asiago sausage egg and cheese breakfast bagel (bragel) is a favorite ? I usually get extra cream cheese! Service is always super friendly these folks love their job and you can tell.”
“Nice friendly staff. I always have a good time there playing pool or darts or hanging out up at the bar and chat it up with the locals. Good times and they are open til 2am unlike most bars closing at 12”
“Best pizza I’ve had in the Ionia area so far. Next time I’ll ask for more sauce , but I know I am not typical in that. I also love eggplant on pizza, so I’m always looking for someplace to do that. Pizza also passed the test of being good the next day. The proprietor is friendly and the cheese is real. Old town photos on the walls are a plus.”
