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

“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!“

“We love it here! We make special trips out the way to get the delicious and fresh food. We love the Roma tomato soup, the burger is so tender and amazing flavor from the cheddar cheese and the kalamata olive aioli is so unique and I love it even though I don’t love that version of olives.“

“Great Sunday Brunch Menu!“

“Great spot. Got home after a long weekend, flew into DTW and we’re headed up 275/96 and always struggle to find a good spot so searched this one up in advance. About 30 min from DTW, pizza was amazing, we had the margherita, stuffed cheese bread, and aroncini. Everything was delicious and cooked fresh to order. Great east coast style thin crust, tangy sauce, wish this place was closer to home so we could go more often!“

“Absolutely fantastic! TJ was our bartender, & gave us a fantastic dining experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“One of the best ever“

“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!“

“Best restaurant around with the great food! Breakfast is my favorite there!“

“Amazing food, and super friendly staff! perfect spot to take the family for a great meal! 10/10“

“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!“

“Was at your lnn 11 10 22 building is awesome got to meet Chris the owner super nice guy got a lot of info on the history of the building had a burger the best also my little server Annie was a sweetheart.“

“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!“

“Beautiful decor and ambience, great for good conversations. Friendly and knowledgeable wait staff, but most importantly, the food was great. You don't often find a beautiful, wonderful place that you can actually talk and hear those at your table but this place has it all.“

“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!!“

“Good Breakfast. Good service and appreciate their efforts“

“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.“

“Love the food & service here“

“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.“

“you go there you're family...“

“We had dinner for my birthday, outside on the back patio. My husband had Mess o Perch, I had the Crispy Chicken Salad. Both were excellent. The Cole slaw and tartar sauce served with the Mess o Fish were exceptionally good. We haven’t eaten at The Bar in a while and had forgotten just how good the food is.“

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

“Fantastic!! First time visiting. Met a colleague for a working breakfast. Food was excellent - flavor, texture, temp, and presentation were all top notch. Service was excellent as well. The atmosphere was great - not too loud, with a constant buzz of enjoyment throughout (the seats were all filled - so clearly we weren’t the only ones who enjoy this location!). A shout-out to Travis the GM and Erikka our server. Erikka was attentive, patient, and on top of things the entire time. I can’t wait to return with my family!“

“Seriously underrated place. Fantastic food - Tacos, meatloaf, fries, burgers. Great service both times. Only down side was the noise level gets intolerable Friday and Saturday nights. Had to leave from the noise to couldn't hear my friend sitting across the table.

I've suggested investing in some noise cancelling technology. Let's see if they act on it. Otherwise a wonderful place. The Christmas decor is adorable.“

“The food was delicious however… we wanted bread before our meal and we had to pay $5 for a very small loaf of really good bread… ( this should be complimentary). The music was very loud when we arrived but after we asked they turned it down (a very little bit) staff and waiter were very kind and attentive. Atmosphere was very quaint and comfortable. My only complaint is that they do not offer a veterans discount. Just wish you would honor your military families as they fought for the freedom you now have to run that business … won’t return just because of that… too bad … was really close to a perfect experience… hoping to plant a seed..“

“Went recently with friends and had a good time! I would encourage others to go and try it if they haven't!
The food was good and presented nicely. Their fall bruchetta tasted a little like a dessert, mixing sweet with savory. The charcuterie board had a good variety of cheese & meat, but not a good selection of bread/crackers...just long, thin almost bland crisps that looked nice but didn't compliment the selection. The cocktail I selected was slightly spicy - a good tequila blend!
Our server was polite & friendly, but didn't even give us an opportunity to split checks. She dropped the bill and ran!“

“I would recommend going to the village grill. I went there to eat and I was greeted by a wonderful host, she had a very positive attitude and was very kind towards me. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“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!“

“So far really good“

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

“We went for a ladies breakfast and they accommodated our table of 11 without issue. I had the red olive omelette with gluten-free toast and it was great! Apparently they have a lot of gluten-free options: pancakes, waffles, toast, pita bread. Other ladies had lunch salads and other breakfast entrees and everything looked delicious! Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous, and service was outstanding! Many of the ladies had special requests on their orders and everyone was accommodated! I will be back with my family!“

“The waitress went above and beyond to make me something they don't have. Now this is great customer service. This is why this place is ranked great. Food is fast even the buss boy is smiling and not waisted to smile actual happy. I recommend this place to anyone .“

“*** Update!!

Went to stingers for a drink since it’s been a while since we’ve been here. I sat down and I had my beer right in front of me before I even ordered! The girls working are always so friendly and enjoy our time there!!

Needed a new place to hang out and we decided to try this place out. It looked a little intimidating but It certainly didn’t disappoint, a girl in a biker bar it was amazing! The girls were so nice and welcoming! Will definitely coming back here for some drinks and foods!!“

“Everything! Good food and great service! 😋“

“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.“

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

“Not the review you think it’s going to be!My girlfriend and I had dinner there this past Saturday. 7 o’clock reservation and we checked in on time, however by the time 8 o’clock rolled around, we still had not been seated and had saw others come in and be seated while we waited. I checked in with the hostess to see how much longer we would be waiting and explain that we have been waiting an hour past our reservation time. She looked at my name and said that I got lost in the queue. She added my name to the queue immediately, but there had already been five other people waiting in front of us. Nonetheless, they set us within 15 minutes, and I did ask to speak to the manager, Bryce. I explained what happened and that the hostess was even a little snippy with me. Not only did he address the situation with the hostess, but he comped our meal sent us free appetizers and while we were waiting, we had been talking to a couple of women that have also been waiting for a table and they happen to be sat near us And he noticed we have been talking so he even sent them free appetizers. They also gave us a complementary dessert of their delicious carrot cake! The food was great, our server was great, and Bryce went above and beyond to make sure his customers were satisfied with their experience there. We will be returning because of Bryce being so kind and accommodating, and of course, as always, the food is amazing. Great job, Bryce! You are an amazing manager, and we felt more than taken care of for the incident. Lovely evening!“

“Best Leo's Coney Island I have ever been too! I have been to so many having lived downriver until 2022!!! Waitress were excellent, efficient and I'm so impressed with how clean the place is even the bathrooms! As one person who recommended them you could eat in bathroom it's so clean! Food was excellent!“

“had such a wonderful experience at J. Alexander’s! From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Every single especially ally the waiter! we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and professional — they made sure our drinks stayed full, our food came out perfectly, and that we had everything we needed without even having to ask.

The manager also stopped by our table to check in and personally make sure we were enjoying our meal, which really made us feel valued and appreciated. It’s rare to see a team work so well together to create a seamless dining experience, and they truly nailed it.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was absolutely top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending J. Alexander’s to friends and family!“

“Their buttered potatoes are SOOOO delicious! The chicken tenders are different. They don't batter them so it's just crispy skin on the outside, which 4/5 times has been too leathery for me to chew. But the last time I had them they were amazing!“
