New American Restaurants near Orion, MI

“It's a Greek specialty/coney American diner. If you like those, you'll love this place. Especially fond of their Greek salad, saganaki, and grilled chicken breast dinner. All of the appetizers are great as well. Always accurate and never forgets special instructions. Love this place, will continue to frequent.“

“Great meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

“Birthday celebration with life long friends was perfect. Delicious food, drinks, great service, with a cozy ambience. I give Oakland Kitchen & Bar a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We enjoyed our time at the HUB. We went for a small birthday party and did the golfing simulator and bombowling. The golf simulator is not TopGolf so I’m not sure why it’s labeled as such… we had several issues with the simulator and no one knew enough about it to assist. The bombowling was fun, but at $100/hr for the lane, it’s a bit steep. We were able to get a few games in with 6 people but once it gets crowded it can be problematic with footballs flying and bouncing everywhere. Overall, I’d come back with a larger group so you can split costs evenly. Prices can start to get higher if it’s less than 4 people.“

“Best selection in town. No one has more allocated bottles than Alan“

“We had 29 seniors eat here on Saturday, May 4th. The food was delicious and served fast! Gabby was our server. She was accomodating and very cordial. I highly recommend this restaurant and will return the next time we are in the area. Thanks for great service!“

“We are regulars at Stuffed Bun and can’t imagine not spending our Sunday morning with them. The food is always excellent and the staff make us feel like family. The food is delicious and portions are generous. A few of our favorites are the country omelette, breakfast burrito, cinnamon pancakes and chicken Greek salad. 5 stars ⭐️“

“Nice Staff. Michelle and Erica and Gary were great. definitely would recommend classic Lanes“

“Excellent food as always, competent help, fast service, no waiting and overall a good worthwhile experience!“

“Stopped into Alberts today for a burger an fries. Great food! Excellent and friendly service, and a decent price. What more could you ask for! Stop by when you are in Auburn Hills. You can even eat inside unlike some of the other local places!“

“Went to Rochester Bistro last weekend, taking clients as our guests. The entire staff did a wonderful job, food was outstanding, attention to detail. Overall an excellent experience. Thanks so much for making our evening special!! We will be back.“

“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“We just left from my engagement party and I couldn’t even wait to leave a review because it was so phenomenal. Chris, his kitchen crew, Nikki the manager and John our server went above and beyond today with an unforgettable experience for me, my fiancé and our family to celebrate our engagement. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for these amazing and incredible individuals. Our food was absolutely delicious and so flavorful, drinks were on spot and their hospitality was excellent. We had chicken, pasta salad, Mac and cheese, pretzel bites and meatballs I recommend every single one of these items. PHENOMENAL. There was never a moment they were not around if we needed anything and were so quick to return. (VERY attentive) This was all of our first times here and we will definitely be coming back for regular lunch or dinner service or for future events. Thank you CK Diggs Staff for an unforgettable night!!!! 100/10!!“

“We LOVED the Reuben eggs rolls. My husband and I shared them and it was filling enough to be a meal for us. We each had a happy hour drink and so for the two of us, our total bill was $22. Not bad! We also got to sit outside by the “waterfall”. Bitter Tom’s is a great local restaurant.“

“I truly believe this is one of the best spots in Rochester/Rochester Hills. Incredible food from appetizers to dessert, as well as a stunning atmosphere and an incredible staff that always has smiles on their face. The owner and his family are some of the best people I know. If you had to try one thing here, I would recommend the carbonara americano, but why try one thing when you could try everything! The family at bolognas makes this place very special and one of a kind. Do yourself a favor and see for yourself!

Vegetarian options: They have incredible items like the caprese, bruschetta, eggplant Parmesan, Andrea pizza (personal favorite) and MUCH more. If nothing tickles your fancy, you can always create your own pasta that fits a vegetarian diet and hits the spot!

Dietary restrictions: A personal friend is allergic to both dairy and gluten, and has no trouble creating a delicious pasta that fits her needs!

Parking: Downtown Rochester always has issues with parking, but luckily there is a garage 30 seconds walking from the back door and plenty of parking available behind the restaurant as well. If you look in the right places downtown, the are some free spots as well!

Kid-friendliness: There are kids cups and smaller portions of pasta and pizzas just for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a handicap restroom on the first floor and access from the Main Street. There are stairs, but only in the back that lead to the other restrooms. The staff is always eager to help any guest with walkers, wheelchairs, or other mobility aids.“

“Our group had a Christmas dinner event last night and everything went perfectly. We made our reservations with Morgan. They were confirmed with Chris and Kim was the head waitress. Kim also had several other members of the waitress staff help us and the service was excellent. We were in a separate room and it was set up to our specifications as I had previously discussed with Morgan. This is the fifth year that we’ve had our Christmas social event at this restaurant, and we will definitely be back in the future. Our cost per person may seem a little bit high, but we did also get appetizers and two drinks for each of us.

Parking: On the negative side of things, the parking is a little challenging for people in wheelchairs or with motorized scooters, but it still worked out well with a little bit of advanced planning on our part.

Wheelchair accessibility: Our party is a support group for people with mobility challenges, and the room was set up with all low tables to accommodate wheelchairs, and the tables were far enough apart that everyone could sit and move apart comfortably. We requested to make one minor Change after everybody arrived, and they accommodated us without any questions. Next year we are going to ask them to set up the tables in a U formation, and we are confident that they will accommodate us.“

“Had not been here for a salad in a long time. Their Chef Salad was just as good or better than I remembered. Lots of fresh tasty vegetables, meats cheese. Freshly baked Pita Bread and Salad Dressing was just right! Waitress was wonderful! Very helpful. Happy with the price and prompt service. Highly recommend!! I will be returning a lot more regularly.“

“Last night my family and myself went to Grand Tavern for supper after a long day. Our waiter Xhorxh was absolutely amazing! Personally, I have dietary restrictions and explained to him that I am unable to have gluten, dairy, or egg. I had already pre-creeped the menu before arriving so I could find a meal that would be easy to hopefully adapt to my dietary restrictions. After explaining my restrictions Xhorxh was ON IT! He immediately spoke to the chef and the chef adapted my meal to my restrictions. Xhorxh did tell me that there could be a possible cross contamination with gluten on one of my sides and explained that they couldn’t guarantee that that one thing would be gluten free. Listen, not very often in the service industry do you come across a wait staff member or chef that made sure to cross all of the boxes. I ordered brussel sprouts as the appetizer without the cheese (I could have had three plates of that it was so good) and the cedar plank salmon and ordered two veggies as my side. IT was DELISH!!!!! Xhorxh also made sure that our drinks were constantly filled and took amazing care of our family. My MIL even made a comment after we received our meals how she really liked him as a waiter. I wished we had a Grand Tavern where we lived but unfortunately we are 8 hours away but we will absolutely be back when visiting family! ❤️“

“My father introduced me to Lucky’s and they have become my favorite restaurant. They are worth driving 30 minutes for a fantastic meal.“

“Always a great experience. I am from Michigan but now live in Maryland, but every time I visit, this is my first stop. And that bread…..“

“We hold our annual business dinner at TMH. We, as well as out guests, are always more than pleased with the food, drinks, atmosphere and service!“

“Love this bar. Food, fun and friends“

“I hosted my daughter’s baby shower there this past Saturday. From start to finish they were very accommodating. The food was delicious and the service was great. A big thank you to “Leonna” the event coordinator that I dealt with throughout. She also served the day of the shower and was very “on top” of everything. Leonna even designed a menu that resembled the baby shower invitation and placed it at every seat to allow our guests to know what lunch courses would be served.
My husband and I have celebrated various birthdays and anniversaries here but this was my first time hosting an event. I highly recommend the Rochester Chop House.“

“Best Burger in town excellent“

“From personal experience I don’t recommend working here, I don’t know how Margret has a job as a manager speaking from experience as well she’s so entitled until the owner comes in. Two of the managers I had no problem with they were very nice and understanding, But Margret was a nightmare in disguise I’m not the first to walk out because of her just in the past month we’ve lost 4 people not including me because of the way she treats, speaks, and acts towards people. I’m not one for bashing anybody but I don’t know how they let someone like her work and manage a good restaurant like this. We’ve had a couple of disagreements, but I’ll get to the point because I messed up an order while serving she tried to get me to pay for the food keep in mind this is my first mistake and I did pay for the food out of my tips but after the argument, I was told by two co-workers she took out her laptop and changed my schedule from 6 days to 3, which is now messing with my income. I'm a young man trying to save up for my schooling at the moment, so when I found this out and saw my schedule for next week I called her as anyone would do, she then declined my call and I texted her to call me we need to talk, she immediately texts back I’m busy and I’m questioning your tone? This is over text as well not a phone call. So at this point, I’m like what is her problem I wanna talk it out. So I went on to tell her about what I was told by my co-workers and my schedule which let’s be real 50-year-old women messing with 20 years old income over a disagreement is just absurd and honestly insane. I texted her what I was told and she responded with I think you need to take a step back and think about who you're talking to? So at this point, I’m mad because now it’s just a toxic conversation created by her Margret, I went on to say how she has made the work environment toxic and uncomfortable and that messing with my income is completely childish, and I had already told my other manager that if this continues I’m putting my two weeks in. So In general they knew I was leaving the company it was a toxic and uncomfortable environment not only for me but for everyone, Margret and her husband Luis act like they own the place, her husband is just a cook but that’s beside the point, everyone working there would say the same, one of the managers is about to quit because of the way Margret treats him I won’t say any other names because this is just about her how she made it such a toxic and uncomfortable environment. After I asked her how she would feel if someone was messing with her income, I didn’t get a response for hours to keep in mind they already knew I was gonna quit so she fired me before I could. After about 4 hours I get a text message towards the night saying it would be best if I didn’t come back and work a Rio on main and to be honest I felt relieved knowing I would never work for someone like that ever again. This was just one event I could go into another time when I was super sick, but we’re not because I don’t even really have time for this after I was let go I told her I hope she has a great life but I will be leaving a google review and yelp review about her. She ruined the environment, she messed with my income, she verbally assaulted me multiple times at work, and she verbally assaults another manager who is about to quit because she has made the environment so toxic for anyone she doesn’t agree with or anyone who doesn’t obey the craziest authority. I would understand paying for food if you messed up 7 orders but after my one mess up I couldn’t believe the way she treated me there and other servers and staff. So sadly to everyone looking to work here, I’m sorry but I suggest you look somewhere else until this manager is gone she’s a very toxic and childish human being, if only I could post some of the things she’s said. Thank you for reading and listening to what I went through here. Also, think twice before you let someone treat you like an undervalued human or garbage we all have a voice let it speak.“

“Delicious!! I've tried the beef and chicken. Both were great.“

“We had such a great time! The staff were all welcoming and very friendly. We will be back for sure.“

“Having had the pleasure of visiting here on multiple occasions across a long span of time, I can say consistency is key, and that word is etched into the walls of this fine establishment, serving as one of its main ethos's.

You can visit at anytime of day, and get exactly what you ordered, how you ordered it, with rarely a deviation, and in a time of constant change, a bit of stability in your dining experience can mean the absolute world.

The service is impeccable, with the waitstaff always aware when you would like to order, when the food is ready, and when you need a refill among other things.

If you're looking for an all-around fantastic American-style dining experience and are in the area, why not visit and see for yourself.“

“great food, great service, clean and affordable“

“friendly, relaxed atmosphere with a lake view. Good Vibes for the Holidays, great food everyday.“

“Krystal was a great hostess! Extremely attentive to our table. She made us feel “special”. She deserves a raise!“

“Don't like the chilli cheese fries . Fries dry AF from the fry to the cheese and the chilli very stingy. Detroit is original coney island maybe you guys should visit there to learn the formula.Also I usually get wings which comes with Texas toast. Here it doesn't you have to ask and you pay almost $2 for a dry as Texas toast no butter on it at all. Then the lady gets offended when you tell her you want your toast in the first place. There's one nice lady that's there at night.I now go to Costco for my coney Island wings and Texas toast. Sam's club has the chilli and cheese.“
