38 Best American Restaurants near Ortonville

“My favorite place to eat in Ortonville! The family that owns this restaurant is just wonderful. I can't count how many times we've eaten here, and every part of our experience has been fantastic every time. I try something new each time I order, however, I've never ordered anything but the Mexican cuisine (the cheese chili rillenos are my favorite) . Recently I saw a comment on a local FB page bragging about their Greek Salad, so I ordered one. The salad was put together beautifully, but the dressing!!!!.....omg the dressing was IT! It was hands-down the best Greek Salad I've ever had. This talented family nails Mexican cuisine & Greek. I'm looking forward to finish trying the rest of their amazing menu! -Suzy Camp JB's BBQ“

Shannon, manager, stopped by a few times to check on things, which always gets extra credit from us as they are more involved with the overall experience. Food was good and plentiful, and cocktails were well made.“

“I do like this place for food and drink and I would recommend it, however, each of the times I have been there (solo) to just chill, have a drink, and watch the games - some of the males that work there, specifically foreign guys were very unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable with flirting and approaching asking for hugs, making distasfulcomments, etc. I would NEVER go back for that reason, extremely creepy atmosphere,specially they drink at the bar after-work and approach women , clearly not welcomed behavior“
