“Best Mexican food (and chicken tenders) around, a great family owned business, margaritas are large and refreshing, haven’t had a bad meal from them, carry out is always fast and the side window is convenient. Great small place to catch a game at the bar and meet up for small talk.“

“So...6 days ago my family lost everything in a house fire with no renters insurance, litterally everything including my car burned down. After the fire claimed everything but our lives, looters/criminals stole everything that was left. It's just been a horrible week for my family but really thankful to be alive. Tonight (Sunday 8.10.25) we arrived 45 mins before closing time, which we normally don't do due to both being servers majority of our careers, we just dont come during closing time usually but we had a babysitter for an hour and we just wanted to eat out peacefully. Jeb/Jebidiah was absolutely amazing. He never once made us feel rushed and answered our many questions. (seriously, I'm picky when it comes to ranch and A1 and Jeb was on it, very politely) and I cannot thank him enough for his positive attitude, attentiveness, and overall great personality. I hope he is abundantly blessed and that their other servers are as amazing as he was. We will 100% be back. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the atmosphere was calm. Like really, Jeb, I hope all the good things happen to you and we will be back and request you as our server. Great job, O'Malleys ❤️“

“1st time...won't be the last🕺🎊👍“

“Came in this morning for the first time, sat at the bar, and it was a good time! Great conversations and great food. Every plate that came out of the kitchen looked primo, and the taste was there too! Might be my new breakfast spot!“

“Have eaten here on multiple occasions. Usually breakfast, but occasionally lunch as well. Have never had a bad meal or bad service.“

“Two friends and myself eat at Deb's weekly and like everything about it. Even Abby!!!! Great food and prices and it s a special place like very few out there.“

“I haven't been here in a few years. our burgers were great. we will be back soon for the wonderfully priced fish dinners“

“Stopped off otw home on a whim! Definitely a happy accident. Brunch buffet was on point with fresh omelet/waffle station. Every item I tried was flavorful and well presented. Not always the case with a buffet! Price point was very reasonable for the selection and quality of food. Very friendly staff, even in the midst of a large private party making their way through as well. My only disappointment l was their choice of bloody mary mix. Would definitely stop again when in the area.“

“Outdoor dining, fast waitress, and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in my grilled cheese. Not what I expected. Bread was so HARD. Definitely not worth over $17. Mac and cheese had a really great crust and my boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork though!“

“I’m really looking forward to see how Johnathon and Lexi continue to move STIX forward. We went for Mother’s Day brunch and the idea and attitudes behind all of the staff, including Peyton and Rocco, made the meal. This event was a learning curve for everyone involved but the food and drinks were incredible. Looking forward to going back. Get me a pool! 😉 ❤️“

“We haven’t been to The Fed in a long time! Like 2 years, we always celebrate our birthdays or Anniversaries ❤️ always a good time there. Last night we went there on a whim and Andrew Schneider was amazing. From the minute, he greeted us at the table it was top-notch throughout the whole meal. We’ll definitely be back. We definitely miss the vibe. Thank you Andrew(Drew) for an incredible experience and service. And of course, the food was fantastic!“

“Amazing dinner on a whim on our way home from Detroit. Everything (service, atmosphere, food, prices) was better than we could have hoped for. We will go out of our way to eat here again. Thanks for a great experience!“

“Hands down best breakfast around!“

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about 15th Street Catering! From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. With a wedding of 240 guests, we knew there were a lot of moving parts, but their staff handled everything with such professionalism, organization, and care. They were truly on top of everything!

The service was outstanding, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely incredible. We had SO many guests come up to us throughout the night raving about the food and telling us how delicious everything was. As the parents of the bride, that meant so much to us because we wanted our guests to have an amazing experience—and 15th Street Catering definitely delivered!

And we have to mention the late-night French fry and tater tot bar… what a HIT! It was such a fun addition and our guests absolutely loved it!

From the quality of the food to the incredible service and the way they handled a 240-person wedding so seamlessly, we were beyond impressed. We would highly recommend 15th Street Catering to anyone looking for a caterer who will go above and beyond to make their event special.

Thank you, 15th Street Catering, for helping make our daughter’s wedding such an incredible and memorable night! You were absolutely amazing! ❤“

“I've lived here for 10 years now, and the Boat Bar has been a great place to feel welcome, let loose with great music and great people. also a great job too. the family here treat you like family as well. even outside the bar. Thank you to the Hagar family and most wonderful staff. my nephew thanks you as well.“

“Awesome every time!! Portions are large and the Staff is very friendly.“

“The Orion Grill has become a positive addition to our neighborhood. The. chefs are far above other places near us. There is no place better for miles around for breakfast. Outdoor eating is a treat. The wait staff is professional. We plan to take friends to dinner tonight and know everyone will enjoy dinner.“

“Great food, I love their fish tacos, though aren't fish tacos shaped like fish? The bread sure has a lot of poppy seeds on them, maybe too much since most ended up on the table instead of being eaten. It is nice there are crayons you can use to draw on the paper table sheet.“

“They have awesome service and the food great, they have entertainment every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights“

“We have been here a few times and it's always good. Service is decent, food is hot and decent. The place always seems to have a few tables, but never overly busy of the times we have been here. I ordered my burger medium rare, and it was well done, but it was hot and didnt sit in the window for a long time. It was seasoned well and was still nice and juicy. The girlfriend got a chicken quesadilla and really enjoyed it. The garnish was a little odd being rough chopped salad lettuce and diced tomatoes, but the quesadilla was really good. We got potato skins for an appetizer and it was decent, just basic sysco frozen potato skins tho. Nothing is over the top delicious, but nothing is horrible either. Just, decent bar food. Def check this place out, but dont expect a 5 star meal either.“

“First time visiting Ignite Tavern and I went because they were hosting a trivia night. Food was excellent and when I asked our waiter, Dave, what he'd recommend he gave me plenty of options to choose from. Then when I asked about the soup he provided me a sample taste and it was so good I ordered a bowl. We were there for about 2 hours and Dave kept coming by to check on us and top off our waters. I will definitely be back again for both trivia and the good food and service.“

“We’ve been here five times now, and it never disappoints-some of the best food we’ve had! The staff are always incredibly friendly, and it’s become one of our favorite breakfast spots. Honestly, it’s a shame it took us so long to discover this gem. Oh and the pulled pork is phenomenal.“

“Had a fun time here. The band was great, made some new friends. I will be back!“

“Miles was the absolute best!!! I had the Tavern Club it was delicious, but the bacon wasn't. It was flimsy and undercooked.“

“great food, great service, clean and affordable“

“It was so good we had to go twice in one weekend. Great food! We had an array: Mushroom Swiss Burger, Greek Salad, Chicken tenders, Mozzarella Sticks, Coconut Shrimp and Potato Skins. All of it was delicious. We were lucky enough to have the same awesome server both nights. Shout out to Hannah for being amazing! The view is incredible and the atmosphere is comfortable. Highly recommend!“

“Best food I've had at a restaurant in a long time 💯. They actually put love into their food and you can tell by their creations they take pride in their work!!! so worth it!!“

“A very comfortable place with very good food and service! I love the Prime Rib on Friday and Saturday night with the Bourbon Glazed Salmon being a close second. One of the best French Onion soup bowls if you like the cheese melted over the bowl. (which I do!)“

“I ordered on their website and did curbside pick up. It was ready quick. I checked everything before driving away, they forgot a fry so I called and told them. The girl on the phone was very nice and had someone bring out a fry within a minute!“

“I DIDN’T EAT HERE! But the customer service is amazing. I broke down there yesterday after getting a flat on 75. The manager and dishwasher helped me change my tired 😭. They are ANGELS 😇 Will actually visit soon“

“Awesome food, great atmosphere. Dominic is the best bartender ever, he’s so friendly and seems like an all around great guy.“

“Great food and great service ! Waitress was so kind to my kids also! 🩷 will be back !!!“

“I stopped in Monday on my way back from up north. First time here. I wanted to go back the next day. I wasn’t a fan of the queso but I’m not a huge cheese guy but I typically like queso. The salsa’s were very good. I mixed them and they were even better. Steak tacos were so good. Rice was good, but didn’t seem authentic. Cheap food, I will be back!!“
