50 Best American Restaurants near Oxford

“They are the absolute best!“

“Fantastic staff and food! We love going to Victorias!“

“Kids personal pizza with house made dough and sweet-savory sauce. Other kid got the fish & chips; delivered crisp, generous pieces that vanished fast. Wife’s chicken pasta was a tangy and good portion. My cheeseburger on its signature oddly flat in-house bun tasted great. Overall good food, waitress was young, shy, and definitely new but did a good job.“

“Great service and great food. The specials are always creative and interesting. Atmosphere is super casual. On the bar side there are plenty of huge screens, but there is also a dining room side that doesn't have all of the distractions if that's what you're looking for. Prices are very reasonable and portions are large.“

“something was forgotten in my order, I called and your manager corrected it quickly! He is great and went above and beyond!“

“I was there on Sunday and my food was delicious and my waitress Dawn was very professional very nice "hard to find now a days"... I definitely recommend this restaurant I will be back again!“

“Great meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

“We’ve always had good food and service any time we’ve been here. It’s exactly what you’d expect. But today there was a server(not even ours) who went out of her way to make my young sons(2&4) feel special. With a random act of kindness. When I told my son that I didn’t have any cash for the duck claw machine, she overheard and had pulled a pair of singles out of her book for my sons to “win” a duck. I didn’t accept it, because we have too many toys as is, and my wife generally keeps a little cash(which my son begged from her). I didn’t her name, but I hope her manager sees this. She is a lovely young woman 5ft(ish) with medium brown hair in 2 long braids.“

“Food: 4.5/5 (Food is on point!)
(Great service!)
(Great and comfortable environment!)

In the Detroit area, all you hear about is the great Coney Island Dog! There's nothing like a great hot dog in a steamed bun, with chili, yellow mustard, and raw onions. Stopped in at Leo's Coney Island and was impressed with the amazing diner, service and food. Located in Oxford, Michigan, this restaurant has directly created a tastebud in me for Coney Dogs, and I'm looking forward to trying other menu items.

The food is good! I got the two hotdogs with fries and drink special and the price was not bad. Loved the beanless chili and bold mustard taste as I enjoyed the Coney Dogs. Fries were great, and I enjoyed every bite. Great filling meal!

The service is great! Great spirit and vibe among the staff, great comfortable space, and they served well, with fast service. Great service!

The atmosphere is comfortable and clean! There is a diner vibe with a full menu of lovely eats. Very welcoming environment for all.

Free parking lot. Wheelchair accessible parking and seating. Great indoor seating that's great for both casual dining and social gatherings. Price point is $10-20 per person.“

“1st time...won't be the last🕺🎊👍“

“Great people, great food, and a great value. We really appreciate Mark and the food he makes. His growing community of culinary partners truly enriches the food scene in Southwest Michigan. Our family can't wait to see what they come up with next at The Flavor Lab MI!“

“we celebrated our anniversary today and our server was Melissa and she went out of her way to make our special day one to remember. She was so attentive and told us some history that we didn't know. An outstanding server. Kudos to the chef who cooked my steak to perfection along with great veggies/baked potato. My wife very much enjoyed the pot roast dinner. thanks again staff for a great meal.“

“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!“

“Such a wonderful place, great vibe, delicious food and sitting outside is the ultimate experience, overlooking the river! Absolutely loved it so much, I went two days in a row! The hamburger and fries I had yesterday were so tasty! Today, I had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and fries! Sauce on the side. Brit was my server and she was phenomenal. I will definitely be going again.

Parking lot is small, so just go around the corner and park in the free parking lot and find your way through the parking lot to Main Street or go through the trail system. Afterwards, take a beautiful walk along Riverwalk.“

“We went to Bitter Tom’s for my birthday last night. Not only were the food & drinks amazing-especially the feta spinach dip. But the service was PHENOMENAL. Our waiter was Joe, he even joined us in eating the birthday cake we brought! And another waitress, Alyssa, was so friendly & helpful with my cake. She put it in the cooler, got candles for me, lit them, cut the cake, & helped box it back up. All without being asked or being our server. I was astounded. Perfect experience & i could not recommend more!“

“Awesome restaurant great food and the owner is a great man.“

“Absolutely delicious food. Just look at the layering on this Ruben and this crispy bread! So delicious!!!“

“Great food and service! We 💜 going to Mel’s. Thanks Jovona for making it so special!“

“This was my first time trying The Coney Express and I can’t wait to go back. I randomly pulled in when I had a craving for a coney before grocery shopping. The woman that served me was wonderful and I can’t believe how fast and fresh it was. The hotdog has the crunchy casing that I love and the chili is good. I’m not exaggerating when I say that these might be the best fries I’ve ever had. The prices are very reasonable and I’d choose this over a chain drive-thru any day.

GO HERE.“

“A big shout out to Fino’s for hosting our group of about 40 to enjoy a funeral luncheon on Sat Aug 2. The service was great, the staff were very accommodating, patient and very helpful. We all enjoyed our food. We were very pleased. Thank you Maria, waitstaff and kitchen staff. An apology to the other patrons that were in the restaurant, we were loud.“

“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.

“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.“

“Food was good. Service was great. Not too busy for a Sunday evening. Atmosphere was calm and quiet. Steak was cooked to perfection and was seasoned well. Appetizers were also good. Don’t drink so not sure in that regard. Prices weren’t bad. I’d go back and try other dishes. Ty 👍✌“

“Great Atmosphere. Wait staff is always very friendly TV's everywhere great place to watch any event Good selection of tap and bottle drinks Ice cold beers Daily food specials big dining room & bar“

“Went there for a bridal shower. The catered food was delicious. Love the room off to the side. It’s spacious and great decor. Bathrooms were clean. Only walked through the main bar restaurant, but it looked nice. If I lived closer, it would definitely be a place that I wanted to go to again.“

“Great food, drinks, fast and friendly service!“

“Abdul, Abdul what a waiter, super polite and kind. Always has a shining smile on his face while helping you out. He is the best waiter ever, will for sure be back. Great food and all in all great experience.“

“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.“

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