“Humberto and his family are amazing. The food is DELICIOUS!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND”

“We just had dinner here before going across the street to a concert. The food was excellent! It came out quickly and our server, Kyra, was so friendly, supper attentive and very welcoming! We will be back!!”

“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 ⭐️”

“If you’re into Mexican food then this is the place for you . Absolutely amazing food for a more than fair price all the lady’s in Sheila’s are very nice and I couldn’t recommend going more than.my only complaint is that I only get to go on my lunch break. Too bad I didn’t live closer.”

“I have been going there since before I could walk. This is the gold standard for coneys as far as I'm concerned. I am sad that you can't dine in these days, but I'm happy to get it to go. Speaking of, the coneys travel very well. Wrapped in wax paper! So easy to reheat if you've got a long way to go. Family owned, family visited. Three generations of my family have gone there, should I have a little one we'll make it four!

Best coney in the state!”

“I have been going to Bob's Super Chief since the 70s when it was on Telegraph at Dixie Highway. Best footlong coneys I've ever had. Their Tandem is the best. Will be making a 3 hour trip again soon.”

“My fiance and I came here for lunch and we were blown away by the food and service. Everything had incredible flavor. Service was tip top. This is a hidden gem. 💎”

“15/10!! Their consistency and portions are amazing. This restaurant has yet to disappoint. Tried the sunrise country skillet for the first time today and it’s my new favorite. Very clean restaurant and the most pleasant staff!”

“Great food, wonderful folks”

“Best natural grande at the Pontiac location go there you'll enjoy”

“Best Thai food in the area. Been going for around two decades”

“Best pizza around. Having some right now! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT 🍕❣️❣️”

“Came here for dinner with my sisters. We all enjoyed our meals and our waitress and all staff we encountered were amazing.”

“I miss your food! I hope our paths cross again soon. stay safe!”

“Fast friendly service. Great food”

“If you show up to buy your ticket in person they will rip you off. If a show is $20 online with an $8 fee why would you charge me $32 at the door? Your formula doesn’t make sense. Charge the ticket price at the door and bypass the online fee structure? No charge more than the ticket with fees at the door? Yes. Its a practice that I hate”

“The food was great here!”

“Our waitress was very helpful she brought over out breakfast of Chorizo con Juevos (awesome)and Eggs not your typical greasy chorizo it was the most flavorful and no grease residue or aftertaste that usually stays with you all day. Eggs Rachancheros / green sauce that were cooked perfect. As for the atmosphere it's a Bar , Mexican rough apparently the fights are mostly in the men's bathroom.. beat up..🤠 I will return for a different dish to try out next time. Enjoy!”

“Amazing experience. Our new place & it's super cozy❤❤❤”

“Ordered from this place for the first time today. Very impressed! I got the 10 piece shrimp with fries and a Mountain Dew! The shrimp were big, juicy and succulent! The fries were very tasty too! Portions were perfect as well! Will be back!”

“Oh yeah baby this the spot the only spot”

“Decent Meal with a Side of Spooky Decor

Stopped by El Toro Bar & Grill in Pontiac, MI, and overall had a pretty good experience. The service was fine—nothing exceptional, but attentive enough. I ordered a meal that came with generous portions, which was definitely a plus. You won’t leave hungry.

The atmosphere is colorful and lively, though I have to admit the Day of the Dead skulls in the decor caught me off guard. They’re artistically done, but something about them felt a little creepy to me—not quite the vibe I expected when sitting down to eat. Might just be personal taste.

All in all, it was an okay visit with solid food and a festive setting. Worth checking out if you're in the area and curious.”

“Deliciosa comida muy familiar el restaurant!!!”

“I’ve only had Happy’s twice and both from this location. Once delivered and once picked up. The food was done before the time promised, hot, and scrumptious. And it was a busy Friday night!”

“I swear by this place, I go here for their cheese sticks, they are better than any restaurant I’ve ever been too honestly and Evan is such a nice and professional employee. Would recommend.”

“Need to get the 🎤 microphone system fixed.
Every time I order food and get to the window she say she didn't hear me order something. It happened 3 times.”

“The new cornbeef eggroll was flavorful. Only thing it needed was more cheese and add cabbage. Although we feel the price ($12.99) is a bit much.

The Perry MLK Medical Crew 😁”

“everything was amazing from the cocktails to the bugers, fries and Korean chicken sandwich!”

“Food is excellent, the salsa bar unique many choice's Service is fast and friendly , Decor inside is picture worthy old western style saddles and cowboy hats really nice !!!”

“I'm from upstate NY and was in the area for work training, looking for a good lunch spot. Within 2 steps in the front door, I knew I was in the right place. It was very clear that this is where the neighborhood locals eat. My coworker and I were quickly greeted by one of their great employees and our order was taken at lightning ⚡ speed. I've been here now on 4 different occasions with months in between and every time, I swear it's the best damn bacon cheeseburger I've ever had every single time. Not to mention the addictive and delicious mountain of fries served with it. I wouldn't change a thing about this place, and I make sure to stop if I'm ever in the area!
Sidenote - I won't even tell anybody at my training the name of it or where it is because I don't want my favorite lunch spot to get too blown up. IYKYK??”

“Classic coney island flavor
they serve breakfast all day
Good food fast service
they even keep your coffee hot and fresh!
Fair prices too. Keeps your wallet happy”

“We had a staff luncheon for our school and Jason was so easy to work with. The customer service was top notch as he tried to ensure we got everything we would need for our staff. On the day of our catering everything was ready on time and just as ordered. Food was delicious and our staff was very satisfied. Highly recommend! Thank you!”

“It's a food truck in a parking lot near Green Tavern beer garden an a Save a Lot. Good fresh food at a fair price. If I'm this way again it's on. If you find yourself that way check them out.”

“super recomendado buena comida”

“very friendly service. always great food and get you thee best slushie. amazing gem right here😍”

“Such a wonderful spot to dine. The service was attentive and welcoming, and every dish served was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. It turned out to be a truly enjoyable experience from start to finish.”

“food is amazing. Such a variety.”

“best icecream in Pontiac!”

“I accidentally stumbled on Ray's and tried the #3 Ray's special. I was very pleased with the portions and the price. The fish was well cooked and seasoned, the chicken was great with nice sized tasty shrimp. Everything was clean and the cashier was nice. I've been searching for a good place like this to eat at and I am glad that I found Ray's and I will be back.”

“I have enjoyed eating there for many years and would recommend it to all my friends. I hope they open for inside dinning soon.”

“The taste is awesome 😍 love to eat”

“This restaurant is run by an old Chinese couple.
The large quantity of food is very good for the price.
They only accept cash.
It’s kind of hidden away so you need to be looking for it to find it.
No dining inside (only a few chairs, no tables). Very fast to cook food, so order, take it and go.”

“Truly a Hidden Gem! Food is Delecious! I've lived here in Pontiac for 9 years and today is my first time knowing about this place. I will Definatly be ordering from here again. My Only issue is I made a order and instead of giving me a option too choose something different, they automatically email me they did'nt have it and automatically refunded my money back on my card which caused me too have too make a whole extra order which meant I had too pay a additional delivery and tax fee around $11 dollars, aside from the order that was already paid for. So I end up paying a extra $11 dollars for my two orders that were delvered together.”

“The service was quick and efficient, and the staff ensured everything was prepared exactly as ordered. The restaurant was spotless, well-maintained, and offered a comfortable dining environment. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were fair for the quality of food and service provided.

Overall, I had a fantastic dining experience. The delicious food, excellent customer service, and pleasant atmosphere exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this burger restaurant to anyone looking for great-tasting burgers and a memorable dining experience. I will definitely be returning again soon.”

“This is an older restaurant that has a mom and pop diner atmosphere, with prices that are very affordable. They offer several daily breakfast specials. Unfortunately, the first table we sat at had a footprint on the table, so we moved to a different table then to top it all off my coffee cup was less than perfectly clean. Other than that, the food was pretty good.”

“Me and my husband been going to this truck for a little over a year and all I can say is really love the food here!! There are only one thing I wish they would change… The girls that work there are always so nice and polite when we go they always make us feel welcomed and for sure listened to, but the little boy on the other hand he is really something else I believe he is the owners son he can be rude and sometimes has an attitude. Also we do notice that when we order with him it always a bit more $$ than usual. Not sure why but we trying going when we see that one of the girls are there. But other than that no problems at all love and really recommend this place!!! 😉”

“I was having issues with low iron, and that beet juice kept me going. I love the watermelon it was so refreshing on a hot summer day. Also the mean green will get you right and cleanse that colon.”

“Best soft serve in the city. Come check them out.”

“When I was little I used to go in here with my papaw gene ball we live on cloverlawn rd he used to order me Shirley Temples and sit there and pretend I was a big girl having a drink 🍸 its been many many years since been here still looks the same to me the last I was there was back in 1986 they were good people and still are from what I hear I have yet to return there and I shall before I die just to see if they still serve that wonderful Shirley temple”

“I'm on a fixed income, so "fast food" is only an occasional treat for me. I found out about Shawarma Spot through a friend, and it has become my favorite little take-out restaurant. Their portions are quite generous, and you have several options for sauces and toppings. I order the Beef Shawarma, and at $8, I get two delicious meals for the price of one! (Admittedly, as a Senior, I have a small appetite.) Staff is always friendly, and they even put my "sauce on the side", so it still tastes fresh for my leftovers. I've frequently seen work crews there ordering Shawarma's multiple chicken wing deals. Give them a try!”

“Bob and Elmer's it's probably one of the safest bars in Potiac. I am a single female, 5 ft 2 and everybody made sure,I was safe and they even made sure that I made it home,again.
I have been coming to this bar for 40 years,nobody knows me,
It has always ben
AWESOME”

“This place has great food!! it's definitely a neighborhood bar so if you're from the neighborhood you'll be comfortable there!! Go see my girl Tiffany she's got you!! Owner is super nice let's the party get fun but not out of control...I'll be back”

“I like the store and can find what I need. Last time I was there several people wanting money right outside the door. Felt a little frightened by them. Could clean the cart and store up.”

“I am so much in love with this Cafe I go out of my way to visit one of my favorite places downtown Pontiac if you have not been you need to go 😁😉😎”

“we have love been going to them since they 1st came to pontiac.they are fast and so good.. my favorite is the consume with the meat in it omgggg so good”

“Came here for a date night and it absolutely delivered. The atmosphere is lovely — quiet enough to actually talk, lively enough to feel like a proper occasion. We were seated promptly at a nice table and looked after by a server who was warm, witty, and clearly knew her stuff. The food was excellent across both courses, with portions that meant we didn't have to ration ourselves. We shared a dessert at the end because we couldn't resist. Bill was fair for the quality of the whole experience. Earned myself some serious points with this one. Already booking it again for our anniversary.”

“The food is always so good, especially on day shift. I love love the grilled chicken pitas and breakfast sandwiches. Every time I pick up my order they serves are so professional and nice even when they are busy. I all always appreciate their good service and the food is so worth it”

“Best tacos I’ve ever had, literally! Had them one time at an event and had to hunt down the name of the place to get more. Great place, chill people, good vibes all around.”

“I've only been working in this area less than 2mo and I've come back here 6 times. These guys are incredible, and the food is so, so good. Love the salads, coneys and soups! Determined to try the whole menu!”

“So I grew up in Pontiac and now live in Romeo, we still come back several times a year to get Pizza Express bread sticks 😋 I think we're to 4 orders so we can share with neighbors.”

“My Hubby had some at a work party once and brought home some extra. It was Awesome! Not too close to home but it the go to for work parties now and I have him pick some up whenever he can.DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!y'all remember there's a lot of fast food franchises in gas stations!None of them taste as good a Jim's Krispy Chicken though ?”

“This place is fire I have no clue who made, this chicken but they know what there doing the last time I had this chicken it was juicy and bursted with flavor. The lemon pepper powder on the fries and chicken gives it a nice kick the ranch they can either provide you with or you ask for it gose bomb with this chicken I'd recommend this place 100% Goodluck. since this will knock you out with flavor!”

“This bar has no food.. You are however welcome to bring in any outside food or have it delivered..

For the people who don't understand- ordering a water and not paying for it doesn't make you a customer-It's not illegal to kick out somebody who is loitering.

This bar lets in plenty of people who need to warm up or use the bathroom. They're real easy to deal with as long as everybody is respectful of one another.

Ordering a water and taking up a seat in a bar that only makes money off of selling drinks and then wondering why you got asked to leave isnt ridiculous But maybe it's why you don't own a business yourself. 🧘‍♀️

Jukebox is usually going and the drinks are cheap cheap.

Monday through Sunday, Noon until 2:00 a.m.

Pretty simple hours.”

“I ❤️ Dunkin Donuts! Far better than Starbucks. And easier on your wallet.”

“Went to Pontiac location today always A1 the catfish and shrimp were to die for definitely our fave spot for fresh steaming delicious seafood everything else they have is bomb af to love love love🤟💯👌”

“Excellent and friendly service… food was great… highly recommend this location!!!”

“great store always happy with the service and always clean”

“We stopped for the first time after church to see why it was called Manhattan FISH and chicken. I remember having fried fish in New York and the memory lingers. My husband is from Louisiana and so I ordered both the cod and the catfish. Both delicious and my husband said it was the best he had tasted in a long time. Macaroni and cheese and the coleslaw were a nice addition to our Sunday dinner. We were wished a pleasant day and they said "see you next time" .... there will definitely be a next time.”

“I grow up here and it's the only place I go to for fish and chicken. They have really great food and prices aren't bad. Yes I do recommend the place to be more open minded when it comes to the LGBTQIA community. Especially because I have to defend my husband and the owner assumed he was a female and he's not.”

“Great place. For morning Treats before work, but you must go early in the morning! It's a good experience�”

“This is that hole-in-the-wall Chinese spot your grandpa used to rave about and it still is. Been here since the early 90s for a reason! The sear and smokiness on the fried rice I got was to perfection and it was the old g-ma that cooked it, very legit American Chinese cuisine”

“I Got up to the window in the drive through and I wanted to add a sandwich to my order and the manager told me I needed to go back around and get in line again even though there was nobody behind me in line. The cashier felt very uncomfortable having to tell me tha what her manager said. In any other fast food drive through?I have never been told I have to go back around.”

“I have enjoyed eating there for many years and would recommend it to all my friends. I hope they open for inside dinning soon.”

“Miss Rockets great food & friendly workers!”

“Tens all around! This Taco Bell is great. The food was very delicious and the staff are very kind. Thank you to manager Angelo! Or should I say “ GOAT” Greatest Of All Time!”

“Very clean. Nice staff. Love their onion rings. I eat there anytime.”

“Friendly crew. Very nice and polite. The chocolate frosty which I ordered was several minutes from ready. They offered vanilla, but I chose to wait. Wendy's might want to invest in either larger machines or 2 machines for each flavor so 1 is always ready.”

“My first time coming here in a long time and I decided to go to the drive-thru because I wanted to get a chocolate milkshake. But I was informed that they only had Carmel. Well when I went up to the drive-thru they couldn't find my order in the computer so the employee told the manager and the manager ended up giving me the shake on the house. Not only was I pleasantly surprised I didn't expect that but I ended up coming in the following couple days later and bought a burger and a shake. They made me a fan just by that simple polite gesture. Thanks guys.”

“The new cornbeef eggroll was flavorful. Only thing it needed was more cheese and add cabbage. Although we feel the price ($12.99) is a bit much.

“Left lunch at home. Needed something quick for my belly. Grabbed 2 old fashioned glazed donuts and hot water.
Friendly staff. Not too long of a wait on the inside at 6a.”

“la comida era muy delicioso gracias por todo”

“Best salted caramel cold brew and sweetest barista ever”

“Ordered a burger, brisket sandwich, and sausage. 10/10. Great flavor, the smoke is perfect and the bbq sauce brings it all together perfect. Can’t wait to try the loaded up Mac n Cheese next time around.”

“First time trying at this location. The chicken is just perfect,red beans and rice were on point even the biscuit was good!
service was good and the location seemed clean and well maintained. Definitely coming back for more!”

“Best chicken and fish I had in the state
Taste just like grandma cooking I couldn’t believe it great service and hard working employee very respectful and met the manager Sal very welcoming and helped me order for my first time and treated me five star and love the seasoning he recommended that boom sauce on the shrimp o.m.g never had nothing like that in my life wonder full combo”
