“Great, fun little place. Very nice inside very clean bathrooms. The waitress was absolutely a delight and very welcoming. Good food for actually a really decent price. I ended up getting a hamburger and enjoyed it. It was made very delicately and was very presentable. The presentation of the hamburger was really beautiful bruschetta. If we’re ever in the Pontiac area, this definitely will be a place that we would get another bite to eat.“

“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. The wait staff is professional. We plan to take friends to dinner tonight and know everyone will enjoy dinner.“

“Just picked up a carry out this morning, everything was perfect and the food was everything we wanted. Really hit the spot, definitely recommend!!!“

“Very friendly waitress, good food!“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We've had many good personal dining experiences with the Dixie Diner, so when we needed 150 piece chicken order for Mother's Day, and I knew they had chicken "buckets" on the menu, I gave them a call. We had a dilemma, though. Several of the mothers wanted non-breaded chicken, rather than the amazing broasted chicken Dixie Diner is known for (if you haven't tried it yet, it's a must do!). Long story short, Dixie Diner agreed to make 50 pieces of baked chicken - and it's not even on the menu! The ladies were blown away. We got so many compliments on it, I had to try it personally. It was absolutely delicious! Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked! Calling it amazing doesn't do it justice. HIGHEST compliments to the chef! On top of that, the service was top notch. The waitress cheerfully helped me carry five trays of piping hot chicken clear to the opposite side of the parking lot without a single complaint, and still smiling when we got there. I wish I would have gotten her name so I could thank her personally. Needless to say, this is our new go-to for our special events! Thank you SO MUCH, Dixie Diner, for making all of our Mothers feel so special. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“First time diner and it was a great experience. The Huevos Rancheros was fantastic. It had so many good ingredients, but the best was fresh Chorizo. You could be in Mexican Town. Also, the homemade chicken soup is just like Mom used to make. Staff was friendly and attentive. I will be back.“

“My husband had breakfast this morning and accidentally dropped a $100 bill which he didn’t notice till late this afternoon. We decided to get a salad from there for dinner and he went inside and asked if they found his $ and they did!!!! Totally made his day! These are good people at the Green Apple and we will continue to get food from here. Aside from that the barbecued chicken salad is very good! Thank you Green Apple employees❤️“

“I have come to this restaurant off and on for years. We have always liked the food and the staff treats us like family.“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem. The waitstaff is very friendly and accommodating. There are many menu options as well as a specials board. I love the garden omelette.“

“We were a large party of 7. Our server was very patient and accommodating with our various requests. Everyone enjoyed their food. I ordered the Cod with lemon butter sauce and it was delicious! As were the sides of roasted potatoes and green beans. I would definitely go back again!“

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

“Beautiful family restaurant with a very friendly staff. My favorite place 💞“
