“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.“

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

“My family and I have been going to Orion Grill since it's opening (even when the name was still Iris Cafe). We've met the owners, Sofia and Martin, and they are very friendly and welcoming. I recommend this restaurant for sure!“

“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!“

“My go to spot for a one stop shop of all kinds of delicious food options! They have something for everyone, everything is fresh and like home cooked meals! Clean friendly environment! Family owned and operated! They treat you like family! French cut pork chop are top notch! Never had a bad meal here, would Recommend to all friends and family!“

“Very friendly waitress, good food!“

“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.“

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

“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❤️“

“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 had a great dinner at Little Daddy’s on Woodward. Very pleasant atmosphere. Our waitress Dawn was great and we didn’t have to wait. We will definitely be back.“

“Chrissy was a wonderful and well trained waitress. Nick’s cooking ability to make the most delicious breakfast was the crowning touch. Every bite of the breakfastspecial was the best in southeastern Michigan. The money spent on this establishment is not the atmosphere but the excellent kitchen facility and the high quality of food. No NOT overlook the hidden gem In Southfield. It is too good to pass up!“

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

“Food is usually good, atmosphere is well kept + cleanly from appearance. Sometimes seems a bit short staffed- especially when calling to order a carry out, often feels rushed upon speaking with person taking order. I grab a carry out every so often from here.“
