New American Restaurants near Pontiac, MI

“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 ⭐️“

“Had not been here for a salad in a long time. Their Chef Salad was just as good or better than I remembered. Lots of fresh tasty vegetables, meats cheese. Freshly baked Pita Bread and Salad Dressing was just right! Waitress was wonderful! Very helpful. Happy with the price and prompt service. Highly recommend!! I will be returning a lot more regularly.“

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

“My husband got home late from work and it was after 8pm so he said let's try this place. For never trying this place until now. Everything was pretty delicious. I think the BLT could of used a little more mayo on it. But otherwise it was good. Very filling. We ordered the fried mushrooms...omg they were so good!!!! I will definitely be getting those again!!!! My 6 yr old is very picky and she ate all the chicken wings she got!! So that's a win win! Great job!!! Thank you!!!“

“I had an outstanding meal at Seasons 52! The service was wonderful—our server was attentive and friendly from start to finish.
The highlight was the pork dish, hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with amazing flavor. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious.
Highly recommend Seasons 52 for a fantastic dining experience.“

“We had a team building and dinner event for 14 colleagues at the Hub Stadium Auburn Hills. We had a great time. The buffet food was great, our server John was awesome, and the games were a lot of fun. Gracee helped me plan this event, she was very knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating. Great staff and location!“

“Let me just say I didn't actually go in but I placed a special order over the phone. I spoke with Adrienne and it was a great experience. She did a wonderful job, I will absolutely be going in person now.“

“Loved the food it was amazing especially my dessert but the thing the I enjoyed the most about Terra was the service! I had Bella as my server and she was absolutely amazing and had a great personality that all servers should have. Will be coming back soon for another great experience!“

“Love this restaurant! We travel from Windsor Ontario to eat here because of the great food and drink. However the best part of Troy Yard House is the staff. Namely Sara who works the bar. She is simply amazing. I marvel at how she commands the bar yet encages with each of her customers. We have been here several times and attend based on Sar's schedule. We truly appreciate her as well the other staff who make this a GREAT place to be!“

“We came here for our anniversary and we will definitely be going back! The service was amazing, our waiter was very friendly and helpful. The food was so good, I got salmon and ordered a second one to go, my husband ordered steak and a lobster tail and he was very pleased. We sat outside and ate and it wasn't too noisy or too much going on. Great experience, great service and great food, the bill wasn't outrageous either. We both agreed that this is a place that's worth visiting often. I highly recommend going there if you haven't already been.“

“Prime 29 never disappoints! The wine dinner was exceptional—every course was thoughtfully prepared and paired perfectly. The hospitality was outstanding from start to finish, and the entire staff made for a memorable evening. A special thank you to the General Manager for providing such a welcoming experience and ensuring everything ran flawlessly. Looking forward to the next event!“

“Birthday celebration with life long friends was perfect. Delicious food, drinks, great service, with a cozy ambience. I give Oakland Kitchen & Bar a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The Stoney River Steakhouse and Grill was amazing. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The vibes were upscale and elegant. Each table had a real candle lit on it. The food was delicious. The egg rolls and Calamari are good.

I ordered a medium Coffee Cured Filet Mignon with Broccoli. My husband ordered the shrimp and scallops potatoes. The son ordered the Steak Frites with Fries very flavorful. My son said it was the best steak he every had. My mom ordered the bone in Cowboy cut Ribeye.

The house bread is so delicious. They put lots of love and attention to the details of every bite. I highly recommend Stoney River for a nice outing for a date or family.“

“My wife and Enjoy the customer service every time I hate I don’t remember our waitress name she was awesome, she knew the menu, she came over to us every time on time, she was great! This is my wife’s favorite she love the Ribeyes well done, Ocean Prime never miss with her stakes. That olive oil truffle popcorn should Be sold in stores, I never had popcorn this good ever and it’s to live for!!!“

“Only been there twice. Was there with a big family Christmas Gathering and everyone was very pleased with their food. That time, and the last time I went there, I got the coconut chicken because you can’t get that anywhere else. Phenomenal! Fresh green beans and coconut. Jasmine rice was excellent side dish to their encrusted coconut chicken. Service was great both times. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean. Going back again.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“An attentive and friendly staff, premium cocktails, great food and a lovely atmosphere can all be found at The Birmingham Pub!“

“Hands down our new favorite restaurant. Our server Chris made it feel just like dinner at a friends!“

“Best liquor store in Michigan! An excellent variety, good prices, kitchen food is amazing, and the staff are the most professional and kind. Always feel like family when I make my purchases from Alan D liquor store!“

“Best restaurant around with the great food! Breakfast is my favorite there!“

“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!“

“Great drinks and night scene. Had a lot of fun their last night.“

“Phenomenal food. Was looking for a restaurant and so glad I lucked out choosing this one. When I arrived immediately received a large loaf of bread with the table. The flounder, coconut milk rice, and Granada were 10/10. Don't get me started on the desserts, the butter cake was 11/10 and the cobbler just as outstanding. Stuff mushroom, just another home run. The staff were attentive with great recommendations. Chamomile tea paired well with all of this. The pizza was also some of the best pizza I ever had. I don't often come to this area but I will be making the drive for this place. Highly recommended. Nice place, with an outdoor dining area. This place is perfect for dating. Prices were surprisedly less than I would expect for such amazing food.“

“We had 29 seniors eat here on Saturday, May 4th. The food was delicious and served fast! Gabby was our server. She was accomodating and very cordial. I highly recommend this restaurant and will return the next time we are in the area. Thanks for great service!“

“you go there you're family...“

“Nice Staff. Michelle and Erica and Gary were great. definitely would recommend classic Lanes“

“Great Place. My complaint. NO BLUE CHEESE DRESSING. I Had Chicken Strawberry Salad once a week. Every now and then since they quit serving Bleu cheese. Never after today when We asked the server who to address our concerns to, 2 servers pointed to the owner who picked up our plates and pretended he couldn't talk English. RUDE“

“Great good… friendly, helpful staff!“

“Was not disappointed. Food was good.“

“Stopped into Alberts today for a burger an fries. Great food! Excellent and friendly service, and a decent price. What more could you ask for! Stop by when you are in Auburn Hills. You can even eat inside unlike some of the other local places!“

“CK Diggs is an absolute gem near downtown Rochester! The food was amazing — everything we ordered was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We tried the boneless wings, nachos, quesadillas, Reuben sandwich, Southwest pasta, Cajun steak strips, pretzel bites, and Beijing beef — and every single dish was delicious.

The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and fast. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual night out or a relaxed dinner with friends.

The Cookie Monster and carrot was was beyond delicious.

If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere close to downtown, CK Diggs is definitely worth checking out!“

“This comes from a chance experience with this location. Our son wanted chicken for dinner, and we made a quick decision to try this location. The five star rating is based primarily on the young man who was our cashier. His customer service was exemplary of what you want from customer facing employees. He was incredibly cordial and welcoming, informative and engaging. I sincerely hope that he is being groomed for management. The food was good for casual dining. The tenders over the fusion fries were very tender and tasty. The fries were perfectly crispy. Even while cleaning up our area and planning to leave, the young man was simply a joy. We continued to talk about his great service during our drive home. It's certainly made our day.“

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

“The food was FANTASTIC!! We had completely different food choices and each offering was absolutely amazing. Service was great and Eddie treated us like royalty! Highly recommend!“

“They have a private room/garden which was absolutely perfect for my market/garden themed bridal shower. The staff and food were both absolutely top-tier. Attentive, thoughtful, and helpful. The venue had more linen options than I expected and it added an extra special touch. The space was fun to transform but unique enough that it doesn't need much. The deposit and minimum spending was reasonable.“

“Always a favorite restaurant for truly delicious (and often more uniquely prepared) food. The butternut squash pasta feature was fantastic, the service was perfectly attentive yet laid back, and the general vibes of the restaurant were relaxing yet elegant. Will return as always.“

“Always spot on!! The house bread and its sauces, amazing!! And had the risotto with shrimp, mushrooms, spinach and cheese. Prefect!! Server was great. You are on our list♥️“

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

“Over 5 stars recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The atmosphere, staff, and food was all phenomenal at Whiskey Rae's! The smell, taste and love in the food. It's gourmet homemade food with a twist 🤌 Much respect and appreciation for the Chef Drew. Excellent hospitality and service from our down to earth server Isla!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Everyone here is amazing 10/10 go go go!“

“My daughter and I enjoyed a Mothers Day lunch here together. The food was fresh and tasty. We shared a strawberry salad and hamburger. Kitchen kindly split the entrees for us in back. Nice wine offerings and mimosas. Popovers came out fresh from the oven served with their strawberry butter- yummy!“

“I recently hosted my second special event at the Somerset Inn, and once again, it was absolutely fabulous! I held my daughter’s wedding shower here two years ago, and just celebrated my other daughter’s baby shower last weekend. Both events were everything I hoped for and more. The food was incredible, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The buffet was unique and impressed all of our guests. The room setup was perfect, elegant, comfortable, and easy to decorate, which really allowed me to create the look and feel I wanted. Pam, our head server, provided excellent service with such warmth and professionalism. Dave, the manager, checked in several times to make sure everything ran smoothly, and Carrie, my banquet and catering manager was amazing to work with, attentive, organized, and so accommodating. From the ambience to the service to the food, everything was spectacular. I highly recommend the Somerset Inn for any type of event, they truly make every celebration feel special.“

“My wife and I stopped in for lunch yesterday and it was a great experience.

Our server, Tobin, was one of the best servers we’ve had in a long time. His hospitality and genuine care throughout our meal really stood out.

Not only was the service awesome, but the food was as well. We’ll definitely be back.
I highly recommend giving it a try.“
