“I celebrated my birthday at the high bar over the weekend and had an excellent time! Although we only ordered drinks, the service was spectacular and the atmosphere was unlike any other restaurant. Beautiful presentation of our beverages as well! Would love to return for dinner sometime.“

“Ran into this place the day before the marathon. Sat at the bar and got recommendations on what to get from the staff. Everything was fantastic. We ended up with calamari, scallops, gnudi, and trilece for dessert. This place was one of the best parts of our trip and we're excited to return. The only thing better than your food is your staff.“

“Literally the best breakfast sammich I’ve consumed. I’ve had several attempts to recreate this at other diners & they ALL fail in comparison.“

“Wow, what an experience. This was truly fine and fun dining. Amazing food, incredible service and cool tunes!“

“Me and my sister ate lunch at Ford’s Garage in Dearborn. We ordered the Fried Chicken Comfort Bowl. This meal is amazing, and the price is right“

“We came to The Whitney for an early birthday dinner for my husband. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience there! The staff went above and beyond my expectations. The food was amazing and cost was much less than I would have expected for the caliber and presentation of our meals and dessert. For all of you paranormal afficionados, their Ghost Bar is a must. The owners of The Whitney have done so much to preserve this amazing estate in Detroit without any funding assistance from the government or grants. Please consider supporting them by being a patron the next time you are in Detroit.“

“To die for - delicious! Had the squash app with the mushroom dumplings and bone marrow. Hot damn - this was superb! I was by myself from out of town and a lovely group of girlfriends sat next to me and started a lovely discussion! Really enjoyed my time.“

“Very generous with the pork sliders. Will come back again.“

“Service was great. Waitress rocked ...Yesss“

“Latte and granola were both fabulous. The lemon zest and honey made the vanilla berry granola extra special. Wow. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The place is great! Food is pretty good, well presented and great taste, but the portions are very small for the price.
The service was excellent. Our server was great. Great atmosphere too. The only thing we didn't enjoy much was the fact that the music was way too loud for a restaurant. We could barely hear the person seating next to us.“

“Always a turn up when I come home!!!“

“Zeff’s is a respectable Coney Island. Most of our meals on a Sunday Brunch on Lions game day were on point. Coneys always good. Bacon pitas were fair. Chicken Swarma was not as tasty as preferred. Stick with the classics is our opinion. Will likely go again as it is near Sunday Church.

Vegetarian options: They’ve got few vegetarian items. Greek Salad is good. Remember, it’s a Coney Island.“

“Great service!! We shared small plates and entrees!“

“The food is amazing and the service was even better! Ask for Myka - - she’s sweet, had all the best info in the menu, and made the experience phenomenal!“

“Best liver and onions!! Breakfasts are great“

“This place is a gem .. so blessed to Have them in hamtramck. I hope they open on east Jefferson too ;)“

“Our server Emily was very attentive, warm and welcoming. She made us feel very comfortable. We highly recommend the rueben sandwich and THE STUFFED SQUASH! Hats off to the chef and Emily. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back.“

“The food is amazing. Esp the sweet chili wings. I had the "Say Less" drink. Raspberry, lemonade and d'usse. Strong but good. Shotgun shrimp was similar to boom boom but less saucy. Tasty! Service was the winner. Hostess was the best. attentive and kind. Friendly and fast service. Lots of parking and seating. Cool decor. Local art & reference. Def be back.“

“Great bloody’s -you won’t b disappointed“

“Best subs ever, very nice service, definitely reccomend.“

“If Katrell (Pineapple Daddy) wasn't here...I wouldn't make it a mandatory location. He makes sure my party is happy and that everything is everything. The food is excellent and the service is as well!“

“The Eagle Tavern is something special I feel . It definitely takes you back to a simpler time .. where the menu will consist of food that’s in season and readily available from the area. I.E roast pork (which I got and was amazing ) Fish , roasted chicken various root vegetables and nice homemade breads and desserts. Staff is dressed to period which dates around the 1850’s or so and are very welcoming and accommodating. You sit at tables with other families like a big dining hall. Though you can get a table for yourselves if you have a big enough party . We just had three in ours so we were sat with another party of three and it was nice to meet and eat with other people and hear their stories . They do have a kids menu it is limited though !! Chicken fingers , PB&J and Mac and cheese. My son got chicken fingers and it came with orange slice’s and roasted potato wedges. Overall we had a great experience and the atmosphere sights and sounds does kinda take you back to a simpler slower time which I enjoyed . Must visit if you plan on a trip to greenfield village . Expect to wait around a half hour or so. Not sure if that’s the average but it was pretty busy the day we went . Definitely will be going back if we go back to greenfield village.“

“Where to even begin!?! Wow 🤯 This was truly amazing 12/10 ⭐️ 💕 I ordered; Reg spaghetti with balls And Extra balls I didnt have to wait long, The lady was polite and nice and prompt. I ran to the car with the food bc it was a chilly day- Started snowing shortly after Overall- I ate it all So again 12/10 Loved the service, the food was impeccable, I am a bit of a spaghetti snob…. But seriously zero complaints The sauce to noods to ball ratio was spectacular I demolished the whole thing and ate all the balls too! Price point was superb considering this is a downtown establishment Highly recommend And its fun for the experience alone- Loved the little containers And basic bag with a stamp. I only wish they had some stickers- tbh i didnt ask so ill never know Anyway I wish i could get it again tonight lol 😂“

“Just had the wonderful Thanksgiving Buffet at the Taylor location for $24.37 (incl tax) for soup, salad, turkey, ham, chicken, several sides and pumpkin pie! Great staff....they treat you like family.😊“

“Must try the peanut butter and jelly slider if you’ve never had it“

“I have been going to Holiday with my son and my mother every Sunday for years. The food is outstanding, and the staff are absolutely wonderful (Toni(sp?) is awesome.) The option of having a counter to sit at is great!“

“I have lunch here about every two weeks. My best impression, is having a floor manager, visit the table, during my visit, to ask if all is well. Having that backup, besides a waitress, is excellent customer care!“

“Amazing anniversary dinner there and did not disappoint!! 5 stars and we will be back.“

“I met up with my family at On the Rocks for Tuesday $1.00 burger night and the food was very good. They have awesome fried rice there too. Everyone in our party really enjoyed the food. The staff was great. They genuinely cared about the service they were delivering. We will definitely be going back there again!“

“Definitely a great spot to hangout with friends or bring your kids for a fun dessert!

Got the champagne sangria…delicious!

As far as food, got a salad and jojo fries. Nothing extraordinary but still tasty. Will come back to try the shakes!“

“The conference I was attending at Caesar’s Palace did not offer meaningful vegan options so I ducked out to nearby Thyme Kitchen. They serve breakfast and lunch, and their breakfast option is available as long as they’re open. I got the vegan breakfast to go, and I appreciated The rice and beans and tofu along with the fresh tomato and fresh fruit. I didn’t specifically request condiments, so my shredded potatoes and toast were plain, but otherwise everything was pretty good.“

“The best corn beef eggrolls I’ve ever had“

““I had an excellent experience at Harvey’s! The food was fresh, delicious, and served exactly how I wanted it. I loved being able to customize my burger with so many topping options—everything was super fresh. The staff was friendly, efficient, and the service was quick even during a busy time. The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere. Harvey’s has definitely become my go-to spot for a satisfying burger and fries. Highly recommend!”

Vegetarian options: Veggie burger 🍔“

“Great foodie experience! Jake our waiter was amazing! Excellent food and service!!! Desserts delicious! Go now!“

“I’m typically not a fan of any Coney Island restaurant and generally don’t dine in them but this one deserves a shout-out! Every time my brother comes in town, no matter how far his hotel stay is in the suburbs, he’s coming here for breakfast and says repeatedly, “There’s no place in Virginia that even compares to Lon’s”. ONE COOK is grilling for an entire dining area of people and how he can navigate the orders, get them right and serve the customers delicious, piping hot food in a timely fashion is short of amazing! He’s quiet and doesn’t have time to ‘chit chat’ but will speak briefly. Omelets are fresh and delicious. Specify if you want your hash browns ON THE SIDE, otherwise they may be stuffed inside which is still good. Wait staff is pleasant and accommodating but most importantly, cooking and prep area is clean and tidy. Enjoy!“

“Small diner right in Greek town. It’s good value with friendly service. Typical diner food - nothing to write home about but portions are large and prices are cheap.

Parking: Street parking and plenty of paid garages around.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get in.“

“Best experience. zagloul subs they have the best subs I definitely recommend this restaurant“

“Food was amazing. I had the chicken (tenders) & waffles & my fiancée had the corned beef hash & both were delicious & so much food that neither of us finished ... our waitress name was Noble & she was absolutely amazing too. She made sure we had everything we needed & was really nice (even calling us ma'am & sir) ... the atmosphere was perfect too ... we've added this to our list of favorites

Parking: Super hard to get a close spot, so be prepared to possibly walk“

“Great atmosphere, food was good and well mixed drink. Would go back if I’m ever in Detroit again“

“Great food and excellent service!! Angelica took care of us. ❤️“

“I came here with my boyfriend and we both ordered burgers, and the gal up front was very nice. I have a gluten allergy and asked for an item to be left off along with a gluten free bun because of my allergy, and they accidentally included it on my meal still. I didn't realize until I got home and I live a good distance away so I called, and they were so apologetic it almost made me feel bad ? they immediately refunded the entire order and continued to apologize profusely. What I did have of my meal was fantastic and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his as well. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because of the allergy, literally everything else was perfect. I'll be back and I'll also refer some friends, gluten free or not. Double check in the store for sure if you do have an allergy. But they're so understanding and accommodating of food restrictions that I will still eat here and encourage my gf friends to try it too. I had the blazing burger, the Cajun fries, and my boyfriend had a make your own- Fantastic, all of it, fantastic!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Friendly Burgers“

“Love the service at this Applebee's the waiters are friendly and helpful the management was excellent mrs.black is a excellent manager great hospitality to the customers. I would highly recommend anyone please go this applebees in allen Park you won't be disappointed“

“I was blown away by the service received by the staff at a Taste of History. They kept the environment extremely clean and when my partner and I went to throw out our water bottles, the staff recommended we fill them up at the water fountain. So kind! Thank you so much! You saved the day!“

“DISCLAIMER: I WILL L LEAVE OUT MY OPINION ABOUT THE FOOD BECAUSE WHEN I ATE THERE, I WAS COMING DOWN WITH A SINUS INFECTION. THAT CAN ALTER HOW THINGS TASTE.Coney with a small town diner feel. This is one of those places where you just know most of their daily business is from the community, and the staff probably knows most of the customers names.My waitress was named Julia and she was both witty and pleasant. The service was extremely quick and cashing out was a breeze.I must go back and visit again in a few weeks. I will update this soon.“
