“Outside view very deceiving and a little skeptical of at first-I was in the neighborhood looking for breakfast I’m so glad I took a chance and went in order my food-What a pleasant surprise, the cook and serverWork as a team good food good atmosphere, I would definitely recommend this place!“

“Great food, inventive cocktails, and friendly, knowledgeable service. One of the very best restaurants in Detroit for over a decade.“

“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.“

“Single women beware I was being followed throughout the building on the way to the elevators to get the restaurant. Followed by one guy that I saw, but when I got to the elevators he came to the elevators and another guy was behind him, he did some sign language to the other guy as they slowly walked by as I had just explained to the lady at the elevator I was being followed. I don’t know what they were planning but he definitely looked me in my face as I entered the Renaissance building, as he was already there, then he began to follow me as I saw him every time I looked back over my shoulder. Getting to these elevators are difficult so you have to stop and read the signage and figure out which way to go and he could’ve been gone on his way but No he didn't! I definitely felt uneasy and fearful. I was celebrating my birthday and meeting my niece there. Women be careful!!!!!! The salad was Great! The octopus was just ok, would not order again, the Halibut was bland but fair.“

“We had pork belly, midnight bloom drink, baratta salad with blackened chicken, and Bistro Tenderloin special. Everything was delicious. Our portions were very satisfying. Our waitress, Brianna was great and we had a great conversation with Derek. He was wonderful. I highly recommend this place. They also have a rooftop and patio dinning.“

“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.“

“The mushroom dumplings and roasted bone marrow were a spectacular story of flavor with every bite. Micheal the server was fun and had a cool shirt. The place itself is lovely and well thought out from the sustainable menu to the design - we’ll be back!“

“Love this place! Great staff and food.“

“I got the small spaghetti & meatballs as well as the spaghetti sandwich Eminem's way. Food was DELICIOUS!! Absolutely worth the price! The small came with 3 big meatballs & loaded with grated cheese. It really was ahige portion for a small. The sandwich was also soooooo good even as leftovers!!!! The bad.... I waited like 15+ mins in the rain to order. I walked inside half way through the wait to look for someone, never found anyone. Went back outside & waited with 4 more people & no one ever came so after 15+ mins, I went upstairs to the store & asked for help. The girl working found the cook (who also takes the orders) & just happened to be on lunch. I wouldn't have minded waiting if there would've been a little 30 min break sign up or something. Honestly it seemed like he either hated his job or he's definitely overworked & maybe the only employee besides the girl upstairs Even though customer service was not good, the food was amazing & I'll definitely eat there again next time I'm in town.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, and everyone who works there is very polite!“

“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.😊“

“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!“

“I loved the vegan avocado BLT 😋“

“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!“

“Jo Jo waited on us tonight. He was working behind the bar. He was so friendly and attentive. Absolutely made our to enjoyable“

““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 🍔“

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

“Step back in time—and don’t skip the rabbit stew 🐇🍞🕯️
Tucked inside the historic wonderland of Greenfield Village at the Henry Ford Museum, the Eagle Tavern is more than just a place to eat—it’s a full-on time travel experience.

From the moment you walk in, you feel like a weary 1800s traveler stopping in for a hot meal and a brief escape from the dusty trail. The staff is in period attire, the decor is candlelit and rustic, and even the menu sticks to the era—no fries or fountain drinks here.

We had the rabbit stew, which was hearty and slightly sweet—unexpected, but actually pretty good. The homemade breads and fresh-churned butter were fantastic, the kind of simple comfort food that makes you want to start a bread journal.

If you’re visiting the park, definitely stop in. It’s the kind of place that makes history feel alive—and delicious.“

“Food is good. Make sure to bring cash though. One of their workers tried to charge my card $300 for a burger.“

“Want to give a review for Chloe S. I came in with my grandparents and niece along with my 2 children, 3yrs. old and 8 weeks old. She sat us outside under the awning and was a great experience. Showed the kids a lot of attention and made sure we were all taken care of coming out and checking on us consistently. BTW the food was great!“

“I recommend the meat lover's potato. it was loaded with pepperoni,sausage, bacon and I believe ham. also there was a garlic butter on it that was delicious.“

“Stopped in to get a quick bite to eat, was served my food within 10 minutes of being there and the fries and burger was amazing 🤩 the cook even took time out to make sure the food was to my liking 👍 will def be coming back! Thanks for the great food! Sorry I ate my food to fast to take a picture 🤣“

“A Perfect Start Before the Ballgame

Stopped in before a game at Comerica, and it was a fantastic way to kick off the day. Though the place was short-staffed, the service didn’t miss a beat. Our waitress and the busser were both clearly busy, but they still delivered outstanding service. The coffee was hot with quick refills, and our food came out fast, fresh, and solid all around. Pricing was more than fair for the quality and portion sizes. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!“

“We would eat here again, tasty sliders!!!“

“The food and service were excellent! I got the salmon bowl and the flavor was fantastic. We went for my daughter’s birthday and she got an awesome birthday ice cream with a giant sparkler in it!“

“My friend and I went out to eat today on the 4th! Absolutely amazing service, wonderful environment, and super cool signs! My favorite, “MEN LIE”, because ain’t that the truth. Our server, Shonia, amazing! Food was great, absolutely delicious.“

“For a stereotypical American breakfast-type chain restaurant, the food is pretty good and consistent. I've never had any real issues with my orders and IF there was a mistake it was always minor and corrected immediately with an apology and a smile.

The atmosphere is a bit nostalgic which is part of the charm for me personally. It feels old school and comforting which is nice in a fast-paced world.

The customer service is really why I'm here to write this review though. Having frequented this place so much to the point where a few of the servers know exactly who I am and what I want (lol), it's still always a pleasant interaction and warm smiles all around. If I ever move, I will sincerely miss this place.“

“Wonderful food and service we had about 25 people on May the 29th and Matthew was our waiter and he did a wonderful job of help setting up things getting ready for it and helping out tremendously and doing the whole order of 25 people very very well we was very impressed Matthew is a wonderful waiter and that is why I come to Coney Island and we will be doing our lunches here more often The moose ladies of woodhaven moose used to be Taylor And thanks to the cooks everything was wonderful thank you so much You will be seeing more of us“
