“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!“

“I took my two son’s here today. My youngest has autism and others’ kindly describe him as “a handful.” Accurate. The server comes over and asks for our drinks. She brings them back and my son just throws the cup across the aisle. And then laughs. Autism is super fun like that. Lauren (the server) was super nice about the mess. Another female server cleaned up the milk. They were both very understanding and it helped so much - probably more than they realize! I tipped them both but I hope a manager sees this, because, they are awesome employees!! You’re lucky to have them!“

“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!“

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

“Having had the pleasure of visiting here on multiple occasions across a long span of time, I can say consistency is key, and that word is etched into the walls of this fine establishment, serving as one of its main ethos's.

You can visit at anytime of day, and get exactly what you ordered, how you ordered it, with rarely a deviation, and in a time of constant change, a bit of stability in your dining experience can mean the absolute world.

The service is impeccable, with the waitstaff always aware when you would like to order, when the food is ready, and when you need a refill among other things.

If you're looking for an all-around fantastic American-style dining experience and are in the area, why not visit and see for yourself.“

“My only complaint was that we had to wait an hour to get our food. We had five young children in our group including a 2 year old and a 4 year old so things got pretty out of control at our table while waiting. I've been to Seasons 52 many times and have never waited anywhere close to this long so hopefully just a one time event. I love this restaurant!“

“Our server Jaylen was great and extremwly knowledgable. Jaylen ensured our needs were met. Thr manager, Alan, came by as we were eating and was also very attentive. The salted caramel cheese cake was the cherry on top of an already great experience.“

“I ended up here on a work event. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup with the carnivore pizza. The pizza was fantastic. The soup was half of vegetables which I found unusual. The service was fantastic as well as the pizza, pass on the soup.“

“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!“

“best food ever And a distinguished staff👍👍“

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

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“Our server Staci was great. She made our time there great and we will ask for her on our next visit. Loved the shrimp tacos.“

“Our food was excellent, and the service was even better. George took the best care of us, as always! You must try the chicken parm, the short ribs, and you can't go without sharing a cookie butter tres leches cake - by far the best dessert in town.“

“I cannot say enough about this amazing place. The food was amazing cooked with perfection and flavors that were amazing. we happened on the restaurant on a whim and even though it is an hour+ drive we will be returning at least every couple months.“

“As always, Stoney River Steakhouse did not disappoint! The food, ambience , and service were excellent! What a great place to celebrate my birthday with friends! Even the location is convenient!!

The professionalism of our server, Angela, was superior. The staff, managed by Michelle, was professional and courteous! Whether you choose to order seafood or one of the delicious meat entrees, you’ll be so pleased!!!

I highly recommend Stoney River Steakhouse.

Parking: There are about 20 parking spots, that are very close to the front of the restaurant, as well as the option of valet parking (most evenings). The “overflow” spots are conveniently located and nearby, as well.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap spots up front and valet parking available most evenings. The doorways and pathways in the restaurant are ample to accommodate a wheelchair or walker.“

“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 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!!!“

“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!“

“Service was great. Nice little restaurant. It was a bit too hot out to enjoy the patio. But would Definitely be worth a trip during the summer.

Ordered the bake cheese dip to start. Really enjoyed it. Goes really good with the toasted baguettes.

Full menu of options for drinks. No frozen drinks tho. They do not have a blender. They carry Faygo pop and that was a real treat.

Ordered the chicken Caesar salad. If I had known that, the salad came premixed I would’ve asked for the salad dressing on the side. It turned the Romain lettuce, soggy quickly. Couldn't take the left overs. Dressing was on the bitter side.

Also, tried the fire bird sandwich. Bun gave it good texture. Not a fan of the topping choices. Didn’t go well with the cheese and sauce.

I was excepting a little more from the menu. Smaller menu. Will be back.“

“We LOVED the Reuben eggs rolls. My husband and I shared them and it was filling enough to be a meal for us. We each had a happy hour drink and so for the two of us, our total bill was $22. Not bad! We also got to sit outside by the “waterfall”. Bitter Tom’s is a great local restaurant.“

“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 ⭐️“

“My family has eaten here several times. Service has always been exceptional. You came to my rescue when our Thanksgiving plans fell through and my out of town guests needed a place to have dinner. Your take-out saved the day and the food was good and plentiful. Thank you for being there for us. We all enjoyed a great dinner and know we can count on your pleasant service in the future.“

“This place has a rooftop section. It was very calm and peaceful, and you could feel the breeze. The service was extremely fast and the prices are fair. Totally worth it.“

“Just left The Chocolate Gallery with one of Jasons cherry scones. Absolutely delicilous“

“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

And this was on a busy Sunday morning! Portions are generous. Service was top notch. Very clean. Definitely coming back, no question.“

“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!“

“Great good… friendly, helpful staff!“

“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!“

“Went there last night for a birthday dinner for my husband. Had a wonderful time! Food was excellent, the best steaks in metro Detroit in our opinion! Our Server, Colin, was very personable and attentive. Brendan, the Manager, always checked on us to see how everything was going. Great atmosphere and ambiance. Our favorite restaurant in the area!“

“Luna was an excellent waitress. Very polite and on task with delivery. I watched the quality and service of most of the servers. All appeared to be on task and on time with meals. I'd definitely recommend this establishment to others!“

“Very fancy and expensive restaurant. One of the few restaurants in metro Detroit (and likely the whole of Michigan) that serves Baked Alaska. They do not flame it in front of you nor does it come with sparklers like some restaurants may do. Still it was delicious. Jamie was a great waitress, friendly and in a good mood. There is no parking lot for Forrest, however after 5:30 pm and on weekends you can use the AAA Birmingham parking lot which is right next door. Very nice interior. The water glasses are small. There is a candle at the table.“

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

“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.“

“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!“
