“Last night my family and myself went to Grand Tavern for supper after a long day. Our waiter Xhorxh was absolutely amazing! Personally, I have dietary restrictions and explained to him that I am unable to have gluten, dairy, or egg. I had already pre-creeped the menu before arriving so I could find a meal that would be easy to hopefully adapt to my dietary restrictions. After explaining my restrictions Xhorxh was ON IT! He immediately spoke to the chef and the chef adapted my meal to my restrictions. Xhorxh did tell me that there could be a possible cross contamination with gluten on one of my sides and explained that they couldn’t guarantee that that one thing would be gluten free. Listen, not very often in the service industry do you come across a wait staff member or chef that made sure to cross all of the boxes. I ordered brussel sprouts as the appetizer without the cheese (I could have had three plates of that it was so good) and the cedar plank salmon and ordered two veggies as my side. IT was DELISH!!!!! Xhorxh also made sure that our drinks were constantly filled and took amazing care of our family. My MIL even made a comment after we received our meals how she really liked him as a waiter. I wished we had a Grand Tavern where we lived but unfortunately we are 8 hours away but we will absolutely be back when visiting family! ❤️“

“They have a super nice establishment and I like that they have bouncers that take security seriously. It feels safe and good. I ordered a draft bud light and it was the bottom of the keg. I reported to bartender about it and they gave me a new beer without issue. And we’re super happy to do so.

The dance floor is where the fun is.

THANK YOU!“

“Overall enjoyed my experience here. Main issue I had was that we had a reservation and still had to wait quite a long time to be seated after we arrived. Food and service were both good. Had to park far away due to the restaurant being so busy as well.“

“There was a bit of a wait to be seated since we didn't have a reservation but it wasn't as long as I thought it would be! All of the staff was pleasant and helpful! I got the crab stuffed shrimp with grilled asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes and it was all divine! Truly enjoyed my birthday dinner w/friends!“

“Maria is hands-down one of the best bartenders at Hub Stadium. She’s always on top of her game, remembers orders without missing a beat, and keeps the bar moving even on the busiest nights. She personally changes the kegs and still keeps everything running smoothly—no downtime, no complaints.

You can tell she works incredibly hard and probably goes through three kegs a night without breaking a sweat. Great attitude, great service, and she makes the whole experience better every time we’re there. If Maria’s behind the bar, you’re in good hands.“

“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!“

“Great meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’m so impressed! We had our wedding dinner here, 25 people. The room was such a vibe, they put the table together beautifully, and THE FOOOOOOD 🔥 Everyone was very happy with their meals. The presentation and service were excellent. Our servers Morgan and Shannon were attentive and sooo nice. I would recommend a private event here to anyone. Thank you 220 for a great evening. We’ll be back!“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We had a large group of ladies come in for dinner. It took us about an hour to get seated on a Saturday since they dont take reservations. We had a few bumps in the night but Brandon took great care of us. I believe he was the manager. Our appetizers were great (calamari and crab cake). The bread (or donut as we called it) was delicious!! Our entrees however were less than desirable. Pictured is my crab cake entree with a side of smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese. The mac was terrible (unseasoned and the noodles were hard) 😢 I left the full side almost completely untouched on my plate. My friend's broccoli had a hair in it, which they promptly remade. Someone else's steak tasted like cinnamon as she described it and was tough for the cut of steak. The drinks were 10/10 (shout-out to the bartender). I had a lemon drop mojito *chef's kiss* And the creme brulee was delicious as well. Overall, I would return but simply for drinks and apps!“

“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♥️“

“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!“

“Great food and great service 🙏🏾 highly recommended if you’re in the area“

“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!“

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

“We went to Bitter Tom’s for my birthday last night. Not only were the food & drinks amazing-especially the feta spinach dip. But the service was PHENOMENAL. Our waiter was Joe, he even joined us in eating the birthday cake we brought! And another waitress, Alyssa, was so friendly & helpful with my cake. She put it in the cooler, got candles for me, lit them, cut the cake, & helped box it back up. All without being asked or being our server. I was astounded. Perfect experience & i could not recommend more!“

“One of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had! I had the house omelet and it was phenomenal. My family and I shared other dishes and everything was very very good. All came out piping hot. And this was on a busy Sunday morning! Portions are generous. Service was top notch. Very clean. Definitely coming back, no question.“

“We just held a baby shower in the enclosed outdoor Patio at the Troy location, January 18th. Was worried it would be cold since it was in the low 20s outside and windy, but it was wonderful. Staff was wonderful to work with from all the pre-planning with Jenna through the entire staff at the Troy Location. Servers were very attentive to all the guests. Manager worked with us on how and when we wanted the appetizers served, followed by lunch and then dessert. It was a great location for the shower. It was like having it in our own backyard but with service and none of the cleanup! The fireplace with the chairs by it was a great place to display prizes for the guests and a great place for the new mom and dad to open the gifts with everyone being able to see. It was easy to walk around and talk to everyone. We will definitely recommend to our friends for future events.“

“Went to Savory Grill tonight (11/14/25). The food was fantastic! Staff so sweet. Great atmosphere and loved that "diner" feel. I miss the days of seeing people sit at the bar eating their food, talking with staff, and just enjoying it all. Great place. I wish it was closer to me. Thanks Savory Grill!“

“Great food and great staff! 10000% recommend stopping in“

“Another small hole in the wall restaurant that are always far better then big places.
Only open for breakfast and lunch and nearly always a line to get in. Locals love the place tucked in behind a drug store.
Food is great and you get a lot which makes the slightly higher prices easier when you have enough for a second meal later.
Still a regular spot a year later for the reasons above.“

“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.“

“we always go here for breakfast they have always had great tasting food and great service. the place is clean as well.“

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

“BEST food in Romeo!! The owners put so much hard work, love and care into this place…it’s the best it’s ever been. Staff is friendly, lively and fun. The regular crowd in there makes everyone feel welcome. Great vibes, great food, amazing drinks specials, great people. Check them out!! MUST TRY AS A NEWBIE - cheeseburger wrap, filet, chicken rockefeller soup, cranberry walnut salad, chimichanga, homemade pierogis.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This was our first time coming here and by far the best place we’ve ever had breakfast! The food was amazing, the waitresses are all so kind and welcoming. The prices are very reasonable. They made us feel like we were old friends visiting. We will definitely be back again soon! And to the angel that paid for our meal, thank you so much for the kind surprise. It made our whole day! We will definitely pass on the generosity. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything here is…incredible!Everytime I come here,I order hotdogs that taste amazing and food for my family.My grandpa says they’re salad is amazing and their food is magnificent and they’re very nice people.Go to your nearest Jimmy’s Coney Grill!“

“Amazing food; great service; portion sizes were huge!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“The food here is always phenomenal. The tender is the right amount of tender and juicy. Though, my favorite part of coming to Houston is the service. Every time I come Sean and Trey (I think is how it’s spelt) treat me with nothing but love and kindness. Even when I came right before closing time, I saw both of them beaming and they treated me like a brother, much love to both of them ❤️. I would recommend this place because of the service alone.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I was there on Sunday and my food was delicious and my waitress Dawn was very professional very nice "hard to find now a days"... I definitely recommend this restaurant I will be back again!“

“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.“

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