“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“I’ve never had a bad meal at any one of their many restaurants. We celebrated my daughter and her graduation this evening with dinner at the Deer Lake Inn. Everything we had was great and the server we had was superb, great food and service. The entire menu is good, you can’t go wrong.“

“We hold our annual business dinner at TMH. We, as well as out guests, are always more than pleased with the food, drinks, atmosphere and service!“

“My wife and I were lucky enough to dinner here with her parents. The food was amazing. Best lobster tail I've ever had. She got the seafood risotto and also thought it was very good.

I would highly recommend when you're looking for a fancy night out.“

“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! ❤️“

“First time in in this place. Great atmosphere and very clean. We were celebrating our friends birthday and it was a great time. The staff and the waitresses were amazing. I needed a piece of gum because I ate onions so the waitress Mackenzie went and brought me some. Thank you so much. We will be back. 🙂“

“I went to Seasons 52 for a work lunch. Out waitress was really nice. I ordered a salmon salad and it was absolutely delicious. Fish was fresh and seasoned well. The salad was lite and refreshing. I would go back there to order that again. They also have a lunch menu where you can get a flatbread and either a soup or salad. Some of my coworkers ordered a flatbread and side salad, they had a lot of food. Everyone stayed their food was good. My salad was $23 and I didn’t have much left over but it was really good. Seasons 52 offer other dishes that also sounds really good.“

“NKU Track team in town for Horizon League Outdoor Track Championships; doing a team bonding evening before the following days competition.
Bob and staff took excellent care of us!
Our group hit the buffet and we did have a period when the kitchen was struggling to keep up with the demand early on however no one went hungry for the evening. Hated to see full pizzas go to waste.
Team had alot of fun with darts, golf & axe throwing.
Fun concept, thanks for your hospitality.

“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 meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

“Delightful restaurant- very large inside - nice ambiance and vibe. Service was excellent and food was good. It was my daughter’s birthday and they brought her a surprise dessert with a firecracker in it which was a nice fun surprise and the dessert was a cheesecake of sorts with berries and was delicious! I had the salmon which I thought was ok - I wouldn’t get it again but my daughter had the crispy rice which she enjoyed very much and my husband had the lemon chicken and he liked that as well. We would try again.
Second review - my husband ordered the blackened shrimp pasta and they were out of that so then he ordered the whitefish and she came back and said no sorry out of that too. All they had was prime rib for $50 or salmon which he hates. He ended up getting crab tacos and it was unfortunate.
I got the fattoush which was good and our daughter got the waygu burger which luckily she couldn’t finish so my husband scarfed it down as the tacos weren’t really enough as a dinner entree.
May be back🤷🏻‍♀️“

“My family and I went for Mother's Day and we enjoyed our meals!! I didn't like how the hostess who greeted us at the table was a little short and somewhat impatient. However, the gentleman that took our order was very nice. Also, the table setup was beautiful! I love that each Mother was given a flower.“

“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!!!“

Thanks for serving great grits!!!!“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely the best most amazing place I’ve ever eaten. not only is every single thing I’ve eaten here delicious, but the service is 100/10.

Me and my sister come here every single week, multiple times. ( we gained most our pregnancy weight here hehe ) if it wasn’t for this place I wouldn’t have had a nice balanced diet and properly gained the weight I needed because I struggle eating pregnant.

My sister just had her baby we even came here right before she went to the hospital for a final meal before labor 😂 we missed out on a few weeks but just came back yesterday. We couldn’t stay away for the food is always a huge craved obsession.

My daughter loves it too 😂🙆🏼‍♀️

Krista, and the chef Franco have become such wonderful parts of our enjoyment here, always check in on us, how we’re doing, and remember the smallest details. We’re always excited to see them, my daughter gets overly joyed and calls them besty😂❤️. Definitely Can’t forget how amazing and sweet Yvonne, Nicole and the manager Chris is too. Never a bad time with any of them, always such good conversations. They’re all such a breath of fresh air and make the meal even more spectacular.

If you haven’t been here yet, definitely stop by ❤️ you will be in for such a treat.

Pricing isn’t bad, quick service, Happy atmosphere, good music

My mother even said she’s been coming here for years too and everything on the menu has always topped anything she’s had at any other place.

Don’t miss out 🥳“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Awesome hot chicken restaurant. I only came here because I used to watch Houston Crosta's videos on Youtube. Didn't really like him but really just wanted to see what this place was like. It's really nicely decorated inside, nice atmosphere and everything. The employees were incredibly nice, and not in a forced way. I was worried because no one was in there at 1 PM. The sandwich I got impressed me. Probably legit one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. I loved the seasoning, need to find out what's in it.

Definitely recommended and would love it if they opened more locations in Michigan.“

“The server Charteria was well-versed with the menu. She was attentive and personable. The manager Kinga came by asking about the server and food. We were impressed with her. The atmosphere was very uplifting. My meal was very good. I had the prime rib sandwich.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love the live music with Tony!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great place great food great service great stuff“

“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.“
