“My father and I went in today for the 5 year celebration and our server Tajma was amazing. She knew the beers like the back of her hand and we had a great conversation about local breweries and beers we are huge fans of! Keep up the great work. Also the wings were phenomenal honey sirracha delicious, and the platter had so much amazing stuff we had to take a lot home! We will be back.“

“Haven't been in a while since I moved out the neighborhood. But food was always great, service above reproach, prices were reasonable and great menu selections. Owners and staff were always friendly and appreciative. I could go for a full slab rib dinner or smothered pork chop dinner. With collard greens, Mac n cheese, cornbread and a large kool-aid mixed.“

“Myneesha is amazing, we can’t wait to have her back. Best food and best service we’ve had here hands down! Jen- Owner, Celestial Farms“

“First time customers (7/12/2025). We needed to find a new BBQ place to satisfy our taste buds since SHEETZ is taking over 12 & Mound. WE FOUND IT. Ordered the Judges' sampler to try their variety. Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Chicken, Baked Beans and Hush Puppies are ALL EXCELLENT. The Coleslaw could have been a bit creamer, but we didn't come here for veggies or salad. Loved their sauces as well. We will definitely be back and bringing friends.“

“The food was amazing, great prices he most definitely takes pride in his cooking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My food was on fire when I got it and it was excellent I really enjoyed it !!!“

“Great food awesome people“

“I stopped in I wanted some food. I decided to check out the Nikola’s. Food was delicious very tasty well cooked. I enjoyed my meal and was so full that I could not even eat my dessert. I will come back again and try the barbecue ribs they looked good.“

“Dude's BBQ is sick. He hooks it up with extra sides too. However, it's first come, first serve. So you might be standing in line for 30 minutes with 15 other people, get up there to order and whatever you wanted is sold out. If there's huge line, i don't even bother anymore. It's only open like one day a week now, maybe two if you're lucky lol.“

“Big thanks to Adam, Brenda Jean, Ely and Molly for making my 55th birthday celebration so fun. Everyone had a great time.“

“They serve lunch at our hospital and the brisket is to die for! Sauce has an amazing kick of sweet and savory in every bite. Definitely recommend.“

“Amazing service and flavorful food! Can’t beat this place!“

“If you are craving for good Chinese food in this area, definitely check out Zhangs BBQ! We did take out, and they only accept cash.

Ordered the crispy pork and roasted duck. I would imagine that eating while everything’s hot would be so much better, but the pork was a little dry with skins that weren’t crispy; however, the duck even when cold was delicious. Usually the ducks I’ve had in Chinese BBQ can be very salty, but this one was a good balance of sweet savory combination. It was tender and fatty, and the skin has a good flavor to it too. Definitely would recommend the roasted duck.“

“The BBQ wings are so good! A bit dry but the seasoning definitely makes up for it. The sides are bomb too, great Mac and cheese, yams, and baked beans. The greens are flavorful but a tad bit on the salty side. The banana pudding is delicious too. Definitely going back!“

“One of the best Roast Duck, Roast Pig spot here in Madison Heights. I drive from Lansing just to come pick up roast duck or both when I really wants some or when I'm in the area I always stop by.
They also sell other meat there including cuttlefish, pig ears etc. its a small spot only for pick up and go. Price went up like everything else but cheaper then the one in Grand Rapid. I highly recommend. They only take cash.“

“Wont go the extra mile, spent over $200 in aweek , ordered a wing dinner ladt night an was late picking it up, car breaking down even called an told them, got there within the hour to pick up, got home wings were hard and cold!!!! Not real happy now“

“This spot is the deal went yesterday n came back to food is good seasoning is on point the greens is fire the bake beans better 😘“

“OMG!! Just went to wedding that they catered……all I have to say is don’t wait another minute. If you’re looking for delicious BBQ give these guys a try. It was ALL delicious. The meat, the beans, everything!! You will not be disappointed.“

“I dined in for the first time a little over a week ago and loved my Cuban! I was determined to sample something else on their menu tonight and while the hubs was figuring out what he wanted, I started to read the reviews and was a bit shocked with a few of them. I too, have a lot of restaurant work in my background and so I paid extra attention tonight. I'm happy to report that my take out experience this evening has been stellar! My call in was handled well and without issue and was ready when I went to pick it up. I only live 5 min away (if that) and the food was really warm, well packaged and delicious. Portions are generous as far as I'm concerned-these Corktown Fries are enough for two and the they don't skimp on the portions of crisp either. I am really glad I've finally been able to get to this place and I'm sure they're on my 'go-to' list from now on.“

“Very amazing food. The staff was very nice, helpful, and welcoming. When we tried their steak it was very good and sweet. The Pajeon was very good with delicious octopus, everything was just amazing. Amazing atmosphere! I cannot wait to come back and witness this experience again, and one of my favorite Korean bbq places. Ten out of 10. Komasomeda Chung Ki Wa!“

“I was hard-core craving Mac and Cheese Pizza only to find that nobody makes it anymore....and then I found Pizzianos. I had people recommend them before but hadn't made it over there...but now I had to! The food...omg! Delicious. I dont even have words to describe the cinnamon bread. Perfection. And on top of the food being amazing, the customer service....superb! The gentleman i interacted with was beyond friendly and informative and I am now sold as a regular customer!“

“First time here. Tried the Chicago style. Heavy! The sauce and cheese are very good. Sauce is very robust & tomatoey and the cheese blend is more flavorful than most places. The inside is small, typical of a pizza joint. Couple of chairs and tables adequate while you wait.“

“My first time trying this restaurant. It was pretty good. I had the beef ribs and chicken dinner. The ribs and Potato salad, were delicious. The sauce is fire. The chicken was a little light skin, but it was done all the way through. The greens and mac and cheese needed a little more seasoning, but over all it was good. I'll be returning.“

“Sweet husband took me for my birthday! Great food! Decent service- Did not mention on menu or from server that tip would be automatically billed in. Would have liked to known at the beginning before ordering, just common courtesy. Idk if anyone else dealt with this. DELICIOUS DELICIOUS FOOD THO“

“First of all, it's been a while since I've been to Happy's Pizza. Previous experiences have made me happy! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and a bright menu that reminded me of all the options I had. I'm interested in tasting the new Asian BBQ pizza! Stay tuned for an update! 😋“

“I grew up in the neighborhood where this is located. The food is superb, especially the fried chicken. Excellent subs & pizza too. One of my new favorite carry out places

Parking: You must back in for street parking along 9 Mile Rd.“

“My pizza for the last 5 years has been excellent. The service is awesome. Delivery is awesome. The people are awesome. They have never failed me just one time, but he corrected it. And I've been extremely happy ever 5 years. I will not buy my pizza nowhere else.. 5 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ 🌠“

“Johnson was our server he was great!!“

“All the way from Indy we love y’all! I’ve visited plenty of times and brought one of my daughters this time! She agrees this menu beats all the bbq in Indy. She especially enjoyed the staff! She will be back for the ribs mac n cheese yams and greens and to try something else on the menu! Thank you“

“Great pricing, great food, and fast delivery. Will be using them again! Thank you guys!!“

“Great food and really nice employees.“

“I had an experience where my steak was not cooked medium well and the situation was not rectified at the moment. Mark (the manager) called my cellphone and offered a voucher to make things right. I appreciate the extra effort!“

“Down here for a doctors appointment tomorrow morning, staying at the guest house at Henry Ford Hospital, we were looking for a pizza place we don’t have up in the U.P., the delivery driver was very kind, and was delivered very fast! Food was delicious!“

“This is the best pizza ve found so far. Cooked to perfection, staff was fny and had everything out before they said it would and it was cooked, sauced, and topped perfectly. Thank you for giving me a great pizza. We ate it too fast before I could get a picture. Thank you again“

“"I LOVE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING EVEN THOUGH I'M TRYING TO WATCH WHAT I EAT & LOOSE SOME WEIGHT @ THE SAME TIME!!“

“Theirs not to many places around the city that offer a good, hardy and delicious New Orlean style seafood gumbo but, I happened to be driving around on the westside and was hungry and decided to give a new place I'd heard about from a friend. The spot is called "Dem Noles Bois"...It's been awhile since I had a good gumbo. I've got to tell you, to my surprise, this was the best gumbo that I’ve had in years definitely five stars. I definitely will be back again...I want to try the BBQ Ribs, the fried chicken wings, and for sure, the fried shrimp dinner. P.s., the Banana Pudding was on point“

“Papa’s Pizza is more than just a pizza place — they have a great selection of food for everyone. Of course, the pizza is tasty, but they also offer chicken, ribs, shrimp, lasagna, and much more.

The menu is big, so it’s easy to find something you’ll like.“

“The food was damn good and well worth the price I will be checking this place out again the ghetto Burger was good it really didn't stand out from any other Burger but it was still good the cheesecake dessert was the only thing I did not like and honestly it didn't even taste like cheesecake was more like Frozen cake so I'll pass on the dessert but everything else that I had was damn good.“

“Always yummy and delicious“
