Best Restaurants
“We’re always interested in trying new microbreweries, so we popped in on our way traveling to northern Michigan. With limited time, we had one beer each but regretted not budgeting more time. Both were in the IPA family and both were outstanding. Will definitely be returning.”
“Awesome Thai food. First time I went to go here I drove past it 3 times not a very good sign and a tiny building. This is my kind of place. Always busy. Great food , good service .”
“We had a great dinner. Steaks, potatoes, salad, veggies, shrimp, ribs, bread, and a blooming onion to start it off! The atmosphere made for a great date night and our server, Lilly T, provided exceptional service!”
“We love the puffy tacos, crunchy tacos and chicken burrito. In my opinion, the best tacos in Saginaw. We have been eating here once a week since we discovered this place. Everything is fresh, homemade, and very flavorful. 100% highly recommend.”
“The restaurant is well located near to the highways when you head towards the Traverse City or Mackinaw from South. Food quality is excellent and the service is great. We reached when it was about to close but the lady owner served everything fresh hot and also ensured that roti is made fresh even at that hour.The restaurant is ran by Punjabi family. I wish if I could add an extra star for the wonderful hospitality. This is definitely the place to try if you are looking for Indian food in the area.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Have visited a couple times. The second time they were very busy, when we visited . We did have to wait a while for our food. The wait would have been alright if our sliders would have been made properly. We still ate the food because we were starving. The waitress did say she would notify the kitchen staff after we told her of our concerns. She did take some money off the bill, which is not why we told her but appreciated it. Will definitely go back.”
“Excellent food! Tried their beef tamales, I was ready to go back for another dozen! Soft flower taco/burrito amazing! Food there overall is some of the best in the city!”
“I had a hunger for a really good mushroom and Swiss burger. I just haven’t found one that was that great. We were driving through Saginaw so I googled best mushroom and Swiss burger in Saginaw and found this little gem. When I say it was the best burger I have ever had I mean it. Was nice and juicy and loads of toppings. You will not be disappointed if you stop.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Family owned local business, great customer service, fresh bread and unique menu of subs to find your "go to favorites" (e.g. recommend the Rueben, and Cowboy), large servings so bring an appetite, one of the best sandwiches around. Highly recommend, stop by and check out for yourself. They manage their inventory of bread well, but occasionally run out, so if later than lunch rush, call ahead to place order or check on bread supply.”
“The cheesecake frozen yogurt was really good! 10/10 would recommend. Nice flavors and good selection of toppings! They didn't have strawberry syrup topping which kinda surprised me. Recommendation to the business would be to have a way to test the flavors. I tried one and didn't like it so I ended up throwing a full cup in the trash. The service was subpar. It was a gentleman.Edit: I went there again today and one, they DO have a way you can test the flavors and two they do have strawberry syrup and fresh strawberries. Somehow I missed it the first time. The service today was very good, that employee was leaps and bounds better than the gentleman the first time!Parking: In front of building, in a strip mall.Kid-friendliness: Definitely a kid friendly place. The 1st time I went I was with 6 kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible.”
“It's a nice quiet little place to get a quick bite to eat. Their food is pretty small portions but it's fairly priced and I like getting a bunch of different things all at once so it's perfect for me. I've never gotten anything from there that doesn't taste good. And the food always comes out really quick too.”
“Awesome Thai food. First time I went to go here I drove past it 3 times not a very good sign and a tiny building. This is my kind of place. Always busy. Great food , good service .”
“We had a great dinner. Steaks, potatoes, salad, veggies, shrimp, ribs, bread, and a blooming onion to start it off! The atmosphere made for a great date night and our server, Lilly T, provided exceptional service!”
“I got the spinach puffs, pakora (there was 8 in total) and the loaded curry fries. Everything was really good! Most impressed with the puffs. I was a little confused because my mom went here and got a Stromboli but I didn’t see it on the menu. I was happy with my loaded fries though, and I’ll definitely be back!”
“I love this cafe! It’s so cute and cozy. Everyone here is always so friendly and I’m glad to support a coffee shop where everyone is friendly and kind.This is my favorite coffee shop out of all in Saginaw and I’m so glad I found it via my boyfriend ?”
“My recent visit to Retro Rocks was nothing short of exceptional. As someone who enjoys exploring local dining options, I was truly amazed by the quality of food at this establishment. The bar food, often a mere afterthought at similar venues, shines brightly here, with the pot stickers and lavender lamb standing out. These dishes, in particular, showcased an attention to flavor and detail that I did not anticipate, leaving me pleasantly surprised and thoroughly impressed.Retro Rocks has easily earned its place among my top 5 restaurants in the area, thanks to its outstanding menu that goes above and beyond typical bar fare. The ambiance of the place adds to the overall experience, making it a perfect spot for both casual outings and special occasions.Furthermore, the service we received was exemplary. Our waitress struck the perfect balance between friendliness and attentiveness, contributing significantly to our enjoyable dining experience. It's clear that Retro Rocks values customer satisfaction as much as they do the quality of their food.For anyone looking for a dining experience that combines great food with a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Retro Rocks. This establishment is a true testament to the vibrant culinary scene.”

“Went tonight for the first time. I got ribs and pulled chicken and my husband got a chicken Philly. Everything was very fresh. The ribs had amazing flavor and fell right off the bone. The BBQ sauce was awesome too! Place was clean, music was good! The young man behind the counter was personable and professional. This place is a little hidden gem in Saginaw. We will definitely be back!”
“Me & my friend are checking out different place. Hey google Taco Bell is not Mexican food! The portions was very ample, wait staff was very good. We will be back. Thanks ”
“Just had lunch there today ! Was celebrating my sister in law's birthday. While I waited for her. The lady waitress came up to the table.Didn't introduce herself, slammed the chips and salsa down asked if I'd like anything to drink while I was waiting? I replied yes I'll have a lemon lime frozen margarita!She then rolled her eyes and said don't you just mean lime ?I smiled and said yes. She never brought my drink!Next thing I can see her with her coat on clocking out !She never told any of the servers to take over the table..Thank God for MANNY!!He took great care of us..The food was great, and the margarita too !!!”

“Great local takeout spot for pizza, pasta, garlic knots, etc. service was prompt and friendly. Excited to explore more of their menu! As far as this trip goes, we kept it simple with their pesto pasta and pepperoni pizza. Both delicious!”
“I ordered the special of grilled pork chops with apple and cranberry chutney. But I think it was sliced pork loin because it didn't have the bone in it so it wasn't like a real pork chop but it was very flavorful.”
“Easily 5 stars. The atmosphere and the service were great. The food was excellent. You can tell they really pride themselves on using fresh, quality ingredients. Even simple things like fries, ranch, and marinara are superb.”
“I was a previous employee here. I can guarantee you will not get another experience like you will at Coty’s Landing. From the people that serve you to the kitchen freshly preparing your food to the dish washer making sure you have clean dishes. These people work hard everyday to cook you fresh food daily not like commercial kitchen where things come out of bags. The prices reflect the effort put into this building. I’ve never had a bad experience here working or eating. Want a great night out stop here and you won’t be disappointed.”

“Best olive garden around! We ate till we almost exploded and still had leftovers to take home. The waitress was so sweet and attentive. The food was amazing. We said it last night, but I'll say it again compliments to the cooks! ? ? ? ?Parking: Plenty of parking and the lot was clean and clear.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible!!!”
“Food great as always, but what I really wanted to highlight was my server A_____ (edited for privacy). I had a fussy 6 year tonight, who wasn’t happy having to wait, lol. I had already picked out a ribeye from the case while we waited. Well when our server A_____ came to the table and they didn’t have crayons for the kids menu, she gave us a pen. Then Theodore had already finished all the math problems by the time our drinks came back. She wrote out some fun math problems for him. He did those and she brought another set of ones a little harder. He was so excited solving them and couldn’t wait to show to his older brother and teacher.A night without electronics and he was giddy trying to finish them before she came back.I asked if she was in school to be a teacher, as she would probably make a great one. But she said to be a pediatric nurse. Which from how I could tell she interacted with my son, even on a busy Saturday night, I think she’ll be a great one.TRH, I hope you appreciate staffers like this, as they make all the difference.Kid-friendliness: My server was excellent and engaged with my son.”
“Only take out. Don't judge a book by its cover. The food is very good, and you get a lot for your money. I think there's one guy doing everything, including delivery. Be patient.I know this place has changed hands many times, but it is worth a try.”
“Went for a family lunch. The server was very friendly. The food was great! Everyone liked what they ordered. I had the 10 inch Bianco lover pizza. Will definitely return!”
“My experience her brought me back to my childhood. The fideo was perfectly cooked. The rice is better than mine and I'm a former chef lol. I will be coming back to dine in again. Enchilada dinner is my ”
“This has to be some of the pizza I've ever eaten. Today we ordered the margherita and an order of bread sticks. They did not disappoint.You've got a lock on the crust and the sauce.If you all ever decide to franchise in Davison, I'd be happy to head it up, or even work there to share the magic you all create. 5 stars..”

Very quick usually no matter how busy it is so that's not going to be a problem whether you do pickup or dine in. And did I mention the smell inside of the BBQ constantly being cooked! I can't say enough, keep up the amazing work guys!”

People, food and service were very enjoyable! Tried the chicken strips meal per a friend's recommendation. Will order again!Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance and seating wheelchair friendly”
“I took my sister here for her birthday and loved it! The chef was super nice I told him about my allergies and he was very understanding and made sure that he didn't use it to Cook my food, and still was able to cook infront of me. A lot of places I go aren't always accommodating to my allergy. I would for sure come back and recommend”
“Friendly service, no wait time to order, received food in a timely manner. Phó was pretty good, no protein rice bowl had a nice flavor, no protein summer roll was refreshing.”
“Waitress was very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent - I strongly recommend the seafood ravioli! It was warm, quiet and cozy. We will definitely be back!”

Shout out to Tara, my server today, and Juliana!! Can't wait to eat there again.. Don't forget to ask about the Balla Burrito which is named after me ?”

“I had a great experience at this Dennys! I had a server named Tara and she was super awesome! She made sure we had plenty of drinks and checked on us often and we all had a nice conversation and we talked about accents. She had an awesome accent coming from someone who never had been to the north til moving here. This was a great experience for a new time local. They say it’s “southern hospitality” Not anymore! Now it’s called “Tara’s hospitality” haha but yeah 10/10 highly recommend. Smash burger was amazing I love breakfast burger that was such a fantastic idea I’ve never seen something like it before haha it tasted so good and fresh”
“The people who took my order and the drive thru people were so nice and friendly in the morning. Even though my order wasn't exactly correct, I was impressed with the service and attitudes of the employees. ?”
“Ba da ba da da, _________Not only is the jingle or melody addictive and get stuck in the head.The cravings for a few of their breakfast sandwiches are addictive as well. But that's all I go there for once a week ???Steak egg and cheese bagel is highly recommended with two hashbrowns 1 hash brown to put in the sandwich and the other for the side. Well played McDonald's. Well played”
“We ordered everything and everything was fine We got to the first window and the lady was extremely nice for it being 8am. We pay and go to the second window which is where it got rude. The lady at the second window didn't even acknowledge us just pretty much through our food and drinks at us and just walked away without saying if it was everything or not.”
“Always packed in the drive thru inside also very busy and slow getting the orders out or have the door locked so you can't come in and a long line in drive thru ‼️Parking: Alot of parking on one side kinda hared to park around lunch time and breakfast all the work tricks and etc.....”
“The kiddos love McDonald's food and the play scapeParking: Sometimes, during certain times of the day, you might have to circle the building a couple of times to park in the handicapKid-friendliness: Most definitely, that will be the only reason I will dine in when I have the kiddos”

Fralia's
“Fralia’s has incredible food. My favorite is the cobb salad. The dressing on that salad is so yummy, I ask for extra to take home. I am always excited when the mushroom soup is the soup of the day, so darn good. I have tried several sandwiches, soups and salads and have yet to get something I don’t love.”
“Our 1st time here and absolutely perfect. Our waiter Scott was great. The food was amazing. We started off with the fried mozzarella which was awesome. I was told they are removing it from the menu for some reason. My recommendation is to leave it on the menu because it is the best fried mozzarella I've ever had and I'm very particular about my fried cheeses. We then had the Mac and cheese with bacon which was great as well. Next was the cherry bourbon BBQ chicken and words cannot describe the absolute mouth bliss this meal was. The sides were sweet potato French fries which were also a taste bud sensation. Almost as if I was eating potato candy. Wild rice was the 2nd side and also very good as well. I would say 10/10 will come here again not only for the friendly service but the absolute food euphoria. Again Scott was a great waiter and kept our drinks full and had great hospitality. ?”

Takeout Restaurants
“Best brewery in the area. Service and atmosphere are top notch. Beer selection is great, and seasonal brews often go fast. They don't have food, but have food trucks most nights of the week, and you're welcome to bring anything you'd like in to eat while you're there.”
“We’re always interested in trying new microbreweries, so we popped in on our way traveling to northern Michigan. With limited time, we had one beer each but regretted not budgeting more time. Both were in the IPA family and both were outstanding. Will definitely be returning.”
“Incredible food, friendly staff, just an all-around great experience.Make some reservations and head on over. These are the types of local businesses that we absolutely need to support.The shrimp and grits were incredible.”
“Have visited a couple times. The second time they were very busy, when we visited . We did have to wait a while for our food.

“Always fun coming here to play cornhole on friday nights! Service is top notch! The waitress brings me my drink as soon as she sees me! The food and drinks are excellent and the price along with the amount of food you get is great as well! Always bring home a little extra for the next day! 5 ”
“I ordered the special of grilled pork chops with apple and cranberry chutney. But I think it was sliced pork loin because it didn't have the bone in it so it wasn't like a real pork chop but it was very flavorful.”
“Ordered the gingerbread latte a cold drink with their homemade concentrated lemonade added to butterfly pea flower tea and carbonated water. Y'all! The drinks are polar opposites of each other, but oh so delicious! I highly recommend both, especially the cold drink! Atmosphere is chill, batistas also pass the vibe check as well as patrons.You won't be disappointed! ?”
“Easily 5 stars. The atmosphere and the service were great. The food was excellent. You can tell they really pride themselves on using fresh, quality ingredients. Even simple things like fries, ranch, and marinara are superb.”
“I wish I knew about this place sooner… The ice cream is amazing!!!Parking: The shop is located in a little nook at the strip mall.Kid-friendliness: There’s interesting art all around. The store is painted to look like Superman’s cloths.”
“The food is a little on the expensive side but for the amount of fun my little one has it’s totally worth it! The cost of play is extremely affordable for one toddler. The staff is always great! Every employee I that I’ve done business with has been just great friendly kind and helpful! When Chuck E. Cheese comes out to dance with the children it’s a beautiful thing we will keep coming back to this location!”

“Top-Notch Drive-Thru ExperienceMy recent drive-thru experience at the Culver's I'm Gratiot was great! The Double Cheeseburger was delicious as usual and the staff's politeness and professionalism at every interaction were impressive. Culver's has always had better quality food and continues to excel in service, making it a highly recommended choice for fast food.”
“That Trio platter was soooo good.. everything was seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection! So dang good had me thinking of going right back after eating to order another one!!! Keep up the great work!! ???❤️????”
“This place is amazing! The owner was so much fun and kept checking on us. He taught us some history about the building and seemed very passionate about his restaurant. Our waitress was awesome, and the food was so good! The whole experience was 10/10. Highly recommend.”
“Some friends and I went there for Monday night football, and we had a blast. The staff was super friendly and entertaining and the food was great! This is now our new Monday night spotVegetarian options: They had a good handful of vegetarian options.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Every trip to Michigan includes a much-anticipated visit to Culver's, and each experience reaffirms why it's a highlight of my travels. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly service set the tone for a comforting meal that feels both familiar and exciting. Culver's dedication to quality is evident in every bite, from their butter burgers to crispy fries. However, it's the Turtle Sundae that truly captures my heart. Its perfect blend of rich, creamy custard, savory nuts, and sweet caramel and chocolate is a delight. Culver's consistently delivers a satisfying dining experience, making it a must-visit for me in Michigan.”
“Solid Saginaw Tony's experience.Burgers, Giant Steak Sandwiches,Huge burritos and all-day breakfast, but you can't beat the age old favorite of a classic cheeseburgerwith everthing on it and a side of french fries !”
“Buffet has "dozens and dozens and dozens" (so to speak) of extremely tasty and well-prepared foods of all types: multiple meats and fish (that "melt" in your mouth), salad bar of dozens and dozens of fruits and vegetables, cooked vegetables of a myriad of items. It is almost "overwhelming" because one is enticed to take something of everything. Obviously can't. Multiple breads, deserts, and on and on. And EVERYTHING is well-prepared, tasty, tender, fresh. So many, many choices: *all* are good!! It's well worth the $16.99 ($15.99 for seniors). Just give it a try. You will see what I mean!”
“Welcome to Firehouse! Aside from the food, I love the greeting of every person. It's unusual to be acknowledged every time you enter an establishment. The subs are fresh and delicious!”
“I moved around here from Tennessee and this was my first time at a Rally’s and now it’s my favorite place to go! I found it on google maps and saw that this place has low reviews but I was like everyone is different so I decided to give this place a try and I am very glad I did! I really wish google would remove old reviews because it’s not the same as it was 7 or so years ago. The staff was very friendly and the food was made very good! I absolutely love the prices too. Yall don’t understand how cheap these prices are compared to south prices for such great food. I’m a very picky eater so I had to leave a review for this place. I usually never eat fries because of texture but the ones here tasted warm and good for someone with texture problems. Also the funnel cake fries was amazing! They are no where to be found where I used to live! I definitely recommend this place for sure. When I pick where to eat im definitely going to pick this place! Love it! 10/10”
“Great group of ladies working that day. They were welcoming and like to joke with the customers. The food was fresh and hot, not saturated in grease. Great experience!”
“Food is killer in numerous ways! But the most important thing is the taste. "Hey Reggie, It's good!"? staff is awesome! But on a serious note, if you eat it to often plan to die early.Kid-friendliness: The staff are always super nice!”
“Rolled through about 20 minutes before closing. The employees were super friendly and super fun, especially the worker with dreads at the window who gave us our food. He seems like he'd make a good team leader with such a fun and positive attitude. Usually I would expect anybody to be annoyed we were ordering so close to closing, but they seemed happy to take our order. Food was fresh, perfectly cooked, perfectly assembled and everything was correct. I would highly recommend coming to this Arby's for great food and a great experience! I only wish the dining room had been open. The old school Arby's sign is a fun plus too!”
“Burgers, fries and shakes are great but the chili for the chili dogs tasted spoiledParking: The location in my area is just drive through with parking for pick up”
“I wanted to go to the drive-thru but it was closed off because they were pouring cement. I went in. The service was pretty good there was one other person in front of me. The food was pretty good for fast food.”
“The food is always hot, fresh, and good when I go. They always remember napkins, condiments, and silverware. The location is okay. The building and outside property could use some maintenance or updates like fresh paint and new ordering box. Service is average-and I’m content with that as long as I don’t feel unwelcome. It’s worth the price and the new cheesecake is amazing. I always get the chocolate cheesecake when I go.”
“Love the food!! The location is not great, especially the drive-thru, but building is repurposed from a bank? Drive-thru is very tight for a truck. It is by far my favorite chicken and pitas are Wonder!”
“I know that all the locations on Holland usually get a bad rep for being rude or unprofessional , but the Subway on Holland was shockingly phenomenal. I had never been inside before, and they were extremely professional, sweet, clean, and all of that..????”
“Looking for quick Chinese inspired food this is your stop. We were heading home from Detroit, got a quick bite and it was only 24 bucks for some delicious noodles and chicken. Can't forget the crab rangoons.”
“Our chicken got mixed up with someone else’s and didn’t realize until we got home. We called and we were able to drive back up for a replacement, they gave us a bunch of extra pieces and fries to compensate! they even offered a shake for making the drive back!! they absolutely went above and beyond, it’s so rare nowadays that you get good customer service! shout out to the workers fr”
“Had never been here before me and my twin sister went on my birthday the food was wonderful a week or two weeks later we went again service wonderful food was delicious the people were very courteous and nice food hot and fresh.”
“This is the place to be, along with Swan Valley Golf Course, for golfers on this side of town, Saginaw, Shields and Thomas Township, Michigan.There's even night shift golfing with lighted balls. Beautifully kept lawns with lots of seating inside for socializing and great staff!! We miss Brad Bell's wonderful hospitality. Remember there's a memorial picnic for him on July 16, '23 at a pavilion in Roethke Park, just west of Crooked Creek Golf Course.”

Jet's Pizza®
“Delicious Food! The sauce is so good. There was a lot of sauce on the pizza, if your into that (which we are), it was great, though! Jets has always been a bit expensive but absolutely worth it. ?”
Cheap Eats
“Excellent pizza and bread sticks! Nice to see a shop that sells natural cane soda in glass bottles. Friendly and caring owner .Will definitely recommend and will continue to give them my business.”
“Was a nice place to stop on way home. Nice service. It was strange seeing a guy win $1000 on one of the machines n not buy a round! There was only 7 people in the bar. I know thats on him not the bar. I've won on 5 digit keno 4 times n every time i bought a round.”
“Definitely the best flour shells around, when I stop I usually call my family and take an order, I get 3, my sister usually wants 3, my mom wants a couple, my sister says they freeze well but honestly mine never go bad before they are gone”
“I was here with my Sweetheart and my best friend, Kathy. Girls, Merl's is the place to go in Saginaw if you want a stiff drink and a game on the television set. It was good to be home with friends at Merl's!”
“Stopped by yesterday for lunch for the first time! Wait staff did a pretty decent job. It was extremely dark inside, but the music was good and the other patrons were friendly, welcoming, and hospitable. Parking was fine and decor was fun. By far the best part was the food. Our table ordered the crab cheese, a salad, shrimp dinner, a regular Reuben with onion rings, and a turkey Reuben, and a large order of fried mushrooms. Everything tastes wonderful! We would recommend!”
“I started coming here when Starbucks was closed for their remodel and now prefer them. My iced latte is ALWAYS made to perfection and the workers are always beyond sweet to me and my passenger pup of he comes. LOVEEE creations and love this location specifically.”
“The round Italian loaf is to die for! I just wish Meijer & Kroger could keep it stocked! Jacks seems to do a better job of having it available. I always freeze half of it because it does mold within a couple of days since its not processed junk like other bread.”
“Heidi and her staff are awesome! They helped my boyfriend and I decide on how big of a cookie pie to pre-order. They were super nice and welcoming ? if I could I would give 10 stars.”
“Vargas has been a staple in my family since I was a child. The freshly homemade Tortillas, and Chicarrones are a definite "must have," every time I'm back home in Saginaw! This place is one of a kind! I will accept no substitutes!!!”
“Get sub shop, quick and easy lunch. We have been going here for years. Wife went to SVSU and this was one of our favorite places. Subs are fantastic with great bread and a variety of toppings. One of my default lunch spots when in the area.”
“Just had the catfish dinner, and it was wonderful. Quite honestly, it was the best catfish I have had in years. I chose green beans & potatoes as well as greens as my side dishes, and they were both excellent. The price of the dinner may seem high, but the portions were huge. I have enough catfish left for lunch tomorrow. This was the first time that I have been to Tia's because my schedule doesn't always fit theirs, but I will definitely be making adjustments in my schedule so that I can return. Their Sunday menu is especially enticing. I am just so excited that we have a good quality soul food restaurant in town, and I hope that everyone supports them so that they will continue to flourish.”
“I had a business meeting in Saginaw from Lansing and decided at the last minute to grab some baked goods to share. Google maps gave me some choices of stops along the way, and Maria Elena's grabbed my attention. I am so glad I stopped! These goodies were so tasty!! She had four different flavors of empanadas ❤️ and the cookies were amazing. Everything was very affordable. I will stop again.”
“Stop in for cold beer or some lottery, and perhaps you might be the next lucky customer to purchase a winning Club Keno ticket worth $820 like some unknown customer did on November 23 2019. Perhaps the bartender knows, hope the winner tipped good!”
“I love everything about this place. Management, staff, food, atmosphere; what more could you want? The menu is diverse and the food is always cooked to perfection. Prices are great and you definitely get more bang for your buck. Robbie D’s is by FAR one of the best restaurants in Saginaw. I highly recommend anyone that enjoys good food and good prices to stop by. You won’t be disappointed !Kid-friendliness: My two small kids ate here and the portions were perfect. They loved the food!”
“Great place to get Mexican fare. The food always tastes good. Had their wet burrito a couple days ago. The beans and rice were okay, but the burrito was great, and my wife loves their deep-fried tacos. They don't offer dine-in, but that doesn't seem to affect their business.”
“We ordered a large pizza with double cheese, bacon, hamburger and mushrooms. It was the best pizza we have had in quite a while. The ingredients were fresh and the crust was amazing. Talk about a hidden jewel! If you haven't tried the "NEW POMPEII" you are missing a treat. Can't wait to try other menu choices. Keep up the good work! God bless.”
“Solid Saginaw Tony's experience.Burgers, Giant Steak Sandwiches,Huge burritos and all-day breakfast, but you can't beat the age old favorite of a classic cheeseburgerwith everthing on it and a side of french fries !”
“Super yummy & the staff was very kind. I found the size of the grilled cheese to be big for the price I paid! Portions are good and I had leftovers. Would definitely be ”
“After watching Mark Weins on YouTube cook chicken kahari and roti bread I had to try it. I googled Indian food near me & this place popped up. This was my first time ever eating Indian food. I was a little worried after social media talked so much trash about goopscoup lol but it actually was super good! Best food I had in Saginaw! I highly recommend this place!!”
“Eudici’s Pizza in Shields has become a family favorite for us. Our top choice, the Smoke House pizza, combines the perfect blend of flavors – ham and bacon, smothered in a delicious BBQ sauce, topped with a heavenly mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Eudici’s consistently delivers an exceptional pizza experience, outshining the big-name national brands. Whenever we're craving a delicious pie, Eudici’s is our go-to choice. Highly recommended!”
“Amazing food and you get a ton for the price, super nice people running the truck. Usually see them parked around on my way to work so don't have time to stop, but every night I get out early enough to stop afterwords is gonna be a great ”

“The server (at the drive-through) duplicated my beverage order. When I told him I only wanted one, he had to get a manager. She was not pleasant at all. Acted like I had done something wrong and almost snatched the drink out of my hand. I had to ask for fresh fries even tho he assured me when I ordered that they would be fresh.”
“Always packed in the drive thru inside also very busy and slow getting the orders out or have the door locked so you can't come in and a long line in drive thru ‼️Parking: Alot of parking on one side kinda hared to park around lunch time and breakfast all the work tricks and etc.....”
“It was very busy and our food took a long time to come but boy was it worth it! It was very noisy in the restaurant and hard to hear to have conversation. I would go back for the Pico poblano steak every time exclamation point. Our waitress took a very long time to bring our bill so that disappointed me but other than that it was a good experience.”
“Awesome Thai food. First time I went to go here I drove past it 3 times not a very good sign and a tiny building. This is my kind of place. Always busy. Great food , good service .”

“I had a business meeting in Saginaw from Lansing and decided at the last minute to grab some baked goods to share. Google maps gave me some choices of stops along the way, and Maria Elena's grabbed my attention. I am so glad I stopped! These goodies were so tasty!! She had four different flavors of empanadas ❤️ and the cookies were amazing. Everything was very affordable. I will stop again.”
“Fun place to shop at. Super cute stuff in the holiday market. Lovely ladies wear and jewelry. There is even a small shop to get a quick bite to eat or ice cream.”
“Incredible food, friendly staff, just an all-around great experience.Make some reservations and head on over. These are the types of local businesses that we absolutely need to support.The shrimp and grits were incredible.”

I WILL definitely be back there!!!! keep up the great work and thank you for a great experience!!”
“I spoke to Tiffany today about this restaurant and I cannot wait until they reopen so I can take a special trip to Saginaw just for this! Seems like it's owned by great people who make great food.”
“Most of u know I'm from the south and I have been on a SEARCH for good food here in Saginaw. I am getting closer and closer. The dude at Kings said I'd be back once I tasted the food. You MIGHT be right sir if you see this lol.”
“Just had the catfish dinner, and it was wonderful. Quite honestly, it was the best catfish I have had in years. I chose green beans & potatoes as well as greens as my side dishes, and they were both excellent. The price of the dinner may seem high, but the portions were huge. I have enough catfish left for lunch tomorrow. This was the first time that I have been to Tia's because my schedule doesn't always fit theirs, but I will definitely be making adjustments in my schedule so that I can return. Their Sunday menu is especially enticing. I am just so excited that we have a good quality soul food restaurant in town, and I hope that everyone supports them so that they will continue to flourish.”
“We have really enjoyed all of the food we have had here, from the seafood boil to the fried appetizers. The fried oysters are the biggest and juiciest fried oysters I have ever had and the boil was just as good as what we ate in New Orleans! The fried shrimp are delicious and all of the sauces are on point.I am really picky about dining out and I loved this place.Parking: Huge lotWheelchair accessibility: All accessable”

“I had a great experience at this Dennys! I had a server named Tara and she was super awesome! She made sure we had plenty of drinks and checked on us often and we all had a nice conversation and we talked about accents. She had an awesome accent coming from someone who never had been to the north til moving here. This was a great experience for a new time local. They say it’s “southern hospitality” Not anymore! Now it’s called “Tara’s hospitality” haha but yeah 10/10 highly recommend. Smash burger was amazing I love breakfast burger that was such a fantastic idea I’ve never seen something like it before haha it tasted so good and fresh”
“Best all you can eat Authentic Mexican buffet, available everyday. Also, many great menu items. Nachos, Maria's taco dinners, and enchiladas. Great breakfast tacos, chorizo, and the best menudo in town. New patio for outside dining. New carpet inside. Unfortunately closed on Monday. Catering available for any size ”
“I took my sister here for her birthday and loved it! The chef was super nice I told him about my allergies and he was very understanding and made sure that he didn't use it to Cook my food, and still was able to cook infront of me. A lot of places I go aren't always accommodating to my allergy. I would for sure come back and recommend”

“Always friendly...they treat us like family....we go there alot!! Like every week! My granddaughter, 17, always wants Chan's plan as her reward! Best food in town! Our favorite is crab cheese and chicken lo mein.”
“Great Local’s sports bar. Some people could view this as a dive bar but it’s definitely a Local‘s sports bar first impression walking in the front door…My girlfriend looked at me and said it is very bright in here(as in the lights were very bright).The bartender was very cool, on his game and you could tell that the local folks are very friendly. The old man next to us realize we are from out of town, and suggested the Scottish inn as well and told us we would very much enjoy that Tavern. I recommend anybody that was going through town to stop here. We didn’t eat just had a couple drinks and left but we enjoyed ourselves. There’s no shortage of televisions or space if you wanna watch a game..”
“Walk in and order was placed quickly with friendly service. Two meals average $20.00 as anywhere else. Clean establishment with steady buisness the entire time we dined in.”
“Buffet has "dozens and dozens and dozens" (so to speak) of extremely tasty and well-prepared foods of all types: multiple meats and fish (that "melt" in your mouth), salad bar of dozens and dozens of fruits and vegetables, cooked vegetables of a myriad of items. It is almost "overwhelming" because one is enticed to take something of everything. Obviously can't. Multiple breads, deserts, and on and on. And EVERYTHING is well-prepared, tasty, tender, fresh. So many, many choices: *all* are good!! It's well worth the $16.99 ($15.99 for seniors). Just give it a try. You will see what I mean!”
“This is the first place I ever worked at. Same location. It’s always been big on good customer service. Food is always hot and fresh. It’s at a good location.”
“This place was an absolute pleasure & the people working were thoughtful and executed our order perfectly. :)I really couldn't ask for anything more in a local restaurant!!you have my business forever!!We very happy with my decision to come here..thank you for being so courteous and kind we will see you soon!!10 ? stars”
“The cheesecake frozen yogurt was really good! 10/10 would recommend. Nice flavors and good selection of toppings! They didn't have strawberry syrup topping which kinda surprised me. Recommendation to the business would be to have a way to test the flavors. I tried one and didn't like it so I ended up throwing a full cup in the trash. The service was subpar. It was a gentleman.Edit: I went there again today and one, they DO have a way you can test the flavors and two they do have strawberry syrup and fresh strawberries. Somehow I missed it the first time. The service today was very good, that employee was leaps and bounds better than the gentleman the first time!Parking: In front of building, in a strip mall.Kid-friendliness: Definitely a kid friendly place. The 1st time I went I was with 6 kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible.”
“Only take out. Don't judge a book by its cover. The food is very good, and you get a lot for your money. I think there's one guy doing everything, including delivery. Be patient.I know this place has changed hands many times, but it is worth a try.”
“Best olive garden around! We ate till we almost exploded and still had leftovers to take home. The waitress was so sweet and attentive. The food was amazing. We said it last night, but I'll say it again compliments to the cooks! ? ? ? ?Parking: Plenty of parking and the lot was clean and clear.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible!!!”
“Just had lunch there today ! Was celebrating my sister in law's birthday. While I waited for her. The lady waitress came up to the table.Didn't introduce herself, slammed the chips and salsa down asked if I'd like anything to drink while I was waiting? I replied yes I'll have a lemon lime frozen margarita!She then rolled her eyes and said don't you just mean lime ?I smiled and said yes. She never brought my drink!Next thing I can see her with her coat on clocking out !She never told any of the servers to take over the table..Thank God for MANNY!!He took great care of us..The food was great, and the margarita too !!!”
“Classic American chain. Central counter with chairs and tables all around. I got a piece of meat (their cut, Logan) accompanied by rice and chips. All very good.They always bring the typical "dirty" butter bread which is good, but tends to be very filling.Staff a little inattentive, we ran out of drinks and had to wait a long time before a waitress came by.”

“Found this little gem from 4.9 Google reviews - did not disappoint! Good coffee, yummy bagel egg sandwich, croissant egg sandwich, and scrambled eggs/toast. Hand spun pizza crust being tossed headed for the brick oven made us want to stay for lunch. S’more frappe ordered by another customer looked delectable! Looking forward to their outdoor seating for summer!!”
“Best brewery in the area. Service and atmosphere are top notch. Beer selection is great, and seasonal brews often go fast. They don't have food, but have food trucks most nights of the week, and you're welcome to bring anything you'd like in to eat while you're there.”
