50 Best American Restaurants near South Lyon

“Lyon Grill Restaurant is fabulous! I am writing my review even before I even get my main course because of how amazing the food and service is! Danielle(Pepper) is the best waitress I have ever been waited on by. She sold me on the yummy Lake Superior Walleye😍 Olga, the owner, was so sweet too! It was so nice of her to come over and say hi to us! The ingredients are fresh and high quality! My fiancé and I will definitely be back! Clean atmosphere, great quality food, and friendly faces!“

“Typically, we have a positive experience at the Culver’s in South Lyon. HOWEVER, after placing a simple drive thru order, we waited 25 minutes for the food. There were at least six other cars waiting for their orders as well. THEN, in checking the order before I drove away, I noticed the order was incomplete so went through the drive thru again. Took the manager two trips to our car BEFORE we had everything we ordered. For the delay and missing items, the manager shared two blue poker like chips and he said these are for your troubles today “boss” and walked away. It’ll be a while before we return!“

“I cannot say enough how wonderful my experience was when I held a private party at the South Lyon Hotel. All of the staff were very professional, helpful, and friendly, the food was top notch, and the drinks were never empty. I highly recommend considering this venue for any function where you need to hold a large group of people. The buffet was super everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you South Lyon Hotel!“

“Full slab of ribs, salad and breadsticks amazing!!! Why bother making your own ribs at home when you can get a delicious dinner from alekos! Absolutely delicious!!!“

“The new owners here at Aubree's in South Lyon are amazing. The food and service are just unparalleled. We hosted a dine to donate event with our robotics teams and everything was just perfect that day. No one had complaints and that is hard to do with so many kids and parents! In a touch economic time for restaurants, going to one that really supports the community it's located in should take top priority. Make it an Aubree's night and thank you Aubree's for being a great partner to the Bartlett Robo Bears FIRST FLL Robotics Teams!“

“We often stop in here for a cup of coffee after our workout at planet fitness next door. This restaurant is reminiscent to me of a '60s restaurant very clean inside and although they have trouble keeping help the service we have for our coffee is always good. The servers are friendly and prompt and with the cleanliness of the restaurant I always enjoy going here. Haven't tried the food yet but probably will one of these days soon.“

“Wow,we got a carry out of Baker's, grilled chicken cesar salad and it was AWESOME!!,we loved the grilled chicken, it was flavoured well ,moist and tender,, great service and such friendly staff!!!“

“Took the whole extended family and had a great meal with friendly service“

“It's been a minute since I was on a roof top bar. This particular one is a two for one. The restaurant we were in on top was different from the restaurant below but owned by the same people. They both serve drinks and tapas so it's just the atmosphere you are looking for. On the way up the three flights of steps there were planters that could have been more loved. The floor was also a little strange. It was rubber squares almost felt light you were in a bounce house. The seating was nothing special. It's literally the same deck furniture would buy for your house. I had a lavender lemonade martini dad had a Coke. Again another restaurant that does not serve Pepsi products. We did not eat there. It had a great view overlooking the millpond downtown so being such a nice night it was beautiful to sit outside. The restaurant inside was intimate also known as tiny I assume because everyone wants to be on the roof. For our drinks it's $23.00

Parking: Lots of free parking but they fill up fast“

“Jp is a awesome waitress full of joy an smiles thanks for always making breakfast so pleasurable“

“Try any of the Butter Burgers“

“GREAT ALL THE WAY AROUND“

“Fantastic!! First time visiting. Met a colleague for a working breakfast. Food was excellent - flavor, texture, temp, and presentation were all top notch. Service was excellent as well. The atmosphere was great - not too loud, with a constant buzz of enjoyment throughout (the seats were all filled - so clearly we weren’t the only ones who enjoy this location!). A shout-out to Travis the GM and Erikka our server. Erikka was attentive, patient, and on top of things the entire time. I can’t wait to return with my family!“

“Took my son and his family there - the food was delicious. We will certainly be back! ♥️“

“Loved this place! Food was ready and all the staff were very nice and friendly! Definitely recommend this location!“

“Both Alex and Kennedy are the bomb! Great customer service which have made me a regular!“

“Perfect one stop shop before you head into Kensington or just on your way to or from somewhere. They have everything you need and then some. Need beverages and a cooler? Got it! You wanna throw some disc golf discs? They have hundreds to choose from. Starving? Their homemade, delicious food is affordable and portable! Wanna play putt-putt? You can do that too! Love this place, so glad they rebuilt after the fire.“

“Absolutely amazing food and incredible service! My favorite local restaurant! ❤️“

“Years ago I stopped at Culver’s in Rockwall, Texas. Fell in love with the place. My wife and I are traveling this weekend and decided to stop for supper. As a former Dairyman I really appreciate places like Culver’s. The farm fresh idea is wonderful! At the Culver’s in Brighton, the staff were wonderful. Our food was the best!“

“So I wanna start by saying this is very first review, I’m 9, but I had tell everyone about how great this place is. I love the service, it is amazing! The food is great, l love the cheese sticks!! I highly recommend, it’s really the best food I have ever had!!“

Wheelchair accessibility: 1 spot for handicapped in front of entrance.“

“Was at your lnn 11 10 22 building is awesome got to meet Chris the owner super nice guy got a lot of info on the history of the building had a burger the best also my little server Annie was a sweetheart.“

“I've been to the bar a couple times now and each visit was very surprised on how good the bar food is here. The Reuben surprised me the most. The crispy bread and tender meat. Loved every bite. Definitely A+ tier bar food.

On Sundays they offered chicken tenders meal and it was good, but it definitely wasnt worth the almost 20$ price for one meal of chicken tenders/fries. That was my only annoyance but otherwise I was extremely happy eating here.“

“A great menu very kind and courteous waitresses.“

“Village Pizza catered and delivered food for my son's birthday and they did a fantastic job. The food was delicious, arrived on time, and the order was perfect. I also have to be gluten free, and I loved that there were GF options for me!“

“We went to label for lunch and it did not disappoint. The service from beginning to end was very nice and friendly. The food was really good. My husband had the meatball and he said “ best meatball sandwich ever” and the fries were perfectly cooked. I had the whip it up salad and it was delicious, one of the best salads I have had in Michigan. If you are around Brighton Michigan definitely try this place out“

“My husband and I had dinner last evening at Main Street Grill and Tavern. What a wonderful experience! The food was awesome and the service was great. Our server Zack did a super job and was great to talk with. The manager Chelle (sp?) stopped by our table and we made sure to tell her all the wonderful things about our time at Main Street. We will be back soon for sure!“

“Great service, amazing staff , even better food“

“This is hands down the best Longhorn location I’ve ever been to, it’s clean and the service is always quick. The food comes out hot whether I sit at the bar or sit at a table. I can’t say enough good things about the steaks from the sirloin to the outlaw ribeye they’re all good. I’m getting hungry just writing this thing I’ll be back sooner than later.“

“excellent food“

“It was absolutely the best meal and service I’ve had in a long. Thanks to our server Angela. Very friendly and personable which now a days is rear. So thank you. And again the food was phenomenal. Will be back very soon.“

“*** Update!!

Went to stingers for a drink since it’s been a while since we’ve been here. I sat down and I had my beer right in front of me before I even ordered! The girls working are always so friendly and enjoy our time there!!

Needed a new place to hang out and we decided to try this place out. It looked a little intimidating but It certainly didn’t disappoint, a girl in a biker bar it was amazing! The girls were so nice and welcoming! Will definitely coming back here for some drinks and foods!!“

“Let's talk about coffee. I'm a person that only drinks one dark roast coffee in the morning. I also only drink one large mug in my stainless steel Yeti with the vacuum seal and I want it to be a good tasting one or I don't want any at all. I'm that kind of person. So on a Sunday when we escaped the house and I never got my usual cuppa and we went to Red Olive for breakfast I was craving a cup of coffee. I almost never order coffee out unless it's a coffee cafe and then not often because I think it's crazy expensive. Ok. Please don't judge me. It's just my thing. But on this Sunday our darling waitress said: "Trust me. Our coffee is good. It is a Red Olive blend...not just a run of the mill type." She was right. It WAS good. Not the same as my homemade coffee but I'm telling you I had 3 cups. The cups are small and they re-fill often so it stays hot. I ordered a spinach feta omelet and they almost always taste the same everywhere and I like that taste so when we are making a breakfast decision I'll definitely suggest Red Olive because they have better coffee than other breakfast places we've gone to. Small pleasures in life make a difference.“
