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!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“I have been here several times but tonight my waitress was the best ever!

Her name is ‘Nic’ and I’ll come back just to be her customer again!

Great personality, fun, friendly, intelligent, delightful and a very nice person. Plus! A totally… “Yes! I can do that attitude!” Nic remembered everything. She is exceptional. Give her a raise!

FOOD:
Bun on burger was poor quality, dry. Beef was great and cooked perfectly.

TV: Hard to find game on TV. Need a channel card at table.“

“i like this place a lot, it’s nothing special but it’s good and not expensive. quick & easy

edit: as time went on i realized that the special part about this leo’s are the people who work here. they are honestly all amazing and the person who answers the phone for carry out is genuinely a good person and you can tell she is amazing inside and out. i look forward to placing carryout orders.“

“Our server Miranda took an order outside. She noticed a water bottle on the grass & picked it up, She could have left it for the landscapers to pick up but on this very chilly day she took the time. Miranda was pleasant and wish more employees were like her.“

“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.“

“Try any of the Butter Burgers“

“I was there a few days ago in Brighton, waitress was great, did not care for the new menu. Price increases are pretty large. I did like the old menu better, more different choices. Some of my old favorites were gone, not sure I will return.“

“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“

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

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

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

“Typical Coney Island with a classic mustang in the lobby area. Food was good. Wait staff was excellent even opening the door to help me assist my 96 year old mom back to our car. Plenty of free parking.

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

“Real good stuff! Check it out, you won’t regret it.“

“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!!“

“My wife and I went there for dinner. Food was excellent. At the owner's recommendation, I tried the pork chop. It was amazing. I also liked the fact that both the owner and manager came to our table to introduce themselves and asked if the food was prepared properly. We were very impressed and will certainly be going back.“

“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!“

“Great place for lunch and dinner! Best queso on the main strip, highly recommend!“

“Great service, amazing staff , even better food“

“It's my favorite place to stop before going fishing at Kensington. One stop shop for anything you need. The best fried chicken and make sure to add some gator sauce. My husband love their homemade chocolate chip ? cookies. All the baite you need for your fishing needs.“

“My Bone In Ribeye was cooked perfectly. Decent prices what you would expect for a Chain Steakhouse. Loaded baked potato was delicious and so was the cheesecake dessert. This place like others in the area was Packed 45min to 90min wait. USE the app or website to grt on the list ahead of time and "check-in" when you arrive.“

“excellent food“

“Great place great people, everytime in Brighton it is a must stop“

“Open during the pandemic and nice outdoor patio too!“

“*** 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.“
