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!“

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

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

“Excellent restaurant in the heart of Brighton. It’s so much more than a “bar and grill.” It’s a first class establishment with a great menu and always attractive specials. Sit at the bar to hear the latest local news! Or sit outside and enjoy the Brightonian aesthetic.“

“Took my daughter for her birthday breakfast yesterday. She ordered pumpkin roll French toast, but was very nervous because it's typically made with pecans, and she's allergic to tree nuts. The waitress assured us that she'd be safe and her breakfast would be completely nut free. The care taken to prepare and not cross contaminate, was above and beyond our expectations. This is always busy, but completely worth the wait!!“

Plenty of safe lit parking in the fine community of Milford. Bakers is also well known for Sunday summer vintage car shows and its great banquet center.“

“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.“

“Everything is amazing with the food choices I've tried, always wondered why the lines are so long and now I know. Definitely addicted now. ❤️“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“The owner and staff of Bagels and Bites are courteous, professional, & friendly. The selection and quality of bagels are top notch. I highly recommend them! 5 stars!“

“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!“

“excellent food“

“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.“

“*** 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!!“
