Family Restaurants near Southgate, MI

“A no nonsense established place to enjoy real home cooked style foods for a good price. If restaurants could be cushy fuzzy slippers, this would be that! Except of course...much tastier and no fuzz! :)“

“beautiful n. amazing food.“

“Always pleasant at SR. Did a To-Go order this time. The chicken gravy on the carved turkey dinner was delicious. The green beans were similar to fresh. Probably the steam type in a bag that is long, not a can version. My potato skins were delicious as usual. The Club was very good as usual but needed to add mayo or other of your choice when we got it home. I enjoyed my tuna salad croissant in-house more than the one I had this time. I prefer not leaf lettuce for next time. The coleslaw was okay. I wouldn't get it again but that is my choice. Hubby added pepper and some other stuff to his to make it taste better. We love this restaurant and have been going there for at least 7 years now. Friendly waitstaff and other staff. Mike has a great place to keep it alive. Lots of menu choices. Always busy during peak times. Only wish they could expand and even have a banquet room on site. Parking is always so full and if the parking lot is full, usually means the restaurant is full or you may have a few minute wait. Booths need a little more room for the larger folks that come. There are only a couple of tables with chairs so some groups have to wait a little longer to be seated at them. If you can be fitted at a booth, they are a little tight for larger folks. They can take the wall partition down in the center to seat a larger group in two booths if needed.“

“Fantastic food, very welcoming. I felt like I was at home“

“I came here to leave a good review because they deserve it! Well I'm not the only one! 5 stars for these guys! I met the owner somewhere I think home depot and he recommended I stop by for food . So one day I did. They are the best downriver . Nobody touches their s*** lol... went there today and found out they are closed on Monday and Tuesday . Bummer because we went to an old place that we used to love and we were let down lol it just didn't compare to taylor kitchen .. see you guys Wednesday! You need a Facebook page!“

“Our first trip today and the food was amazing. Best Reuben I have had in a long time and their hand cut fries were delicious. Restaurant was clean and service was friendly and quick. Will definitely be back.“

“I live in Lansing but was visiting the area with my disabled son. A friend recommended this place to meet at and the experience was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The building is wheelchair accessible. The food was served quickly and was delicious. When I’m in the area again, I definitely will be back.“

“Update 7/10/25: We had another good experience during breakfast. Food was served quickly. My wife said the chicken and waffles was awesome. I had the same dish as before(se pics) and it was just as good as the 1st time.

Pleasantly surprised! Stopped by while our car was being serviced. Our waitress was great. Very willing to recommend items when asked. She came back to check on us several times and the food came out quick once we ordered. It was very tasty and we will be coming back.“

“I love this little gem 💎 they have the best breakfast. Gyros are good, too! No complaints. The waitresses are great to.

Vegetarian options: Best omelets

Kid-friendliness: Kids menus available

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure“

“I eat here fairly regularly. Especially breakfast. The best veggie omelet I've ever had. Coffee comes fast and often. They know my name (and I know theirs too). Good prices and they never rush me. Just wish they were open earlier and later.“

“My family and I stopped here today, during an outing along the surrounding two lakes and river. What a great atmosphere as soon as we walked through the doors - the staff all greeted us with big smiles. All of the servers were amazing, especially towards my 16 month old grandson. I will absolutely say this is a family friendly restaurant, with fantastic homestyle meals - we ordered the fish tacos, broasted chicken, quesadilla, and kid's chocolate chip pancakes. With such a good experience, we will definitely return to explore more from their menu. Thanks Mealtime Express!!“

“Great food and service!!!“

“Holy moly! Best. Chicken. Greek. Salad. Ever! We walked in and the place was packed on a Sunday at lunch, so we knew right away it was probably going to be good. But, we were blown away by the fantastic service and deliciously prepared meals. Homemade Greek dressing was amazing. My friend’s corned beef omelette was perfect, too. I had to try a bite. New ownership, but all the staff remained. Some of the waitresses have been there for over 10 years, so that goes to show they’re happy and taken care of, too. Cute uniform shirts that we recommended they should sell to the public 🙂“

“This place is pretty good they got good food good people pretty fast too. Just a good restaurant to eat at. The waitresses are very nice and the cooks are amazing. Not really a bad thing to say about this place I've been going here for years. I like the food there is a mix between Greek and American. “

“Quiet and peaceful. profession was on point.“

“Visited this bar in the off-season. The weather was chilly but still ready for a beer. Found this gem through Google Maps. I was pleasantly impressed to find Corona and generous slice of lime. That's me...happy! My husband had a Walkerville Honest Lager and a pint of Sons of Kent which was their rotating tap. He loved both! The bartender was pleasant...Abbie...and a lot of fun to chat with. We were joined by a few other people who appeared to be locals and had a great discussion between all of us about sports, local places to go an of course, the beer. Unfortunately, we didn't have time for a meal but the food looked good. Recommend finding your way over to this clean, friendly and fun place if you are visiting Amherstburg.“

“The best homemade corned beef hash anywhere. Friendly staff. Delicious every single time I go.“

“My family has been eating at Mom's for about 20 years(yummy food, sweet bar). That in itself should show how great it is. The best part? Wonderful, friendly, efficient staff. When the staff has stayed with a restaurant for many years it means the owners treat them really well.
FYI During the Covid19 pandemic the owners sent food to the essential workers our local hospital. So caring and generous?.“

“Great food, awesome staff! 👍“

“I ordered the new menu item steak and onion dinner. It came with mashed potatoes w gravy and broccoli with a side of banana nut bread. My drink was a strawberry lemonade. I was seated right away and my food took only 15 minutes at most. The dinner and drink have lots of flavor. The banana nut bread was a little too moist. I will go back again.“

“Good food, large portions, fair prices, and excellent service which is exactly what you hope to get when eating out at a local diner. Ordered our eggs over medium, and they were perfect! So many places get this wrong, but Nona's nailed it!“

“Leon’s is awesome. Love going on Sunday for their brunch buffet. Need to have lemon rice soup all week“

“My husband and I had a flamazing time. The food is excellent, the service is so friendly. our waitress was just a sweetheart. I loved the flamingo decor and the pink wall is my favorite spot to sit.. we will be back ❤️“

“great service great food .“

“The food was great. The atmosphere was ok.
As a business owner myself I understand the customers who use cc are cutting into profits. Therefore I raised my prices accordingly.t When you upcharge me I take the upcharge out of the tip. Sorry that may offend people but I wasn't told there was an upcharge before I ordered my food. Waitress should be sure to tell the customer before taking the order.“

“Understaffed, but who is not these days. Waitress did the best she could since she was only one on the floor. Pot roast is typically really good, meat was tough this time and carrots raw in the center. Omelette was runny and little filling. Typically not like this when we eat here . We will go back but was very disappointed this evening for the amount you are billed. Tipped the waitress well as she was stressed but still was smiling.“

“Everything I've Tried Here Is So Delicious. The Pork Chops Are Cooked And Seasoned To Perfection. The Gravy, Feels Like Somebody Knows Somebody That You Love. The Gravy Is So Close To Mom's The Nostalgia Of Days Gone By Will Instantly Kick In. Oh I Can't Forget The Peach Cobbler. The Closest Thing To Grandmas Since Back In The Days. I Could Go On And On About All This Good Food, But It's Best You Try It For Yourself. Family Recipes Served Up To Perfection.“
