50 Best American Restaurants near Sylvan Lake

“One word for tonight’s experience: luscious! Fall-inspired cocktails, bone marrow on pumpernickel toast with greens, grilled pork chop with apple slaw, honeynut squash fettuccine with pickled mushrooms, brussels sprouts with pancetta & blue cheese, and my favorite - mushroom risotto. I loved the variety of layers in each dish. You can combine different components within each dish and get a new delicious bite. Friendly and knowledgeable server (Crystal), beautiful restaurant and grounds. I highly recommend and look forward to returning.“

“Best restaurant around with the great food! Breakfast is my favorite there!“

“Great food, people, atmosphere & entertainment. Right on the corner, right on the price, right on the way home“

“Responding to Caleb Woody. I watched the entire incident you complained of. You were rude and abrupt with the staff let alone you pulled in the parking lot driving like no one else's life matters. Mind you the food is marginal, it's a coney. But overall the staff is usually polite and efficient. Anyone who would be treated like you addressed that young lady would get an attitude. I am sure if you spoke with people at your work like that it would not be well received. Treat others like you expect to be treated regardless of your station in life. It will go much better.“

“220 in general is pretty great all around. Ambiance is top tier, food and drinks are great, service is spot on as well. However, a big reason I still go is because I know it's in good hands with Mekhael. I know what to expect when I go because I know he's running a tight ship. Always takes care of his people and it's obvious. Good on 220 for choosing such a phenomenal manager to run that establishment!“

“The brisket is the best anywhere. We love the homemade potato salad. The grown up mac and cheese is delicious. The service is always perfect. We were just there and we've been going there since it opened. Olivia was an excellent server.“

“Always loved the "Grill" for breakfast now it's open till 8:) All the food is excellent especially the Greek Fries (french fries red onion feta & house made creamy Greek dressing) The staff is delightful and the customers diverse. Everyone is welcome. Our favorite family restaurant!“

“Gave this place a try I was Impressed staff is great menu lots of great things to try prices are very reasonable“

“Great food and great service!“

“Bourbon Street offers quality food with generous portions and great taste! There's something for everyone. My favorite is the Chicken PoBoy. It was enough to have two meals worth. They just started making mac and cheese - make sure you give it a try! It's baked with a great cheese topping and is a great side to whatever dish you choose. Check it out if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed!“

“I can't recommend the Sunrise Cafe enough. Stopped in on a whim for breakfast while on a family adventure and everyone left happy and full. The menu is extensive and everything was freshly made and very yummy. But what really put it over the top was the service! From the greeting at the door, to the prompt attention, and one of the best servers ever! 10 out of 10! We will be back!“

“In town for a hockey camp and stopped for breakfast to fill my 14-yr old's belly. The food and service were excellent! My son asked to come back again the next day!“

“Our go to spot for the soups n salads...Staff is cool and takes care of you...Just a cool little spot for some home cooking....“

“Great food and value. The omelette and crepe chef was very friendly and made the experience better. The wait staff should show up a little more frequently.ni know it is a buffet but still keep water full. They don't hav much to do and I felt I overtopped for the service provided.“

“Great place, good food, friendly staff.“

“Most reliably awesome food for decades. I would come here with my mom as a kid and how most nostalgia-chases miss, this one remains! Jerry would work the line himself, and his son does now, always ensuring perfection. Can't say enough good things.“

“Excellent food as always and the service is A-1“

“We are regulars at Stuffed Bun and can’t imagine not spending our Sunday morning with them. The food is always excellent and the staff make us feel like family. The food is delicious and portions are generous. A few of our favorites are the country omelette, breakfast burrito, cinnamon pancakes and chicken Greek salad. 5 stars ⭐️“

“Stopped into Alberts today for a burger an fries. Great food! Excellent and friendly service, and a decent price. What more could you ask for! Stop by when you are in Auburn Hills. You can even eat inside unlike some of the other local places!“

“Always awesome, staff and managment. First choice restaurant in white lake .“

“We had 29 seniors eat here on Saturday, May 4th. The food was delicious and served fast! Gabby was our server. She was accomodating and very cordial. I highly recommend this restaurant and will return the next time we are in the area. Thanks for great service!“

“My husband and I went to Shift yesterday for dinner and it was fantastic. Scott and Matt provided great service. Everything we ordered was fantastic. I got 2 drinks (the color red and the espresso martini) and had the shift fries and lamb lollipops. My husband also ordered the filet tips and lamb lollipops. It was all excellent. We also happened to come during happy hour and they had live music. We will definitely be back for more.“

“Decided today that as much as we enjoy lunches and dinners at Bill's, I have finally become overwhelmed by the Excessive Noise level, that one must put up with while trying to enjoy the food and conversation with Friends. After complaining, on numerous occasions, We have decided to remove Bill's from among our favorites list.“

“Awesome restaurant great food and the owner is a great man.“

“Overall, the interior is very nice. The odd part is that some of the tables with the best view of the restaurant if you look one way also have a kitchen view if you look the other way. The tables are right next to a glass wall with the kitchen right on the other side. Who wants to look into a kitchen or have the kitchen workers literally standing over you at a nice restaurant? It's so odd because the restaurant is so nice otherwise. Hide the kitchen; don't make it a stage everyone can see. Other than that, the food is good and, if you turn your head the right way (away from the kitchen), the restaurant is really nice.“

“Everything my girlfriend and I have eaten here has been great. Owner and his brother are very nice! ❤️ I’d still eat her twice a week if I was still in Pontiac :c“

“go there and they are amazing food is good and the service is real good even the owner is so humble love going over there when I have my free Sundays from work #1 place for me“

“I haven't been here in a few years. our burgers were great. we will be back soon for the wonderfully priced fish dinners“

“This restaurant hits the trifecta! With it being increasingly more difficult to afford a nice dinner out, I recommend you spend your money here for a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the menu is beautifully done with unique, but familiar choices. Eileen, our waitress added a professional and fun touch with her wit and recommendations. I ordered the Marcona almond crusted lamb chops - delicious! She accommodated my 94-year old mother who requires a low sodium diet, and checked with the chef to customize a meal to her needs while making it delicious and appealing. It was pure joy to eat here. We will be back and will recommend to family and friends!“

“Very friendly staff, efficient and excellent food.Highly recommended the Green Apple.“

“Salt & Ko was amazing! Their presentation was exquisite and the food divine. You could tell the ingredients were fresh and everything was perfectly cooked. They had tremendous variety of delicious dishes to meet the range of dietary restrictions. All that said, my favorite was the chicken and waffle to go containers they provided at the end. The entire staff was incredible — so kind and efficient throughout the night but my hero is the person who gave me an extra to go waffle box. (: Thanks so much for helping to ensure our friends had the wedding of their dreams and making this one of the best I’ve ever been to! Cheers and much success to you all~“

“Friendly waitress and great with guiding us on our first visit. We had a bowl and a warp, both were delicious. The fresh hot pita was AMAZING!! We ordered the loaded hummus to go, it looks divine!“

“Came in here after a long day of work. George, the mastermind of a cook, recommended a jalapeño burger. I'm a finicky cook myself so agreed to try it. It was honestly the best burger I've had in years! I highly recommend it. Service was amazing to top it all off.“

“Outdoor dining, fast waitress, and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in my grilled cheese. Not what I expected. Bread was so HARD. Definitely not worth over $17. Mac and cheese had a really great crust and my boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork though!“

“Amazing dinner on a whim on our way home from Detroit. Everything (service, atmosphere, food, prices) was better than we could have hoped for. We will go out of our way to eat here again. Thanks for a great experience!“

“Delicious! Make your own salad was wonderful with lots of good ingredients.“

“This is a great store! You feel welcome as you get greeted in. A lot of customers are known by name, and you can tell the owners care and get to know everyone. This place has probably over 1000 different varieties of spirits and if they don't have what you're looking for they'll get it for you. The owners are still chipping away at renovating but it's coming together nicely.“

“Highly recommend! Food and Service are GREAT!!“

“My husband and I have been coming here every week for awhile & we have left happy & full every single time. The menu has something for everyone & the waitresses are beyond wonderful.“

“We had lunch here and enjoyed our food. Wait staff was very attentive, filled our water glasses, checked to see how the meal was going and brought us the check early since we had plans immediately following lunch. Both the Grench Dip and Cheesesteak are excellent.“

“So I used to get lunch from here back in the early 90s when I worked next door at Atlas Food Land, I've been back a few times over the years, and this time, I brought my daughter and her reaction to the place was asking me if we could start going here more frequently, the bacon cheeseburger is my favorite, but you definitely can't go wrong ordering the breakfast.“

“My husband and I ate breakfast at L George's in one city and paid $17.78, and the next day we went to eat breakfast at another L George's in another city and paid $30.46 for the same meals both days!! We still enjoyed our trip visiting family and friends ????“

“I’m going to be honest, the food was good for what it was, I mean this isn’t fine dining. I’m giving 5 stars because of the server and the guys making the food. The server was friendly and efficient, a real nice lady. The guys making the food are pure entertainment. I felt like I was listening to the guys working in the kitchen from “The Bear”. (one sounds just like Richie) I learned so much about them in the 45 minutes I was there. ?“

“The Food and Service was EXCELLENT“
