“First time visiting, was in the area for a doctor's appointment and it sounded yummy. I ordered a Build Your Own Pizza, a variation of a BBQ Chicken Pizza. Was ready when I arrived & it was DELICIOUS! Beautifully done.“

“Can’t beat T&B!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Decided to try a calzone instead of pizza. Delivery was timely as usual. However, there was no Italian dressing included as per their menu. But more importantly, the inside of the crust was doughy. I called and immediately received full credit. I'll continue to order pizza from them which is the best,but I won't order a calzone ever again.“

“The Mushroom Swiss Burger was the best I’ve ever had, and the onion rings were perfect. They were crispy and seasoned and battered perfectly. The employees and owners were very friendly.“

“This is the best restaurant in Macomb County, except for J Baldwins of course.“

“Had THE BEST expresso martini’s here Friday night. Samantha was an amazing bartender and fulfilled my quest to find local amazing expresso martinis. It was perfection!“

“I brought my kids to this Olive Garden location, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything—from the service to the food—was exceptional.

Our server, Selena, went above and beyond. She was pleasant, attentive, and had perfect timing when checking in on us. She made sure we had everything we needed, from extra ranch to refills and endless breadsticks, all with a warm and genuine attitude. It’s refreshing to see someone who truly enjoys their job!

The food was hot, delicious, and loaded with cheese—just the way we like it. Our drinks were always full, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

The lady that greater us was so brightful and cheering and so thoughtful and passionate about your guys food.“

“I can't really speak on service and atmosphere, as I've only had their food dashed - HOWEVER! I will say that the quality has never disappointed. Especially their fries, always hot and so well made. Hands down, one of my favorites to order from!“

“Amazing food!! Amazing service!! Delicious 😋“

“My wife and I went to dinner here for our anniversary and our waiter, Darren, was fantastic! The food was scrumptious and the bartender knew her stuff! All around wonderful evening. Thank you Carrabba’s for a memorable evening!“

“I’ve always wanted to try food from Verona Inspired Italian! I regularly check out their weekly specials on Facebook and couldn’t wait to finally try them out. This was my first visit to the restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious and amazing. We started with the bread and butter- yes, we actually started there because it was that good. We even asked for another basket! Then came the Eggplant Tower, and wow - it was fantastic. I’m a big fan of eggplant, and this dish was perfection: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and pickled onion. You really need to try it to understand how good it is. For the weekly special, we had the Emperor Red Snapper. Absolutely incredible. The Tomahawk Pork Chop and the steak were both delicious as well. Our cocktails and beer were spot-on. Service? 5 stars. Thank you Joy M. The menu has so many tempting options, and we definitely want to come back and try more. P.S. That bread? We took another portion home. So good.“

“I have tried dang near half the menu and love it all. the cannoli is hands down the best I've ever had. Everyone I've encountered there has been nice and helpful. Highly recommend stopping in to this place!“

“Fabulous atmosphere, amazing authentic food, large portions, 5 star, extraordinary staff! Highly recommend this experience! Will definitely return! Thank ya'll for a wonderful evening 💕“

“An exceptional experience from the first bite to the final espresso corto. The wood oven–grilled shrimp, calamari, and octopus were a masterclass in technique—smoky, tender, and expertly seasoned to let the natural flavors shine. The fried polenta with mushrooms added a rustic yet refined touch, rich in texture and umami depth. Every element of the meal was thoughtfully prepared, balancing simplicity with sophistication. Service was swift, professional, and seamlessly attentive. A truly memorable culinary journey—highly recommended for discerning palates.“

“I stopped by the Olive Garden in Rochester Hills recently, and honestly, it felt like stepping back in time. The place looks old … not in a charming way, but more like it hasn’t been updated in years. There’s definitely a sentimental side to it, especially for someone who used to love Olive Garden, but that feeling can only carry so far.

The chain’s overall quality seems to be slipping. From the service to the food, everything felt just… average. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. You can still count on the breadsticks and salad to do their job, but beyond that, the dishes don’t have the flavor or consistency they used to.

It’s a 3-star experience for me , mostly for the memories, not the meal.“

“As an Italian, I approve! Everything was spectacular.“

“Best Italian food in MI, absolutely love their food!“

“Bravo for lunch is the best. They have decent portions and the price is reasonable. The wait staff is very friendly and efficient. Just a nice place to eat overall at The Village of Rochester Hills“

“Amazing food! Cool owner who is proud of his food …. And should be!! Best Italian around!“

“LOVE the tiramisu martini!!!! the best!!!“

“My Dad is currently in the hospital battling sepsis. We’ve had a difficult time getting him to eat. He asked for lamb chops, so my husband searched until he found Filippa’s. After hearing our story, they made his lamb chops special for him before they were technically even open. Outstanding customer service, and delicious food! We cannot thank them enough ☺️“

“Great staff and great food. Best pizza and subs around! Highly recommend this store…“

“I have only been one time before and remembered it on my way home from fishing with my son today. The food was great but the service was even better. They were very kind, laid back, and interacted with my kiddo (who is 10) so much. It was a great ending to our fishing day. Thanks Isolas! You will have a job app from him in a few years 😉“

“Best pizza in the macomb county.“

“I was craving a good homemade burek where I could just pick it up quickly on the way home and it excited me to know I can always count on Napoli’s Pizza to make them so fresh and delicious! Who’s ever making their bureks’ must’ve learned from the best because it was made exactly how it should be! I got the cheese burek and it was cooked to perfection! Thank you guys! ?“

“the best pizza around and their cauliflower crust pizza is amazing You will not even need any toppings I recommend it They're covid compliant 😷😷😷“

“I think this Jet’s location is pretty cool. I order from this place at least once a month, pick up or delivery always a pleasant transaction. The employees are professional and friendly and smile every time. The food is always exactly what I expect from Jet’s! Delicious pizza every single time I eat it. The square pizza and jet bread is my go to!“

“Lakeville Station is our go to place! The food is always on point, their staff is super friendly and their drinks... especially today made me feel like I was on an island. Tropical and on point (Mango coconut punch qnd the coconut martini was so refreshing) Love them forget 5 stars... I give the <3 <3 <3 <3 <3“

“I recently ordered from Jet's Pizza, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations! The deep-dish pizza was perfectly cooked with my favorite crust the Turbo and Cajun crust if you haven’t gotten a flavored crust from here yet your missing out. The toppings were generous and fresh, especially the pepperoni, which had a deliciously savory flavor. The customer service at this location is top-notch friendly staff and quick delivery. Jet's Pizza is now my go-to for pizza. Highly recommend!“

“everything was so delicious from start to finish and the server and the service was excellent and I definitely come back again in the future so thanks Buddy’s pizza I had a great time Allison. F“

“Friendly people greet me every time I come in to pick up a Doordash order. It always smells so great in there that it makes me want to order for myself. None of my customers have ever complained about their orders. This Pizza Hut is always on time and ready for me to pick up.“

“Great choice for what may be the last restaurant we eat at for a while!“

“10/10. I'll never order from any store but this one. Great service, great people, best tasting pizza wings. Very helpful!! I made a mistake with my order and they help me fix it with no problems. Manager is a great dude, 10/10 recommend. Can't find service like this anywhere anymore!!!“
