Family Restaurants near Waterford, MI

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We've had many good personal dining experiences with the Dixie Diner, so when we needed 150 piece chicken order for Mother's Day, and I knew they had chicken "buckets" on the menu, I gave them a call. We had a dilemma, though. Several of the mothers wanted non-breaded chicken, rather than the amazing broasted chicken Dixie Diner is known for (if you haven't tried it yet, it's a must do!). Long story short, Dixie Diner agreed to make 50 pieces of baked chicken - and it's not even on the menu! The ladies were blown away. We got so many compliments on it, I had to try it personally. It was absolutely delicious! Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked! Calling it amazing doesn't do it justice. HIGHEST compliments to the chef! On top of that, the service was top notch. The waitress cheerfully helped me carry five trays of piping hot chicken clear to the opposite side of the parking lot without a single complaint, and still smiling when we got there. I wish I would have gotten her name so I could thank her personally. Needless to say, this is our new go-to for our special events! Thank you SO MUCH, Dixie Diner, for making all of our Mothers feel so special. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Finos has the best food and staff around! I highly recommend. The owners are amazing and the one waiter is so friendly. I’d say it’s a hybrid restaurant. You can get breakfast all day or a filet mignon with a nice glass of wine! Five stars and even more if I could give. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very friendly waitress, good food!“

“My husband had breakfast this morning and accidentally dropped a $100 bill which he didn’t notice till late this afternoon. We decided to get a salad from there for dinner and he went inside and asked if they found his $ and they did!!!! Totally made his day! These are good people at the Green Apple and we will continue to get food from here. Aside from that the barbecued chicken salad is very good! Thank you Green Apple employees❤️“

“I would recommend going to the village grill. I went there to eat and I was greeted by a wonderful host, she had a very positive attitude and was very kind towards me. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“Great strawberry shortcake French toast! They were very short-staffed, but the whole crew got together to help the one server. Shows great teamwork. We never had to wait long for anything! Awesome salt and pepper shakers too. Each table had different and unique ones

Parking: They get really busy. You might have to park farther away.“

“Great, fun little place. Very nice inside very clean bathrooms. The waitress was absolutely a delight and very welcoming. Good food for actually a really decent price. I ended up getting a hamburger and enjoyed it. It was made very delicately and was very presentable. The presentation of the hamburger was really beautiful bruschetta. If we’re ever in the Pontiac area, this definitely will be a place that we would get another bite to eat.“
