50 Best American Restaurants near White Lake

“So let me start of saying I do not leave reviews barely ever, but this restaurant right here is just amazing. Especially the server Lisa. You will be super lucky if you get her to serve you. She is on top of stuff. She was quick loving always has a smile on her face. This is my second time here and this is now my favorite restaurant. She even went as far as asking if I wanted her to butter my French toast for me and when I was done she even put everything in to go containers. I also was a pain and wanted to eat outside where there is two tables but not frequently used so there is nothing on the tables like jelly sugar menus etc. She goes out of her way to set it up for me with a smile on her face. The food is excellent I got French toast and county skillet and man the food is amazing for a decent price. You get better food and a lot more food for the price of a McDonald's meal. Seriously you have to try this out. Ask for Lisa I assure you, you will not regret it. Tell her tija said hi“

“Great place I have lot birthday holiday party memories there. Great staff and great food.“

“This reimagining of Ripples of the Lakes restaurant is a very pleasant place with a great atmosphere for friends, family, and even business dinners. If you remember the old location, the bar has been extended quite a bit many with many more bar side seats compared to before.
My wife and I found the food to be exceptional, although at a very exceptional price for what was provided.
The staff was friendly and very helpful, although I'm not sure all of them completely understood English, as we did have some conversational issues with some of them.
Overall, this is a very nice place with quality food and a nice atmosphere, I would recommend a dinner here anytime if price is no concern.“

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

“The bartender was great. We couldn’t understand why most tables were empty and we had a 45 minutes to 1 hour wait. The bartender told us we could sit at a table and she would serve us. We were the only table for 30 minutes inside and at least 3-4 tables were empty outside with 5 servers. I remember pre-COVID the place was always packed, inside and out. I could understand the wait then.“

“Great restaurant for my family of five. Food was hot, salad bar was fresh, and the brownie will change your life! The new owner is so personable and made us feel welcomed the second we walked in the door - we will definitely be back!“

“Love it here great vibe!!!!“

“I always enjoy dining at Leo’s Coney Island. My daughter and I go there a few times whenever I’m visiting the area. The staff has always been great to us.👍“

“I’ve been coming to OBrady’s for 4 years now, I love the bartenders, the food, the vibes especially karaoke nights every Friday’s & Saturday’s! Holiday parties are even better! Thank you miss Emily, for welcoming me & making sure I’m comfortable. 🍹🎤“

“Best food in the town love the food“

“One of the best ever“

“The staff was nice and fun, me and my son ordered the seafood gumbo, the crab and crawfish étouffée, and the fried catfish, the gumbo’s flavor was comforting and had a kick, the étouffée was nice and spicy and the catfish’s skin was crispy and the meat was tender. The owner is very nice and personally makes sure you have everything you need. I will come back to this restaurant many times.“

“I’ve been going to Wall for over 40 years. It’s now my Kids Favorite Place. Make sure you get the chili cheese fries and the soup for winter. Deanna really makes the place. Cash only. 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!“

“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, great atmosphere, good prices. This food is some of the best food around. It's far closer to homemade than generic store bought restaurant fare. Very much enjoyed the staff as well. HIGHLY Recommended.“

“Amazing food, and super friendly staff! perfect spot to take the family for a great meal! 10/10“

“Great food. Friendly atmosphere.“

“Best breadsticks on the planet! Great place to take the family out for dinner.“

“They came to our hosptial for nurses week. It was so good! Highly recommend and they did great with the large crowds 😊“

“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.“

“The Fed Community offered an amazing experience with excellent food and top-notch service, all in a relaxed yet elevated setting. The ambiance made it perfect for a quiet romantic dinner, making the evening even better. Everyone from the floor managers to the Chef checked in frequently on us, and Levi provided excellent service. On the food: everything had a great balance of flavors, textures, and presentation. We started off with bread service, all freshly baked, clam chowder soup and Spanish Octopus, followed by perfectly seared scallops. The Gnocchi Saltado also blew me away with the perfectly tender yet firm gnocchi and woodfire grilled tenderloin tips. For sweet endings we finished with a delicate Banofee Pie and the their Opera cake; kudos to their pastry Chef and team for these as well! We came for a quiet night out, and left with great memories! This was well worth the trip, and we'll be back soon. I apologize for not having any pictures, but I was too busy soaking it all in.“

“Wow,we got a carry out of Baker's, grilled chicken cesar salad and it was AWESOME!!,we loved the grilled chicken, it was flavoured well ,moist and tender,, great service and such friendly staff!!!“

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

“I love everything about Biff's! They have an incredible menu with so many delicious meals to choose from, the service is wonderful and friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. In addition to all of that, the prices are very reasonable. I can't wait to go back.“

“Great local diner with solid conies. Very keto and carnivore friendly allowing you to order just the Coney's without the bun.
Add the regular Coney with their house gumbo. Their gumbo had a different twist on it then a regular New Orleans gumbo, but it was still delicious.
The waitress was super friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable.“

“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!“

“Have a good night of poker while you benefit a local charity. It is a double WIN!“

“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.“

“I am absolutely in love with this place! All the ladies that serve on you up front are such sweethearts! There is a certain server I get served on by every time I'm there that has such a warming smile. She is usually there in the morning. She has long blondish hair and usually wears a ballcap. She makes my experience great and makes me feel very comfortable! The food is outstanding, and you get it in a reasonable amount of time!“

“Amazing food! Everything is fresh and homemade. I love the reuben sandwich and came back St Paddy's for the corned beef and cabbage meal. The pizza is also some of the best I've ever had in Michigan. Shout out to Shanna (*Flower) for being an amazing waitress.“

“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!“

“maybe it's my fault for not paying attention. Just walked in from the howell location. so, was there at like 610pm. I ordered a full bag, and ranch. she gave me a half bag, and no ranch. I come here all the time, and I've never had this happen before. I'm a cook. I work as a cook professionally. I understand having a long day, or just a bad one. but come on. 10 dollars for half a bag of bread sticks and no ranch?“

“Best ribs I’ve had in a long time, great food decent service prices are in line with other good pub food places we will be back!“

“Been going here for along time! Definitely recommend!“

“Outstanding coney. So much more than franks!! I would absolutely pass other coneys to come here! Trust me it's double the quality for half the price... to support the nicest people. ❤️“

“We came here for a rehearsal dinner and we were in a private room. I was surprised that everything was on point, even with the restaurant being so busy . The food was delicious. Myra and Ashley were our waitresses and they were on top of everything . They even helped set up . We definitely will be coming back 😀“

“Everyone here is amazing 10/10 go go go!“

“Both Alex and Kennedy are the bomb! Great customer service which have made me a regular!“

“Great food and service! We 💜 going to Mel’s. Thanks Jovona for making it so special!“

“Food is decent and they always seem to have plenty of employees working to support both inside orders and the drive-thru. Everyone is friendly. The dining room is comfortable and in good clean condition with different nooks to sit in. In my opinion, the food is a higher quality than something like McDonald's. Quality meats, fish, etc“

“had such a wonderful experience at J. Alexander’s! From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Every single especially ally the waiter! we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and professional — they made sure our drinks stayed full, our food came out perfectly, and that we had everything we needed without even having to ask.

The manager also stopped by our table to check in and personally make sure we were enjoying our meal, which really made us feel valued and appreciated. It’s rare to see a team work so well together to create a seamless dining experience, and they truly nailed it.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was absolutely top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending J. Alexander’s to friends and family!“

“Awesome waitresses and bartenders and of course, popcorn“

“Perfect one stop shop before you head into Kensington or just on your way to or from somewhere. They have everything you need and then some. Need beverages and a cooler? Got it! You wanna throw some disc golf discs? They have hundreds to choose from. Starving? Their homemade, delicious food is affordable and portable! Wanna play putt-putt? You can do that too! Love this place, so glad they rebuilt after the fire.“

“Friendly Staff, Great Service and Great Food!“
