50 Best American Restaurants near White Lake

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

“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“

“My wife and I went here for breakfast. It’s our new favorite spot. Everyone was friendly and kind.
The potato pancakes were amazing!! 🤩

Julie was especially sweet and welcoming!!

10/10 we will be back again.“

“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.“

“Friendly staff and customers. The food was great. I’m visiting from Buffalo and it was my first time there with my sister and we met a lovely customer who we got to chat with and out of the blue paid for our meal. There still is good in the world. It’s refreshing to meet good people. I can’t wait to go back and try a breakfast. The menu and food is amazingly good.“

“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.👍“

“This place is amazing. They have a awesome DJ and amazing bartenders. The food is amazing also. They have karaoke on friday and saturday nights with the best DJ around and they are open 7 days a week from 12 noon to 10 pm sunday through thursday and friday and saturday from 12 noon to 2am. They are open every day of the year even every holiday including Christmas. There is no drama. Your kids can go in with you and enjoy food until 9pm. You should give it a try.“

“One of the best ever“

“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!“

“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.“

“I had the homemade pasty and it was so delicious!! The carrot cake was moist and delicious!! Definitely coming back!!“

“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.“

“Great food. Friendly atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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....“

“thanks to the bus guy for all his hard work. he got us the menu and drinks right away. he was right there to clean up the dishes when we finished his super sweet and hard working“

“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.“

“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 😀“

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesome staff and owner tried all of the breakfasts and always good! They take pride with the food they serve and have a large following of return customers. Additional parking in the back. Reasonably prices won't be disappointed.“

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

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

“We often stop in here for a cup of coffee after our workout at planet fitness next door. This restaurant is reminiscent to me of a '60s restaurant very clean inside and although they have trouble keeping help the service we have for our coffee is always good. The servers are friendly and prompt and with the cleanliness of the restaurant I always enjoy going here. Haven't tried the food yet but probably will one of these days soon.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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?“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“I'm highly recommending this restaurant. The service is great, from hosts to wait staff. Great bartender that makes impeccable cocktails. Good is perfectly cooked. Indoor and outdoor seating. Large bar downstairs. All in cozy downtown Clarkston village. Ample parking 1/4 block away.“

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

“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!“

“Delicious!! I've tried the beef and chicken. Both were great.“

“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!“

“Awesome waitresses and bartenders and of course, popcorn“

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

“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.“

“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“

“I have been to several different Leo’s in SE Michigan food is pretty consistent. great Fish and chips, Greek Salad with grilled chicken, Coneys are good. Staff and service varies, but, food is always good.

Kid-friendliness: They are set up for kids and my kids always liked the food there.“

“Hands down best breakfast around!“

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

“A big shout out to Fino’s for hosting our group of about 40 to enjoy a funeral luncheon on Sat Aug 2. The service was great, the staff were very accommodating, patient and very helpful. We all enjoyed our food. We were very pleased. Thank you Maria, waitstaff and kitchen staff. An apology to the other patrons that were in the restaurant, we were loud.“

“Friendly Staff, Great Service and Great Food!“
