“We stopped in for a quick ice cream. Minimum flavor selection, not a fan other thick hard waffle cone

We did not try the other food, but they have quite an extensive menu for take out.

Not a long wait even when there is a line (from our experience)“

“I have been to the tavern many times and have always received great service and great food at a reasonable price. Nice atmosphere.“

“Excellent restaurant in the heart of Brighton. It’s so much more than a “bar and grill.” It’s a first class establishment with a great menu and always attractive specials. Sit at the bar to hear the latest local news! Or sit outside and enjoy the Brightonian aesthetic.“

“The saganaki was really good. The service was okay though our waitress was not the friendliest person. She wasn't mean, she was just pretty dry. I had the corned beef soup. It was pretty salty but that is my fault because corned beef itself is pretty salty. The sandwiches were really good.“

“I will say the food was excellent and since I was celebrating my 40th anniversary I wanted a special drink (French 75) told them what was in it (know they google it) and accommodated me. It was a fabulous time“

“Our waitress Chrissy was phenomenal and the food was awesome“

“It's been over 2 years since my husband and I walked into the New Hudson Applebees. We wanted to try it again. We both got the 2 for 35 half rack of ribs. All I have to say is what a change in the last 2 years is amazing! All the food was hot, and the ribs just fell off the bone. They were a little short-handed in employees tonight, so our waitresses ended up being a manager, Mel, and she was fantastic. She made our night wonderful, and we will be back.“

“We had a blast performing at Bakers Of Milford last night! It's a perfect place to party, eat, drink and enjoy a live band...fabulous food and super staff! Plenty of safe lit parking in the fine community of Milford. Bakers is also well known for Sunday summer vintage car shows and its great banquet center.“

“I went to the Mothers Day Buffet on Sunday.The food was great! The service was excellent. Looking forward too next year.“

“We were staying at Microtel Hotel because my husband had to be at the VA really early in the morning. I googled the different restaurants in the area , and this one had the best reviews . We see why , the staff was friendly , the service was great and the food came out fast . My husband had the hot roast sandwich , he said it was so great !! I had a grilled salad with warm pita bread yum !! Then of course we had lemon meringue pie to finish off our meal . So you have friendly staff , great food and prices were good . Glad we tried Mark’s Midtown Coney Island !!“

“It's been a minute since I was on a roof top bar. This particular one is a two for one. The restaurant we were in on top was different from the restaurant below but owned by the same people. They both serve drinks and tapas so it's just the atmosphere you are looking for. On the way up the three flights of steps there were planters that could have been more loved. The floor was also a little strange. It was rubber squares almost felt light you were in a bounce house. The seating was nothing special. It's literally the same deck furniture would buy for your house. I had a lavender lemonade martini dad had a Coke. Again another restaurant that does not serve Pepsi products. We did not eat there. It had a great view overlooking the millpond downtown so being such a nice night it was beautiful to sit outside. The restaurant inside was intimate also known as tiny I assume because everyone wants to be on the roof. For our drinks it's $23.00

Parking: Lots of free parking but they fill up fast“

“Our service was outstanding! Maddie is the best and we will make sure to ask for her every visit! She made sure the food was perfect and was on top of drinks the whole time. We will be back.“

“If you haven't been here you are missing out. This place is EVERYTHING ❤️ Fantastic drinks, delicious food, great atmosphere, excellent service. a real Gem.“

“Was at your lnn 11 10 22 building is awesome got to meet Chris the owner super nice guy got a lot of info on the history of the building had a burger the best also my little server Annie was a sweetheart.“

“The owner and staff of Bagels and Bites are courteous, professional, & friendly. The selection and quality of bagels are top notch. I highly recommend them! 5 stars!“

“It's my favorite place to stop before going fishing at Kensington. One stop shop for anything you need. The best fried chicken and make sure to add some gator sauce. My husband love their homemade chocolate chip ? cookies. All the baite you need for your fishing needs.“

“Typical Coney Island with a classic mustang in the lobby area. Food was good. Wait staff was excellent even opening the door to help me assist my 96 year old mom back to our car. Plenty of free parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: 1 spot for handicapped in front of entrance.“

“Typically, we have a positive experience at the Culver’s in South Lyon. HOWEVER, after placing a simple drive thru order, we waited 25 minutes for the food. There were at least six other cars waiting for their orders as well. THEN, in checking the order before I drove away, I noticed the order was incomplete so went through the drive thru again. Took the manager two trips to our car BEFORE we had everything we ordered. For the delay and missing items, the manager shared two blue poker like chips and he said these are for your troubles today “boss” and walked away. It’ll be a while before we return!“

“I love that we can have a night out without breaking the bank! Great food and drink specials.“

“It was a quiet dinner, not rushed. Food was great and drinks were perfect. We will return!“

“A great menu very kind and courteous waitresses.“

“Years ago I stopped at Culver’s in Rockwall, Texas. Fell in love with the place. My wife and I are traveling this weekend and decided to stop for supper. As a former Dairyman I really appreciate places like Culver’s. The farm fresh idea is wonderful! At the Culver’s in Brighton, the staff were wonderful. Our food was the best!“

“Mark generously went above and beyond! Great guy! Fabulous Food! Entire experience from initial phone call, to accommodating delivery time, to food quality, far exceeded highest expectations. Highly recommend for single servings and catering!“

“I have been here several times but tonight my waitress was the best ever!

Her name is ‘Nic’ and I’ll come back just to be her customer again!

Great personality, fun, friendly, intelligent, delightful and a very nice person. Plus! A totally… “Yes! I can do that attitude!” Nic remembered everything. She is exceptional. Give her a raise!

FOOD:
Bun on burger was poor quality, dry. Beef was great and cooked perfectly.

TV: Hard to find game on TV. Need a channel card at table.“

“Best bar and best patio in Brighton!“

“We are season pass holders and snowboard a lot at MT B but we do love the grill. The atmosphere is pretty great and you get an up north feel. Sitting by the fire having hot chocolate or a beer with friends it's always a good time. When you can't make it out west or up north this will help you enjoy winter in Michigan a little bit more.“

“It was absolutely the best meal and service I’ve had in a long. Thanks to our server Angela. Very friendly and personable which now a days is rear. So thank you. And again the food was phenomenal. Will be back very soon.“

“Came here for the last couple of days for breakfast while working in town. I must say, this place is super delicious in every bite I’ve had. You can tell they are using nothing but top-shelf ingredients and fresh fruit to make everything sweet, but the broccoli cheddar quiche was just as perfect too. Today, I tried the beef pasties. This is so unique and perfectly executed with a balance of ingredients and spices. I had never heard of this type of food before today, but I will definitely be back later this week for another one. The staff here is very friendly and welcoming while putting out very high-quality food. I cannot envision anyone being disappointed in trying this place out!“

“Love the neighborhood bar with great food“

“Parking: This place is right off the freeway, but we had to turn around multiple times because we were looking for the famous IHOP (Internal House Of Pancake) light. They didn't have it on even though they were still open for another 2+hrs. We came in, and the place had two tables. It was pretty dead for the most part, but we had to literally walk up to the servers to inform them we were there. The server we had was really nice and fast, no compliant there. The food was great as always but something just felt weird.“

“Everytime I visit I order the salads I like the way they are presented I asked the waitress who made the salad she said his name is Richard zamborowski I think that he must be a professional chef with a presentation like those salads I hope that red Robin appreciates someone who takes the time to make a customers salad look presentable if I had someone like him working for me I would definitely pay him a really good salary“

“I was asked to review you since we were at your restaurant. Below is exactly what I posted on my page. Overall the experience was ok, but in a competitive environment that the restaurant and bars are in this will not keep you in the forefront. Unfortunately this page would not allow me to add the pics I posted as well. If you know me personally, you know we do not frequent chain stores of any kind. We typically shop and buy from local businesses. With that said, occasionally we do go to a chain business. Today we went to the Chili’s in Brighton, MI. The front door had a sign that it will slam when you come in. One of the urinals in the men’s room doesn’t work. The place is aged and it shows. This place could use a facelift if they are to compete with the other local businesses in the area. The food was good even though utensils were not provided. The beer specials are good value and the taps are producing a cold beer that tastes as it should. This is good considering many places have poor draft beer due to a lack of good maintenance programs, causing them to produce beers with off flavors. I also had a house margarita. (Pictured below in the pint glass). It was ok at best. The presentation is what you would expect. The flavor screams run of the mill drink. This is certainly not a craft cocktail but I have had lesser drinks in other places. The other drink I had was the Tequila Trifecta. (Pictured below in the rocks glass) The drink is definitely tequila forward. While it is not a balanced cocktail, it is something I would expect a corner bar to make. It was very boozy forward yet drinkable. The presentation was what you would expect for a margarita. Overall, we had an ok experience in this Chili’s restaurant. It wasn’t an experience I would not be jumping up and down for. I was not overly impressed, but I also do not have anything that would make me call the manager over to talk. So if you’re looking for an ok experience, this is the place for you. The food is decent and the drinks were ok. Nothing that will knock your socks off.“

“Our waitress was just so nice. Everything was very timely.“
