“Took my wife here on a lunch date. The food was in my opinion delicious. Was only $20 for both of us. I thought it was priced very reasonable I would have paid more actually. Service was great. Not sure why this place wasn't packed on a Saturday. I made sure my tip reflected the food and service.“

“We have hosted two family bridal showers in the last 6 months. Both were wonderful experiences working with the supportive staff to ensure the showers were a magical experience for both brides. The staff was easy to work with, accommodating various requests, offering restaurant decorations and attentive during the entire event. Not only was the staff a pleasure to work with, the food was outstanding! We will host another bridal shower as soon as we have another engagement in the family!“

“good food great service loves loves the shakes ans sundies“

“Visited last nite for the first time. Met friends who came over from Laingsburg and we came from Lansing. My hubby loves gizzards. They were the first thing he saw on the menu. Thats all he needed to see. They were excellent. I had the southwest eggrolls. Loved em. We will be a more regular customer. Its a short drive and worth every mile. The service was excellent as well.“

“great burgers and service“

“We go to pretty much all the resturants in the area. This place has the best burger. Food is always good. The tables could be a little nicer. I think they are clean but always kinda sticky. Other than that, not too bad. They have keno and a self service club keno machine“

“I was at the Watershed Saturday to have drinks and dinner with my Nephew. The food and staff was amazing. Also want to give a shout out to whoever found my wallet and turn it into Sabrina. Thank you for your honesty.“

“I want to thank Terry at the Okemos, MI store for saving our family Christmas! I got there ten minutes after the store closed and I was devastated. I got on my phone to check their hours. To my surprise, someone answered the phone! When he found out I was in the parking lot, Terry came and let me in so that I could buy the ham for our party. He had to turn the lights on and reopen the register, but was nothing but friendly and cheerful! Many employees wouldn't have even answered the phone, but Terry went above and beyond. Thank you for making our family party meal a success! (By the way, the ham was absolutely delicious!)“

“The server was friendly and helpful. The food was great. The coffee was great too. She even refilled my water“

“This is my ideal place to meet up with friends or get coffee while I shop in the bookstore. It is very cozy, friendly, and convenient. The food is always good. I am so glad that this place is open following the COVID pandemic. You can also be here alone while eating and, in the meantime, reading a book or magazine.“

“Our server, Abby, was amazing. She made the experience. The food was great. Portions were actually way too big, but we have another meal now with our left overs. I would definitely recommend Chili’s in Okemos and ask for Abby. And no, we are not her family nor have we met her before. Thanks Abby!!!“

“Dinner rolls and butter followed by Blackened Salmon Bites w a nice perfectly spicy, Mango dip.
I thought I took a picture of my Perch Basket! Cole slaw, house made tartar sauce, 5 or 6 really beautiful fresh fried perch, 2 hush puppies and slaw.
My DIL got chicken and mashed potatoes! They were fluffy and white and again, real gravy.“
