22 Best American Restaurants near Bay City

“Friendly, local, tasty breakfast. Best breakfast on the Bay! Cinnamon roll is fantastic. Breakfast sandwich is a good choice for a somewhat smaller breakfast. Omelets and pancakes and everything else we've tried in multiple visits are delicious.“

“Guess we had just missed the live music. Found this place on Google and what a great neighborhood bar! Letty, our bartender, was VERY friendly, engaging and poured a good drink. Made us feel appreciated! I'm a retired bar manager over 35 years and I know great service when I see and get it! Thank you Letty! You Rock!“

“Best fries in town! And affordable delicious food, definitely in our rotation 😍“

“Great food, good atmosphere“

“The gentleman was working solo tonight on the floor. The bartender was helping where she could. It was great to see the positive attitude and team work when he clearly was getting his limits pushed. Good job!!!!!“

“we all know about Downey's cinnamon rolls but we all have been sleeping on this cheesecake!! I got one piece for my wife and it was the best cheesecake I have ever had 🤤🤤 do yourself a favor? go grab a slice ❤️“

“If I could give this place 12 stars, I would. The food was amazing, there are a lot of picnic tables to sit and chill, but the best of all is the service. Doug went above and beyond. That may have been the best service I've ever had at an eating establishment. Will definitely come back here whenever we return.“

“We had the catch of the day, which was pan seared halibut with roasted vegetables and chantarelle mushrooms in a creamy Sherry sauce. It was delicious. The service was great also. Very pleased we ate here.“

“Such great food (best ribs I’ve ever had), atmosphere, and service!“

“What a pleasant surprise! My family and I walked into this shop and were immediately greeted by Corrine, who was incredibly warm and patient, even with our large group of kids and all our questions. Her superior customer service alone is reason enough to return, but the treats blew us away. The dark chocolate and pistachio fudge were fresh and delicious, ice cream delightful and creamy, but the true standout was the white sea foam. It was hands down the best I've ever had—not too hard, not too soft, and with perfect white chocolate. It was so amazing, it might be the best thing I've eaten all year. I would love to know if you offer shipping; this treat is worth it. Seriously, please let me know if possible. 😆 Also, I notice the ice cream prices were better priced than the other shop next door. We also loved the souvenirs. My teenager and I bought matching pullovers. Overall, it was just a great shop and I'm just a satisfied customer! P.S: Go Damian Lillard/WSU!! 😊“

“Stopped in for lunch and had the yummiest fish and chips, the smash burger special, and our daughter had a huge kids pancake topped with strawberries and whipped cream. The food was amazing, and the service was even better! We will definitely be back. Our daughters already requested we make it a regular thing 🤣.“

“My friend and I stopped at the Blue Agate Cafe looking for food and a bathroom and a place to sit. We visited during Phase 1 of re-opening from Covid19. We were hungry and grubby and not from the area. But, we were met with eyes smiling from behind a mask and immediately felt at ease. After our order was placed, I asked about using the restroom facilities. I was met at the back door with a squirt of hand sanitizer so, mask on, I took care of my needs and washed with soap and running water, for 20 seconds, twice. We were offered outdoor seating in a pretty little back courtyard sheltered from the wind and full of blooming flowers. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the house made veggie burger and, as a connoisseur of veggie burgers, this was easily one of the best I have ever had. The service was friendly and just made me feel easy and welcome. Lunch yesterday was a delightful culinary and social experience. I highly recommend this small eatery to anybody wishing to be treated as family in all the best ways. Thank you.“

“Visiting from out of state, the biscuits were mile high and hardy portions, fantastic flavor and service.“

“Food was amazing and very fresh. The customer service was excellent and a good expeience overall. The fries here are some of the best I’ve had. Totally worth it to check out and get some great eats!“

“Anytime we are on vacation, we always search out the local gems for breakfast. We absolutely found it with this sweet bakery. They have the most perfect options for a quick dessert or breakfast. The breakfast sanddollars were incredible along with the blueberry muffin/biscuit. Their convenient location is a quick walk to the end on the block where the most perfect views of the beach await you. What better way to enjoy your breakfast/treat from a local bakery than watching the oceans waves! I only wish we had known about this amazing bakery on our first day! Can't wait to be back!“

“Absolutely incredible. Our server Sarah went above and beyond to bring us our food before we even had the chance to find a table and sit down. We requested more ranch and she brought us 6 more?! Incredible. Give this woman a raise. We love you Sarah ❤“

“What a beautiful space! The ambience is on point, and they handled our large group easily!

Our food was exceptional. The crab macaroni and cheese was superb! The fish and chips also really good. My group didn’t like the clam chowder, though.

Emma was our server, and she was friendly and efficient. She was also full of grace when I made a huge mistake. I had been sick for five weeks, and my brain wasn’t working right! Everything was resolved quickly and easily. She even offered me a hug (I was so embarrassed and was crying for the stress I had caused her.).

Other than my confusion/mistake, the dinner with my family of 12 was the best of our trip to the coast!!!!

We will DEFINITELY be back to this restaurant and highly recommend to others!!“

“Love this place! We go here every time we go to Rockaway Beach! ❤ Happy New Years!“

“Wonderful food, great social atmosphere, exceptional customer service, and all around a great time. If you haven’t been, it’s a must!“

“Went there for breakfast and had the breakfast burrito. I love breakfast burritos and hands down this was the best one I have ever tasted. Owners were amazing and welcoming and the food… I am tempted to do the 1.5 hour drive next weekend just to have it again.“

“It was next to our hotel so we gave it a try, and we were not disappointed! I had the chicken and chips and they weren't strips or nuggets. These were breast halves in a killer batter and deep fried. The fries were seasoned and hot. She had a shrimp basket and said it was great as well. It was close to closing, but they made us a pot of coffee anyway. The restaurant was closed, so we ate in the lounge (bar) and it was fine.“

“waitress was on point with our food drinks were great atmosphere like down home thank you Heather (bartender/waitress ) for the great food and hospitality beautiful view of the lake to?????“
