Restaurants in Pontiac

“Just finished another amazing meal from Acres Inn. The food is so delicious!! Thoroughly enjoyed every bite!!”

“I recently visited Lola’s and had a really good experience overall. The restaurant has a clean, welcoming atmosphere with a nice ambiance that makes it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. Everything, including the dining area and the washrooms, was well maintained, which I always appreciate.

The highlight of my visit was definitely the Chicken Popcorn. I’ve tried chicken popcorn at several other places, but this one easily stands out as my favorite. It was perfectly cooked, flavorful, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. If you’re visiting Lola’s, I’d highly recommend giving it a try.

The menu itself is very tempting, with plenty of options that make you want to come back and try more. They also serve boba tea, which is a nice addition if you’re looking for something refreshing with your meal.

The staff were friendly, polite, and attentive, which made the overall experience even better.

The only downside I noticed was that it felt quite hot inside the restaurant. Since they have an open kitchen, the heat tends to spread into the dining area. I visited in the evening, and it was still noticeably warm, so improving the ventilation or air conditioning would make the dining experience much more comfortable.

Overall, Lola’s is a great place with delicious food, a clean environment, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. Despite the indoor heat, I’d definitely come back, especially for the Chicken Popcorn!”

“Perfect, friendly, very friendly, very very friendly (employes and all customers) and very good, typical and not expensive! Just perfect”

“Excellent food, atmosphere, and service. I enjoy the witty bartenders and the fishbowl of little chocolates the owner passes out at the end of the meal.”

“This place is located next to Wally’s and has a variety of food choices. We chose the chicken (pollo) tacos and the steak ( asada) tacos and they were delicious. It came with caramelized onions, regular onion and cilantro. My husband likes his with just cheese and meat and they were delicious as well. The Roja sauce has the perfect spice to it and the service was excellent. If you are near this place definitely give it a try!”

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome.”

“The awesome food and the awesome servers! ;)”

“Visited tonight with my husband. We just moved to the area and was so excited to find a wine bar close by so we had to check it out. We started with tasting 6 wines, then ordered a bottle of one of the new ones we tried. We also had a charcuterie board and some chips. Both were very fresh and delicious. Ambiance was warm and comfy, yet very chic. And staff was super friendly. Perfect for date nights! We will definitely be back.”

“We make some good pizzas.”

“Great food always, great prices on drinks, awesome service every time!”

“Best place in town karaoke on weekends and bingo on weeknights”

“The food is so good! Some of the best food in the area! Highly recommend!”

“Love love love this place! Always great food and service! One of the best places ever!!”

“Great place to eat! The lunch buffet was really good along with the Italian beef sandwich.”

“Great teas and shakes..Friendly, all around best place for Teas and shakes and extras..”

“Friendly and delicious! Try the almond crescents, old fashioned doughnuts, chocolate long johns, donetzels! Best bakery ever, in small town Pontiac. We are blessed. Better get there early!”

“Great coffee and an amazing space. I'd say that it's big city coffee in small town Illinois, but honestly it puts most coffee shops in Milwaukee and Chicago to shame. Highly recommended.”

“LISA is the best bartender y'all have ! She should be the bar owner it would prob make more money. Just leave the bar to her since the owner just runs it to the ground and clearly causes issues in the building. Lisa keep up the amazing work.”

“Ate here for the first time last night and cannot wait to go back. The food and the service was excellent. I had the brisket, mac and cheese, and loaded fries. Everything was outstanding.”

“Very nice place, amazing staff and good food”

“Nice little parlor. Friendly staff and clean environment. Was greeted and offered service right away. I prefer the smaller more private atmosphere so it was well suited.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“We order food and the pizza was burnt on top and the pieces that weren’t burnt got stuck to the top of the lid and pulled up with the lid when opening! Our garlic Parmesan chicken wings were so burnt and hard couldn’t barely chew them. They weren’t even tossed in the sauce. The sauce was all over the bottom of the box and they must’ve been put in when they were hot because the box melted and the sauce was all over the top of Our cinnamon sticks box. The cinnamon sticks were good and the cheesy nuggets were ok just not much flavor to them. Wait time wasnt bad . The staff that was working was really nice. I rate this a 6 out of 10 Hope if we try it in the future it will be better ..”

“Love older buildings and bars. Did not eat but was there for a car show. Will be back again”

“Order came quick. Pizzas were warm and delicious like most of our visits to a Monicals location.”

“Passed on their list of fancy burgers and just had a plain old cheeseburger. Guess what? It was cooked perfectly. Cold beer and the smell of pizza (I am getting pizza next time I am here) makes this a definite stopping place instead of all those fast food joints directly off of the expressway. Will keep it at 4 stars until I try the pizza.”

“Very clean inside and out. Staff is very friendly and the food tastes fresh and is correctly prepared. Would eat here again! Full DQ menu of frosts and shakes.”

“Ate here for the first time tonight, it was amazing the pulled pork nachos are delicious then I had the B&R burger with Cajun fries it was so good I highly recommend you check it out, great atmosphere as well”

“We visited tonight for the first time. We were not disappointed at all! The food was absolutely delicious! Staff were great! We will be back!”

“I took a road-trip to see a buddy in Pontiac… I mentioned biscuits and gravy and he said I had to try them here at Baby Bulls. He wasn’t wrong!! I went in to get a to-go order. Brought me my to-go coffee as I waited and they were so friendly. Next visit I’d love to dine in… such good food 😁”

“The food is amazing and well worth the stop. I’ve stopped in here many times in the past and recently the margaritas aren’t the same. The margaritas leave much to be desired. Their Patron has been played with which means they are putting well in the patron bottle or something other than top shelf, It doesn’t taste like it use to here.”

“Jimmy John's is our go to place for sandwiches and wraps. Not at all like subway, you actually get more than enough meat, etc on your sandwich. Little more than others, but, you get what you pay for.”

“Just went through drive through. Fries hot mozzarella sticks hot... sandwich so cold didn’t even melt the cheese by the time I got home. 3-26-19”

“This is probably the best Taco Bell in the country. Been eating here weekly for the last 8 months they retain their staff always get things right and are super friendly. More taco bells need to be run like this. Owners you are deciding something right.”
