“A charming throwback to the good old days of cafe/diner. Modern twists on timeless classics...burgers, wraps, sandwiches, awesome fries and coffee. Milkshakes made in a metal cup and served the remainder with the shake. Just like old days. Friendly wait staff. Decent price point. Immaculate restrooms. Lovely experience.”

I make it a point to stop in whenever I am in the area.Parking: Street parking is usually available. And there is parking in the back.Kid-friendliness: My kids love to sit at the window.”

“The staff is super friendly and service was fast even with a full restaurant. We got a bacon double cheesburger, a side of clam chowder soup, and the cheeseburger chips. All of it tasted amazing and fresh. My husband was pretty fond of the clam chowder and their sweet tea, I really liked the housemade chips. And best of all are their super reasonable prices!Kid-friendliness: They have crayons for kids and kid menu items. There were plenty of families dinning in.”

“I’ve been here a couple times but I just went in the other day for lunch and I just wanted to say that I had probably the BEST salad I’ve ever had in a long time! The ingredients were fresh and I feel like you absolutely get your moneys worth there! My server was excellent and it had a great atmosphere. 12/10. For anyone who wants to know which one I got it was the salmon salad! Also got the brew sticks which are also super delicious!”

“I'm a really plain eater and not a huge fan of most chinese food but... I absolutely love their general tso chicken and fried rice! If you are a picky eater and want to try someting new, just try it. especially here. Prolly the best general tso in the area. For someone that has no idea what it is, the closest I can compare it to is boneless bbq wings?”

“One of the best around. We have never left feeling disappointed, and certainty ever left hungry. The staff are friendly and inviting. The food is great. Wonderful beverage options.”

“Had a craving for a shake I found these guys on Google the server was very kind helpful and informative about everything they have I got their strawberry crunch bar shake and it’s absolutely delicious i definitely recommend trying this place”

“LOVE the food. Love the service. The prices are way cheaper than Cancun Mexican Grill on the other side of town. I absolutely love their chips and salsa and wish that they were unlimited. But it does make sense from a business perspective. That is why the overall dinner price is cheaper than at other restaurants. I am not hungry when leaving. Great portions. Fast service.”

“I did an online order tonight and had delivery. I messed up my order by accidentally deleting the wrong thing. I called back up and reordered my pizze and they expedited my delivery, getting it to me in half the time they said it would be. Thank you for your kind service and for getting our pizza to us quickly!”

We don’t live here, but feel like way know a lot about the drama and gossip of Alma, thanks to the friendly and colorful patronage of the Pine Knot ????During the summer, there is a patio out back which is a nice image to relax with a drink. Inside there is a jukebox and a pool table.The drinks are strong and cheap, the patrons are entertaining, the staff is attentive, and the vibe is everything you’d expect from a dive bar in Alma, Mi.Parking: There’s street parking on one side, and a parking lot on the other.Kid-friendliness: This is a bar. Don’t bring your kids to the bar ?Wheelchair accessibility: There are tables (as opposed to booths) and it’s located on the first floor”

“Sweet Lilly’s Cakes provided a small 2-tier cake(cherry chip with vanilla buttercream) and 300 cupcakes(chocolate, vanilla and cherry chip with vanilla buttercream) for my wedding in July 2023. Cake tasted phenomenal and the presentation was beautiful. I gave faux florals for her to work with and asked her to surprise me and it turned out better than imagined. Was always punctual with communication and answered any questions we had. I couldn’t have asked for a better small business to provide my wedding cake. Would recommend to anyone for all your cake needs!”

“TLDR: This is exactly what you’d expect out of a pub atmosphere with pretty great craft beers on tap. I liked and will most likely returnWe didn’t eat here but the beer was good! We had “The Wife is Calling”, “Straight CA$H, Homey” and “Raisin Hell”- all really good beers on tap! Met some fun people, and spent a couple hours hanging out. The atmosphere is what you’d expect from a bar/pub and the staff is friendly. The bathrooms were clean and comfortable and so was the overall size of the place, as well as the bar stools.Parking: Free street parking- we walked from our hotel”

“Me and my sister love coming here when we're in Alma! We used to do the fast food stores but then discovered this place. The workers are super friendly and the food is the Best I've ever had! When u drive up, it looks kinda iffy. I get the Italian Cheese Bread and my sister gets the bread sticks. I'm telling u, they are hands down the best ever!”

“Pizza ? Sam's brings back soooooo many wonderful memories for me. When I lived in Alma and St. Louis, this place was an icon. You couldn't out do Pizza Sam's. The decor didn't change in the last 40 years and that's ok. From the swordfish on the wall to the mints on the counter, this place is the real deal.”

“Best buffet I've seen around here since moving here two years ago. We were super hungry, and it was almost closing time, but they were very gracious and even cooked us up something fresh for the buffet! You guys are awesome! Thank you so much! We will be back!”

“A great place to get a coffee! The Baristas and really helpful and courteous, and the prices are pretty reasonable! I also love how aesthetically pleasing the inside is! The only thing I dislike is how the drive thru/parking is set up, but I believe that is out of this location's control so just be mindful when entering and exiting the area! All on all, this is my favorite place when I want to treat myself!”
