New American Restaurants near Oakland, MI

“Just tried The Oakland Kitchen & Bar for the first time and it was honestly wonderful! My family always wants to go to the Chop House for steak and I just hate the dark/dingy atmosphere. This place was so cute and I loved all the plants! Our food was great, steak was cooked perfectly, and our server Cade was super attentive and friendly. Another plus- I’m gluten free and didn’t feel restricted at all by the menu. I would 100% come back.“

“Best selection in town. No one has more allocated bottles than Alan“

“Today was our first time visiting your restaurant. What a fantastic experience! Food was hot, plenty and comfort food. We joined the clean plate club and were full for the rest of the day.“

“Food is excellent with lots of selections. We had breakfast. The inside is very nice. The service was better than excellent. Not only was our server attentive without being annoying, but other servers in the area topped off our coffee.My only deduction is that it was dark where we were seated.“

“Usually pretty good, except today, very bad service. Inattentive waitress, not checking on table, sat without coffee refill, or never asked if I needed anything. Never checked on my table. I asked another waitress if she could help me, and she just snapped back “oh, you want your waitress?”, um yea, I never asked that. I had to go the front to get my bill. I’ve started going there as a regular, since I’m new to the area, but not sure now if I’ll return.“

“Everyone is friendly food is great“

“We LOVED the Reuben eggs rolls. My husband and I shared them and it was filling enough to be a meal for us. We each had a happy hour drink and so for the two of us, our total bill was $22. Not bad! We also got to sit outside by the “waterfall”. Bitter Tom’s is a great local restaurant.“

“We've eaten here many times, but recently made reservations for me and my wife for her birthday. The food and service are spectacular. I can't have gluten, and they do a wonderful job making my food safe (some dishes are already GF and others need modification...the service staff is very knowledgeable and helpful). The wine selection is excellent as well. We had a wonderful time and my wife loved having her birthday dinner, and desert there.“

“We are regulars at Stuffed Bun and can’t imagine not spending our Sunday morning with them. The food is always excellent and the staff make us feel like family. The food is delicious and portions are generous. A few of our favorites are the country omelette, breakfast burrito, cinnamon pancakes and chicken Greek salad. 5 stars ⭐️“

“What a fun experience! The food was great, and got delivered to us very quickly despite the restaurant being fairly packed on a Friday night. The atmosphere was quite enjoyable, and our waitress Heather was very attentive and did a great job.“

“Wonderful lunch spot. We shared a chicken Philly pita sandwich and fries. Daughter had a BBQ chicken wrap. All was delicious. We are full and ready to shop. Very kind staff and extremely quick service. Great sandwiches and crispy fries. ❤️“

“My family went here for my brother's rehersal dinner. Every interaction my mom had with the restaurant was great. I also had great interaction on the phone and in person when I asked about accommodations and allergy protocols for celiac/gluten-free. When we ordered my daughter's food they were aware, and took it seriously. They communicated well with us. Was able to answer my questions (tortilla chips made in house but shared fryer)... My daughter was able to enjoy a meal with us instead of feeling left out. Definitely recommend.#celiacawarenessDietary restrictions: Df and GF“

“Food is amazing like home cooking, gourmet style... you can tell they put the love and passion into their art/craft. In my opinion such a fair price to keep a customer coming back to there outstanding flavors. I have been there 6 times in the past 3 months have had something different every time and it always has coming back for more. Awesome whisky/beer/ &wine selection as well...“

“One of my favorite places to get dinner and definitely my top place to go when I'm craving Italian food. Drinks are great and there's a great wine selection to choose from. Service goes the extra mile and it's a cozy place located right in Downtown Rochester. Love this place!“

“My father introduced me to Lucky’s and they have become my favorite restaurant. They are worth driving 30 minutes for a fantastic meal.“

“The food was very delicious and in huge portions! I was very satisfied with the size, quality, and deliciousness of the food for the cost. It is a little pricey compared to other places in the area, but the quality and portions make it worth it.The only real issue we had was our server, who was new on the job. I'm not sure if they do not provide great training or what the issue was. She did not know how to ring in any of the happy hour specials. She was not very friendly, as well as very short and unpleasant. I understand being new, but when you don't know how to do something and just walk away mid taking an order with out explaining why you did it is terrible customer service. This happened multiple times through out the 4 people at our table ordering. I'm going to assume it was a training issue because she seemed clueless, but trying her best and almost frustrated with the situation she was in.“

“A rainy, gray, spring day just screams for comfort food. So I located the closest Coney Island because chili is most assuredly a comfort food.The server greeted me warmly as soon as I entered and got my menu and drink order immediately. With every interaction she had a legitimate smile on her face. Love dealing with people who enjoy their work.A couple of coneys ordered and some slaw to go with.Coleslaw was creamy, sweet, a little under seasoned, could've used some pepper or poppy seed. Quantity isn't great for $2 but decent.Coneys are good, hot, soft steamed buns.My only complaint: everything is served to go even down to the brown paper bag. And all the containers are plastic & styrofoam.Parking: Seems a lot of their business is carry-out so parking is no issue.Kid-friendliness: It's a diner, the munchkins will be fine.Wheelchair accessibility: Good amount of space but the parking lot is a bit rough.“

“My 7-member family celebrated my husband’s birthday here and it was 5-star all the way…our server Michelle was so attentive, our drinks were never lower than half full, and she was so friendly and pleasant she took pictures of us. I foolishly forgot to take food pictures, but it was all great, visually appealing and delicious and everyone was extremely satisfied!“

“Tuscan Veggie burger with a side of homemade applesauce!!!! INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!!! I was told that the BLT my partner had was also incredible!! the prices are barely high at first menu glance but when I say THEY FEED YOU I mean I almost had to leave my stomach behind to make it home!!! Really great cook with really great food!! Accommodating to dietary restrictions and personal preference and everything!! This guy LOVES cooking for people and it shows!!All of the servers I met are friendly and sweet and attentive as well!! Pretty silly too!! very nice dining experience!!Be mindful that it may take a minute or two to get a table and be helped, as they can get quite packed and the staff can only clear tables so fast (if you’re looking for something super fast though, maybe don’t go the diner route in general) but I didn’t find there to be a very long wait for anything!Would CERTAINLY recommend if you’re looking for a nice place to sit and eat good food and feel okay :)SIDE NOTE: there are also tables tucked near the entrance if you need accommodations for seating as well!! (walkers, wheelchairs, stroller, etc.)relatively sensory friendly! the loudest thing in there would probably be other patrons instead of music and clattering (not that that doesn’t ALSO happen sometimes) there are tables and booths that are more secluded if you get anxious, and the staff is once again, very nice!Very good stuff, thank you Four Corners“

“French onion soup wasn't bad, just a little salty.Entrees were good, charbroilled salmon and white fish were great, chicken Diablo was good and a little spicy.Ceasar salad was good.The both was ok, except the seats aren't padded, so it wasn't very comfy.Taylor the hostess was very nice and professional.I recommend this place, keep in mind, it's a little on the pricey side.“

“One of my favorite places in town best food best service“

“Visited a few months ago and was impressed. Recommend the Skillet Bowls, but everything has been excellent. I don't have to remind how to cook eggs over-easy, they get them perfect, no browning or plastic edges. No complaints from staff, no problem modifying omelets, or bowls. They even brought a side of crepe cheese for my nephew who ordered his crepes wrong.“
