“probably the best bakery I've ever been to the donuts and baked goods are so amazing I just left there and had to leave a review because wow this place is a must try. I go here almost everyday and will continue to because of how welcome they make you feel but also because of there amazing bakery and there 100 percent authentic Mexican food”
“Jason helped me plan and deliver a lunch for a staff of 100 educators at the end of the school year. We provided delicious food for a good price and had plenty left over for staff members to share with families back at home. I highly recommend working with Zara for your next event.”
“Came here for dinner with my sisters. We all enjoyed our meals and our waitress and all staff we encountered were amazing.”

“If you show up to buy your ticket in person they will rip you off. If a show is $20 online with an $8 fee why would you charge me $32 at the door? Your formula doesn’t make sense. Charge the ticket price at the door and bypass the online fee structure? No charge more than the ticket with fees at the door? Yes. Its a practice that I hate”
“I travel often, and no Chimichanga I’ve tried compares to the one here. The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and the quality is unmatched—even among top chains. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this spot. Just be warned: it’s hard not to clean your plate!”
“10 year later review: This place is even better than when it was Mi Zarape, so I’m changing it to a 5. It is way better than Cantina El Dorado in Auburn Hills (especially the basic margarita). Service is always great and we get in and out fast.
Outdated 2015 Review: Food is great. They are very friendly and cater to our 9 month old. I recommend the burrito Zarape.”
“The food was excellent
The food was cook fresh it came out hot delicious .very huge portion size
We got the quesabirra and Cuban torta
Steak tacos 🌮 corn 🌽 on cob to corn
They have many types of ice cream and mix Drink .fruits and ice cream items
Fruits and cold ice Drink. Many flavors to choose from
It is not a big place 4 table i think
I like the decor atmosphere here.
Doesn't look fancy or new from outside, but the food is the main thing
It is located next to the pb gas station
Yes, if you see 2 young teenager girl helping you be fools, they can cook
Give this place a try if you're in the Pontiac area and love Mexican food
We definitely will be back”
“Everything about my experience with Happys was great, including the friendly service, but I always request my pizza to be well done and it hasn't been cooked long enough after 3 visits. Taste, quality, both were a light in the dark places of bad take out pizza ... I have been ordering the 2 x large special for $31.79 out the door.”
“I just had the best chicken sandwich the new grilled or savory chicken sandwich I can't remember but that boy was bad the best chicken sandwich in that ... I have had at the castle don't let the over size chicken breast fool you the sandwich is amazing the customer service was good it does take a little bit in the line but I sure they cook the food form frozen so it going to take a little longer not like bk or MC D's cook and put in the warmer”
“This is a very classy place for the staff. Ah, very nice. They have pretty good food. Nice place to take your wife on a date for your girlfriend. People friendly.Let's crawl. I love it”

“Hands down by far the best food in Pontiac and the surrounding area, whatever these guys are doing they need to keep doing. The people who work there are nice n friendly the establishment appears to be very clean and just overall a great experience. If you haven’t had this places food yet I highly recommend it”
“I have been going to Bob's Super Chief since the 70s when it was on Telegraph at Dixie Highway. Best footlong coneys I've ever had. Their Tandem is the best. Will be making a 3 hour trip again soon.”
“Came in here after a long day of work. George, the mastermind of a cook, recommended a jalapeño burger. I'm a finicky cook myself so agreed to try it. It was honestly the best burger I've had in years! I highly recommend it. Service was amazing to top it all off.”

“I'm from upstate NY and was in the area for work training, looking for a good lunch spot. Within 2 steps in the front door, I knew I was in the right place. It was very clear that this is where the neighborhood locals eat. My coworker and I were quickly greeted by one of their great employees and our order was taken at lightning ⚡ speed. I've been here now on 4 different occasions with months in between and every time, I swear it's the best damn bacon cheeseburger I've ever had every single time. Not to mention the addictive and delicious mountain of fries served with it. I wouldn't change a thing about this place, and I make sure to stop if I'm ever in the area!
Sidenote - I won't even tell anybody at my training the name of it or where it is because I don't want my favorite lunch spot to get too blown up. IYKYK??”
“We ordered a Detroit Style deep dish BBQ Chicken pizza.
It was excellent! They use delicious, high quality BBQ sauce and superior quality toppings.
The crust had an excellent crust too (we choose plain but they have some flavored crust options too.). Great bacon!!
Will be back again - regularly. Very happy with the pizza.”
“So I used to get lunch from here back in the early 90s when I worked next door at Atlas Food Land, I've been back a few times over the years, and this time, I brought my daughter and her reaction to the place was asking me if we could start going here more frequently, the bacon cheeseburger is my favorite, but you definitely can't go wrong ordering the breakfast.”
“I grew up in Michigan, and Leo’s is literally my hometown favorite. I have NEVER gotten such big portions at a Leo’s, this place is incredible. Haven’t been to this location, but seriously my new favorite one. Alexis was our server and she’s the GOAT. Come here and just be a nice person and you’ll get great food.”
“I accidentally stumbled on Ray's and tried the #3 Ray's special. I was very pleased with the portions and the price. The fish was well cooked and seasoned, the chicken was great with nice sized tasty shrimp. Everything was clean and the cashier was nice. I've been searching for a good place like this to eat at and I am glad that I found Ray's and I will be back.”
“This place is fire I have no clue who made, this chicken but they know what there doing the last time I had this chicken it was juicy and bursted with flavor. The lemon pepper powder on the fries and chicken gives it a nice kick the ranch they can either provide you with or you ask for it gose bomb with this chicken I'd recommend this place 100% Goodluck. since this will knock you out with flavor!”

“We had the pleasure of trying this taco truck when it recently visited our subdivision. We had to try a lot of the items and they were all tasty.Birria tacos were nice and cheesy, with tender meat. If you buy 3 you get free consome, but this dip wasn't our favorite, we definitely preferred their salsa instead.Speaking of their salsa, we asked for the hot and it was pleasantly warm, full of spice and flavor. One of the best salsas I've eaten in my life.Pork tamale was good, I can envision buying a half or full dozen.We had two traditional style Pastor and Barbarbacoa tacos that were both fulfilling our Mexican traditional taco craving.We had an asada torta which was our least favorite item because it was a soft texture throughout the whole sandwich. Wish there was a crispness or something they could modify. Just felt a bit mushy.In total, we will definitely have to check the truck out in its normal spot for tacos(traditional or birria) or tamales with that tasty hot salsa!”
“We stopped for the first time after church to see why it was called Manhattan FISH and chicken. I remember having fried fish in New York and the memory lingers. My husband is from Louisiana and so I ordered both the cod and the catfish. Both delicious and my husband said it was the best he had tasted in a long time. Macaroni and cheese and the coleslaw were a nice addition to our Sunday dinner. We were wished a pleasant day and they said "see you next time" .... there will definitely be a next time.”
“I'm on a fixed income, so "fast food" is only an occasional treat for me. I found out about Shawarma Spot through a friend, and it has become my favorite little take-out restaurant. Their portions are quite generous, and you have several options for sauces and toppings. I order the Beef Shawarma, and at $8, I get two delicious meals for the price of one! (Admittedly, as a Senior, I have a small appetite.) Staff is always friendly, and they even put my "sauce on the side", so it still tastes fresh for my leftovers. I've frequently seen work crews there ordering Shawarma's multiple chicken wing deals. Give them a try!”
“It's a carryout coney now, but Pete's is still sooooo worth it! The flavor is so great, always consistent, and you can't go wrong on the price. We will make it a stop every year when we're in town. Keep it up, Mike n team. You're doing AWESOME!”

“Ordered food. Tripe taco was good well seasoned. I wanted the tripe crispy but Google translate said to put in a hard shell lol still really good. Horchata fresh, really good. Ordered a half al pastor half asada tortas. The asada is a lil salty but still delicious. The al pastor however did taste a lil old, slight spoil tang iykyk. 4 star cause it was probably an off day but who knows.”
“Had not been here for a salad in a long time. Their Chef Salad was just as good or better than I remembered. Lots of fresh tasty vegetables, meats cheese. Freshly baked Pita Bread and Salad Dressing was just right! Waitress was wonderful! Very helpful. Happy with the price and prompt service. Highly recommend!! I will be returning a lot more regularly.”
“I got the six bone meal with mac & cheese, spaghetti and cornbread and it was absolutely amazing. I can’t wait until I’m back in Pontiac hit this place up again. An added bonus was I got to meet the owners and they were awesome! They have a customer for life!”
“Reliable, every visit will have you eating good and with good spirits leaving you good spirited!
Vegetarian options: Not sure.
Dietary restrictions: Not sure.
Parking: Comfortable atmosphere and appropriately kind service.
Kid-friendliness: Kids may find it boring.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, wheelchairs could get inside and individuals could this eat, drink and be merry.”
“Excellent excellent "fun" food. Unique tasting burgers. Great fries. Unless bringing up their Late-Night Fries. Oh Yeah! Something like you will not experience anywhere else.
Only reason for average 4 star rating, the prices. Burgers on high side. Especially for food truck. BUT you can definitely taste the higher quality beef and they have a good selection of tasty burgers. So I was torn on giving 4 stars - but in the end, had to go with 4 for the prices and the food definitely stayed with 5 stars.
Parking: In a large Mobil Station lot.
Kid-friendliness: Not a children's place. Food truck in a very busy Mobil parking lot.”
“My Hubby had some at a work party once and brought home some extra. It was Awesome! Not too close to home but it the go to for work parties now and I have him pick some up whenever he can.DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!y'all remember there's a lot of fast food franchises in gas stations!None of them taste as good a Jim's Krispy Chicken though ?”
“Nicely seasoned carne asada. Amazing white sauce (some sort of cilantro lime crema?) Great portions and salsas. Ordered ultimate burrito for lunch and the ordering and food readiness is like clockwork, especially for a busy lunch hour.”
“very friendly service. always great food and get you thee best slushie. amazing gem right here😍”
“Always a good stop for breakfast we both got the Farmers omelet. Worth the price. Service isn't the best but there's only one waitress so its understandable”

“Visited Biscuits and Bourbon on Saturday, September 21. The environment inside AND outside the restaurant was very clean!
We were warmly greeting and offered various beverages before placing our order!! We ordered salmon with cheese grits (....you need this in your life), and a fluffy cheese omelet with home fries along with a side of chicken bites in a sweet, kicky Bourbon sauce.
Everything was beautifully plated and simply delicious. We will return soon!”
