    boneless honey pepper wings
    Adri C.

    Our server was so sweet and attentive!... but then she got fired while we were still eating. I'm not leaving 2 stars because she was fired - I have no idea what the circumstances were - but the giggles and awkward energy surrounding the termination definitely contribute. The way it was handled around customers just wasn't professional or respectful. We shouldn't have known what was going on, especially like that. I just got a crispy chicken salad, and it was very mid. The lettuce was crisp, but the tomatos were gross and some were grey. I thought the weird taste was the tomatoes, so I took them all out, only to discover that the ranch had some weird taste to it. I couldn't identify what it was, but it was just off. Service was friendly and the environment was clean, but the general vibe and quality of food was just off.

    They turn down the music ever time you play a song and service is lazy and can't remember anything.

    Best Applebee's that I have been to. I ordered the 12 oz rib eye medium. It was good and the bartender was real nice. I will be back.

    This was a place my Ann Arbor family had never heard of, I found them on Yelp, and my family is…read moreobsessed. I have a long list of dietary needs for the family, and Sam Hill handles them all. The deep fried vegan Brussels sprouts are prepared so lightly that we had to order more. The vibe was upscale casual, but we didn't see the music scene. We're going to try it out soon!

    Ok. We've given Sam Hill 5 visits and we are done. From the first disaster at brunch to last…read morenight's ridiculousness, we are done with Sam Hill. I'm sure others like it though I'm not sure why or how. Monday night. Two adults and one kid. Service was very sweet. Husband ordered an Old Fashioned with Markers Mark instead of their well. What he got was a super sweet cocktail. Almost too sweet to drink. He said it was fine. He didn't want to fuss. Let's just move on to the food. We both were feeling like a patty melt. I asked to add mushrooms and leave off the special sauce (thousand island type stuff). What we got was a plate with soggy sourdough stuffed with salty saucy pot roast covered in cheese and onions. That is not a patty melt. I looked up the description on the menu online and it doesn't say pot roast but braised beef. I get it after seeing what was on the plate and wouldn't have ordered it if there was a picture or if it said it was saucy POT ROAST. The side salad I ordered for a $4 up charge was great. Beautiful and fresh. Even their ranch is really good. I tried to eat the sandwich but it was too salty and disappointing. I wanted a patty melt. Pot roast isn't a frickin patty. My husband powered through his. He was too hungry. The waitress offered to talk to the manager and came back to offer one of their smash burgers. I asked if it can be a patty melt on grilled bread instead of a bun. She was clueless. I ordered a burger and said just put it on the bread. It came out after my husband and little was well finished with their food. Her talking to the manager took way too long. The burger wasn't a smash burger either, it was two tiny over cooked patties. Smash burgers are thin and with crispy edges. This was not. The caramelized onion fondue cheese sauce was the highlight but at this point I was just eating to fill my belly and get out of there. Husband and little ordered the strawberry shortcake dessert just so they weren't sitting there waiting for me to finish. Idk what that rock hard shortcake was made out of but it took muscle to get thru it. It wasn't dry just very dense and tasteless. There was too much biscuit to macerated strawberries. It needed to be dunked in the syrup to get some flavor. It's was stout enough to handle it. When the bill was brought out, I had to ask for an iced tea refill. No refills were offered or given the whole visit. Total was ~$73 before tip. This is it for us. They have a nice private dining room that I would have loved to consider for our company holiday party but only if the food was better. They are consistently poor in either the execution or description of their menu items.

    We stopped by this sports bar for some drinks and food, and honestly the whole experience was…read moregreat. The staff were super friendly and sat us right away, which set a good tone from the start. The environment was lively but still very family‑friendly, which I really appreciated. They have a solid variety of drinks and beers. I ordered a mojito, at first sip it tasted like water, but after stirring it up it turned out to be really well balanced and refreshing. For food, I had the lemon pepper wings and my husband had the buffalo wings. Both were perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the sauces were spot on. Definitely some of the better wings we've had in a while. We'll definitely be going back! I've got my eye on the steak fries for next time.

    Came in on Mother's Day and it was not overly busy. A handful of tables had customers at them…read more We were waiting on the sixth person of our party to show up so we ordered drinks and looked at the menus. Waitress seemed annoyed that we weren't ordering food right away. So, we put in an appetizer order while we waited. The Quesorizo was okay, but the portion was tiny. We put in our order before our sixth arrived as they told us what they wanted. The food started arriving fairly quickly which was good. But the waitress put in an order for a regular chicken tenders meal for one of my daughters instead of the one from the kid's menu. I ordered the "El Gordo" Burrito with beef. It was a lackluster item filled with regular ground beef that was not seasoned. I didn't finish it. My wife and oldest daughter got the buffalo chicken mac and cheese - which they normally love - but they said it was not very good today. And to top it all off, our waitress disappeared for about 10 minutes forcing us to go up to the bar to get drinks/refills and request a new set of silverware because my son dropped his on the ground. I do not plan on going here again.

    I came here for dinner with some friends. We didn't have a reservation but were seated immediately…read more I'm surprised how busy/packed the parking lot and the restaurant were. I liked how open it was and that there were a lot of tables/seating and that you could see most of the tables. There is a bar and a good amount of tvs. You can sample any beers or ciders which was nice! My friend and I tried: - apple cider: this was pretty apple-y, nothing special but it's the one I ended up ordering - sangria cider: a little too sweet for me - cherry cider: it didn't taste like cherry to me - mint chocolate chip malt: I was so intrigued that I had to try this. Confirming it does taste like mint chocolate chip! Food we ordered: - chicken Caesar wrap - ahi tuna poke bowl: I thought there would be more seaweed or lettuce but the base was white rice. It was a fine poke bowl but I don't think worth $20 - Korean rice bowl: my friend added shrimp Service was okay. They were busy but things took time to get to us. I would probably come back again.

    Session Room aka Arbor Brewing Company Session Room…read more The place was super busy, but we were seated within just 15 minutes. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and asked if it was our first visit--when we said yes, she was so kind to walk us through their amazing selection of ciders, beers, and more. We were a bit undecided, so she brought us some samples--such a nice touch! The food came out quickly; we ordered a couple of pizzas and a sandwich, and everyone was super happy with their food choices. The drinks were fantastic, and thanks to our lovely waitress, we got exactly what we were in the mood for. The service was top-notch, the atmosphere was lively, and all around, we were all pleasantly surprised recommend it enough!
