    Big johns is a Flint staple. The super steak with red sauce add mayo is one of the best good options Flint has to offer.

    Love. Great service. Best steak sandwich in town. The red sauce makes it for me. You got to get the super steak with mushrooms and cheese.

They also have a restaurant where they cook up and serve all those great veggies. You'll spot Steady Eddy's from the parking lot by the big lemonade sign. This is no ordinary lemonade stand. It's gourmet through and through. It's all fresh and vibrant, tangy sweet. Amy and I ordered full sandwiches and swapped halves. It was a brilliant idea! The fresh crispy vegan club complimented the Reuben beautifully. Amy ordered brussel sprouts and I ate a bunch. I ordered fries and ate them all. Those brussel sprouts though- with the char and balsamic. Oh that was decadent. It had little shavings of vegan parmasean. So amazing. I have to talk about Nikki. She was our superstar server that made sure we were getting all the good stuff. It was really neat the way staff just covered each other tables to make sure everyone got such excellent service. They were a well oiled machine. Amy hasn't been here in 20 years, and well chosen, Amy! This cute little veggie joint is gold. Amy said they serve meat too. I didn't care. What we had was perfect. Steady Eddy's - I think I'm in love!

This place has delicious lemonade! I loved their cute little glass barrel decanters of flavors. You can get the flavors in the decanter, or you can spruce it up with other flavors and fresh fruit. (although the fruit was about $3 extra). They also put the adorable flower in the cup and fun colorful straws. The kids each got a different flavor, both very tasty and fresh. We are big into lemonades in this household. The people working here were nice and let us try the flavor first. We were just here to walk around the then get a drink to go, but looking at the menu I would love to come back and try their sandwiches. I love a good club, and theirs looks amazing. I always wanted to eat around the farmer's market, but we are slow to do so, so I would love to come back and do a sit down here in the future. It was adorable and seemed to busy which is a good sign.

Our server, Tanner, was genuinely kind and welcoming, which made a big difference. The table was set nicely when we arrived -- wine glass and water glass, silverware wrapped with cloth napkins on a side plate, and a candle lit off to the side. It felt thoughtful and perfect for a date night. We split the French Onion Soup to start, and it was delicious. Maybe a little pricey at $12, but it came with lots of cheese and bread (plus bread on the side), so it felt worth it as a starter. My boyfriend ordered a Long Island Iced Tea -- strong, but no complaints there -- and I got cranberry juice. Both drinks came out in the same glassware as the water, styled like cocktails, which I actually appreciated. No weird "different treatment" if you're not drinking alcohol, which is always a plus to me. We also did the Build-Your-Own Board, which was really fun, and Tanner was super helpful in guiding us through the choices. We picked Summer Sausage, Garlic & Herb Soft Cheese, Smoked Gouda, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, and Balsamic Onion Jam. The Fire Roasted Tomatoes were SO GOOD, and I usually don't even like tomatoes. They were soaking in olive oil (I think?), which had great flavor and paired perfectly with the bread and Garlic & Herb Cheese. I also really enjoyed the Balsamic Onion Jam, savory, slightly sweet, and a little goes a long way. Overall, everything tasted great. I was a little disappointed in the portion of Smoked Gouda compared to the soft cheese, especially considering some soft cheeses can retail around $30 per pound. If you're looking for the best value, you might consider a different cheese option. That said, extra bread was only $1, which felt like a great deal for the amount we received. We were honestly getting pretty full and almost couldn't finish it all. We were seated in the cellar area, which was okay, just a little small, and the music was pretty loud. Not ideal for a Valentine's date when you're trying to have a conversation. Random but important: the bathrooms were spectacular. Individual, spacious, very clean, nice sink setup, pump soap, automatic paper towel dispenser, and even a candle lit. Honestly, 10/10 bathroom experience. Overall, it's a really solid date night spot with great service and good food. Just a couple small tweaks (music volume and cheese portions!) would make it even better. We'd definitely come back.

I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. The beef patty was also really good. It was a tad more oily and the crust was not as flaky as the chicken. They drizzled butter on top of the patty which was not necessary. The patties are excellent on their own without The jerked chicken was very tender. It was literally falling off the bone. The jerk sauce is a little spicy but also very flavorful. Would highly recommend getting the sauce on the side. That's how it's served in Jamaica. The chicken was swimming in the sauce which took away from the actually well seasoned meat and the crispiness of the skin That jerk chicken is known for The ackee and saltfish was excellent. It is my favorite Jamaican dish and they did a really good job in making it authentically. I think this chef loves butter so it was a tad too much better for me but I'm being very picky since I grew up with this By far the best Jamaican food we have had in the Midwest.

    Much more than a convenience store!…read more Ground Floor Market, which opened a couple of months ago in the historic Dryden Building, is known as a "grab and go" lunch spot in the middle of downtown Flint. Its focus is on selling healthy ready-to-go luncheon items and snacks to local business professionals and college students who are always on the move and often too busy to sit down and enjoy lunch at one of the nearby sit-down restaurants. So far, that concept appears to be working. Featuring bakery items, like pastries, cookies, bread, etc from Fenton's own Crust (which has a kiosk at the Flint Farmer's Market) and the Laundry, both of whom are reknown for their baked goods, as well as homemade soups and sandwiches from the Lunch Studio (another popular downtown spot) and Oliver T's, the market is filling a "grab and go" lunch void dowtown that has needed filling for some time now. The variety of lunch items is pretty varied, with featured soups of the day such as Minestrone, White Chicken Chili, Butternut Squash, Roasted Red Pepper, and Mushroom from the ever-popular Lunch Studio and Oliver T's. The Roasted Red Pepper and Butternut Squash are both delicious and savory, but my favorite is the Minestrone- hearty and heart-healthy as well. Be sure to check out their soup of the day, as it changes daily as the name implies. They also sell a variety of beverages, including coffee, sodas, teas, and sparkling cider from Boylan's (a seasonal treat), ice cream novelties and plenty of vegetarian-friendly sandwiches and wraps, all at reasonable prices. Seriously, a lot of folks that work or go to school downtown just don't have the time to enjoy a sit-down meal and tend to eat on the run, but don't want to be relegated to purchasing over-priced, unhealthy junk food from the local mini-mart as they dash back to work or class. That's where Ground Floor Market comes in to bridge the gap between grabbing Twinkies and bad gas station coffee and sitting down for an hour long lunch downtown. Its central location to the UM-Flint campus and major businesses downtown is a real plus for those wanting to grab a quick bite within walking distance. Prices are pretty reasonable, sometimes downright cheap, on just about everything, especially when taking into account that is still considered a convenience store of sorts. After all, convenience stores aren't exactly known for their low prices and high quality. In fact, low prices on baked goods from Crust and the Laundry are the norm here. Sometimes, they sell Crust cookies for a fraction of their regular price and occasionally they've run 50% off specials on pastries and sandwiches from both Crust and the Laundry and $1.99 bowls of soup if purchased with a specialty sandwich. Inside, it looks more like a specialty food market/cafe, as opposed to a convenience store, which I'm sure is what the owners were striving for when coming up with this concept. It's super cute, painted in bright, friendly colors, with exposed brick walls and hardwood floors- a far cry from the dingy convenience stores with bullet proof glass that seem to pervade this city. Personally, I rather like this new concept convenience store/grab & go lunch spot. It's a breath of fresh air, plus I love the idea of having new life breathed into the century-old Dryden Building, one of the city's most historic downtown structures. Overall, the staff is friendly and the service is prompt, in keeping with the "convenience" theme.
