Review #473 May 31,…read more2024 - Friday *History Lesson... Founders: Roy W. Allen Frank Wright = A & W Restaurant WHQ - Lexington, KY Fast Food with distinctive Burgers and Draft Root Beer & Floats! I cruised from Macomb to downtown Almont to eat a quick combo dinner before watching My Great Nephew's T-Ball game. I can certainly say that this A & W location (No too many left in Michigan) has a variety of delicious hot food served by several friendly staff employees with speedy service and accuracy. My photos show crispy and crunchy 3 piece chicken tenders and fries and their famous A & W Root Beer brewed fresh daily. After ordering a combo meal, I was given a medium cup to fill my drink and have seat. Then my order was promptly delivered in 8 minutes to the booth table. I didn't get her name due to no name tags... smh but she was kind to ask which dipping sauce I desired: Honey Mustard, BBQ or Ranch. I enjoyed all three one sauce for each tender. :-) I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner and it was worth the 30 minute drive. The dining room was colorful and clean with many advertisements and history photos too. Photos attached. I look forward to return here to taste a Coney dog or burger next time with a famous large Mug of Frosted Root Beer and their New Summertime "Strawberry Watermelon Cream Freeze!" :-) Join their Mug Club at www.awmugclub.com. This A & W is located at 4549 S. Van Dyke Road in front of Vinckier Foods and near the water tower as a marker. Hours: Monday - Sunday 10:30 AM - 9:00 PM Phone: (810) 798-0000 Order OnLine Handicap Accessible SpecialK :-) Karen N.

We elected to sit in the bar area which was clean and comfortable with mostly high tops. We had a variety of burgers and mine was the Original Bomb Burger with cheese. This is two burgers on a bun so if you don't have a healthy appetite, you may want to order the sliders or share it. It was very tasty as were the garlic and parmesan french fries. Our server, Brianna, was friendly and quick to serve. I would recommend this restaurant/lounge.

Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious--there's something for everyone, and we've never ordered anything we didn't love. They're always adding new and creative menu items, so there's always something fun to try while still keeping all of our favorites. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. On top of that, everyone who works there is so kind, friendly, and welcoming. You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in what they do. Whether you're stopping in for a meal or planning a special event, we can't recommend Roots enough!

We reside in Sterling Heights, by Lakeside Mall, where we are surrounded by lots of delicious restaurant options but we decided to explore the Oxford/Lapeer area and stopped at this Marios for a bite to eat. The prices are a bit on the high side but you certainly get what you pay for. The food is homemade and served at the proper temperature. I ordered the French Onion soup and loved it. The cheese atop the soup was smooth and not chewy. The broth, onions and even the croutons were cooked to perfection for this type of soup...ate/drank every bit of it. I also ordered the sweet potato fries and they were the best I have ever tasted. They were crispy and perfectly salted on the outside and soft/steamy on the inside...perfection! Mom had the country omelet. Mom had ice tea and I had coffee - our bill was $44.00 after tipping; a lot of $ in my opinion for two people to have brunch. The inside is very cozy with booths, tables and stools as sitting options. There are a couple of tv's with one or two of them NOT turned to sports...PTL and thank you. The service was excellent! Our server was very patient, knowledgeable and kind. My 86 yr mom has Parkinson's making her voice soft, decision making a challenge and often cranky because she misses her old self. Our server was very accommodating with my mom and with me as I can be running on a thin edge most of the time, lol. We loved it and hope to return soon.

Did a search for eateries in close proximity and decided on the Olde Detroit Burger Bar in Lake Orion. Not too sure how long this establishment has been in business, but it was either relatively new or recently renovated making it a very welcoming restaurant/bar. We started at a table out on the front patio area, but sweat bees didn't take long to come around. Our Granddaughter was not crazy about the bees, so we moved indoors. Our order: Kids' Slider & Fries; Greektown Salad with Gyro Meat; and The Woodward Avenue Burger topped with seared onion, tomatoes, and pickles with a side of sweet potato fries. I was struggling with my decision and thanks to our stunning server, Jozefina, she assisted me in making the choice to go with The Woodward Avenue Burger. The restaurant/bar had a decent crowd for a Sunday afternoon. Our service was very good, and the food was top-notch. They have a full bar and numerous tvs to keep you busy while dining or having fun at the bar. I am glad we do not live close by, or I would probably gain weight like crazy eating these wonderful burgers and other menu items all the time. If you are fortunate enough to reside in the Lake Orion area, you need to check this place out!
