    Gluten free pepperoni pizza
    David F.

    This was my first visit, but I will definitely return! The service was phenomenal, and the plethora of gluten-free options made it a great dining experience. We beat the dinner crowd and the vibe was definitely starting to pick up as we were leaving, but it was very calm and quiet when we were there. The food was also quite excellent! The gluten free pizza had a perfect crust and tasty pepperoni cups. The blackened chicken salad was flavorful and full of freshly chopped toppings and a great smooth homemade blue cheese dressing. And don't even get me started on the breadsticks (not GF, but thankfully I am not the one restricted from gluten). I also tried a cup of their clam chowder and absolutely loved it. When visiting Lapeer, E.G. Nick's is a must try destination!

    No, I'm done. I've walked away from your restaurant with spoiled fish. I'm tired of being nice to everybody. When an employee does not taste the fish when it walks out of the restaurant, don't contact me. I want everybody just to do their job!!!!

    Orchard salad and pizza

    Ordered a pizza and orchard salad and both were delicious. The service was nice and the waitress was helpful answering questions we had about splitting the salad. Over all a good place to relax and enjoy a meal. The picture is from the leftovers.

    I've gone here for 25+ years but now that I don't live around there, it's great to see it's stayed just as good as ever. Huge portions, great gluten free options and safety, cost is decent and staff is super friendly. Missed the 2 for 1 pizza day but I bet that's pretty busy. Breadsticks are amazing

    Breadsticks &  fried feta appetizer
    Lauren R.

    Can't miss out on the amazing hot and fresh breadsticks from here. I wish I could come back every day for those. We also loved the fried feta appetizer that came with pesto. The pesto and breadsticks went really nice together. I wasn't a huge fan of the garlic dip for the breadsticks because it mostly tasted like cream cheese but my husband enjoyed it. I liked how their Greek salad came with beets. The dinner portion was very large. I enjoyed the added on salmon- also a big portion. It's cozy in here and the servers were all excellent.

    I couldn't be more disappointed... We read the reviews and headed in for our first time, and our last. Didn't get off to a good start and there was no redemption. The two hostess were too busy playing on their phones to greet us. But once the one finally looked up, it was clear that we were interrupting her evening. Once we were sat, by the third hostess, the dining room was less than 50% capacity. Yet we waited for quit some time for our server to arrive, whom checked in on the table sat after us first. No waters were ever offered or brought to the table. Sofa was flat and never refilled. Bang bang shrimp came out looking like soup, there was so so much sauce. The shrimp were 90 count (tiny) and overcooked to the point of being hard rubber. I tried two to be sure and pushed the dish away. When the salads show up, my dressing is packaged like a to go order and was so full it exploded on my shirt. Half the breadsticks were ok, the other half hard as rocks. So on to the main coarse, time for redemption. No. I ordered bacon wrapped fillet and my wife the alfredo pasta. Upon cutting into the fillet, I find the toothpick with my knife. Never removed before presentation and pushed in so far that I could not see it. Had to remove the bacon to find them. First steak was flavorless. At the least the second was cooked correctly (read- I'm too hungry at this point to not eat). My wife pushes here plate away, so I try it. The alfredo sauce is all parmesan and little cream, too thick to be a suace and was again enough "sauce" to be confused with soup. During all this our waitress has only been by to deliver food, never asking how we are doing. Never addresses that I sent back the shrimp or that my wife has also pushed her dish away. So I flag down the manger and explain our experience with the food and hostess, never mentioning the server besides the lack of waters. He assures me he will make it right on the bill. He makes sure to spread the gossip instead of owning the mistakes, now we are getting mean-mugged by ALL the staff members walking by. Server never comes back, never addresses us at all, only a glare as she passes us while we wait for the bill. So I paid for the steak, thankfully he comped the food we returned. Time is money, so I left a $6 tip too anyways. But in presenting the check he decides that arguing the points of our experience is the logical next step. Denies the soda is flat, tells us the bang bang is their best seller, and insists that the pasta is the way they always make it. My wife requests a to-go water, because she's only eaten breadsticks and consumed flat soda. He brings back a quart sized clear soup container full of ice water with a lid! Claiming they don't have to-go cups. Bro! There's three reserved spot out front for only to-go pick orders, taking up the prime parking next to the door and adjacent to the handicap spots. What do you give the to go customers who order drinks!? I really tried. But I can't not share. So many 5 star reviews I thought this was sure bet. Ah man, I forget to mention the music or the constantly flashing lights around the dining room. Whatever. Hope this was a fluke and y'all enjoy it, but we definitely did not

    Jack Salmon

    Everything I read about this place is true! We got seated immediately on a Saturday night with very friendly employees. The waiter showed up right away to get our drink order. There are so many great sounding items on the menu it was hard to decide. I ended up going with the plank white fish, and it came with duchesse potatoes and a side of vegetables. My friend ordered the salmon dinner, and he said it's probably the best salmon he's ever had. His dinner came with rice and vegetables also. Both of our meals came with choice of soup, salad, or coleslaw. The salad choices were mixed greens, Caesar salad and another option. He ordered the coleslaw and he said it was awesome and I ordered a side salad and it was huge. As soon as you sit down, they give you a basket of breadsticks that are like soft bread, and so delicious we had to stop ourselves from eating it so we wouldn't get full. I look forward to coming here again to try other options because everything was absolutely delicious over the top and I rarely get a five star review

    E.G. Nick's looks like a family diner, but they have a lot more going on here than you'd except.

    Fish and chips are best anywhere according to my husband…read more.. Service is also excellent! Burgers are great as are the fries. Our Son and grandsons enjoyed them immensely! Myself I don't eat lettuce or gluten so not many selections for me but I ordered a basket of tater tots very yummy and went home and had my usual salad and a protein drink.

    Old Detroit Burger Bar has a fun location right in downtown Lapeer, surrounded by locally owned…read morebusinesses. After lunch, it's easy to spend some time walking around, grabbing ice cream, checking out the nearby thrift shop, or just relaxing on one of the shaded benches under the trees and enjoying the small-town atmosphere. The restaurant itself has a cool bar vibe with dark wood, automotive-themed décor, and plenty of Detroit-inspired burger names. Even on a Friday afternoon, the place was busy with people enjoying drinks, so I can definitely see it being a popular hangout. The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive, checked on us often, and kept our pop refills coming without us ever having to ask. Our food arrived quickly, hot, and fresh. The burgers were large, juicy, and had some creative topping combinations. I ordered one topped with a fried egg, expecting the yolk to add richness like it usually does on a burger, but the egg was completely cooked through with no runny yolk at all, so it didn't really add much. Overall, I found the burgers to be underseasoned. They looked great, but the flavor was a little flat and could have used more seasoning. The waffle fries were crispy and probably my favorite part of the meal. I also ordered a side of cheese sauce to dip them in, but it was so thick and gelatinous that I couldn't even get a fry into it, which was disappointing. We also ordered the corned beef egg rolls, which were very greasy. The outside was crispy, but the wrapper was thick and a bit doughy inside. The house-made ranch, however, was excellent and paired well with the fries. For three burgers, one appetizer, three pops, and about a $100 bill, I expected the food to wow me a little more. It wasn't bad by any means, I just wasn't as impressed as I expected based on all the rave reviews. If the food had a little more seasoning and the egg rolls, cheese sauce, and overall execution were improved, I'd enjoy it much more. I'd still give it another try, especially for the atmosphere, location, and outstanding service.
