It was like walking into a diner from the 1970s and reliving my childhood. But this dinner has a liquor license so you can get a beer or wine or mixed drink with your dinner food. The large menu has something for everyone, but as I learned when you don't specialize in anything, you are average. The food is just above average. Service was average also. The group I was with are regulars so I will be back since I am a member of the group. read more

A more old school home style diner-like feel. Stopped in for dinner last night for the first time, so certainly have much more of the menu to try, but was happy with the meal and experience! I'm not sure I would necessarily go out of my way to come here, but I'm happy it's located close to me as a solid and convenient option. My husband got the Grande burger (and it was indeed huge) with fries and I got the Mixed (Chicken and Steak) fajitas. Fajitas came out sizzling hot, with a generous amount of meat, and lots of accompaniments. Fun to assemble in tortillas or eat without. A touch underseasoned for my liking, but definitely prefer that to overseasoned. Had enough leftovers to take home for an entire second meal. Pretty good value! Large portions of food at lower prices than elsewhere. read more

Holidays is one of my favorite spots to eat in town. The BLT is perfection and I'd sell my soul for the rice pudding.

We ordered chips and salsa and medium buffalo wings to start. The chips had a good crispy texture but the salsa was bland. My husband that the wings were meh. The medium sauce was on the sweeter side. I ordered the meatloaf and got the beef barley soup which was decent. I got the beef barley soup which was pretty good. Nice, warm, and deliciously salty. I loved the family diner atmosphere. The menu was extensive with many comfort food options. My daughter got an omelette and loved it. My meatloaf had a bit too much gravy and I wasn't keen on the taste so I did not ear it. They have great desserts! I think we will come back for breakfast and brunch because their breakfast food menu is extensive and looks delicious. read more

Quaint local restaurant, walked in with 5 folks on a Wednesday about 12:30, no problem getting seated. Server Nancy was attentive & helpful as 3 of us had not eaten there before. Decent selections on the menu, 3 of us opted for the open face turkey sandwich 2 w/ mash but I'm originally from western PA & like crispy fries, no problem with alteration & really good gravy. All & all a nice friendly place for home style cooking, read more

Since the start of the pandemic, the thing I have missed the most is brunch. A big ol' plate of crispy hashbrowns, pancakes, eggs, the full nine. We've ordered from a few places and they've been good but Holiday's is the first place that, while eating my meal, I exclaimed "THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!" The order arrived quickly and ahead of schedule. The hashbrowns, despite being in a delivery container, were still crispy and hot. My eggs were cooked perfectly and my short stack of pancakes was beyond satisfying. My husband got a ham and cheddar omelet and he was thrilled with his as well. Portions were very generous to boot. Shortly after I placed our order I got a phone call from the restaurant. I expected it to be that they ran out of something or had some problem, but instead it was just that they wanted to double check our toast choices. So nice! Ordering from here may just end up a weekly occurrence! read more

A breakfast favorite! Corned beef hash...mmmm. Friendly staff and the food is yummy. Nice to buy local.

It's good diner food and sometimes that's all you want. Cozy atmosphere, friendly waitresses, comfort food, cheap prices, and large portions. Price to portion ratio is good. Quality was pretty good. It wasn't overly salty or greasy like a lot of diners. I'd come back again if I'm in the area and the craving strikes me. :) There's nothing quite like flattop scrambled eggs. read more

Hands down my favorite place for steak and eggs. They actually serve you a real steak and not one of those flavorless thin breakfast steaks. I had a rare hiccup last week for the first time in years and the manager called me to apologize and remedy the situation. You cant beat the great service and food here. Thanks Holidays! read more

It's Friday the 13th and we stopped by Holiday's to grab lunch with friends. We had an excellent experience. I'm upgrading my previous 3-star rating to 4 bright stars based on outstanding service (courteous and efficient) as well as great food quality. I had my usual Taco Salad while others at our table had a pair of sandwiches and an omelette. All of our meals drew positive comments and hit the spot. Holiday's delivered a solid cafe experience on the west side of Tree-town. read more

Today my sister and I visited this restaurant for the first time, recommended by another local business we went to. Nice community supporting each other The greeter was very nice and asked if we wanted to sit out on the patio or inside. We chose inside and she then said, "Well how about a seat by the window so you can still enjoy the patio?" which was Very nice: large tent with many metal patio tables and chairs w/ cushions. The perimeter was landscaped upwards to block the view and noise from the 5 lane roadway. Many flowers in containers, baskets and pots. There's an area next to the patio where they've planted a garden for the vegetables they'll use in their meals! Around the perimeter of the building they have decorative plants with tomato plants in between, sunflowers were also on the rise. This menu was huge so I didn't take a photo (because the smaller font would've been hard to read) but it had just about everything on it. I asked our fantastic server Jennifer, "What are you famous for here?" and she rattled off numerous facts starting with, "If there's something that isn't good, it's not on the menu. Many homemade meals: pot roast, meatloaf, our turkey is real off the bone turkey not a "lunch meat type" the corned beef is good. Our mashed potatoes are real potatoes, nothing else. Our fish is cod or salmon, also fresh we don't use frozen. Burgers are popular, sandwiches of all kinds. We serve breakfast all day but the one thing I wouldn't recommend at this time of day (5 pm) would be the sausage gravy because it's not as fresh. Homemade soups, we're known for our pies especially the cream pies: banana and coconut." My sister had meat loaf w/ mashed potatoes and I had 1 of the Specials: spaghetti and meatballs (I chose meat sauce over marinara). Both the meat loaf and meatballs were so delicious and flavorful, my spaghetti was cooked well adenté and Texas toast garlic bread. Both our plates were steaming hot when delivered to the table. We both had house salads which were a good size: fancier mixed greens, the mildest red onion I've ever tasted, homemade croutons which were wonderfully seasoned and almost disintegrated because they weren't rock hard and scraping up your mouth. Typical salad dressings but I chose ranch because it was... homemade! I noticed they had a fancier coffee station with syrups to make lattes or flavored coffee. Our server was so attentive, friendly and helpful, including her interactions with her trainee Jackie(?) that I could overhear. The booth tabletops had ads promoting other local businesses and a spot in the middle to play Tic Tac Toe and Hangman with dry erase markers! Ambiance was warm and inviting, great for larger groups/ parties, good for kids and dress is casual to as fancy as you want to be that day! Facilities were clean, spacious. Large private parking lot. Unsure if they served alcohol but I had the vibe that they did; call ahead if you need to know. In the small 'lobby' between the 2 sets of doors they even had a bookshelf! Which I thought was very cool Prices were $$-$$$, appropriate for the high level of food quality, customer service and satisfaction we received. Which makes it very easy to say that I highly recommend you try this local business! We live 35-40 miles away but we will be back again! read more

Consistently good, hot, traditional breakfast food! Service is decently fast without feeling rushed. A lot of tables, can accommodate large groups. Went on Sat at 10:30. Vestibule had about 15 people waiting but the owner (?) told us 10-15 min and he was spot on! Staff is always friendly. We had Angie today and she got my hubby's and my order correct. Especially when he got the egg white omelette. So many restaurants don't "hear" the egg white part of the order. He was happy! I hade the Homemade Hash and chose eggs over easy. Perfectly cooked, hash was very tender, not chewy. It all came out hot. Decir is nothing fancy, has a homey feel to it. We were in a booth by the window with a bird feeder outside, so it was fun to see the birds bickering for food. Atmosphere is loud and bustling, but didn't bother me. I am from Grand Rapids and l imagine this is a great local breakfast spit with reasonable prices. Been here a few times now and will keep coming back. Well done, Holiday's! read more

I had breakfast, food was ok and service was decent. My server was attentive despite how busy they were. The table with the ignorant racist who kept spouting off in his outdoor voice ruined it all. He and his friends must be regulars cause the staff did not say a word to him. I won't be back. read more

I ordered 24 Turkey dinners for my staff and it was absolutely amazing. Couldn't have been more satisfied with the pick up of the order. The order was ready exactly when they said it would be and all the sides were separated.. the cranberries the gravy etc. The meals were individually wrapped in a container and they were hot and delicious. Everyone loved the meal. Thank you Holiday's!!!! read more

Holiday's Restaurant - Senior Turkey Dinner! - American Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

A solid choice any time of day. I've come for breakfast and enjoyed the food. I've come for dinner and enjoyed the food. Neither time was overly busy or loud and the service was friendly and quick. They have a full bar which is a plus and have some deals prior to home Michigan football and basketball games, which is nice since they aren't too far from either stadium/arena. While this place has been around FOREVER, I've only recently visited but wish I had gone earlier. It's almost like a hole in the wall type place because even though it has a sign out front, it's fairly easy to drive by and not notice. However, I absolutely recommend stopping in for a quick bite if you're in the area! read more

So, I decided to do an updated review of Holidays. My previous review still stands in regard to the percent charged for using a card, however, it's a local small business that stayed open during the pandemic and I appreciate that. It tells me This is a good business and they care for their employees! I went in the other night and got three pot roast dinners. With beef barley soup-These meals were as home made as my grandmothers! The pot roast itself was so tender, fell right apart (my dog, who is the pickiest eater, even loved it!) The soup tasted just like homemade soup my grandmother used to make. Yum yum. Was planning on cheeseburger soup today, got there and they had already closed. (Sundays only til 3!) I was so bummed. Thanks for the phone call to let me know you had it! read more

Great diner food with an equally great staff and service. I'd definitely come back for breakfast next time I'm in the area.

Greatest Family meeting Spot in Ann Arbor. Rob and Jennifer Owners has 6 children in Training great Hosts. Moral Christian Family. Teaches their adult children the value of hard work in making their customers happy. Don't believe me, most of this Restaurant are repeat Customers and 100% positive feelings about this place. all ages from senior home repeat to young customers. I often find 3 or 4 generations families father. Family is primo and most combined Ethnic Workers we are all welcome. The food is very affordable and great!! Allergy conscience and trained. I'm gluten intolerant. My waitress and owners will tell me I can't eat something because I know I am gluten intolerant most restaurants in this town care less from my allergies, healthy food and friendly smiles. Even when they're swamped, I can see the paid and everything's always smiles. I feel like at home service fantastic. The atmosphere is great. Five stars understatement. read more

I came across Holiday's while planning a trip to the Big House. The menu has a little bit of everything, the service was welcoming, and overall, we all left very satisfied. From the outside, Holiday's reminds me of a family owned version of Denny's but the food options are much more appealing since they offer beer and pasta dishes wish you will not find at most chain brunch places. For an outsider (from Ohio no less!) coming on a Saturday afternoon, I was glad breakfast was still available as I went with the breakfast potato skins which were basically a veggie omelet on crispy potato skins with ranchero sauce, and it really satisfied a craving I didn't know existed. My wife ordered one of the specials, the Blackberry Grilled cheese, which comes on sourdough with blackberry ham, bacon, mozzarella cheese and you can add jalapenos to spice it up, which she did. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it and will definitely try making my bootleg version at home. The other person in our party got the Thick and Juicy Burger which was just a plain hamburger and added fries which were very tasty. All in all, the food was fine but nothing spectacular, the service and location were exactly what we wanted, but my only criticism would be about the pricing. Some of the breakfast items seem overpriced and shied me away from ordering them, and it seems like every item has something to add on that costs more money. The Blackberry grilled cheese for example can is $8 already but if you want jalapeños it is $1 more, or the burgers start around $7 and do not include fries but they can be added for $2. Make sure you read the details thoroughly or you might be surprised when you get your bill! I would give a 3.5-star review if possible here, but I will round up here because we had such a good weekend in Ann Arbor. I highly recommend checking out the city and stopping by Holiday's for a quick breakfast/brunch meal on the way out. read more

I love Holiday's restaurant! For breakfast it's the best. The omelettes are great and the breakfast specials are good, basic and priced nice. Good coffee. friendly professional service. It's a down home kinda place, nothing over the top fancy. I have only ever had breakfast here, but my friend goes for lunch and dinner and also likes it. read more

Awesome! Every aspect of my experience here today was top notch. The staff was super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The food was delicious.

I can't believe that I haven't left a review for this wonderful restaurant, yet! From the moment you come in the door to when you leave, you will be happy you came in and will want to come back. When you open the extensive menu to the daily specials during the week for lunch and for dinner, there will be something that will fill the bill and your stomach. Take for instance the Holiday's Twisted BLT, Chopped Sirloin Dinner, Reuben Sandwich(Best in town), Salmon Dinner(hand filleted), Spinach Pie, Smoky Mountain Chicken, Eggs Benedict and a great Soup and Salad Bar, these are some of my favorite meals, here. Breakfast is served all day. You can even wash it all down with a selection from taps of craft beer(some local)or bottled beer, wine or cocktails. And, then if you still have room, choose from the wonderful deserts like banana and coconut cream pies...which are hand made by Neo, fruit pies, cheesecakes and my favorite Lava Cake. The Staff are always happy to greet you and make your experience the best! read more

Of course I had driven past this restaurant dozens of times but what finally lured me in was the development of their patio and later a tent over the patio. It is a good solid restaurant with a big menu, but the reason I go in is for their breakfasts. The top thing on their menu for me is their homemade corned beef hash. They have a senior menu which many of my friends take advantage of while I am gobbling down my hash. See you there. read more

I had the country meat loaf dinner with a side of broccoli and the barley beef soup. The soup was delicious. The meatloaf was amazing, I love that they put some green peppers in there to enhance the flavors. Some other places meatloaf tends to have way too more bread than meat but Holidays has more meat than bread. The serving portion was perfect. Oh ask them for their outside sitting, they have a beautiful garden right next to their parking lot. read more

We were greeted promptly, the waitress was polite and offered up menu information since it was our first visit. We were given plenty of time to check over the menu and food was served quickly. The decor is rather dated and it was kind of dark but the restrooms seemed to be updated recently. The idea of a salad bar this day and age is quite brave. I'm sure everything was fine but it just isn't something I would partake in. It is right at the front door and is the first thing you see when walking in. The food was decent and the service was fine so we would go back but there are SO many other options nearby at the same price point that we are in no rush to return. read more

We really like this place. We moved to an apartment about a ten-minute walk from Holiday's and it took us a few months to finally check it out. We are sorry we waited. This is neither a high-end steakhouse nor a typical diner. It is something entirely unique. The menu is varied and has something for everyone. They also have some craft beer and wine. It also looked like they had some spirits as well. We both went with burgers. I had the patty melt. It was terrific. My husband loved his burger, too. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We plan to visit often and try more of the menu. If you are in town, you should check it out. It is not far from the Big House or Downtown, so you can include it in whatever trip you plan. read more

This is our favorite breakfast spot. They never disappoint. The prices are reasonable and frankly a little low for Ann Arbor. The sweet potato eggs Benedict is amazing! Our kids love the pancakes and for lunch the Reuben is top notch. The customer service is what stands out the most, they are always there to refill coffee and are so friendly. A family friendly environment They do also serve alcohol, the Bloody Mary's are tasty. read more

This place is great. They have fantastic food and the waitresses are even more than fantastic! Even with a complicated order, our waitress got EVERYTHING right and did it with a smile on her face, something I'm very thankful for. This place is military and veteran friendly, something that pulled at my heart. I will definitely be a frequenter here from now on. read more

A typical "Greek Diner" with all that goes along with that style of local eatery (note for those of you who may not be familiar with this term, a Greek Diner is not a Greek Restaurant but rather an establishment owned and operated by people with some claims to Greek heritage. At some point in the 20th century a great number of Greek immigrants came to the US and opened up diners with their own particular style which can now be found all over the country. There may be one of two Greek inspired dishes on the menu, but the vast majority of the food is good old basic American comfort food.) There are no surprises here (good or bad.) The portions are large, the food quality is good, and the service is friendly and efficient. If this is the type of establishment you are seeking you will not be disappointed at Holiday's. We particularly enjoy their outdoor seating in the mornings as it is shaded from the direct sun and reasonably isolated from the adjacent main road. Their outdoor seating might be a bit hot in the late afternoons and early evenings as it would be in direct sunlight (table umbrellas are provided.) We have enjoyed seeing their vegetable garden and assume that some of this produce makes its way into the food. read more

The usual suspects and then some. Prices are good and the service is consistent in a positive way. I especially like breakfast here. Get the home fries crispy and try an omelet (Greek!) or some homemade corned beef hash. Biscuits and gravy are a satisfying pick too. My last visit they had specials like pumpkin pancakes, breakfast crepes, Holiday skillets and some damn tasty cranberry orange French toast. You can tell what won. I loved every bite. I'm a sucker for cranberry orange for sure, add in some bacon and I am set. Dinners here work too but I am a diner breakfast type girl. I love that the OJ is fresh squeezed, I don't drink it but I appreciate it. I do drink the mighty leaf teas though and am happy for them. The coffee here is decent too. Especially for this type of joint. They have recently remodeled and now serve beer and wine to boot. Bad wines but decent beers, hey Two Hearted will work for me. The also have Founder's breakfast stout and some Wolverine dark lager. You can even find Flannel Mouth. Hmmmm. Maybe I should come again for dinner. Join the e club and such and get deals, specials and other perks. read more

This restaurant has much improved since my family and I swore them off about 8 years ago. Good menu, friendly service, and pretty good food. My son and I stopped in for a quick breakfast on a Saturday early afternoon. He gobbled down the southwest burger and raved about it with each mouthfull. I had eggs, potatoes, bacon toast and a half order of the biscuts and gravy. Did I mention I was with a teenager. He ate his burger and half my breakfast as I expected and it was all very good. We were in an out in our allotted time, for which I was thankful, and we will definitely be back again. Bonus - they know how to properly cook eggs. Over medium means whites cooked, yolks running. Some places don't get it. read more

Holiday's is our Wednesday breakfast spot. My boyfriend and I walk in every morning and are greeted by either a server or the owner. "Good morning you two." We're either walked to a relatively calm section or told to go to our usual spot. Our waitress Jazmyn remembers our order every time and we adore her. Can't wait for her to return from maternity leave. All our other waitstaff is wonderful and warm and friendly. Breakfast is incredibly priced for two folks, one being a hungry hungry dude. The food is so good and SO quick. We hardly go a Wednesday without seeing them and getting our breakkie. We've gone every week since we started dating. It feels like a tradition they're a part of too and we wouldn't change it. Even after our move 20 minutes away, we're coming back!!!! read more

This has to be one of Ann Arbor's least impressive diners. Gyros and chili are fundamentals of the diner menu, and Holiday's struck out with both. The meat on my wife's gyro was greasy and had all the zest of an off-brand hot dog, though she thought the fries were fine. The chili was essentially beans, meat and a little heat that didn't manage to mingle with and complement one another. I ordered the spanokopita with my chili...an unusual combo, but when I saw it on the menu a whim struck me. This was unfortunate. The filling actually wasn't bad, but the crust comprised the soggiest, greasiest phyllo I've ever seen. "Well, that's not something you should order at a coney joint anyway," some might say. But I've done it elsewhere in town and been very happy with the results. The atmosphere didn't help the meal any. Several vacated tables near us had dirty plates on them the entire time we were there--maybe Holiday's was understaffed that night. There was an odor in the air that I couldn't quite pin down, but suggested the kitchen was overdue for a cleaning. Given the number of cars I usually see in the lot when I drive by, Holiday's must do something right. But they sure didn't do right by us. read more
