    The food was good, but it took long enough for us to get it. By the time we got the food I think it was an hour later we decided just to take it to go. And they were busy but, they just didn't handle it well. Parking is kind of tight here as well. Anyway I don't plan to go back here again for some time. My expectations are maybe a little bit High cuz people are telling me about how great it was but we really did not have a great time at all.

    Yes. That's the cheese on the bottom of my pancake. Maybe they were going for the "skillet" concept. (Plus, the pancakes were "rubbery".)

    If you were a fan of "Seinfeld" and ever wanted to experience the "soup nazi", this is the place for you. For those unfamiliar with Detroit, Coney Island restaurants are as common as pasta in Italy. This one is rather sizable in terms of space. Breakfast is one of their most popular fares. Such was what we anticipated when we decided to check out our neighborhood local coney spot. But, boy, did we get more than we bargained for. So much more ... In fact, we got two bad breakfasts and a whopping plate of bad attitude. To begin with, at 9:00 a.m., there was only one other soul in the place having a meal. I'm mentioning this because if the place was busy, I might have been willing to cut them a break. Besides that person, two cooks, two waitstaff, me and Pimp. Soooo... I ordered a pancake special and he had the Paul Bunyan to go. We got our orders, but before we left I asked the server if they had sugar-free pancake syrup. The woman looked at me as if I asked her to tap a maple tree! She then poured me what amounted to a shot glass of the syrup. No big deal. I never use more than a teaspoon anyway. I took it. Said thank you, and she rolled her eyes. ROLLED HER EYES! Okay. Strike one. We get home and I opened my container with the pancakes. It looked as if I had a styrofoam trough, and they dumped everything in it as though I was a pig ready to slop! I ordered cheddar added to my scrambled eggs. See the picture of my eggs that had the cheese melted on my pancakes.. Pimp's Paul Bunyan was equally disappointing. Strike two. There won't be a strike three. This place sits in an isolated area that's rather hard to get into off the freeway (unless you're really trying to get there). I say that to say, we really made a conscious decision to visit this joint. Secondly, there are other choices that were closer and from which we've had better experiences. So much for trying something old in a new (or rather, different) place. Won't be back ... If I could give 1/2 of a star ...

    This is the most amazing chicken club sandwich I've ever had in my life

    Great customer service hot food amazing chicken club I recommend it to everyone whoever the cook is at this location is a gift from god from the perfectly toasted bread to the sweet tomato and the prefectly crispy bacon and the super fresh lettuce this sandwich is truly food made for the gods I will return bring your friends your family your kids you won't be disappointed best Coney Island location ever

    Grilled chicken pita and chilli cheese fries.

    Food was good. Very fresh and the service was amazing. Typical Coney Island menu, but we all know some are better than others. This one is top notch.

    Chilli cheese fries. Yum.

    I'm so glad we have another late-night Coney option in Southfield! This place really satisfies. We ordered a western omlette and hashbrowns, wings, chilli cheese fries, and a grilled chicken pita. Everything was good, but the pita was exceptional. They also have the "good ranch," which is #1 in choosing a great coney if you ask me. The omelette lacked seasoning, but that was easily fixed, and I'd order the hashbrowns crispy; they were really soft. No complaints about anything else, they were fast, and we'll be back!

    This place is quite the diner. I sat up on the stool side and watch 2-3 cooks going to town putting out some seriously good food. I always like to sit up near the flat top and watch the cooking. Always the good spot to learn new cooking tricks. This place is a diner, but not greasy. I had the Shawarma and it was probably the best pita I have had. It was packed full of flavorful chicken and veggies. The fries were fried just right with little grease leftover on the plate. The place was packed the whole time I was there. Great spot to go to.

    16 chicken wings (I ordered only 6) and chili cheese fries prepared the opposite of what I asked.

    I love L George's...but this is the first and last time I will ever visit this location. One thing that I cannot is poor customer service and cashiers that do not pay attention to what they are doing and can't follow instructions. This place strikes out completely on their first try. I called in an order of chili cheese fries with extra SQUEEZED cheese and a small amount of chili and a 6 piece chicken wings. I should have known something was off by the total and the size of the bag but it has been a LONG time since Ive been to L George's so I thought maybe the prices went up. I get home and what do I find? My chili cheese fries were mostly chili and a small amount of SLICED cheese and 16 CHICKEN WINGS!! How in the world they messed this up, I have no idea! How do you mistake the number 6 for 16?! One has one syllable, the other has two! And how do you give someone the complete opposite of what they order?! Then I tried the fries and they were horrible and warm! All it takes is one time to lose my business and this L George's has had their one time. I should have went to Chipotle like I originally planned. I think this may explain why this place is empty every time I drive by. Anyone in Detroit knows that L George's is a VERY popular Coney Island chain and is usually packed. I am done with this place.

    Grilled chicken pita .... Yuck
    Danielle S.

    They kept me on hold for 10 minutes when I tried to call in my order. I got to the restaraunt and no one apologized for the wait. Finally ordered, then unwrapped my grilled chicken pita and was soo disappointed. It was greasy and messy.

    Huge counter , new kitchen! Experienced staff!

    They've brought back seasoned fries! Levels up the combos now - still the best grilled chicken from any Coney chain in the area.

Walking in, there was very limited seating and about an hour wait, which clearly showed how popular this spot is. Thankfully, the hostess told us about their basement bar area where you can grab drinks and snacks while waiting. The downstairs area had such a cool speakeasy vibe dark ambiance, vinyl music playing, and honestly the perfect date night atmosphere. The drinks were REALLY good, and you can also order appetizers down there. Once we made it upstairs, we grabbed bar seating and talked to a few people around us who all said this was their favorite spot. Our bartender was amazing -- super attentive, explained the menu well, and gave great recommendations. We ordered the wings (perfectly seasoned and so good) and the chicken sandwich with buffalo added for a little spice... absolutely delicious. I also tried the pistachio martini, and wow definitely one of my favorite drinks I've had in a while. Overall, such a great experience from the atmosphere to the food and service. I'll definitely be back, and I've already been telling all my friends about this place!

First is that it has a big menu, which I don't always feel is a good thing as it risks not really specializing in one area. Well, I was proven wrong. The 'big apple' is a signature dish and one that comes up on many searches, so I went with it. From a regular pic, it might not jump out to you and you may think it's almost like an apple fritter (though nothing wrong with that), but it's so much more. It's almost difficult to describe. It seems like it was cooked in it's own unique bowl-shaped pan since it's crispy all around, including the edges that lift a couple inches. It's surprisingly light, almost like a light, airy crepe. Maybe even a bit like a Yorkshire pudding. Of course, it's sweet and the apple aspect of it was also better than I expected. Almost certainly real apples roasted in house added with cinnamon sugar and not just something prefabricated from a bag and warmed. We had a huge group of three families and everyone loved what they had. The pancakes were a huge hit and were true butter milk pancakes. Those, and many other things, tasted as though made with real butter. My daughter loved her crepes. The friend with me was really impressed with his omelet. It goes on. Another friend had never had potato pancakes before (such as latkes) and loved them here. So yeah, this place was a massive hit for me and about 15 others I was with. Will be back for sure.

    This is undeniably a fantastic burger, probably one of the best I've had in Michigan so far. The…read morequality and consistency are great, though I honestly think the meat would shine even more as a traditional 1/4 or 1/2 pound patty rather than a smash burger. A thicker cut would really let you taste the high-quality flavor of the beef. If you're going to order, here are a few pro tips: Get the sauce on the side: It's an excellent sauce, but you are much better off dipping. Otherwise, the burger will totally get drenched and lose the meat flavor profile. The bacon situation: They smash little bits of bacon directly into the patty. You can barely taste it this way, and it would be significantly better just served as traditional strips on top. So I would prob get it without next time. The Tallow Fries: These have huge potential, but unfortunately, mine arrived pretty soggy via delivery. I should have thrown them in the air fryer to crisp them back up, as I know they would be amazing fresh out of the fryer dripping in tallow. And they would have worked much better as larger almost steak cut fries to let the tallow flavor shine more. However as i ate them, i would still choose cajun 5 guys fries well done over them. My order for a burger and fries came to almost $40 (including tip) through their delivery service. Is it worth that price point for a delivery order? Probably not. However, the core ingredients are so good that I definitely plan to visit the restaurant in person so I can experience the food fresh and at its best.

The brie was just some sort of melted brie slices when before it was a brie fondue sauce. I wanted to cry. This is the quickest way to lose customers.. changing what's tried and true

I do want to start with some thoughts before I give the highlights. We were charged a percent for using a credit card. I cannot speak to the in-person menu, but I combed the online menu and it did not mention that. We were also charged for ranch. Most places do not do that, and we were not informed there would be an upcharge. Most places allow you a sauce to go with fries. Also, for my meal, there is an image of an extra sauce which it did not come with, but we were charged for two small portions of ranch. Last, the server was just okay. I always enthusiastically ask questions to get to know more about a place. I asked if they had any other fruity drinks. She pointed to the drink menu and indicated just the Paloma. I said, but you have a full bar, this is the only fruity drink you make? She did not want to ask the bar, but I asked her to. The bar apparently only came up with one other drink idea, which I ended up getting two drinks listed on the menu (both very good) but it seemed like work for her to go out of her way to inquire. I also bet they could have made many fruity drinks, like maybe a Mai Tai, or some equivalent. Oh well. On the other hand, the Paloma was actually very good. It was a quality Paloma and I do recommend. Their other drink was seasonal with lavender, also a very nice drink. Most of the other places, like Honcho, I have no problem with getting a variety of drinks or inquiring about them, and the bar tender here did a great job. I came here because I was targeted by an ad on Instagram. This place was not on my radar, but since they created a meal (Steak-frites) very similar to Le Relais in Paris and New York, etc... I wanted to try it. It came with bottomless parm fries. The fries were crispy, savory, and delightful. The steak was super well cooked and was like butter. You did not even need a knife, it cut with a fork. Since I love next day leftovers, the steak was still super delicious and tender the next day. It was still like butter and cut with a fork. I would absolutely come back for that and bring the rest of my family. We also tried the tri-tip sandwich. We were told the bread was made fresh. I thought it was very good and very tender. My husband would have liked an au jus or horseradish sauce. He would try the hamburger next, but I would love another steak-frites, like right now! We were sad the coffee and pastry section closed early. In the past, at Honcho, we would get coffee and pastry after dinner since their coffee tends to be really good and quality. I would consider coming for brunch to try some. We talked to a gentleman who was part of the business as he was working hard. He was very kind and knowledgeable and took the time to hear our thoughts. I told him I was here for the steak. He thought I had a "but". I did not, it was great and I hope they can maintain that price point and the second serving of fries, because that was my main reason for visiting. He let us know the menu recently changed. I am not able to compare since this was my first time, but I liked that they had a steak dinner and pizza. If we come back my oldest loves this group's pizza, she gets it at Vinsetta, and this one looked very good.
