    Chicken clucker with side of Mac
    Christina G.

    Located at the nexsus of downtown Almont. Place of awful traffic going North in Van Dyke is roots. We have passed this place so many times and finally decided to stop in- it was Friday afternoon around 3:00 PM. The space has bar, table seating and extra large booths. Beware the booths are so big I predict you can fit 8-10 people great for a large party. Booths are also so big that my feet didn't touch the ground and it was hard to get in and out. Good we tried the "clucker" a grilled chicken and bacon sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese, pretzel sticks, loaded tots and the chopped salad. This was WAY too much food for two people. However, pretzels were good, the gooey bar cheese stole the show on the tater tots, chopped salad also good (nice touch with the thin fried onions) and the Mac and cheese was loved! Seriously that bar cheese is gooey and good. We didn't get any BBQ to try. But I like what they are doing and will totally be back! And those tots were amazing- I though I was dining light tots and a salad but no- still had to pack it up. The service was fantastic!! Our server was very attentive, drink refills without asking, helped us with a to go order, it was an all round good experience.

    I went on a Tuesday night after work and had a great time. The food & drinks were great and the staff were even better. Jen the hostess & Nikki the server went above and beyond! I highly recommend the smoked chicken pasta

    I've tried Roots a handful of times and have not had a good experience. The quality of food for the price is brutal.

    Came in for lunch on Father's Day. Buffet was great. Rib Meat fell off the bone. Brisket was so tender. All the sides were delicious.

    Monday, 9/30/24…read more Review #498 "Where everybody knows, your name...And they're always glad you came!" This is another Local diner for Breakfast and Lunch in Almont called Maria's Place. My niece is a local in Almont and while visiting her for the day back in November 2023, she treated Me to a delicious and plentiful lunch here inside Maria's Place at 141 S. Main Street in downtown Almont. No street parking therefore park in back and use their convenient back door. The deco inside is old fashioned so check out the views all the way around. This restaurant is certainly a family place of traditional dining serving large portions too. The Menus are designed with Big Appetites in mind, so enjoy and clean your plate or take the rest home. The staff truly enjoy their jobs as they smile! Create Your Own Omelet with 3 eggs, 12" wrap sandwiches, appetizers, salads, grilled sandwiches, Homemade Soups and Chili, Breakfast Bowls, Big Burgers with .99 add on. Crazy Big Burgers come with fries. Kid's Menu has several options that My Great Nephew enjoyed too plus his chocolate milk. :-) And a coloring book with crayons to use. Check out Today's Special Board & Dessert Board too for an example from the photo I posted. Maria's Place serves Special Large Meals. So eat lunch as a dinner meal since their dining hours are 7 AM - 2 PM, Monday through Sunday. I enjoyed My visit with the local efficient and fast employees and the Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and a Chicken Salad Croissant that was loaded with fresh chunks of chicken meat. The place has a outstanding atmosphere, hard working staff with a passion, and delicious lunch. I still need to get back here and enjoy their famous and stuffed omelets! Smaczne I say and Local they are! Phone: (810) 798-3308 for carry out orders too. NO Reservations. This Business is listed on the DDA list - Downtown Development Authority. Sincerely, Karen N. SpecialK :-)

    Great menu. Good food portions. Very friendly staff. Love this place. I couldn't recommend it more.read more

    My daughter & I wanted to go here for Mother's Day weekend. We went on Saturday, day before…read moreMother's Day. First time going here, it had popped up in my FB feed & looked pretty cool so I wanted to check it out. Right downtown Almont. Parked in the street which was bad idea for that weekend-alot of traffic with events going on. At least there's a crosswalk though since we were parked on opposite side of street. So cool inside once we got in! Very festive! Loved it. We wanted a real Mexican restaurant to support and this seems to be it. I wish I knew the servers name, she was awesome. They have happy hour on Saturday-so thankful for that! Want them to know how much that was appreciated. We were able to order a dessert to split because that saved some $$. I don't know if any restaurant off hand that carries happy hour over into the weekend. Our server was able to help us decide on which Marquita specials to try-lots of flavors. I have to say I got a spicy Mexican one & it was my favorite! She asked if I wanted the rim done & I said yes. Holy moly! SPICY! They had some food specials also so my daughter ordered from that as she wasn't as hungry as I was. I think it was 3 pulled pork tacos(?) I got with the refried beans. It was pouring rain that day so we didn't get to sit on the patio...definitely will be going back here many times. Can't say anything bad about our experience!

    First time visit and the food was amazing. We normally go to a place north of here, my shrimp tacos…read morewere much more flavorful. Gotta love the special taco plates. Comes with rice and beans, but I asked for lettuce & pico instead. Service is top notch too. Fried ice cream is the real deal!

    We got carry out here and we're pretty much disappointed with everything…read more My husband ordered a Greek salad with grilled chicken and an order of breadsticks. The salad looked great! Chicken grilled nicely! BUT no salad dressing on it or in the carry-out bag. WTH! Greek salad dressing is not something we have on in fridge so he had to muddle through with whatever we had on hand. My mom ordered chicken picatta. Her chicken was probably over cooked as it was tough or maybe that was just the chicken breast. I don't recommend ordered this for carryout either, especially in colder weather as the sauce on it and the butter on the green beans congealed and looked rather disgusting. I ordered the chicken tender dinner. I was pleasantly surprised that the chicken tenders were homemade and not pulled out if the freezer and then cooked. Very seasoned - which I enjoyed but if you want a plan ol' chicken tender like most restaurants would have, you may not like these as there was a bit of what seemed like Italian seasoning in the batter. It came with a side salad and mashed potatoes. I did not eat either of those that night as I had eaten all five chicken tenders and a few breadsticks. The next evening I pulled the mashed potatoes out of the fridge and tasted them before I put them in the microwave to see if I wanted to add any seasoning. I honestly do not know if they were ok to eat or not. They had a strange taste to them - a slight tang that just didn't sight right on my palette, like an ingredient was sour that they used when making it. Finally, my side salad was a miss. The lettuce itself was fresh and it had about three slices of cucumber and two cherry tomatoes on it. That's it - quite simple salad. However, I wanted thousand island dressing either it and the small container of it had a 12/24 date written on the top. Did they make the dressing that day or put it in the containers that day??? Either way, that's a bad vibe given we placed our order on Jan 9th. I know the salad dressing, if bottled, would still be good, but seeing that date from over two weeks prior is off putting. Supposedly this place got a new chef recently. Maybe it's time to get another because based on what we experienced on Jan 9th, I won't be back. Sadly, we paid $72 for the lackluster food that we had.

    Always have great service here. The bartenders are tentative and good TV coverage if watching the…read moregames. The reuben with Wigley's corned beef is very good, as well as the other entrees.
