Side Street Diner is one of those places you end up going back to again and again because it just never misses. I swear I've never had a bad meal here. Everything tastes fresh, like actually fresh. Even the fruit! Usually diner fruit is that sad bowl of mushy melon cubes... not here. It's bright, fresh, and clearly cut that morning. My go-to is the quiche and I order it almost every time. It comes with a bran muffin and that fresh fruit and it's just the perfect little breakfast plate. I've also had the veggie Benedict which is fantastic. And their breakfast potatoes; Pro tip: ask them to add onions. Soooo good. Crispy, savory, just hits the spot. The service is also top notch. This is a tight crew that's worked together for years. Everyone moves like a well-oiled machine and they're genuinely nice, not that fake diner nice. The vibe is a cute, eclectic little diner with lots of personality. Nothing fancy, just cozy and welcoming. Honestly one of my favorite restaurants. Always consistent, always delicious. I'll keep coming back. read more

This is a wonderful place with an extensive menu. Great service every time and I have never a bad meal there. Their soups are out of this world and change regularly. Daily specials are outstanding. And one of these days, I'm gonna actually save room for dessert (though we've taken many a homemade ding-dong home with us!) read more

My family has been coming here for years and it's always such a cute spot. The service is really nice every time, super friendly and welcoming. The carryout cakes are really good too. It's a great go-to for birthdays or last-minute plans when you want something easy but still nice. read more

One of our favorite neighborhood spots in the village. Lots of parking. Cute outdoor patio. Super friendly service. Great coffee with "Grandpa Cups" (Just like the one my Grandpa had his morning coffee in ) Love their Eggs Benedict...the hollandaise sauce is fantastic & the generous fresh fruit side makes this satisfying breakfast even better. Oh! & don't forget to try their homemade cakes. I love the yellow cake with butterscotch frosting If you haven't tried SideStreet, you're missing out. Lots of Detroit themed art & memorabilia adorns the walls. read more

By far our favorite diner nearby. The food is great with an extensive menu. They are accommodating with my gluten allergy. The staff makes you feel like family coming in. They have superb dessert too (according to my kids and husband). The atmosphere has a cool vintage meets new age vibe. Very clean! Super kid friendly! Highly recommended them! read more

I visit Grosse Pointe only once or twice each year. Side street is always a must visit place! I am never disappointed here. The lemonade is tasty, and the Mac And cheese dinner With house salad is delicious! I love their homemade ranch dressing. The service is always great as is the ambience and variety of decorations. Keep up the lovely work, what a great spot! read more

Amazing! The cranberry walnut bread is the best I've ever had. It has all the flavors that compliments the chicken salad. I typically ask for slightly toasted and add lettuce. I'm not even a fan of nuts in my food lol. But this is worth every penny. read more

Side Street Diner - Chicken Waldorf Salad Sandwich - Diners Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

I went to Side Street Diner with a friend in the early afternoon on a weekday recently. We grabbed a booth in the back, and it was really noisy with patrons, crying toddlers and bus people slinging pots, pans, dishes and silverware. The server was kind and friendly, but harried. I asked for water with no ice. Received a glass with nearly all ice and no water. One of the soups of the day was Chicken Noodle though. It was delicious and comfy hot on this blustery day. My Reuben Melt was basically a grilled Reuben sandwich. The difference was not discernible. The sauerkraut was bland the the grilled bread was greasy. I asked for the coleslaw side and that was very tasty. All in all, i guess the place is OK, but i do not recommend it when it's busy. read more

This is a charming restaurant! I've been here several times and always have a good meal and great service.

Side Street Diner is one of this area's top comfort food locations! For one, the staff is killing it. They are on time like the hands of a clock and make sure everything is to your satisfaction. The place houses an exceptionally chill vibe with a calm, soothing, and you're about to get fat atmosphere on some damn fine food. The meatloaf & old school Patty melt are my go-to staples. They always have fresh cakes that melt in your mouth like butter on a hot biscuit!!! Soups are all terrific for when you're there, and the weather is chilly. Straight up, the wife and I are stoked about this place permanently!!! Damn it, now I'm starving. /.One Love!!!.\ read more

Always good. Always good service. Some menu things are over my budget, but other stuff is priced right. They have homemade king dongs!

Wonderful neighborhood diner. What more could you ask for? Great food decent pricing the friendliest people you will ever meet.

The food is nothing to write home about. It's okay and my first and only time eating there I had a modest burger . This is where it gets interesting ...the BATHROOM . I was at the urinal and heard the toilet flushed, what appeared to be the cook brushed pass me without washing his hands, how atrocious ! After Covid you would expect people to be more sanitary . read more

Side Street Diner - Dinty Moore and a side of slaw. - Diners Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

As always, exceptional service, delicious food, and the home town diner ambiance I love. We had some of the pumpkin chili to start off. So yummy and perfect food for the cool fall weather. We enjoyed the adult cheese sandwich and fish and chips then finished the visit with Carmel yellow cake and rice pudding. The cake frosting had a hint of butterscotch or at least I thought so and mmmmm so yummy. Great place for my birthday dinner read more

Super cute and Doris approved 4.6 Sat outside. Was greeted within two minutes of sitting which I love. Had everything we needed including an umbrella to block the sun. There is a basket of extra napkins, salt, pepper, things of that nature on the table. We didn't feel rushed. Started with chips and guacamole, which was delicious. The bowl was lined with lettuce which I don't necessarily like but everything was very fresh. I also had a cup of clam chowder- it was made with love. And we had two wraps to go both yummy. I do recommend. Street parking as their parking lot is under construction until end of July. This is perfect for a lazy lunch or something delicious but not fancy oh, and well priced for everything plus 20% tip the bill was $58 dollars. read more

We came here for lunch. The club I got was very tasty. The kids meals were not typical kids meals (in a good way). The kids Mac and cheese was very tasty and a welcome change from the over-priced Kraft many restaurants serve. The kid's breakfast was a decent size. Friendly service too. read more

I went here with my family and was VERY disappointed in the service. The most memorable time was when we were being bussed. The busser in question was named Brayden I believe. While writing down our drinks and taking orders he contently was getting side tracked and forgetting our orders whilst having a attitude towards me and my wife. He also made sexual comments towards my daughter even after she said she was uncomfortable. This is the First and LAST time I come here until this issue is solved. please get your employs under control. read more

I've been back many times for breakfast/brunch since my initial review and the service and food has been consistent. I tend to order egg dishes (mostly omelettes) and have never been disappointed. The Peasant, Western, and Country omelettes are my favorites. I also enjoy the corned beef hash and the Eggs Benedict. The portions are well-sized and the service is friendly. As noted previously, however, it is not a large place, so you may have to wait at peak times. read more

Wow! I love this place year round!! The food is made in house fresh by people who actually care, and you can taste that in the dishes! Always a tremendous selection of soups & chili's in addition to sandwiches, salads & hot plates! The service is so kind & excellent they make you feel right at home while you eat your home cooking:). The ambiance is classic neighborhood homey warm. Also don't over think it, save room for there delicious desserts!!! Go there, eat, you'll be so glad you did!! read more

My sister and I went to this restaurant today and had the most amazing experience! We met Stacey who was our most delightful server, she knew her product and very obviously loved what she does. I ordered a Maurice salad ( absolutely delicious! ) my sister had the corned beef hash which she also loved. We really also wanted coffee. It came and tasted great! We looked up and saw a sign that said Cadillac Coffee. The tears flowed, our brother passed away two days ago, he sold CadillacCoffee his whole life and would tell you all about it every chance he got we told Stacey and she cried with us! We were treated like royalty! It made our day. We are flying home to California but will be back to see Stacey and Sue ( the owner, who is also lovely) please support this incredible business there is a lot of heart going on here!!!! read more

My wife found this place years ago and it's one of our favorite small diners! The food is beyond excellent, whether it be breakfast plates, sandwiches, or some comfort food dinners! Their rotating pies and cakes make meal decisions difficult because you always want to add a slice for dessert! It's small, but not compact or crowded. It's great for kids and their service is always excellent- they really seem to enjoy their jobs and talking with people! read more

Side Street Diner - Diners Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

Very good. Very fast and friendly service. Husband and I went in for a late lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. There was plenty of parking available and no wait for a table. Our food came out quickly but didn't feel rushed. I ordered the turkey reuben and husband ordered the Celtic club and a side of french fries to share. Both sandwiches came with a small side of pasta salad or coleslaw. I picked the slaw and he picked the pasta, both were tasty. Took a piece of butter pecan cake togo, cake was soft and delicious but the frosty was just okay. Definitely will be back. read more

Great breakfast, with so many options and a hidden potato menu. I usually get the traditional breakfast and my potatoes always have cheese and onion / pepper. It's so good. Definitely ask the waitress how to dress your potatoes. The breakfast burrito is tasty, it's more of a wrap with salsa but that's pretty normal for a Michigan / suburban place. I have also gotten the feta cheese omelette and that is dope, full of feta, and tasty. My husband has gotten the salmon Benedict and the biscuits and gravy and he had enjoyed them. They are pretty traditionally cooked. The salmon is fresh enough and the biscuits appear to be homemade. They also have take out, pie, and desserts that look dope. read more

Went on a Friday during lent, got Fish, that was fried. I could only eat one piece it was soon greasy! I really wish they would do the fish better. I took the other piece home, but threw it out, since the piece I ate, made me ill. Used to be a place I went to often, never again!! read more

I got food poisoning... bad. I came here after a long flight. I was starving and my brother recommended this place. I am plant-based so there weren't many options for me at all on the menu which was already a red flag. But I decided to get the vegetarian chili. I placed an order and went to pick it up. I was not greeted when I walked in, and I had to take it upon myself to greet them and ask them for my order. Red flag number two. There were lots of people inside so it seems to be a local favorite... But I would never eat here again. The chili was awful. The worst I've ever had. I only ate it because of how hungry I was. A few hours later comes some of the worst stomach pain and nausea I've ever experienced. I had the full food poisoning experience. I won't get into detail but I'm sure you know what this means. I'm horrified by this restaurant! read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat for a quick, delicious meal. The menu is pretty big, but everything I have ordered has been great. The inside is eclectic with a mix of Irish, retro, and Elvis theme which makes it fun and relaxed. Highly recommend! read more
