Hi I absolutely love this please, I am very picky about…read moreservice and cleanliness as well as food preparation. I have over a half 1 million followers on Google because of my restaurant reviews. I've been to this place numerous time now coming from California three years ago and have yet to find, a restaurant that not only has amazing food, many things, homemade, and made of love the staff the owners have went above and beyond to bring new life to this area! I live down the street and I attend often now because it is my 1st go to restaurant! They have so many selections (including vegetarian) it's hard to decide have so many selections. . I have never once got a horrible meal from there!! and I'm very picky about cleanliness and I couldn't be more satisfied, I definitely suggest dining in, calling in an order or drive-through Enjoy!! You will not be disappointed in this family ran establishment!

I appreciate they put a light fry on the ham slice and did the potatoes in my skillet old school thin. I really wasn't very impressed though not for what I expected since the parking lot is always full. There is plenty of parking and plenty of seating and it's off of main road close to gas stations and other things.

If you're craving real, old-school comfort food, Grandma's Recipes absolutely delivers…read more We both ordered the fried chicken, which takes about 25-30 minutes because it's made fresh and it shows. The batter is thin, crispy, and not overly heavy, and the flavor feels like something straight out of a home kitchen. This isn't fast-food fried chicken... this is Sunday dinner at grandma's. The meal itself is a lot of food for around $17: four pieces of chicken, real mashed potatoes with homemade gravy, a vegetable, a potato, plus a salad and a cup of homemade chicken noodle soup with those old-school egg noodles. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, not processed or rushed. We also tried the fried mushrooms everyone talks about, and they lived up to the hype. They use large portobello mushrooms, which makes a huge difference. No watery, soggy bite like you get at a lot of places, just a clean, meaty texture with a crispy coating. The atmosphere is calm and cozy. Lighting is dim enough to feel relaxed, and with only about 20 tables, it's not loud or chaotic. No kids running wild or constant traffic in and out, just a laid-back, "take your time" kind of vibe. The space has a log cabin feel with exposed wood, vintage décor, and black-and-white photos. The tables and chairs aren't fancy, but they're clean and fit the nostalgic charm. Service was great during our visit. Our waitress was attentive, checked on us regularly, took our order quickly, and everything came out hot. I've seen mixed reviews about inconsistent service, but our experience (first visit) was very positive. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a win. Between the generous portions, fair pricing, and genuinely homemade feel, this is the kind of place you come back to. They also offer daily specials and make many of their own desserts. I'll definitely be back to try the coconut cream pie. Overall: Comfort food done right, with a cozy, no-frills atmosphere and excellent value.

It has been awhile since I have been here -- and I finally got to take my wife for the first time…read more I ordered my go-to, the hot roast turkey. The turkey they use is smoked and tastes amazing! The gravy smothered over the sandwich and mashed potatoes adds even more flavor. I ordered a side of green beans with the meal, and they tasted good - not canned. The turkey club was ordered without tomato and came out as ordered - it was huge and also had the smoked turkey on it. So good! Coleslaw tasted good as did the cheese sticks. Our server was attentive and kept checking on us. She kept the drinks coming - even after we paid our bill. Love that they check on you, even after you have paid. The inside is still outdated and the seats are not the most comfortable, but that's fine. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. I need to come back here again real soon!

I've lived in flint for awhile, and I've seen most of the places around for food. But not this one!…read moreI decided to order a few things from here on my lunch break to try it out. And I was so surprised on how amazing and incredibly impressive it was. I called about a half hour ahead so they could have ample time to make everything in the order. I came in, the store was very clean and had a very nice dimly lit, Italian Mob style decor and ambience to it. It was so fun to see the Sopranos on a mural in the dining area as I went to pick up my food. It was new and unique. I went to the cashier to pick up my food, and she greeted me with a smile and efficient service. She asked me important questions like if I needed ranch, napkins, a receipt, a drink, that sort of thing. It was good to see that even on the front line? The kitchen ensures that everything is brought out exactly as (if not better than) the customer ordered. I believe the owner came out as well for a brief moment. He struck me initially as a very strong business owner and a kind personality with both employees, and customers alike. I got my food and drink, and when I went back to work to eat it, I was incredibly shocked! It was still hot from the fryer, they put the perfect amount of sauce on the chicken, the corn bites were hot and fresh as well. I wasn't expecting to be blown away by a simple chicken plate, but I'm glad to be surprised. Overall? Go here. Get some chicken! Get a few sides too! It may be a mid-level price point for chicken, but it is so worth the few extra dollars for excellent service, clean store, and even better food. I'm very difficult to impress with food. Wing Fellas on 4242 Miller Road has exceeded all expectations and passed every test with flying colors. Like I said before? Go here as soon as you can. You will NOT regret it!!!!! If I could give them 10 stars I would. I have to settle for 5. But it's just not enough.

They know what they're doing and the prices are great. Today I decided to try the catfish in the shrimp. Catfish pieces are large and super clean. I was so pleased I hate when you bite into a piece of fish and see that gray stuff. Macaroni and cheese was really creamy the noodles were a little too soft for me but the flavor was great. The shrimp was amazing. It's some kind of thick beer batter. They are jumbo so they are quite large probably only need two or three of them. I think I got nine pieces for $17 or something. I'm glad this place is close to my house less than 1 mi. I used to go to chicken and fish affair on Fenton Road until the fire and their closure. I will definitely be back here several times. As I try various items I will update my review.

Charcoal & Ash was honestly one of the worst dining experiences we've had in a long time…read more We walked into a half-empty restaurant and were quoted a 40-45 minute wait for a table, so we decided to sit at the bar instead. It still took nearly 20 minutes just to get menus and order drinks. I ordered a whiskey sour that literally smelled like wet dog and somehow tasted even worse. After waiting another 30 minutes to order food, we found out multiple items on the menu were already unavailable including BOTH vegetarian options I opted for, despite this apparently being a newer menu. I ended up ordering a pizza while my husband ordered a sandwich and the whipped feta dip appetizer. Then things somehow got worse. We watched the pizza I ordered get offered to THREE different bar guests and TWO tables before being taken back into the kitchen to sit another 10 minutes. Meanwhile, our appetizer arrived ice cold, with the center still partially frozen. The "grilled" peppers in the dip were freezing cold too. They gave maybe 7 tiny pita pieces for the entire dish. Wasteful, gross, and honestly embarrassing to serve. Eventually the pizza that had already toured the restaurant arrived cold. Then it took another 15 minutes for my husband's sandwich to arrive -- after we also watched staff repeatedly attempt to deliver HIS meal to the wrong tables. The food itself was mid at best even if it had been served properly. My husband's sandwich was half empty, the menu is extremely underwhelming, and the prices are absolutely not justified. To top it all off, the bartender barely checked on us the entire time. Overall: disorganized service, cold food, missing menu items, poor quality, and absolutely not worth the money. We left grossed out and disappointed.

This evening I ordered the following from DoorDash:…read more * Pasta Verdura (x1) * Side Caesar (x2) I very clearly stated to NOT place my cold salads on top of hot pasta in the bag. I have to state this because they always do this. When my order was delivered I received the Verdura and one House Salad, not my two Caesar Salads. In addition, the House Salad was on top of the hot pasta and was therefore hot as well. Furthermore, the pasta was swimming in sauce. I called the restaurant and spoke with a gentleman. I believe his name was James. I explained the errors to him. He did not apologize at all. In fact, he told me that I either did not enter the note appropriately, or it did not come through on their end. He said that he bagged up my order. He also said nothing about the salad screwups. I told him that putting cold salads on top of hot pasta is their common practice with my orders, he said nothing. I told him that I was bringing this to his attention so that they could improve this practice. Once again, no response. I said to him that not putting cold salads on top of hot pasta should be common sense. He replied with, "I'm not going to have this discussion with you. You can take it up with DoorDash. Well, I am going to take it up with DoorDash and Sauce just lost a frequent and loyal customer. If he bagged up my order he obviously did not check to ensure the order was accurate. His attitude sucked: no apology and blaming the customer. Disgraceful! P.S. No salad dressing with the House Salad.

We live in the Flint area and have eaten at Blackstone many times over the years. Unfortunately,…read moreafter today, we will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this restaurant based primarily on how we were treated by the owner and staff. We had a $25 Blackstone gift card that we received a few years ago. I completely understand that we should have used it sooner, but we simply didn't have it with us on previous visits. Today, we presented it and were told it would not be honored because, according to the waitress, the restaurant had changed ownership. I asked to speak with the owner because I wanted to have a reasonable conversation and find a fair solution. The restaurant is still Blackstone, at the same address, and operating continuously under the same name. I also explained my understanding that federal law provides protections for gift-card holders and asked him to at least see whether the card could be verified or processed. The card has a scan strip and serial number, and we even had the original receipt showing the $25 balance. His response was that he had no way to scan it and that it was the previous owner's responsibility. I asked him to try or find another way to verify it, but he refused. What really bothered me wasn't the $25. It was the complete unwillingness to even attempt to find a reasonable solution. Instead, the conversation became increasingly defensive and confrontational. At one point, he told me that he was a small-business owner who was struggling and couldn't be expected to take responsibility for someone else's obligation. I explained that I am also a small business owner and understand the challenges, but I also believe that taking care of customers and doing what is right matters. He then told me, specifically, that he DOES NOT care about his customers or their reviews. That's a pretty shocking thing to hear from a business owner. Eventually, after the argument, he yelled that he would give us the $25 off. But by that point, it felt less like an attempt to resolve the situation and more like something he was throwing at us after attacking us for even asking. Then, immediately afterward, our server made a sarcastic comment along the lines of, "So can I get $25 off too? Can I give everyone $25 off?" It was condescending and made us feel like we were somehow unreasonable for expecting a gift card to be honored. The owner then stormed off with the card. That he kept. We ultimately paid our bill in full with cash and left a fair tip. We did not accept the $25 discount because, at that point, accepting it didn't feel like the right way to resolve the situation. As we left, we told the owner we had paid our bill in full and wished him a good day. His response was a sarcastic "thank you." And that's really the disappointing part. $25 should never be worth losing a customer over. There were countless ways this could have been handled professionally. He could have tried to verify the card, offered a reasonable compromise, or simply had a respectful conversation with us. Instead, he chose to become confrontational and make us feel like we were the problem for asking a reasonable question. As for the food, it was a mixed experience. My date had the chicken club sandwich and said it was just "meh." It had very little meat on it. I had the ribs, which I thought were good I'd give them about 3.5 stars. The dry rub was good, and I ordered the sauce on the side, although the small dipping container provided wasn't nearly enough for the full order. Overall, I'd put the food somewhere around 2 stars. We sat outside, which I actually enjoyed because Back to the Bricks was going on and I like being able to watch the cars. There was a band playing inside, and it was extremely loud. If you're looking for a dinner where you can actually have a conversation, I'd recommend sitting outside. Unfortunately, the food isn't what will keep me from coming back. The owner and staff are the reason. I'd give the customer service experience zero stars. One other thing I find confusing: the owner repeatedly emphasized that this is a "different company" because ownership changed. Yet the restaurant is still operating under the same name, at the same address, and the online review history appears to continue as though it is the same establishment. If the new ownership truly considers this an entirely different company, I would think creating a new business presence and review page would make that distinction much clearer. I'm generally a very reasonable customer. I wasn't asking for anything outrageous. I simply wanted a $25 gift card addressed to the restaurant to be acknowledged and, at the very least, for someone to make a good faith effort to determine whether it could be honored. Instead, I left feeling attacked for even asking. Blackstone has lost me as a customer. We won't be back, and based on our experience today, I cannot recommend it.
