The Laundry

Reviewed By diamondgirlMichigan - Fenton

We come to this restaurant several times a month and always leave happy. It is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The creative menu changes with the seasons and offers something to please everyone. I love the vegetarian offerings, but sometimes I just can’t resist that amazing meatloaf!! There are wonderful cocktails and a very nice selection of beer and wine. Servers are friendly and although the kitchen is sometimes a bit slow, it’s worth the wait!!

Owner and staff are always pleasant and eager to please. Our grandkids like to celebrate a sport win, birthday or just because. There's ample room to sit inside and outside.

Holly Donut Shop

Reviewed By bellasimone

I waited in line today for 10 minutes. I go here every week and do understand that this can be a busy time. However that being said the first car in line given the time it took definitely purchased more than a dozen which should be the limit at a quick serve drive- thru one would think. This would have been ok had an employee/owner not come out another door and proceeded to wait on the person behind me in line.
While I believe their donuts are some of the best around- I will find another place for my Sunday morning donut fix!

Blackthorn Pub

Reviewed By Herman E

Great food, great service, cold beer, list of choices on that too. We have eaten there 4 times and never been disappointed. If was just my bride and I or a party of 20, we we're well cared for treated like royalty.
I would highly recommended this place to anyone who enjoys food. As a bonus, on Sundays, kids eat free!!

Historic Holly Hotel Restaurant

The HISTORIC HOLLY HOTEL RESTAURANTMagic and Memories...While The Historic Holly Hotel is known as a destination restaurant for elegant dining, it is also a perfect setting for weddings and other private social gatherings. Even the smallest dinner party takes on an air of panache and sophistication when held at the Holy Hotel, and weddings, anniversaries, and other milestone events become memories of a lifetime.

We went to the Holly for my nephew's wedding. The private room was lovely and well decorated. The food was delicious. I would recommend the chicken strudel. Service was excellent.

Sagebrush Cantina

Reviewed By boman36 - Linden, Michigan

Returned to Sagebrush after not being there for a while. I tried the burrito and it was really good. I also had some nachos which were also great. They can be more than a single person wants? We happened to walk right in but it can be busy. Ample parking.

....that is the sign above her door and it's really true! The variety of fresh roasted coffee is a good enough reason to visit.... it is excellent!

This was our first dinner at Bittersweet. We’ve had plenty of delicious breakfasts and lunches and weren’t disappointed with dinner. My Monte Cristo, served open faced, was fantastic. Husband’s open faced roast beef sandwich and mashed potatoes was also delicious. Clam chowder was creamy and delicious as well. Craft beer at $3 a bottle was a nice surprise, as was our daughter’s yummy glass of wine.

Our waitress, who was training, was attentive and delightful.

Prices are very reasonable and the restaurant itself is adorable.
Bittersweet has three big wins in our opinion...breakfast, lunch and dinner!
We will be back.
