I had the lunch combo with chicken soup, which was amazing, salad, and a corn muffin....deeeelicious. I also had the blueberry tea, so good I had to get a refill for the road. Our waitress was awesome, and the atmosphere was perfect. Our food came super fast.

Soggy Bottom is a neighborhood bar whose owner decided he didn't want to serve mediocre bar food. The result is Soggy Bottom now serves upscale bar food. Don't think this means anything fancy because it's not. It's the same bar food you're used to, it's just prepared using better ingredients and with more concern for the final product. Overall, I found the food to be of a far higher quality than one would expect from what is essentially a dive bar. The bar itself is rather dark. The atmosphere is a blend of hipster and working-class. While I was there, I noticed a number of younger college kids drinking limited release craft beers while waiting for the live music to start along with what appeared to be the local drunk drinking Budweiser at the end of the bar.

We stopped at Pestoâs Restaurant for lunch after picking up our daughter from Bishop Airport. Joseph, our waiter, was the best. Very friendly & helpful. There were four of us and each one ordered something different. Every lunch was delicious.We will definitely eat here again. We live about 80 miles from the restaurant so we canât be here as often as we would like.Thank you, Joseph, and all the staff at Pesto. It was truly a great experience and we will be back again soon.

We try and stop at different spots in downtown Flint after meetings. This was our first time here and won't be the last. A group of several ladies we ordered a mix of salads and sandwiches and were not disappointed by any of them. The Sherwood Forest salad was my favorite, chicken was well seasoned. Portions were very generous. The sandwiches ordered by the group were quite large. Everything was fresh and favorable.

We were a party of 6 meeting here for a birthday dinner. The waitress was friendly and served pretty quickly. We ordered appetizers of pretzel & gouda cheese dip, onion petals and dip. The pretzels were delicious. We had various drinks from mojito to beer to ice tea. All were pleased with the selections. The entrees were good - ravioli, impossible burgers, patty melts and ribs. All were happy with their choices.

What have they done to the old coney island? They taste like they bought the meat sause from GFS and the onions were bitter not sweet. The only good thing was the Koegel dog but how can anybody screw up something so basic as a Flint coney?

I had a very disappointing meal at this restaurant tonight. Itâs unfortunate, because just a little over a year ago I wrote a five star review for them. First of all, the restaurant was not busy at all. It was a Tuesday night and I ordered the beer and onion soup, the Salmon Oscar, and a cocktail. The soup came right with the salad which wasnât that big of a deal. I finished eating my salad, while letting the soup cool down a bit because it was served quite hot. However, before I could even get halfway through my soup, my entree arrived. I immediately asked the server to take it back and place it under a warmer because I donât like to eat cold food. I wanted to enjoy my soup. He took it, but he brought it back to me within five minutes and darted away before I could stop him. I was still eating the soup! So, by the time I got my entree, it was stone cold. The mashed potatoes were so cold they were inedible. I ended up asking the server to bring me some hot Hollandaise sauce so I could put it on the salmon to warm it back up. Instead, he brought me a bowl of cold Hollandaise sauce. I had to catch his attention again, which wasnât easy, and ask again for the sauce to be heated up. Iâve had the Salmon Oscar each time Iâve gone to this restaurant, and itâs always been delicious. Tonight, Iâm sure if it had been served me at a reasonable pace, I wouldâve enjoyed a nice hot meal. I donât understand how a restaurant like this, which is rather upscale for this area, would bring everything out at once. My server clearly didnât understand that the customer might want to actually have time to enjoy their food. I wasnât in a rush, and the place wasnât busy so it wasnât as if they needed me to eat fast to accommodate a crowd of hungry people waiting for my table. This was a very big disappointment to me. Eating at a place like this is a splurge, and I looked forward to a relaxing, delicious meal. I certainly donât feel that I got my moneyâs worth tonight, and I did complain to the manager that my food was cold, but she didnât offer any discount. She only commented that my server shouldâve offered to warm my meal back up. He never did offer to do that. Overall, Iâm sure Iâll be back because it is one of my familyâs favorite restaurants. However, I will certainly avoid this particular server, and I wonât order the soup again. It was the most delicious part of my meal, but eating it cost me the chance to enjoy the rest of the meal . Clearly the pacing for this entire dinner was terrible.
