I don't know who Victoria is, but I can certainly vouch for the Delights part of the name! From the quaint surroundings and charmingly busy atmosphere, to the excellent food, this restaurant is a gem. It's in a very small, downtown village storefront type building,...MoreThank you for your kind words and I hope to introduce myself on your next visit. Just ask for me I am usually back in the kitchen?

Reasonably priced and the vanilla soft serve was very creamy and delicious. We had cyclones, was a bit disappointed that there weren't more toppings in them. Also had their home made pecan ice cream cone that was good sized but my husband thought the flavor was a bit bland.

Mannie's has New York style chewy bagels that can't be beat. Their house made cream cheese flavors are wonderful also. Not a better bagel joint in Michigan!!! We love Mannie's!
4. Forest Mexican Cantina

Don't let the name or the strip mall location fool you. This is a solid Mexican restaurant that serves up great food at even better prices. The inside ambiance is traditional Mexican and the food, in my opinion, is both traditional and excellent. There were three of us for our last visit and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. They also serve up a really good margarita.
5. Bad Brads BBQ

Just tried Bad Brad's in Lake Orion for lunch. We usually go to their place in Shelby. This one is larger & has more outside seating.
Our server, David, did a wonderful job taking care of us.
We split a lunch special & added one side. We were only disappointed in the BBQ chowder. It seemed different, lacking in chunks of pork.
We chose the sliced brisket (melt in you mouth tender), the BBQ beans (smoky combo of beans & meat) & the cornbread (just the right amount of spice).
All wonderful. With 2 soft drinks & a good tip, a great lunch for $22 for two.
6. Sagebrush Cantina

Here's what call ahead seating has meant every time I've used it at Sagebrush or anywhere; guest calls ahead and is placed on the waiting list. When the guest arrives at the pre-scheduled time, they're checked in to be seated at the next available table.
However, last night I called ahead and I was told to be there in 45 minutes. I get there at the 40 minute mark, check in (she see's my name is on the list and draws a line threw it) and then proceeds to tell me "I'll put your name on the wait-list, it'll be about a 45-60 minute wait for a table." Wait a second, that's not call ahead seating??? When I explained my conversation with the woman who took my call to begin with, she just kept saying "sorry... sorry.... sorry". Okay, nice work Sagebrush.
We ended up having a delicious dinner right down the street at Valentine's.... with much better service.
7. 24th Street Tavern

4.5 based on 69 reviews
Great food, atmosphere and value specials on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Reviewed By Walt K - Warren, Michigan
We have always gotten great food and wonderful friendly service here. Good selection of beer (including several Michigan made craft beer. and a wide selection of menu items including appetizers, salads (which are huge), sandwiches (try the Turkey Club), Pitas (I like the Hot Italian), Burgers which are ½ lb. ground round (I’m partial to the Tavern Burger), and many other items! The portions are large and reasonably priced even if you don’t take advantage of the Mon-Wed specials.
Free Parking in the City-owned lot behind 24th Street and the other businesses on the West side of Main Street.
The inside is exactly as the name suggests, your classic tavern/bar. The seating areas are clean and well cared for as are the restrooms. There is also a nice, if rather small, outdoor seating area at the back.
All in all, this is a great place to watch sports and get a good burger or sandwich.

Come in for lunch or dinner - great food, great atmosphere and yes... Bocce is optional! Our food is prepared with the freshest ingredients in the finest Italian tradition.

10. LongHorn Steakhouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 116 reviews
Reviewed By Chuck C - Waterford, Michigan, United States
Three years ago my wife and I decided to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary at Long Horn Steak House. So, this week we decided to return to celebrate another anniversary at Long Horn. We arrived around 4PM in order to avoid a Friday night rush. We both decided to order the 12oz Prime Rib dinner. However, unlike our Anniversary visit to this restaurant in 2014 when the staff treated us very special. This time not so much. We had been talking about delicious, melt in your mouth prime rib for a week. And, our prime rib dinners were good. But, they were not melt in your mouth. More like the Flo Fillet steak dinner, which will remain my favorite here at Long Horn Steak House. The service and presentation was very good.
