India Cafe Farmington, MI
This tiny Indian restaurant is hidden in a strip mall almost not visible from the road. The same strip mall contains an Indian grocery and a Thai Restaurant. The food is not bad and they have a buffet at lunch time. The menu is simple and contains most of the typical Indian dishes that you are used to seeing. Unfortunately, some of them are not described, so if you don't know what something is you will need to get a description from your server and in my experience, these descriptions are not communicated very well because of the language barrier. I especially liked the Palak Paneer which is a spicy creamed spinach dish with homemade Indian cheese. Whether this is really cheese is a question in my mind, but this is always how I see it described on Indian menus. They have Thali plates and various appetizers as well as stuffed and plain breads too. I found the Tandoori Chicken disapointing. The Lamb Vindaloo was nice and hot and the lamb was tasty. They have takeout too, but it does seem to take much too long to get an order filled. Perhaps they do better if you call in your order.
Damon's Kalamazoo, MI
I am not a fan of this style ribs. But if you like the basted style, it is worth a try. I prefer dry rub ribs.
Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar Kalamazoo, MI
Reasonable sandwiches and salads. Not any different than the other Aplebees in the chain.
Woody's Oasis Lansing, MI
Woody's is a small middle eastern restaurant. I like this place because the dishes are authentic and the prices are reasonable.
Jersey Giant Submarine Sndwchs Lansing, MI
The subs are a bit bigger here than the competitors. I do think they are substituting quantity over quality though.
Golden Rose Restaurant Mason, MI
Not great cuisine, but it is one of the only places in this area. It is a piano bar kind of place and they serve alcohol of course. The entrees are just so-so.
Moe's On Ten Novi, MI
This is in the location that used to be called Leon's Family restaurant. But the decor is vastly improved and the style of the plcae is way upscale from what was there previously. They specialize in seafood and do a nice job. I have only been there for lunch and have had seafood and also salads and sandwiches. Everything so far has been great. The staff is freindly and efficient and the owner seems as if he is tring to do the best job possible. The chicken cobb salad was inexpensive and very nicely presented. The seafoood chowder was very tasty too. The fish and chips and the catfish were both very nice. This upscale place has a nice bar too. The seafood prices can get a bit much at lunch, but I notice that they have now added some lunch specials that brought down the potential cost of a meal there. This is a nice addition to the area which really doesn't have much good seafood.
Lazy Lizzrd Cantina Novi, MI
You might have a hard time finding this place. Although the address is Main Street, the actual location is behind a bunch of stores in a complex located off Grand River and not visible from any main road. But it is worth finding. They have a nice assortment of Tex-Mex foods and everybody who goes here really seems to like the place. The chile relejnos are very good as are the soft tacos, the burritos and the various other typical favorites. They have some nice hot sauces on the tables including my favorite; the very hot green habenero sauce. Worth the trouble finding the place.
Mesquite Creek Steakhouse Novi, MI
I like this place. They have some great entrees. The burgers are very large and have a nice ground sirloin taste. The big steaks are good too. They have a few southwestern dishes thaty are nicely prepared and the salad is a nice starter. They do have a bar. Now if they only would lose the loud live entertainment that they have onece in a while, this place would be perfect.
Happy Sushi Novi, MI
This is a sushi restaurant. It is located in a strip mall. They have nice plates at lunchtime and they do have a sushi bar. I don't think they are Japanese folks though because when I tried to speak with them, they didn't understand. Maybe my Japanese is getting rusty. Anyway, the Sushi was fresh and pretty good. It wasn't first class, but good none the less and reasonably priced.
Red Robin Novi, MI
This is a nostalgia themed burger place. They do a nice job on the burgers. And they have other kinds of sandwiches, soups and salads too. The young wait staff is attentive and everyone tries hard to please. The many variations of burger types should please just about anyone. They won't make them rare though. Too bad.
Ruby Tuesday Novi, MI
This chain restaurant is located in the 12 Oaks mall. The strong point is the big salad bar. If you are in the mood for rolling your own salad, this is a good place to do it. I haven't had fantastic luck with the rest of the menu items, but the soup and salad special is always a good deal.
Italian Epicure Novi, MI
Well, it isn't all Italian. And I would hardly call it epicurian. But it is a fairly good place. Here are the good things and the bad things. On the good side, it is never very crowded and there are a lot of tables. On the bad side, it is never very crowded and the food tends to be served heavy on the oils. Prices are a bit higher than they should be for what they serve too. This place used to be called the Country Epicure and that was a bad description, but changing it to the Italian Epicure didn't make much more sense. Lots of parking. I guess taht goes with it never being very crowded...
Kentucky Fried Chicken Novi, MI
This is a bigger than average KFC. So if you need to take out food for the office or to take home, they aren't usually out of chicken. A KFC is a KFC is a KFC though and there is not much to say that differentiates this one from another. They do take credit cards.
New Peking Restaurant Novi, MI
Just so-so Chinese food. Ther are so many good Chinese restaurants in the area, so after two disappointing experiences here, I didn't go back.
Red Hot and Blue Barbeque Novi, MI
I love barbeque. I hated this place. What a waste of time and money. The food was greasy and flavorless. The side dishes didn't help either. This place won't last long.
B D's Mongolian Barbeque Okemos, MI
Like the rest of ther Mongolian Barbeques, the select your ingredients and have it cooked on the grill theme works and people enjoy being creative in making their own food choices. You can eat a lot if you want and take small portions and go back several times if you want. They serve rce and tortillas (yes!) to complimetn the stir fry style dishes you create and the cooks prepare for you.
Tunnel Bar-B-Q Windsor, ON
This place is not fancy, but the ribs are very good. And they are the dry rub variety, which are harder to find. They have a few different kinds of sauces on the table. None of them are particularly very spicy, but they ae all different and interesting.
The Original Pancake House Chicago, IL
A breakfast kind of place, but serves other things too. Not particularly impressive. It caters to the ofice worker downtown. Not a destination, but fine for a fueling if you are in between meetings and need a quick snack.
Red Cedar Grill Williamston, MI
I've only been at lunh time, but I really liked those meals. The sandwiches and salds are great and this place is a real oasis in Willaimston.
