We love this place! It's a gem tucked into Ypsi Township. I get the hippie hash every time, they make perfect poached eggs and their veg scramble has the best peppers. Their staff is always friendly -- a really solid neighborhood cafe that I wish more folk knew about across the county. read more

There were 9 of for breakfast!! All our meals were delicious!! The service was great too!!!

American Grill a neighbor treasure! Great breakfasts. My wife loves their "hippie hash" but it's all good. Lunch is tasty too. I'm partial to the Slim Jim sandwich. And the service is always friendly. read more

American Grille - Diner - American Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

I go fairly regularly, incredible food and service every time. A special place, no doubt.

This is the second time we've ordered from American Grille. We chose Sunday breakfast from them because it was great the first time. I ordered 2 Eggs Any Style with grits and mini pancakes. My wife ordered Hippie Hash without mushrooms. I asked that the driver text or call when they arrived. I did NOT receive the scrambled eggs. The Hippie Hash HAD mushrooms. And the driver left the order sitting in the cold on the front porch. No call. No text. May not order a third time. read more

Best home fries in Ypsi - the price is right and the staff is friendly - and a nice variety of food selections

Just what you expect at a good old fashioned diner on the side of the road. Freshly made food at good prices and great service! Seems everything the make is fresh! This is not an IHOP or Denny's by a great diner with freshly made food. I had their special hash with lots of meat and veggies. My coworker had the liver and onions. The food was great! Fast service and great food will keep me coming back to this place near my office for lunch. read more

Reminiscent of old school grabbing breakfast at "the coney". Your not coming here for frills, your in and out with a bill reminiscent of the 90s. I love me a breakfast, coffee and OJ from concentrate. Just reminds me times long gone with people long gone. Definitely worth giving a whirl, especially if your a sentimental sap like me! read more

American Grille - a plate of food on a table - American Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Fantastic diner. Best corned beef hash and perfectly prepared poached eggs made for an appealing resumption of Pre- COVID times. Side of pancakes to boot. Nice n light, the way I like them. Decent coffee even!! Great waitresses. All around excellent diner without the heavy grease and blandness of too many these days. Corned beef has had yellow peppers n onions with the potatoes. Just a perfect treat to return to living life out in the world again. Do yourself a favor. Make sure you leave the wait staff a good tip! read more

This place is pure Ypsi, and I love Ypsi. It's a small diner with huge windows. Usually a small crowd of older people working type people. The servers are always on point, and good with the coffee refills. The breakfast potatoes are really as good as the other reviews say, and I am always happy mixing them in with a standard but excellent veggie omelette. This place ranks pretty high in my breakfast rotation when I want something low key but high read more

Wide variety of diner options. Hash browns: cook through, not burnt. Pancakes: toddler approved Biscuits and gravy: phenomenal! Especially in the sunrise breakfast with a slab of sausage and American cheese under the gravy. Smoothies: haven't tried them yet but I'm happy to see them on the menu. Servers: every server here has been great with the kids, friendly, attentive, and on top of beverage refills. Accessibility: heavy chemical perfume smell from the floor cleaner. No stairs but no electric door assist. Tables with chairs that have cushions as well as booths with moveable tables. read more

This place has been, and will continue to be my favorite diner. I feel so at home here! Though I'm a regular at this point, I remember it didn't take long for the wait staff to remember my drink order and have it ready for me as they brought menus. My favorite things about this place are their friendly wait staff, amazing breakfast specials, and their adaptability regarding my vegetarian needs. The food is nice and affordable; especially their breakfast specials. My partner and I can get two specials and one drink (I always get water) for $10. That's not bad at all. The menu options are what one would expect from a diner; American breakfast staples, burgers, fries/onion rings, a few other sides, and a few Mediterranean dishes including falafels and hummus. My partner and I are vegetarian, and they're always more than happy to make substitutions with our food. He'll get a burger with falafel patties instead of beef. I get the falafel wrap with hummus. The falafel patties are flavorful and have a nice texture. They've got shakes, smothies, soups, salads, and deserts. I think there's something for everyone here. Definitely recommended if you're in the area! read more

I've been coming here since 2007, it used to go under the name Holmes Rd Diner. I usually get their delicious omelets with home fries, occasionally hash browns. Great food for a very reasonable price. read more

I've seriously never had bad food from here & my food is always hot fresh and cooked to order from the burgers to the breakfast skillets, chicken and waffles & OMG THE HOME FRIES are to die for. They taste just like your grandmother made them with the perfectly cooked onions, peppers & just the right seasoning. The only thing I will recommend is if you order the homemade corned beef hash have it made with the hone fries instead of the hash brown because the hash browns aren't so good. Other than that I love this place read more

Nice little grill in a hidden away location. It's an older building but inside very clean with pleasant wait staff. I had the biscuits w sausage gravy - only $3.99 for this HALF order! +$1 for the added two eggs! The gravy & fluffy biscuits were almost as good as what I could make at home BUT with less the hassle & cleanup! Yum! (Being a Southern gal that is HIGH praise!) They actually served the bacon really crisp, per my request! That's kinda rare for most places! Give this place a try, you won't be sorry AND you'll leave with a full belly & money STILL in your pocket! A great value!! read more

Just got breakfast this morning ordered breakfast special with scrambled eggs with cheese bacon and sausage with grits with home fries everything was great but the home fries they tasted like freezer burnt bag potatoes gross absolutely disgusting they definitely were not fresh and I paid over ten dollars unacceptable I will not be ordering again and that's not the firs time this has happened use fresh potatoes morons wtf It doesn't take long to make fresh potatoes idiots read more

We had a great late breakfast at the American Grille in Ypsilanti. Great service, menu and prices. We will be back.

Our "go to" for breakfast. Classic American Breakfast menu is all prepped in exactly the style you would expect but done so well it seems special. Generous portions and good coffee with seemingly endless refills mean it takes awhile to eat. It's a clean place with what seems to be fixtures from long ago. Friendly wait staff completes a very pleasant Saturday morning. My personal favorite is the Hippie Hash which comes in variety of styles depending on your idea of fillings from veggies only to gut-busting meat lovers. They also feature a Friday All You Can Eat Fish and chips. Their chef is a master at the deep fryer- nicely golden and not greasy. The 'chips' are some of the best French fries in the city. AND it's "cheap eats". One of the best in it's style I give them 5 "diner stars" ! read more

I haven't tried a lot of different foods here but my go to is the turkey club which is great. You know how some people use crappy lunch meat? Well these guys don't. And the the chicken noodle soup is Soo good. Taste like grandma made it! read more

This restaurant is my favorite place. I love their food. Their home fries are out of this world! I had the hoagie for the very first time and it was excellent! They have delicious omelets also. The staff is very friendly. read more

Such a wonderful place to eat and relax at. Overall it was purely amazing with great food, service, and all around hospitality.

came here ordered a full breakfast spent a very decent amount of money got home was barely any food in my container and the food was very bland i never returned for food again food is ok here just really expensive and they give you very small portions in most food you will buy from here definitely not a place i would advise someone to go too if your trying to get full and your on a budget prices are way to high for the portions! On The Other Hand they do have a great tasting southwest omelette with gravy on it other then that this isnt really a place i would recommend to anyone at all on prices or portions. read more

Your standard diner food. Please note-this restaurant is not located in the safest area. We had eggs, an omelet, & the homefries. Nothing fancy bland eggs, the toast came with the liquid butter streaked on it-something I would have not preferred. The small oj is very overpriced. The homefries were good, just a small portion served---be prepared---they come with a ton of onion & peppers in them---not plain! I would have liked a drink refill but the server never visited us so that's that. For the price, it was okay. For the food, kinda the same-just okay. In the end--tried it, was okay, but won't get a return visit. read more

Food was awful tried to call and let them know that the food I ordered was terrible. Omar the manager was super rude acted like he didn't care told me there's nothing he can do and to call back at 1 pm when there is someone to help?? Idk why your a "Manager " if you can't do anything to help. Bottom line is don't work at a restaurant if you can't do your job!!! I'll be calling at 1 pm read more

Against my better judgement I let my grandmother talk me into going here for lunch. And since she had gotten out of the hospital just an hour or 2 before I figured she earned the right to choose a meal that would make her happy. The place was pretty much empty except for a fella sitting off in a corner by himself. It seemed like the place did a pretty brisk carry out business... anyway, there was chicken and dumplings written on the specials board, and since she had mentioned that specific meal before we even left her house, we knew what we were having. The meal came with a small salad or curiously a cup of soup . She had the soup put in a to go cup, she also ended up having half of her chicken and dumplings packaged as well. Not me, lol I gobbled mine up like I had never seen food before. It was very very tasty. What caused me to only give 3 stars was our waitress. She stood at our table while we were trying to eat, and just jabbered away about what a good boss she had and how much she loved her job, and then she started chatting about who knows what. Making things kind of awkward . Eventually she figured out that we didn't want to chit chat, that we were hungry. Other than that, the meal was great! read more

Omg. Don't even bother with hash browns. Do yourself a favor and get the homefries. Pancakes were great too. So glad Cracker Barrel was packed and Yelp exists and led us here. I would take a pic but it is all gone. Yum read more

I've been going to the American Grille for quite some time now. It's an awesome little diner. The staff is friendly and the food tastes great. Their breakfast specials are awesome. My partner and I can both order breakfast and a drink for around $10 (their breakfast specials end at 11:00AM). I usually order one of their burgers with felafel patties substituted instead of a beef patty. Their felafel patties are delicious. The atmosphere is nice. It's rather casual, lots of regulars, pretty much what you'd expect from a diner. I'd absolutely recommend checking them out if you're in the area! read more

The food exceeded my expectations. The hippy hash was amazing. Fresh, balanced. I had to force myself to stop eating it, I was so full! Fluffy pancakes, Friendly faces, adorable, clean diner. I grew up very close and had never been. It it my new weekend breakfast spot! read more

Had a strange layout...like it was 2 restaurants and one was under construction. Food was really good, seemed home made and made to order. Wish they were open later, seems like they close early most days, would go more often if they were open later. read more

I transferred to a new location for my job in February of this year, and eat at this place in a regular basis since it's right across the street....so regular that the waitresses recognize my voice when I call! So far everything I've tried has been great! Every waitress I've dealt with has been awesome and the owners are very nice!! I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice little diner! read more
