You'll spot Steady Eddy's from the parking lot by the big lemonade sign. This is no ordinary lemonade stand. It's gourmet through and through. It's all fresh and vibrant, tangy sweet. Amy and I ordered full sandwiches and swapped halves. It was a brilliant idea! The fresh crispy vegan club complimented the Reuben beautifully. Amy ordered brussel sprouts and I ate a bunch. I ordered fries and ate them all. Those brussel sprouts though- with the char and balsamic. Oh that was decadent. It had little shavings of vegan parmasean. So amazing. I have to talk about Nikki. She was our superstar server that made sure we were getting all the good stuff. It was really neat the way staff just covered each other tables to make sure everyone got such excellent service. They were a well oiled machine. Amy hasn't been here in 20 years, and well chosen, Amy! This cute little veggie joint is gold. Amy said they serve meat too. I didn't care. What we had was perfect. Steady Eddy's - I think I'm in love!

I am always paying way too much for lemonade, and this lemonade is also way to expensive, but we…read morelove expensive lemonade and always buy it because it is delicious. This place has delicious lemonade! I loved their cute little glass barrel decanters of flavors. You can get the flavors in the decanter, or you can spruce it up with other flavors and fresh fruit. (although the fruit was about $3 extra). They also put the adorable flower in the cup and fun colorful straws. The kids each got a different flavor, both very tasty and fresh. We are big into lemonades in this household. The people working here were nice and let us try the flavor first. We were just here to walk around the then get a drink to go, but looking at the menu I would love to come back and try their sandwiches. I love a good club, and theirs looks amazing. I always wanted to eat around the farmer's market, but we are slow to do so, so I would love to come back and do a sit down here in the future. It was adorable and seemed to busy which is a good sign.

The cafe seems far more invested in cultivating an aesthetic than delivering quality food or…read morehospitality. Service feels slow and strangely disengaged, as though customers are interrupting the ambiance simply by ordering. What should feel warm and welcoming instead comes across as performative and inattentive. The food is especially disappointing considering the prices. The sandwiches are remarkably small and underfilled, leaving you wondering whether you accidentally ordered a half portion. The salads are even worse, which is essentially a pile of arugula. For a downtown business surrounded by residents and neighboring businesses, the lack of inclusion for the community and the repeated disregard for basic city noise expectations is difficult to ignore. Ultimately, Flint has several coffee shops that provide better food, better service, and a far more genuine sense of love for the community here.

If you're craving real, old-school comfort food, Grandma's Recipes absolutely delivers…read more We both ordered the fried chicken, which takes about 25-30 minutes because it's made fresh and it shows. The batter is thin, crispy, and not overly heavy, and the flavor feels like something straight out of a home kitchen. This isn't fast-food fried chicken... this is Sunday dinner at grandma's. The meal itself is a lot of food for around $17: four pieces of chicken, real mashed potatoes with homemade gravy, a vegetable, a potato, plus a salad and a cup of homemade chicken noodle soup with those old-school egg noodles. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, not processed or rushed. We also tried the fried mushrooms everyone talks about, and they lived up to the hype. They use large portobello mushrooms, which makes a huge difference. No watery, soggy bite like you get at a lot of places, just a clean, meaty texture with a crispy coating. The atmosphere is calm and cozy. Lighting is dim enough to feel relaxed, and with only about 20 tables, it's not loud or chaotic. No kids running wild or constant traffic in and out, just a laid-back, "take your time" kind of vibe. The space has a log cabin feel with exposed wood, vintage décor, and black-and-white photos. The tables and chairs aren't fancy, but they're clean and fit the nostalgic charm. Service was great during our visit. Our waitress was attentive, checked on us regularly, took our order quickly, and everything came out hot. I've seen mixed reviews about inconsistent service, but our experience (first visit) was very positive. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a win. Between the generous portions, fair pricing, and genuinely homemade feel, this is the kind of place you come back to. They also offer daily specials and make many of their own desserts. I'll definitely be back to try the coconut cream pie. Overall: Comfort food done right, with a cozy, no-frills atmosphere and excellent value.

The gravy smothered over the sandwich and mashed potatoes adds even more flavor. I ordered a side of green beans with the meal, and they tasted good - not canned. The turkey club was ordered without tomato and came out as ordered - it was huge and also had the smoked turkey on it. So good! Coleslaw tasted good as did the cheese sticks. Our server was attentive and kept checking on us. She kept the drinks coming - even after we paid our bill. Love that they check on you, even after you have paid. The inside is still outdated and the seats are not the most comfortable, but that's fine. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. I need to come back here again real soon!

This evening I ordered the following from DoorDash:…read more * Pasta Verdura (x1) * Side Caesar (x2) I very clearly stated to NOT place my cold salads on top of hot pasta in the bag. I have to state this because they always do this. When my order was delivered I received the Verdura and one House Salad, not my two Caesar Salads. In addition, the House Salad was on top of the hot pasta and was therefore hot as well. Furthermore, the pasta was swimming in sauce. I called the restaurant and spoke with a gentleman. I believe his name was James. I explained the errors to him. He did not apologize at all. In fact, he told me that I either did not enter the note appropriately, or it did not come through on their end. He said that he bagged up my order. He also said nothing about the salad screwups. I told him that putting cold salads on top of hot pasta is their common practice with my orders, he said nothing. I told him that I was bringing this to his attention so that they could improve this practice. Once again, no response. I said to him that not putting cold salads on top of hot pasta should be common sense. He replied with, "I'm not going to have this discussion with you. You can take it up with DoorDash. Well, I am going to take it up with DoorDash and Sauce just lost a frequent and loyal customer. If he bagged up my order he obviously did not check to ensure the order was accurate. His attitude sucked: no apology and blaming the customer. Disgraceful! P.S. No salad dressing with the House Salad.

There is plenty of seating, and they open up outdoor seating when warmer weather comes. Despite how busy it gets, you will find seating opens up pretty fast. The staff are kind, quick, and knowledgeable, and prices are reasonable for the caliber of quality you get with every menu option. They also have a seasonal menu that is worth keeping an eye on as it cycles throughout the year. Every dish I've ever had from here has been a feast for all my senses. I recently got the Michigan Smoke and substituted their roasted garlic cream sauce for the BBQ sauce- it was seriously delightful!!!! I usually get their egg crepe and they also have seasonal drinks.

If there's one thing this city has in spades, it's decent places to grab a coffee. The Palette Cafe…read moreis no exception. Tucked away inside a corner near the front of the FIA, the Palette Cafe has all the makings of an all-around quality coffee spot, featuring a small, but well-rounded brunch menu, solid coffee drinks, free WI-FI, a comfortable atmosphere, and even adult beverages to boot (they serve wine). Years ago, this was a standard-issue, Starbucks-licensed coffee kiosk with some seating, designed to keep patrons of the FIint Institute of Arts happy if they wanted a coffee or a cookie in between checking out art installations. That has changed. Eventually, it came into its own and became the Palette Cafe (the name is obviously a wink to its location within the FIA, wink wink), a full-service coffee shop with a host of food, coffee drinks and more with expanded hours, its own WI-FI connection, events held on-site, and more. Today, it holds its own in a city dripping with places to get a cup of coffee. They serve coffee from the Mighty Good Coffee Company out of Ann Arbor and true to its name, it is mighty good (long gone are the days of serving Starbucks). The Cafe Americano is my go-to drink, smooth and bold at the same time with no acidic aftertaste. Weak, it is not, but it isn't overtly strong and bitter, either. It's just right. Now, that's a good cup of coffee. As for the food, there are a couple of clear winners on their brunch/lunch menu. The caprese flatbread is my favorite on their new "sandwich board" menu. It isn't slapped together in a rush or made with less than fresh ingredients. It was better than I expected it to be. The flavor, texture and presentation were all there. I had no complaints. I'd say it was at least comparable, and in some cases, much better than the caprese flatbreads that I've had elsewhere. They have a quality Mediterranean Veggie sandwich, too, piled high with appropriate fresh vegetables on artisanal bread, an optimal choice for a vegetarian like myself. My husband had a Tuscan Chicken sandwich once and gave it the thumbs up. My husband and I split the hummus appetizer, which was a decent size for two people. I liked the texture and taste of the hummus, creamy without being oily. Oily hummus is a no no, so naturally, I was relieved that it wasn't a disappointment. It was actually quite good and made for a great shareable appetizer. I would order it again. The soup of the day is always made fresh in-house daily, so remember to check that out. The soups rotate frequently, which means what you had last weekend might not be back on the menu for awhile, but it's best to check back regularly for updates. They have a nice variety of fresh baked treats to satisfy a sweet tooth, but my favorite are the sugar cookies, so soft and moist. I'm sad to admit this, but they are far and away superior to any sugar cookies that I've personally ever baked at home. I know, I should be embarrassed about acknowledging that, but who cares? Oh, and I did mention they serve wine, right? Yes, they do! There's nothing wrong with that in my book. Their WI-FI connection is decent, but it largely depends on just exactly where you're seated. Some tables get a better connection than others, so if your connection seems weak, just switch to the gallery's WI-FI and it will probably be fine. I've had to do that a couple of times and it's usually no problem, although I can see where it could be pretty frustrating. They're often open late, usually in tandem with ongoing events at the FIA. They have a "palette punch card" which entitles the bearer to a free beverage after ten purchases and FIA members always get 10% off their bill (20% on certain FIA member appreciation days).
