Holidays restaurant is one of Ann Arbors comfort food establishments. The owner is always there to great his regulars and others. Since the mid nineties, they have been making it better every year. Many of their staff have been with them since the begining. Now you can enjoy a beer, wine or a drink. Go see for your self, i suggest the burgers, they are awesome. read more

Secret service?! more like SUPER service!! Food was delicious. Had the West Coast Benedict - it was a new twist on an old classic that brought me right back home to the avocado farm in Gualala, CA. Our waitress was so so nice!! It was her birthday (which should be declared a public holiday) and she still showed up to work and did an incredible job!!! See ya next time we're in Ann Arbor- for now back to the Gual!!! read more

Holiday's Restaurant - me after eating Holiday's - American Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

We go here fairly regularly for breakfast and it's always a great meal. I like to get the southwest breakfast wrap -- it's so filling and delicious! You can get breakfast anytime, but they also have a great lunch and dinner menu too with lots of healthy options. They have a really nice patio, a beautiful herb and vegetable garden, and sometimes have live music. There is rarely a wait. Very family friendly. Truly a gem. read more

Met up with a larger group and they were able to accommodate us fairly quickly. I got the Southwest Burger which comes with fries...wow both the burger and fries were amazing!!! The fries are crispy and have so much flavor! Our service was very attentive and friendly, the prices aren't bad and I loved the Coney Island feel!! read more

Everyone at Holiday's was at least 20 years older than me, but that's okay. I was seated really quickly, and the food was delicious. I got corned beef hash, over medium eggs, and hash browns (yes, for some reason I could get even more potatoes with my corned beef hash), and they were all terrific. I love it when corned beef hash and hash browns have that perfect, slightly browned crispiness on the outside, and that's exactly what I got at Holiday's. I would definitely go back. read more

Great service, depressingly bland food, some televisions. We went on the weekend, late afternoon, seating was about 10% full, so good, quick service was not a stellar achievement. The bland decor gave me pause which I should have heeded before entering. There are a few common things I order to "benchmark" a restaurant: one is fajitas, but I've never had to add salt and pepper to give fajitas enough flavor to be interesting enough to call food. My companion had something with meat and cheese, what exactly I cannot recall, which she found to be similarly bland. Sorry, Holiday's, you seem like nice people. read more

A lot to like about Holiday's. I actually think the food is average, but the staff, ambiance, and location for us make it really good.

I love Holiday's. My parents go there almost every Sunday for breakfast, and the waitstaff is fantastic. It's just basic breakfast diner food, but really hits the spot and there's good parking, rarely a huge wait like other breakfast places in town. I've never been there for dinner, though! I recommend the pancakes with fresh strawberries...and they have grits! Yumm. read more

Excellent service and the food is always good. I am especially a fan of the chef salad and the pot roast entree. Good place for breakfast as well. Prices are reasonable. read more

Tried to stop by tonight. Open sign was on. Open sign said open until 10:00, but door said 9:00 (time was about 9:15). Exterior lights on. Door unlocked. People inside. But when we walked in, we were greeted with "Unfortunately..." I don't know how it's possible to screw up "closing restaurant at night" so thoroughly, but apparently it is. When we pointed out that the open sign was on and said 10, we were told it was "an old sign." Apparently that meant it could only be turned off in the presence of people standing there trying to be seated, as they managed to turn it off at that point (and it's the kind of sign that you can see is easily changed, so no excuse for it being wrong, let alone both wrong and lit up well after close). Employee who looked about fifteen years old acted like we were idiots for taking them at their word, showing no indication that he understood it's typical to turn open signs off when you close. The food is okay at best, definitely nowhere near so good that it's worth this kind of screwing around. We're never going back. read more

This is the kind of place that John Boy would like: a family atmosphere and not the dysfunctional kind. I've been twice -- once shortly before they closed one night and once during lunch hour on Sunday. The first time we had practically no wait for our food (there were only two other tables occupied.) Service was terrific and they told us to take our time. The second time we waited around 30 minutes for eggs and pancakes. Our server was nice but preoccupied. So if there's a crowd be prepared for a leisurely meal, like in Europe. The salads and breakfast items are good: fresh vegetables, eggs that are cooked to perfection, huge pancakes, and proper sausage. The biscuits were a bit dry but the coffee covered that sin. The people are so nice here that it's a good place to take family and friends and catch up on each other. read more

This place caters to the octogenarian set and the food is just so-so. Prices are too high for what they serve as well. I have been there three times and that was enough for me. read more

I really like this place, I have been here before but forgot to check in...ooops. The food is good and the staff is nice. There is a comfortable and homey feel in this place. It's great for a large or small group. I like to stop after church for a bite to eat (((: read more

My department on the University of Michigan Campus just had an all-school picnic welcoming the incoming students. Holidays catered the event and it was great!! The food was tasty especially the black bean burgers (vegan option). We had over 400 incoming students and 100 faculty and staff. I want recommend them for all of the event planners on the campus. The School's welcome planning committee was worried about getting 500 people served in a timely manner and ready for their next event. Rob the owner was willing to go over with our facilities the logistics and he brought samples of the food so that we could taste what was being served. I've had compliments from students, faculty and staff on how smooth everything went. We are very pleased with the food and the service. Rosalind read more

I dined at Holiday's on a quick day-trip to MI, and I think their overall Yelp rating is low, based on my personal experience. My salad and entree were quite tasty, and my dessert was awesome. But what I was most impressed by was their service. When I mentioned that I was on a quick day-trip from Chicago, the staff seemed genuinely interested in making sure that I would get home safely, on a bitterly cold night. Unlike many of Holiday's "chain" competitors, I didn't feel rushed to get in and out of the restaurant- they actually let me enjoy my meal. Overall, a very nice experience, and I would dine there again the next time I'm in Ann Arbor. read more

Over the weekend was our first time in. They didn't keep us waiting and it was a Saturday morning at breakfast!! I had the Banana Walnut Belgium Waffle, loaded with nuts then topped with fresh bananas and whip cream. The fiancee decided on the Greek omelet which looked very good as well. She claimed it was the best she'd ever had!! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

I'm satisfied every time I eat at Holiday's. There is enough space to where I never have to wait for a table and the waitstaff is always nice and friendly. Notice how I haven't even mentioned the food yet, which is tasty and inexpensive. Definitely give the Greek Omelette a try read more

Don't sit too close to the kitchen. They slam dishes really bad and cart them around to bus tables!

Had the misfortune of going here for breakfast recently. It was on a Sunday morning and was early enough that they were not busy (atleast half a dozen empty tables). They are quite understaffed. My wife and I stood around for close to 10 minutes at the entry way until someone noticed us. When they did, they come up to us and (no greeting) just asked 'Two'? Pathetic and unfriendly. Took another 5 minutes for us to get a Menu. A complete newbie Trainie offered us some coffee and orange juice for which we were grateful. Service was slow. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito which came with 2 tea spoons of Salsa. I wanted to get more, but I knew that I would be finished with the Burrito before they even get to it. Gave them a Groupon, but the guy at the Cash Register ended up charging us full price anyway. Then we had to do an ammend. Lousy, lousy, lousy restaurant. When we walked out, there was about a dozen people waiting to be seated. I felt profoundly sorry for them. read more

This is not Ann Arbor's fanciest dining but it is certainly the finest. The food is delicious. Try the home fries crispy, the BLT, sweet potato fries or the Greek omelette. They have homemade cream pies, rice pudding and corned beef hash. They have gardens around the building where you can see your veggies being grown in season. The atmosphere is great. This last summer they added the patio, alcohol and even live music. But the best part of all is the staff who get to know you by name, take great care of you and work hard. I could go on and on but I want this to be read so I'll keep it short! read more

Had a great Eggs Benedict here. Typical family restaurant with lots of options and good service.

The food is great, keep parts of it are even homemade. They have a full bar and a new fantastic outdoor patio!

Had a delicious chicken salad yesterday at lunch during a hectic work day. Almost too beautiful to eat. This is a great little place to eat. read more

Holiday's Restaurant - American Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Had a burger today and it was very mediocre. Similar restaurants in the West side part of AA have better burgers at same or lower prices. Marked avoid on my notepad. read more

We finally made it into this restaurant, and it's becoming a go to place for us. We've only been here twice but the food has been great both times. Wait staff is friendly and helpful. Food is served quick and hot. They do have a salad bar. Nice selection of different types of food. A favorite is the Spinach Pie which locals seem to like a lot (it was very good!). Recently had ribs, which were juicy and flavorful. We will be going back. Ohhh they also have a car show every Wednesday night from 5pm to 8pm. read more

Where o' where is the food & service that go along with the better reviews? Not on our visit. As others had mentioned, the service is not welcoming. We were shoved in a corner booth with the next table close to ours-very uncomfortable. And it just felt unclean. The table was sticky & our table was wobbly. We saw our server, then waited another 10 minutes for her to return to take our drink/food order. Never once got drink refills & even though we pre-bussed our dishes to the end of the very small table for our party, they just sat there. But again, we had to ask for everything, the very few times we saw our waitress--more napkins, where was the toast that came with the eggs, & when is the rest of our order arriving? Our meals all came out uneven times---??? And it was not all hot. ???? The kids meals were wasteful-the one piece of very small amount of fish was soggy & maybe 10 fries on the plate. The cheese sticks were terrible-clearly some gordons frozen brand & very pricey. Some in our party had an okay meal---the omelette was liked by a couple, the pancakes were okay but burned, the cinnamon toast was good, but beyond that, I wouldn't order a thing we tried the first time again. Our waitress never asked how our food was or if we needed boxes-we flagged down another server for those. The waitress showed up for the check & waited-that was a first for her to show up & wait. What a huge disappointment. The reason for the 2 stars is just the fact a couple people in our party said their food was okay-enough to return, nope. The service alone is the main reason we won't return. Drat. read more

Sub par performance. The waitstaff was nice and great to work with, but the food was barely warm yet alone hot. Waitstaff 5 stars. Food 1 star. read more

Most recent visit to Holiday's made me wonder if manager and staff thought they were doing us a favor by allowing us to spend money in their restaurant? I don't feel great about writing this review, but this restaurant needs to be held accountable for the poor service. I've been a customer here for several years, but this past weekend may have been the last time. It was an insulting experience. First, we walked in and the manager didn't even look away from the waitress he was talking to; we had to stand there and listen to them talking about someone's report card. The manger stuck us in a back corner, where we were basically ignored. Food came out cold. Waited 20 minutes for a coffee refill. Manager walked around restaurant talking to tables, completely ignored us. It was surreal. The waitress had no interest in us at all until she was waiting for her tip. This may be the last time I ever go to Holiday's. Rude manager, could care less about customers he doesn't know personally. Waitress was barely adequate. So disappointed. read more

There is a reason my family only ever goes there when we want to go out for breakfast. The omelettes are to die for and the service is fast. Breakfast is served all day though their lunch and dinner is just as delicious. The prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly. There is no reason I would ever go anywhere else. read more

After a long day we wanted a treat out for our fam! Daughter got the chicken caesar pita w/ coleslaw. Hubby and I both ordered Greek omelets with the best home fries. I subbed spinach for the gyro meat in mine. Our waitress was outstanding and attentive. Love that they have added a little privacy in the center booths so that we could just enjoy the evening together as a family. Solid service - family friendly prices and lovely service! And best thing is they are right around the corner! read more

When I feel like going into "retired old man" mode, and getting breakfast with some coffee before work, I find myself going to Holiday's. I'm not sure what makes me so high on Holiday's, but to me, eating there is like a Holiday in my mouth. I was first introduced to the breakfast scene at Benny's, which was supposed to be the Mecca of breakfast places in Ann Arbor, but I wasn't impressed with the long lines and the seemingly average to below average portions. I felt as though my endeavor to find great breakfast food in AA would diminish, because surely if I couldn't be pleased by one of the best breakfast landmarks in AA I would never be satisfied; that was until I found a little gem called Holiday's. I have never eaten anything except for breakfast there, but why would you, their breakfast is delicious. They're portions are great, and they are reasonably priced. There is always enough people there to let you know that you're at the right spot, but you don't have to snake your way through a line of hungover 20-something year olds (which often is myself) to just put your name in. Show me a better breakfast place and I will give you a gentlemanly handshake or a proper kiss on the hand. PS I wish I could give it a 4.5 read more

We tried Holiday's after purchasing one of the many online coupons. The food was we'll prepared and fresh. I made a comment to our table that the salad was mixed greens and fresh. This not a fancy restaurant, similar to Big Boy but local owned. The service was fine, unlike other reviewers we didn't have any issues. The prices are reasonable, I will probably try going back again. read more

A nice, unpretentious place with good breakfast and diner food. Nothing fancy about the decor or the menu. Just good food at reasonable prices. The kind of place you can go for a dependable, neighborhood-like meal, over and over. They cook their turkey and roast beef on the premises - none of that pre-cooked or processed stuff. And, when they say something comes with fruit, it means real fruit, not three slices of canned peaches like the place up the street. It's a gem. read more

Yuck. I went here for breakfast today which was a terrible mistake. I haven't been there in 5-10 years, and heard they remodeled so I thought I'd give it a try. Don't get me wrong. I am NOT a food snob. I eat at the Fleetwood regularly, and they aren't really the best place around. But compare Holidays to the Fleetwood, and the Fleetwood seems Chop House good. First of all, the service was terrible. Our waitress, who had 3 tables, only came to our table twice-- once to take the order and once to give us our food. We had empty cups of coffee for over half the meal. I had to actually call her from two tables over to ask for more. She was extremely rude and unfriendly. I'm a waitress too, and there is no reason to act that way. Secondly, the food was terrible. It's not easy to screw up an omelette but they did a fine job with mine. The inside was completely watery, the cheese was clumped together in two inedible bunches, and the home fries were burnt to a crisp. Could not force down more than half my meal. I wish I was kidding. I will never give Holidays my business again. read more

our family visited this place and we got seated right away, it didn't seem busy at all but the waitress kept disappearing. Waitress insisted we get fries or soup with our sandwich as its customer appreciation week and its free, and so we did. However, the manager at checkout charged us for both the fries and the soup. There were signs everywhere saying customer appreciation week, he also didn't bother to give us our receipt. My advice, if you ever visit ASK to see your bill before you pay! so where is the appreciation? we didn't bother to ask and neither would we return for slow service and mediocre food! not worth it! read more

I've lived in Ann Arbor for 13 years, have hit almost every restaurant from fine dining to diners and this one still is one of the top of my list for best. I've been in the restaurant business for a long time so I know what I'm looking for and this place nails it every time. Most people would think that it's just a breakfast joint but I actually have had ribs, pulled pork, homestyle turkey and many other items other then their amazing breakfast. Everything seriously taste exactly like how I would cook it at home. It's one of those family restaurants where everyone knows your name, they come in everyday and they just work really hard to create this gem of a restaurant. It's how a family restaurant should be... They try new things, create special dishes and are ever evolving to try and create a better dining experience. It's great to have watched them grow over the years, now they remodeled and added an area for drinks (all great Michigan beers, how it should be). I just really wanted to give these hard working people a shout out and say thanks for all the amazing food! I'll continue to come here whenever I feel like having great homemade food without having to do a bunch of dishes lol thanks again! read more

This restaurant doesn't get much attention, but it deserves some. Along the retail strip of West Stadium, it's convenient with plenty of parking and a great staff. I usually order breakfast. The reasonably priced omelets are chock full of filings and accompanied by from-scratch potatoes and toast. Gluten-free toast is available at no extra charge. Orange juice is fresh-squeezed. I've had lunch salads here too and dinner entrees, and I've never been disappointed. read more

Perfect brunch place. Cheery ambience. Great for families & groups. Excellent diner-style food & service.

food is sub-par the usual diner. went a few years ago and wasn't impressed. willing to try again with the $20 worth of food for $10 coupon. it really didn't help. waitress was good but the kitchen took half an hour to get out two breakfasts with less than 1/3 of the tables full. the best i can say is the fruit cup was fresh, omelets not seasoned, and could not get the right amount of salt/pepper to give them flavor. the ingredients were so chopped together i hate to say what it resembled; never did find the cheese i paid extra for in the middle. wheat toast looked like it would be bakery quality till one bite said grocery store quality. tasteless! i was really hoping for better after the recent reviews. my recommendation is don't stop here, read more

Their turkey dinner was good although the stuffing was too mushy. My husband got the ribs because the waitress said they were great and they were AWFUL. They came out BLACK and totally dried out. I asked the waitress why they were so black and she said you had to ask if you wanted them different??? I told her they were inedible! They were supposed to be baby back too but the bones were HUGE. Not a good experience, won't go back read more
