Servers are amazing! Sophie always takes care of us and is a delight to speak with. Came in with my girlfriend for their 32oz Root Beer Float. And it was delicious. Also had country fried chicken, tortilla soup, strawberry cream and a sausage egg sandwich. Everything was amazing and delicious! The diner has a wonderful cozy home feel to it. Meaning it looks like your typical diner. Love how it looks. Cannot wait to go again soon! read more

Great, fast, friendly service. Great team work by the servers. I ordered a double cheeseburger: Yes: Lettuce, onion, tomato & pickle Not: Ketchup, mustard or mayo Kitchen made it exactly bassackwards. I checked the order slip; it was entered correctly correct. Ordered to be cooked medium; served rare. Bun: Fresh, but barely toasted Veggies: Fresh, cool & crisp Beef? Not seared. Flavor A bit muted. I do not care for a lot of salt, but I added salt. I asked if perhaps my order was swapped with someone else's. Nope. All the kitchen screw-ups do not justify 3-Stars that Yelp considers Okay. Will I return? Perhaps. I am curious about their breakfast menu. read more

There isn't enough room to leave all of the positive aspects of the grand diner in. First and foremost, the service from our waitress and the support she had from the staff around her was astounding. It's been a long time since I've been to a place where the service was so exemplary that it makes you question where the service industry is headed outside of this establishment. The food was incredible quality ingredients extremely tasty. It's in an old school diner. You really can't beat the experience five out of five would highly highly recommend. read more

The Grand Diner - French fries and a coney - Burgers Near Me - Novi, Michigan

Fun diner! Their milkshakes are very thick (basically all ice cream), so the spoon is needed. I had the Oreo milkshakes and it had some delightful chunks of Oreo in it. The chili fries special with ground beef and onion was pretty filling- I took half home. They also have chocolate, strawberry and vanilla milkshakes as well. You probably only need the small size which is what I got. The power went out for about 30 minutes or so, so we had to wait to pay, but the server was so nice and kept us updated. read more

This diner is adorable. Family owned & operated, said the waitress. Food was excellent. At her recommendation, my husband and I ordered the corned beef: I got the Reuben and he got the Grand Corned Beef sandwich. Our 11yo son got the 1/4 lb burger with cheddar and pickles, cooked medium well. We all shared a side of curly fries. It was a good amount of food & we had a half a sandwich left over. My son was happy there was a pickle in every bite. read more

The Grand Diner - Outside of the retro diner. - Burgers Near Me - Novi, Michigan

Great service! A huge menu! And the two times I've ate there really good food. I enjoyed the gyro and Italian wedding soup.

Not far away from the store. Old school diner, cool and retro. Ordered carry out over the phone. Friendly and warm staff member took my order. I ordered a Turkey Rueben + onion rings, Grand diner Chicken pita (ranch side) + sweet potato fries, Greek salad + turkey burger with a fried over hard egg + curly fries. $58.83. Orders would take about 15 minutes to be ready. The styrofoam helps insulate the heat, however keep in mind all of your sandwiches, onion rings, fries, burger bun, pita and Rueben will be soggy after a carry out to your final location. The turkey burger, Greek salad, Turkey Rueben, sweet potato, curly fries tasted good. The onion ring batter is not my thing, panko and thick. Friendliest staff here, makes you feel most welcomed. read more

Great place for breakfast. We usually get one order of corned beef hash with eggs to share plus a separate order of eggs bc the serving of hash is more than enough for two people. Sometimes we take some home even after sharing. The corned beef is delicious. Sandwiches are delicious as is the hash. Service is prompt and efficient. read more

The breakfast here is phenomenal and delicious , huge portions on the omelettes and hash browns . Couldn't have asked for a better find who I stumbled onto this lil family owned place , waitstaff is friendly and quick , cooks did amazing job on the food give it a shot read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot. I've been coming here for years and all the servers know my family when we come in, and they are just the best. The servers are part of the reason we come back and they know we will every weekend. Your coffee cup will never get to half full with how often they come by and it's the best diner coffee around. Even tho they don't have many booths they are so quick with the food I don't think I've ever waited more than 10 minutes even on a weekend. My husband and I have tried a good bit of the menu and we have never had anything less than amazing. The grand diner chicken pita, country skillet, country fried steak breakfast, and steak hoagie are some of our favorites. read more

I love this place! The food was awesome and the service was really great too! The 50's diner theme is so cute. We ate here by the recommendation of a friend and it didn't disappoint! The only thing I would recommend is they freshen up the landscaping outside and especially near the sign to draw more attention...even just putting pretty flower pots on either side of their sign. I could see this place getting passed by or overlooked easily and people wouldn't realize what they're missing out on. But again I highly recommend this adorable restaurant! read more

This was my first time coming here. This diner is super cute and looks like an old school restaurant. The inside looks like a 50s Café if they have a jukebox in old school clocks, the milkshake we got was mostly ice cream so it wasn't our favorite. The cheese fries were absolutely amazingand so was the roast beef sandwich. We are looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other food that looks super delicious our waitress was very nice and helpful as well. read more

Super cute 50's themed diner in Novi, MI. No frills, you get seated & serviced immediately. Staff were nice and food came out quick. Ordered chili cheese fries with it on the side. Chili had good flavor, super liquidy. Nacho cheese was mild, not overwhelming and on the thin side. The fries were thick though. I'm not a fan of steak fries but it wasn't bad all together Ordered a alider and despite its small size, it had big flavor. Wished i went with a bigger burger. Prices were quite decent. read more

This was a great diner experience. It's an original diner, and looks exactly as you'd expect. Black and white floors, counter stools, James Dean and Marilyn on walls and counters. I ordered corned beef hash and my friend had a vegetable omelette. Everything was excellent, cooked perfectly, and delicious. The coffee wasn't very hot, but it was an excellent breakfast and we'd go back in a heartbeat, if in the area. read more

The Grand Diner - Counter service, 50s style! - Burgers Near Me - Novi, Michigan

Very nice place, good food and cute decor. I ordered an omelette that contained Ham and asked if I could substitute Turkey for the Ham. I was charged $2.00. I get being charged extra for additional items, but really? Ham and turkey are both the same price on the menu for additions....couldn't this have been an even swap? That's just nickel and diming the customer! read more

I was in town on business and this place was near the venue for work. The food was amazing and the service was beyond great. You're greeted as soon as you walk in the door. It resembles an old school diner. Super cute place! Ambiance is so good! 10/10 would recommend for breakfast anytime! read more

I've been here a few times and it's a fun place to eat. Old school feel. The food is always good, and you get large portions. The service is always fast, and the waitresses seem to enjoy working there which is always a plus. In Novi you have many choices on where to eat, and this one is a plus. Give it a try. I think you will be happy you did! read more

Very nice 50's style retro diner with good food at a very reasonable cost. We ended up at this business for a breakfast get together based on the positive YELP reviews and were not disappointed. The Menu offers a pretty wide variety of choices to include Eggs Benedict, skillets, omelets, eggs to order, pancakes, waffles and the list goes on and on. Our food for our first meal here was well Cooked with good taste and fairly large portion size. The other key item to note relative to the menu are their weekday breakfast specials which are extremely reasonable in my opinion, especially when compared to other breakfast joints in the area and their post Covid inflated prices. As an example, the two egg Grand Diner special with potatoes, choice of meat and toast was only $6.99. What a DEAL! Food aside, the service was friendly and prompt with excellent follow-up throughout the meal. Along these lines, the staff continuously refills your coffee cup throughout the meal without prompting which is a pet peeve of mine and something that all good restaurants should do but many fail at in this area. Relative to ambiance, I love the 50's Diners theme from their period correct table seating, counter seating, Old style Jukebox, and decor that added an element of fun to the dining experience where I halfway expected the Fonz to be walking through the door at any time! Ehhhhh! Overall, I was quite impressed with the business where I viewed the food as four stars in my mind but the value equation on their prices pushes this business into 5 star territory for me. If you are in the area looking for good food at a reasonable cost than Grand Diner is right up your alley and not to be missed. read more

Great value and the servers there are very nice. Some items were a little underseasoned but otherwise they do a fine job.

I really love the look of this restaurant/diner. The building is right off the main road with a large parking lot. No steps to access the front door and the minute you arrive there is an excellent 1950-1960 music theme decor. Even a jukebox! When we arrived today seating was limited and the section on the right was closed. The remaining section was packed with the booth In the corner by the window on its side. The air conditioner or vent in the ceiling above our table was being held up with duct tape and if we did sit at the bar the dishes were over flowing in the sinks. Nothing you really want to look at when you are eating. My father and I both had a chocolate shake. It's made with vanilla soft serve ice cream not hard ice cream so it was very soupy not thick. The wait staff was friendly and kind. Moving about the space helping where they could when they could. We decided not to dine eat so we ordered our meal to go (lamb gyro). Wasn't really feeling the vibe on this trip. Needs a good spring cleaning and attention to some aesthetics to the building. read more

Love this place! The food tastes homemade. Ordered their slim jim which has real ham sliced off the bone, (not lunchmeat), crispy lettuce, melted Swiss cheese, fresh tomatoes and mayonnaise on a delicious hogie type bun. The sandwich is large enough to take 1/2 home and it's just as good cold and right out of your fridge as it is when first ordered. I asked for "crispy" onion rings...they were crisped just right not greasy and the batter tasted homemade. They were unlike the out of freezer greasy fried in stale oil ones you usually get most other places. My friends ordered their burgers and raved about them. Their shakes are the best. The servers are very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely go back to try more items on their menu! read more

We were greeted with smiling faces and the smell of delicious breakfast foods. The restaurant is just like an old school diner. They have a jukebox, bar stool seating, and old style booths. Our server was attentive and very informative of the menu. We ordered the Rueben (highly recommended), eggs, blueberry pancakes with banana, biscuits and gravy, country benny, bacon, and American fries (basically hashbrowns). All the food was hot and super flavorful. We also got an Oreo milkshake. They offered a ton of flavors. We will return! read more

Oh this is my new fave breakfast spot!!! Beyond the obvious cute vibe of the 50s jukebox vibe, the people here are fabulous and the food is even better. Order the breakfast burrito that comes smothered in amazing gravy and order a biscuit on the side too- it just feels right to add even more deli carbs to this dish! (You're either taking home half or sharing this- I brought it home to my husband and he ate off it all day!) Stuffed French toast!!! Just look at the pic- OMG! And if you're an omelette fan, look at the size of the veggie omelette I'm posting- Everything's terrific here! read more

This is a favorite near my house - my husband and I like the cool, diner interior complete with atomic formica tabletops. The food is standard diner fare, with very large portions and a large variety of items to choose from. Breakfast is served all day - a huge bonus in my opinion! I've taken friends who are doing WW and those who are restricting several types of food here and they had no problem finding items they could eat. Portions are large - I usually have leftovers. The service is fast and friendly. read more

Delicious food with many choices on the menu. Friendly and attentive staff. Very clean restaurant.

While I have driven by this place a thousand times, its only when something came across my feed about "50's Diner with the best burgers in Michigan" that I decided to stop in. I will say the staff are very friendly and engaged and certainly look after you. One of my favorite dishes - and one not commonly serves is goulash - and they had it as the special. So, I asked about it and of course, my waitress raved it up - which is her job. With solid confidence, it was the worse meal I can recall ever having at a restaurant and certainly by far the worst goulash. I am not convinced it met the requirements of goulash. What I got was tasteless tomato sauce with ground beef/hamburger. There seemed to be some evidence of chopped green pepper in there. Oddly, on one side of the bowl was a small amount of chopped white cheese - not melted or baked in, just tossed in. And 3 of the waitresses and the owner all asked if I wanted parmesan cheese. Why? It's not spaghetti? To makes the meal that much worse, the dish ranged from tepid to cold depending on where I dug in the spoon. My assumption was either the noodles were cold and warm goulash poured over - or - the opposite, hot noodles and they poured cold goulash on top. Now, if the issue was only the temperature, I would have asked to warm it up - but, why bother. Very friendly and attentive wait staff. Decent coffee that was filled many times. The coleslaw was good. The overall prices seemed reasonable. I guess if I go back, I'll try a burger. read more

Our visit to The Grand Diner was enjoyable from start to finish. The place was hoping with guests when we arrived, but despite being do busy, the staff was courteous, friendly, and eager to serve us. The diner itself is charming, and the jukebox takes you back in time. Since it was a gorgeous day, we choose to sit outside. My husband and I both ordered one of the daily specials: me, the Strawberry Cheesecake Waffle, and him, the Country Fried Steak and Eggs. I also ordered a half order of Biscuits and Gravy since this was going to be our only meal of the day. Yum, yum, yum! Everything was mouthwatering and delicious. The presentation was excellent too. In fact, my waffle was almost too pretty to eat. Almost. The biscuits and gravy were terrific, the best I've ever had! My only regret is that we are not locals, and therefore, I don't know when we'll get back here. But I can guarantee that we will be back someday. In the meantime, I highly recommend that you stop in sometime. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast or lunch, you're sure to enjoy your meal. Bon Appétit! read more
