My mom lives in Almont and I recently stopped at Roots to get a quick carry out late lunch while on…read moremy way home from her house. I just got a side salad and was impressed by the quality - the lettuce was crisp and I loved the dressing. So when my husband and I were going to my mom's house to do some work while she was away, I did not hesitate to recommend Roots. I got a shrimp po'boy and he got a pulled pork sandwich. He felt the sandwich was a little dry, not much sauce but it had a lot of flavor (we got carry out so we couldn't really ask for sauce after the fact and it was the first time we had anything there other than that side salad). I did see other sandwiches saying the meat was smoked so maybe that was more like what the pork was vs a saucy pulled pork. We both really enjoyed the fries. My shrimp po'boy as very good - I am used to po'boy being on the spicy (Cajun) side and having to ask to have them reduce the heat level but this was not the least bit spicy at all as originally made. Everything about it was good and I would order it again! Btw - when I was picking up my side salad to go, I did see they have monthly specials. If I was not in a rush to get home, I would have ordered the smoked meatloaf. Hope to see that on the specials menu again.

What a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I love restaurants that open in older spaces like this. I…read morewould love to know what this space was originally used for, if I had to guess it was probably a general store at some point. The booths are nice and deep, with seating for at least eight people. My group of five was able to spread out and be comfortable. Our server was very kind, and was patient with my autistic son. The first course was the butternut squash soup. I've never had it prepared this way, I believe they mixed in some high-quality maple syrup as a sweetener, it worked beautifully and was delicious from first spoonful to last. I ordered the fancy burger for my entrée, and while I had to peel the tomato and lettuce off of it, the balance of the sandwich was perfect. Nice and juicy with crispy delicious bacon. My wife and son split an order of ribs and they looked delicious also. I found it wonderful that they had homemade ranch to accompany my tater tots, I'm such a kid lol. The setting is delightful, and the food is great. I would love to come back sometime!

Monday, 9/30/24…read more Review #498 "Where everybody knows, your name...And they're always glad you came!" This is another Local diner for Breakfast and Lunch in Almont called Maria's Place. My niece is a local in Almont and while visiting her for the day back in November 2023, she treated Me to a delicious and plentiful lunch here inside Maria's Place at 141 S. Main Street in downtown Almont. No street parking therefore park in back and use their convenient back door. The deco inside is old fashioned so check out the views all the way around. This restaurant is certainly a family place of traditional dining serving large portions too. The Menus are designed with Big Appetites in mind, so enjoy and clean your plate or take the rest home. The staff truly enjoy their jobs as they smile! Create Your Own Omelet with 3 eggs, 12" wrap sandwiches, appetizers, salads, grilled sandwiches, Homemade Soups and Chili, Breakfast Bowls, Big Burgers with .99 add on. Crazy Big Burgers come with fries. Kid's Menu has several options that My Great Nephew enjoyed too plus his chocolate milk. :-) And a coloring book with crayons to use. Check out Today's Special Board & Dessert Board too for an example from the photo I posted. Maria's Place serves Special Large Meals. So eat lunch as a dinner meal since their dining hours are 7 AM - 2 PM, Monday through Sunday. I enjoyed My visit with the local efficient and fast employees and the Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and a Chicken Salad Croissant that was loaded with fresh chunks of chicken meat. The place has a outstanding atmosphere, hard working staff with a passion, and delicious lunch. I still need to get back here and enjoy their famous and stuffed omelets! Smaczne I say and Local they are! Phone: (810) 798-3308 for carry out orders too. NO Reservations. This Business is listed on the DDA list - Downtown Development Authority. Sincerely, Karen N. SpecialK :-)

Great menu. Good food portions. Very friendly staff. Love this place. I couldn't recommend it more.read more

My daughter & I wanted to go here for Mother's Day weekend. We went on Saturday, day before…read moreMother's Day. First time going here, it had popped up in my FB feed & looked pretty cool so I wanted to check it out. Right downtown Almont. Parked in the street which was bad idea for that weekend-alot of traffic with events going on. At least there's a crosswalk though since we were parked on opposite side of street. So cool inside once we got in! Very festive! Loved it. We wanted a real Mexican restaurant to support and this seems to be it. I wish I knew the servers name, she was awesome. They have happy hour on Saturday-so thankful for that! Want them to know how much that was appreciated. We were able to order a dessert to split because that saved some $$. I don't know if any restaurant off hand that carries happy hour over into the weekend. Our server was able to help us decide on which Marquita specials to try-lots of flavors. I have to say I got a spicy Mexican one & it was my favorite! She asked if I wanted the rim done & I said yes. Holy moly! SPICY! They had some food specials also so my daughter ordered from that as she wasn't as hungry as I was. I think it was 3 pulled pork tacos(?) I got with the refried beans. It was pouring rain that day so we didn't get to sit on the patio...definitely will be going back here many times. Can't say anything bad about our experience!

We got carry out here and we're pretty much disappointed with everything…read more My husband ordered a Greek salad with grilled chicken and an order of breadsticks. The salad looked great! Chicken grilled nicely! BUT no salad dressing on it or in the carry-out bag. WTH! Greek salad dressing is not something we have on in fridge so he had to muddle through with whatever we had on hand. My mom ordered chicken picatta. Her chicken was probably over cooked as it was tough or maybe that was just the chicken breast. I don't recommend ordered this for carryout either, especially in colder weather as the sauce on it and the butter on the green beans congealed and looked rather disgusting. I ordered the chicken tender dinner. I was pleasantly surprised that the chicken tenders were homemade and not pulled out if the freezer and then cooked. Very seasoned - which I enjoyed but if you want a plan ol' chicken tender like most restaurants would have, you may not like these as there was a bit of what seemed like Italian seasoning in the batter. It came with a side salad and mashed potatoes. I did not eat either of those that night as I had eaten all five chicken tenders and a few breadsticks. The next evening I pulled the mashed potatoes out of the fridge and tasted them before I put them in the microwave to see if I wanted to add any seasoning. I honestly do not know if they were ok to eat or not. They had a strange taste to them - a slight tang that just didn't sight right on my palette, like an ingredient was sour that they used when making it. Finally, my side salad was a miss. The lettuce itself was fresh and it had about three slices of cucumber and two cherry tomatoes on it. That's it - quite simple salad. However, I wanted thousand island dressing either it and the small container of it had a 12/24 date written on the top. Did they make the dressing that day or put it in the containers that day??? Either way, that's a bad vibe given we placed our order on Jan 9th. I know the salad dressing, if bottled, would still be good, but seeing that date from over two weeks prior is off putting. Supposedly this place got a new chef recently. Maybe it's time to get another because based on what we experienced on Jan 9th, I won't be back. Sadly, we paid $72 for the lackluster food that we had.

You've made the ultimate come back! The new spinach and artichoke dip is now in my top 5 all time favorites! Highly recommend ordering breadsticks and using those as the vessel for the S&A dip. Also had a Philly cheese steak that was on special, and it was the best I've ever had with hand cut fries. Husband had a burger and it was cooked and seasoned to perfection as well. Staff were also great! Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. Probably one of the best meals we've had out to eat all year. I really hope they can hang on to build this place back up. So very worth giving them another try!
