Third Street Deli (4/5) on Yelp Thanks to the previous review of this place in Yelp, we decided to get off I-75 at Pinconning Road rather than exist a couple miles later at US23 like we normally do. Good decision! We were…

Churchill Pointe Inn (2/5) on Yelp I’m not a huge fan of this place even though, in theory, it should be pretty cool. We went there for Sunday brunch a while back and it left me with an impression of eating in an old lady’s dining…

Waldenbooks (4/5) on Yelp Very small bookstore inside the Alpena mall. My first impression was that it would do well for any mainstream books, but upon looking for a bit, I was actually really surprised by the good variety…

John A Lau Saloon (3/5) on Yelp We went into John A Lau again this summer (2009) and were a little less impressed than last time. It doesn’t help that our eating habits changed between the last time and now, but the food didn’t…

Anchor Market (2/5) on Yelp Unfortunately, this is the only store and gas station on the east side of Hubbard Lake. Over the years, due to the hard hit economy around the lake, this place has hung on by it’s fingernails…it…

Antiques Mall of Alpena (3/5) on Yelp I’ve gone in here at least 20 times in the past 10 years…I swear they must never sell anything because it seems like they have exactly the same stuff every time. We’ve purchased some small items…

Anna's Taqueria (3/5) on Yelp Basically, it’s a Chipotle Grill knock-off inside the student center. Expect about the same menu and about the same prices. If you want a Chipotle-sized burrito, however, make sure you order the…

Legal Sea Foods (2/5) on Yelp I was here while at a conference at MIT. We stayed in a hotel across the street and this seemed like the only resturaunt (ie. not bar) in the area that might have a good sit-down meal. I was…

Lucky Strike Lanes (3/5) on Yelp Want to feel like you’re in your mid-20s again? This is an absolutely beautiful place to hang out for an evening. Past your 20’s? You can still enjoy yourself but expect to feel out of place. The…

Kendall Hotel (4/5) on Yelp This is my kind of place. Not corporate in the least, but more like staying at a bed and breakfast than a traditional hotel. The lobby struck me immediately upon walking in….mismatched and…

United Artists Haggerty Road Theatre (1/5) on Yelp Don’t subject yourself to this theater. Drive 10 extra minutes and go to the Livonia AMC 20 or Emagine instead. This is the theater closest to my house and started going here since the day it…

Red Robin of Novi (4/5) on Yelp Consistent is the perfect word. Always clean with good service and acceptable food. Good menu and a comfortable place to go back to when you want a fallback lunch or dinner. Probably exactly the…
