Reviews for Peterlins in Farmington, MI
Great food, service, and atmosphere . Just a cozy, comfortable, neighborhood restaurant. Great place to go for a lazy lunch... or quick dinner. Interesting menu. Read more
Was out to lunch with my elderly in-laws (they're great folks.. no shade here..) and they have been here before, and were giving... praise. I had the portobello wrap without balsamic, and sweet potato fries. They had a chicken wrap and regular fries that theysplit. We all left stuffed, and unable to finish our fries. I loved the creamy sweet dip for the sweet potato fries! Negatives:very loud and echoey. It was hard to hear them. Service was a bit slow, but was lunch rush, and they had a sign out that saidthey were short staffed that day, asking for applications. It's not really their fault. We were sat by a door that had a sign onit to use the other door, but it wasn't locked, and people were using it anyway. The in-laws got really cold as a result. Read more
My wife and I were looking for a local place that we hadn't been to, and with a quick Google search, this place turned up. When... we pulled into the parking lot, I made a joke to her that this place looks like one of those bar/restaurants that are frequentlyfeatured on the show "Bar Rescue". I guess if you know, then you know, haha. Beyond that, this establishment is veryconveniently located and easy to find. I think in order to miss the giant sign they have on the side of the building, you'd haveto be driving with your eyes closed and I wouldn't recommend that anyone do that. If you're familiar with the area, then youalready know it's pretty busy, but because this establishment is located in a strip mall/shopping center area there will alwaysbe plenty of space and parking no matter how busy it gets. On that same note, I am not exactly sure how busy this place gets,because we ended up here on a Friday night (during peak dining hours) and we had zero issue and no wait getting a table. It kindof seems like most of the people that dine here are possibly regulars that come here quite often. The staff is made up of mostlyyounger folks which is fine, but they seemed to get flustered quite easily when it came to seating people, cleaning tables, andrepeating the process. If you've never been here, one of the first things you'll notice is that it's kind of strangely setup.The door that you enter into, goes into an area that doesn't look like it would be a restaurant. Call me crazy but it kind oflooks like a movie or TV set or something. Then if you travel through the hole in the wall to the other side, it looks likeyou're actually in a restaurant and there is a big old bar, and it just looks like a normal restaurant that you'd find anywhere.I'm not sure if that was the original space, and they knocked a hole in the wall and expanded to the area that we sat in orwhat. There is also a pretty sizeable outdoor patio seating area, but it's currently pretty chilly so Read more
The best. So flavorful. It was so cute they had a sign saying they were short staffed and then here come these kids 8 to 10... years old bringing out the dinners to the table. They were very well mannered and very serious about their work. Just adorableand they were really teaching those children more than just work. It was such a beautiful thing to see. Read more
Owner and team have carved out a gem for the local community. A great spot with friendly atmosphere and a solid, well executed... menu. The food is comforting and tasty with a great variety of options. A great place to have an evening with friends andfamily to melt away the stresses of today's crazy world. Read more
Peterlin?s restaurant is excellent on all levels. First of all, it is quite unique in both variety and in the large number of... food choices. There are many, many familiar favorites - from large salads to homemade meatloaf dinners, sandwiches, steaks, andseafood. Secondly, it is highly consistent. We visited two times in January 2022. The staff is polite and helpful, even withlimited personnel, and they seemed cheerful in demeanor. My order of the same meal was exactly as delicious each time. My newestdiscovery has become my favorite - the ?Portabella Wrapped Up.? Actually, it is the BEST WRAP (of any type) that I have EVER hadin my entire life! It is served hot and fresh, and seems to stay that way even though it includes some shredded lettuces!Homemade, AND a well-loved personal creation of the owner - this delightful wrap is stuffed with freshly chopped ?meaty?portabella mushrooms that have been sautéed with sliced red onion. A lovely aoli is poured over the mixture, which is tossedwith some crisp chopped lettuce. The dish is finished off with drizzles of a balsamic reduction. It is wonderfully warm andfilling?almost even too much to eat the second half (it?s that satisfying!) As you can see from my pictures, I couldn?t wait todig in?and took several bites even before the photos! This meal is served with a side, and I always choose one of their freshhot vegetables. If you look closely, you can find a pod stem or two on my crisply sautéed green beans. They are simplyheavenly! None of this surprises me, as this gracious owner has been a chef for 35 years. It is completely obvious that heloves culinary work and values every customer. He was visibly present at both our recent visits, although he can just as easilybe found creating dishes in the kitchen. The restaurant is consists of two large rooms, and is furnished with booths, assortedsize tables, and even several high tops in the bar area It is usually more quiet in one room verses the other, but th Read more
I have eaten here several times and I have never been disappointed. Casual dining is the norm here. A varied menu has been... created with fresh ingredients. No canned foods or soups here. You will enjoy many items or you will return for a favorite. Ijust posted a pic of the Cuban sandwich. Phenomenal. Not dry and very tasty. The chips are made on site from fresh potatoes. Can be somewhat loud during busy times but worth it. Read more
Love this place. I gave 4 stars on service, but to be honest, they are short staffed. Other than that its clean and has great... food. The cheesesteak spring rolls are easily my fav. Read more
