Japanese

Tokyo Grill & Sushi

★ 4.6(1,099)· $$

The hibachi gets name-checked repeatedly, and the shrimp and vegetables come out fresh even in the dead of winter. Sushi rolls cover a wide range, from beginner-friendly options to more creative preparations, and reviewers consistently call the fish fresh. Strip-mall location on Breton with plenty of parking.

Pizza

Peppino's Sports Grille & Pizzeria

★ 4.4(2,053)· $$

The sweet-sauced pizza pulls repeat visits at this Kentwood Italian sports bar, where Hawaiian, pepperoni, and combo pies come out of the kitchen alongside wet burritos and Italian meatballs. Lots of TVs everywhere you look. Happy hour runs on weekdays, with daily menu specials that reviewers say are easy on the wallet.

American

Wings & Waves

★ 4.6(91)

The 6-piece whole wings with garlic butter sauce have people coming back. Everything is cooked to order, so plan for a 12-15 minute wait, but the wings arrive hot and properly sauced. The whitefish sandwich is worth ordering alongside if you want something off the wing menu.

Mexican

El Rancherito

★ 4.6(49)

The al pastor has a reputation as some of the best in the city, and the flautas come out super crunchy and loaded with toppings. Takeout orders get chips and salsa while you wait. Rice and beans are worth ordering.
