  When waiting around for my next class to start, I was starved and stumbled upon this little cozy diner style grille.
  
  I came in around 9am on one occasion and 10-11ish the other and it is busy! I initially was Surprised at the crowd and the amount of regulars they had but when I tried their food, wasn't so much anymore.
  
  My favorite omelet is the western, the onions, peppers and ham were cooked and seared to perfection and still had that slight veggie crunch in them! They made it so well I'm having trouble liking any other places breakfasts, and I've had a few that can't compare so far in the Southfield area already!  Their portions are big and you definitely get your money's worth and then some. This grille is close to my school so I'll have to get the campus crew here some time to try them out. I'm sure they'd love it and the affordability.
  
  The service was great, very polite and nice staff. I really enjoy the cute small diner style feel they've got going on, especially with the Christmas decor now. I adored my small cozy booth with my warm coffee watching the snow fall as I had my breakfast. I will be back for sure.

  This fantastic diner is located in a busy strip mall on 9 Mile & Coolidge. It's not terribly noticeable because of all of the other busy stores surrounding it.
  There is plenty of parking in the huge lot adjacent to the Mobile gas station on the corner.
  
  Inside, the diner is quaint and staffed with friendly professionals. Each time I visit, I think to myself how my encounters are lovely with these folks.
  
  There is plenty of seating and plenty opportunities for people watching and even chatting up a stranger. I can tell that the patrons who eat there are regulars. They look so comfortable eating there. Although I have only gotten carry outs, I will definitely go back to dine in.
  Carry out service is fast and efficient.
  I have had the cinnamon roll french toast, a burger and fries and also a corned beef sandwich on my multiple visits. All were delicious, fresh, and hot. OH...and onion rings...yum!
  No issues with incorrect orders, either. They obviously care about their customers.
  Credit cards, including AMEX are accepted. The food choices and prices are comparable to other diners.
  They sell bottled juice for your convenience.
  The  various cakes in the display cooler look delicious.

  I have been to 9 Oaks Grill multiple times. I actually live down the road and was super excited to find a breakfast place that was close.  It takes a lot to deter me from my usual breakfast places, but sometimes you just want to go somewhere, not wait in a line, grab a table and get amazing breakfast. Sounds easy, right?
  
  So, 9 Oaks Grill is tucked into a plaza with multiple other stores. If you blink you could miss it.  Actually, I would love for them to get a bigger, bolder sign so people know that they exist.  It's not a bad sign, but you can't really see it from the street.  
  
  Anyway, basically this is my new go to breakfast place (along with Monty's. Loooove Monty's). There are tons of options on the menu, but I always seem to get the country hash. Who doesn't love crispy hash browns, green peppers, onions ham, cheese... Yum! When you sub feta for cheddar they NEVER skimp. The breakfast platters (yes, platters) are huge. I always have breakfast leftovers for the next day.  
  
  The veggie omelette had lots of really fresh ingredients and was perfectly cooked.  Grab yourself the corned beef sandwich (9 Oaks Special). It's really tasty! At first I thought it may be just like all the other corned beef sandwiches, but there is just something extra delicious in this one.  Maybe it's the buttery grilled thick rye bread or their specially made corned beef. I don't know, but I love it.
  
  The food is really good and maybe one day I will move past my regular order... It's just so damn tasty.  The standout here is really service and climate.  The servers are always attentive and friendly.  Maybe this is just my perspective, but they seem to actually like one another.  There is a simpatico between the waitresses/waiters and the kitchen. They always seem to be smiling and joking.  You can always tell when staff is treated well and I always appreciate that in a local place.  I like to eat local and try very hard to shop local. These are the things you can't get from bigger places.  
  
  Also, the small diner feel brings me back. I like walking into a small place and seeing the same people.  Maybe that makes me uber traditional, but I appreciate that in a place. If they keep doing what they are doing, they will have a customer for a long time.  
  
  Stop in! You'll be glad you did.  :)

  I have been here several times and I absolutely love the environment. I usually get there around 8:00 am for breakfast. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN... this place takes the award for the cleanest restaurant in the area, bathroom included. They have their usual customers who appear to come in daily. The waitresses know them and their orders. It was wonderful to watch such exceptional CUSTOMER SERVICE!
  
  Fast service and the food always comes out fast and very tasty. This place doesn't seem like a restaurant but rather going to a friends house for breakfast. I sneak away here when I want a hot, good meal, and quiet place to start my day. I wish I could give them 10 stars!
  
  The only coachable feedback I have are about the grits. They aren't soupy like most places however, they were still very under cooked. So much so I had to send them back.
