Reviews of The Ideal Bite Community Kitchen (Catering)

Ingramar Miller

It's very pricey!

Dennis Swift

Fresh wholesome delicious food. Generous portions. Your grammy greets you at the register. Take a break from northwestern rd & orchard lake. You will not be disappointed.

Rufus Stephens

My wife has visited several times. She said the All you can eat Fish Fry on Friday is phenomenal. We decided to stay local and try the Mother's Day Brunch. Ideal Bite Community did not disappoint. They had a variety great dishes. Good value for the menu. Truly a wonderful Mother's Day experience. Enjoyed by all. Looking forward to the All you can eat Fish Fry!

Jason Stakvel

This is a newer place and this was my first visit. At first the menu sounds fancy which typically isn't my taste. However, they are very picky eater friendly. Service was reasonably fast and judging by menu descriptions, a higher quality of food. Grass fed beef hamburgers in a large size (1/3 or 1/2 pound) at a price cheaper than going to Red Robin. Containers and utensils are all certified compostable.

Pastor Lindsey Murphy

Excellent fish and chips! So enjoy a place I can go and get food that accommodates my food sensitivities.

Kiana Griffin

Pass by this at least once a week and never paid attention to what it was. Stopped in for lunch today on my day off. It is nicely decorated. Self seating or takeout. The employees were nice. The food was very good.

Eugene Greer

Had heard good things about this place, but had not been there. Today we stopped in for a late lunch and enjoyed a delicious meal. Freshly prepared food with great combinations. We ordered Whitefish sandwich, and Turkey melt with bacon and avocado along with bacon and cheese fries. Very tasty and I highly recommend. We will be returning. The baked good were also yummie.

leo angelo

Great selection, wonderfully cozy restaurant, tasty meals

Danielle DePew

Yum! I went with the turkey/bacon Panini and fries. So fresh and tasty! They also added in a piece of apple pie (one of my favorites). I'll definitely be ordering from here again!

Dea Lancaster

I brought my 5 year old in to try I the place out. The place is clean and nicely set up. We ordered a hot dog, French fries, and a Turkey sandwich. The fries were cold, and the sandwich was missing ingredients. They took it to fix it. In the mean time my kid finished her food and was ready to go. Never actually got my sandwich back. The food tastes good, but for the cost one would expect that it be cooked correctly and served hot. In the end I spent just under 20$ for a hot dog and cold fries. Bummer I was really hoping for a better dining experience.

Scott Winder

Fresh and unique, with interesting flavors and an airy modern environment. Happy customers and friendly staff. Also, some of the best sandwiches I have ever consumed. Ever.

Polly Bachrouche

Hidden gem. Best farm to table restaurant around. Everyone should try it.

Daryl Rollins

Great food, service, location at a fair price

Tom Macaulay

Great food, served by people who care: for you as a customer... and the community beyond their walls. Reasonable prices. A real asset for the community, they now recognize us as we enter and greet us warmly... and by name.

Mateyah Moore

A little expensive for your neighborhood diner but it is delicious.

Adam Backhaut

On a whole different level, food is out of this world!

Cassie Hull

What a great little place! Food was excellent. Well the fries were a little salty for me, but the burger was excellent and the banana bread was delicious!

Andrea McLester

I was introduced to Ideal Bites when the cafe at my office building was being renovated. The food was amazing every time, regardless of what I ordered. As a result, I sought out their bricks and mortar location in Farmington. It has become my favorite place for brunch. The Shrimp and Cheese Grits are out of this world, and if they are out when you get there (yeah they really are that good), try the Pork Belly Benedict. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, and if you are too busy to cook during the week, be sure to check their refrigerator case for some wonderful, pre-packaged meals to go--all made from fresh ingredients by the talented chefs at Ideal Bites. I highly recommend the Hungarian Mushroom Soup! Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the food is unforgettable!

Austin Johnson

Very good food. Amazing

Dave Root

Checked them out at the Palmer Building downtown pop up ....the turkey panini is amazing and the cheesy potatoes delicious!

Brian Robinson

Best mushroom soup!

Arica Jones

Healthy, & unusual flavors! This place found me a new favorite comfort food.

Scott Lange

Great food! Great community restaurant and catering service. You won't go wrong with them.

Lisa England

Best hidden gem in Farmington Hills!! The staff is amazing and so friendly! The interior is set up in a way that makes it feel really homey. Everything I have ever tried there has been absolutely delicious. The food has a modern take, but still maintains a home cooked feel. Highly recommend!!

Stephen Gibbens

Not your typical corner restaurant, so much better. I have enjoyed everything I have had here because it is as close to home made as you can get in a restaurant. I particularly like the vegetable couscous and the apple quinoa salads. They even have a pop-up restaurant in The Palms Building downtown Detroit.

K Jordan

Their food isn't the typical kind of food I eat, but what I ordered, mac n cheese and chicken sliders, was really good. The restaurant is very basic. The staff was very nice. The chef came out and talked to us.

Kevin Shelton

Great local place, kinda pricey

SkilledWacky .

food 4.5/5 service 4/5 atmosphere 2/5 I heard good things about this place and decided to make the journey here and try it out. The food and presentation is great and it tastes delicious, but its a bit on the pricy side. The service was alright for a quick service restaurant. The only thing that knocks this place down a star is the location in a strip mall. This type of food I usually wouldn't associate with this type of suburb if the location was more central such as downtown Royal Oak, Birmingham, Detroit or Ann Arbor I think the lines would be out the door because the food is that good. Definitely worth a try if your in the area.

Alyssa Alonzo

My boyfriend and I ate here yesterday. The food was amazing! You can taste the quality. Will definitely be back again soon!

Jacque Steudtel

Just off the beaton path on 11 Mile and Middlebelt is where you will find a unique cafe/grill. Known for catering to many business and special events they are growing, and in demand. Providing a refreshing and hearty meal to the local residents of Farmington Hills and surrounding areas, the word is out! Featured on local news channel as a place you can find a variety of sandwiches and homemade soups both unique and traditional. This family owned business brings a comforting feeling with warm greetings. The BBQ pork sandwich and the grilled cheese. Unique specialty sandwiches are great! Deserts are available.

Cindy Wan

Cozy atmosphere and delicious sandwiches!

Lindsay Kennedy

The absolute best local restaurant! Everything is made fresh and from scratch. All of the soups I've had there are amazing. They always come with fresh made croutons. I often crave their bacon tomato panini with their special garlic aioli! The best sandwich hands down. They also have an excellent cous cous side dish and great salads. No this is not a soup kitchen btw but they make excellent soup.

John Holmes

GREAT FOOD

Christine Bussey

Fresh food, cute seating area. Not a lot of simple meals for finicky kids.

Deena Gardner

This place is a favorite for my entire family. We grab dinner, a quick salad or dessert and it's always consistent. The staff are the friendliest and knowledgeable. This place feels like home and that you're amongst family anytime you stop in.

Tarisa Tugun

Awesome fresh food, lots of gluten free options too

Sandra G

Great place for lunch. Varied menu with something for everyone. Everything is made to order with fresh ingredients. It was hard to decide what to get because so many things looked good. They also do take out and catering.

Exquisitely presented. Community Gem. If you have not experienced it yesterday, you have to try it.

Eaten here over 5 times and not an issue. Everything is great so far and their in house menu has specials other than the fixed menu on the website. I'm impressed by the level of professionalism, care and most importantly consistency. Absolutely worth the price when the ingredients are fresh and well sourced.

Christa Linderer

Supporting this venue. I've been there in the past and will most likely go there after work today :)

Lauren Featheringill

Fantastic selection! Food was spectacular!

Raquel Smith

Not only is the quality of food stellar but their customer service is top notch!

Nancy Jennings

I love stopping in to the Ideal Bite to see what goodness they are cooking up. I ordered catering from them for a board meeting and everyone raved how good the food was AND got seconds. So glad to have them in our community.

Tiffany R. McCants

I've been here more times this week than I'd like to admit. The customer service, food, and ambiance is great. The food is a little pricey but it's high quality, freshly prepared food that you can never get from a fast food restaurant. My favorites are the turkey melt and the chicken Cesar salad. The Cesar dressing is absolutely delish. It's great to have a wonderful restaurant like this right in the community. They cook food just like I would if I had the time and energy. When I'm too tired to cook I visit them for a carryout and have no regrets.

Kate S

Good food. Prices high, but is all fresh stuff. Hard to order takeout without set menu or website.

Tom Camel

Jor M

Read about them on Facebook last week and went to try it today- the food was INCREDIBLE! The service was great and the guy at the counter was adorable. Will definitely be back asap

Matthew Sklut

They have great food and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Half-way through a fantastic apple and brie panini with garlic aoili, the proprietor drops off a round of cupcakes to all of the patrons because we "looked like we'd enjoy them." So added bonus: apparently the employees can also read minds because the cupcake was awesome.
