REALLY good Thai restaurant, a bit pricey, but very good food… be aware that carry out on a weekend can take a LONG time (sometimes over an hour from when you call).

L.A. Cafe                              5815 Dixie Hwy
(248) 623-1610                   Waterford, MI 48329
Local coffee shop; their fancy coffees run rather sweet.  Good affordable food with vegetarian and meat options, ~great~ omelets, and cool people there.

Clarkston Union                   54 South Main Street
(248) 620-6100                  Clarkston, MI 48346
Really good restaurant, though kind of small, usually busy and a bit loud.  Good food, unique menu, and LOTS of varieties of good beer and hard cider.  Worth eating at - people rave over their Mac & Cheese.

Union Woodshop                  18 South Main Street
(248) 625-5660                   Clarkston, MI 48346
Owned by the same folks as the Clarkston Union, and good as well; southern style barbeque, woodfired pizza, pulled pork; quality ingredients and they have collard greens available as a side (yeah!) ~ THEY HAVE A GLUTEN FREE MENU ~

Honcho                                3 East Church Street
(248) 707-3793                   Clarkston, MI 48346
Interesting blend of coffee shop (best coffee in the area) and mexican street food place.  Quite good.

Deer Lake Inn                        7504 Dixie Hwy
(248) 795-2077                   Clarkston, MI 48346
Nice restaurant, kind of pricey, but REAL good food and reasonably priced carry out… good salads, and if you like pizza, theirs is quite good.

Parker's Hilltop Brewery        6110 Dixie Hwy
(248) 383-8444                   Clarkston, MI 48346
Brew Pub; better than average food, including unexpected stuff like pierogi (though still largely what you'd expect at a brewpub).

Sparkie's Kitchen & Bar         2868 E Highland Rd
(248) 887-2610                   Highland, MI 48356
American grill; good ingredients (kale, brussel sprouts, field greens, etc), relaxed vibe, quality food.

Kickstand Brewing Co.         3050 Union Lake Rd #4a
(248) 301-5941                   Commerce Twp, MI 48382
Great brew pub; the Village Pizza is amazing.  They brew good beer and hard cider.

Johnny Black's Public House 5171 Dixie Hwy
(248) 599-9001                   Waterford, MI 48329
A restaurant and whiskey bar.  This place has *really* good whiskey glazed brussel sprouts, and I hear their steaks are great.  But they also have the most obnoxious walls of big screen TVs ever.  Like everywhere.  Ow.

Billy's Tip'in Inn                   6707 Highland Road
(248) 889-7885                  White Lake, MI 48383
Ribs/chicken/steak kinda place, sometimes live music.  Decent food, reasonably priced. 

El Patio Mexican Restaurant 7622 Highland Road
(248) 666-5231                   Waterford, MI 48327
I hear this is good, authentic mexican (mexican food's not my thing, but people seem to really like this place).


There are, as well, numerous fast food restaurants, sub shops, and other chain restaurants places to eat up and down Highland Road (M-59) and Dixie Hwy (24).
