50 Best Bar & Grill near Birmingham

“A special day. A special night. Couldn't be better. Arranged by our son and daughter. The waiter did everything, except eat our food. The wines were a delight and the steak and salmon were prepared with artistry. He guided us with each entre and the salad was shared by us with dressing aside. Wine, was by the glass and was both red and white and light, semidry and elegant. Our perfect dinner ended the perfect evening. Thank you 220 Merrill for a wonderful 50th.“

“Let me just say I didn't actually go in but I placed a special order over the phone. I spoke with Adrienne and it was a great experience. She did a wonderful job, I will absolutely be going in person now.“

“Great location, easy to find. Stopped in early on a weeknight. Not much going on, but the bartender was friendly enough, the beer was cold, the counter was clean and the few other customers were all friendly and enjoying themselves.
So ..cheers, thanks a lot!“

“Game Day at CJ Mahoney's
With no way to catch the big game at home, CJ Mahoney's was the perfect destination. Nestled in a cozy booth, we had our own personal TV, the perfect setup for an immersive viewing experience.

We kicked off the game with a classic Supreme Pizza, a cheesy, saucy delight topped with a colorful array of ingredients. While she sipped on a couple of refreshing 7 and 7's, I opted for a crisp Diet Coke. Later, we indulged in a flavorful cheese Quesadilla, a cheesy, crispy treat that hit the spot.

Despite the packed house, the staff handled the crowd with impressive efficiency. They were friendly, attentive, and kept our drinks flowing.

CJ Mahoney's has become our go-to spot for game day. The combination of great food, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere makes it a winner in our book.“

“Not the best food. I had a slider and the Mini Taki Mac and Cheese. The slider was excellent would definitely get it again, but the Mac and cheese was very underwhelming. It had just a little bit of takis dust on top but very little cheese sauce. Service and atmosphere were both excellent though

Vegetarian options: They have veggie tacos and I think i saw a veggie burger option. The veggie tacos look good even as an omnivore.

Parking: Lots of parking space“

“My friends and I love coming here! We’ve made it the spot we visit regularly! Great food, fantastic staff and a welcoming atmosphere all around!“

“Just left and wanted to write a review ASAP! Took my guy here for his birthday. We went to the bingo brunch. Even though there weren’t many people there at 10 am the bingo host played the game and awesome music in between each number being called. We each won bingo and got some fun prizes - shirts and games. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for playing games. The hostess was very welcoming. Our server was sweet and attentive and the food and drink were fantastic! What a gem! Can’t wait to come back!“

“had a blast last night. the 80's band totally rocked. great staff great atmosphere LOTS OF FUN“

“Delicious food and excellent selection of Michigan draft beers. Great atmosphere as well.“

“Vast variety of wine and cocktails. There is something for everyone from drinks to food. The menu will not disappoint.“

“Great meal! Great service! Lisa & team were awesome!“

“Delicious! Make your own salad was wonderful with lots of good ingredients.“

“This place is an absolute gem! I randomly found it after my nail appointment down the road and I am SO glad that I did. The drinks were strong and well priced and the whitefish was the best I have ever had! Huge piece perfectly cooked with a thin, crispy batter served with two sides from a huge selection! Truffle fries were delicious and DO NOT sleep on the key lime pie, hand made by the owners themselves... Incredible!

The best part of the whole experience was the AMAZING service that Joyce provided. She was fun, friendly, and attentive and I will be going back to see her very soon despite living pretty far away.

Oh, also their shiny copper penny bar top is super cool! Definitely worth a visit!“

“Our group had a Christmas dinner event last night and everything went perfectly. We made our reservations with Morgan. They were confirmed with Chris and Kim was the head waitress. Kim also had several other members of the waitress staff help us and the service was excellent. We were in a separate room and it was set up to our specifications as I had previously discussed with Morgan. This is the fifth year that we’ve had our Christmas social event at this restaurant, and we will definitely be back in the future. Our cost per person may seem a little bit high, but we did also get appetizers and two drinks for each of us.

Parking: On the negative side of things, the parking is a little challenging for people in wheelchairs or with motorized scooters, but it still worked out well with a little bit of advanced planning on our part.

Wheelchair accessibility: Our party is a support group for people with mobility challenges, and the room was set up with all low tables to accommodate wheelchairs, and the tables were far enough apart that everyone could sit and move apart comfortably. We requested to make one minor Change after everybody arrived, and they accommodated us without any questions. Next year we are going to ask them to set up the tables in a U formation, and we are confident that they will accommodate us.“

“Rhonda and Julie, thanks so much for the soup and cheese sticks. Annette loved both very much! She couldn't stop smiling! I enjoyed a couple of the cheese sticks as well!“

“Always a fantastic time at J's! The service is amazing and the wings are the best out there! Thanks J's, love having such a chill place to hang in Ferndale!
Editing to add, I hosted my hubby's 50th here last night, it was such a hit! Everyone was so accommodating and the staff is the best in town! Thanks J's for making his birthday party perfect with warm pies and cold beers! Stella took excellent care of our entire party! The best! ?“

“Awesome food and drinks for over 15+ years. Come on in!!“

“Got the pickle back chicken and it was amazing. Our server Sam was attentive and helpful, checked on my weird food allergy and made sure I was safe. Loved it and wanna go again soon.

Vegetarian options: Lots of Vegan and Vegetarian options, and super yummy“

“first time there for Lions tailgate party! Absolute awesome place to watch the game. Donnie the manager was very attentive to our larger party. Kaylie was awesome at taking care of us. Good time all around had by all. The $16 buffet pre game was a great value, and the food was excellent. Highly recommend checking out the tailgate party before every game!“

“Over 25 crowd (most patrons were 40s +). There is a $15 minimum to use a card so if you're just having 1 drink, bring cash. No cover. Pool tables and bar. I was told they no longer sell food at this Bar & Grill but I didn't confirm if the kitchen closes very early, is temporarily closed or closed indefinitely. There is outdoor space and also a food truck up the alley behind the businesses on Grand River. The staff was friendly and there was plenty of seating. It's not huge but there was a perfect number of people to enjoy yourself and not be crowded with people breathing COVID unknowingly. Old school music with some hustle tracks thrown in. I would go back.“

“I went to Time Out on a Friday night around midnight in search of some late night grub. It seemed as if this was the only place open in Waterford! I tried the chicken fingers and fries, and they were great! ?? You might say how hard can that be to cook? I've been to other places that it seemed like I told them to cook a dinner impossible. Anyway, the waitstaff was awesome and attentive, plenty of TV screens, there was a great dj spinning that night as well. About 30 people came in not too long after me and atmosphere livened up considerably. The Time Out is definitely a vibe! Oh yeah, I don't drink, but I can vouch for the Coca-Cola tasting good, too ?“

“Food is always hot fresh and new menu
Music be jamming
The bartenders always on point, they are direct, and will wait on you immediately love that
The pool table all I'm gone say is get there early lol IYKYK great spot to hang at no drama
Them quesadillas off the chain?? order it with chicken cheese peppers and onions ask for Garlic Butter change your life“

“Love this bar. Food, fun and friends“

“Great place great wait staff the owners are amazing“

“Well the stone house is were you'll find a friendly biker atmosphere, with a rustic inside and a conversation with a group of people you. Might provably never invite to your home... in a beautiful Detroit neighborhood..a definite bucket list to do..“

“It's an excellent atmosphere and the drinks and music are the best, as well as the staff..“

“Went to see friends perform here. Every time, there is one bartender who is busy. It's a wait to order food or drinks. They also want you to bring your glass back to the bar. And, the place gets very warm. This place has a great sound for bands. Local hangout for some.“

“Great view, nice menu, good food!“

“Had a family celebration and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Our waiter Grant did duty above and beyond. The hostess was helpful in finding a table that could accommodate us and the menu provided something for everyone. A wonderful evening“

“All I can say is WOW! I had my baby shower there today and Zach and Rosa took care of us. They were the absolute BEST team we could have asked for, they went above and beyond for us. Beyond serving and bartending, Zach helped us unload and load our car, hang decorative banners and Rosa was helping us brainstorm how to make the best of the space and was very sweet to make sure everything was timed out just how we wanted it! The food was absolutely delicious, too! We got the lunch buffet and would highly recommend that to anyone considering booking a party here! Also a big thank you to the managers, Pip and Tim who helped to make our party perfect and were so accommodating! Thank you to the awesome Camp Ticonderoga staff!“

“Fun time meeting people. Great food and drinks.“

“I've always had a good time here the handful of times that I've been. Bartenders are always great and the vibe was chill with an array of different characters. Very easy to lay low and keep to yourself but also any time that I've mingled with other patrons they've always been pretty cool. Nice big parking lot right off the service drive, which comes in handy if you don't feel like doing downtown Ferndale. Perfect walkable neighborhood joint if you live near 75 and 9 mile. I've never experienced it being too crowded and there's a solid pool table in the back. Also did my first karoake there and had a blast.“

“We landed here after arriving in town on a Tuesday evening and needing a good dinner. We were immediately welcomed in (after first trying another restaurant where no one even came to seat us). The atmosphere was warm and inviting with live music. The food and drinks were excellent. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Royal Oak!“

“Great food, great service, great place!“

“Not really much of a sports bar person in the past, and I have lived in Royal Oak for years and just started coming here. The service is always really great, but because it’s so popular sometimes it can get very busy, it’s a great place to watch a Lions game hockey game, etc. The staff is always been extremely personable, and the owners are almost constantly there. Definitely a place that cares about the product they are putting out, The pizza and the cheese sticks are delicious. I will literally die if the cheese sticks ever go away. Definitely an old school bar where you can actually speak to people and meet new people pretty much at any age group. Definitely not the norm for downtown Royal Oak.. Some of the other reviews sound like they’re probably from people who aren’t used to being in public.. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Fabulous place. Great food and service.“

“Recently started going there for lunch with my daughter. Such a cool place, and a delicious menu. The margherita pizza and the sandwiches were fabulous. The onion rings were out of this world! My server last time was this young woman Sara, she was just wonderful and fun. Ask for her!“

“went there tonight with husband and family and had a wonderful time. our waitress Stacy was friendly met everyone of our request. Food was delicious. I will be coming back and will recommend this place to all of our friends.“

“I love the drinks and Donna Jean Fine azz“

“I always grab lunch or dinner from here & i am never disappointed! Menu changes daily!“

“Loved the food. Ava our waitress was great. We will most definitely be back.“

“Wow those catfish bites were to die for! Best bites I’ve had in a while. Hot fresh and the potato skins ?! Green Tea ? shots were very delicious ? as well. There was a girl throwing up in the lot as we walked in lol, she may have had too many drinks. Decent atmosphere but a little hood feel to it, but still had a good time out. Until next time flks #keepemhungry“
