“We absolutely loved the Rugby Grill. It is literally our new favorite restaurant in Birmingham. Every single part of the experience was perfection. We loved the beautiful atmosphere, awesome service and, most of all, the incredible food! The brussel sprout appetizer, halibut and rare-to-find fresh caught salmon dishes were exceptionally fresh, and prepared with the perfect flavors and temperatures. It’s only a matter of time before more people find out about this Birmingham gem now that it’s reopened. Just the perfect dinner!“

“I had an amazing experience at this cigar lounge, thanks to Lena, the general manager. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel genuinely welcome and comfortable. Her service was outstanding attentive, friendly, and truly above and beyond. Lena is a true professional, and she made our visit memorable. We’ll definitely be returning!“

“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“I’ve had a great experience with B. Nektar. I recently stopped in for replacement caps for the growlers I use to store water, and they have always been very accommodating.

I prefer using glass containers, and their growlers work really well for me because they let me store a larger volume than a typical bottle while still keeping everything in glass. The caps do wear out over time, and I really appreciate that B. Nektar has been willing to replace them for me free of charge when needed.

It may seem like a small thing, but that kind of customer service makes a big difference. They’ve always been helpful, easy to work with, and willing to take care of something that keeps me coming back. I’m very thankful for the way they’ve treated me and would absolutely recommend them. Stupid Man Suit is my go to. Love to see them still making it.“

“We hosted our baby shower at D’Amato’s in December, and it was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. It’s such an amazing spot for a private, intimate event—we had around 50 guests, and the space was perfect. The entire process was seamless, the food was unbelievable, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make the day special. Everything exceeded our expectations, and our guests are still talking about how wonderful it was. I would highly recommend D’Amato’s for any special occasion!“

“Super fun bar, great service and food!“

“The best tacos I’ve ever had! That’s a bold and true statement for a foodie like me. I’ve ordered carry out from here before, but this time we ate here. Awesome vibes! The brisket tacos - Braised & Confused just overjoyed my taste buds. The pork taco -Korean Bbq was great. Fun place. Enjoyed some house margaritas and chips with guacamole dip. Staff were awesome, kept things lively. Best tacos in Royal Oak !“

“Great food! Fast service. The cheesy bread was delicious“

“After recently noticing all of the advertisements/marketing of this establishment, I was curious to see what Parrots was all about. I'm so glad that I checked it out, and I can't wait to return. I loved the vibe, the food, and the service was also on point.“

“It's our favorite restaurant. It's crowded and somewhat loud on a busy evening, but I think that's what gives it that local pub ambience. The food is reasonably priced and excellent. THeir gazpacho is phenomenal! (Those jerks won't share their recipe!) There is usually a short wait for a table on busy nights, but that's a good sign, no?“

“Always a great time at HH! The staff is great and it’s like my little “Cheers”“

“$5.99 burger & fries, with a whiskey sour 👌😌🥃 I’ll definitely be back, and only wish I had stopped in years sooner!“

“Sharice is probably one of the best servers ive delt with. She was so friendly, great conversation. All around good experiences. Played pool and there were some other guys who were adding i. 3rd party commentary and it was great. Loved this place, Definitely would come back again!“

“This is a hidden gem in Ferndale, MI. The staff was great and the food was good with generous portions. The beer selection was amazing. I was a first time visitor on August 21, 2025. I signed up for the rewards program and received $10.95 off my bill. I will definitely visit this restaurant over and over again.“

“Kevin was our Bartender for my daughter’s birthday party. He was amazing and awesome.“

“This is a dirty dive bar. Service is great, Karaoke is fun and drinks are simple, strong and cheap. I don't recommend the bathroom if you can avoid it, but tipping the bartender generously gets you some perks. Food sometimes happens here, and when it does, it's fantastic and catered in.“

“I loved the atmosphere & the great service“

“Such a blast to play here!“

“I had two brown slushies on a night I thought a band was playing and next thing I knew it was labor day weekend and I was alone at a subway wondering if a train will arrive, where will it take me, and will there ever be another if I don't go on.

It was an interesting precursor, and I obeyed the voice later that told me to stay home and I lucked out on the train having a stop in my closet.

I'll go again, but I doubt I'll go anywhere within eye sight of the brown slushy machine. Sometimes you drink the brown slushy, sometimes it drinks you and you give 5 stars because you are afraid.“

“We first went to imperial in 2024 on our first visit to Detroit. As soon As we landed, we drove straight here for a meal that we knew would satisfy. The service is always fast and friendly ( ask your server for recommendations for food, drinks, activities they won’t steer you wrong). We opted for the taco of the week ( vegan chorizo and creamy), imperial Sonoran and tostada, as well as the nachos. We were all stuffed and happy. Shout out to Pricilla“

“Purr 🐱 THERE IS STILL NO PAPER TOWEL IN THE BATHROOM“

“Life changing was the closing of Movement 2024 Monday friggin night.“

“Been nice for years an I Ben on puritan since 2000's“

“Dublin Donkey drink was awesome.“

“The Hideout shocked me, i drove by for many years and figured it was a hole/little bar. When I walked in the interior was very nice. So the business end of the review, i had a cheeseburger with grilled onions and it was so darn good I was shocked. I came back the following night it was so good hoping they could replicate it, im not here for the drinks but the cheeseburger! Once again the chef comes through with a home run. Ill be back tomorrow or the next day, its that good and its of tremendous value, im not sure how they do it. The place is a gem!“

“Good decor. Good energy. Pool tables. Food pretty good.“

“Been here three times 1st time on point with service and food on a Tuesday, 2nd time walked out they only had one bartender on a Tuesday service was beyond slow. 3rd time on a Wednesday the service was not great bartenders focus more on regular customers, the food still on point, Dj and vibe still cool 30 and up crowd ONLY!!! Parking not the best recommendation to get there early for parking.
Suggestions….add another bartender and a waitress.“

“Chris and Ari are always smiling in this dark dive bar - we have loved this place for 12 years now, frozen fried food is there when you want it and it’s actually rly good. Just wish they had Aperol spritz 💕🙏🏻“

“Not gonna lie... kinda felt wrong drinking amazing beer in a McDonald's play place... j/j kinda. Our server, didn't catch her name was awesome, not a single complaint and nothing but anything positive to say about her. We dined in on 7/11/26 and were led to a section where there was a group made primarily of kids (def out#ed kids to adults or seemed that way) which seems odd for a brewery, yes grif makes amazing food and they dont want to exclude anyone from enjoying theyre amazing brew and food but like dang... as a parent maybe rethink where you're taking your kids. I really would rather not hear your velocorapters screeching as they run around yer tables as you speak of nothing of importance... thats kinda mean and I meant it... not deleting it.

Our server was awesome, sorry I dont remember her name, brunette with ponytail. Prolly not gonna help. She was awesome. Helped source a fifth of the flying buffalo bourbon and a thing of doppel gangger. Again everything was awesome, truf burger was cooked to med like a pro. Flavor was outstanding. Staff outstanding. Great experience.

Stop bringing your kids to an adult evening getaway“

“Just had the Mexican Smash Burger, it was excellent! The best burger I've had in a while.“

“Came in for Boston for work. Looking for a great tequila bar with amazing prices I found it in Cosmic Burrito. Thanks Pablo! I’ll be back on my next trip. 🤙“

“We had dinner this evening and the experience was absolutely awesome! The service provided by Tim was exceptional and the food was one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. We dined at Beppe last Saturday and it's obvious that For the Wise is a sister restaurant yet it has its own personality. This restaurant is sure to become a favorite in Royal Oak.“
