“I am having a fantastic club sandwich and fries for lunch. This is probably one of the best clubs sandwiches I've had. I know you are thinking how do you mess up a club sandwich? The layering is pretty dang perfect and fresh ingredients. Pickles are outstanding and my fries were crispy and hot. My waitress is a pleasure to have and so attentive. Prices are beyond reasonable. We are repeat customers for sure. My husband loves coming here for breakfast too.“

Awesome food (Big Buck Roll up and Fries are my favorite), great staff, and the ambiance is off the charts for our liking.They have lots of IPA beers to which I don't drink but in the summer they usually have some pretty solid brews on tap.“

“I've been coming here since I was a kid and they're still one of the best places for a good lobster bisque and filet mignon. The service is usually pretty good and I always enjoyed getting to sit by the tennis courts to watch people play if/when they're there. Make sure you look up the hours and days they make the bisque otherwise you won't get it. Special days only but definitely worth it. I'd be sad if the restaurant closed because it's nice for a special occasion.“

Union Joints American • $$

“Seems like we always make our way to Clarkston and the Union every trip to Detroit even though it's gotta be 30/40 minutes out of the city.We flew into Detroit for a family visit last week and went to The Union on our way to family house. The food is always lights out and that day was no different! Chicken noodle soup was outrageous. Of course we got the famous Mac n Cheese, two orders actually as one was for us and. The other to take along to the house and share. The surprise winner though was the homemade meatloaf! Maybe the best I've ever had, top 2 at the very least.Thanks for the great meal and see y'all next time.“

“There was about 15 of us that went to Art and Jakes in Clarkston on Sunday for a Detroit Lions game. We arrived a few hours early knowing there would be many people coming for the game and got a great spot in the bar area. Our waitress, Kendall, was nothing short of outstanding. The place got absolutely packed for the game, and we had different groups joining our table throughout the day, and this girl never got rattled or lost the friendly smile on her face. If we needed an extra chair or two, management was on it. From someone who spent 16 years in the restaurant industry, I know when people just get it right and they do. The food is great too, but the service is what I call "winning at the margins". It was such a fun atmosphere and a great time. My group had many compliments about the team.If your in the area or looking for a stop on your way to Pine Knob or to watch sports, I highly recomment you stop in.“

“The Fed is a very beautiful restaurant with amazing food. Myself and five friends went to the Fed on a weekend for brunch. we shared the begniets as a starter and they were delishes. I had the short rib hash and it was very good with great flavor but a big piece the size of a small apple of meat and fat was in my dish. It was inedible and the chef informed me that is how short ribs cook. Two others in my party had the same dish but without this problem. I also was a little upset with the $10.00 a person deposit collected at the time of the reservation and put toward our bill at the time of service. The $2.25 non refundable service fee for charging this deposit was an insult. The restaurant was never without empty tables while we were there, the food was amazing and I might say worth the splurge but these required deposits and service fees will be part of my decision to eat there again.“

“The last 3 orders at Culvers drive thru, each time other cars behind me have received their food and I had to go in and request my order. The last order on 2/7/24 waited 25 minutes Twice the manager stated the charges for food would be reversed on my card due to the long wait but it never happens. Very poor service from Culvers employees and manager.“

“Loved the food! The service was pretty good. We were a party of 15, and we were brought the check on one bill. Never asked how we wanted the check and when we asked if they could split it, they said no, sorry. It’s on one bill. Then, when someone only had a card and no cash to add to the bill total, they happily took off her part of the bill and redid the total. So if you’re a large group, just make sure you clarify how they’re doing the bill before hand. Temperature is also inconsistent with hot to cold shifts, so bring a jacket. Great food though at a great cost!!!“
