20 Best Bar & Grill near Clarkston

“We sat out in the tented area on a very cold night, and yet it was comfortably warm in there. Service was faster than I expected on a busy Saturday evening, and our orders were exactly as we requested.

Dietary restrictions: The gluten free hamburger buns aren't great, but our server noticed that I'd taken it off and asked my opinion & suggestions. The burger itself was good, though!“

“My family used the Game Room 2/23/25 for a Memorial Gathering for my brother, Andrew Clark. Though the reason for the occasion was a somber one, the Game Room was perfect in atmosphere, size, amenities, and decor! Food was top notch, service superior with our 2 bartenders who kept dishes clear and beverages flowing. Erin, the manager was a jewel to work with! She answered questions and offered suggestions and took every phone call with grace and sincerity. I would highly recommend Buck Shots Bar and Grill for any reason to get together with family and friends! Sheryl Greene, 2/25/25“

“Had a fun time here. The band was great, made some new friends. I will be back!“

“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!“

“Fantastic restaurant, with phenomenal food and service. Every time we go the whole family tries something new, everything always tastes wonderful, comes out quickly and great portion sizes. Their salads and salad bar is always fresh and the best. Definitely a family favorite.“

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

“Came up from Ohio to visit our Michigan friends, and here is where they took us to eat. I wasn't sure what to expect but it started out with an incredible welcome by a server named Vanessa. I ordered the bourbon bacon cheeseburger I think is what it was called the hamburger with beer cheese and bacon and caramelized onions. First of all it was absolutely huge! Second I have never had a better tasting hamburger in my entire life! And I've been to quite a few places, this beats it hands down! all four of us were absolutely blown Away! We're headed back up soon and that is where we will be eating dinner, and we will be asking to sit in Vanessa's section. Vanessa was amazing with us and all our little nuances and what we wanted and what we didn't want, she was just simply amazing! she's exactly what a server should be like! She absolutely deserves a raise! I look forward to seeing y'all here in the next couple months!“

“The Lakes catered a bridal shower for us today. The food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. We had the Michigan Salad, Firecracker Pasta w/Chicken and Salmon w/Citrus Cream Sauce. The entire experience was outstanding. I've dined in before with my family multiple times and the food has always been delicious. I would highly recommend The Lakes.“

“We have been here before, so we had a party here for my son's birthday. It's a nice place, great atmosphere. Plenty of TV's & a cool arcade area. Our server for the party, Savannah, was great. Along with our party, she was also covering other tables & didn't miss a beat. We ordered multiple pizzas, which were great. On top of everyone's drink orders & all the pitcher refills, she was very helpful & had a great attitude. If you're having a party or just want to watch a game, check them out.“

“Excellent food I will definitely go back!“

“They have awesome service and the food great, they have entertainment every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights“

“I dined in yesterday afternoon & we had the best waitress! Her name was Savannah & she was great! She made the overall experience way worth coming back & dining again. Our orders were perfect, our drinks stayed full, & she had a very welcoming attitude. Good job Bullfrogs on hiring great staff!“

“The place to be! It's so great coming there and feeling like family. Amazing food, awesome creative drinks and the prices are so reasonable. I can't say enough about how much I love the staff! They are all my friends from going there. Forget about Olive Garden, CLI is "when you're here you're family!"“

“What a great place to kick back and enjoy a nice evening for dinner & drinks. Such unique menus items. 10/10 for the bourbon pulled pork nachos. 10/10 for the dessert funnel cake fries.
We also found out about their taco Thursdays — can’t wait to go back for that!!!“

“Great food and atmosphere. I definitely recommend this place to everyone.“

“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 ?“

“The regular Waterford scene sees an honest Irish bar with young culinary talent and a penchant for activation. This hole-in-the wall has a lot of character and remarkably good food (by Waterford standards). There is a lot of traditional Irish fare, and you can tell that love goes into the menu. I've heard the burger was good too. I'm gonna go back for that.

Where it's successes are many there is a dive element it is trying to shake - it almost feels like the business would benefit with a reimagining of the space and a shifting of the layout.

I think it would be great to see more Irish whiskeys too.“

“Love it!! Great place to stop in!!“

“A very comfortable place with very good food and service! I love the Prime Rib on Friday and Saturday night with the Bourbon Glazed Salmon being a close second. One of the best French Onion soup bowls if you like the cheese melted over the bowl. (which I do!)“

“Brittany pretty cool but Sammie pretty lit. Awesome experience between the both of them 10/10 would recommend I would definitely buy another couch from this place“
