“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.“

“My experience with Robusto’s has always been a great one. Food, drinks, cigars and service always hits right on the nail and I always leave this place looking forward to coming back. I bring family and friends here with me and they always look forward to coming back again to hangout. 10/10 place. They’re doing something right here and I love being a regular at Robusto’s. If you want to eat, smoke, and drink and have a good time? Truly come here. You will not regret it.“

“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.“

“I like going here lots of TV's.. i an hooked on their Bloody Mary's. it's hard for me to find bloody mary mix i like.. most, I do not like. Been there 3x in the last 10 days. All the bar food was exactly what I think bar food should be. A GREAT share plate it's the Super Nachos.“

“Took our first trip to this place just last night. Has a little bit of everything for those not looking to stay seated during dinner. Food took forever though and was decent. Waitress was a little lost with constantly asking our table of 6 what they ordered and whose drink went with whose order. Other than that the atmosphere was pretty cool. We played some cornhole, which was decently priced by the hour ($10). Plus they had classic arcade games, free to play like Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Frogger, and Donkey Kong along with 90’s classics like Mortal Kombat, NFL Blitz and House of the Dead. Plus over a dozen pinballs. Arcade area was a sight to see since most places now use carnival or ticket games. They also had a poker room which was full. Did not see any pool tables, darts or disc golf so not sure if those get removed during poker night. I’d consider coming back but not during their busier times. It was more than half capacity but id imagine an even further delay on food or your wait staff being really lost handling more than 20 orders at multiple tables. Either way I’d recommend it as long as you aren’t really hungry going in or don’t like huge crowds.“

“As Toby Keith would say, “I love this bar”! I just found my new home away from home. So cute inside. TV’s, pool, darts…etc. Amazing food. Which they are going to expand their menu. Keno is coming soon. ? They have fish for Fridays. I’m hooked. ? I had the garden fresh pizza and it was fabulous. My girlfriend had the Guido burger and she said it was heaven. Met George, one of the owners and cooks, very friendly! Looking forward to my next visit here.“

“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!“

“Always good food and friendly staff“

“Gator Jakes is one of the best bar/restaurants in the area!!! Awesome food, great specials and delish drinks. The wait staff and bartenders are always so nice and efficient. The Hurricane burger is one of the best burgers I have had. The atmosphere is always fun and there are tons of televisions to watch sports. Stop in there soon!!!!“

“Good atmosphere, great food and awesome bartenders“

“The food and atmosphere is excellent!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“Great food and drinks‼️‼️🥃🍸🌮🧀🍔“

“Dude. We went here last night…AMAZING. Food was great. Drinks were great. Music was A VIBE. I feel bad I don’t remember the server’s name who was outside on the patio, but genuinely some of the best service I’ve ever had, and I worked in the industry for 10+ years. He made great recommendations, was running his butt off, and just overall did a great job. You guys keep doing exactly what you’re doing. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“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! ?“

“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.“

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

“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..“

“Great place great wait staff the owners are amazing“

“Love the new sand courts and bar.“

“Love, love, love it!“

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

“Love this bar. Food, fun and friends“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“I really like this bar and the people who work here. They are very attentive and do what they can to make things right for you. The food is very good. They will accommodate you with substitutions. For example I didn't want meat on my cobb salad so they put shrimp on it for me instead. Shout out to Matt! He's always on his toes. I totally recommend this place for get togethers, date night, hanging out with friends or even going solo.“

“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.“
