“Super fun bar, great service and food!“

“Fun bar with great people, food, and servers/bartenders! It's a bit on the smaller side but I feel like that adds to the charm and making it feel very close and allowing people to be more comfortable mingling with others and making new friends. The food items that my friend and I have tried were served hot and tasted great.“

“Popped in last Sunday since my partner and I were craving Mexican-style. Had lower expectations being more of what I thought was a 'bar' or sort of hipster hangout, and... it IS both of those things, but WOW! The food blew me away. The nachos were a large portion and loaded with high quality toppings - the cheese sauce might've been my favorite, but the cotija cheese, fresh jalapeno rings, black beans and pickled onion weren't far behind. And DON'T MISS the chipotle salsa... quite honestly probably the BEST SALSA I've ever had. Not TOO hot but smoky, sweet, robust. Just perfection.
My partner's barbacoa taco and chicken tostada were equally delicious. I had one bite of each and was fully impressed and almost ordered my own but had all those nachos to get through. Aside from the great food, the margaritas were delicious and perfectly strong... and the service was attentive and friendly. If I had to choose anything to nitpick I might request added smaller tables instead of long picnic style ones or that the booths be available for 2 tops (they save them for 4 or more) but I understand that this place is generally for 4-or-more and gets very busy on weekend nights. That said we were plenty comfortable at the side rail or could've sat at the bar if we wanted, so there's ample seating.
All in all, we CAN'T WAIT to go back & I think I'll be ordering some of that amazing salsa to go next time... and maybe 1 more of everything on the menu. 10/10 Fantastic!“

“Very popular restaurant and bar. We came on the weekend this time for brunch. Large menu with omelets, benedicts, french toasts. Regular menu has wings,sandwiches and ? .We got the wings and they(3)were large full and sticky. Our omelettes were good with plenty inside. The French toast too. My friend thought their benedict not their best and probably wouldn't get it again. Ask about gluten free or vegan. Betty get GF bread or bun please.

It was busy and the crowd was watching the game so it was fun. Tony U was our server and was on it. ?
Cocktails were pricey to me considering the size

Parking: Free on Sunday and need ferndale parking app otherwise“

“Me and a few of my friends went there about a week ago. We absolutely loved everything about the place, from the atmosphere which was chill the food, drinks were good. The owner came to us personally and asked if we needed anything? And also helped us pick out cigars. The humidor was really nice too!“

“Great Food Drinks & Service“

“Went here this evening. Greek salad was so good. Had a Bloody Mary, it was awesome. Good food and drinks! They have good pizza too. Staff is friendly.“

“Biergarten is one of our favorite local places! This year they saved my fiancé’s 30th birthday when another local bar could no longer accommodate us last minute. I called the day before in a panic and the owner called her workers to come in a little early, helped me coordinate everything with food, and just went above and beyond to make sure everything was great. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Great people. Great place.“

“Thank you to Krystal for the awesome service. Great food and great service, we will be back.“

“I wish I remembered to take a pic of our food, but it was so delicious we ate it up! Pizza, burgers, black bean burgers, nachos, so many great options! I loved the menu and the beers on tap! Great service, delicious food!“

“Everything is great here. The burgers are amazing. The walleye is really good as well. Friendly staff and good service.“

“Great establishment, highly recommended. Love that the owner touches tables during their high volume hours. Friendly staff and reasonably priced food and bev. Would like to see other managers (if there are any) mimic the owner and how personable he is with his customers.“

“It's an okay spot at best, but only because the staff is great.. except the security dudes. All of the security fellas look and speak as if they are mad about something. Maybe it's their job to look hard??? IDK If you're okay with cigar and weed smoke, you'll probably enjoy Soul on Ice. During warm weather days the patio is only for smokers because you cannot escape the smoke no matter what. Do not expect to lounge outside if you're not a smoker of "something". The stinch of smoke gets indoors too because people are smoking at both doors, or they are standing with one foot in and the other out. There's a few ghetto people that go there, but, that's pretty much expected in Detroit, so there's no running from that type. At least Soil on Ice don't water down their drinks, or replace top shelf with cheap stuff like TV is very well known to do. 4.5 stars out of 5 for the DJs, food, and drinks, but the mean-faced security staff and cigars and weed all over the place brings the rating down to 1.0001. Yes, 1.0001 stars! We're rooting for Soul on Ice to continue on for many years, but my wife and I will likely not return unless we have absolutely nothing else to do, or they rearrange the whole smoking setup. Non-smokers want to party indoors and out too! I'm done with this review. I'm off to put my clothes through five cycles of hot water washing using Tide Super Duty Scent Destroyer Extra.“

“Before we moved away in 1972 (when I was 10) This was my father's bar.... Where everybody KNEW HIS NAME.... and I often was with him and everybody knew MY NAME, and bought me Shirley Temples.... I played in the empty stage area on the other side of the bar area.... Has it changed in 60 years? Because I would love to see it if it has NOT.... but I looked up this place because of beloved memories, so I wanted to share. Thank you.“

“BEST FOOD Ever for Downriver's Best Brewery. Outstanding selection of Brews!! Ate there constantly since they opened in Nov 2019. Food is DEEEEELICIOUS! 3 Awesome Brewers/Owners, 5 Outstanding Waitresses, and 2 Superb Cooks. Their constant smiles are catchy for all to view!! Just a wonderful & comfortable place to visit and relax at. And you can play Domino’s there too! Always Enjoy.“

“Our usual server, Erin, makes this place our go to for family dinners. The food has been AMAZING since the new ownership, but Erin’s service has made Sports a standout for our family. She is quick to attend to our needs, and she’s always extra kind and attentive to our son and our dog (when the patio is open). I highly recommend Sports for anyone who loves good food and good service.“

“Stopped in yesterday and had a beer and some lunch. The new owners were friendly and efficient. I will definitely be back.“

“A lot of free surrounding convenient parking. This place reminds me of a smaller St. Andrews Hall. The security was on point. The prices weren't too crazy at the bar. I love that they give you ice water instead of purified water in a bottle. You can get pretty close up to the stage, and I loved that they had a handicap area to sit in as my sciatica was acting up. Will most definitely be back.“

“place is great! now you are doing stand up nights? hell yes“

“A perfect nice,clean corner bar.Great atmosphere and fun times.“

“Anybody reading this, my mamaw was the barmaid there beginning in the 60s. Annie Ruth Ladd. They also lived above the bar for some time. My mother told me that she vividly remembers looking out the window and seeing the National guard going down Jefferson into Detroit. At that time, she was 9 years old. My mother grew up to work in the bar. Her name is Roseann or Rosie. I spent lots of my youth there, playing quarter machines. Rosie Also worked Square Deal. Y'all probably knew my papaw too his name was Jim Ray Boatwright and he was known in River Rouge as being one of the Town drunks lol God rest his soulCan't wait to stop in and reminisce!Also, if anybody knew my family or can share stories, please let me know. Thank you.“

“great place! freindly staff! owner is awesome! i highly recommend the food,especially nachos!“

“Dope bartender made sure he took care of us. He even wore a special hat for the occasion (International Women’s Day). Very cool!“

“This place is amazing! We were waiting for a comedy show to start, we weren't sure about it at first, but felt right at home when we walked in! Sarah was our waitress, who is also a 15 year experienced bartender on the side, was AMAZING to say the least! She was so friendly, helped make us crazy custom shots and was happy to do it!!

Umm they had FUNNEL CAKE FRIES! yeah, like French fries coated in FUNNEL cake batter!!

I've added this place to my absolute favorites for when I'm in town, make sure to ask for Sarah and TIP her MORE than 20% because she's more than worth it!!!“

“We loved the Christmas theme! Can’t wait to go back! Food was amazing“

“the best smashed burger around ever... 😋 highly recommend and the cajon frys good as well ..will be return customer“

“Thank you to Krystal for the awesome service. Great food and great service, we will be back.“

“Great local bar with good food. A little drama on occasion makes it interesting. I have to say that Kaitlyn and the staff handled the three very rude ladies very nicely yesterday👏👏👏 Good grief, it was a piece of cheese!! No need to get so obnoxious with the staff and customers.“

“We recently visited Hook & Reel in Southgate and had a great experience! The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was AMAZING! We ordered the All You Can Eat and there were so many choices - I wanted to try everything. Definitely stop in and give it a try!“

“I was in Detroit for a business trip, and looking for a place to relax en femme (my thing). Other CDs advised me to go to Adam's Apple. For a gurl, it is the best place EVER! I was there two nights, and could not believe the number of gurls there, men also (not enough or too shy to my taste, but that is another story). You go to such bars for the people, not the place, and it checked all the boxes!“

“Ohhh, this bar is awesome!!! The bartender, star, she's incredible! Make sure that you tip her good! Super nice and polite, she was very understanding when I told her about the guy who took my drink, lol. I had a fun time playing chess, talking shit, I wish that there was food, this is the only thing, but even without food, the bar was fantastic, I don't know, maybe there was food and I was too drunk, I don't know. Fun bar, great time. If you're going to come here, don't be too serious.. You will have a fun time, I promise you. Everyone there is polite. But seriously, if you come to this bar, seriously, just give Star your money and she will give you a great drink. She's also super nice so no need to be uptight at this bar, you'll be okay! This bar, great place, there's a party that's going to be at this bar tomorrow, if you're going to come to this bar, seriously, just go to Star, she'll give you a good drink seriously.. I'm definitely coming back to this bar!!! There's not enough good things to say about it, but this is a good place to party, tomorrow!!! Very good!! Thanks!!! P.S. about the food, I don't know if they had any, they may actually have food there, but I didn't know what they had, I got a drink, but tomorrow, I'll see if they have food, and I'll probably forget to even update this review. Anyways, great bar, definitely go here! You won't regret it, just have a fun time here!“

“Been coming here since I was 21 with a 10yeqr gap in my mid 20’s to mid 30’s. Even when they’re packed we have good service. TV’s everywhere so every seat has a good view of whatever game is on. And they have touch tones so you control the music when there isn’t a game. Pleasant and attentive staff. Great beer selection and it’s always fresh. Just wish there were a few more healthy food selections. Even so everything is tasty. Chili is definitely some of the best restaurant chili available and in the fall they have rotating soups.“

“Me and my sister ate lunch at Ford’s Garage in Dearborn. We ordered the Fried Chicken Comfort Bowl. This meal is amazing, and the price is right“

“Great Juke box and awesome food!“

“Oldest bar in Wyandotte open since 1923“

“I choose to celebrate my birthday here. Food was great, drinks were cold, and my kids were able to have fun with us! Highly reccommend this place not only for festivities but as a nice get out the house!“

“Clean, welcoming and cold beer. You could call it a hole in the wall, but it's more than that when you step inside. Your welcomed by everyone in the bar and you'll definitely feel at home after just a few minutes...few places like this place.“

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

“Had an awesome experience there this evening with my family celebrating my son-in-law‘s birthday .The waitress was awesome. Food was delicious and the place was amazing . Love the bathrooms will return and recommend this to my friends.“

“I have been coming here for some time on a regular basis. it is really hit or miss on the food as lot of new people working and they all cook the food a different way. role of the dice on food.“

“Enjoyed the Mother's Day Brunch last year and hoping you will have this again this year 2025? Have been trying to call the phone number and recording always states not taking calls!“

“This place is a MUST to visit!...the food alone is a great reason to make this place a regular because everything is homemade...even the sauce and chips!!!...we usually come every Sunday...but Thursday is ladies night, with great specials...so we have incorporated other days into our busy schedule... because we have nothing but fun...if you're looking for a laid back place, with tons of fun...this is the place...see ya Sunday...✌️“

“the service was amazing.Food was prepared exactly how was ordered.“
