I love the beautiful waterfront view here at the point where the Detroit River opens into Lake Erie. This club is connected to an island that is connected to an island that is connected to an island. Go figure!“

“Had a couple drinks and apps out under the covered patio . Good food.“

“I would rank this as the best gluten free pizza in the Detroit & downriver area. I'm fully gluten free and have tried roughly 10-15 places & this takes the cake! Perfectly cooked, fresh ingredients & toppings. Lovely service too! Also they sell hot sauce made locally which is amazing on the pizza :)“

“I recommend their food. It’s fantastic!! Great atmosphere! Great service. The owner is a great guy.“

“Came here for the first time for the Burger Battle & it was amazing!! We both had the Bender Burger, & it was one of my favourites so far. The fresh cut fries were delicious, & our server Tayler was friendly, on the ball, & amazing!! We’ll definitely be back!!“

“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.“

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

“The best patty melt I've had in a long time!! Already planning my next visit!“

“We had a great dinner!! Great selection. I had a Gyro and Mike had a Chicken wrap!“

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

“We dined in a couple days ago for the first time. The food was absolutely amazing! I tried the Yum Yum burger and my husband ordered the Reuben. Our waitress was very nice. However I felt bad for her. It looked like only her and one other server were waiting on all tables which were full. We rarely saw her and our drinks were never refilled. We were there an hour and a half, 25 minutes of that was simply waiting for the check. It is a great place! But maybe plan to be there a while if you do go.“

“Oldest bar in Wyandotte open since 1923“

“Such a fun, calm and simple local bar. Easily our favorite go to spot!“

“The only reason I’m giving a good review is because the bartender. Thank you for Amanda for the great service. I’ve always loved this bar but the clientele is biggest problem. There’s a big guy in orange clothes that smells so bad you want to throw up. I’m not sure why he’s allowed in.“

“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.“

“Such a cool venue! The acoustics were amazing and I never felt crowded and always had a great view. They also had upper level, wasn’t open when I went (the show probably wasn’t sold out) but that’s a super cool option for sold out shows. Bonus, the beer / alcohol prices are the same as going to a bar which is a huge plus. I wish I lived a bit closer to check out more shows here.“

“Burgers are amazing. My favorite part is the stickers from Jen 5 Stars“

“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 corned beef and burgers. Friendly people.“

“I've been going to this place to watch the Wings win since the 1990s, but have since moved to Alaska. But everytime I come home, I'm still drawn to this place like a moth to a flame. It's changed over the years, but they still keep high quality beers in tap and in the bottle.
They removed the TV from the men's room, which needs to be out back so a guy doesn't miss a goal while having a piss. Its only fair, right?“

“Had a great time with all my friends and Amber our waitress\ barmaid hooked us up some really good burgers and fried zucchini. Atmosphere was really good if I could have had a few drinks it would have been a perfect afternoon out after such a long time of isolation from all my friends. Thank you Amber?????“

“I've been going to the R&R since I had a fake ID at 17 , I loved it then , not much has changed , i think that's great , its still relatively, neat and clean all employees , are or were friends and so friendly , it's nice time if you want to sit back and 5alk about nothing while you enjoy some time doing nothing , give it a try it's a throw back corner pub“

“Nice chilled relaxing atmosphere. Great friendly Staff. Excellent service.“

“Not worth it today. Pulled pork served with disgusting hunks of fat. Ultra slow service. Usually really good, I regret today's visit.“

“This is our 2nd time here and we love it! We've been on a slow Sunday, and a busy Thursday evening. Two different experiences for sure, but each time the server was super personable and food was amazing.
The pizza is SO good! I'm from the east coast and it reminds me of pizza I had growing up...made by Italians! You can tell whoever created the menu loves food. The combinations of tastes in each dish are so satisfying and different from a lot of other places around. We definitely plan on returning a bunch!“

“I Love this bar it is a great bar it just recently opened up again I'm excited for every weekend. Open mic on Fridays there's also stand-up comedy the bar is really coming together everybody should come down and have a great time with us. I consider myself as family with the bar because I live right next door and I'm there all the time and they're very kind and courteous to their customers. And it's a place of dancing pool games old school jukebox and great times..... Stay tuned more is coming“

“Harvs Lounge is a cute local neighborhood bar was recently bought and rebranded from Joe’s and Joe’s bar after the passing of Joe. There’s an authentic neighborhood vibe, the cheapest pool in town, a wide variety of alcohol and a good variety of your typical local bar including fried foods such as fries mozerella sticks, fried pickles, and more! They also serve burgers and chicken sandwiches which are both delicious! And on Fridays we have a kicking Karaoke night with Karaoke with ADHDalex of Audial Entertainment every Friday night 9pm-1am! Come check out this fun little spot with a rich history in Lincoln Park!“

“Best dive bar around!! Pool table, AMI Jukebox, TV’s, Keno, Pull tabs, half pound burgers and fries!“

“This place is a total dive, but in the best way possible! The Redneck Riviera is a hole-in-the-wall joint with a heart of gold. The beer is cheap, the music is loud, and the crowd is a mix of locals and out-of-towners looking for a good time. It's the kind of place where you can kick back, have a few drinks, and forget about your troubles. If you're looking for a no-frills, good-time bar, this is the place to be.“

“I love this bar, as Toby Keith would have said!“

“Came in tonight for a girls Christmas party. Our waitress did amazing with so many women coming in at different times. She was attentive and made sure our drinks never went dry. She had just came back from a leave and with a new system, and a system error, she never acted stressed. I’m so happy we had our party at @sneakys again this year.“

“My family has eaten there a few times. Today we had the Mothers day Brunch.Good variety of breakfast and lunch foods. Friendly staff. Try them you wont be dissappointed.“

“This place was awesome. Cool bar, great food the owner Bobby was a top notch host. Definitely going back“

“First time here! When you hear about little bars or restaurants off the beaten path that have great food, Franks Cafe is the place. We squeezed in to the last two available seats at the bar today (Fish fry Friday) and ordered the walleye and the perch. The wait for it was a little long but holy moly, well worth the wait! The owner was in constant motion at the fryers working his butt off as were the wait staff and bartenders too. I’ve had fish all over the downriver area and this place was the best! I’m from Irish Hills where they have good fish too, but I’m telling you, try the fish at Franks! Outstanding!“

“Went there after a Tigers game and realized we were hungry. The young waitress came over immediately. We ordered drinks fries a
nd a grilled bacon sandwich. People chatting casually. Felt like a good local bar. When we left a couple of the regulars were outside and told us to enjoy the rest of night.“
