New American Restaurants near Hazel Park, MI

“We finally got to dine at Mabel Gray's and it was phenomenal! The staff was great. We did the tasting menu. 8 prefectly timed courses. The cocktails were creative and yummy. The food, let me tell you about the food. Warm and cold oysters, fantastic. 2nd course was a cross between a cevieche (sorry if spelt wrong) and sushi. Yummy!! Wing, the best sauce I have ever had. The show stopper for me was the clam chowder. Fresh buttery goodness. I could eat that all day every day. Deep fried sweet potatoes. That made you realize you have been doing sweet potatoes all wrong. Duck dumplings that make you want more. I am too stuffed to type anymore. Go get your Mabel on. You won't regret it!“

“I had a chicken salad and it had a large amount of chicken in the salad. My choice of what I wanted in the salad and dressing. The family members that work there are really nice people. If you eat bacon, try the crispy bacon and egg breakfast sandwich.“

“Used to go here all the time since b4 covid...then they brought back community seating for the big dinners and now won't go back. Don't need to spend all that money to sit and stare at people I don't know at my table. Food is always good. Quit trying to maximize profit and just use tables like u did b4. Thanx for your “

“Must try the peanut butter and jelly slider if you’ve never had it“

“Rosie has provided us with an unparalleled dining experience. From our initial visit, she has been a standout server, alongside Maya. Her commitment to delivering exceptional, personalized service is evident in her friendly, attentive, and professional approach, making our first experience at Seasons 52 with Rosie a compelling reason to return.“

“Ordered a carry out for my wife that just had surgery! She also has a gluten and egg allergy, the staff was very helpful in determining the food was free of these allergens. BTW, the chicken fettuccine Alfredo was awesome and the noodles were some of the best we have had!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly selections“

“Went to Grey Ghost for my wife’s birthday. The place is very clean, and the service was second to none. We were a party of six and had a great time. The food was out of this world. Would definitely recommend this place for a date night or even a special occasion. Also want to mention the atmosphere is great. The setting was perfect.“

“Asparagus Pistachio Butter, Scallops, Parsnips, Rib Eye, Pecan Pie Catching Rabbits Cocktail“

“This was our second visit to Hamilton’s. Upon arrival back, we were immediately reminded why we rebooked. This time last year, the hotel and restaurant were barely open but still left an incredible impression.

This time around, we were just in time to try the new fall menu - which was texted to us in advance with our reservation confirmation. As part-time vegetarians, I’d had my eye on the lasagna. It just so happened, they had a “taste” of lasagna on the specials menu that evening. The vegetables and pasta were cooked perfectly. With the mushrooms, you didn’t miss the meat - at all. And the béchamel. Oh my goodness.

On the advice of Manager David, we also tried the whole roasted chicken. Holy. Moly. This bird was herb brined, starring rosemary. Juicy, tender, perfection. Crispy skin. The smashed potatoes were just stupidly good. Creamy and crispy perfection.

The food, signature cocktails, and amazing wine selections aside, the true stars of Hamilton’s are the staff. David was ever-present without being over-present. BJ delivered his artistry in libation form flawlessly. And Chef personally delivered the chicken and heard all our feedback. We felt like superstars the entire evening.

10/10 do recommend. And you’d better believe we’ll be back!“

“Love this restaurant! We travel from Windsor Ontario to eat here because of the great food and drink. However the best part of Troy Yard House is the staff. Namely Sara who works the bar. She is simply amazing. I marvel at how she commands the bar yet encages with each of her customers. We have been here several times and attend based on Sar's schedule. We truly appreciate her as well the other staff who make this a GREAT place to be!“

“best food ever And a distinguished staff👍👍“

“I celebrated my birthday at the high bar over the weekend and had an excellent time! Although we only ordered drinks, the service was spectacular and the atmosphere was unlike any other restaurant. Beautiful presentation of our beverages as well! Would love to return for dinner sometime.“

“Ran into this place the day before the marathon. Sat at the bar and got recommendations on what to get from the staff. Everything was fantastic. We ended up with calamari, scallops, gnudi, and trilece for dessert. This place was one of the best parts of our trip and we're excited to return. The only thing better than your food is your staff.“

“Amazing anniversary dinner there and did not disappoint!! 5 stars and we will be back.“

“220 in general is pretty great all around. Ambiance is top tier, food and drinks are great, service is spot on as well. However, a big reason I still go is because I know it's in good hands with Mekhael. I know what to expect when I go because I know he's running a tight ship. Always takes care of his people and it's obvious. Good on 220 for choosing such a phenomenal manager to run that establishment!“

“Great foodie experience! Jake our waiter was amazing! Excellent food and service!!! Desserts delicious! Go now!“

“Literally the best breakfast sammich I’ve consumed. I’ve had several attempts to recreate this at other diners & they ALL fail in comparison.“

“I love Batch! Of course the beer is good but in addition to that the sandwiches are always amazing, and it’s always a great vibe whether you’re outside or inside. Plus they’ve got trivia, food pop ups, and so many other events and activities“

“We came to The Whitney for an early birthday dinner for my husband. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience there! The staff went above and beyond my expectations. The food was amazing and cost was much less than I would have expected for the caliber and presentation of our meals and dessert. For all of you paranormal afficionados, their Ghost Bar is a must. The owners of The Whitney have done so much to preserve this amazing estate in Detroit without any funding assistance from the government or grants. Please consider supporting them by being a patron the next time you are in Detroit.“

“*EDIT:
The owner did reach out to me to apologize and offer cleaning/replacements for my clothing. They also spoke with the staff to make a training and learning lesson for them which I appreciate. I’m changing my rating of the experience based on Owen’s response, as most owners do not attempt to rectify a bad situation.

I have never had an experience as bad as the one I just had at Firebird Tavern. Needless to say I will never return or recommend this place to anyone. The visit started well and our server was very pleasant and attentive. Halfway through our visit, a full tray of drinks and shots was spilled on me to the point that a mop was needed and a wet floor signed was placed behind me. Not only that, but my white shirt is stained and not reparable. I was soaked. The server eventually did apologize to me and told me that she was personally comping ONE of my drinks. First of all, I would NEVER expect the server to comp any drinks. Second of all, I was never approached by the manager to access the damage or talk about comps, WHICH I would assume from the establishment itself. When we were brought our bill, I asked the server, ‘what is the establishment taking care of for my damages’. The manager eventually came to talk to me and did not seem aware of the situation, even after many servers explained what happened and I showed him my clothing that was still wet and stained. He simply replied that the server was comping one drink and he would see what he could do. The server came back with the same bill, no initiative from the bar or manager and I paid for the bill as it was. How is this acceptable from a bar that my table paid several rounds of drinks and food for the night? I have never experienced this lack of care in my life and cannot express my disappointment and frustration with the management and overall experience of Firebird. What an embarrassment to our city. As a resident of the downtown area, I would never expect such a terrible experience.“

“HOLY CANNOLI!!! My first time here and wowza! I love that Adam set our table with flowers and a candle and charm... Amani is Aaamazing! Beauty, knowledge, and kindness that is key for incredible service.

Perfectly mixed cocktail, freshest, most refreshing salad butternut squash, apple, pepito salad..YUMMY...Eggplant parm bites! Wowza!

“As always, Stoney River Steakhouse did not disappoint! The food, ambience , and service were excellent! What a great place to celebrate my birthday with friends! Even the location is convenient!!

The professionalism of our server, Angela, was superior. The staff, managed by Michelle, was professional and courteous! Whether you choose to order seafood or one of the delicious meat entrees, you’ll be so pleased!!!

I highly recommend Stoney River Steakhouse.

“The place is great! Food is pretty good, well presented and great taste, but the portions are very small for the price.
The service was excellent. Our server was great. Great atmosphere too. The only thing we didn't enjoy much was the fact that the music was way too loud for a restaurant. We could barely hear the person seating next to us.“

“My wife and Enjoy the customer service every time I hate I don’t remember our waitress name she was awesome, she knew the menu, she came over to us every time on time, she was great! This is my wife’s favorite she love the Ribeyes well done, Ocean Prime never miss with her stakes.

“The food and service was excellent!!! The stuffed salmon is a must!! The bartender customer service was impeccable.“

“Great service!! We shared small plates and entrees!“

“12 burger joints in one day. We ranked them all and Comet was at the top overall. I was just taking bites at the last 3 but we did it. 140 miles. Was it a ton of fun? Yes! Will we remember this forever? Yep! Would I do 12 in 1 day again? No flipping way 🤣“

“Food was delicious we just had appetizers and the smash burger tacos and chicken bites were so yummy, but the best part was the bartender and the service! Shawn was our bartender and I have not had such a friendly, helpful, nice, bartender/server since before covid. Thats what customer service should be like again! Seems to really enjoy his job and the people he serves!
We really enjoyed our time here before the game! We are leaving with a great experience and our day is genuinely better walking out of here! Highly recommend!“

“Visited O.W.L. early today as it was the only dine in resturant open for breakfast.

The breakfast menu is small....and the food was hot, fresh, flavorful AND, delicious. We ordered bacon with egg and chorizo with egg breakfast sandwiches.

Sandwiches were generous, and prepared with care. Make sure to ask for eggs well done if you don't want runny egg yokes with your meal.

Offerings of fresh pineapple and watermelon juice are refreshing breakfast thirst quinchers if you're looking for a natural morning pick me up!

I also paid attention to the chef....she continuously put on fresh gloves when handling food and beverages.....this was very important to me.

The chef/server and staff are pleasant and very accommodating!

We will return, soon, to sample their taco options!

Try O.W.L. when time permits. You will not be disappointed!“

“Had to travel an hour to get to Costco for the last 12 Montepulciano wine in the state! Then we stopped at The Coach Grill on the way home and I had the absolute best corned Beef Sandwich I have ever had anywhere! The Burgers were prime meat and delicious! Best ever! Will not miss this Burger and a Beer Resteraunt next trip to Madison Hts!!!!“

“We held our private event in the enclosed patio at Firebird in Troy. The patio was heated and decorated to look like a lodge. All of our guests felt like they were in a homey environment. The food and the service was impeccable. Our guests were so pleased at the attention to detail and the promptness of the serving staff. The event manager, Jenna, made the entire planning process easy and stress free. She helped us set up our buffet menu and was there day of assisting in decorating and making sure everything was in order. I would highly recommend hosting a private event here and plan to do so myself for future events!“

“Nice atmosphere, nostalgic vibe.

Parking: Parking was great even on a Saturday night

Kid-friendliness: Likely kid friendly during the week or daytime.
Older kids/teens would have a better time.“
