“Best ribs I’ve had in a long time, great food decent service prices are in line with other good pub food places we will be back!“

“Best food in the town love the food“

“Eating this in my work van on lunch as I type this review. Seafood gumbo 10/10. Worst thing about this place is I couldn't get everything I wanted to try in one work lunch because I'd drop ridiculous money on it. Next up is red beans and rice.“

“So...6 days ago my family lost everything in a house fire with no renters insurance, litterally everything including my car burned down. After the fire claimed everything but our lives, looters/criminals stole everything that was left. It's just been a horrible week for my family but really thankful to be alive. Tonight (Sunday 8.10.25) we arrived 45 mins before closing time, which we normally don't do due to both being servers majority of our careers, we just dont come during closing time usually but we had a babysitter for an hour and we just wanted to eat out peacefully. Jeb/Jebidiah was absolutely amazing. He never once made us feel rushed and answered our many questions. (seriously, I'm picky when it comes to ranch and A1 and Jeb was on it, very politely) and I cannot thank him enough for his positive attitude, attentiveness, and overall great personality. I hope he is abundantly blessed and that their other servers are as amazing as he was. We will 100% be back. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the atmosphere was calm. Like really, Jeb, I hope all the good things happen to you and we will be back and request you as our server. Great job, O'Malleys ❤️“

“So let me start of saying I do not leave reviews barely ever, but this restaurant right here is just amazing. Especially the server Lisa. You will be super lucky if you get her to serve you. She is on top of stuff. She was quick loving always has a smile on her face. This is my second time here and this is now my favorite restaurant. She even went as far as asking if I wanted her to butter my French toast for me and when I was done she even put everything in to go containers. I also was a pain and wanted to eat outside where there is two tables but not frequently used so there is nothing on the tables like jelly sugar menus etc. She goes out of her way to set it up for me with a smile on her face. The food is excellent I got French toast and county skillet and man the food is amazing for a decent price. You get better food and a lot more food for the price of a McDonald's meal. Seriously you have to try this out. Ask for Lisa I assure you, you will not regret it. Tell her tija said hi“

The food is delicious and portions are generous. A few of our favorites are the country omelette, breakfast burrito, cinnamon pancakes and chicken Greek salad. 5 stars ⭐️“

“We went to Bitter Tom’s for my birthday last night. Not only were the food & drinks amazing-especially the feta spinach dip. But the service was PHENOMENAL. Our waiter was Joe, he even joined us in eating the birthday cake we brought! And another waitress, Alyssa, was so friendly & helpful with my cake. She put it in the cooler, got candles for me, lit them, cut the cake, & helped box it back up. All without being asked or being our server. I was astounded. Perfect experience & i could not recommend more!“

“We haven’t been to The Fed in a long time! Like 2 years, we always celebrate our birthdays or Anniversaries ❤️ always a good time there. Last night we went there on a whim and Andrew Schneider was amazing. From the minute, he greeted us at the table it was top-notch throughout the whole meal. We’ll definitely be back. We definitely miss the vibe. Thank you Andrew(Drew) for an incredible experience and service. And of course, the food was fantastic!“

“This is a great store! You feel welcome as you get greeted in. A lot of customers are known by name, and you can tell the owners care and get to know everyone. This place has probably over 1000 different varieties of spirits and if they don't have what you're looking for they'll get it for you. The owners are still chipping away at renovating but it's coming together nicely.“

“Had a random stop to this Coney during some volunteer work in the area and I was very happy to stop in. Food was great and would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for some great coney that taste like that classic Top Detroit coney spots but out in Pontiac Michigan. Great service, great attitude, great food, even had to tip the waiter who helped because the attention and service was on point off top!!!!“

“Stopped into Alberts today for a burger an fries. Great food! Excellent and friendly service, and a decent price. What more could you ask for! Stop by when you are in Auburn Hills. You can even eat inside unlike some of the other local places!“

“First time here and let me tell you we were impressed! Nice staff and great decor! We ordered the Greek Omelette, came with hash browns and toast or pancakes! The tzatziki sauce tasted and looked homemade, it was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the Leonard Omelette, both outstanding! Will return soon!“

“Diana was very customer friendly and she helped me pick my order. My first time here from out of town and decided to stop in and try it out. Diana definitely has a welcoming personality, and she deserves a raise. Everything taste fresh and I enjoyed the food. I will definitely stop in next time I’m in town.“

“Have a good night of poker while you benefit a local charity. It is a double WIN!“

“Everything was good. Service ,Food. I'm just a bit confused tho. You walk in it looks like a Lodge. Very nice wooden Bar with many taxidermy works displayed in a log cabin feel. You walk past that into a side room, and your in a 60 and 70s displayed poster room of music posters. And past that room back to a lodge feel with high cielings and wooden cieling beams. They did have what looked like a nice outdoor seating area open during warmer weather.Everything was Great just not sure about the music room.“

“Good food selection good people“

“This is a hidden gem, great choice of food, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The ladies serving at the bar are amazing, I always leave looking forward to my next visit.“

“Great restaurant went in on a Sunday me my wife and kids they had a party of more then 35 people they still took us in with no questions and we where treated really well, food was quick and tasted really good will definitely use them as my family diner thank you guys.“

“Outdoor dining, fast waitress, and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in my grilled cheese. Not what I expected. Bread was so HARD. Definitely not worth over $17. Mac and cheese had a really great crust and my boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork though!“
