11 Best Bars in Novi

“This was a reserved table for a birthday party with 8 adults and 2 children. The waitress, Alyssa, could not have been more welcoming and helpful when we arrived. The table was ready when we got there. We had balloons and gifts and a large cake which she promptly put away until we were ready. At the appointed time she furnished the cake, plates and additional forks. Alyssa was extremely helpful. The food was excellent. She was very attentive even though she had other tables to serve. It was a busy night. Our request for separate checks was accommodated without hesitation. In fact, she may have suggested it. We all agreed we would come back here for any occasion.“

“Absolutely best and highest quality Chinese food that I know of. This isn’t your typical “Chinese Restaraunt”. You’ll find no buffet or anything of that sort here. Impeccable interior, with the added plus of the Jia Bar Connected and owned by the same owners. Stop and have a craft cocktail at Jia then 10 steps into the China Cafe through the door and be prepared for a fantastic experience! Owners are absolute gems as well.“

“Great place with great owners. High recommended especially for cornhole.“

“Lilly was a good server. the food was amazing, huge portions, very affordable“

“I ordered o line & there was a glitch where my card was charged, but the order didn’t go thru on Buddy’s end. I thought I was gonna be screwed & have to take it up with my card company or wait & see if the charge fell off, but Buddy’s did right by me and made the pizza for me I had ordered online“

“Really good place and good food“

“I’ve been here several times. The last time was in April 2025. We ordered a glass of tomato juice and a white Russian from the waiter in the comedy club. He returned quite a while later, to tell us he did not have either of those things. Now, when we ate at the restaurant upstairs before the show, I confirmed with the bartender that he indeed had plain tomato juice available. They also had the ingredients, I’m sure, for a white Russian in the upstairs bar. Can you imagine how much business you’re missing just because a waiter didn’t want to go upstairs and get two common drinks? Just a thought.“

“I've been going here with a group of friends for a several years now and it's become a tradition that I would never want to quit! The food is delicious and the staff is AMAZING (shout out to Miguel, Raul, Seira, Angelica, Crystal and anyone else I've missed --- LOVE you all!) Some of my go-to faves: shrimp tacos, anything with beef cheek (quesadillas, tacos, etc.), taco salad, fajitas (the meal that ends up being 2-3) and anything from the bar :D I'd also like to take a moment to really commend the staff & owners: ever since COVID started, it's been extremely tough for most every restaurant to obtain/keep their staff. I know there may be times Alchile can get really busy (as there are a lot of us that go regularly) and there may be times you may have to wait longer than you'd like to get a seat (or your food/drink) but know that the staff works really hard & truly cares about each customer and you will NOT be disappointed! They are well worth the wait“

“the food is always great and I love all the servers. they are so kind and caring. great neighborhood spot“

“Really yummy Margaritas!!!“

“if you're coming there for cocktails, it's great. Food, eh. French onion soup had no onions, and was just onion broth with cheese. Fries were cold and weren't remotely warm. Hoagie was good.“
