25 Best American Restaurants in Rochester Hills

“Very good just as I remembered from years ago,“

“One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The staff was extremely polite and efficient. Food came very quickly after ordering. All around great experience, men's bathroom could use a little attention but it wasn't grody or anything just cramped.“

“CK Diggs is an absolute gem near downtown Rochester! The food was amazing — everything we ordered was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We tried the boneless wings, nachos, quesadillas, Reuben sandwich, Southwest pasta, Cajun steak strips, pretzel bites, and Beijing beef — and every single dish was delicious.

The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and fast. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual night out or a relaxed dinner with friends.

The Cookie Monster and carrot was was beyond delicious.

If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere close to downtown, CK Diggs is definitely worth checking out!“

“We recently visited Griffin Claw Clubhouse in Rochester Hills and had an excellent experience, thanks in large part to our server and bartender, Mae.

From the moment we sat down, Mae made us feel welcome. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and upbeat, guiding us through the menu with helpful suggestions and spot-on recommendations. Her understanding of the beer and food options stood out and really enhanced our evening.

We ordered the Pulled Pork Nachos, which were fantastic, and tried a mix of drinks including the Peach Geist, the Berserker, and the Screamin’ Pumpkin. Mae described them perfectly, and each one lived up to her recommendation.

Throughout our visit, Mae was consistently friendly, attentive, and proactive, making sure our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed, often before we even had to ask. She struck the perfect balance of being present without ever making us feel rushed.

What impressed us most was Mae’s positive attitude and genuine warmth. She wasn’t just doing her job; she created an experience that felt personal and memorable.

We left with a smile on our faces and will definitely be back. Mae truly elevated our night, and we’re grateful for her outstanding service.“

“I've never had a Tornado Katsu Bowl before but the one I got here was excellent. Everyone was nice and ordering was easy. Well worth the wait.

I also got some of the chicken bites to take home and those made a great lunch the next day.

I'll have to come back and try other items on the menu.“

“Nice Staff. Michelle and Erica and Gary were great. definitely would recommend classic Lanes“

“They have a delicious falafel sandwich! First time here.“

“We had a drink and the pretzel bites we awesome“

“My father introduced me to Lucky’s and they have become my favorite restaurant. They are worth driving 30 minutes for a fantastic meal.“

“Always great food and great customer service!!! Lydia was our server last night - she was excellent!!! 6 stars!!! 🌟🥰“

“Over 5 stars recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The atmosphere, staff, and food was all phenomenal at Whiskey Rae's! The smell, taste and love in the food. It's gourmet homemade food with a twist 🤌 Much respect and appreciation for the Chef Drew. Excellent hospitality and service from our down to earth server Isla!“

“I took my two son’s here today. My youngest has autism and others’ kindly describe him as “a handful.” Accurate. The server comes over and asks for our drinks. She brings them back and my son just throws the cup across the aisle. And then laughs. Autism is super fun like that. Lauren (the server) was super nice about the mess. Another female server cleaned up the milk. They were both very understanding and it helped so much - probably more than they realize! I tipped them both but I hope a manager sees this, because, they are awesome employees!! You’re lucky to have them!“

“Nice place for a quiet beer and conversation with a local or two. Weekends aren't too busy so there's always room for one more. Friendly staff, good prices and a good variety of spirits and beers to choose from. Offer keno and several TV locations to view games.“

“I ordered the chili cheese burger, I should have asked if they use frozen premade patties. They just never taste good. On the upside the wife for fish and chips and seemed to enjoy it. Waitress was friendly and helpful. It was almost too quiet inside (could hear the cooks talking)“

“Cold tall glass of brew! Hot ads wings!“

“Having had the pleasure of visiting here on multiple occasions across a long span of time, I can say consistency is key, and that word is etched into the walls of this fine establishment, serving as one of its main ethos's.

You can visit at anytime of day, and get exactly what you ordered, how you ordered it, with rarely a deviation, and in a time of constant change, a bit of stability in your dining experience can mean the absolute world.

The service is impeccable, with the waitstaff always aware when you would like to order, when the food is ready, and when you need a refill among other things.

If you're looking for an all-around fantastic American-style dining experience and are in the area, why not visit and see for yourself.“

“Great experience eating at the bar. Always love the cheddar biscuits and the drinks were great. Watched the USA hockey game with the other patrons, so it was a nice vibe! I’ll be back for sure!“

“Came in for an early lunch today and was pleasantly greeted by a sweet young lady at the front door. She had such a great smile and energy, very nice to see. Our server greeted us right away and was so upbeat. She took our order right away and our food came out so quick! As we were eating an older woman with long hair came to check on us. She was so nice and accommodating, asked us if everything was to our liking, if we needed anything else, and chatted with us as if we were old friends. We had such a great time that we will be back and hopefully see these three again. Just wish I would have gotten their names :(“
