New American Restaurants near Rochester Hills, MI

“Best liquor store in Michigan! An excellent variety, good prices, kitchen food is amazing, and the staff are the most professional and kind. Always feel like family when I make my purchases from Alan D liquor store!“

“CK’s has been our favorite neighborhood place since they opened in 1998. Always good food and service in a fun atmosphere. Enjoying the patio is extra nice as is meeting friends for a game. They have a great tap list and happy hour and daily specials. The recent remodel looks great!“

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

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

“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!“

“Love the live music with Tony!“

“Kerby's Coney Island is a great place for Coney Island hot dogs and fries!
And then breakfast is plenty good too and the price is right.
Monday's is Coney day, where are the counties are $1.99 as opposed to the regular $2.99 throughout the week!
It's five stars from me!“

“Excellent food and service“

“Had a good experience at Sedona Taphouse in Troy. Our server was nice, although it took a little while to get our order in and for someone to check back with us. I ordered the Caribbean Crab Sandwich. It was tasty, but a little small for $18, so I was hoping for a bit more value for the price. The restaurant was also pretty noisy. The Cactus Lemonade was delicious, though—that was definitely a highlight! Parking is free, which was nice, even though I had to park toward the back. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would give it 4 stars.“

“It's always good. My only critique is that they only have splenda as a sugar substitute. Equal is my preferred.“

“Love this spot! Very spacious location with a very large parking lot even when they are busy the service is prompt food is good! wide selection of activities large bar seating area 10/10 would recommend for any party or just a cool place to hang out!“

“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!“

“Let me just say I didn't actually go in but I placed a special order over the phone. I spoke with Adrienne and it was a great experience. She did a wonderful job, I will absolutely be going in person now.“

“I cannot say enough about this amazing place. The food was amazing cooked with perfection and flavors that were amazing. we happened on the restaurant on a whim and even though it is an hour+ drive we will be returning at least every couple months.“

“Wish I would have taken pictures because our food looked much better than the others I'm seeing here. Even with a hair in the calamari... still the best I've ever had, once remade. Lobster tacos were fantastic! Mine were loaded with lobster. French dip was decent. Great specialty cocktails! Worth mostly every penny for the food. I will say it was being ran by a group of very young people... room for improvement in service but not bad by any means. Atmosphere is attractive!“

“Birthday celebration with life long friends was perfect. Delicious food, drinks, great service, with a cozy ambience. I give Oakland Kitchen & Bar a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“best food ever And a distinguished staff👍👍“

“Came here for a date night and it worked perfectly. The room has a warm glow and the cocktails were well crafted. The Bronzino was delicate and flaky. If I had to nitpick, the wings could have used a bit more heat, but the flavor was still great.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“Excelente restaurante !!!. Everything was absolutely amazing! From the chef’s incredible food to the warm hospitality we received from the owner and the entire staff, every detail was exceptional.

“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. That olive oil truffle popcorn should Be sold in stores, I never had popcorn this good ever and it’s to live for!!!“

“The one thing that gave this place the fifth star was our server.
Unfortunately I cant remember her name but she's from the south of France and you cant miss her accent.
By far one of the best server I've ever encountered and I've worked in the restaurant industry my whole life.
The food wasn't bad but our perch was over cooked
the fig jam pizza was a little too sweet, it over powered the rest of the flavors.
The atmosphere is great, food wasn't bad, and service was outstanding.
Its good servers like this that can take an okay experience and turn it into a great one.
Will defiantly be back.“

“We stumbled upon this place and it completely blew us away. the food was amazing, easily the best breakfast i’ve had in a long time. the ambience manages to be upscale yet completely comfy. the whole staff was also so kind and welcoming from the moment we walked in. rare to find a spot that hits every single mark. can't wait to come back!“

“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 are regulars at Stuffed Bun and can’t imagine not spending our Sunday morning with them. The food is always excellent and the staff make us feel like family. 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 ⭐️“

Your take-out saved the day and the food was good and plentiful. Thank you for being there for us. We all enjoyed a great dinner and know we can count on your pleasant service in the future.“

“Went to Savory Grill tonight (11/14/25). The food was fantastic! Staff so sweet. Great atmosphere and loved that "diner" feel. I miss the days of seeing people sit at the bar eating their food, talking with staff, and just enjoying it all. Great place. I wish it was closer to me. Thanks Savory Grill!“

“Excellent meal from start to finish. We celebrated our anniversary here and it was among the best service we have received at any restaurant.

The meal started with a nice note waiting at our table and a couple of glasses of champagne, bread service was provided - very good focaccia style with high quality side of olive oil.

We ordered two apps , the black rice arancini with crab and the yellowfin crudo. Both were outstanding and I was surprised when the arancini was served made from the black rice which is a staple on their menu. I may not have read the menu right but wasn’t expecting that. Very unique texture and great flavors for an arancini which we like to order at many different restaurants.

The crudo was extremely fresh and very light with complex flavors and not overly acidic. The fish shined thru. Next we split the pink Caesar which was a unique take on a Caesar that I believe had walnuts in lieu of traditional croutons and once again very fresh and delicious flavor for a salad. The dressing was lighter and less salty than many Caesar dressings but you could still taste some anchovy.

At this point the meal was going great and our server and the kitchen continued to time it perfectly. Our server also provided knowledgeable recommendations and reserved the last fish special for us which he had asked us when we began ordering - a touch that I appreciated as this turned out to be the highlight of the meal before dessert.

The entree was a grilled turbot - not a fish I am familiar with and our server explained it is similar to a Dover sole. Spot on. Grilled perfectly with a texture less flaky than typical sole and reminding me a bit more of a swordfish. One of the best pieces of fish I’ve had dining out.

We finished the meal by ordering the baked Alaska which was great and not a dessert I personally had eaten before. Quite the presentation. That said our server also added us a comped piece of the chocolate cake which I believe is flourless and my wife and I were both surprised to find that we enjoyed it even more than the baked Alaska as it wasn’t on our radar to order.

Samy and Matt have quite a team going at forest and the kitchen is on point. Multiple check ins from management and our server while also allowing us plenty of time to celebrate our night together. We’ve been fans of Phoenicia and Layla for many years but I would honestly say that this meal at Forest elevated it to their top restaurant in my mind. This is the level of service that you look for when celebrating but you could tell that the restaurant is consistently very busy as even every seat at the bar was full during our meal.

Last addition is that the updated interior was very nice and the vibe of the restaurant was intimate and easy to have a good conversation. Also had friendly patrons we chatted with sitting next to us.

4th or 5th time I’ve eaten there and never been disappointed but this meal was above and beyond and exceeded all expectations. Thanks“

“We hold our annual business dinner at TMH. We, as well as out guests, are always more than pleased with the food, drinks, atmosphere and service!“

“I’ve never had a bad meal at any one of their many restaurants. We celebrated my daughter and her graduation this evening with dinner at the Deer Lake Inn. Everything we had was great and the server we had was superb, great food and service. The entire menu is good, you can’t go wrong.“

“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“What a great restaurant and staff! My wife and I went for our anniversary. They had a table set up with rose petals and service was amazing. We had the 3 coarse meal they were offering and it was the perfect amount of food and all cooked to perfection. Look forward to going back.“

“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!“

“Absolutely the best most amazing place I’ve ever eaten. not only is every single thing I’ve eaten here delicious, but the service is 100/10.

Me and my sister come here every single week, multiple times. ( we gained most our pregnancy weight here hehe ) if it wasn’t for this place I wouldn’t have had a nice balanced diet and properly gained the weight I needed because I struggle eating pregnant.

My sister just had her baby we even came here right before she went to the hospital for a final meal before labor 😂 we missed out on a few weeks but just came back yesterday. We couldn’t stay away for the food is always a huge craved obsession.

My daughter loves it too 😂🙆🏼‍♀️

Krista, and the chef Franco have become such wonderful parts of our enjoyment here, always check in on us, how we’re doing, and remember the smallest details. We’re always excited to see them, my daughter gets overly joyed and calls them besty😂❤️. Definitely Can’t forget how amazing and sweet Yvonne, Nicole and the manager Chris is too. Never a bad time with any of them, always such good conversations. They’re all such a breath of fresh air and make the meal even more spectacular.

If you haven’t been here yet, definitely stop by ❤️ you will be in for such a treat.

Pricing isn’t bad, quick service, Happy atmosphere, good music

My mother even said she’s been coming here for years too and everything on the menu has always topped anything she’s had at any other place.

Don’t miss out 🥳“

“We have found our place! It’s our go-to for happy hour and for a great dinner experience! We have never been disappointed!! The staff is friendly and very accommodating!!“

“The food was FANTASTIC!! We had completely different food choices and each offering was absolutely amazing. Service was great and Eddie treated us like royalty! Highly recommend!“

“Had not been here for a salad in a long time. Their Chef Salad was just as good or better than I remembered. Lots of fresh tasty vegetables, meats cheese. Freshly baked Pita Bread and Salad Dressing was just right! Waitress was wonderful! Very helpful. Happy with the price and prompt service. Highly recommend!! I will be returning a lot more regularly.“
