“I always love coming here for the great selection of oysters. The space is cozy and overall the experience is usually pleasant. Today our server was honestly a little rude, which made our experience unexpectedly poor. I totally understand if someone is having a bad day but to be rude during the entire service when my whole table was as nice as possible is different. Definitely disappointed with our visit today.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious drinks and our bartender Brandon was awesome!! Definitely recommend this place!“

“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Recently visited Main Street billiards and just an overall great atmosphere and vibe. The music was really good, not too quiet and not too loud. Many places to sit and grab a drink on a Friday or Saturday night. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well as they serve food. Highly recommend for something to do in downtown Rochester Hills. Always enjoy coming here. There are 2 sides, a bar area with a dance floor and a billiards area with arcades.“

“So nostalgic, my dad owned this restaurant bar back in 1993 when it was 4th St Bistro & Señor Froggs, so being back here and seeing it flourish truly makes my heart happy! The atmosphere is absolutely fabulous, and the service was quick and friendly from the moment we walked in. The drinks are incredible, especially the white chocolate raspberry with the chocolate mousse on the rim… YUM! It’s seriously amazing 🤩 The food is just as delicious. Whipped Feta! Love seeing this place shine! 👏🏼“

“Abdul, Abdul what a waiter, super polite and kind. Always has a shining smile on his face while helping you out. He is the best waiter ever, will for sure be back. Great food and all in all great experience.“

“Great place! Attended an end of year gathering with friends. Food was really good. We had bang bang shrimp, street nachos, spinach and artichoke dip, pretzels. All delicious. The service was fantastic. Our server was very friendly and very attentive. Highly recommend.“

“Hazel’s is one of those no-brainer places you hit with friends or family when you’re looking for something casual. Some dishes are better than others but overall the seafood is fresh and tasty. The servers have all been very tentative and nice over the years which makes for a positive experience. This is definitely a place I will continue to patron and recommend.“

“The names of the staff that I can remember our Tayler, Courtney what’s the guys name Trevor, Trevor, Eric Gary, Harry, Harry, the girl who had the blue snowman on her black shirt under it I was here at the bar don’t remember she’s been here a couple nights in a row though, since I met you in the past couple weeks yeah she’s nice I just want to thank everyone for welcoming me here at Robusto‘s because everyone is nice, and they help me find a cigar that is perfect for completely“

“The place was awesome great burgers and extremely great prices. The wait staff was great me and my wife popped in for a beer and some food. We were greeted instantly when we walked in And we had drinks in front of us in about 2 minutes The food was awesome The burgers range from about 8 bucks to 12 bucks depending on what you order. The fries were like five bucks for a whole basket. They also have outdoor seating with a nice patio in downtown Utica which is great. Right down the street from Jimmy John's field. You could definitely sit out on the patio and watch the fireworks when the field is doing them. Could definitely bring children here. Not so much wheelchair friendly as there are a couple steps inside. Although I'm sure you can manage somehow. There are plenty of places to park around the back there's a big lot that you can park in down the road or you can get lucky and get a spot in downtown Utica. The service was fantastic The burgers were cooked to perfection and drinks were ice cold what more could you ask for. I'm definitely recommending this place and we will definitely be back You can't beat it.

Parking: Big lot to park in down the road or you can get lucky find a spot behind shamrocks or park right on downtown Utica Street

Kid-friendliness: Could definitely bring your children here they got burgers awesome fries

Wheelchair accessibility: A little difficult to navigate with a wheelchair but I'm sure you can manage.“

“Where do I even start! This is hands down, the premier cigar bar! I’ve gone to a few others and they don’t compare to DCs. Chris and Donny (owner) has done an incredible job. First off, the ventilation. On a packed night, the place isn’t even overly cloudy or smokey, great ventilation. Their humidor also offers a great selection of cigars at affordable prices. Next the food. Everything in the menu is top notch and other very affordable. The steak bites, deviled eggs, burgers, fries, everything, 5 out of 5. Now, the atmosphere, unlike any other cigar bar. It’s classy, looks good, clean, and always has a great mix in music and tv selection. They also have a hell of a drink selection, very impressive. Lastly, the staff. I’ve become a regular over the last six months and have had the pleasure to work with some of the best in the business. Sarah and Rheanna are amazing, they don’t get any better than these two! They’re friendly, treat you like they’ve known you for years, professional and know their business. Most would say they do this for the tips, they don’t. They do it because that’s just who they are, just friendly and sweet. Joe is also one hell of a guy! Everybody on the staff makes time for you. The moment you walk in, they greet you by name. They have an incredible staff, that’s what keeps you coming back. Thank you all for making this place a great spot to sit down and enjoy a night out, whether a date night, a guys night out or even just a solo night to grab a drink and a cigar! Rheanna, Sarah and Joe will keep you coming back. I would rate DCs staff a 6 out of 5. Thank you for making this a comfortable and fun escape from everyday life!“

“I attended a bridal shower here. The venue was beautiful and clean. The food was excellent. The chef even came out to talk with people who had dietary restrictions and prepared them dishes they could eat using the ingredients he was using for the main menu. It was above and beyond, and I'm sure it was appreciated. Thank you for a beautiful event.“

“Great place to hangout with friends or just grab a beer by yourself. Beers are well priced and their food is top notch.“

“We live nearby but had never visited MacKenzie Tavern until recently. Glad we did! The food is quite good, especially when Yamin is in the kitchen. Pasta dishes are always on point. Good gyro, too. Domestic beer prices are among the best I can find. I've seen some reviews that describe the place as "a bit of a dive." And your point is? It's nothing fancy but neither am I. Try it. You'll like it.“

“We stopped in after a football game. We are not from the area but found this gem of a place. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our server was
Bonny with a "y" cause she's Irish and was the absolute best. We had appetizers and a few beers. The food was great ..best fried pickle chips we have ever had and the egg rolls as well as the cheese curds. We will go back when we are on that side of town.“

“MBTB is a local treasure! The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for a date night, friends getting together, or even stopping in by yourself! They have something for everyone and the service has always been amazing. I love the commitment to Michigan products from the wine to the snacks all the way to the merchandise. They also offer so many fun events and classes and put a lot of thought and creativity into everything they do! I have been to all of the locations and each one is wonderful. Cheers!“

“Great Burger and great Bloody Mary“

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

“Dinner last week was great! Our waitress Annabelle was fantastic! Place was busy, but she gave great individual attention and fast drinks ❤️ we will be back!“

“Lakeville Station is our go to place! The food is always on point, their staff is super friendly and their drinks... especially today made me feel like I was on an island. Tropical and on point (Mango coconut punch qnd the coconut martini was so refreshing) Love them forget 5 stars... I give the <3 <3 <3 <3 <3“

“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!“

“Best spot in Sterling Heights! Owner is amazing and the people are the kindest around“

“Stopped in and got the calzone..it was great and my husband and I shared it. It was stuffed with pepperoni and cheese...it was yum“

Our food was really good and drinks were made perfectly, The atmosphere was good and overall experience was great and we will definitely be returning. Thank you Dana !!!“

“Always consistently good beer, food, and service. We stop in whenever we're in town.“

“Ignore "Jazz" who should know that restrooms are for patrons and Chrissy who obviously doesn't know Mexican food. I've been in Mexico, have Mexican friends, and eat in Mexican restaurants at least 4 times a month. You will NOT find better than Aztecas in Macomb County. This place is even better than the establishments in Mexican town Detroit.“

“First time visiting, was in the area for a doctor's appointment and it sounded yummy. I ordered a Build Your Own Pizza, a variation of a BBQ Chicken Pizza. Was ready when I arrived & it was DELICIOUS! Beautifully done.“

“We hosted a local women-owned business meetup at Younger's yesterday, and they went above and beyond! The service was incredible, the food and drinks were perfect, and they made it so easy for our group of 20 to feel welcomed and taken care of. As a fellow downtown Romeo business owner, I truly appreciate the way they support community and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back, thank you again to the amazing team at Younger's!“
