“Came here for a quick dinner with some of my girlfriends after my wedding dress fitting, and it was the perfect spot. The lobster bisque was absolutely delicious, and the menu offered plenty of variety with lots of great options to choose from. We each tried different chef selections, and everyone loved both their food and drinks. I especially appreciated the thoughtful mocktail menu for anyone not drinking but still wanting something special. The service was friendly and very attentive, which made the experience even better. I would definitely go back!“

“Came in today with my family and received amazing service from Rosie. We don’t get many opportunities to get out as a family as my wife is a full time nurse and I am an equipment manager in the logging industry. The food was delicious and the music was perfect. Rosie made us feel like we were family, and was very attentive to our needs throughout the night. Will definitely bring the family here again!“

I needed a piece of gum because I ate onions so the waitress Mackenzie went and brought me some. Thank you so much. We will be back. 🙂“

“I came in expecting the usual dive bar scene — sticky floors, cheap beer, neon signs buzzing in the corner. Instead, Rachael and Amy treated me like I had just bought the place. I ordered a regular draft and somehow it felt like they had tapped a keg exclusively in my honor.

Halfway through my second beer, Rachael joked about “opening a tab,” but what really happened is Amy slid me a crisp stack of bills and told me not to worry about it — like the bar itself was sponsoring me. By closing time, when most people were stumbling toward their Ubers, they casually mentioned my private helicopter was waiting out back behind the dumpsters. They then flew me across Italy.

If you want five-star luxury while drinking a $3 domestic, this is the only bar on earth where that’s possible. Dive bar? Maybe. But with Rachael and Amy behind the counter, it feels like Buckingham Palace with better beer.“

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

“Mackenzie's Tavern is a wonderful local drinking and dining experience with something for everyone. The owner and staff are very friendly and efficient in their service. The tavern has a very extensive seafood menu towards the end of the week like Thursday and Friday and sometimes Wednesdays. The rest of the time the tavern has a very good bar food type menu featuring Burger or some such. The only day that the kitchen is not open is Sundays when you can bring in your own food or have it delivered. The tavern has a breakfast service that goes from opening till around lunch time and the omelettes are huge and fill you up. You can watch most local sports there and the tavern features an 85-in TV that is surprisingly large for the size of the tavern.“

“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“

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

“We love O’Grizzly’s. When Hoops closed, we needed to find a new favorite spot. We found it! Cold drinks, great service and delicious food. It’s our go to spot.“

“Our table was just to the left of the entrance. We were very impressed by the service first and foremost. Her attention to the details were very much appreciated. The food was excellent. We were first timers today. And greatly appreciate the hospitality. We will return. Thank you“

“Not gonna lie... kinda felt wrong drinking amazing beer in a McDonald's play place... j/j kinda. Our server, didn't catch her name was awesome, not a single complaint and nothing but anything positive to say about her. We dined in on 7/11/26 and were led to a section where there was a group made primarily of kids (def out#ed kids to adults or seemed that way) which seems odd for a brewery, yes grif makes amazing food and they dont want to exclude anyone from enjoying theyre amazing brew and food but like dang... as a parent maybe rethink where you're taking your kids. I really would rather not hear your velocorapters screeching as they run around yer tables as you speak of nothing of importance... thats kinda mean and I meant it... not deleting it.

Our server was awesome, sorry I dont remember her name, brunette with ponytail. Prolly not gonna help. She was awesome. Helped source a fifth of the flying buffalo bourbon and a thing of doppel gangger. Again everything was awesome, truf burger was cooked to med like a pro. Flavor was outstanding. Staff outstanding. Great experience.

Stop bringing your kids to an adult evening getaway“

“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“

“Love the live music with Tony!“

“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.“

“We had a team building and dinner event for 14 colleagues at the Hub Stadium Auburn Hills. We had a great time. The buffet food was great, our server John was awesome, and the games were a lot of fun. Gracee helped me plan this event, she was very knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating. Great staff and location!“

“Friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and servers were excellent. Their cookies are worth the wait; hot and fresh from the oven! We enjoyed it so much, we went twice while we were in town for vacation.“

“I've not experienced service on this level in a long long time!! Three of us in my party and everyone had a great experience with both the food and the service... TOP NOTCH!! The salmon was cooked to perfection as was the steak shrimp asparagus and the soup!! Thank you our waiter... Terrific and the gentleman that visited our table several times owner or manager? Great too!! Thank you for a great night out!! We will be back soon!!! D. M. B. N frens!!“

“A wonderful restaurant that we have been enjoying for 8+ years now. We live a bit up north so don’t have the chance to visit as often as we’d like… The atmosphere is Top Notch. Very relaxing, great mood lighting and the decorations are great to take in. We’ve never been disappointed with our food or our service. The manager is a warm and friendly fellow and all the staff are quick to help or offer assistance. Derek the Bar tender did a great job of attending to us and make sure we were comfortable. If you’re in a “rush” this may not be the best place to stop in. The wait for a great meal is not bad at all, but you won’t get fast food or Coney Island fast… and the quality food is way above. I highly recommend stepping out and giving this place a try!“

“My wife and I went there as a birthday present from our grandson . Our server was a young lady named Albrey she was very pleasant and did a fantastic job. The food very good .“

“Everything about our experience was phenomenal!! We brought our 88 year old mother out for a birthday lunch and she loved the place. We were a party of 6 and the restaurant was more than accommodating. Our service was extremely exceptional...Rebecca was so great she timed out the food and course perfectly.our glasses were always full and she brought out a complementary dessert with a candle that was much appreciated..thank you Rebecca for making our time so lovely!!!“

“Our dinner was amazing! We got there kind of late and Marija still gave us amazing service. We appreciate it & will be back!“

“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!“

“Best Chili anywhere, in season. I líke the cozy size of this place and there are enough nice people in winter to keep each other warm. I miss the place much.“

“Good atmosphere, great food and awesome bartenders“

“Excellent service all around and delicious food!“

“Booked a show here and did EVERYTHING required just to have my spot given to someone who didn't do EVERYTHING required... Was told I'd get a discount for different dates, picked the date just to be told basically the same thing again... I kept my word and she didn't... Won't be doing ANY business with them...“

“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.“

“I’ve never had authentic Cajun food in all my 43 years of existence until today. This food is SO GOOD that it was almost a religious experience. The gumbo is freaking FIRE. flavorful. Well seasoned. Perfectly cooked. They have the most delicious coleslaw I ever had and the grand finale is the Cajun angel pasta. Great portion size. Perfectly prepared. And they don’t skimp on the protein. It was all very well packaged and the best part is that it’s budget friendly when it comes to pricing. I was so in love with this food when I tasted it that I actually almost cried. My hat is off to the staff and the chefs. If you should ever close it will be a travesty. It’s like getting a taste of the N’Orleans life right here in Michigan. TAKE. MY. MONEY. (Sorry y'all I ate the gumbo and forgot to take a photo lol )“

“Company Holiday Party!! Food is always fantastic, and drink service for SO many people in the back room was amazing as always.“

“The Locker Room Saloon will always hold a special place in our hearts—my husband and I actually met here back in 2018, and we’ve been locals ever since! We love coming here for a fun night out. The atmosphere is incredible—you can even stand on the bar stools and drum with drumsticks, which is such a blast. The drinks are great, the staff is always fun, and the music makes it the perfect party spot. Fargus, the DJ, is awesome—he always takes requests and keeps the vibe going with the best music. A huge shoutout to Liz and her husband, the owners, who are so accommodating and truly make us feel like family every time we walk in. This is one of our absolute favorite local spots, and we highly recommend it if you’re looking for a lively, fun night out!“

“Great meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

“Visited X-Golf for the first time on November 20th with my husband and son. Had a great time! Jesse, the bartender/waiter/desk person, was beyond friendly and helpful!! Will definitely be returning!“
