New American Restaurants near Rochester, MI

“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.“

“I hosted my daughter’s baby shower there this past Saturday. From start to finish they were very accommodating. The food was delicious and the service was great. A big thank you to “Leonna” the event coordinator that I dealt with throughout. She also served the day of the shower and was very “on top” of everything. Leonna even designed a menu that resembled the baby shower invitation and placed it at every seat to allow our guests to know what lunch courses would be served.
My husband and I have celebrated various birthdays and anniversaries here but this was my first time hosting an event. I highly recommend the Rochester Chop House.“

“Went to Rochester Bistro last weekend, taking clients as our guests. The entire staff did a wonderful job, food was outstanding, attention to detail. Overall an excellent experience. Thanks so much for making our evening special!! We will be back.“

“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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!“

“Last night my family and myself went to Grand Tavern for supper after a long day. Our waiter Xhorxh was absolutely amazing! Personally, I have dietary restrictions and explained to him that I am unable to have gluten, dairy, or egg. I had already pre-creeped the menu before arriving so I could find a meal that would be easy to hopefully adapt to my dietary restrictions. After explaining my restrictions Xhorxh was ON IT! He immediately spoke to the chef and the chef adapted my meal to my restrictions. Xhorxh did tell me that there could be a possible cross contamination with gluten on one of my sides and explained that they couldn’t guarantee that that one thing would be gluten free. Listen, not very often in the service industry do you come across a wait staff member or chef that made sure to cross all of the boxes. I ordered brussel sprouts as the appetizer without the cheese (I could have had three plates of that it was so good) and the cedar plank salmon and ordered two veggies as my side. IT was DELISH!!!!! Xhorxh also made sure that our drinks were constantly filled and took amazing care of our family. My MIL even made a comment after we received our meals how she really liked him as a waiter. I wished we had a Grand Tavern where we lived but unfortunately we are 8 hours away but we will absolutely be back when visiting family! ❤️“

“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.“

“We were outside, so did get some road noise—still, to enjoy nice weather—worth it! Brie was an incredible server and her timing was seamless for two friends who needed time to catch up... plus, her smile made our day. P.S. I ALWAYS love the food!“

“Ordered a carry out for my wife that just had surgery! She also has a gluten and egg allergy, the staff was very helpful in determining the food was free of these allergens. BTW, the chicken fettuccine Alfredo was awesome and the noodles were some of the best we have had!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly selections“

“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!“

“We enjoyed our time at the HUB. We went for a small birthday party and did the golfing simulator and bombowling. The golf simulator is not TopGolf so I’m not sure why it’s labeled as such… we had several issues with the simulator and no one knew enough about it to assist. The bombowling was fun, but at $100/hr for the lane, it’s a bit steep. We were able to get a few games in with 6 people but once it gets crowded it can be problematic with footballs flying and bouncing everywhere. Overall, I’d come back with a larger group so you can split costs evenly. Prices can start to get higher if it’s less than 4 people.“

“best food ever And a distinguished staff👍👍“

“Great meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

“The food was exceptional. We ended up doing a lot of shareable items. I think the winner was the grilled asparagus, and the Mediterranean salad was off the hook. The Ahi tuna tartare needed more seasoning. The pizza was delicious. I highly recommend this location. Everything was wonderful about it, including the server who moved us to an appropriate size table to enjoy our food.“

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

“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!!!“

“As always, Stoney River Steakhouse did not disappoint! The food, ambience , and service were excellent! What a great place to celebrate my birthday with friends! Even the location is convenient!!

The professionalism of our server, Angela, was superior. The staff, managed by Michelle, was professional and courteous! Whether you choose to order seafood or one of the delicious meat entrees, you’ll be so pleased!!!

I highly recommend Stoney River Steakhouse.

Parking: There are about 20 parking spots, that are very close to the front of the restaurant, as well as the option of valet parking (most evenings). The “overflow” spots are conveniently located and nearby, as well.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap spots up front and valet parking available most evenings. The doorways and pathways in the restaurant are ample to accommodate a wheelchair or walker.“

“We LOVED the Reuben eggs rolls. My husband and I shared them and it was filling enough to be a meal for us. We each had a happy hour drink and so for the two of us, our total bill was $22. Not bad! We also got to sit outside by the “waterfall”. Bitter Tom’s is a great local restaurant.“

“We held our private event in the enclosed patio at Firebird in Troy. The patio was heated and decorated to look like a lodge. All of our guests felt like they were in a homey environment. The food and the service was impeccable. Our guests were so pleased at the attention to detail and the promptness of the serving staff. The event manager, Jenna, made the entire planning process easy and stress free. She helped us set up our buffet menu and was there day of assisting in decorating and making sure everything was in order. I would highly recommend hosting a private event here and plan to do so myself for future events!“

“This place has a rooftop section. It was very calm and peaceful, and you could feel the breeze. The service was extremely fast and the prices are fair. Totally worth it.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“Our Walleye dinners were delicious last night. I had the encrusted on the menu and my husband had the special. Both were exceptional!“

“Our server Staci was great. She made our time there great and we will ask for her on our next visit. Loved the shrimp tacos.“

“Their selection is top notch, alan and his crew know their stuff as well. Went in looking for a new bottle for the home bar, wasn't sure what I wanted because their selection is massive. Alan asked what I liked, what my price was and recommended a bottle that I loved. Bonus points for their hot foods as well. Amazing pizza and bread at a great price.“

“My family has eaten here several times. Service has always been exceptional. You came to my rescue when our Thanksgiving plans fell through and my out of town guests needed a place to have dinner. 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.“

“The lady who said the pita was dry clearly didn’t know what she was talking about. This place slaps. Always consistent, always good. Service feels like home, and the food hits every time. Sad the clam chowder’s wasn’t that great, but the OP pita and coney dog were both solid. $25 for lunch isn’t bad at all. Get there before 11am for the good deals.“

“An attentive and friendly staff, premium cocktails, great food and a lovely atmosphere can all be found at The Birmingham Pub!“

“Hi The food was awesome and the waiter Josh was exceptional.“

And this was on a busy Sunday morning! Portions are generous. Service was top notch. Very clean. Definitely coming back, no question.“

“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!“

“Great staff. Good eats. Timely service. Just an all around nice place to grab breakfast, lunch, or an early dinner. Daily specials at a good price. Family owned since day one.“

“We just left from my engagement party and I couldn’t even wait to leave a review because it was so phenomenal. Chris, his kitchen crew, Nikki the manager and John our server went above and beyond today with an unforgettable experience for me, my fiancé and our family to celebrate our engagement. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for these amazing and incredible individuals. Our food was absolutely delicious and so flavorful, drinks were on spot and their hospitality was excellent. We had chicken, pasta salad, Mac and cheese, pretzel bites and meatballs I recommend every single one of these items. PHENOMENAL. There was never a moment they were not around if we needed anything and were so quick to return. (VERY attentive) This was all of our first times here and we will definitely be coming back for regular lunch or dinner service or for future events. Thank you CK Diggs Staff for an unforgettable night!!!! 100/10!!“

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

“Very fancy and expensive restaurant. One of the few restaurants in metro Detroit (and likely the whole of Michigan) that serves Baked Alaska. They do not flame it in front of you nor does it come with sparklers like some restaurants may do. Still it was delicious. Jamie was a great waitress, friendly and in a good mood. There is no parking lot for Forrest, however after 5:30 pm and on weekends you can use the AAA Birmingham parking lot which is right next door. Very nice interior. The water glasses are small. There is a candle at the table.“

“Amazing experience. Our new place & it's super cozy❤❤❤“

“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.“

“Luna was an excellent waitress. Very polite and on task with delivery. I watched the quality and service of most of the servers. All appeared to be on task and on time with meals. I'd definitely recommend this establishment to others!“
