“Maybe I was just super hungry, but that Hawaiian roll may have been the best sushi I’ve eaten, and that kimchi rice?!?! To die for!! Plus, the service was outstanding. We’ll be back.”
“We were instantly greeted and seated. Our server Robby was awesome. The entire staff was friendly. Chef Johnny is very talented and friendly. I love that he greets all guest and will even bring your food out himself. For starters we had the shrimp and crab cakes. They were crispy on the outside and melted in your mouth. The surprise with these was that there was whole shrimp inside. We loved it. The sauce on top was just the right amount. The salmon with saffron rice, coconut curry sauce and green apple slaw was the best salmon I've had in a while. The pairing was new for me but it worked. The salmon was juicy and perfectly cooked. When paired with everything on my plate it was like fireworks. Everything popped and was amazing. My husband had the beef strudel. Now he was thinking it was gonna be like a beef wellington but no. When he put his fork into the perfectly crispy flaky crust and into the most tender beef either of us have ever had, OMG. With the first bite all he could do was say "WOW"(sorry about how loud he was). The flavors of that plate were incredible. The blueberry cheesecake was the icing on the cake. It was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet and the smear of lemon sauce on the side elevated the flavors. The drinks. I had the rainforest and my husband had the Johnny Manhattan. When we saw how small the glasses were we were definitely worried. That feeling quickly faded with the first sip. The drinks may be small but they are strong and delicious. We had to pace ourselves with those. Overall, I give this place a 10/10 and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you to everyone there for a great time and for great service.”
“Sure I’m biased as a lifetime mug club member, but don’t sleep on Lily’s!!! From the always available standards to the seasonal releases, everything is always on point and to style. Favorites include the pils, dortmunder, California common and marzen. Happy hour is also great — I’m not a seafood person but have plenty of other great options. Prost! 🍻”
“First time at beppé, and won't be our last. Made reservations for my wife's birthday, and they paid attention in the slickest ways. We were greeted warmly, they wished my wife happy birthday, and the entire experience only got better. Our server, Mikaela was outstanding—read the room like a pro, had perfect timing/pacing, was so kind and graceful—nailed it from cocktails to dessert. Everything that hit out table (cocktails, apps, entrées, and a sweet birthday desert delivered by the chef) was impressive. 10/10 from the moment we walked in the door until a sincere goodbye when we left. Simply, it was a perfect dining experience, and I don't say that loosely. Would absolutely recommend, zero hesitation.”

And the owner is an amazing young women who treats you as if she has known , I so recommend visiting but beware it will be your new favorite place !!!”
“We stopped in today for late lunch. So glad we did!!! The food was absolutely delicious!!! I had the zoodle pasta salad! It was the best! Everything was fresh and flavorful. My husband had the superfood bowl. I’m looking forward to make the trip that way again real soon!!”
“The vibe of the building is really cool. Welcoming. The staff is all about customer service. From the moment I walked in the door, I was taken care of. I was greeted by two employees and immediately given a menu. I asked the young man (Mo I think was his name) what he recommended and he suggested build a burger. Good choice! I had a classic burger with Cajun fries and a Mt.Dew. The fries were crispy and hot, seasoned to perfection. The burger was hand patted and very tasty. They told me the only use fresh not frozen beef and all ingredients are locally sourced. If I had a compliant at all it would be the door to the restroom. Like many places, it was really heavy and difficult to open. You see, I'm handicapped and in a wheelchair. It was difficult getting in and out of the restroom. But wait... Here comes the staff. They pushed me to my table, offered to move the table in order to make things easier for me, helped me out of the door and into the Uber when I left. I really felt special. Hell, even if the food sucked I'd go back for the service”
“I had 5 broken teeth and 2 large abscesses and couldn't eat much of anything but was starving. I was looking for something soft to gum. Thinking tamales or beans and cheese. Of the options the flour tortilla beef birria seemed to be the best fit. I ordered those, a side of beans and, a side of consomme. Was amazing. Just on the edge of what I can tolerate heat wise (I am a wimp). Great taste. I used the consomme to make birria ramen for a later meal. (Just beef ramen, 2 sticks string cheese, and the consomme). It was also great, very satisfying.”
“We went for the first time last night, and we absolutely loved it! We could not stop talking about how good the food tasted! We will definitely be back ❤️👏”
“Super friendly service, food had an amazing temperature and super tasty. I must say that they marinated chicken was juicy and delicious.”
“We started with happy hour. Where all cocktails were $7 and appetizers were half off. The drinks were fantastic, and the steak tips and chicken peppers were tender and flavorful. We split the steak mac & cheese, which was unbelievable. We will definitely eat here again.”

“Our server Brianna was the best! We had two tables so the little kids could feel like big kids since we were celebrating an 11th bday. She served their booth (3 kids) and our table (3 moms) and was very attentive going between the two. The food was really good too. We had a great dining experience because of Brianna!”
“we came in yesterday for a little family dinner. Danny, our server, was newly back to work at Pronto and I've never seen a server work so hard to accommodate people and ensure we were well cared for. the entire staff and clientele were so kind and encouraging. I spent most of the meal examining the lighting fixtures (there are so many!!!), and our family searched for disco balls (also SO MANY!). The food was amazing and the service was fast. we took our 14 year old there for dinner because they needed to see that there are safe, public spaces for them - and the awe and amazement in their eyes the whole time told me that we found our new "regular" spot. the music was fun, the service was spectacular, and the entire vibe was just lovely. and as a lighting nerd, they play with light beautifully, even during a routine dinner service. to the staff at Pronto - particularly Danny - thank you. as a mom trying to figure out how to best parent a child who isn't like me, you gave me immeasurable gifts last night. you gave my child hope for a future as an adult. we love the local youth programming available but it lacks a connection to adults who are thriving and living full, beautiful lives. seeing that in action was everything our kid needed and so much more. thank you.”

“We are here for our anniversary and both the food and the service were excellent! We were helped by Chloe and Charlie and they were quick and so sweet. We had the garlic bruschetta, carbonara and salmon which was more than enough to share. The pasta was so fresh and the salmon may have been my favorite salmon I’ve ever had. Because it was our anniversary they gave us a complimentary dessert and sent over a prosecco toast on the house! Really excellent place I can’t recommend it more!”
“Everything was first rate. Beer and food quality, service and ambience. A great variety of menu options and beer choices. They're happy to give you a free sample of a beer before you commit to a pint. The Earl Grey Red Ale was amazing. I'll be back!”
“Excellent service. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. The Sushi was spot on.”

“I made a mobile order about an hour ago and the guys working tonight did an excellent job! I had a chicken power bowl with a number of modifications and it turned out perfectly + the food is hot and fresh. They also filled the nacho cheese cups to an appropriate amount which I often find to be an issue. Great job to the crew working tonight!!!”
“Food was great, very authentic and fresh. Drinks were good too. Had a margarita and piña colada and the Michigan burrito. Great experience, highly recommend!”

“I had not been to a Beefcarver since I was a kid to the location on 8 mile. Stopped in today to the Woodward location. Food was good, the atmosphere is very nostalgic (I loved it), and the staff was amazing. The gentleman waiting on us was very friendly and very on top of things! We will be back.”
“At a recent family birthday celebration, I needed appetizers at the last minute. I went to the right people for help! It was no problem for Kal and Ann! They cheerfully made fresh batches of delicious hummus (two varieties) which came with chips and pita bread. I served that, along with two kinds of their fabulous soup, to my dinner guests. Everyone complimented the delicious food Kal and Ann prepared. If you haven’t tried KAL’s Lunch Bowl, located in the Royal Oak Farmers Market yet, I recommend it. You won’t be a “just another customer” ~~ You’ll be a FRIEND!”
“Best coffee shop downtown. Overpriced like the rest but the lovely service, atmosphere, and quality make it well worth it. I can no longer have coffee which makes cafes tricky but I have fallen in love with their Kerouac. Genuinely like one is sipping liquid heaven, perfect for an occasional splurge to treat myself!”

“ordered from door dash a couple of times and this will be my last. every time, there is something wrong with the order. today, half of the order was missing and packing was so careless that the driver showed up with a container full of food spilled in the bag. As for the food, it has never been great, just okay.”
“Had another great night out at Edo! Fantastic service every time! Brandy was our waitress this time and she was VERY attentive, helpful, kind, and gave us stellar service! I hope you treat your staff well! They are all amazing! Food is always good, consistent, and large portions! Will be back for the service alone but the food is a huge plus!”

“I love these meals! I am a member of Body By Brittany, and she sells these in her studio, and I am obsessed! When they’re stocked on Tuesdays, it’s a mad rush to the fridge for the mac n cheese buffalo chicken! 😂 The mac n cheese buffalo chicken, steak fajitas, and korean meatballs are my favorite! Highly recommend!!”
“Great Pad Thai curry! But! It was definitely missing some cilantro, lime, and the peanuts. I would've loved to have all that. The noodles were a bit overcooked, but nothing to be disappointed about. A bit on the greasy side for me, but not a big deal. Will still be back!”
“First time diner and it was a great experience. The Huevos Rancheros was fantastic. It had so many good ingredients, but the best was fresh Chorizo. You could be in Mexican Town. Also, the homemade chicken soup is just like Mom used to make. Staff was friendly and attentive. I will be back.”
“The perfect, laid back place to enjoy amazing food and delicious cocktails! I am obsessed with the pineapple mule, the make their own infused pineapple vodka. The live jazz on Thursdays is the perfect reason to make this a weekly visit!”
“Wonderfully quaint and charming little place! Food was excellent and so was the service! Highly recommend! Don't leave without trying the limoncello! 😋”

“Patti the cook! OMG! Saturday night, all by herself, no help what so ever! Our waitress said she COULD be behind because she’s on her own so our may take a little longer, we said no problem. That was not the case , we had our food in like 10 minutes! I sat at the bar and watched her do the job of about 3-4 people the rest of the night! She’s amazing! This woman deserves a raise for sure !”
“This review is for the Royal Oak Roast only. The road is full of as*holes , the world going to sh*t more and more. The people in charge care not at all and we are on a very possible path to doom. Why not stop in at Royal Oak Roast? It’s a comfy place with great people watching. The coffee is wonderful and refills are a dollar. So many different coffee choices in all styles, including espresso over over Weiss vanilla ice cream!!! The kitchen, yes I said kitchen has scrumptious food that is presented beautifully with the seasonal selections. All this sound good? Well that’s not even the best part. It’s the staff. It’s a varied collection of kind, hard working people that make you feel welcomed and are always working hard to get your order out to you. Leave the stress behind and relax here with friends and future friends. You will be glad you came”
“Update: New owners, but the same wonderful hospitality. It was a pleasure to meet Sam and Taylor at the latest Pick Up Party; they have great plans for MBTB! MBTB always makes us feel welcome. We're Sipper Club members and it's worth joining - special pricing, special events and early notification of our favorite wines from wineries throughout Michigan. Snacks are available to purchase, but we sometimes take our own meat, cheese and fruit tray with us to enjoy there with our wine. It's a great place to meet up with friends too.”
“This place is Very good! Had some of the best Broccoli &Cheese soup I've ever had! Their homemade in-house chips were fantastic. The Ruben was good but wasn't a fan of the sauerkraut, it was way too strong but the pickles were very good. The price was good and the food was very fresh. I will be back!!”
“Why are people sleeping on Tokyo Sushi?? We recently stumbled on this gem and can’t seem to stay away! Their sushi is fantastic, and the value is unbeatable. Run by the sweetest family who always makes us feel welcome. Can’t say enough about how great this restaurant is!!”
“My father and I went in today for the 5 year celebration and our server Tajma was amazing. She knew the beers like the back of her hand and we had a great conversation about local breweries and beers we are huge fans of! Keep up the great work. Also the wings were phenomenal honey sirracha delicious, and the platter had so much amazing stuff we had to take a lot home! We will be back.”
“Some of the best tacos we have had in Metro Detroit. Way better than Condado's. I would highly recommend, but would be apprehensive so there was always a spot ready for me. The staff was just as equally amazing too. Thank you. 10/10 all day!!”
“Cute little stop for quick food while at the hospital. A good variety of hot and cold foods. Everything I have tried is delicious. The staff is always friendly and kind.”
“We ended up stopping at this restaurant for a dine in at 1:00 pm. The employees there was very nice and respectful. The food (Chef's Burger and Fries) was delicious and fresh. It wasn't even busy on a Monday at 1:00 pm, but the atmosphere was positively good 😊. I will visit this location again 😊”

“You customer are something else, first off rather you want to deal with the reality or not ...we are unfortunately under staff as we constantly informed customers of that. Most of you are not concern about that, which is fine...but with that being said... something come up a little short at times. That coffee goes as quick as we put in n it take 5 minutes to make. Unfortunately some of us employees are doing more than one job at a time, but certain customers are just some nasty and not understanding about our situation. PANERA BREAD NO LONGER HAS DRIVER, yet u all don't pay attention to that at all n it's ridiculous. Also, customer u have your faults ... pandemic or not, half of u don't even wash your hands coming out the bathroom. The woman are so nasty it's a shame to go in there after you all, it matches your attitude! Stop coming in and leaning your nasty arms or coats on the corner where food is service, that's is so rude n disrespectful.. n for some reason you all think u have the right to enter a restaurant n act n be nasty. Get yourself together before you go out and eat n judge other people working in a difficult situation to continue to service the public”

“Our dining experience was fabulous! Great food, beautiful ambiance, friendly service! One small detail I noticed: the servers / wait staff are not crumbing the tables in between courses or before dessert. Small observation, however, did not take away from the experience. I thought I would mention it because crumbing is an added plus to the fine dining experience of first class service. All in all, we had a fabulous time and will return next month for my husband’s birthday.”

“Courtney made my morning. Best service I’ve had and always kept the coffee refills going. Also she is the best worker, constantly cleaning and going above and beyond. Hoping ownership sees this and gives her more compensation…watched her turn out 20 uber eats orders with a smile on her face. Thank you.”

“I have been going to Olga's for more than 20 years in downtown Birmingham, Troy at Oakland Mall, and now usually in Royal Oak. For years the spiral cut French fries have been my favorite fries at any fast casual chain. Yesterday I was at Royal Oak and the fries have changed for the worse. There is a new batter style and they were too salty. Please bring back the old fries!!!”
“I normally don’t leave reviews but I have to give a shoutout to a couple of waitresses there. Maria and Gloria H. My 12 year old son and I go there quite often for years now and we always get the best service when we end up with either of these waitresses. Always personable, kind, professional, and fast.”
“Our favorite restaurant when we come to Royal Oak! Great food without breaking the bank for a date night.”
