Restaurants in Royal Oak

“Nixie and Matt were a joy! We came in and Nixie was great, she let us move seats away from the door and was very attentive. The bad habit and chicken bacon ranch were our favorites. Matt suggested we try the bad habit with brisket and it was sooo good! 10/10”

“Everything was AMAZING! We shared spring rolls, chicken pad Thai & chicken drunken noodles! Highly recommend”

“Our favorite restaurant when we come to Royal Oak! Great food without breaking the bank for a date night.”

“Had a great experience at this restaurant! The staff was friendly and professional, especially Katrina—she was kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The food was fresh, tasty, and well-prese”

“The food there was so delicious! And the best part is, the employees are SO nice and friendly!!”

“We love iFreeze! We took our daughter who has Celiac Disease. They have items marked as gluten free on the menu. She had the S’mores ice cream and loved it. They were very knowledgeable about Celiac and cleaned the machines before use. They keep all GF items separated as well. It’s so important to us to have safe places for our daughter to eat and have dessert. Would recommend iFreeze to anyone!”

“Tried for the 1st time last night. The pizzas and cheese bread tasted great. The only negative thing I have to say is that the crust is hard, but nothing was burnt. Tried the normal crust, GF crust, and the cheese bread. All 3 had hard crust.”

“Incredible meal, fabulous coffee, and great company. 👍”

“the food was delicious,and the customer service was awesome I WILL BE BACK ❣️❣️”

“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.”

“12 burger joints in one day. We ranked them all and Comet was at the top overall. I was just taking bites at the last 3 but we did it. 140 miles. Was it a ton of fun? Yes! Will we remember this forever? Yep! Would I do 12 in 1 day again? No flipping way 🤣”

“the food is amazing! service is great and love the atmosphere. the owner is so sweet and takes pride in work and making every experience wonderful for her customers.”

“It was my first time there and not my last !! It’s a delightful, cozy, friendly feeling establishment, everyone working there is an attribute to the business! 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!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Was not disappointed. Food was good.”

“Beppé is in the rotation for restaurants frequented. Always a solid menu. Great food portions. Great cocktails. In the summer, it's nice to sit out on their patio and pass a couple hours.”

“Great place! Paul made us some of his delicious cocktails, and the meatballs were on point. Very creative menu.”

“I had the Monte Carlo. the first time being here it definitely will not be the last. I absolutely loved the sandwich. Curly fries were perfect too. Looking forward to coming back. The photo I took when I was almost done eating highly recommend this place”

“5 stars for Tyrie! He was bartending and helping the servers and was so pleasant while under pressure. He does an amazing job and I will be requesting him on my next visit. The food was delicious, my favorite was the gyoza appetizer. Can’t wait to try more.”

“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 had a wonderful dinner experience. The waiter was a delight right from the beginning. We were 5 women who wanted separate bills and he happily accommodated us. The food was excellent, as always. We love that you have your own parking lot!”

“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.”

“There were a lot of things I loved about this place. First off, I love a good grill & bar when I see one. The server we got (I didn't catch his name) was super nice and friendly. He was eccentric in a way that he cracked jokes with my party. The dirty soda options offer some fun flavors. I got the tropical Red Bull dirty soda (I don't remember what else it had), and it tasted incredible

I had the fan-favorite Rodeo Burger, and I can see why it's a fan-favorite. The burger was so flavorful and juicy. It also comes with a cheese sauce that was so heavenly. The truffle fries were unbelievable. They had such a great flavor to them that I couldn't get enough!

I heard good things about this place before, and it did not disappoint. I truly recommend checking this restaurant out, even if it's just for lunch”

“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!”

“Great service and food!👍🏻🍻”

“Everything is fresh cooked to order very healthy, reasonable prices open Late .”

“I won't every go anywhere else. It's amazing and cheap and great customer service.”

“I’ve been trying a lot of different sushi spots around town, and as soon as I tried Bahdah, it was an instant favorite!”

“Micah was SUPER sweet and polite! A simple “kind person” with a smile can turn someone’s rotten day around. Micah didn’t realize she did that for us, just by being genuinely polite. :-)”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had!”

“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 tried you for the first time tonight at Arts Beats and Eats. was so good! refreshing, flavors were amazing and crunch of toppings were perfect pair. Will visit you again soon and bring the kids!”

“Took a whole group of students there today. One girl alone, but cheerful and helpful and served everyone with a smile. Clean, old-style ice cream parlor. Would definitely recommend!”

“Excellent atmosphere, tons of fresh beer taps and fun table games. Everyone is so friendly and great vibes all the around. Highly recommend!”

“Baker, listen… that pumpkin cheesecake was insane. Like oh my god, I don’t even want dessert from anywhere else now. Can we talk about cream on top? Perfect. The cheesecake itself? Unreal. I’m not kidding when I say I’ll be thinking about it every single day. If you ever want to share that recipe Im ready to be your best friend. 🎃🍰😂”

“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! 🍻”

“They're burgers are amazing, my favorite place to eat when I'm in Saint Clair Shores.”

“definitely would recommend to go there”

“One of my favorite spots for coffee I wish they had gluten free options! All in all 5 stars”

“I drink most coffee black. It was hot, just brewed, and smooth. I recommend. Raspberry Torte had balanced sweetness, proper crumb, just enough fluff and moisture. Donya is a kind conversationalist.”

“first time participating in drag queen bingo- Soo much fun! A room full of love, joy, laughter, and happiness! thank you queens for being a ray of sunshine in this world”

“Such a great hole in the wall ice cream shop, they have the best ice cream and at such good prices!!”

“Cool idea, great beer selection. Website is nearly unusable, needs major improvement.”

“Awesome donuts! LOOOOOOVE the cherry chip, but they are usually only available on weekends. Great prices and variety. Owners are great! I drive about 15 minutes just to get these donuts. Go. Now. Buy early. They sell out of popular donuts by late morning.”

“DON’T ORDER ONLINE! CALL INSTEAD!
Prices through the online apps are inflated (even if you pick up yourself). Call and place the order for less. Menu pictures accurate as of 4/13/25. They really need to have a website with or link to the in-store/call-in menu pricing.”

“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!!”

“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 ❤️👏”

“Excellent every single time. I'm a regular.”

“Had the pleasure of trying their bowls and smoothies at Sunset at the Zoo this weekend. Absolutely amazing. I had to go online and find where they are next so I can get another bowl. Yummy!!”

“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.”

“Finally a good Chinese restaurant in Royal Oak! Food was AMAZING, short wait time, lady at the cash register was super sweet. Would definitely recommend!”

“Amazing ice cream!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Very polite staff. Easy to maneuver (I'm in a wheelchair). GREAT service overall.”

“Great ramen and sides are served with a side of retro-sci-fi whimsy in this robot themed ramen joint!”

“This place is absolutely amazing! The food 10/10 I got a ceaser sandwich on sourdough and all I can say is wow! And the customer service is 20/10! The lady was so kind. I came all the way from Sterling Heights I’ll definitely be back.”

“Great good… friendly, helpful staff!”

“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.”

“Been here a couple of times. Place is usually busy so expect a wait. I’ve eaten each of their Skillet Hash options, Market and Farmhouse, and both are good. Overall a nice place to eat breakfast.”

“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 !”

“Love Joe so much, he makes great food, great customer service, what a happy guy. Makes the environment great. Thank you Joe. Sean is incredible as well, Love them both. Made our experience so fun!!!!”

“Everyone is always super friendly and provides fast services. I also love the atmosphere it's very welcoming. I've been meaning to share this delicious salad, it was full of delicious nutrients, and had a kick to it. 😋😋”

“Quality and great price for sandwiches and salads!”

“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”

“Great food great price James and I love it”

“Dublin Donkey drink was awesome.”

“Tasty authentic coney island hot dogs! Just like I remember 😋”

“Great food. Owners are super friendly. Will definitely go back”

“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!!”

“The folks there are just naturally kind! More importantly, the food is fresh and delicious! It's just a little hidden spot, but if you like Mediterranean food, you really need to stop in! The Falafel pita is excellent, as well as the chicken shawarma bowl! 👍👍”

“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!!”

“Friendly staff, consistently great pizza, and I love that they have a salad that I actually want to eat. Plus the wildflowers bordering the parking lot in the summer are just the best!”

“The creme brulee French toast was fantastic. Everything was good. We even received the chocolate covered strawberries at the end.”

“This place has great coffee and an awesome vibe. Everyone that works here is great as well. The only thing is that lately they’ve been playing a lot of Arabic music, which kind of makes it feel more like a Middle Eastern restaurant and makes it a bit hard to focus on my work.”

“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”

“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.”

“Loved the custard great service and employees!”

“This place has been our favorite for years. The soups are amazing— both are. Whenever my brother is in town, he goes through quarts of the chicken lemon rice. The pita is grilled there and delicious. My favorite is the tomato lentil (vegan too). Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Ordered Monty Cristo (ham, melted swiss between french toast) for delivery...yummm! Fresh Fast kudos to the Cook! (And Uber Eats)”

“Came in today very friendly staff, very helpful safe and totally worth the $25 the cookies taste like childhood like something from my childhood and flooded me full of memories and made me feel happy would definitely come back again!”

“Nixie and Matt were a joy! We came in and Nixie was great, she let us move seats away from the door and was very attentive. The bad habit and chicken bacon ranch were our favorites. Matt suggested we try the bad habit with brisket and it was sooo good! 10/10”

“As of recently there have been these 2 white skin colored Arabic guys there. Until I gave these new cooks a shot I have been forced to go to the Leo’s in Birmingham, because even the buy one get one uber eats deal is not worth it if the previous cooker had a strong 90% of giving me food poisoning. Always got sick once I ordered and the previous cooks were working. I don’t know if the owner reads his reviews but please I beg of you do not allow this new cook leave this location is of walking distance from my house, it’s now once again the best place to get food again, if your hungry guys and stop by the royal oak Leo’s and you see a younger handsome white skin colored Arabic guy, you must try his food 3rd time I grab my Philly steak from him all 3 times cooked to perfection cheese is not over melted and the bottom of meat is not burned. I refuse to order food from here unless I personally see one of the two new cooks working. If your like me and have lived next door for 5 years and avoided it for the last 4, I promise if you order when these new cooks are working you will become addicted and fall in love all over again 😍☺️”

“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.

“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!!!”

“Been here a couple of times. Place is usually busy so expect a wait. I’ve eaten each of their Skillet Hash options, Market and Farmhouse, and both are good. Overall a nice place to eat breakfast.”

“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.”

“My wife and I where on a date night and stopped in here for dessert. Walking in was like walking into one of Wonkas magic places full of baked sweets. I got a handful of things cause I couldn't make up my mind.”

“Took a whole group of students there today. One girl alone, but cheerful and helpful and served everyone with a smile. Clean, old-style ice cream parlor. Would definitely recommend!”

“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”

“God : The location is drive ( God ) through only, but very cool, timely with great quality! The staff was courteous as well as professional. ( God ) Would definitely eat here another time! : God”
