“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 ❤️👏”
“I loved the experience I had coming to Beppé! The restaurant is so cute, the service was timely, and the food was delicious! Try the seared cauliflower with the cashew butter sauce, it's amazing!”
“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.”
“Jen served us on Saturday on the patio & she killed it! Her customer service was nothing short of amazing. Her knowledge of the menu. Her description of the dish I wanted just made me melt. Everything tasted delicious. We didn’t feel rush at all. I Love her personality. Thank you for having us. We can’t wait to visit again.”

“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”

“Although I am not a member of the LGBTQ+ community , I visited here last weekend after frequenting five 15 ! I cannot express enough how refreshing it is was to be at a place where everyone was accepted , validated and safe! This country is a messed up place , but having a place that is welcoming and not to mention FUN will make a difference in someone’s life !”
“We went on Thursday for the Burger (3-6 pm) night. $9 for burger / fries and drink. The burger was a single patty but very thin. But the price was right. It would be a poor burger value at full price. Cosmik fries weee awesome as usual. The brownie dessert was great. Service was excellent by the bar tender aunt Royal oak. Bar Louie nearby on Main St has a huge burger on special on Tuesday nights.”

“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!”
“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!”

“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.”
“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.”
“DOC Royal Oak for me is the best option in the Royal Oak area for espresso-based drinks. The loungey seating is better than most places but the ambient music that is always running is a great reason to sit and enjoy a coffee. Excellent selection of tunes with a wide variety ranging from old school funk to modern chill. The roasted coffee selection for purchase rates very well. And the baristas are well-trained in pulling top-tier shots to go along with perfectly frothed milk for your cappuccino or macchiato (my go-to’s)”
“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 was hesitant about trying new restaurants because they always disappoint me but not this one! I can say hands down is the best I’ve been to. The enchiladas suizas are exactly like I know them from México. The coffee.. im not a coffee drinker well I had that one for sure! The service is extraordinary, super kind and attentive. Amazing place! Please don’t ever change!!”

“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!!”
“Great spot for meeting up with friends. Our waitress upcharged us for simple items without telling us. It was a group of about 15. I ordered nachos and asked to hold the onions and peppers. I told her I'd take extra olives instead. She charged me 50¢ 😳🤷🏽 We all noticed upcharges for simple items. We'll know next time. 😊”

“Great vegan deli meats with lots of options. They have times where they’re out of certain vegan options, but because they have so many you’re always guaranteed at least a few (if not a ton!) of choices. Have at least 3 vegan sides as well as chips! No spaces to sit inside so plan for this to be a takeaway spot.”
“WOW Mediterranean is undoubtedly one of the finest eateries in the Metro Detroit area. As a family-owned and operated establishment, it has become a beloved staple over the years. Every visit reaffirms its consistent excellence in both food and service. Kenny and Brian, in particular, always ensure a delightful experience with their outstanding hospitality and delicious Mediterranean cuisine.”
“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.”
“You like spicey??? THIS is your place to go.
My spouse loves to order extra hot all the time and never breaks a sweat. 5 minute our food he starts sweating. We both were able to clear our sinuses that night. Lol
On a serious note, food was great. Service as well.
Lots of ppl coming in or ordering, so dead give away on how good they are. Yet not too busy.”

“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.”

“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 !!!”
“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.”
“Really good! Prices were amazing definitely cheaper then anywhere else around there. I ordered an ice vanilla latte and it was ready in what felt like seconds! The cashier was kind the workers were kind! It was quiet and perfect! And definitely one of the better lattes I have had.”
“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”
“I arrived on an early Friday night. It was busy. I was seated and I didn’t get a menu until 15 minutes later. After I placed my order, it arrived fairly quickly. I ate the Firecracker roll and the Shoyu Ramen.
I personally don’t like sushi but the firecracker was AMAZING. I’m definitely coming back only for this dish.
Shoyu ramen was 1/10. Don’t bother.
The decor is pretty out dated. The place is wheelchair assessable. There is a parking garage right across this restaurant. There are a few parking spots outside but they were taken up at the time of visit.”
“I love going to Seven Sundays... just like the name, I feel like I'm taking my sabbath when I get that perfect Oat "Bomb" Draft Latte ~ my favorite!! No other coffee drinks come close to this! Added spice to this place that makes it the best for me is the extra friendliness and the service the staff provides! They need some raises!! Thank you for always greeting with smiles and I know sometimes it's hard but it helps brighten someone's day, as it brightens my day every visit!”
“Best sub place around! I'm sensitive to both gluten and dairy, but I would not consider myself highly sensitive since I don't have issues with cross contamination. That being said I have never had a problem after eating at this Tubby's. They have gluten free sub buns! Only sub shop I know that has them. And their website has an allergen chart so it's easy to figure out what you can and can't eat. At this location they always clean the grill and change gloves since they know I'm sensitive to dairy and gluten. The food is always good and it takes a little longer than fast food but is worth the couple extra minutes. Highly recommend eating here.”
“Super friendly service, food had an amazing temperature and super tasty. I must say that they marinated chicken was juicy and delicious.”
“Great ramen and sides are served with a side of retro-sci-fi whimsy in this robot themed ramen joint!”
“My server informed me at the very end of my meal that the restaurant has lied to customers for over a year about having gluten free carrot cake and they have just been feeding people with intolerances gluten containing cake. So disrespectful. I got glutened after I spent $200 on my meal and was assured I had chosen gluten free dishes and precautions were being taken. Like look, I get it. Food allergies are a pain in the *ss but if you can't accommodate people with them don't lie to your customers. There are lots of other places in the metro area who do take allergies and medical conditions seriously. Way to ruin my birthday. Im going to be sick for a whole week because I have Celiac Disease. Thanks a ton.”
“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.”

“This cookie was not a dessert — it was a spiritual experience.
The Tres Leches Cake Crumbl Cookie needs to be illegal in at least 17 states. One bite and I ascended to an emotional plane where I briefly forgave my enemies, remembered childhood birthdays, and questioned if I had ever truly tasted moisture before this moment.
The cookie itself? Buttery, soft, just the right level of dense.
The tres leches topping? Creamy, rich, thick without being cloying — like the center of a good hug or the first time someone sees your worth without you asking.
And when that milk-soaked texture hit my tongue?
I audibly said “Mmmmf GOD.”
In public.
I don’t know what type of Latina abuela Crumbl summoned for this recipe, but she worked overtime. And she deserves royalties.
If you get the chance — don’t share. Don’t save. Don’t even tell your friends.
This is one of those “buy two, eat one in the car, cry a little” cookies.
Five stars. Zero regrets. More leche please.”

“My husband and I took our two grandsons for breakfast. The food was fine but our server Maria was exceptional. She was attentive, friendly and professional. Maria is a gem!
Dietary restrictions: We had an egg allergy in our group and there were very limited options but that’s true wherever we go so not an exclusive issue to this restaurant.”
“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!!!”
“Our favorite restaurant when we come to Royal Oak! Great food without breaking the bank for a date night.”
