Restaurants in Royal Oak

“Just moved to the area, and this was my first dining experience. Condado definitely set the bar high. The food was great as was the service. Thanks Joel for an outstanding lunch. I'll be back!!”

“So good , the atmosphere is amazing and so is the food”

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

“I will cut to the chase, everything was a 10, and when I say everything, I mean it. We had a Tandoori chicken wing appetizer with grilled / seasoned onions and peppers. The chicken was so juicy and full of flavor. The veggies wereso good I was torn which part I liked more. We also had the sampler and the fried veggies were amazing, the somosa was perfectly seasoned, crisp, and right ratios of filling. We ordered Lamb Tikka Masala, Lamb Biryani, Chicken Kadai, and Chicken Tikka Masala. The owner asked us how hot we like it and even let us try the sauce prior, it wasn't needed, it was all perfect. I tried all 4, they were all amazing. If I was forced to pick just 2 things, the Kadai and the Biryani were so good I could eat them all the time. My son ate the entire Chicken Tikka Masala except for the 1 bite I stole. We had the garlic naan, bullet naan (jalepeno), and aloo naan (potato). The bullet naan disappeared so fast, all 3 were wonderful. We ended with the Mango Lassi and they were the perfect end of my meal. I will try the masala tea next time to end with! The service was easily the best I have ever had. Thank you Sam for being the best host, thank you to the cooks for a perfect meal, and I can't wait to return. My wife, son, and I now have a new favorite. My son loves his new uncle!”

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

“I swear it’s better every time! So so good.”

“Loved every part of it!! Customer service was fantastic -- Jordan was so professional, friendly, and helpful. Ice cream was delicious with so much variety. Lots of vegan options. The regular size is really big -- definitely big enough to share. We'll definitely be back!”

“I ordered the Tom yum soup and papaya salad. Tasted the same as when I first fell in love both dishes on my trip to Bangkok. Can’t wait to go back!”

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

“high quality pizza 100%, a must eat everytime i come to the D”

“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.”

“What a warm and inviting establishment to sit quietly and get some work done! This felt like the "Cheers" of coffee houses!”

“Staff was helpful and friendly, there was a chunk of taps that didn't have anything so there wasn't a huge selection of beer when we went, but a great spot to grab a beer or two! I'm not a fan of Detroit style pizza but the spicy meatball was very good, you could tell everything was quality ingredients. We will definitely come back!”

“Great food but I was missing a $20 cheeseburger in my order after picking it up and driving home. Didn't think to check like I normally do when your paying $60 for 2 cheeseburger meals u think everything would be in there”

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

“My friends and I enjoyed Sunday brunch. Our server Sarah was the absolute best! The food was yummy. We had the fried chicken sandwich, burger with fries, and tagliatelle pasta with lamb. We wished for more dessert options, the Tiramisu was just ok. The space is cozy with nice decor, I will definitely be back!”

“Had a wonderful Sweetest Day dinner at Alchemi. Our server was great. Checked in and topped off water when needed but gave us some space, which I appreciate. Drinks were good and priced fairly. We shared the Alchemi salad and the rib appetizer. The salad was fresh and full of different flavors. The ribs were cooked perfectly. We both loved our entrees. Chu Chee Salmon had all my wife's favorite flavor profiles. My Waygu Beef Strudel melted in my mouth but had the satisfying crush of a puff pastry. We will certainly be back to try more of the menu.”

“Was not disappointed. Food was good.”

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

“Absolutely love this place! The vibes are amazing and Cat is the greatest bartender I’ve ever met! She took great care of us and gave us a wonderful experience. 10/10 would recommend❤️”

“Got the pickle back chicken and it was amazing. Our server Sam was attentive and helpful, checked on my weird food allergy and made sure I was safe. Loved it and wanna go again soon.

Vegetarian options: Lots of Vegan and Vegetarian options, and super yummy”

“Great server great good. Love this place”

“I had the best soup of my life! the crushed lentil was amazing!”

“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!”

“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!!”

“We eat here frequently because the food is very good and the prices are quite reasonable.

Unfortunately the service is usually pretty bad. I don't want to feel like the waitstaff is doing me a favor by waiting on me.

We will continue to eat there for sure, but we would eat there more often if the service was better.”

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

“Great place to eat before a concert at Royal Oak Music Theater”

“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.”

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

“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!”

“What a wonderful treat! I was visiting the area for business and found this location on HappyCow. The owner is enthusiastic, and the staff is great. Food speaks for itself! According to the owner, other than organic local honey that is put in some of the smoothies, everything else is vegan.”

“It was my first time at Atomic Coffee and I loved it !!! The staff is very nice and the lattes, and food are very good. I also loved the atmosphere in the place. I would come again !!”

“Excellent food! Hot, fresh and fast!”

“Customer service was on point! I was greeted with a smile and a friendly atmosphere. I went with the Birria tacos and a chicken quesadilla. If you are in the area taco bros is a must visit.”

“We had Kal's for the first time today, and my goodness it was so delicious! We enjoyed a cream chicken bowl with hummus; the loaded Falafel starter; and fattoush salad. It was absolutely delightful how fresh everything was. The cream chicken bowl was wonderful, the chicken was tender and crispy on the outside. the salad was the freshest I've had in ages. The loaded Falafel was like nothing we've ever had, the Amba mango sauce is an absolute tasty surprise! The portions are huge the services phenomenal, the prices are on point, and we are already planning a return visit!”

“Dessert Oasis Coffee Shop in Royal Oak, Michigan, is a delightful gem that truly excels in crafting a delicious matcha latte. The matcha was expertly blended, resulting in a smooth and creamy texture that’s perfectly sweetened, making it a standout choice. The inviting atmosphere and friendly staff enhance the experience, making it an ideal spot for relaxation, studying or catching up with friends. With its commitment to quality and community, Dessert Oasis is definitely worth a visit for anyone seeking a top-notch coffee experience!

Parking: Plenty of street or garage parking nearby”

“All their food is great, highly recommend the burgers, wings, and steak frites”

“On Oct. 19, I ordered the Shoreline Shrimp & Scampi
Plump sea scallops & tender jumbo shrimp simmered in a luscious lemon & caper cream w/ grape tomatoes. Served w/ crispy red skin potatoes, fresh vegetables and grilled garlicky toast rounds.

I ordered this entree with linguini noodles. The shrimp and scallops were great!

The cream was bland and there was no luscious lemon, caper cream. The cream was loose and I did not taste any lemon or capers (almost nonexistent and tasteless) which generally adds a nice flavor to food. Also, I did not get any grilled garlicky toast rounds.

I have ordered this entree several times before and it was DELICIOUS. I even encouraged my friend to order it and she was disappointed as well.

I will return to Lilly's because overall the food is really good. I just hope the next time I order this entree, the flavor truly fits the description and I get my garlicky toast rounds. P.S. Seth our waiter was GREAT!!!!”

“This place is the spot seriously, from the food to the customer service! Rob, Erik, and Charles are the people that make this place awesome. They’re so cool and outstanding at their job! I will be back and recommending this place to everyone!❤️❤️❤️ food so good I was dozing off in the place??”

“Amazing new spot in downtown Royal Oak. Tacos and guac were so good. More authentic than the other Mexican restaurants in town, and the vibe is more upscale and relaxing. Really friendly staff and quick service. Hidden gem! I hope more people discover and support this restaurant. Pretty close to the Lafayette street garage for parking.”

“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”

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

“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!”

“Easy access location with a no fuss, no muss drive through. No tip device shoved in your face or surcharge! Just a smiling face taking your order. The conies and fries were fresh hot, crisp generous and just the right amount of mess.Hell yes.i found a new food friend,”

“looking for a great coney and hani, look no further!”

“Since I started working nearby 4 years ago this location has always been my go-to Starbucks!
I never have any issues with my orders. The whole team is awesome!”

“THE EMPLOYEES ARE SO COOL, CZUSE ITS COOL INSIDE, LOL BUT REALY GREAT PEOPLE, AND THE MENU IS SUPER. THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO GIVE US SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT, DRINK,”

“The service was a little slow, and the burger was barely on the bun. I ordered a large French fry, and it was maybe two- third s full. What happened to filling up the fries?”

“The food was fresh and filling. For the first time, I got solid whole pieces of spicy cheese curds, haha! Usually, it's bits. Was my grandma's favorite place to eat when I was younger, and now it's one of mine.”

“Mike K. is AMAZING!! This was my first time at Panda Express. Mike went to the trouble to Explain Everything to me. Even though I was still deciding what I Wanted, Mike assembled my Order Efficiently & Was Very Polite! I had a very pleasant experience & will come back again, especially if Mike is working.
Thanks Mike K.”

Excellent customer service first thing when they open!!! Thanks you for treating me as family!! These employees are wonderful!! Food’s awesome too! Always wearing their gloves n polite!!!”

“The first time I tried Kiwi Watermelon REFRESHNER, it tasted good...iced coffe always love from dunkin.

Place &ambience:The time I went was not crowded. The ambience was good

Parking:had good parking space.”

“I dined in, grabbing a gyro, fries, lemonade and roast beef with cheddar. My food was hot and fresh. I saved the sandwich for later. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. The only drawback was not having any milkshakes available. I was very disappointed about that. I'll be back for another milkshake. If they're unavailable...well, wait for the next review. ?”

“This McDonald's is actually pretty good consistently, and normally I deduct one star for having a double drive-thru but this is one very very rare instance of a McDonald's that actually uses its double drive through correctly consistently. Inside is updated but for some reason every time I've eaten inside I've witnessed some sort of incident.”

“Excellent food and bar staff are awesome! Makes you feel at home.”

“We go here once a week. Food is always fresh and the service is top notch. Do not miss coming here!”

“definitely would recommend to go there”

“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.”

“The place was surprisingly empty, the wait staff was nice and attentive but the food was mid, and they didn't have too many menu options but, good place to take your grandparents though! Id come back

Parking: Very good and spacious parking lot

Kid-friendliness: They had kids menus”

“The food here is fantastic! Just tried the Autumn soup for the first time and will definitely go back for seconds!!!”

“Very nice people and great food!”

“OmG I thought I knew something about Mediterranean food. I was wrong. They picked all my food for me cause I had never heard of any of it. An it was....AWESOME. They suggested a carry out container an I was confused because it loomed like I could finish it in one sitting, again I was wrong.”

“Delicious food, reasonably priced, friendly owner and staff”

“Royal oaks staff is absolutely incredible! Go in there if you want to start your day with some positivity.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Quality and great price for sandwiches and salads!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Got the pickle back chicken and it was amazing. Our server Sam was attentive and helpful, checked on my weird food allergy and made sure I was safe. Loved it and wanna go again soon.

Vegetarian options: Lots of Vegan and Vegetarian options, and super yummy”

“I just ordered a grilled cheese carryout, and they put the pickles in a little plastic cup next to my sandwich, instead of letting those nasty little wet green guys slosh around with my precious grilled cheese. Real G move. 5 stars”

“I will cut to the chase, everything was a 10, and when I say everything, I mean it. We had a Tandoori chicken wing appetizer with grilled / seasoned onions and peppers. The chicken was so juicy and full of flavor. The veggies wereso good I was torn which part I liked more. We also had the sampler and the fried veggies were amazing, the somosa was perfectly seasoned, crisp, and right ratios of filling. We ordered Lamb Tikka Masala, Lamb Biryani, Chicken Kadai, and Chicken Tikka Masala. The owner asked us how hot we like it and even let us try the sauce prior, it wasn't needed, it was all perfect. I tried all 4, they were all amazing. If I was forced to pick just 2 things, the Kadai and the Biryani were so good I could eat them all the time. My son ate the entire Chicken Tikka Masala except for the 1 bite I stole. We had the garlic naan, bullet naan (jalepeno), and aloo naan (potato). The bullet naan disappeared so fast, all 3 were wonderful. We ended with the Mango Lassi and they were the perfect end of my meal. I will try the masala tea next time to end with! The service was easily the best I have ever had. Thank you Sam for being the best host, thank you to the cooks for a perfect meal, and I can't wait to return. My wife, son, and I now have a new favorite. My son loves his new uncle!”

“I wish our server knew more when it came to a few questions I had but what we ordered was all delicious. We had a bit of everything. Sushi was so good. We were surprised. Their seafood paella was tasty and a good amount. I liked their lobster bisque soup too.”

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

“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.”

“Even at night, the patio is beautiful. The heaters were on and the drinks were delicious, I had the Bellagio almond sour and it's my new favorite drink, the whole table ordered a round after trying it.

I had the BLT and that is the most high end flavors I have the pleasure of enjoying. The bacon is thick cut and the fries had some kind of Parmesan cheese that was a huge hit.

Our server was hilarious, we enjoyed the friendly banter and candor.”

“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 hadn’t visited IHOP in some time, admittedly. However, I was delighted about my return. What’s nice is that they have added things to the menu such as veggie sausages and gluten free pancakes. In other words, there truly is something for everyone.

At the same time, plan to pay 5.99, I believe for one veggie patty. In addition, you cannot use your app for the gluten-free pancakes. Remember all those cool syrups on the table? Although they are available, it’s not quite the same quality as it was.

Overall, it was a fun and yummy experience! Know that you may spend $15-20 per grownup with drinks. Times have changed.

Vegetarian options: Hash-browns, veggie patties”

“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!”
