Restaurants in Royal Oak

“Best taco I've ever had. Visited during the wine stroll. Had the chicken taco, can't wait to return to try more of their menu. The vibe was great. The employee that was handing out the tacos was kind and put a smile on our faces.”

“Excellent all the way around!!!”

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

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

“Me and my family had lunch at Noorjahan Restaurant, the food was very awesome and tasted great and was a good quality. Our server was Tazul, he was very courteous and efficient in delivering the food and catered to our every need. The food was very tasty awesome and high quality. Great tasting Indian food!”

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

“Found this gem back in July when I was moving my stuff to Detroit. Went back for the first time yesterday, such good ice cream and wonderful staff. 100% recommend!”

“Cannot speak on the location but they came to my work as a vendor and the food was great, very flavorful and a good portion. Even witnessed a co-worker drop their lunch (not from royal oak masala) and they gave them a portion for free, what great character the employees have.”

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

“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!”

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

“Best Detroit style pizza there is….their crust is so amazing.”

“You eat here because it's open AND the atmosphere is entertaining.

Sure, the food can be hit or miss sometimes, but that's NOT why you eat here. I LOVE THE OWL.”

“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 🤣”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“best food ever And a distinguished staff👍👍”

“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!”

“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 !”

“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!!”

“Harmony was the hostess when I placed my take out order. I had my lil fur baby and she was so sweet and gave him some treats, recommend the best flavor for some wings and refilled my drink before I left (since I was waiting outside for my food and was sipping on it). Highly recommend this location, the staff, food and hospitality is big here!! I appreciate you Harmony, thank you for the love 🤌🏼💜”

“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.”

“This was my first visit, but it won't be my last visit for sure. The food and drinks were good. Our server was awesome as well. Im sorry that I don't remember her name, but she was great.”

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

“Great service and food!👍🏻🍻”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“Ate at Cacao Tree Cafe for the first time the other night. I got the burrito and it was AWESOME. Service was great and fast. Also had chips & the nacho cheese dip - also delish. This plant based guy has a new spot… pretty psyched about that… 🥰”

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

“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)”

“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.”

“Fast friendly service! Kimmy is the BEST server! We loved the ribs and cocktails”

“The patty melt was so good, they were generous with the pickles and the deluxe meal came with a whole box of really hot fries and a pop. My only wish was that the fries were more seasoned but that’s a nitpick. This is a really great place, I called ahead and picked up my order in the drive through 7 minutes later. I’ll definitely be back.”

“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 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!”

“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.”

“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. 😊”

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

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

“definitely would recommend to go there”

“We’ve eaten here a number of times and the ingredients, portions service are awesome. Pictured we ordered 2 x honest bowls with tandoori chicken and rice as the base. Don’t forget to get the fresh baked bread, it’s my favorite part of the meal.”

“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.”

“I love this spot because they have an entire vegan menu. Everything is really good, super fresh, and there is a huge variety. The staff is always super nice and friendly. I can’t speak for the non-vegan items but everyone I bring here loves it.”

“Great food great price James and I love it”

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

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

“Pad Thai curry sounded nice with beef and spicy.

It wasn’t interesting dish. I’ve never had pad Thai curry and it turned out to be exactly what it sounds like pad Thai in curry sauce. It took some getting used to, but I tried to eat it. I think I like noodles that are less creamy and I have no curry. I’d like to be able to taste individual flavors of the vegetables and protein. Won’t be ordering this one again.

Quiet on a Tuesday night at dinner time. I like that the menus are at the table and the service was quick and responsive.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Great server great good. Love this place”

“Hi ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok”

“Customer service is amazing. Food is delicious. Perfect spot for late night pizza, chicken, etc.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stair and table is easy accessible”

“I AM SOOO HAPPY KAIZEN OPENED BACK UP. The ramen is delicious and the noodles made in house is fantastic. The chef Yoshika was amazing and so was her art that was hung on the wall.”

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

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

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

“Where else can you buy farm fresh produce, support local music, and enjoy the great offerings of royal oak businesses but the Royal Oak Farmers' Market”

“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.”

“I don’t normally write reviews, but this place deserves one. The people who run this pizzeria are amazing! They are consistently nice, make delicious pizza, and truly care about their customers. Thank you!”

“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”

“Quality and great price for sandwiches and salads!”

“Amazing ice cream!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”

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

“It was really easy to order online it was quick and fast and the workers were super nice!

Parking: It had plenty of parking spots and always had an empty spot”

“Very cool little spot. The wine slush was great with the extra splash of wine in top. The manager was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Fair prices on the bottles of wine as well. We'll be back.”

“I've heard about the new owner of this place and the food is tasty and filling. The staff are nice and friendly, very professional. will be ordering from here again.”

“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.”

“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”

“Cannot speak on the location but they came to my work as a vendor and the food was great, very flavorful and a good portion. Even witnessed a co-worker drop their lunch (not from royal oak masala) and they gave them a portion for free, what great character the employees have.”

“Tom's Oyster Bar on Main Street in Downtown Royal Oak was wonderful. My wife and I shared our one year wedding anniversary there last night and the food was absolutely incredible. Our waitress Daniel was amazing and she did a great job. I had the Baja Fish Tacos (Atlantic Cod). It was super scrumptious. My wife had a seafood pasta and it tasted too oniony at first but the waitress had the Chefs make it again and it was absolutely perfect the second time around. A lot less garlic and onion and they got it spot on the second time around. We started off with the seafood sampler. It had a panko crab cake that was great. Dynamite shrimp that definitely brought the heat but was so good. And let me tell you about the Oyster's Rockefeller!!!!! THEE MOST AMAZING Oyster's Rockefeller I have ever had! At the end of the night the restaurant made it super special for us because I had made them aware that we were celebrating and they brought out a Roman Candle cheesecake! YUMMMMMM! Thank you Tom's Oyster Bar for a 10 out of 10 night! I give it a 5 star.”

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.”

“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!!!”

“The food has always been awesome everytime I've went. I would just recommend that hair nets be worn!!!”

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