“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“

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.“

“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.“

“Beppé is a solid choice, especially for a date night. The spot is small but very clean, and the service was great, and everyone is super nice. I really enjoyed the burger; it was packed with flavor and is something I'd definitely come back for. The eggplant croquettes were also very good, and I'd order them again without hesitation. The ricotta cavatelli was a standout pasta dish, and their fries with aioli were absolutely amazing—they alone made the meal!“

“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!!!“
