20 Best American Restaurants in Royal Oak

“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.“

“Nice decor (loved the women's bathroom), great ambience, very friendly servers and the food was tremendous! We had the carrot and avocado salad and the seabass. Both were exceptional. I would definitely stop here again if we are ever in the area again.“

“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.“

“Burger was good, probably top 5-10ish in Metro Det imo. Drink was fine. Sourdough and fries were both super overcooked. When I made the reservation it said you could only hold the table for 90 mins for parties of 2. We were asked to leave the moment it hit an hour and 15 minutes.“

“Super friendly service, food had an amazing temperature and super tasty. I must say that they marinated chicken was juicy and delicious.“

“All the people who worked there were the nicest people ever. Their soup has healed me on multiple occasions, and has alphabet noodles which I think is an adorable choice. All of the other food was really good too. Dry rub wings are awesome. The ranch was good too but the wings didn't need it. I would add a picture but I ate it all immediately 😄“

“Great food great price James and I love it“

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

“Amazing experience at The Avenue Restaurant! The food was absolutely perfect, everything was fresh and delicious. The waiters were so kind, friendly, and welcoming, and the place was very clean and beautiful. The owner was also incredibly kind and made us feel very comfortable. Definitely one of the best places to visit highly recommended!“

“Great food, great service. Our group order the chicken pot pie, burger, onion rings, and Ruben. All great!“

“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!!!“

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

“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 🤣“

“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 was having a bad day which I shared with my server Billy! He is a gem and cheered me up beyond measure! My food was delicious, but that kind of true care, means the world! I had the wonderful grilled cheese! The manager is a love too! Thank you!“

“Was not disappointed. Food was good.“

“On my visit back to the ROB, I was looking forward to my Go To dish of Beef Stroganoff, only to find out it's no longer on the menu. What a bumper. So instead, I had the Shepard's Pie which was very delicious. Our server was Erin M. She did an excellent job of watching over and serving our needs as required. I request that she be acknowledged by higher authority for a job well done. Today's visit to the ROB was again a pleasant experience. Bring back the Beef Stroganoff and you will probably see me more. I need my Stroggy Fix. :)“

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