50 Best Bar & Grill near Royal Oak

“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 🤌🏼💜“

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

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

“Hi ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok“

“We landed here after arriving in town on a Tuesday evening and needing a good dinner. We were immediately welcomed in (after first trying another restaurant where no one even came to seat us). The atmosphere was warm and inviting with live music. The food and drinks were excellent. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Royal Oak!“

“Not really much of a sports bar person in the past, and I have lived in Royal Oak for years and just started coming here. The service is always really great, but because it’s so popular sometimes it can get very busy, it’s a great place to watch a Lions game hockey game, etc. The staff is always been extremely personable, and the owners are almost constantly there. Definitely a place that cares about the product they are putting out, The pizza and the cheese sticks are delicious. I will literally die if the cheese sticks ever go away. Definitely an old school bar where you can actually speak to people and meet new people pretty much at any age group. Definitely not the norm for downtown Royal Oak.. Some of the other reviews sound like they’re probably from people who aren’t used to being in public.. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“We had Bri as our server. She was so nice, sweet, helpful, and attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and kept checking on us in a timely manner. She had a smile on her face the entire time. Such a pleasant person to have as a server. Scott the manager also checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We had the hot honey bacon flatbread and it was amazing. Will definitely be back.“

“A special day. A special night. Couldn't be better. Arranged by our son and daughter. The waiter did everything, except eat our food. The wines were a delight and the steak and salmon were prepared with artistry. He guided us with each entre and the salad was shared by us with dressing aside. Wine, was by the glass and was both red and white and light, semidry and elegant. Our perfect dinner ended the perfect evening. Thank you 220 Merrill for a wonderful 50th.“

“Game Day at CJ Mahoney's
With no way to catch the big game at home, CJ Mahoney's was the perfect destination. Nestled in a cozy booth, we had our own personal TV, the perfect setup for an immersive viewing experience.

We kicked off the game with a classic Supreme Pizza, a cheesy, saucy delight topped with a colorful array of ingredients. While she sipped on a couple of refreshing 7 and 7's, I opted for a crisp Diet Coke. Later, we indulged in a flavorful cheese Quesadilla, a cheesy, crispy treat that hit the spot.

Despite the packed house, the staff handled the crowd with impressive efficiency. They were friendly, attentive, and kept our drinks flowing.

CJ Mahoney's has become our go-to spot for game day. The combination of great food, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere makes it a winner in our book.“

“As Toby Keith would say, “I love this bar”! I just found my new home away from home. So cute inside. TV’s, pool, darts…etc. Amazing food. Which they are going to expand their menu. Keno is coming soon. ? They have fish for Fridays. I’m hooked. ? I had the garden fresh pizza and it was fabulous. My girlfriend had the Guido burger and she said it was heaven. Met George, one of the owners and cooks, very friendly! Looking forward to my next visit here.“

“My friends and I love coming here! We’ve made it the spot we visit regularly! Great food, fantastic staff and a welcoming atmosphere all around!“

“Just left and wanted to write a review ASAP! Took my guy here for his birthday. We went to the bingo brunch. Even though there weren’t many people there at 10 am the bingo host played the game and awesome music in between each number being called. We each won bingo and got some fun prizes - shirts and games. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for playing games. The hostess was very welcoming. Our server was sweet and attentive and the food and drink were fantastic! What a gem! Can’t wait to come back!“

“Gator Jakes is one of the best bar/restaurants in the area!!! Awesome food, great specials and delish drinks. The wait staff and bartenders are always so nice and efficient.

“This place is an absolute gem! I randomly found it after my nail appointment down the road and I am SO glad that I did. The drinks were strong and well priced and the whitefish was the best I have ever had! Huge piece perfectly cooked with a thin, crispy batter served with two sides from a huge selection! Truffle fries were delicious and DO NOT sleep on the key lime pie, hand made by the owners themselves... Incredible!

The best part of the whole experience was the AMAZING service that Joyce provided. She was fun, friendly, and attentive and I will be going back to see her very soon despite living pretty far away.

Oh, also their shiny copper penny bar top is super cool! Definitely worth a visit!“

“Great meal! Great service! Lisa & team were awesome!“

“Dude. We went here last night…AMAZING. Food was great. Drinks were great. Music was A VIBE. I feel bad I don’t remember the server’s name who was outside on the patio, but genuinely some of the best service I’ve ever had, and I worked in the industry for 10+ years. He made great recommendations, was running his butt off, and just overall did a great job. You guys keep doing exactly what you’re doing. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Great food and drinks‼️‼️🥃🍸🌮🧀🍔“

“Always a fantastic time at J's! The service is amazing and the wings are the best out there! Thanks J's, love having such a chill place to hang in Ferndale!
Editing to add, I hosted my hubby's 50th here last night, it was such a hit! Everyone was so accommodating and the staff is the best in town! Thanks J's for making his birthday party perfect with warm pies and cold beers! Stella took excellent care of our entire party! The best! ?“

“Awesome food and drinks for over 15+ years. Come on in!!“

“Over 25 crowd (most patrons were 40s +). There is a $15 minimum to use a card so if you're just having 1 drink, bring cash. No cover. Pool tables and bar. I was told they no longer sell food at this Bar & Grill but I didn't confirm if the kitchen closes very early, is temporarily closed or closed indefinitely. There is outdoor space and also a food truck up the alley behind the businesses on Grand River. The staff was friendly and there was plenty of seating. It's not huge but there was a perfect number of people to enjoy yourself and not be crowded with people breathing COVID unknowingly. Old school music with some hustle tracks thrown in. I would go back.“

“Stopped into Cutter’s for a quick drink and found ourselves staying! Great atmosphere, stellar customer service especially Ms. Shalla! Drinks were great and food looked delicious. We will be back!“
