Warm garbage. We clearly didn't get the memo as the only 20 somethings in this retirement home cafeteria. There was absolutely no music playing. The service was interesting - they bring your tray to your table for you, even if you try to bring it yourself. The food was warm. The sirloin was somehow dry and moist from being covered in gravy at the same time. The steamed vegetables had a weird taste to them and were definitely overcooked. They saran wrap the salad with croutons inside all day, so the croutons were soggy. The desserts were just sad. We spent $45 for two people. Would not be going back again.

The venue is clean and inviting. I like the old fashioned woodwork, tables and chairs. The employees were polite and friendly. The food wasn't as good as I would have liked. Not much flavor to any of it.

I stopped here for lunch and ordered the Roast Beef Plate. It is served cafeteria style, and I chose Mashed Potatoes and Gravy along with Mac n Cheese along with Corn.The service was quick and very friendly. You can tell the servers have been working there a long time. The beef was tender and juicy. The Mac n Cheese was a little bland and the corn was fine.Overall, the price was a bit on the expensive side, but not outrageous considering the quality of the meat. I will stop here again.

This is the last one standing! There used to be several locations, including Dearborn, Detroit, Westland and of course this one which is in Royal oak. We have been to all of those locations over the years, my wife even worked at the one in Detroit. The food is always great, and so are the people that work there. As evidence of that we drive from Redford township to Royal oak because we enjoy it so much. I also have family members that drive from Dearborn, Novi, and Farmington hills. There's just no place left like this anywhere.

Such a pleasant experience! It’s been around 25 years since I’ve been to one of these restaurants and it still has the same feel I remember as a child. Roast beef is tender and delicious! Steamed vegetables were cooked to perfection. Oreo cheese cake was superb. Everyone working was extremely friendly. I don’t come out to royal oak often but I will be back next time I’m town. Do yourself a favor and visit Sign of the Beefcarver. ESPECIALLY if you want a quick, fresh and healthy lunch. No fried or fatty foods here!
