Restaurants in St. Clair Shores

“Innovative and well-crafted mixed drinks, warm atmosphere (feels like home), hardy laughs, and good times. Extensive and premier spirits/wine list. Love the choice of side dishes; they make a great paring. You couldn’t go wrong making a trip here!!”

“absolutely recommend this place if you're looking for a real brunch experience. the food is delicious, and the drinks are always made.”

“The cleanest Restaurant you will ever find. Service top notch. Food is excellent and always so fresh. Soups are made daily with homemade recipes/fantastic selections.”

“I've been to a few breweries believe me when I tell you most are great. So if you get a chance to stop in Baffin and you just sample what they have. Then you compare. They have a marketing idea with a great selection, first. They keep what works. Can't tell you what to do but you will not be making a bad choice”

“Great beer and patio. Pet friendly and you can bring food or enjoy a food truck meal on certain days.”

“We just celebrated Mother's Day with my family. You must come. Great food, excellent service and beautiful decor. Thanks for making this a very special day,”

“AIdan is the BEST! Very compassionate about talking about my dad who is now dying. Thanks! Of course the ribs were great!”

“food and drinks were delicious.”

“Love this place! The owners are incredibly personable, and the staff is always quick, attentive, and friendly. You can tell management genuinely cares—prices are fair, portions are generous, and the food is consistently delicious. Whether you're stopping in for a late-night bite or enjoying lunch on the patio, XO delivers every time.

Bonus: it's family-friendly, affordable, and has a great neighborhood vibe. Highly recommend!”

“Great food. Awesome service”

“I'm biased, but this is MY KIND OF PLACE!
First timer with all kinds of pesky dietary restriction. Vegans and Vegetarians delight. Reminds me of NYC. Food is clearly made with love and care and historical precedent. Tastes like home - wherever your home may be.
Pies? Dangerously BINGEABLE!
The texture and flavor balance in the tabbuleh is unmatched in metro Detroit.
I won't be in every day, but will be back soon - a downtown pilgrim in search of Lebanese Tahini!
Five stars for the food. All the rest of them for the distinct lack of pretension, the immediate coziness, and the charm of the folks on the other side of that well traveled counter. This place is in great hands.
So. Freakin. Yummy.”

“great store & very friendly employee's!!!”

“Both female bartenders out on the patio work together well. I tried a house white wine and coil for the first time and I loved both. I would buy these both again because they were so tasty. This place is consistent and the food is delicious.”

“My son treated me to dinner. I got calamari, side salad and crab rangoon. He got a smash burger with fries. Modest craft beer selection with local favorites. Seasonal cocktails and a bigger wine and spirits menu than I was expecting.”

“What a lovely and beautifully decorated restaurant, on the water, in St. Clair Shores, MI. We loved the variety of meals available and each of them were wonderfully prepared! Also, Laura, the restaurant manager, made sure that our dining experience exceeded our utmost expectations! We will certainly come back again!”

“month later and I'm just getting around to writing this review. That should tell you how memorable the experience was. We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday. We picked from one of the choices of limited menus for our large group. We were seated in the most beautiful location. Service was perfection my family is still talking about how good the food was. I will definitely be revisiting.”

“Mediocre food at a hefty price. The filet I ordered was undercooked and due to being full from the clam chowder soup and bread, I didn't know until after I took it home. I fed the majority of it to my dog. The feedback I received from the owner was, "I bet the dog didn't complain." Suggestions: Train staff to have customers cut into their steak to make sure the temperature is accurate and cooked accordingly. (I regrettably should have done so anyways while I dined in) The owner definitely doesn't care about returning customers, but I will make sure to leave this review on multiple sites simply for the fact of how it was addressed with rude sarcasm. That in itself was more upsetting than the issue on hand. The owner is a bully and insults anyone who has a bad experience. I'll be contacting corporate to let them know after reading other reviews and experiences.”

“samurai special and extra shrimp. love the salad dressing”

“Love the improvements the new owners have done outside so far. The new patio and tables provide a place to sit and enjoy your treat. I also appreciate that they kept the generous portions, by far the BEST VALUE for your money! I look forward to spring 2023 and see what more they may do. Thank you for serving our community with taste, good service, and value!”

“Had lunch her for the first time today. We got the pulled pork, brisket and fries. Fries were crisp and seasoned to perfection. Pulled pork was tender — and there wasn’t a bit of fat to be seen. The brisket hands down was the star though. The most tender and juicy I have ever had. We lived in the south for years and this is by far and away the best bbq we’ve had. Their barbecue sauce is equally as delicious, I wish I’d ordered an extra! We will be back soon.”

“Ive had some tacos before, but Never an Arepa. food is delicious. I got one Chicken Arepa, one bowl, and Definelty was worth popping in after seeing on Chow Down Detroit reviewed. They were out of beef, but definitely gonna pop on here and there. They also have a nice food truck for bars or events looking for vendors or food trucks. definitely one worth trying if you see the truck 💯 Juicy, flavorful and definetly filling with just 1.”

“My family celebrated Christmas today, because of an illness in the family. We ordered pizzas today, to make things easier on my Mom. The pizzas were awesome! Everyone truly enjoyed them all !”

“This place is amazing! They have these icecream stackers for $8 for a regular cup and $10 for a large. The regular is a massive cup. It is filled to the brim! I asked for cookie dough instead of pretzels and they were so nice about it. They also let you customize. My friend got a small cup of the waffle chips too. They overloaded my cup. The icecream is super delicious. The chocolate chip lava cookie looks amazing too. They do sell coffees and cakes. The tables were cute and clean as well. I would love to come back again!”

“The best ice cream place in the area. Super friendly staff. awesome seasonal menu items.”

“They are the best. I requested a superman cheesecake they had never made before but they agreed to try it it was great. I would recommend them to everyone.”

“Highly recommend! As a vegan who prioritizes healthy, primarily whole-food, plant-based eating, it can be incredibly challenging to find places that truly align with those values—both for dining and for shopping specialty vegan products. My husband and I were thrilled to discover Radical Plants. It truly checks every box for us!”

“Wonderful variety of tasty treats. Custard, frozen yogurt, and vegan ice cream are all phenomenal. Friendly staff and nice outdoor seating.”

“Great coffee and great service!”

“We used Papelon’s Food Truck for our Quinceanera Event with 70-80 guests. We avoided having to setup food in the venue. Even with so many hungry guest the food was made to order (Arepas, Cachapas and Tequenios) without a long wait. We had all the option of fillings on the menu!!! During peak the pagers were helpful so the guest could enjoy the party inside until the order was ready. It’s a plus if it gets a little chilly outside. At the end there was no leftover since our guest (mostly teenagers) could not stop eating. Non of the food went to waste which is amazing and showed everyone just loved the food! Service was impeccable by the friendly staff who stayed until no-one was hungry! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! P.s. Always good to try the food when popping up at the breweries in the area or at their food market in St Clair Shores!!! My personal favorites are Arepa Papelon e Arepa Reina Pepiada!”

“My husband and I got the double chocolate cake and we are so impressed. It is absolutely delicious! Thank you so much!!!”

“Such a great experience! Waitress was kind and friendly food was fresh and delicious! Can not wait to come back !! Thank you for a great experience”

“I ordered a dozen cupcakes from the Pink Elephant for a girls birthday luncheon. They were a hit! It was my first time there and I will definitely be going back.”

“We always have our cakes made here. Everytime it's always amazing. Here is the most recent cake. Their prices are very reasonable as well.”

“We stopped in for breakfast before a wrestling tournament and we had excellent service and our food was great! My son said the French toast was the best he’s ever had, and the corn beef hash was homemade! Would definitely recommend and will stop again if we are back in the area.”

“Detroit Cookie Company responded right away to my inquiry about ordering a cookie cake for a friend even though it was after hours. The cashiers inside the St. Clair Shores location were also very nice and all the cookies looked so delicious I had to get a couple for myself. Very much appreciated and highly recommend!”

“I'm hooked on the veggie samosas. However? Today, I had two of the three without any filling! Pretty disappointing.”

“We were supposed to be trying a different restaurant that was recommended by a friend. On the way, we passed Palmers Inn but kept going to our other restaurant. When we pulled into the tiny, full parking lot my husband pulled right out. We decided to try Palmers Inn and we are SO happy we did!!! Vicki was our server and she was like a long lost friend from the moment we sat down. Our food came fast and it was exceptional! We have been driving by this place for years and never stopped. But now we are excited to have a new breakfast spot and can’t wait to try lunch and dinner- we were told the fish and chips is the best!!”

“Great food.”

“The best corned beef sandwiches!”

“1st time and hooked! never will have commercial pizza after this. You really taste the difference. Ordering was easy,delivery fast and will recommend to everyone I know. Been a long time since I enjoyed a REAL made pizza. Screamin Scott WCSX”

“They got some of the best burgers in the area and they taking over”

“Great place for a coffee date with friends! So cute inside, and we love the sitting outside when the weather is nice. Yummy lattes and wonderful customer service too.”

“Went last night for the first time. Food was delicious! The decor was beautiful. Our waitress Kellie was the best. Gave great recommendations, very attentive, but most of all great personality!”

“First time here, no drive through but plenty of parking in the back of the building. They accepted cash or card. The Hot Dog combo for $3 is a steal. Overall a good experience with a friendly staff and the ice cream was delicious as well.”

“Hands down best pizza in the area. Real handmade, no frozen crusts. No National brand. Salads are uber fresh. People are great.”

“Shores inn has always made me feel so comfortable. And the people working there are amazing. There are a few that I talk with is why I will always return.
Thank you Shores and there workers.”

“I moved to SCS 5 months ago and have never been here before. My family and I have tried carryout from several restaurants and we always end up with Gilbert’s. Great food, service & prices. I had my daughters 1st birthday in their banquet room yesterday and I’m over the moon happy with how it turned out! The staff was super helpful and always around when I needed anything. The food was great, my guests raved about the pizza and spinach dip. I would book events here in the future without a doubt. Look no further for a great American cuisine menu and staff that makes you feel like family!”

“Best in St Clair Shores! Come check them out!”

“Absolutely love this place. The employees are so friendly and genuinely care about their customers 💕 oh, and the tea is great too! 😉”

“Best tasting lamb chops , I have ever had ! !”

“We can never say anything bad about this restaurant. My husband who is a picky eater will gladly Drive the distance to get a Reuben and of course I love the deep fried cauliflower. They are friendly very helpful I also am glad there are some really good delis but you got to drive if you don't live in the shores. It's clean very clean the most important thing and there are some restaurants I Won't Go Back but this one I will back and back and back”

“Really great atmosphere to come hang out and talk with people you have not seen in a long time”

“Good service with Amanda Very nice and absolutely stunning super hot”

“I finally got out of work early enough to try this place, I have walked by it so many times. The soups were amazing, and the muffin was so friggin' good. The couple working in there were great!”

“The best Lebanese food in the area! Love to order their salads and the dressing is so different it’s great! So fresh and healthy you really can’t go wrong ordering anything here. Beef kafta sandwich, felafel sandwich, the fries are amazing!”

“The burger was so good and the fried ravioli was phenomenal. Quick, tasty and affordable!!”

“My experience here at El charro's in St Clair shores was completely awesome, Kayla who is usually at the window is so sweet, and has excellent customer service, the puffy Tacos are my favorite💯 10 out of 10.Ate left no crumbs!🗣️💞”

“Always good food. There is a middle eastern place that's closer, but this one is better.
Dining area still closed but it looks like it is being worked on.”

“my first time here the food was so good and the service was great Mrs.Sue was a great waitress”

“Wide variety of sandwiches. Been coming here for years. Staff is friendly.

Recently though, I'm asked if I want to leave a tip ahead of time instead of signing for a tip, and I really just don't like that. Great shop though and food!”

“I love that the morning shift girls are always so happy and helpful. I'm always greeted with a smile and fast service. Great way to start my day”

“Went on a busy Tigers opener and had to park on the street, parking lot was full. Nice drink specials and wait staff got to us fast considering how crowded it was. Ordered an Italian calzone and a Philly Cheese Steak calzone and they were delicious. Had we knew how big they were we would have ordered one and split it, but we have lunch for tomorrow. Good experience all the way around at Tony J’s. 😋”

“Such a simple thing, ordering Door Dash. Absolutely love a delivery that contains all the food, condiments & napkins. Great start to a first order from here.

I’m a National guy, always have been, always will be. That Chicken Hani man, I love it. Fluffy pita stuffed with fried chicken, multiple cheeses, mayo, lettuce & tomato.

The fries tasted as good as if they brought them out to my table. Fresh pickles, on the side. Zero complaints today. Thanks for cooking dinner while I watched some football.

I definitely will be back, and I would highly recommend as much as one can after a single visit.”

“Great food and an even better staff!! Great place!!”

“Food was good... restaurant was not the cleanest and it might be because it was late about an hour in a half before closing so I didn't think much of it. This sliders are very reasonable in cost therefore I will definitely go back!”

“Ordered a pizza online and when I arrived, they were slammed. Even with customer being rude to the employees and complaining, the employees acted professional and kept everything moving to serve everyone as quick as they could. Would recommend and order again.”

“Usually out of dough for the Big Benito, but when you're able to get one they're a nice once in a while treat for the family. I really like the lady that's worked there over the years, i forgot her namw unfortunately.”

“Yummy Chicken Parmesan sub very good”

“The delicious pastries are total comfort food. I order a pastry basket instead of flowers. Consistently delicious. Excellent customer service.”

“Didn't want to post because I don't want people to know about this place... Best subway around.. and it's for the guy making the subs.. greating his regulars by name as they walk in. An making sure you got what you wanted. Top notch service. Cheers”

“The employees taking the order and cooking were amazing. The food was really good, there was slack of seating for more than 4. This is a takeout restaurant more than a eat in restaurant.”

“NOTE: THIS IS THE SUBWAY JUST SOUTH OF 13 MILE on Harper in St Clair Shores.

I have been coming here for years, and come here for a reason - I’m picky. The owner is usually here and he’s pretty cool to talk to. I was reading the reviews and some of them are CLEARLY mixing this subway with the subway further north on Harper, near 15 mile, in Clinton township. Although just a couple miles apart, they are 2 different subways with totally different vibes. By confusing the two locations, it’s giving this (hidden gem IMO) location bad ratings. I’ve never had any issue here, they’re fast, super friendly and the place is very clean.”

“Great staff and amazing food”

“would recommend if the owner wasn't hateful towards queer people. Foods great, staff is great, but the owner felt the need to harass me for wearing an ankle high skirt and sitting with my friends. He kept insisting it was other people who had an issue with me just existing in his space when all I was doing was sitting there quietly drinking a drink. No one but him said a word about it. His wife came up trying to apologize but sat there and tried to call it "my life style choices". no one chooses to be. I didn't choose to be anything other than myself and I shouldn't have to explain myself to anyone because they hate people like me. Owner claims I'm welcome only after people left because of what he said to me. He clearly doesn't realize gender expression and gender identity is a protected class here in Michigan. I was born with conditions that caused me to be very tall, and conditions that caused my hormones to be equal. several of my organs didn't form right and one died. I shouldn't have to explain this. I shouldn't be dehumanized like the owner tried to do. Bigotry almost never stops at one thing and the owner is a bigot.”

“Best breakfast of all time. Best potatoes!!! I ate it too fast and finished it all, so there’s no photos. Make this your favorite place too!! 😋”

“Very good fast friendly service.”

“Great food, friendly service!”

“Food good but quite expensive, and it's loud.”

“Jenny and Jenna are the absolute BEST! We had a surprise party here and even with 50+ people they made sure everyone was taken care of! We wouldn't have had the experience we did if it wasn't for them. It was our first time there, and because of them I'm sure it won't be our last🤩🥳”

“Get the nacho ultra!! Seriously so good!!”

“high quality delicious subs, friendly and professional staff. had the chipotle chicken and salsa Verde chicken cheese steak. the chipotle chicken was my fav 🔥🔥”

“Awesome! We get this a lot after Karate and tonight we got it for my daughters bday party and it was amazing!!! Great job!”

“Everything was a perfect take out, just got a little surprised when the normal large Chinese dinner rolls we are accustomed to turned out to be little Hawaiian rolls! Lol 😢”

“Love the atmosphere here and the food is amazing! Check it out”

“I love going here! The atmosphere alone is so welcoming and the workers make you feel like family. My kids love the pizza And I love the salads! They make their own bread and for that they are perfectly priced just knowing that you are getting delicious FRESHLY made subs and pizza well worth every penny!”

“I don’t know who put these kids on but they don’t know the first thing about buissness. They are going to sink”

“Always the friendliest staff. Now a new favorite smoothie...chocolate, peanut butter banana...omg, really? Too die for.”

“I just had the Birria Tacos and Spicy Street Corn. Excellent!! I will be back! St Clair Shores location, east side of Greater Mack & Carolina St, south of 9 Mile. 😋”

“The employees were absolutely amazing. They were so nice and kind and caring and professional and compassionate and made me feel like family. It wasn't even funny. I was very happy that I went there. They had an amazing deal and offer special coupon for Sunday. Going on and I I am very grateful and look forward to joining them and the future for another meal . Thank you !”

“Got some takeout here from last night food was fresh and very delicious”

“The service and food were amazing. The amount of food you get for the price feels like we’ve went back in time. You don’t feel like you’re being ripped off & the owner (I think he was the owner) graciously gave me more sauce since my husband forgot to ask for it on when he was ordering. Overall I would recommend 10/10!”
