“Went here while i was out of town working. The Reuben was beyond amazing. The bartender was super friendly and knowledgeable and was on top of your every needs without be over bearing. She was also from Poland which being a person of the same background it was nice. Go in there and check out there food and drinks and play a game of pool. Your body will be happy you did.“
“Always a great time! If you’re sitting at tables Brittany is one of the best! Alexis and James behind the bar are outstanding as well! Food is always good, drinks are great, service is top tier. Doesn’t get much better than a night at Johnnys!“
“This place is absolutely awesome, the food is amazing and the service is even better. I had no idea it was such a hidden gem. There is a ton of very cool decorations in here too. The bar is very nice and the bathrooms are super clean. I will be back as the lasagna was really good!“
“My favorite Thai place of all time!The food never disappoints! I love that they have vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. The menu is fairly large and flavorful. A great place to go if multiple people have different dietary restrictions and taste buds. Staff is always kind. Our server this last time struggled a little with balancing their tables but overall it did not ruin the experience. It has a nice and clean interior. I personally tend to dress up a little more but you can get away with not being dressy.I also really like that the owner really cares for the staff. I follow the facebook page and have interacted with them a few times over the years.Dietary restrictions: They indicate on their menu what can be made gluten free and/or vegan. I really appreciate this!“
“Yes, everything about this place is a yes. The food, service, and atmosphere do not disappoint. I’ve been here 4 or 5 times already. The cocktails and food are creative, beautiful, and delicious. I’m obsessed with the decor, even down to the dinnerware. This is my happy place. I’m honestly hesitant to share, because I want it all to myself.“
“Love this place! The service is a 4 because the past two times I have been here it took forever to get drinks (both the first and second round) - folks were friendly so they may just be short staffed. Drinks are always on point and the snacks are just the right size!“
“Great experience! All the staff was top notch! We had smoked old fashions for a cocktail, which were perfectly presented. Aranchini and Gruyère spread were great as well as the pasta entrees. Wish we had time for dessert and to enjoy the live music duo, who were awesome. We had tickets to Royal Oak Music Theater...which was within walking distance.“
“Holy moly! I've been to some fantastic cigar clubs around the world. Don Christos ranks with some of the best. Magnificent bar. The wait staff are not only attentive, but drop dead gorgeous. Top shelf wine and liquor selection. And the cigars are terrific.“
“First time at the RH house and I was pretty impressed. First of all, the service was fabulous. The waitress was real friendly and food came out quickly. There were four of us -two of us had salads which were delicious and fresh. The other two had some kind of wraps and they said they were quite tasty. Place is really nice inside- very clean and decorated nicely. I don't know why I never have been here before because I drive it all the time. I'd recommend it. I will be back!“
“First time. Lunch on weekday. Tried their burger adding onion rings $11.95 and Blue Moon beer, total bill $19 plus tip. Reason for 4 and not 5 stars, I ordered burger "medium rare, more rare than medium " and it was served as medium wellness“
“Spent the most wonderful evening at Host recently. Highly recommend the old fashioned. Atmosphere was great. The staff was lovely and the owner came by our table to check in. We utilized the Parents Night Out feature and were blown away with the experience. Danika was amazing with the kids and they didn’t want to leave. Made for a very easy date night!Kid-friendliness: The Parents Night Out option made the meal very child friendly. Our toddlers were able to play upstairs in the coworking space with a sitter. They were close by in case anything happened and it was safe and secure. The hostess had an ear piece that connected to the sitter upstairs so we were being updated throughout the night. Highly recommend!“
“Unwined has GREAT wine and even BETTER staff! The rotating menu of wines makes it a very easy spot to revisit. They have something for all tastes, including food! Small bites and snacks are perfect to pair with their wines. The highlight of Unwined is the events they host! The themed trivia nights they host are a blast and you can tell they put thought and time into making these events fantastic. We are frequent flyers and will continue to be!“
“I love everything about V&V. The owners are lovely. The atmosphere is delightful. The food is delicious and I have never had a bad glass of wine in the dozen or more visits I have made since they opened their doors.Vegetarian options: The veggie panini and grilled cheese sandwich are my favorites!Parking: Parking is available on the street and can usually be found on further than a 3 minute walk from V&V’s front door.“
“Our dining experience was fantastic. The atmosphere was relaxing and fun. Our waitress, Kelly was amazing. She was kind, energetic, attentive without hovering. The food was outstanding. All the entrées and appetizers were out of this world. We cannot wait to go back! I cannot say enough nice things about this restaurant and its staff, the owner and the chef.“
“We came for dinner and every single thing we ate was excellent. We had corned beef croquets (holiday special), the roasted garlic ricotta dip, vegan risotto and short rib sandwich. Every aspect was well-prepared & perfectly balanced, service was excellent, atmosphere was just a standard milquetoast restaurant/bar but the food was magnificent.“
“Today was our first trip to the Garfield Cafe. The service and food were both fantastic. My wife had the crispy chicken salad and I had the sliders, both were delicious. The fries were cooked perfectly. I was impressed with the variety they offered in their menu. We ordered pancakes as an appetizer to see if we'd be back for breakfast in the future and we were not disappointed. They were both fluffy and melted in your mouth as you ate them.“
“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!!“
“Coolest place in the suburbs. Great music and amazing intercontinental atmosphere! Yes it is a cigar bar but don’t let it sway you. The ventilation is great. Oh and They have flaming cocktails and they actually use great seasoning on their burger.“
“We tried Ronin Sushi the other day and it was decent. The vibe was cool, be aware that the lounge upstairs some of the seats don't have backs! I would recommend the lounge for a drink but not for a full meal - worth the wait for a table downstairs. The shrimp with yuzu app was tasty, the sashimi was fresh, sushi was okay (not bad but not super memorable). My boyfriend and I both got the whiskey sours and they were very tart. I would come back for the ambiance and the apps/sake. Random critique but organize the menus! It was kind of challenging to shuffle through the three menus front and back as some had similar food items/cocktails and others had different. Streamlining the menu would do wonders.“
“This is honestly my favorite coffee spot. Wonderful pastries, lovely coffee and atmosphere. However, this morning I had a strange experience— got my usual order (honey lavender latte), but it tasted burnt and like there was no syrup in it at all (totally not a typical experience there, btw). With anxiety coursing through my veins, I gathered the courage to ask for my latte to be remade, which I have never done, and hate doing. The woman at the register gave me a suspicious look, almost like I was trying to pull a fast one, or steal something even though I was handing her the full cup of coffee to be replaced. Just very hesitant to adhere to such a request. It made me feel ridiculous for even asking... Instead, a barista, who was absolutely lovely, approached me and kindly offered to remake it for me. It was delicious. I was thankful for her willingness to interject into that conversation and help out (even though she was already incredibly busy and working her tail off.) All-in-all though, my experience with the woman at the register made me feel yucky and unvalued, as someone who very regularly spends $7.50 on a coffee there.“

“Just picked up a bottle of straight bourbon whiskey. I’m traveling /working . Picked up the bottle from Sam’s club lol. But lemme tell ya !! It’s great !!! Smooth tasty and quality stuff . Nice finish !!! Thanks everyone at traverse City whiskey Company?don’t hate I’m drinking out of plastic at a hotel ?“
“We tucked into the bar on a Saturday night for an early evening cocktail. They have a Saturday happy hour menu! So...the lovely barkeep took our drink order quickly so we could partake. A shared Caesar salad and zoodle/pasta dish later and we are sufficiently suffonsified. House made sauces are delicious (we tried the marinara but I'd like to try palomino next time) and there is no pressure to drink like fish or overindulge in food. DJ was setting up as we were leaving, so I'm sure the hospitable atmosphere only improves. We'll return.“
“Super impressed with The Oakland always. Their staff is always super knowledgeable and ready to tell you about their cocktails or make a recommendation. Recently went during their Happy Hour (every day but Saturday, open-6:31, I believe!), and had such a delightful time at the bar. The drinks were as strong and smooth as ever and super unique without being pretentious. So glad Ferndale has an adorable speakeasy like this!“
“We went to Public house on a Saturday for dinner. We were a group of 12 people for celebrating my birthday (it was a surprise by my husband). Our experience was great. The service was phenomenal and the food and drinks were really good. All our guests loved the place. Also, specially we had a couple of vegan friends that they really enjoyed the vegan menu. Our server, Sophia was very attentive and professional.“
“Good is very good. Crispy breading on the fried foods is delicious. The chicken strips, fries, and fried pickles (cutely named frickles here) are top notch. The menu is pretty eclectic. I really like the sporty and relaxed atmosphere.Parking: Not a huge parking lot but sufficient ?“
“This is a must stop spot, great atmosphere, Staff friendly and professional, Food is fast and delicious as well as the prices you can’t beat the price of a good Taco, Nacho or Cuban Sandwich and if that’s not what your in the mood for you could always try one of there signature pizzas…The Spicey Mexican is one of my all time favorites…“
“We got there 11:30pm on a Thursday night and this place was still serving food and drinks.We didn’t order any cocktails, but the server/bartender looked like he could really serve up some great drinks. The variety of boozed stacked on the shelf behind the bar looked like a good assortment with high quality selections.So glad this place was still open and the kitchen was still serving take out orders and in house dining at this hour.Music was relaxed lounge and there’s about 4 large TVs in the space to watch sports. Outdoor patio seating is also provided with umbrellas.This place is a perfect size and we were pleased with the service and the food. Inside has about 35-40 seats including the bar.Will be back next time I’m in Shelby for some late eats. The menu really has everything you could want with a Good selection to choose from.“
“My new favorite Irish pub. Love coming here with my family to watch sports games. Always very busy! The food is great. Lots of options & good beer. The bar is very big & I love the overall vibe. The spinach dip, cheese bread and seasoned fries are a few of my favs!“
“Went there for the first time Saturday. Had a great time! Our server Tony was awesome and Bill the owner (hope I remembered the name right) was a pleasure to meet. The food is awesome! You were not wrong about that. Thank you so much! We will be back! Maybe too often. Lol.“
“Great atmosphere & the food was delicious. They have the best bartenders & the vibe is just right. Everyone is friendly & NO DRAMA.I was solo and the Security guy made sure I was safe getting to my car. Our Bar is a vibe that anyone would enjoy.“
“I’m never a person to leave review, more so look at reviews to see if I want to go somewhere. But the food here and the service has been so awesome I’m breaking my old habit and leaving a review. After two times here this place has quickly become one of our favorites ever. The pasta and pizza are so good, and the mozzarella sticks are like crack in cheese form. No matter who you are you’ll love the food here“
“The Mrs & I tried out a new dinning Eats. Let me tell you It was an amazing treats. For a 1st time it was truly Goblastic. I stuck with a simple shrimp plate & the Mrs scallops but wow the flavors and our chef were out of this world. The food is moderately priced but you get a lot. This will definitely be a "go back soon" Yum Yum Goblin Approved foodery.“
“Just visited Condado in Troy for some tacos and margaritas, and I've got to say, they nailed it. The Lucy’s Fire and Korean tacos were outstanding, each packed with unique and robust flavors. Their guacamole? Spectacular – fresh and rich. And the margaritas were some of the best I've had – refreshing and well-balanced. Service was top-notch too; the staff was knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend for a solid taco and margarita experience.“
“The food here is better than we could have ever imagined. It has become a food staple in our family with the great deals it makes for an affordable and delicious dinner! We love the hot pretzel appetizers and the large burgers that are very generously portioned. We have been here multiple times and have never had something that we didn’t like! All of their food was kept at a manageable price range -and not to mention that all of there food is portioned to feed at least a few. The beverages were reasonably priced and fantastic tasting. We highly recommend the city grill and bar to you and your family.Dietary restrictions: There are many gluten free and vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: my kids love it here they have great food and my kids are pretty picky they love there food and the variety that is given. There is endless options of all my kids favorites (burger, quesadillas, etc) they are very flexible when it comes to making slight changes my children will request for no onions and it will come out as wanted. I highly recommend and will strongly suggest this to you and your children!“
“Found this place because I wanted somewhere close to the water/lake, and I saw that the reviews were very good. So I brought my grandfather (100y.o.) to have brunch and it was quite excellent! The restaurant is so beautifully put together and very clean! The staff was helpful and friendly. And the food was so yummy!! I plan on returning very soon with my group of friends for a lovely (boozy hehehe) brunch!! 10/10!!“
“Went to petty cash last night and honestly I can’t wait to go again! We sat at the bar and had great service! The lemon drops we had were great and consistent, considering we had 3 they taste the same each time! EVERYTHING WE ORDERED WAS DELICIOUS. Caesar salad, crab cake, lamb ribs (top tier), fries, Brussel sprouts, and pita chips and dip. Our food arrived hot and within a timely manner. The ambiance was nice! Parking was fair. Pricing was reasonable. I love that the music was on and at mid volume. It wasn’t so loud that I couldn’t hear the person next to me. The bathrooms were clean and unisex. 10/10“
“My server informed me at the very end of my meal that the restaurant has lied to customers for over a year about having gluten free carrot cake and they have just been feeding people with intolerances gluten containing cake. So disrespectful. I got glutened after I spent $200 on my meal and was assured I had chosen gluten free dishes and precautions were being taken. Like look, I get it. Food allergies are a pain in the *ss but if you can't accommodate people with them don't lie to your customers. There are lots of other places in the metro area who do take allergies and medical conditions seriously. Way to ruin my birthday. Im going to be sick for a whole week because I have Celiac Disease. Thanks a ton.“
“I was there on Saturday evening. This place was quite busy but I loved the way they were attending every guest and we were able to get our table within 10-15 minutes, I appreciate the gesture.The place has open sitting area with cosy couches and very breezy, perfect outdoor place for spring/summer evening.They have a great selection of Mexican food and drinks. Their draft beer menu is quite limited but you will find options of bottled beer/cocktail options to choose from.“

“I had my wedding at Valentine cocktail lounge and they were absolutely incredible to us. The drinks, service, the ambiance, everything about it was beautiful and fun. Perfect for the romantic day we wanted! Bartenders make amazing drinks and Heather (event manager) works with you through the whole process, she is so responsive and fun!“
“I ate here on Wednesday night (Feb 7 2024) with a large group, 12 people for a friend's birthday, and it was fantastic! The food and drinks were incredible, but I was most impressed with our server, a guy with a black beanie and beard. Our group split our check into 6 different checks and I imagine it was such a pain to organize everything given we all had multiple plates and drinks. He was so friendly, helpful, and just a great server. Thanks for a great experience! I have also been once before and it was great then too. Love this place“
“Where do I start? Bobcat Bonnie's offers gluten free which is a must for this girl. Their 24 karat wings are out of this world. Uncle Jessie's brunch option...this list could go on and on. Excellent atmosphere every time we visit. Creative alcohol beverages. Mamosa bar anyone? I highly recommend anyone who has not been to check them out!!“
“I love this place!! been a few times and sit at the bar. Megan and Lauren are the dynamic duo and give great service. I highly recommend the shredded chicken taco and pork carnitas taco. I usually get the 401 or Blackberry Margarita. Both are great drinks. Will be back in the future.“
“We recently hosted a baby shower at Pendy's and had a fabulous experience! Susan was so attentive and involved as we planned and the day of the event everything went flawlessly. The space, the service, the food and beverages...all top notch. Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking to host an event!“
“This place was great. Reserved this restaurant for moms 71st bday, as she loves Mexican food. Staff was super accommodating with our fairly large group. Manager Demetry initially handled resv's, before handing off to Dawn and Shannon. They were all very good. Food was great...atmosphere was eventually cool. Nice place “

“Second time to dine here. If you are on the fence just try them out! The burgers are just delicious. That yummy beef taste and texture of what beef used to be like! There are a selection of burgers with sandwiches created with a variety of beef and lamb.A few chicken sandwiches, crafted sandwiches and a big person style grilled cheese(lol) I will be trying at my third visit. They use beef tallow in their fryer so everything tastes amazing. Fried sides sell at a shareable price. The feta fries are yummy. It is always a pleasure to receive a dish that is different from the norm! The short rib nachos are amazing too. The beef melts like cotton candy with great crispy nachos that hold up to their toppings. Just added a tad of salt. We have had the bacon me crazy burger and smash burgers. Both are amazing. They have gluten free burger buns. My partner had the Tarzan cocktail and a whisky sour. The bar tenders rock mixed craft cocktails here and use egg whites in the sours demonstrating old school crafting. Lemonade is okay. Variety of milkshakes with and without alcohol. Great for singles , date night or family dining with a nice size bar to dine at or try a craft cocktail. Staff is very approachable and attentive. They are just open from a remodel. The inside is higher end looking than what you would think for a burger location but this is more than just a burger! I have always said ,”I would rather eat a great cheeseburger than a steak because finding a great burger does not happen that often and when it does, you just have to go for it !” There is a level of darkened elegance with a relaxed vibe. Great place to unwind and dine after a hard work week! They are trying a new menu and items. At times they may run out of a product ,however, in keeping everything fresh from scratch this can happen. I will go with their flow for food that is freshly prepared by a business that cares. If I were to pick a restaurant this reminds me of it would be Regale Craft Food in that the food is always freshly prepared from scratch with respect abd served in a cozy relaxing environment. Your choices are not necessarily all small plates here ,however, every bit is worth it. Just divide everything up and pass multiple dishes around. They do not have a large dining room and seating has moved fairly well. We just dined at a local bar/restaurant and they charged $19.00 for a burger and fries. My double patty smash burger with house made chips which are amazing was $14.00. Naked Burger uses Grass-Fed Dry-Aged Piedmontese Beef which is tasty and juicy. Their buns are yummy too! Old school quality and amazing flavor so worth it!Vegetarian options: They have many fresh ingredients to almost make what you request.Dietary restrictions: GF buns,VG MARKED ITEMS“
“First time at Mr. G's. We had reservations and were promptly seated. Immediately served water and waiter came and took our drink orders. Brought bread basket and drinks quickly. He told us about the specials. We were not rushed at all throughout our meal. We ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and Aged Prosciutto as an appetizer. The Oysters were terrific. Aged Prosciutto came with aged Parmesan, olives, and roasted peppers. Also delicious. A crisp Caesar salad was enjoyed and the Lobster Bisque was delicious. Our entrees were the 9 ounce filet with the creamy feta spinach. The steak was quite tender and the spinach tasty. The lobster pasta was excellent. Served with chunks of lobster mixed with the linguine and a small tail on top. The sauce was spicy and quite delicious. Great cocktails were enjoyed. We were quite full so we did not order dessert. Definitely an enjoyable experience. Beautiful restaurant with a nice ambience. Will definitely return!“
“I've been here many times with friends and family and we're often treated really well. Sometimes the kitchen gets a little flooded with orders, so it could take a while for your food to come out. But the food has been really good every time I've gotten it!“
“Very beautiful atmosphere, and the interior was to die for. The service was nice, but we had to wait a long time to be seated when there was no wait at all. The drinks were nice though, we had ordered mocktails. I ordered the strawberry spritz, and it tasted very sweet and delicious. We didn’t try the food, but it looked nice from reading it off the menu. I can say that some of the items are a little overpriced.“
“Royal Park is offering a Holiday Pop-up Bar Thursday-Sat until 12/31 and it is GORGEOUS! There are no reservations and first come, first serve but even for a Saturday night, I only waited about 30 min and it was worth it! You feel like you’ve stepped into a whimsical, Christmas wonderland as soon as you walk in! They were considerably busy but the service was friendly and prompt, and the drinks are festive and strong! I loved the “Oh Christmas Tree,” and I cannot wait to try more!“
“This was my 5th time at Mackenzie's and finally able to sit at the bar. Adam, the bartender, was friendly, engaging, and provided great food recommendation. The perch - lightly blackened and I wasn't disappointed. Great local bar - clean, friendly and good jukebox. Would definitely recommend.“
