“Great food, people, atmosphere & entertainment. Right on the corner, right on the price, right on the way home“

“The brisket is the best anywhere. We love the homemade potato salad. The grown up mac and cheese is delicious. The service is always perfect. We were just there and we've been going there since it opened. Olivia was an excellent server.“

“Hazel’s is one of those no-brainer places you hit with friends or family when you’re looking for something casual. Some dishes are better than others but overall the seafood is fresh and tasty. The servers have all been very tentative and nice over the years which makes for a positive experience. This is definitely a place I will continue to patron and recommend.“

“Super fun bar, great service and food!“

“I was pleasantly surprised the first time I went there. Gridiron is your typical neighborhood dive bar with lots of friendly regulars and a charismatic owner. It reminds me of Cheers ( the old sit com). The drinks are inexpensive and generous. A vodka and cranberry was only $3.00, and the bottle of Budwiser was $2.75 . I got a 1/2 pound cheese burger with everything on it for$6.75. I couldn't believe the prices. I would definitely recommend it and have told all my friends about it.

Parking: There is plenty of parking

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“

“$5.99 burger & fries, with a whiskey sour 👌😌🥃 I’ll definitely be back, and only wish I had stopped in years sooner!“

“it's a great bar good food, French dip is the best you'll have for miles corned beef sandwich is slow smoked the au ju is very good best I've had it is a small kitchen but we'll worth your wait“

“MBTB is a local treasure! The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for a date night, friends getting together, or even stopping in by yourself! They have something for everyone and the service has always been amazing. I love the commitment to Michigan products from the wine to the snacks all the way to the merchandise. They also offer so many fun events and classes and put a lot of thought and creativity into everything they do! I have been to all of the locations and each one is wonderful. Cheers!“

“So far really good“

“We had a drink and the pretzel bites we awesome“

“Every dish I’ve had at the Pines has been delicious as well as generous servings. However, you must try their French Fries. I have never in years of eating fries from multiple restaurants have I tasted anything as delicious as the Pines French fries.“

“Is a great local bar. Nice cheers type set up as the name implies. Has a pool table with lots of room which is awesome! Great immediate service by Lisette. She knew everyone in the bar again just like the show. Really enjoyed myself at this bar!!“

“This place has great food!! it's definitely a neighborhood bar so if you're from the neighborhood you'll be comfortable there!! Go see my girl Tiffany she's got you!! Owner is super nice let's the party get fun but not out of control...I'll be back“

“The place to be! It's so great coming there and feeling like family. Amazing food, awesome creative drinks and the prices are so reasonable. I can't say enough about how much I love the staff! They are all my friends from going there. Forget about Olive Garden, CLI is "when you're here you're family!"“

“I went to Time Out on a Friday night around midnight in search of some late night grub. It seemed as if this was the only place open in Waterford! I tried the chicken fingers and fries, and they were great! ?? You might say how hard can that be to cook? I've been to other places that it seemed like I told them to cook a dinner impossible. Anyway, the waitstaff was awesome and attentive, plenty of TV screens, there was a great dj spinning that night as well. About 30 people came in not too long after me and atmosphere livened up considerably. The Time Out is definitely a vibe! Oh yeah, I don't drink, but I can vouch for the Coca-Cola tasting good, too ?“

“The Food and Service was EXCELLENT“

“West End is comfortable, sterling, food flavorful and reasonable price. I had the Wagu burger $18.00. The bar seats are tall and comfortable. From the decor, food and comfort. This bar is over the top. In our neighborhood we have a "Cheers"“

“We had dinner at Tribu last weekend with another couple and it was one of the best dining experiences. Everything from the ambience, staff, customer service and all of their FOOD were exceptional!! The menu was a soft launch menu as it was their grand opening, but there were so many options that we ended up ordering multiple appetizers, entrees and all of the desserts! Everything was absolutely delicious. The duck wings, tagliatelle, and filet were so flavorful. Great food, great company and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back for more!“

“Best ribs I’ve had in a long time, great food decent service prices are in line with other good pub food places we will be back!“

“This bar has no food.. You are however welcome to bring in any outside food or have it delivered..

For the people who don't understand- ordering a water and not paying for it doesn't make you a customer-It's not illegal to kick out somebody who is loitering.

This bar lets in plenty of people who need to warm up or use the bathroom. They're real easy to deal with as long as everybody is respectful of one another.

Ordering a water and taking up a seat in a bar that only makes money off of selling drinks and then wondering why you got asked to leave isnt ridiculous But maybe it's why you don't own a business yourself. 🧘‍♀️

Jukebox is usually going and the drinks are cheap cheap.

Monday through Sunday, Noon until 2:00 a.m.

Pretty simple hours.“

“We had a lunch we ordered chicken, tandoori and chicken biryani. The food was tasty The service was excellent. The Restaurant was extra clean. I will recommend this Restaurant .“

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

“Excellent food as always and the service is A-1“

“I’ve been here several times. The last time was in April 2025. We ordered a glass of tomato juice and a white Russian from the waiter in the comedy club. He returned quite a while later, to tell us he did not have either of those things. Now, when we ate at the restaurant upstairs before the show, I confirmed with the bartender that he indeed had plain tomato juice available. They also had the ingredients, I’m sure, for a white Russian in the upstairs bar. Can you imagine how much business you’re missing just because a waiter didn’t want to go upstairs and get two common drinks? Just a thought.“

“Friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and servers were excellent. Their cookies are worth the wait; hot and fresh from the oven! We enjoyed it so much, we went twice while we were in town for vacation.“

“Delicious waffle tenders extra tender and juicy“
