“Seafood pan bake was INCREDIBLE. Prices are high but the amount of seafood in the dish justified the cost. Waitress was a little pushy about ordering and it wasn't crowded enough to justify that. Other than that though I would definitely recommend this place“

“An attentive and friendly staff, premium cocktails, great food and a lovely atmosphere can all be found at The Birmingham Pub!“

The food is delicious and portions are generous. A few of our favorites are the country omelette, breakfast burrito, cinnamon pancakes and chicken Greek salad. 5 stars ⭐️“

“Great Place. My complaint. NO BLUE CHEESE DRESSING. I Had Chicken Strawberry Salad once a week. Every now and then since they quit serving Bleu cheese. Never after today when We asked the server who to address our concerns to, 2 servers pointed to the owner who picked up our plates and pretended he couldn't talk English. RUDE“

“We came here for a rehearsal dinner and we were in a private room. I was surprised that everything was on point, even with the restaurant being so busy . The food was delicious.

We had our drinks and we were able to order very quickly because we were all hungry after a long day of being at the expo. The steak was amazing which most people got. I also got the bowl of chili which I can tell you to 100% get. I will definitely go here again and take people here great atmosphere great people great service.“

“Stopped into Alberts today for a burger an fries. Great food! Excellent and friendly service, and a decent price. What more could you ask for! Stop by when you are in Auburn Hills. You can even eat inside unlike some of the other local places!“

“Very fancy and expensive restaurant. One of the few restaurants in metro Detroit (and likely the whole of Michigan) that serves Baked Alaska. They do not flame it in front of you nor does it come with sparklers like some restaurants may do. Still it was delicious. Jamie was a great waitress, friendly and in a good mood. There is no parking lot for Forrest, however after 5:30 pm and on weekends you can use the AAA Birmingham parking lot which is right next door. Very nice interior. The water glasses are small. There is a candle at the table.“

“Great food and nice vibe! We came after the Lathrup Village Community Foundation’s 2025 Summer Concert Series. Awesome time.“

“Amazing experience. Our new place & it's super cozy❤❤❤“

“Great atmosphere and amazing food!! Nothing I don’t love ❤️“

“Last night my family and myself went to Grand Tavern for supper after a long day. Our waiter Xhorxh was absolutely amazing! Personally, I have dietary restrictions and explained to him that I am unable to have gluten, dairy, or egg. I had already pre-creeped the menu before arriving so I could find a meal that would be easy to hopefully adapt to my dietary restrictions. After explaining my restrictions Xhorxh was ON IT! He immediately spoke to the chef and the chef adapted my meal to my restrictions. Xhorxh did tell me that there could be a possible cross contamination with gluten on one of my sides and explained that they couldn’t guarantee that that one thing would be gluten free. Listen, not very often in the service industry do you come across a wait staff member or chef that made sure to cross all of the boxes. I ordered brussel sprouts as the appetizer without the cheese (I could have had three plates of that it was so good) and the cedar plank salmon and ordered two veggies as my side. IT was DELISH!!!!! Xhorxh also made sure that our drinks were constantly filled and took amazing care of our family. My MIL even made a comment after we received our meals how she really liked him as a waiter. I wished we had a Grand Tavern where we lived but unfortunately we are 8 hours away but we will absolutely be back when visiting family! ❤️“

“Everything! Good food and great service! 😋“

“Had not been here for a salad in a long time. Their Chef Salad was just as good or better than I remembered. Lots of fresh tasty vegetables, meats cheese. Freshly baked Pita Bread and Salad Dressing was just right! Waitress was wonderful! Very helpful. Happy with the price and prompt service. Highly recommend!! I will be returning a lot more regularly.“

“We have found our place! It’s our go-to for happy hour and for a great dinner experience! We have never been disappointed!! The staff is friendly and very accommodating!!“

“had such a wonderful experience at J. Alexander’s! From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Every single especially ally the waiter! we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and professional — they made sure our drinks stayed full, our food came out perfectly, and that we had everything we needed without even having to ask.

The manager also stopped by our table to check in and personally make sure we were enjoying our meal, which really made us feel valued and appreciated. It’s rare to see a team work so well together to create a seamless dining experience, and they truly nailed it.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was absolutely top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending J. Alexander’s to friends and family!“

“One of my favorite places to eat always Fresh, I’m actually here now“

“Having had the pleasure of visiting here on multiple occasions across a long span of time, I can say consistency is key, and that word is etched into the walls of this fine establishment, serving as one of its main ethos's.

You can visit at anytime of day, and get exactly what you ordered, how you ordered it, with rarely a deviation, and in a time of constant change, a bit of stability in your dining experience can mean the absolute world.

The service is impeccable, with the waitstaff always aware when you would like to order, when the food is ready, and when you need a refill among other things.

If you're looking for an all-around fantastic American-style dining experience and are in the area, why not visit and see for yourself.“

“Once you make it past the gauntlet of teens and kids selling packaged snacks at the door, the array of scents at the perfume counter, and shoppers out with their children, you can find on Nordstrom’s 3rd floor a cafe with a view of the other side of the shopping center and the skywalk. Service was good and so was the food, but things get hectic, loud, and slow with an increase of customers. Highly recommend the cheddar chive biscuit warmed.“

“Delicious!! I've tried the beef and chicken. Both were great.“

“If you’re in Birmingham, MI, make sure to visit Townhouse. We dined outside and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere along with fantastic drinks. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, truly a highlight of the evening. Our server, Maya, was outstanding—she went above and beyond to ensure our table was well cared for, with impeccable timing and a genuine warmth. Townhouse offers a memorable dining experience that’s definitely worth a visit!“

“We love it here! We make special trips out the way to get the delicious and fresh food. We love the Roma tomato soup, the burger is so tender and amazing flavor from the cheddar cheese and the kalamata olive aioli is so unique and I love it even though I don’t love that version of olives.“

“One of the greatest experiences I’ve had ! great atmosphere , friendly staff , tasty food .“

“Krystal was a great hostess! Extremely attentive to our table. She made us feel “special”. She deserves a raise!“
