“Hands down our new favorite restaurant. Our server Chris made it feel just like dinner at a friends!“

“Visited on Sun 12/21 and they were so busy... but we got in very quickly! Our server, Brianna B was awesome! So sweet and friendly, she helped make our holiday lunch so much fun! And the food was delicious... came out HOT.. and that made all the difference!“

“We tried axe throwing on vacation several years ago. We saw The Hub while on I-75 and decided to stop by and do it again. Surprisingly, we were able to get a time slot pretty quickly. The coach, Josh, was absolutely fantastic and helpful. We had a blast. The food was great. We’ll definitely be back. Prices were reasonable and the building is spacious. Even being somewhat busy on a Saturday, it didn’t feel crowded.“

“Birthday celebration with life long friends was perfect. Delicious food, drinks, great service, with a cozy ambience. I give Oakland Kitchen & Bar a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’m so impressed! We had our wedding dinner here, 25 people. The room was such a vibe, they put the table together beautifully, and THE FOOOOOOD 🔥 Everyone was very happy with their meals. The presentation and service were excellent. Our servers Morgan and Shannon were attentive and sooo nice. I would recommend a private event here to anyone. Thank you 220 for a great evening. We’ll be back!“

“Took 2 friends to dinner to celebrate their birthdays. Server was very professional and let us enjoy our cocktails before we ordered appetizers, salad and main courses. One friend ordered sea bass, the other ordered lamb chops and I ordered a filet. My friends main courses were fine. Unfortunately my filet was ordered rare and came out raw. My server agreed and took the filet back to the kitchen. Second filet came out, and again the steak was raw. Third time the filet came out medium rare to medium. Server took back the filet and asked if I'd like to try again or something else. I said no and he said he would send the manager over. Manager asked what the problem was. He should have already spoken to the server to know and then just apologize for the problem. I told him I wasn't interested in another meal and just do what he thought was right. My filet was taken off the bill, but should have at least taken the second round of drinks of the bill.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“My wife and Enjoy the customer service every time I hate I don’t remember our waitress name she was awesome, she knew the menu, she came over to us every time on time, she was great! This is my wife’s favorite she love the Ribeyes well done, Ocean Prime never miss with her stakes. That olive oil truffle popcorn should Be sold in stores, I never had popcorn this good ever and it’s to live for!!!“

“We are regulars at Stuffed Bun and can’t imagine not spending our Sunday morning with them. The food is always excellent and the staff make us feel like family. 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 drinks and night scene. Had a lot of fun their last night.“

“Love the food & service here“

“We haven’t been to The Fed in a long time! Like 2 years, we always celebrate our birthdays or Anniversaries ❤️ always a good time there. Last night we went there on a whim and Andrew Schneider was amazing. From the minute, he greeted us at the table it was top-notch throughout the whole meal. We’ll definitely be back. We definitely miss the vibe. Thank you Andrew(Drew) for an incredible experience and service. And of course, the food was fantastic!“

“Everything we've ever had to eat at the Deer Lake Inn has been Very good...We especially like the fresh bread, the 306 Salad, Martha's Vineyard Salad, Fish Tacos, Chicken Tortellini, Chicken Pineapple Sandwich and the Pizza! YUM! SO Good!“

“Good Breakfast. Good service and appreciate their efforts“

“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“

“you go there you're family...“

“We had 29 seniors eat here on Saturday, May 4th. The food was delicious and served fast! Gabby was our server. She was accomodating and very cordial. I highly recommend this restaurant and will return the next time we are in the area. Thanks for 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!“

“Great good… friendly, helpful staff!“

“This was our second time there. We did eat in the bar area this time as there was a large party of young ladies in the main dining area. We wanted to be able to hear our friends. The food once again was delicious. Our server Orlando, although very busy was attentive and our meals came out quickly and hot. We will return soon! 👍👍“

“So far really good“

“Today, I went somewhere else to eat the Seafood linquine and I ate here before I realize Eddie's Gourmet was better for me and I'm convinced I'll be back. I just wish they delivered. I'm a fan.“

“This is a hidden gem, great choice of food, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The ladies serving at the bar are amazing, I always leave looking forward to my next visit.“

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

“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.“

“Always a favorite restaurant for truly delicious (and often more uniquely prepared) food. The butternut squash pasta feature was fantastic, the service was perfectly attentive yet laid back, and the general vibes of the restaurant were relaxing yet elegant. Will return as always.“

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

“Amazing dinner on a whim on our way home from Detroit. Everything (service, atmosphere, food, prices) was better than we could have hoped for. We will go out of our way to eat here again. Thanks for a great experience!“

“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! ❤️“

“The food is good, our waitress/server was great. However, I had a reservation for a birthday celebration and the hostess sat my party of 4 behind a wall, at a cold patio window in the back of the restaurant. The entire restaurant needs to be freshened up: the windows were dirty, the patio had "stuff" all over, the menus are very worn and the tables have scuff marks. The restaurant was full of people, seems to me there isn't any money going back into this establishment.“

“Surprised that this place isnt at least 4.5 stars! I have ordered lunch from here multiple times now and have had amazing food every time. Ive tried their pizza, a couple salads, a pasta dish, tomato soup & grilled cheese, and ALL of it is good. It's a bit pricier but it's really worth it. I work in the area and grab lunch from a variety of different places but Nordstrom has the tastiest food.“

“Wanted a relaxing place to enjoy a lunch and decided to try since I figured with the quality of merchandise and service in the store, they would be similar. While you order at a counter, you seat yourself and then wait staff takes over. The dining room is quiet and nicely decorated. The wait staff is very professional and there with a refill or checking on you.

While the menu is not large, you can find salads, pizzas, entrees, and appetizers. A couple different kinds of soups also. There is a kid's menu which adults could order from. Since I am not a huge eater, I ordered from it the grilled cheese and cup of tomato soup. I got the cheddar chive biscuits, taking one home. It came with a drink so I got my diet Coke.

All the food was well above average. I really enjoyed the grilled cheese which was on artisan bread. The cheddar chive biscuit was delicious. Fresh fruit was included with the meal. They don't have a dessert menu, but a little chocolate is brought to you at the end of the meal.

If you have a more normal American appetite, you should find your fill. The pizza is large enough to share.

Wonderful place to enjoy a lunch break from shopping especially if you want a meal not fast food in the food court. I will be back to enjoy another meal.“

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

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

“Company Holiday Party!! Food is always fantastic, and drink service for SO many people in the back room was amazing as always.“

“On our latest visit (January 2026), we had an early dinner - try the crispy chicken sandwich (served on a croissant) with kale tobouli. We had a window table and enjoyed the wintery Birmingham streetscape while we dined and drank.. They still have an impressively stocked bar with knowledgeable, personable barkeeps. Try a flight of spirits and explore the full gourmet bar food menu.“

“We had the most amazing Easter brunch at Madam! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a festive vibe. The warmth and friendliness of the staff (management checked in repeatedly and server Rishikesh was perfect), the delicious food, gorgeous setting of the restaurant, and pictures with the Easter bunny made this a special and memorable holiday. Our party enjoyed short rib sandwiches, lobster rolls, crème brulee French toast, omelettes, eggs benedict and more!“

“great food, great service, clean and affordable“

“Not bad for hotel restaurant food. I like their sliders and wings. Not greasy at allI saw other people get club sandwich and they are huge so even the menu is small but the quality is not bad if you don't want to venture out to Southfield to get food late at night since Southfield is not the nicest town in Detroit“

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