50 Best Bar & Grill near Utica

“Joe was our server tonight and I just have to say he did a fantastic job!!! When we asked about the appetizers he led us in the right direction. We had the lobster bake with pita and it was so delicious. Our main dish and drinks were on point. Kudos to the cooks and bartenders too. My smoked old fashioned was super yummy.“

“Mark was so polite and helpful from the time we walked in the door until we walked out! From the very good drinks, to the great food and the excellent service. We loved everything about the experience and will most definitely be back!“

“Great food, Great service“

“We enjoy places that offer a Happy Hour which includes FOOD options. I do not drink alcohol, but I enjoy trying new places and offering a happy hour menu with food allies me to do that. Clam chowder was good, wings were ok, we did ask for extra crispy but we didn't get that ( I think many kitchens are on auto pilot and don't always look at the guest's request, this happens a lot with french fries being undercooked), dynamite shrimp was good but I could have used more seasoning. Brit was our server and was fantastic. I also appreciated that the other staff members were helping each other by clearing plates, bowls, etc. . Great causal place.“

“My wife ordered on Door Dash. One of the best Cuban sandwiches I've had. Gonna have to check the place out in person“

“We hosted my toddlers birthday party here last month. We had an excellent experience. The food was ready right on time and delicious. We had multiple servers who were so attentive and kind. I don’t think anyone had an empty glass at any point. It was a Saturday evening with a packed bar and we couldn’t even tell in the side room. We will absolutely host another event there in the future!“

“Cy Mahoney’s is one of my favorite go-to bars in Rochester Hills. Great food, solid drinks, and a laid-back, friendly vibe. Felicia, the manager, is awesome, and Andy the bartender is great — they really make the place welcoming and keep you coming back.“

“As Toby Keith would say, “I love this bar”! I just found my new home away from home. So cute inside. TV’s, pool, darts…etc. Amazing food. Which they are going to expand their menu. Keno is coming soon. ? They have fish for Fridays. I’m hooked. ? I had the garden fresh pizza and it was fabulous. My girlfriend had the Guido burger and she said it was heaven. Met George, one of the owners and cooks, very friendly! Looking forward to my next visit here.“

“Good atmosphere, great food and awesome bartenders“

“Best burger in town B“

“How come nobody is mentioning the great pizza?!!!!“

“My wife and I had lunch here for the first time today and I had the “pepper burger” and my wife had the “chicken wrap”. My burger was one of the best I have had. My wife says her wrap was really good too. Our waitress was so friendly too. Nice place inside with many tv’s, pool table and darts. The food was great so give it a try.“

“Delicious food and excellent selection of Michigan draft beers. Great atmosphere as well.“

“The staff was super nice, and the food was SO GOOD!!! Yummy... I had never been there before, and stopped in to get an order to go on Sunday for game day!!!. It was very quick for as much food as we ordered, and the atmosphere was so friendly.. if I weren't driving and already in a hurry, I would have taken the guys up on a shot... *:)“

“This is always our go to when it comes to going out with our 2 year old. All the staff and so friendly and so are the patrons too.“

“Took our first trip to this place just last night. Has a little bit of everything for those not looking to stay seated during dinner. Food took forever though and was decent. Waitress was a little lost with constantly asking our table of 6 what they ordered and whose drink went with whose order. Other than that the atmosphere was pretty cool. We played some cornhole, which was decently priced by the hour ($10). Plus they had classic arcade games, free to play like Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Frogger, and Donkey Kong along with 90’s classics like Mortal Kombat, NFL Blitz and House of the Dead. Plus over a dozen pinballs. Arcade area was a sight to see since most places now use carnival or ticket games. They also had a poker room which was full. Did not see any pool tables, darts or disc golf so not sure if those get removed during poker night. I’d consider coming back but not during their busier times. It was more than half capacity but id imagine an even further delay on food or your wait staff being really lost handling more than 20 orders at multiple tables. Either way I’d recommend it as long as you aren’t really hungry going in or don’t like huge crowds.“

“Nice time Saturday night. First timers. Good band, service, burgers and cold beers. We’ll be back!!“

“Love, love, love it!“

“Over 5 stars recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The atmosphere, staff, and food was all phenomenal at Whiskey Rae's! The smell, taste and love in the food. It's gourmet homemade food with a twist 🤌 Much respect and appreciation for the Chef Drew. Excellent hospitality and service from our down to earth server Isla!“

“Great food! Great atmosphere! Nena is always the best server! Always fun playing board games on Tuesday.“

“I ordered the lobster roll with truffle fries. It was the closest thing to Main that I’ve ever had here in Michigan. It was fantastic. The tall owner checked on me several times to make sure that everything was perfect. The ambience is incredible. This is a must stop if you’re ever in Rochester.“

“Our server Brianna was the best! We had two tables so the little kids could feel like big kids since we were celebrating an 11th bday. She served their booth (3 kids) and our table (3 moms) and was very attentive going between the two. The food was really good too. We had a great dining experience because of Brianna!“

“Great place to wind down at the end of a long day. The wait staff is top notch!“

“Good food. Great service. Ask for Montana, she was great. I had a burger, friends had wings. Burger was good, friends raved about the wings. If we ever come back to the area, we’ll definitely visit again.“

“Such a great place! We both had the salmon, Probably the best prepared salmon I have ever had and cooked perfectly. They had a very good selection of wines at good prices. I would highly recommend this restaurant. It is cozy and relaxed, never really super busy and yet consistently good food and friendly staff“

“great food and atmosphere,“

“Every time I've been in the Metro, I've gotten great service and the food was outstanding!! Even in carryout form, the food is excellent!! The next time I put together a big party, I'm thinking I'll be taking it to the Metro!! I only wish that they would make their cream of asparagus soup more often. I can make a meal of just that soup!! It is excellent!! They just don't offer it enough!!“

“best food i have had in some time“

“Dude. We went here last night…AMAZING. Food was great. Drinks were great. Music was A VIBE. I feel bad I don’t remember the server’s name who was outside on the patio, but genuinely some of the best service I’ve ever had, and I worked in the industry for 10+ years. He made great recommendations, was running his butt off, and just overall did a great job. You guys keep doing exactly what you’re doing. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“My husband and I live just down the road from Mug Pub, and it’s become one of our favorite local spots! We love the fun, lively atmosphere, the fantastic drinks, and the friendly staff. The food is great too. We highly recommend Mug Pub for anyone looking for a fun sports bar experience!“

“Great restaurant for a birthday gathering! Our great server (sorry I forgot her name) was so very attentive to us! She checked on us often and never kept us waiting for anything! They had live music. The food was great! The drinks were great! The service was great! 5Apr25“

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

“Where do I even begin? The second we walked in the door, everyone was so wonderful! We took our twins out to celebrate their second birthday! Our waiter Nicholas was so kind and patient! He made sure our babies food was put in quickly and came out hot and fresh. (They were getting hangry. haha) Nicholas gave us some recommendations and they did not disappoint! 👏🏽 Everything we got was fresh, hot, and delicious, from the appetizer, to our meals, to the twins' meals. Even my mocktail was spot on! Their manager, Amanda, was who delivered our food. She was so sweet and cheerful!! She came back over later on to check on us and wish our babies a happy birthday! The entire restaurant was clean and well maintained. You can truly tell the staff enjoy their jobs. Nicholas and Amanda made sure we had a great first experience. My hubby and I have decided to come back, minus babies, and have a date night so we can further enjoy the extensive, and yummy looking, menu. 10/10 highly recommend.“
