“Go there every Friday, best burger I’ve ever had every time. Staff is super nice always on it. If you can get Eric he’s incredible, drink in hand as soon as you finish remembers are tables order every week just an all around great guy. Would highly recommend stopping in for a burger.“

“Great place to hangout with friends or just grab a beer by yourself. Beers are well priced and their food is top notch.“

“The Locker Room Saloon will always hold a special place in our hearts—my husband and I actually met here back in 2018, and we’ve been locals ever since! We love coming here for a fun night out. The atmosphere is incredible—you can even stand on the bar stools and drum with drumsticks, which is such a blast. The drinks are great, the staff is always fun, and the music makes it the perfect party spot. Fargus, the DJ, is awesome—he always takes requests and keeps the vibe going with the best music. A huge shoutout to Liz and her husband, the owners, who are so accommodating and truly make us feel like family every time we walk in. This is one of our absolute favorite local spots, and we highly recommend it if you’re looking for a lively, fun night out!“

“This is Banquet and Restaurant open next to tana alena fashion at hall rd and they have good services and food .I recommended this place to everyone.“

“Outstanding D&B location, always clean, welcoming, well maintained, & organized.“

“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“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!“

“The best tacos I’ve ever had! That’s a bold and true statement for a foodie like me. I’ve ordered carry out from here before, but this time we ate here. Awesome vibes! The brisket tacos - Braised & Confused just overjoyed my taste buds. The pork taco -Korean Bbq was great. Fun place. Enjoyed some house margaritas and chips with guacamole dip. Staff were awesome, kept things lively. Best tacos in Royal Oak !“

“Absolutely, great place best burger around and Darko is a great host. If you haven’t been there, you need to go.“

“We hosted our baby shower at D’Amato’s in December, and it was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. It’s such an amazing spot for a private, intimate event—we had around 50 guests, and the space was perfect. The entire process was seamless, the food was unbelievable, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make the day special. Everything exceeded our expectations, and our guests are still talking about how wonderful it was. I would highly recommend D’Amato’s for any special occasion!“

“This place is very cool. You don’t have to worry about running out of coins or credits ect. A wristband at a very reasonable price gets you all the playing you could ask for! There are lots games to choose from. The best part is that the people who work there are so kind. They deserve good business! 🩷“

“My first experience ever in a cigar bar and I was VERY impressed. Highly recommend and will return.“

The crew was very attentive , we all enjoyed this venue. Is well located within royal oak sonylu know the drill for the parking. 😆“

“We got carry out, and it was fantastic“

“first time participating in drag queen bingo- Soo much fun! A room full of love, joy, laughter, and happiness! thank you queens for being a ray of sunshine in this world“

“I came in expecting the usual dive bar scene — sticky floors, cheap beer, neon signs buzzing in the corner. Instead, Rachael and Amy treated me like I had just bought the place. I ordered a regular draft and somehow it felt like they had tapped a keg exclusively in my honor.

Halfway through my second beer, Rachael joked about “opening a tab,” but what really happened is Amy slid me a crisp stack of bills and told me not to worry about it — like the bar itself was sponsoring me. By closing time, when most people were stumbling toward their Ubers, they casually mentioned my private helicopter was waiting out back behind the dumpsters. They then flew me across Italy.

If you want five-star luxury while drinking a $3 domestic, this is the only bar on earth where that’s possible. Dive bar? Maybe. But with Rachael and Amy behind the counter, it feels like Buckingham Palace with better beer.“

“First time here and the shrimp basket was great!! Emilia was such a delight! Super friendly!“

“I love this place. Their tacos are absolutely delicious. Queso and chips and their wings were really good as well. this is my go to place when I need tacos though.“

“Food was amazing as well as service!!!!“

“Came in for dinner…the bar manager, Renee (?), was our phenomenal server! The atmosphere was very welcoming, top notch service, and the most delicious drinks! Thanks for making my birthday extra special! 💜💜“

“we came in yesterday for a little family dinner. Danny, our server, was newly back to work at Pronto and I've never seen a server work so hard to accommodate people and ensure we were well cared for. the entire staff and clientele were so kind and encouraging. I spent most of the meal examining the lighting fixtures (there are so many!!!), and our family searched for disco balls (also SO MANY!). The food was amazing and the service was fast. we took our 14 year old there for dinner because they needed to see that there are safe, public spaces for them - and the awe and amazement in their eyes the whole time told me that we found our new "regular" spot. the music was fun, the service was spectacular, and the entire vibe was just lovely. and as a lighting nerd, they play with light beautifully, even during a routine dinner service. to the staff at Pronto - particularly Danny - thank you. as a mom trying to figure out how to best parent a child who isn't like me, you gave me immeasurable gifts last night. you gave my child hope for a future as an adult. we love the local youth programming available but it lacks a connection to adults who are thriving and living full, beautiful lives. seeing that in action was everything our kid needed and so much more. thank you.“

“Mackenzie's Tavern is a wonderful local drinking and dining experience with something for everyone. The owner and staff are very friendly and efficient in their service. The tavern has a very extensive seafood menu towards the end of the week like Thursday and Friday and sometimes Wednesdays. The rest of the time the tavern has a very good bar food type menu featuring Burger or some such. The only day that the kitchen is not open is Sundays when you can bring in your own food or have it delivered. The tavern has a breakfast service that goes from opening till around lunch time and the omelettes are huge and fill you up. You can watch most local sports there and the tavern features an 85-in TV that is surprisingly large for the size of the tavern.“

“Came here for a quick dinner with some of my girlfriends after my wedding dress fitting, and it was the perfect spot. The lobster bisque was absolutely delicious, and the menu offered plenty of variety with lots of great options to choose from. We each tried different chef selections, and everyone loved both their food and drinks. I especially appreciated the thoughtful mocktail menu for anyone not drinking but still wanting something special. The service was friendly and very attentive, which made the experience even better. I would definitely go back!“

“Great food! Fast service. The cheesy bread was delicious“

“Stopped in and got the calzone..it was great and my husband and I shared it. It was stuffed with pepperoni and cheese...it was yum“

“Great little corner bar! Check it out!“

“I ONLY go there on Fridays and Saturdays for Karaoke. And some Pool & Drinks. There is a nice size area for sitting and they have 3 pool tables and like 4 or 5 Dart Boards. Table sitting, Bar Sitting, and TVs all over with Various Sports on“

“would stop in there all the time for a beer and a burger“

“Just had the Mexican Smash Burger, it was excellent! The best burger I've had in a while.“

“For a great night out good food and great bands“

“The perfect, laid back place to enjoy amazing food and delicious cocktails! I am obsessed with the pineapple mule, the make their own infused pineapple vodka. The live jazz on Thursdays is the perfect reason to make this a weekly visit!“

“Love the live music with Tony!“

“Great food, service, and always has great bands playing there.“

“The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding.“

“The Hideout shocked me, i drove by for many years and figured it was a hole/little bar. When I walked in the interior was very nice. So the business end of the review, i had a cheeseburger with grilled onions and it was so darn good I was shocked. I came back the following night it was so good hoping they could replicate it, im not here for the drinks but the cheeseburger! Once again the chef comes through with a home run. Ill be back tomorrow or the next day, its that good and its of tremendous value, im not sure how they do it. The place is a gem!“

“Dublin Donkey drink was awesome.“

“Not gonna lie... kinda felt wrong drinking amazing beer in a McDonald's play place... j/j kinda. Our server, didn't catch her name was awesome, not a single complaint and nothing but anything positive to say about her. We dined in on 7/11/26 and were led to a section where there was a group made primarily of kids (def out#ed kids to adults or seemed that way) which seems odd for a brewery, yes grif makes amazing food and they dont want to exclude anyone from enjoying theyre amazing brew and food but like dang... as a parent maybe rethink where you're taking your kids. I really would rather not hear your velocorapters screeching as they run around yer tables as you speak of nothing of importance... thats kinda mean and I meant it... not deleting it.

Our server was awesome, sorry I dont remember her name, brunette with ponytail. Prolly not gonna help. She was awesome. Helped source a fifth of the flying buffalo bourbon and a thing of doppel gangger. Again everything was awesome, truf burger was cooked to med like a pro. Flavor was outstanding. Staff outstanding. Great experience.

Stop bringing your kids to an adult evening getaway“

“Terrible service from the short blonde behind the bar! Went in with some friends and we were ignored the first fifteen or so minutes we were there. When she finally took our order, one of the drinks was made wrong and when my friend said something the same bartender had a bad attitude! First and last time we go there!“

“Our table was just to the left of the entrance. We were very impressed by the service first and foremost. Her attention to the details were very much appreciated. The food was excellent. We were first timers today. And greatly appreciate the hospitality. We will return. Thank you“

“Service was fast - very good poached fish and battered fish -all you can eat for $16.97!“

“Ignore "Jazz" who should know that restrooms are for patrons and Chrissy who obviously doesn't know Mexican food. I've been in Mexico, have Mexican friends, and eat in Mexican restaurants at least 4 times a month. You will NOT find better than Aztecas in Macomb County. This place is even better than the establishments in Mexican town Detroit.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious drinks and our bartender Brandon was awesome!! Definitely recommend this place!“
