“I attended a bridal shower here. The venue was beautiful and clean. The food was excellent. The chef even came out to talk with people who had dietary restrictions and prepared them dishes they could eat using the ingredients he was using for the main menu. It was above and beyond, and I'm sure it was appreciated. Thank you for a beautiful event.“

“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“

“A wonderful restaurant that we have been enjoying for 8+ years now. We live a bit up north so don’t have the chance to visit as often as we’d like… The atmosphere is Top Notch. Very relaxing, great mood lighting and the decorations are great to take in. We’ve never been disappointed with our food or our service. The manager is a warm and friendly fellow and all the staff are quick to help or offer assistance. Derek the Bar tender did a great job of attending to us and make sure we were comfortable. If you’re in a “rush” this may not be the best place to stop in. The wait for a great meal is not bad at all, but you won’t get fast food or Coney Island fast… and the quality food is way above. I highly recommend stepping out and giving this place a try!“

“First time visiting, was in the area for a doctor's appointment and it sounded yummy. I ordered a Build Your Own Pizza, a variation of a BBQ Chicken Pizza. Was ready when I arrived & it was DELICIOUS! Beautifully done.“

“I’ll have to say one of the best bar burgers. Wings are very good too.“

“Where do I even start! This is hands down, the premier cigar bar! I’ve gone to a few others and they don’t compare to DCs. Chris and Donny (owner) has done an incredible job. First off, the ventilation. On a packed night, the place isn’t even overly cloudy or smokey, great ventilation. Their humidor also offers a great selection of cigars at affordable prices. Next the food. Everything in the menu is top notch and other very affordable. The steak bites, deviled eggs, burgers, fries, everything, 5 out of 5. Now, the atmosphere, unlike any other cigar bar. It’s classy, looks good, clean, and always has a great mix in music and tv selection. They also have a hell of a drink selection, very impressive. Lastly, the staff. I’ve become a regular over the last six months and have had the pleasure to work with some of the best in the business. Sarah and Rheanna are amazing, they don’t get any better than these two! They’re friendly, treat you like they’ve known you for years, professional and know their business. Most would say they do this for the tips, they don’t. They do it because that’s just who they are, just friendly and sweet. Joe is also one hell of a guy! Everybody on the staff makes time for you. The moment you walk in, they greet you by name. They have an incredible staff, that’s what keeps you coming back. Thank you all for making this place a great spot to sit down and enjoy a night out, whether a date night, a guys night out or even just a solo night to grab a drink and a cigar! Rheanna, Sarah and Joe will keep you coming back. I would rate DCs staff a 6 out of 5. Thank you for making this a comfortable and fun escape from everyday life!“

“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.“

“Old school, Detroit style bar with charbroiled burgers. It’s about the only place left in Detroit where you can find one. I literally drive across town just to get one on the regular. Makes me nostalgic for the days Detroit had charbroiled burgers everywhere.“

“It was a very enjoyable dining experience as always at this raw bar. Great selection of fresh oysters. Oysters Rockefeller were delicious. Oyster stew was good to the last swab of my bowl with Muirs’ homemade bread. Never made it to an entree. Service was above and beyond as always. Last night restored our faith in dining out. Absolutely none of the food or service issues that we seem to incur almost everywhere lately. We will return soon. A special thank you to Calli and the other raw bar shuckers.“

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

“Great little corner bar! Check it out!“

“Lakeville Station is our go to place! The food is always on point, their staff is super friendly and their drinks... especially today made me feel like I was on an island. Tropical and on point (Mango coconut punch qnd the coconut martini was so refreshing) Love them forget 5 stars... I give the <3 <3 <3 <3 <3“

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

“Love the live music with Tony!“

“Dinner last week was great! Our waitress Annabelle was fantastic! Place was busy, but she gave great individual attention and fast drinks ❤️ we will be back!“

“I try to go every weekend. Giovanna is the best. She knows my iced coffee order and has it made before she even hits our table. I always ask for her. Never had a bad meal. The breakfast potatoes are to die for. Everything on the menu is great. Have never had a bad or cold meal.“

“Fantastic sports bar that has been in this historic building since the 1890's.
Warm comfortable interior to play a game or bet on the lotto.
Don't be fooled by the plain appearance of the outside stop in for great food. Fish and Chips is the best and they have been know for it for decades. Also burgers are top notch. Prices are still reasonable.
Take the time to check out this long lived Macomb Co. Local favorite.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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! 💜💜“

“Great food, Great service“

“Guys!! No joke, this place is haunted.
They have recently remodeled the restaurant. It's beautiful. I've dined her several times, the food has never disappointed.
Back the the scary stuff...I was in the ladies room, washing my hands.
With hands in the water I felt what felt like a finger run down my back. From the nape my neck down to the middle of my back. I turned around to see nothing!!!!“

“Fun times, lots of laughs, good music and great French Onion Soup! Shout out to our server, Kaley ⭐️“

“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.“

“Best Chili anywhere, in season. I líke the cozy size of this place and there are enough nice people in winter to keep each other warm. I miss the place much.“

FOOD & DRINK QUALITY 👍
We enjoyed a well-rounded spread with steak bites, chicken fingers, and fries—all prepared well and perfect for sharing. The drinks were a standout, with the Tried & True Lager, Norm’s Raggedy Ass IPA, old fashioneds, and mules all hitting the mark. The cocktails were poured strong and consistent.

“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.“

“I scheduled a Celebration of Life event on Wednesday afternoon July 13th, reserving one of the 2 private rooms that are available for gatherings. I gave a $100 deposit which was later subtracted from the total bill.. so there was no charge for the room. The large room holds up to 100 people, we were in the smaller room, having a guest list of 23. My guests raved about the food and our server Rebecca. She did a Great job, very attentive, and friendly. Thanks also to Jackie, and the rest of the staff. Kudos to the kitchen! The Salmon and Chicken Marsala were very popular that afternoon and cooked to perfection. Thank you Aspen for making my event so special!! My comment to Donna, the manager, you can certainly be proud of the way this restaurant functions. Relaxed atmosphere, professional employees, great food.....“

“I’m from UP State Ny. The last time I came home I have been dying to come here. I had the 6oz. fillet. Its was to die for!!! So, for my birthday this year I wanted to go back! Everyone ordered, I ordered my fillet Med/Rear Well it was more Med/Well and I didn’t like it. The waiter agreed. They took it back and brought me the most perfect Fillet!!!! The service , the staff, the manager, each one was so so nice! The manager even gave us 3 free cream puffs! Will be back for sure! Best steak ever“

“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Visited X-Golf for the first time on November 20th with my husband and son. Had a great time! Jesse, the bartender/waiter/desk person, was beyond friendly and helpful!! Will definitely be returning!“

“They have a super nice establishment and I like that they have bouncers that take security seriously. It feels safe and good. I ordered a draft bud light and it was the bottom of the keg. I reported to bartender about it and they gave me a new beer without issue. And we’re super happy to do so.

The dance floor is where the fun is.

THANK YOU!“

“We had such a great first experience here. From start to finish, everything was wonderful.
We started with the stuffed meatballs and mozzarella sticks. The meatballs were hands-down my favorite bite of the night—so flavorful and comforting. The mozzarella sticks had a perfectly crispy, well-seasoned breading (even though there wasn’t much of a cheese pull), and both the ranch and marinara were spot-on.
For our meals, my husband ordered the sliders with a side Caesar salad, and I had the half slab of ribs. The sliders were just okay—not something we’d rush back for—but the Caesar was crisp, fresh, and light. The ribs, though, were incredible—fall-off-the-bone tender with amazing flavor, and they ended up being my husband’s favorite bite of the night.
To top it off, the manager (or owner) stopped by to welcome us and surprised us with fried Oreos on the house since it was our first visit. Those easily made our top three bites of the evening—such a fun and delicious touch.
Beyond the food, the service really stood out. Everyone was kind, attentive, and genuinely helped make the experience enjoyable. Add in the sports on TV and the upbeat atmosphere, and it really felt like the perfect higher-end sports bar.
We loved everything about our visit and will absolutely be back.“

“First time trying Detroit style pizza and we knew we wanted to try Buddy’s. We weren’t totally sure what to order, but luckily Dejuan our server was incredible! He gave us wonderful recommendations, great service , and he was just fun! We had a delicious meal and a great time. We had 2 different kinds of pizza and the famous antipasto salad and it was all so good! So much so that we are going back tomorrow for more! And the manager Rondah stopped by our table to make sure everything was great and we let her know how happy we were with our entire experience, a true testament to what a great job she is doing running everything! We also loved that this is the original location on Conant St. and has a cool mural outside and such a great ambiance inside! If you are in Detroit this is the place to be!“

“My Dad is currently in the hospital battling sepsis. We’ve had a difficult time getting him to eat. He asked for lamb chops, so my husband searched until he found Filippa’s. After hearing our story, they made his lamb chops special for him before they were technically even open. Outstanding customer service, and delicious food! We cannot thank them enough ☺️“

“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.“

“Good family restaurant , been going here for 9 years“

“Good Food. Fish all you can eat on Wednesday“

“Abdul, Abdul what a waiter, super polite and kind. Always has a shining smile on his face while helping you out. He is the best waiter ever, will for sure be back. Great food and all in all great experience.“

“We are longtime customers of Rochester Mills. We like to meet up with family and friends to celebrate occasions.

However, tonight it was disappointing when we went to use a birthday coupon and we were informed that it is only for dine in purposes only. I was told by the bartender that other people have complained since it is not on the coupon that it is only for dine-in purchases.“

“Came in for an early lunch today and was pleasantly greeted by a sweet young lady at the front door. She had such a great smile and energy, very nice to see. Our server greeted us right away and was so upbeat. She took our order right away and our food came out so quick! As we were eating an older woman with long hair came to check on us. She was so nice and accommodating, asked us if everything was to our liking, if we needed anything else, and chatted with us as if we were old friends. We had such a great time that we will be back and hopefully see these three again. Just wish I would have gotten their names :(“

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