50 Best American Restaurants near Oldcastle

“Great open golf course excellent for beginners as well as the experienced golfer. Well maintained pro shop friendly staff. After the round of golf stop by the restaurant for a bite to eat and a cocktail. Food is typical roadhouse food that is prepared very well and hits the spot with your favourite cocktail. Service staff provide excellent service, Always a great experience!“

“Cannot go to bed tonight without writing this review first. Sat at the bar and service was impeccable. Bartender/waitstaff really knew the menu well. Ordered the trout, beet salad, and gnocchi all of which were flavorful and texturally perfect. For dessert, ordered the upside down carrot cake and pavlova. Ate every last bite even though we were already full. We will be coming back and bringing friends!“

“Had the absolute best experience. I've frequented a few Michelin star restaurants and the Highlands definitely deserves one! Took my boyfriend for his birthday, and we both got different courses so combined we tried 6 dishes - the bread and butter is superb, loved the prawns, tuna crudo is fantastic, NY strip cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!!“

“I can't remember my waiter but he was fantastic! I met Gordon (GM) who I told I had been there 3 times in the last handful of weeks and he showed us a lovely time. Eventually he introduced me to Jim Lutfy who let our party of 7 sample 4 desserts. Once again the pork chop and grits were amazing.“

“We came here for our anniversary and had a good experience. I loved the staycation cocktail, the calamari and the the sea scallops were the best I’ve ever had. Sadly the lamb appetizer was over cooked and the prime rib was chewy. Not great. It was also served with burnt hummus. Our waitress was good to me but seemed irritated with us that the steak wasn’t great. We won’t be rushing back any time soon. But we love Detroit and trying new restaurants.“

“Excellent restaurant they pay attention to detail. They are very aware of food allergies which I have a tree nut allergy and they made that very clear at the beginning and even brought out a sheet with all the ingredients and circled what dishes had tree nuts. I ordered the sirloin steak grass fed, unbelievable also had the appetizer mushroom spring roll so much flavor and taste in every bite they really use quality ingredients and very little salt. It’s hard to find restaurants that use low sodium these days. I would highly recommend eating here. The portions are a little small I will say but the quality ingredients and the prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend any family and friends!“

“Exceptional, one of my favorite places in the world.Already on the outside there is a 'wow effect'...but what about the inside?This place not only immerses us in a sumptuous era but also brings a special atmosphere.The service is exceptional.The prices are absolutely fair, and it's great.“

“I absolutely love the local vibe at Green Dot Stables in Detroit! This place really makes you feel at home with its incredible service and friendly atmosphere. The sliders are top notch—each one is a flavor adventure. It’s clear that the staff here cares deeply about providing a great experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a taste of Detroit’s best!“

“Well first and for most the food is absolutely delicious and well worth the money and will definitely be back to visit...I also half to say Kuddos to their store Manager Annie you are the bomb and your staff is the Bomb.....Keep up the great service to all.....“

“Fantastic brunch. Definitely worth the wait. The staff were extremely friendly and the high quality food was quick. The Bacon Avo Omelette with their homemade biscuits was the perfect combination. Nice American diner style atmosphere. Would recommend again and again.“

“We had a great dinner experience. The many other reviews recommending the soft pretzel w/ beer cheese sauce are right on; it is one of the best pretzels ever. The burger with fries, and chicken wrap were good as well. The service was very friendly and speedy. We will definitely revisit!“

“duly's is a nice restaurant if you're a chilli dog fan !! they have the best chilli dogs in Southwest if you ask me. Older people work here so the service is around medium but they don't take very long and their manners make up for it. not enough sitting space though, so I wouldn't invite a whole family or whatnot, dulys is small on the inside as well. but overall it is a fantastic place to eatParking: I'll say there's 10 parking spots in the lot across from dulys, there should be a taco truck in it as well, that's where me and my family usually park at when eating at dulys, you would just have to cross the street of course. and if you're lucky usually around the morning time dulys street parking isn't that bad so you can park closer !!Kid-friendliness: they're really nice with kids, I've seen a lot of youth dine in at dulys, and the employees love kids !!.Wheelchair accessibility: for dulys it's already on a flat area no stairs no catch, so if you're in a wheelchair or whatnot don't worry you can roll right in here with no problem“

“First off, the everything bagel wings were so juicy that it squirted in my gfs face. Main takeaway. And very tasty, IMO! I got the peach rosemary zero proof drink, very tasty. My partner got the "deez nuts" which was fun to watch her squirm and request it hahaha She got the primavera, it was okay. Could use more salt/flavor. I got the baby kale salad that tasted pretty good but the salad items were not cut up, so it made it slightly difficult to eat, but I think that's a personal preference. I got the blackened chicken and it was over cooked but good flavor. Decent place, just some execution errors. Fast casual for right before the Nicki Minaj concert. Our server was sweet and prompt. Top notch service from everyone we encountered there“

“This place was great. Probably the best meal I've had in a long time-service and food quality wise. Came to celebrate a birthday during a weeknight. Not too busy. A nice modern ambiance that still has some old styles to it including artwork. Open kitchen concept where you can see the prep work for your meal. Our table had the prime rib burgers and steak and frites. The burger was one of the best tasting burgers I have had in a long time and the steak was so tender!! Service was great, and although Olin has pricier items the portion sizes you get match the value. I would highly recommend this spot for date nights, double dates, post work drinks, and smaller celebrations!“

“Great visit on a recent trip. My wife and I visited three other local breweries and really enjoyed our stop here. The beer was very good! The fried calamari and grits was incredible! Our bartender was very friendly and inviting. Enjoyed our conversation during our stay. Will definitely come back again.“

“This will forever be my favorite spot in Detroit to splurge. Every time I go here I am amazed at the Chef's Choice preset menu. The cocktail and wine program is 12/10. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: They ask about dietary restrictions when they greet you and all vegan and vegetarian dishes are clearly marked on the menuDietary restrictions: They ask about dietary restrictions when they greet you and all vegan and vegetarian dishes are clearly marked on the menuParking: Street parking only. Can get busy around 7pm“

“We celebrated my son's 25th birthday what a beautiful experience beautiful atmosphere the feeling was like we were welcome everybody there was perfectly splendid it was like experience one can wonder I am so pleased and very Happy with our first time and we will be back Thank you for the complimentary champagne it ended the evening perfectly it was A verry special day ❤️ thank you Rosamarie Verardi.P.s.Dont forget to vist theee Ghost bar ? ?“

“I walked over from the Greektown parking garage and went here prior to the Red Wings game on 2/27/2024. The two young ladies working behind the bar and also out on the floor were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Tom, the shuttle bus driver, was terrific. I'll definitely be back!“

“Really cute bar with incredible service. I stopped here on a visit from out of town and I really liked the vibe. Steve was our bartender and he was one of my favorite parts of visiting- really welcoming and enjoyable conversation. I'm unsure if there is food since I stopped in late but the bar was full service and the people were great“

“We love your restaurant and food, but we don’t like ordering online when we’re sitting in the restaurant. It’s like going through a drive through. We prefer speaking to a real person, one who is able to answer questions about the menu.“

“Fabulous experience! As a City fan, we went to watch City v Arsenal here because our regular pub was closed on Easter. The service was spectacular, and the food was even better. Many thanks to the Arsenal supporters club for being gracious and friendly!“

“What a great little restaurant with a great view of the Detroit River you can sit outside and enjoy a great view when having a awesome dinner. We were going to the casino for a show so we decided to take a walk and found Eastwoods and I’m glad we did. This was a great way to start my 49th birthday night off great friendly people Lexi as our server she was so awesome fun and could joke around with us goof balls,we met the owner she is awesome as well very friendly she took the time to stop by each table that’s great to see. We all had different chicken dinners and were all great I will be going back soon.“

“Great food, friendly staff and the perfect place to see a show! Very intimate setting and we love the history as well!Service would have been a 5 but we got the one server that seemed to go not want to be there and go MIA often. The bartender and hostess plus all other servers were 5 stars!“

“I believe Jeremy was the name of our server last nigh and was amazing . We stopped in before going to a Pistons game and weren't from the area. we were very impressed with the speed of service and taste of the food. I got the Bavrian pretzels they were bigger than what I expected and the Pub cheese was amazing“

“It was an exciting time. The lions were winning. We went to Slows for dinner. They said there would be an hour and a half wait, turned out to be 2 hours. TOTALLY worth the wait! The food was INCREDIBLE. The manager comped our drinks for having to wait so long. Heck, it wasn't their fault that the place.was so busy and people were lingering. I wish Slows was closer to my house, I would eat there much more often. I give them 10 stars.“

“Aptly named, Standby is still the best restaurant + cocktail bar in Detroit. Whenever I'm downtown, I'm hard pressed to choose to go elsewhere because I just honestly would prefer to be here. The cocktails are consistently spectacular, and the rotating food menu is always enticing and delicious. I also consistently receive exceptional service. Top this off with an immaculate vibe, and you've got the makings of, well, a standby. I've come with family to celebrate birthdays, with friends to toast to a promotion, with my husband for an intimate date night, and solo when I just wanted to treat myself. Because of the seasonal menu rotations, there is always something new and interesting to sip or bite. A constant cocktail on the menu that I highly recommend is called the Snake in the Grass. But the best cocktail I had here was called the Black Beretta and was made with clementine sherbet and black sesame - outstanding! I also love that they have a rotating "break-even bottle" - where you can get a taste of typically pricey pours of whiskey, tequila, etc. for just as much money as it costs for them to break even on the bottle.“

“Tyler is a stellar bartender, extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. The food was an absolute delight. The soft shell crab tacos are a great way to start your dining experience, don't forget a flight of their in house crafted beer or guest tap ciders. Perfect dinner date atmosphere. This is a Detroit must try!“

“Fantastic dinner experience. Lively, yet cozy atmosphere. Cocktails were incredible, especially if you enjoy trying new combinations of flavors (one drink even came with complimentary artwork). The brussels sprouts were worth crying over they were so good. The service was also fantastic.“

“First time here, my son and I stopped in had a great meal, food was excellent service was great! We really enjoyed ourselves our server Brendi (not sure of spelling Lol) was attentive and professional, will most certainly return and tell others!“

“What a wonderful experience! If you're looking for a great food and unmatched service this is the place. Everything we ordered was presented in a fantastic manner and was so delicious! If you are in Detroit, you need to find this place and go there. Thanks Mike, you really delivered!“

“Delicious food! No GF bread offerings but had the Diego bowl with scrambled egg whites and it was fabulous. Truffle fries are a MUST! So good! My daughter had the Frieda bowl and it was yummy, too. Son had a cheeseburger which he loved. Would highly recommend!“

“I was on the fence about this place because of the motel it's connected to, but the food turned out to be really good.Only thing I would change is the coffee ( wasn't that good ) and the size of the coffee cup, other than that it's a 4 star.“

“This is an odd and difficult review. You can't leave half stars on Google, otherwise this would be 4.5. Don't want to leave 4, 5 it is.The beer, excellent. The Winter Lager is better than the Boston brand version.Camping Beer is amazing. Was so good brought 4 home.Food we had was great. Had their version of a Smash Burger. The one thing I'd like additional would be pickle slices. One thing I NEED on a burger... MUSTARD! There was none available. That made it a 3 star meal LOL. Also, you have to serve yourself. Which is fine. For the great pricing on the burger and fries, I'll carry my food. And the fries...incredible to me.Bartenders. Friendly, helpful and thoughtful. I ordered a beer that came in a can. Bartender poured it in the glass and handed me the can because there was a splash left. I have never experienced that in 35 years of going to bars.Definitely a good stop and will be back.“

“One of the best bars I have been too, very friendly and lively.-Atmosphere-Is very cool, wide open, has lots of games like darts and uses higher tech with QR code menus that I love.-Service-Was the best part, the bartender was pleasant and upbeat and really knew what she was doing! She didn’t leave out any detail and made very high end cocktails with flair, speed, accuracy, and didn’t pinch on the spirits. Loved the experience!-Food-Food was coming out hot and fresh and I heard a few compliments so it must have been good, although I didn’t order I was waiting for my reservation across the street, they did well!Place has police officer security and feels very safe and lively.4.2/5 flames would definitely recommend and will be back again!“

“I frequent this location often throughout the week for lunch and have had the pleasure of knowing the crew by name. Amber, Maya, Alyssa, Tammy, Monica and Alexis. They have treated me with the utmost respect to date. The service they provide is exemplary in addition to the food they offer, which I haven’t had a bad experience yet. Keep up the great work.“

“Amanda was awesome. We planned to just have drinks. But due to her outstanding service we ended up staying till closing time and eating. She is friendly, great with kids, entertaining. The manager Byron was also Awesome. Thank you for a great night.Kid-friendliness: Amanda was great with the kids. Engaging.“

“Pizza is just ok. i definitely had better. I believe the lady was a manager there and she had a bad attitude. I wouldn't want to work under her. WHY U HAVE TO BE SO RUDE. She was RUDE to us as well. Again, the pizza was ok. The guy next to us at the bar said, "Little Ceasars is better," lol“

“I've been eating at Vivio's for 40 years, and their food has been consistently delicious and fresh. Recently, our table of 8 loved their pizza (artichoke and so wonderful), seafood sandwich (shrimp and bay scallops and cheese), and the sliders were the best in SE Michigan, in my opinion!!! Always busy on weekends, but the wait was worth it.“

“Well known to many, this was my first trip here. The wait staff was slow due to having one waitress, but she was as attentive as could be for the level of work. The burger was amazing. Fries were so-so, kinda soft and mushy. Not a bad meal for the price.“

“It’s a guy for security there. Ponytail with glasses, caramel skin! I was violated , lions lost and a guy who I was giving a fist pump too lifted my shirt up and this security overheard me and was ready to kick him out! All my friends were gone and this guy made me feel so safe and protected he was ready to GOOOOO! I’m forever grateful for him and told him it wasn’t necessary I won’t be back! But by all means he’s a gem! Thank you sir!“

“God gave me food when I was hungry. I went to Harvey's on Dougal road, and asked if they still do a free pie for a Google review. They said yes. They asked " would you like to order anything?" I said "No, but I am hungry, that is why I am doing this review, to get the pie." Then she gave me a bag, and I sat down and looked inside, and there was 2 pies, and fries! She gave me extra food. What love God has for a single person out of millions of people in the world.“

“The food was fantastic, I had one of my favorite burgers ever, the service was great, and they are an inclusive restaurant according to the sign in the bathroom which I like. We had one of the nicest waiters I’ve ever had, he was very kind and relatable. Will go again if I am ever in town!Vegetarian options: I think there were a few vegetarian options but I can’t quite remember.Kid-friendliness: It’s loud but if your kid doesn’t mind that it’s fine.“

“Have come here a few times since moving to Detroit. It's in a very old mostly abandoned industrial part of the city along the Detroit River, made better by nice new development nearby, adjoining a portion of the beautiful Detroit River Walk, and on a strip near the Atwater Grill with other businesses. Very nostalgic looking business whose interior including bathrooms have certainly seen better days, but made comfortable by the nice wait staff and VERY HOSPITABLE owner who is most always available and a pleasure to chat with. Generally speaking the food here is very good. I'd call this a must visit little foray into old Detroit, where you can get a nice meal and drinks well off the beaten path. I like it.“

His passion for cooking was evident in every dish that graced our table. Jennifer opted for the scallops, and she was blown away by the delicate flavors and perfect sear of the dish.

“So this rating is for the desserts only. My Wife and I were at the DIA not that long ago and stopped at Kresge Court for a quick snack. The crème brûlée was phenomenal. As were the donut bites. It's a fun place to stop and rest for a bit while you're exploring the DIA“

“I went to The Eagle for lunch and it exceeded my expectations! The food was truly delicious. The chicken just about fell of the bone of my drumstick and the mac and cheese was the perfect creamy, yummy side. It was also a cool vibe! As a Detroit resident I love that there's a new place to watch a game that's not just a "sports bar." The service was great, bathrooms clean, and just a 10/10 spot!“

“Stopped in today before a show at St. Andrew's. I haven't been there since the 80's when it was The Golden Gallion.Steven behind the bar was welcoming and friendly. The Beer Was Cold and the Popcorn was delicious. Burger was super tasty and the Corned Beef was wonderful.Tommy was there which was a super BONUS!We don't get downtown often but the next time we do we will definitely stop! Thanks Steven and Tommy!“

“Parking here sucks but the coffee and pastries are very good. There are tons of vegan options for drinks and a good amount for food. There's a small sitting area in the back, and the line can end up filling the seating area. If you want to sit and chill, I'd go to another red hook location. All of the other ones have more seating. This one, though, has the best vibes tbh. Make sure you get whatever food you order warmed up it makes it 10 times better.Dietary restrictions: They have all the vegan milk options and vegan quick bites“

“Is there an option for six stars? This place served the best pasta I have ever had! The mussels were amazing and the ambience was so nice! Our server was very helpful in breaking down the menu and making suggestions. They have a happy hour which is perfect if you want to stop in and just try a few items from the menu. I can't wait to go back!“

“Barcade remains an absolute blast, especially when I'm hanging out with my 30-something-year-old son and his friends. There's an abundance of entertaining games for everyone, ensuring a lively atmosphere throughout. For beer enthusiasts, it's akin to stumbling upon a hoppy paradise; the bar selection is simply outstanding.While they do offer food, our primary focus was on indulging in games, drinks, and, of course, catching the college basketball finals on TV. Don't forget to have your ID handy as everyone gets carded – a testament to their commitment to a safe and enjoyable environment.I wholeheartedly endorse this venue, particularly for those aged 25 to 35 who will revel in the diverse array of games on offer. From pinball to high-speed driving simulators to classic Ms. Pac-Man, there's something here to satisfy every gaming taste bud and keep the fun going all night long.“
