50 Best American Restaurants near Berkley

“Great place , food was fresh and cooked just right. I’ve had hash brown at several places, they were always half cooked. But at golden grill hash browns were perfect and very tasty. Went back a second time and had fish and chips. They were absolutely perfect and the price was great too.“

“"Absolutely love Bagger Dave's Tavern in Berkley, Michigan!The food is always top-notch, and today's visit was no exception. While I usually go for the delicious black bean veggie burger, I decided to spice things up and try the new fuego burger, and let me tell you, it was a flavor explosion! Topped with crushed Takis, pepper jack cheese, and fresh jalapeños, it had just the right amount of kick. The crispy cheese bacon hamburger was also a hit, with its unique crisp cheese topping. And those onion rings and fresh-cut fries? Perfection. And let's not forget about the apple jalapeño BBQ sauce (recommended by our great server) – a game-changer for dipping fries.A nap-worthy experience for sure. Can't wait to return!"“

“Alex's is a Berkley staple. Always has super fast service. It has all the standard diner eats, but if you're lucky, they'll have the chicken pot pie on the specials for the night. Don't pass it up. I kinda miss the overtly 90's charm of its original configuration, but glad that they've expanded to provide more tables. Breakfast is always on point. The skillets are a ridiculous value, and if you order an orange juice it doesn't arrive in a shot glass like some of the more "hip" breakfast/brunch joints. Pepsi products on the fountain are a plus for me personally, but may deter others. Careful on Sunday mornings as the church crowd can get a little crazy.“

“Amazing waitress! Christine was fabulous and took the whole dining experience from an 8 to a 10/10. I had the house-made beet burger and it was super delicious! It's $17.50 but huge. I had 1/2 for lunch and the other 1/2 for dinner. Yummy bun and the tomato, lettuce and onion were appropriately packed on it. It came with fries and the portions are generous. As for the waitress, Christine was next level great. Kept the whole restaurant happy while it was busy for lunch. She works so quickly and efficiently. She is neat, extremely personable and truly the kind of person any restaurant owner would want being the face and force of their operation. Give that woman a raise! I'm not a restaurant owner but I wish I was able to hire Christine to manage something in my life, lol. Great spot- tasty food, clean space, nice layout, terrific service. TYSM!“

“Loved the experience!! The food was amazing. Definitely a fan of the fried cheese curds. Onion rings perfectly crispy on the outside. My companions absolutely loved the tower burgers. We also tried the Mac and cheese and will definitely highly recommend it. The margarita pizza was full of flavors and very very large for one person! I would say come hungry because you would love everything. Pizza is definitely a shareable!! I would love to try the potato pizza the next time.Talking of the atmosphere it’s definitely lit.. loved the vibe of the place and it’s pretty busy. So I would recommend making reservations in advance! The service was great. Friendly staff!!“

“First time there and was not disappointed. Wings were phenomenal, waffle fries and onion rings were great. Service was excellent. I believe Megan was our waitress and she was as great as could be. Plenty of tvs so I didn't miss hockey or basketball playoff games either. Checked out outside deck and will definitely be coming back to hangout up there.“

“One of the best coneys in the area... especially at night. they're open late, They have great customer service except for one of the waitresses. I won't tell you which one. I'll let you figure it out. The cooks are great! Pam is the #1 Waitress! TRUST ME TRY THEM “

“Great foodie experience! Jake our waiter was amazing! Excellent food and service!!! Desserts delicious! Go now!“

“We have eaten dinner at seasons 52 in Troy, Michigan many times for years. We were celebrating a friend's special birthday by having lunch at Seasons 52. We didn't know they had a lunch menu. It was great: lots of choices. The service was perfect and the food was delicious as always. So glad we had lunch there today. Seasons 52 will be our celebration choice restaurant for lunch or dinner.“

“Wow, what an experience. This was truly fine and fun dining. Amazing food, incredible service and cool tunes!“

“Food is always great, some of the best around Metro Detroit for sure. My only annoyance is the mystery around the tasting menu. I was there yesterday and my friend for the tasting menu and I ordered from the menu. He got more plates of course, but the things I ordered- tuna tartar, cabbage and steak were all part of the tasting menu, I just got a bigger portion size. I was hoping to have a much more variety which is why we ordered that way. Everything was delicious and service was great. Just consider the mystery of the tasting menu doesn’t really make sense if every item is just a small portion of what is listed on the menu.“

“The food and drinks were good, love the beer choices, enjoyed the atmosphere, and our waitress Jenna was so sweet, hardworking, and gave exceptional service!“

“This was my first time eating here. It was recommended by a friend. I had the Devil's Pass Pasta and added a steak on the side. The food was flavorful and the portion size was good. Nice atmosphere, and clean restaurant.I left there full and happy. I will return to try more of the menu.“

“Food was great, staff was amazing“

“Very good food! Super cool concept I love the outdoor/ hunting theme this place has. Plenty of varsity of items to choose from and super good pricing with very friendly staff. I was in and out during prime time dinner on a Saturday night within an hour which was super impressive considering the place was packed. Highly recommendParking: Plenty of parking in the lot“

“Outstanding food and service! We enjoyed Happy Hour and the bubbly drinks were spot on! It was an unexpected surprise and great seeing Manager Frank running the show - one of the best leaders in the industry! We will absolutely be back and also refer our guests from the Royal Park Hotel to visit R H House! Highly Recommended and wonderful atmosphere as well!“

“this place is super chill and a good place to actually have a conversation with your friends. huge selection of drinks and good food!“

“We need more of these non chain family restaurants! I had the Mexican omelette and it was delicious. There were so many great choices to choose from that it was hard to decide. I got great service from Elijah A! Definitely will return when I'm in the area!“

“We dropped by on Friday around 6:30 without a reservation, but we were able to find seats at the bar, which also offers full dinner service. The restaurant is small and charming, with exceptional food and a super-friendly waitress. There's also a spacious patio with heaters and an extensive wine list to explore.“

“We had a delicious dinner with a fabulous wine list. The level of service was OUTSTANDING. Our server was wonderfully patient and helpful while we took our time matching wine pairings with our courses, and always brought extra serving pieces to our table so we could share, with out even asking—he seemed to anticipate our needs. Once I accidentally dropped a fork, and I had barely bent over to pick it up when another staff member swooped in and got it, replacing it within moments. The atmosphere was lively and somewhat noisy—it didn't bother us, but it may be an issue for some. Seating is cafe style—crisp white tablecloths, tables lined up next to each other, like a French bistro—not the kind of place you go for a dark, quiet booth. We loved it! Great food and a wonderful selection of great wines. We had a fantastic evening, and look forward to going there again.“

“great food,service and nice people“

“This was my first visit. Once I figured out how to order, I was good, as the menu was on the wall to scan. You have to walk in, order, and pay and then sit down.They will call your name. I had the Chilaquiles and watermelon juice. It was delicious. The place has very limited seating, though. Parking is very tight. Overall, the experience was pleasantly delightful.Parking: Parking lot in front of the building is limited.“

“This place can be hit or miss but they were spot on today for lunch. They have introduced a new lunch menu which was a great idea and very reasonable. Oysters and soft shell crabs were amazing. And sister had the crab cake over arugula. All fabulous. And our waitress Mariah made the day.“

“We dined in JLSK on Sunday. The service was spot on. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was inviting. A "trifecta"!“

“Shut up and take my money! Cleanest, crispest, freshest oyster selection that I have ever had the pleasure to lay my eyes on. A wonderfully knowledgeable bar staff, a kitchen that takes pride in their product, I really couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable experience. They're happy hour offers a selection of oysters professionally shocked by someone who cares about what you're eating. And at a price point that is extremely competitive to other oyest bat happy hour restaurants in the area you can't find a better quality morsel of sweet sweet goodness. I won't name names, but there are a few bars that have lost a loyal HH customer today. and that's really all I have to say about that.“

“Best selection in town. No one has more allocated bottles than Alan“

“Antonio's is a Rochester hills restaurant that has been serving good food for a very long time. . pancakes made from batter imagine real pancakes. brought me the cinnamon and plenty of butter. the syrup is of course fake but that's just the way it is in america. fake food industrial food, factory food but not at Antonio's at least for the pancakes. real food from real people. the wait staff is outstanding.“

“Some things are a miss, but mostly everything is pretty good. I really enjoyed their Quesadillas, Chicken Alfredo, and Club Sandwich. The service is always great as well. If you like Alfredo I highly suggest trying it! These are pictures of food from me and my mom’s birthday party we had there.“

“Excellent atmosphere, drinks, food and services:)“

“We visited Michigan recently and wanted to stop by here since we used to come for breakfast every weekend growing up. My son is almost 3 and they were so kind and accommodating and I’m pretty sure they could have hired him as a host, because he was saying Hi! To everyone that came by or walked in the door. Our server was great, we recognized her from being there for a long time and chatted for a little while. We will always come here whenever we’re in town, it’s still a tradition for us. It’s a huge comfort for us since surprisingly, there just aren’t small businesses like this, especially restaurants that have the co distance and longevity where we live in SC. Leo’s is definitely one of those places that makes me feel like I’m back at home while we’re visiting and I just wanted to say thank you for a great time because my son enjoyed it so much, and he loved the food!“

“the food was delicious,and the customer service was awesome I WILL BE BACK ❣️❣️“

“Wonderful atmosphere. Staff very welcoming. Food was hot and tasty.“

“Allows Service Animals Wonderful food and an AMAZING STAFF!!! #whereisknossa2023“

“Everything - food and drinks - was excellent! The cocktail menu is very creative. We had the dates wrapped in bacon as appetizer. Yum! I had the Michigan lamb ragu for dinner. Unbelievable! I had some left over so brought it home; can't wait to have it for lunch. If you come here, try the ragu! We had the strawberry cheesecake for dessert. It's huge, definitely shareable. The crust is cinnamon-sugar dusted like an elephant ear. So good! I highly recommend this restaurant. And the service was great! Rachel was great at checking in with us, and food came out very quickly. Will definitely be back!“

“A special day. A special night. Couldn't be better. Arranged by our son and daughter. The waiter did everything, except eat our food. The wines were a delight and the steak and salmon were prepared with artistry. He guided us with each entre and the salad was shared by us with dressing aside. Wine, was by the glass and was both red and white and light, semidry and elegant. Our perfect dinner ended the perfect evening. Thank you 220 Merrill for a wonderful 50th.“

“went and got a chicken shawarma from the food truck on Grand River and livernois, I wasn't pleased with it I'm not used to my chicken shawarma being made like a panini. the chicken was a little dry and he could have put more garlic on it. but I'll be back to try other things. I'm just not used to my chicken shawarma being hard or crunchy.“

“Thanks to Mary Kate and her team at the Village Club, our wedding was nothing short of immaculate and went exactly as planned. We had a blended wedding (Hindu/Punjabi/German), and their amazing chef curated delicious Indian and German dishes. While wedding planning is stressful enough, Mary Kate eased any worries or concerns and made the wedding day super easy going! The logistics of a blended/dual ceremony wedding were tough and we were on a very tight schedule, but they kept everything running and on schedule. Thanks to them, May 28th will be a day we never forget :) We cannot thank them enough! If you are looking for a classy venue, excellent food, phenomenal staff and service, look no further! <3“

“Ate here for the first time today. Service is great w a glass of water brought to the table w/o asking. Portions are generous the food is good w very fair prices. Had the single biscuit & gravey. Bisquit was large but the gravey was luke warm at best not hot. A little disappointing which is why I gave a 4 star versus a 5. Will definitely come back to try other items.“

“Staff was friendly, and the waitress was nice and the food was amazing. No long wait time. My teenage daughter was unhappy with the choice that she made and the waitress seen the disappointment on her face. It wasn't big enough or didnt look fulfilling, so the waitress asked her if she would like something else and of course she did ( smh teenagers) she came right out and she was happy that was very kind of her of you ask me. No charge for the other dish which made my wallet happy too. Overall great place to eat and kid friendly.Kid-friendliness: They are very accommodating when it comes to the children little juice boxes cups with lids and when available crayons and coloring sheets. Understanding when it comes to the little ones being picky when dining out.“

“Great place! Paul made us some of his delicious cocktails, and the meatballs were on point. Very creative menu.“

“Absolutely MOUTHWATERING hamburgers. I had the olive burger and it gave me a full body buzz. I cannot wait to try more. Best burger I've ever had and the best coleslaw! I'm not kidding. Heaven in your mouth.Vegetarian options: Tenpura asparagus app, Salad, fries“

“It's an old term, but is greatly relevant here: HOSPITALITY! Even as you try to decide what to order or are just waiting for a pickup, they will fuss about making you comfortable! Everything going on here is directly tied to a great customer experience. It is genuine and palpable. Here's another old term for y'all: good vibe! They have it. OH! And we like the food. With our sincerity, and thanks~ Liz n Ron“

“We have been here several times and the food and service have always been good. We will definitely go back.Kid-friendliness: Leave your kids and dogs at home. Nobody wants to see them in a restaurant anymore than we want to hear them on an airplane.“

“From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt right at home! My husband and I have lived within 10 minutes of this gem for the last 7 years and were so excited to find it today! We are just mad we didn’t find this spot sooner! The pink Greek dressing is epic and we loved the grilled fish options! Love that the dinners came with included dessert and the staff were all very attentive and friendly! We cannot wait to come back soon!“

“I had not been to a Beefcarver since I was a kid to the location on 8 mile. Stopped in today to the Woodward location. Food was good, the atmosphere is very nostalgic (I loved it), and the staff was amazing. The gentleman waiting on us was very friendly and very on top of things! We will be back.“

“Can't really ever complain. The service is always great. Very kind lady who takes your order and takes interest in her customers. Is probably one of the only coney islands with great prices for food (not $10 for 1 burger) spent $21 to feed 2 people at a time where it averages $40+. Thank “

“We hosted a holiday party at Shields of Troy yesterday and we couldn't be more pleased. The food was delicious, the service was great, and everyone had a good time. Thank you to Shields!“

“Decided today that as much as we enjoy lunches and dinners at Bill's, I have finally become overwhelmed by the Excessive Noise level, that one must put up with while trying to enjoy the food and conversation with Friends. After complaining, on numerous occasions, We have decided to remove Bill's from among our favorites list.“

“I eat there when I get a break in my daily schedule and the food is good .It's the only Coney island I trust. One of the ladies is a nice-looking lady .Vegetarian options: Alot of meat less Items very tasty vegetablesDietary restrictions: You can order no salt, no butter boil foods, and a lot of no frying items, salads is a good way to go.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs easy in easy out .“
