Restaurants in Royal Oak

“The most amazing owners and staff! Their food is also amazing and one of my favorite restaurants in Michigan!”

“Our favorite restaurant when we come to Royal Oak! Great food without breaking the bank for a date night.”

“As a Thai American, I don’t usually eat at Thai restaurants in Michigan because many places don’t make authentic Thai food. I now have a place I can order all of my favorite Thai dishes, and all of the flavors are on point. The fried rice and pad Thai taste just like they do in Bangkok, and pad khing tastes like how my mom would cook it for me. They truly care about good food here, and I will be going back soon!”

“Loved every part of it!! Customer service was fantastic -- Jordan was so professional, friendly, and helpful. Ice cream was delicious with so much variety. Lots of vegan options. The regular size is really big -- definitely big enough to share. We'll definitely be back!”

“Candado Tacos in Royal Oak is my absolute jam. Excellent service across the board. Jacob is a fantastic server. I would highly recommend this spot for good food, good drinks, and good ambiance!”

“It was my first time at Atomic Coffee and I loved it !!! The staff is very nice and the lattes, and food are very good. I also loved the atmosphere in the place. I would come again !!”

“I ordered the Tom yum soup and papaya salad. Tasted the same as when I first fell in love both dishes on my trip to Bangkok. Can’t wait to go back!”

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

“Took a whole group of students there today. One girl alone, but cheerful and helpful and served everyone with a smile. Clean, old-style ice cream parlor. Would definitely recommend!”

“ordered from door dash a couple of times and this will be my last. every time, there is something wrong with the order. today, half of the order was missing and packing was so careless that the driver showed up with a container full of food spilled in the bag. As for the food, it has never been great, just okay.”

“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.”

“high quality pizza 100%, a must eat everytime i come to the D”

“Great server great good. Love this place”

“Amazing service, great food, good portions! The house tea is wonderful!!!”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“Love the food and vibe here!!!”

“I ordered their Bad Axe Burger, which was good. Their cocktail menu is good too. Quick service for us.Even though I hate doing this, we had no choice. We walked 20 minutes before closing time. They had a great attitude and said they serve right up until they close. We ordered quickly & and our food came out quickly.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level evtrance.”

“Stopped here while staying at a hotel nearby. Was told it would be a 20 minute wait but ended up getting seated in less than five minutes. (On a busy Saturday night). The host and waiter were extremely pleasant! Me and my guest had buffalo boneless wings, and the chicken tacos. Both were delicious! We also had a couple cocktails, which were also crafted perfectly! Overall, it was a great experience; one that I would definitely enjoy again!”

“Was not disappointed. Food was good.”

“Maybe I was just super hungry, but that Hawaiian roll may have been the best sushi I’ve eaten, and that kimchi rice?!?! To die for!! Plus, the service was outstanding. We’ll be back.”

“Great place to eat before a concert at Royal Oak Music Theater”

“I’ve been trying a lot of different sushi spots around town, and as soon as I tried Bahdah, it was an instant favorite!”

“I won't every go anywhere else. It's amazing and cheap and great customer service.”

“Our dining experience was fabulous! Great food, beautiful ambiance, friendly service! One small detail I noticed: the servers / wait staff are not crumbing the tables in between courses or before dessert. Small observation, however, did not take away from the experience. I thought I would mention it because crumbing is an added plus to the fine dining experience of first class service. All in all, we had a fabulous time and will return next month for my husband’s birthday.”

“I had the best soup of my life! the crushed lentil was amazing!”

“Had another great night out at Edo! Fantastic service every time! Brandy was our waitress this time and she was VERY attentive, helpful, kind, and gave us stellar service! I hope you treat your staff well! They are all amazing! Food is always good, consistent, and large portions! Will be back for the service alone but the food is a huge plus!”

“Great food and gluten free menu including beers. Many NA choices of beer also. Waitstaff very friendly! Delicious corned beef and delish cabbage for St. Patrick’s day -they should add to the regular menu.”

“The atmosphere was amazing! The music was jamming and not to loud. The drinks were very very good! Our server was very nice and helpful. The good was so very very good!! Chicken was juicy. The ribs were fall off the bone good. The Mac n cheese was out of this world amazing!! The brisket was so tender and juicy!! When we go back to Detroit it's a must have again!!”

“I ordered for the first time Wednesday, 1-10-24, from the new Waterford location. I got the lamb korma, some Naan, raita, and a mango Lassi (carryout). It took me a good twenty minutes to find the place because there was NO signage! My Lassi was warm and the rice was cold. Luckily the lamb was hot enough to warm the rice. I will definitely order again because the food was so good, but seriously, no sign?!”

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

“Always consistent! Great staff.”

“I ordered the burrito and post workout protein shake and found it to be really good. Thanks to kind and helpful staff, especially the manager, who helped ensure we had a good time!”

“This is a great place to relax, get coffee and dessert after dinner. Chill vibe. Live music (there's a girl singing now who has a folk/Jewel/usher songwriter kind of thing going). Good drinks and lots of cheese choices. Not stuffy or anxiety increasing kind of place.”

“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.”

“we tried you for the first time tonight at Arts Beats and Eats. was so good! refreshing, flavors were amazing and crunch of toppings were perfect pair. Will visit you again soon and bring the kids!”

“Excellent food with convenient parking. The beef tenderloin kabob pita sandwich is outstanding! The humus and salads are too.”

“Royal oaks staff is absolutely incredible! Go in there if you want to start your day with some positivity.”

“Finally a good Chinese restaurant in Royal Oak! Food was AMAZING, short wait time, lady at the cash register was super sweet. Would definitely recommend!”

“We went for the first time today and will absolutely be back! As lovers of beer and seafood, this was such a cool combo to find in Michigan. Excellent menu, and even better service!We got the fish fry and shrimp & scallop scampi. The fish fry was amazing, and the shrimp & scallop scampi was absolutely out of this world. I’ll be dreaming of that plate no doubt ?”

“Such a great hole in the wall ice cream shop, they have the best ice cream and at such good prices!!”

“The food here is fantastic! Just tried the Autumn soup for the first time and will definitely go back for seconds!!!”

“Clean, good service and happy staff. Most of all good food…”

“Excellent food! Hot, fresh and fast!”

“My experiences have always been consistently good. The corned beef sandwich is delicious, and I've never had a bad one. I'm eager to try their breakfast sandwich.”

“The poster child of Coney Island restaurant's. So many comfort foods sold here. I love the chicken lemon rice soup and the original hani sandwiches. Servers are always friendly and service is quick”

“THE EMPLOYEES ARE SO COOL, CZUSE ITS COOL INSIDE, LOL BUT REALY GREAT PEOPLE, AND THE MENU IS SUPER. THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO GIVE US SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT, DRINK,”

“I really love my McDonald's especially the number seven meal without onions and no pickles, the fries are ALWAYS fresh and hot they have a great management that makes sure everyone does their responsibilities the really cool Manager I like the most is Ms. Sharron she always has smile on her face I could keep going on and on about this McDonald's but I think y'all get my point.. come by and say hello to Ms. Sharon's team they'll definitely appreciate it”

“I dream about Tubby's. I was in Detroit for business and stopped in. I'm from Detroit and haven't hadTubby's in about 2 decades. An instant flood of flavor, emotion memories... all that! If you're from Detroit and eat from Here, you know. You also know when it's gone. I drive past other sub shops in my state in indignation. Tubby's is the best”

“It was pretty slow when I walked into this location of Panda Express and I got greeted fairly quickly. Everything on the table looked pretty fresh and they were making new food as I got there.I got my usual order, which was a plate with fried rice, sweet fire chicken, and black pepper angus steak (does have an up-charge but is worth it). The portions weren't as big as I was used to but the food was still really good. The steak entree was also mostly vegetables, but it was still good. The sweet fire chicken is always amazing. The juicy pineapples really add to the flavor. The rice was fluffy and delicious.I tried the apple pie roll for the first time today. That was pretty good. The outside was crisp and sugary, and the inside was soft and warm. Would obviously be better with fresh apples, but for a fast food place, I was pleasantly surprised.Overall a great experience. Will be back again!”

“Excellent customer service. They prepare the food so well and are always there to answer questions. They even stayed open a little late to allow me to order some ice cream! Highly recommend them.”

“Ok, so.. Theres a Burger King Less Than a Mile from me. 13/Southfield. I dont go there any more. Honestly There's really no good reason TO go there, and I am Surprised that ANYONE does. From the asteroid sized craters in the parking lot, to the unpleasant dispositions of EVERYONE I have ever had the displeasure of having to deal with at the time... I have found it more enjoyable to go.... well anywhere else, actually. Then I remember THIS Location isnt far, may as well try this place out... havent been in a while (mainly because i keep forgetting it is here). What I have found here is the POLAR OPPOSITE of my experience with "The Pit of Dispair" at 13/Southfield. Not only was the staff Friendly **GASP** But ALSO attentative and helpful. **FAINTS**. Seriously.. "Attentative and Helpful"??? Where does THAT come from?? Certainly not from the PoD, for SURE! Thank You, BK, For having THIS Location available, as I DOOOOO Love me some BK Breakfast (Now if we could just do breakfast all day........) I Will Certainly Be Coming Back!”

“I always get the Honey Sesame Chicken with fried rice and super greens. The chicken is always great. The fried rice is good and the super greens have a delicious flavor. My only complaint is they don't always put soy sauce in the bag when I do delivery.”

“Been here a couple times and every time, the drive thru experience was excellent. Friendly, food was hot and fresh, people are great! Keep up the great work Burger King!”

“bruh i just got some taco bell and whoever was working tonight was cookin, culinary genius type shit. -w ingredient ratios, balanced -was probably a top 2 taco bell experience -the portions were lowkey crazy my food was loaded -dude at the drive thru was chill”

“Had a great lunch time experience. The restaurant was very clean. The folks who made my burrito were friendly and did a really great job. The lady who wrapped my burrito was a pro. The food was good, and it all tasted really fresh. I'll be back!”

“I just love the unwich sandwich. You don't have to worry about a bloated stomach with bread. It is so delicious. Even the wraps the garlic one is good. I will always eat here.”

“Friendly, helpful, cust. service oriented staff at this location.Can't remember the last pleasant experience I had placing an order in a drive thru until visiting here!Food was great, 10/10.Thank you!”

“Very fast service, as well very professional guys working their.”

“Unique set up with self serve taps. I really enjoyed being able to try different brews. Nice chill atmosphere. Employees were great. I didnt try the pizza but will for sure be back.”

“What a warm and inviting establishment to sit quietly and get some work done! This felt like the "Cheers" of coffee houses!”

“I’ve been coming to Marilyn’s at the Royal Oak Farmer’s Market every Saturday for the last three years. Everyone has taken the time to learn my name, my order, and my family. The weekend before Christmas I came to get a smoothie and they said “hey Trevor!” and pulled a stack of cards from under the register that were hand written cards to all of their best customers. I was so surprised and it meant so much to me that they 1. Know who I am and 2. Appreciate me as a customer. I love Marilyn’s!”

“Excellent food and bar staff are awesome! Makes you feel at home.”

“Great food and relaxing atmosphere”

“Not only were the sliders and fries an absolute hit they played bangers on the speaker outside - ABBA, Boogie Wonderland, and Earth Wind and Fire’s September - how can you not be happy?!?”

“Excellent every single time. I'm a regular.”

“The owner and employees are very welcoming and even suggested something that I wasn't considering. I don't remember the employee's name, but he suggested the pistachio late' with oat milk. It was so delicious that I ended up ordering a second one before I left!! ?☕️☕️✨️Wheelchair accessibility: I am very happy to see that the front doors are motion activated and evenly leveled from the outside sidewalk right into the shop!!(ADA Compliant)”

“I had a steak and potato crepe! It's an acquired taste!! Something different for the taste buds to marinate on! Delicious food and awesome environment! Hospitality is on point my first experience in the metro Detroit area. Soon as I got off my train from Chicago! Praying this place receives much success and abundance. Thank you ???”

“Exceptional first order! I decided not to park so I rode my bike 2 miles for a veggie plate and a kabob. I barely had room in my very large backpack! Food was insanely good. We moved here 2 years ago and haven’t found a go-to place, but I think this I now it!!!! 5 out of 5 I’m a food snob and this place is LEGIT”

“Looks like Erin knows more about Goldfish Tea than the Goldfish Tea management team. I hope the employees received some form of severance pay for the no advance notice closing.”

“We go here once a week. Food is always fresh and the service is top notch. Do not miss coming here!”

“My husband had been wanting ramen so we decided to try this place for his birthday lunch. So delicious. The waiter, Andre, was seriously the best. He was so kind to our son. When we left our son said that he had so much fun there. He’s also the pickiest eater and he even said it was very good. I would defiantly go again just from the friendliness of the staff alone. 10/10”

“I love the rolled ice cream at this place, it's very delicious and is made super quickly. The prices are also super fair. My only complaint is that the chairs at the tables are way too small and uncomfortable unless you're really quite skinny.”

“Delicious food, reasonably priced, friendly owner and staff”

“You customer are something else, first off rather you want to deal with the reality or not ...we are unfortunately under staff as we constantly informed customers of that. Most of you are not concern about that, which is fine...but with that being said... something come up a little short at times. That coffee goes as quick as we put in n it take 5 minutes to make. Unfortunately some of us employees are doing more than one job at a time, but certain customers are just some nasty and not understanding about our situation. PANERA BREAD NO LONGER HAS DRIVER, yet u all don't pay attention to that at all n it's ridiculous. Also, customer u have your faults ... pandemic or not, half of u don't even wash your hands coming out the bathroom. The woman are so nasty it's a shame to go in there after you all, it matches your attitude! Stop coming in and leaning your nasty arms or coats on the corner where food is service, that's is so rude n disrespectful.. n for some reason you all think u have the right to enter a restaurant n act n be nasty. Get yourself together before you go out and eat n judge other people working in a difficult situation to continue to service the public”

“Loved the custard great service and employees!”

“This place has been our favorite for years. The soups are amazing— both are. Whenever my brother is in town, he goes through quarts of the chicken lemon rice. The pita is grilled there and delicious. My favorite is the tomato lentil (vegan too). Highly recommend!”

“Our dining experience was fabulous! Great food, beautiful ambiance, friendly service! One small detail I noticed: the servers / wait staff are not crumbing the tables in between courses or before dessert. Small observation, however, did not take away from the experience. I thought I would mention it because crumbing is an added plus to the fine dining experience of first class service. All in all, we had a fabulous time and will return next month for my husband’s birthday.”

“Ordered Monty Cristo (ham, melted swiss between french toast) for delivery...yummm! Fresh Fast kudos to the Cook! (And Uber Eats)”

“Candado Tacos in Royal Oak is my absolute jam. Excellent service across the board. Jacob is a fantastic server. I would highly recommend this spot for good food, good drinks, and good ambiance!”

“This Leo's will always remain the hot spot after a Royal Oak Music Theater event. They are exceptional at handling a late rush while always producing hot and quality food in a timely manner.”

“First time here. Our server Ashley was great! She took us through their menus and gave some recommendations. The Drunk on the beach slushie was amazing! Mexican street corn and queso total thumbs up. Sadly, the main dishes were so disappointing. I ordered the Birria Taco meal, and yes I'm aware of deep fried but the amount of grease quite literally choked me out. My girlfriends taco which were just regular tacos were the same. So much grease it was inedible! The only thing that would bring me back would be the great service and a few appetizers! Whatever they do, keep your server Ashley she was the best thing about our happy hour and maybe replace your chef!”

“Other than one very rude employee who I'll call the garbage police (she interrupted me while I was placing my order with another employee to tell me to walk to the other side of the restaurant to throw my sample cup in the garbage) my experiences here have been mostly positive. The food is fresh and most of the employees are friendly and helpful.”

“Amazing service, great food, good portions! The house tea is wonderful!!!”

“Been here a couple of times. Place is usually busy so expect a wait. I’ve eaten each of their Skillet Hash options, Market and Farmhouse, and both are good. Overall a nice place to eat breakfast.”

“Atmosphere is impeccable, service is excellent, so kind and accommodating to EVERYONE. But let’s just talk about the food and drinks, honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. Great place for a fun casual night or a fancy birthday night. Can never go wrong at pinky’s!!”

“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.”

“Today is the last day for Raspberry Cheesecake cookies and the day before Mother's Day. They keep selling out on the Raspberry Cheesecake, however, if you are willing to wait 45 minutes (which I did) you win! There is no seating inside this location. Watching from car, this place is a revolving door. It has 15 minute parking spaces outside and it is right next door to the Beaumont Urgent Care. The staff for very pleasant and helpful!”

“I ordered for the first time Wednesday, 1-10-24, from the new Waterford location. I got the lamb korma, some Naan, raita, and a mango Lassi (carryout). It took me a good twenty minutes to find the place because there was NO signage! My Lassi was warm and the rice was cold. Luckily the lamb was hot enough to warm the rice. I will definitely order again because the food was so good, but seriously, no sign?!”

“I have been going to Olga's for more than 20 years in downtown Birmingham, Troy at Oakland Mall, and now usually in Royal Oak. For years the spiral cut French fries have been my favorite fries at any fast casual chain. Yesterday I was at Royal Oak and the fries have changed for the worse. There is a new batter style and they were too salty. Please bring back the old fries!!!”

“A big wow! It is the newest hot spot in downtown Royal Oak. it is such a cute little quaint, coffee nook to read a book work or just hang out. The coffee and desserts are delicious. Everyone should stop in at least once and see for yourself. They have ample seating and an array baked goods by Zingermens Bakehouse in Ann Arbor.”

“We just had dinner here tonight and it was delicious. It's got a pretty interior, friendly, attentive staff, and delicious food. We couldn't find it while driving, but easily found it when walking down the street and looking at addresses. We would definitely come back!”
