“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!“

“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 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!“

“First time here. I was waiting on my appointment for curewell IV a couple doors down. I went and asked for a cup of water and they obliged. Ended up making conversation with a veteran. He asked me if he wanted him to buy me lunch. I declined because I had my appointment in a few minutes. Then he hit me with the I’ll pay for it now and you just come back! Talk about kindness. The owners/workers were the coolest. I came back with my mother within 2 hours and they made the sliders within 3 minutes. Delicious. My mother enjoyed it as well.I’ll be back. Keep up the great work guys.“

It had walleye on it so I never even picked up the regular menu, just ordered the sandwich straight away.While I awaited my order,I noticed several servers greeting & conversing with what were obviously regular customers. Always a good sign.My sandwich was very nice, lightly breaded and hot. I need to come back and have the dinnerThe floor was a bit sticky in spots, especially in the men's room.

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!!!“
