This restaurant is ok. The food I've gotten has always been good so I have no complaints in that department. However, the selection of food is pretty sparse. Everything is "special" on the menu and it's not that easy to just order a basic burger and fries, or a basic sandwich... maybe that's what most people want when they go out for the night to a show or an event at LC Arena, but I'm already going to spend a fat wad being at the arena on water and snacks, so it would be good to just be able to find a burger and fries that aren't trying to be the next Top Chef menu addition.The service is also painfully slow. I actually think this is because they might not have enough people on board, but we actually went there on a VERY slow night and we still had quite a wait even for water to be brought to the table.I will say that it probably won't be my last time there though and the reason is because it's a nice way to get into the venue for the show without waiting in the long lines outside. Come in, have a beer, walk through the restaurant and straight into the venue!

What a great spot! The American pot pie I had was delicious and the staff was very friendly. This is a perfect spot to get some food before catching the game in little Caesars arena. There is no need to rush because there are plenty of TVs to watch the game if you are not finished with your food/drinks yet.Vegetarian options: The are options for vegetariansKid-friendliness: Bring them kidsWheelchair accessibility: Wheel yourself right on in

What a great looking restaurant but as they say, “Looks can be deceiving!” I haven’t been this disappointed in a restaurant in years!!We ordered three appetizers:1. Bacon covered dates. They were tasty but why cover them with Heinz Ketchup?2. Dip Trio: Cashew Hummus, Beet Dip, and Pimento Cheese. Store bought dips were tastier. The worst part was the dips were served with Saltine and Ritz crackers!! We thought it was a joke!3. Smokehouse Brisket Bruschetta- This appetizer was so unappealing to look at as it resembled wet dog food on bread. It tasted awful! We ate one piece of bread to try it and that was more than enough! Just awful!Dinner was just as bad.1. Burger and Fries.- The fries were good, the burger had zero taste and fell apart in many pieces. Odd for a cheeseburger.2. Margherita Pizza- It was wet and greasy! Unbelievable!It was clear that no one cared we sent back so much food to the kitchen.The best part of our dinner experience was the alcoholic drivks we ordered. Why? They didn’t make them!I hope this review helps someone else avoid this restaurant and not make the same $170 mistake we did! . . .

I was at the pistons vs nets. I came in and ordered a double Martell blue swift. The lazy tall light skinned barmaid looked at me like was crazy. Like i asked for a drink that didn't exist. Rude and unwelcoming.

This fun vibrant restaurant is my favorite Little Caesar's Arena place to eat prior to a concert or game. There are multiple items on the menu we want to try. On this trip, we had two types of the flatbread and they were both exceptional. We ordered a bottle of wine which was poured into a heavy duty wine craft with a snap on lid. We were told we could take it into the arena if we didn't finish. We ordered a second one to take with us. The service was friendly and excellent. If you are not aware, on game and concert days, The Mixing Board opens early and you get screened coming into the restaurant. You then can go into the area when it opens without a long line and another screening. We will be back to The Mixing Board for each Little Caesar's Arena event. I highly recommend this venue.

We had a terrific time prior to our very first Reds Wings game at the Little Caesar's arena. Many of these eateries have both entry/exit from the street or inside the arena. Our server was very attentive and my French Dip was outstanding. Especially the gravy-like au jus. The best part was finding a table for six without wait. Harry's told us an hour and the pizza joint next door had a huge line and a handful of cop wannabees grunting and barking commands like this were the military. The atmosphere was far more conducive to the six of us chatting over dinner than the other sites. For the immediate future anyway, we'll be bringing the gang here! 12/23

Flatbread was ice cold. My friend asked for a Caesar salad minus the cauliflower, salad was loaded with cauliflower. Very disappointed ?

This place was definitely not worth the money. Service from ms. Tattoo face was terrible. Don’t like people, don’t work with them. Food was nothing like the pictures displayed on the website plus no flavor. Wouldn’t even feed it to my dog. Save yourself $150 and go down the street to really fine dining for those prices like chartuese or grey ghost for real.

Not sure what I should have expected at a restaurant inside the arena. Service was horrible, I'm sure they were under staffed. It took 45 minutes to get drinks, we got our food before drinks. Most beers were just out on the menu. Mich-again salad had blue cheese on it even though it was not listed on the menu. Not a great surprise to see when your food comes.
Had the worst chicken sandwich of my life. Who puts 3 chicken thighs as a sandwich and doesn't advertise on the menu its a thigh, not a breast. I told them it was not satisfactory and I got a French fry. Which is ok. But not a meal. I would expect better after paying $18. #
