“This is the place for the worlds best burger and fries. No joke. Freshly made, delicious and crispy fries seasoned to perfection. The place is clean and orderly. Always smells clean too never old or stale smoke like some do. I've never met a happier group of people in one place.“
“The service is always great here, friendly bartenders, and fast drinks. Most of the menu is made in house like soups, fresh NOT frozen burgers cooked to you liking, beer battered fried mushrooms and onion rings battered to order, low prices and always a good time!“
“My friends and I decided there’s no better way to spend St. Paddy's day weekend in downtown Detroit than a ride on the pedal bike. We were so right and had the best time! Omar was our driver and he was great! He had some fun drinking games for us to play on our ride and overall brought an awesome energy to the experience. He was also our photographer at all our stops!“
“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!!“
“Typically I pop in for a few drinks and never order food, it was noticed by management. Surprised I never order food they were dedicated to get me to try the food so they gave me a meal to try!! I can’t believe I’ve never ordered it was so good! The food/drinks coupled with the staff like Autumn, Gabby and Morgan make this place more then worth visiting!“
“Popped into this cute little spot and was amazed. There is something for everyone on this menu from an extensive list of Belgian beers to an excellent list of classic and inventive cocktails and even an interesting wine list so grab your buds and come check it out. Also, I have to go back and check out their sourdough pizza which I have heard is fabulous. It doesn't happen until after six.“
“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!“
“I just have to GUSH about my experience with Time Will Tell! I recently held a Birthday Party there, and it was everything I had hoped for and more! From the jump, Jake, who I worked with to plan, was flexible, helpful, and communicative. They allowed me to bring in approved catering, my own sound, and even a drag queen! Everyone loved the cocktails and mocktails, as well as the picture perfect aesthetics. I also cannot give enough kudos to the staff! They were super attentive to everyone and helpful to mostly first-time visitors. Cannot recommend enough for a drink or special event!“
“I haven't been out in a while so my daughter recommended this place I I went in a I paid 100dollars for a couple of tables! I was later approached bye a young lady and was told we had to spend at least 200 dollars for drinks and we were only at 80 dollars! Then I was told! She thought we booked online! I felt really uncomfortable! But I loved the loved the Live band !“
“This place has a cool atmosphere and good vibes. The food is great and there’s many choices to pick from. I really enjoy the unique Thai Classics at Bangkok 96 and the fresh made ice cream that they have. Staff is super awesome and very friendly. this place will be the spot to be at in the summertime months, enjoying both the inside and outside atmosphere“
“Incredible brunch options! We split the olives, beignets, and hummus to start, which were all amazing. We had a vegan dining companion and she found plenty to choose from. Our server was helpful and friendly. The space is beautiful and interesting, with big windows letting in the sun on a lovely spring morning. I got the sausage and pepper kachapuri which was delicious and huge! I couldn't finish it.“
“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.“
“Buddy's pizza is definitely at the top of Detroit style pizza. It's not overly thick and has great flavor throughout. The toppings are fresh and they let you do half and half in their large ones. The special seasoned sauce really seals the deal on the pizza and is free to add as a substitute for their original sauce. The wings were okay, but really small for the price. Probably wouldn't order those again. OThe waiter was friendly and knowledgeable and definitely helped us make informed decisions about the pizza. I would definitely recommend Buddy's and will eat there again.“
“The chef's tasting menu is where it's at. There are some staples we look forward to but there's always delicious surprises too.Vegetarian options: I've only ever done the chef's menu which is selected for you. It means things come that are off the menu which adds more variety than what's listed.“
“Stopped in during the NFL draft weekend. Took about 5 minutes to get a table. Our server, Rebecca, was fantastic. Being as busy as they were, she had our drinks and waters on the table promptly and answered our questions about a few menu items. Went with the Truffled Bumblebee for an appetizer, which consisted of whipped ricotta, bee pollen, fig and truffle honey served with Walnut focaccia bread. Outstanding dish. Even my nephew, who is a picky eater enjoyed it. Ordered a larger pizza and it was enough to feed all three of us. Dough was good, toppings were fresh and it really tasty. Definitely recommend a visit.“
“We went on a night that they had live local music. What fun!! A true dive bar, which is my favorite! Space is tight inside and every shot on the pool table is a trick shot! There's a beautiful black cat that roams the property. The outside area is spacious and full of seating, including lots of porch swings. Booze is reasonably priced.“
“Never missed a St. Patty's Day Celebration yet. Going on 20 years. On the Historic Registry. Live music on the weekends. Friendly people all around. Every now and then, you'll see the original owner Nancy having a drink with old friends. Great history, great city and sports.Parking: Now owned by Steven's Family and doing a great job.“
“This is a great spot for a quick drink and bite before dinner. They have NA drink options for those trying to stay clear from booze, but that still want to sip on a nicely crafted cocktail. The staff is very friendly and will definitely make sure you get exactly what you want.“
“They had two N/A cocktails, one N/A beer, and several sparkling water options! I would recommend the High Vibrations N/A cocktail, very gingery and great for sipping while still being delicious. The Phone Negroni is a bottle N/A cocktail that I've seen at other places, it is tasty, but you're missing out a bit on the cocktail-being-made-in-front-of-you experience. Thanks for having great N/A options!“
“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“
“Stopped in after a wonderful concert at Orchestra Hall. #herbiehancockOur seats were delightful. Inviting and cleanly. Our food was fabulous. The atmosphere lively. The front hostess was friendly and accommodating. And last but not least there was our server Peyton! He's the man. Polite and transparent. Great communication and knowledge of the brand. So friendly and a delightful personality.Bob and Terri say go in and ask for Peyton. He's our man. Thank you for making our experience a fabulous one. Now on our Detroit faves list of places to have a bite, relax and to enjoy the city.“
“If you're into the extreme music scene you already know about The Sanctuary. For those looking for a cool spot to catch a club-size concert in the Detroit area, this is an excellent venue. They've done a fantastic job updating the whole facility inside and out. Great bar staff and they offer Liquid Death (non-alcoloic beverage) which is a big plus for me personally.The Sanctuary books tons of killer bands, so keep a close eye on their event calendar.Parking in Hamtramck is a nightmare everywhere, so just plan on that being a headache, but that's not on the venue. That's just part of venturing into that side of town.“
“Great place to visit! Lot of variety. Drinks were pretty good. We didn't eat here, but they do have a small menu. Dwayne and Sam were great are instructors and keep us safely in gaged and havin fun! We will definitely return! #detroitaxe “
“We strongly recommend you try Buddy's Pizza if you haven't had the chance yet. Especially, the gluten-free Pizza crust so soft and yummy! We received prompt and friendly service from beginning to the end of our dinning experience. Martez, our server was a blast and a huge part of our fantastic time there. John from the kitchen helped us out with making formative decisions to meet my childs' dietary health needs. We were a party of 9 but treated like a party of 2 with the efficient, quick and fabulous service. Now if you can open a location in Toronto, Canada tgat would be greatly appreciated. We have a huge community that us missing out on your service and that Amazing gluten-free pizza crust. People are missing out.“
“I've been here twice and both times were so fun. I found the bartenders to be a delight. Our last bartender was knowledgeable about cocktails and made us things not on their menu. It is small but that's part of the charm. The lobby of the hotel is also a cool vibe so when people complain about sitting out there,I don't get it. I would only be annoyed being a hotel guest and NOT being able to sit in the lobby. The drinks aren't cheap but it's for sure a fun stop.“
“Stayed at the Siren for a week....went to Paramita almost every night, as it's directly beside the hotel. Echoing what others have already said, very chill space...great staff, great tunes, and a really well-curated selection of wine, beer and vinyl. I walked away with three albums, one of which is Fela's Zombie album. It was just so cool to pop down there at like 11pm and have a beer and listen to a live DJ. Really good spot.“
“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've had the Filet multiple times here and I can't honestly say that it is without a doubt the BEST STEAK I have ever had. The dry age on it creates this amazing bark from the grill and it is ALWAYS seasoned to perfection. I choose Mint29 over any other steakhouse any day of the week.“
“"Absolutely loved my dining experience at this newly renovated restaurant! The atmosphere was fantastic for a cozy dinner, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The staff were attentive and the food was delicious. Will definitely be returning!"“
“Sandy’s has been around a long time. Friends have been going there for years and we finally made it there ourselves. Great friendly service with traditional bar food. While we did not have coney dogs, heard from others that is what they are known for. We will be back to sit at the bar for drinks and a burger.“
“Didn't eat anything so I can't rate it but had a couple of drinks which are pricey I ended up paying $30 for 2 drinks which $5 of that was a tip. 2 drinks should never cost $25 regardless of what event is going on. Lots of steps going from the entrance to the bar to the restroom and so on but I liked the feel of the place., when it's closing time it's closing time they want you out and doors closed by 11. All in all it's a good place to check out.“
“Saw a couple bands here from big ones like fleshgod apocalypse to small local bands and where the stage is and sound set up is solid for what it is. It's not a small place despite the name. They have it separate where you can chill in a back section away from the music and Chat with friends and drink. Overall this is a dope place.“
“No food menu other than a soup of the day made by the barmaids mother. Whatever she feels like cooking, the day we visited is split pea, and not a fan of peas, this was loaded with chunks of ham and potatoes. Very stick to your ribs soup. A shot and a beer rounded out the “meal” the bartender was super friendly even had us sign her up”out of towners” book as we were from Alabama. When you search dive bar this is a go too place. Don’t let the doorbell deter you, or the seedy neighborhood. Stop in and see the “Oldest Bar in Detroit”“
“Really amazing food and cocktails! The ambiance was so romantic and vibey. Family style/tapas. Great experience all around. Absolutely delicious short rib. For sure get the burnt Alaska dessert for the experience and it's tasty! The only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars is because it is so incredibly pricey and they really do stick to the reservation times and will ask you to leave when your time is up.“
“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!“
“The place is just as good as it should’ve always been and betterThe burger was excellentThe new owners are very ?? niceGreat place to have a cold one day or nightBackyard rulesPinball is coolPool tableYou could take your gf or mistress /hairdresserGreat selection of spirits and brewskisThis is my top 4 favorite bars inMetro Detroit-Menjos guy“
“You guys know how to throw a party!! Had an awesome time at the 80/90s night, stellar service with such a welcoming staff, delicious food and drinks. DJ Gabriel kept us up dancing and singing kareoke all night. Thank you so much for hosting my bday. BEST NIGHT “
“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!“
“This is the second time I've been to this bar, both times for live music being played there. The only issue I see for it as a venue is that the stage is just as dark as the rest of the bar. They do have a nice selection of whiskey and tequila, the bathrooms are unisex and clean, and they have cute outdoor area out back, through the pea gravel isn't the best for standing.“
“Lauren, our bartender, was so knowledgeable and cool. The only true tiki bar left in Detroit. It's very authentic and a must visit. Bartenders in general are cool and make great drinks. They stick with the classics, but have a few fun shots in case you're feeling wild. We ordered the Tusk of Plenty and the Cobra Fang. Boozy. A tad sweet as some tiki cocktails are. This spot is one of the few bars that still has Green Chartreuse. The Slurricane has a few splashes. Street parking is plentiful. Easy to get to. Decor is great. Total time wrap. Definitely stop by Detroit's last tiki bar.“
“We made our way to this bar because a couple of the other places we were planning on going to were closed, and I'm really happy we did! This place was amazing! Great atmosphere and all of the bartenders there were awesome! We will definitely be coming back here as often as we can!“
“I was searching for a restaurant or something somewhere near the Fisher Theater to kill a little time, and I walked a little and found this place. I was a little off put by the fact that my first interaction basically was "we only have 4 tops, so can you sit at the bar?" I mentioned I feel odd sitting at a bar and not ordering alcohol as I typically only drink water. I sat at the bar, and well, my server Ray was fantastic. I asked if they had hot chocolate and was told that they can make it and not only did they make it she made sure to put it in a hot cup with a lid so I could refill and it would stay hot. I then asked about some food options, and tonight, they had a few specials. One was a pizza, and one was this delicious gnocchi dish I ordered. I was excited to hear the word Gnocci as I love it. So I ordered it with the bread. I was highly impressed with this dish. My only small note would be I wish the Gnocci had remained crispy and not soft just the way I prefer it, but it was still delicious and hot and fresh. I am more than full and didn't finish the bread, thank god!! All the food looked great, and I observed nothing but great customer service. I will tell you it's on the more expensive side as my Gnocci and Bread were $18 by them selves. The portion appeared small for that price, but as I write this, I am stuffed. I would definitely recommend this place for a visit, especially if you are downtown before a show. If this review helped you at all, please mark as helpful and follow me for more reviews around the world.“
“It had been 5 years since my last belly up at Bumbos, but I'm glad it's still kicking. A proper bar with a proper pour. Nice staff, laid back atmosphere, good tunes and pet friendly patio. They also have a wide foot rest at the bar which amazingly some bars omit altogether. If I lived in Hamtramck, I would live in “
“Cocktail menu is absolutely outstanding, and you can buy everything you need to make them here. Great small grocer selection and awesome local beer selection, great curated selection of liquors and staff Is SUPER helpful and attentive. Great place to start or end a night, and even catch a game.“
“I’m glad to have been to this place. It feels like a piece of history. They have amazing GIN, VODKA, BOURBON! ???They smoked my “Spill the Tea” cocktail and it was even tastier than when it wasn’t smoked.I deeply appreciate the locale focus, the customer service, and their customization. They are phenomenal. Do NOT overlook them.Thank you for a personalized time!“
“I had the cod, my husband had the shrimp. Both were delicious!! The staff was very friendly! It was really busy and took a long time to get our food but it was understandable considering how busy it was. The spring rolls were delicious too!! I will be back often!“
“Been here only one time as a roadie for my friends band for a local 3 band show and was very impressed by the great sounds provided by the sound guy, great equipment for making the bands sounding big, good beers, lots of cool people who support local music and looking forward to going there more often to play on my band as well as see other bands! Raod Rangers rocks!???“
“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!“
“Nice little family-owned bar in hamtramck me in the wife went and everybody was very friendly they had the Detroit tigers on and the beverages were cold and the service was great if you're in the area Detroit or hamtramck definitely check them“
“If You want Your typical 1/2 lb Burger, You will not find it here, YOU WILL GET THIS TOTALLY AWESOME, ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY TASTY, GRILLED THE WAY YOU LIKE N ORDERED IT, CULINARY DELIGHT OF A BURGER, YOU "WILL" BE BACK!!!! VERY COLD BREWS Served With a Smile!!! Relaxing, Friendly Atmosphere!!!“
