“I went to Kruse’s Paint Creek Restaurant for the first time today. I had excellent service from LeAnn M. who went out of her way to accommodate my garlic allergy. The food and and service were excellent. Leann is a gem. She is professional, kind, and knowledgeable!“

“Game Day at CJ Mahoney's
With no way to catch the big game at home, CJ Mahoney's was the perfect destination. Nestled in a cozy booth, we had our own personal TV, the perfect setup for an immersive viewing experience.

We kicked off the game with a classic Supreme Pizza, a cheesy, saucy delight topped with a colorful array of ingredients. While she sipped on a couple of refreshing 7 and 7's, I opted for a crisp Diet Coke. Later, we indulged in a flavorful cheese Quesadilla, a cheesy, crispy treat that hit the spot.

Despite the packed house, the staff handled the crowd with impressive efficiency. They were friendly, attentive, and kept our drinks flowing.

CJ Mahoney's has become our go-to spot for game day. The combination of great food, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere makes it a winner in our book.“

“Vast variety of wine and cocktails. There is something for everyone from drinks to food. The menu will not disappoint.“

“first time there for Lions tailgate party! Absolute awesome place to watch the game. Donnie the manager was very attentive to our larger party. Kaylie was awesome at taking care of us. Good time all around had by all. The $16 buffet pre game was a great value, and the food was excellent. Highly recommend checking out the tailgate party before every game!“

“Great view, nice menu, good food!“

“Had a family celebration and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Our waiter Grant did duty above and beyond. The hostess was helpful in finding a table that could accommodate us and the menu provided something for everyone. A wonderful evening“

“Loved the food. Ava our waitress was great. We will most 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.“

“Consistently great service and outstanding quality of food. Steaks, seafood, prime rib, pasta and wonderful chicken dishes. Salads made table side. Great clam chowders and French onion soup. Great sandwiches if you’re not into a full meal. You have to try their French baked potato- delicious! Full bar. A true gem in the Rochester and Rochester Hills communities.“

“This used to be the biker bar of oxford. Great memories there however we're trying to add a restaurant to it and make it family-friendly. A place that is named after something to do with a keg is nothing that should be a family-friendly it should be a trash dive biker bar with 10 cent wings again. It was better than“

“The food is really good and the server we got was very attentive. Though when walking in several skimpy dressed hostesses and wait staff walked by us and didn't welcome us or even smile and say hello, we'll be right with you, etc.
I felt the atmosphere was nice but most of their staff seemed to be like I said before very skimpy dressed woman who didn't seem to want to be bothered. Maybe that's the atmosphere they are going for? I'm just glad we didn't get one of them as our server.“

“Friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and servers were excellent. Their cookies are worth the wait; hot and fresh from the oven! We enjoyed it so much, we went twice while we were in town for vacation.“

“Took our first trip to this place just last night. Has a little bit of everything for those not looking to stay seated during dinner. Food took forever though and was decent. Waitress was a little lost with constantly asking our table of 6 what they ordered and whose drink went with whose order. Other than that the atmosphere was pretty cool. We played some cornhole, which was decently priced by the hour ($10). Plus they had classic arcade games, free to play like Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Frogger, and Donkey Kong along with 90’s classics like Mortal Kombat, NFL Blitz and House of the Dead. Plus over a dozen pinballs. Arcade area was a sight to see since most places now use carnival or ticket games. They also had a poker room which was full. Did not see any pool tables, darts or disc golf so not sure if those get removed during poker night. I’d consider coming back but not during their busier times. It was more than half capacity but id imagine an even further delay on food or your wait staff being really lost handling more than 20 orders at multiple tables. Either way I’d recommend it as long as you aren’t really hungry going in or don’t like huge crowds.“

“where everyone is a singer and the bar loves you for it.“

“Over 5 stars recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The atmosphere, staff, and food was all phenomenal at Whiskey Rae's! The smell, taste and love in the food. It's gourmet homemade food with a twist 🤌 Much respect and appreciation for the Chef Drew. Excellent hospitality and service from our down to earth server Isla!“

“Dude. We went here last night…AMAZING. Food was great. Drinks were great. Music was A VIBE. I feel bad I don’t remember the server’s name who was outside on the patio, but genuinely some of the best service I’ve ever had, and I worked in the industry for 10+ years. He made great recommendations, was running his butt off, and just overall did a great job. You guys keep doing exactly what you’re doing. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Awesome food and drinks for over 15+ years. Come on in!!“

“Love the new sand courts and bar.“

“Went here for my 21st birthday and will never forget it. I had such a great time with coworkers/ friends. This place left me with a feeling like I found a hidden gem that no one knew about. This place has great food, amazing employees and a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.“

“I took my two son’s here today. My youngest has autism and others’ kindly describe him as “a handful.” Accurate. The server comes over and asks for our drinks. She brings them back and my son just throws the cup across the aisle. And then laughs. Autism is super fun like that. Lauren (the server) was super nice about the mess. Another female server cleaned up the milk. They were both very understanding and it helped so much - probably more than they realize! I tipped them both but I hope a manager sees this, because, they are awesome employees!! You’re lucky to have them!“

“I had my baby shower there yesterday and we had the best experience! Everything was perfect. The servers were on top of it the entire time and did an amazing job. The food was delicious and everyone was raving about it. I highly recommend this place and cannot say enough good things about it. We could not have asked for a better experience. ❤️“

“Let me just say I didn't actually go in but I placed a special order over the phone. I spoke with Adrienne and it was a great experience. She did a wonderful job, I will absolutely be going in person now.“

“We had a great time in our private igloo. It was an experience for our Super Seniors (parents). Good food, AMAZING SERVICE (Thanks Mary🥰), memories created.“

“Great atmosphere and amazing food!! Nothing I don’t love ❤️“

“I usually get take-out from 24th Street & really love their food. I would especially recommend the Saganaki & the Philly Sub. The prices are reasonable & the staff is friendly. They always have the local games playing on a large number of TVs too, so you can see your favorite team from just about every seat in the building.“

“Fun casual dining- great food, good service!“

“No long waits friendly staff, hot delicious food!“
