Restaurants in St. Clair Shores

“The best of the best!!! Must try the Italian sub with the sub sauce! Guaranteed you will be addicted!!!”

“We always have our cakes made here. Everytime it's always amazing. Here is the most recent cake. Their prices are very reasonable as well.”

“Innovative and well-crafted mixed drinks, warm atmosphere (feels like home), hardy laughs, and good times. Extensive and premier spirits/wine list. Love the choice of side dishes; they make a great paring. You couldn’t go wrong making a trip here!!”

“AIdan is the BEST! Very compassionate about talking about my dad who is now dying. Thanks! Of course the ribs were great!”

“Our family hosted a retirement party over the weekend for around 50 people and the Copper Hops event space was the perfect venue. Not only is the space beautiful, but they were very accommodating to any changes to the layout and our bartender was great! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend! Thank You Copper Hop!”

“We just celebrated Mother's Day with my family. You must come. Great food, excellent service and beautiful decor. Thanks for making this a very special day,”

“First off, this place smells incredible. There’s a coffee roasting company next door that was actively roasting when we walked in and that with the smell of fermenting beer is the definition of chefs kiss. Seriously, someone should make that scent in a candle. Music, 11/10 whoever’s playlist is goin’ can I get your Spotify link? Great selection of beer with fun hip names. Settled on their Oktoberfest, it’s pleasantly well balanced with a clean finish. Bartender was very attentive, gave awesome to service to us with it being our first time there as well as to the guests you can tell that visit regularly. Wish this place was closer to home, we would without a doubt be regulars.”

“food and drinks were delicious.”

“Great food. Awesome service”

“Was the only place we could find that was actually open in St Clair shores past 9pm during the week. Decent place..nothing to write home about, but I'd eat there again! Waitress was nice. Food was reasonably priced. Buns were a little mushy, but that happens.”

“Usually out of dough for the Big Benito, but when you're able to get one they're a nice once in a while treat for the family. I really like the lady that's worked there over the years, i forgot her namw unfortunately.”

“My family is Lebanese and I use to visit my grandparents every weekend on the Eastside. No weekend was complete without a visit to Emily's! 40 years later every time I visit from Florida, I visit Emily's to get 3 dozen meat and spinach pies, kibbeh knee and stuffed grape leaves! Emily's never disappoints!”

“UPDATE: I talked to the owner(he called and left a message the next day). He thanked me for the review, and said, "If we don't know what's wrong, we can't make it better." He gave me a credit for a new pizza(which I used today). Here's a review: The pizza was cooked perfectly, and was absolutely great. This is like the Sorrento's I know and love. Definitely recommend grabbing pizza here if you're in the area.”

“3-15 @ 9:00pm *** First...(thumbs down), they just about force you to valet, ridiculous.
After that it was all great, we were a party of 6, ordering late. Steak salads... Nachos... (bone-in wings)... Margaritas and and some Sauvignon Blanc. All very nice portions and very tasty. We will be back.

Parking: If possible... Uber it. Parking sucks, unless being forced to valet in 7/8's of the parking lot is ok with you.”

“A-1 service. Top notch food. great atmosphere”

“What a lovely and beautifully decorated restaurant, on the water, in St. Clair Shores, MI. We loved the variety of meals available and each of them were wonderfully prepared! Also, Laura, the restaurant manager, made sure that our dining experience exceeded our utmost expectations! We will certainly come back again!”

“Very nice banquet, staff was excellent, food was excellent.”

“Love the improvements the new owners have done outside so far. The new patio and tables provide a place to sit and enjoy your treat. I also appreciate that they kept the generous portions, by far the BEST VALUE for your money! I look forward to spring 2023 and see what more they may do. Thank you for serving our community with taste, good service, and value!”

“Great coffee and great service!”

“The best ice cream place in the area. Super friendly staff. awesome seasonal menu items.”

“The food is wonderful, the service is always good, but the music is way too loud. Unfortunately we couldn't even have a conversation at 11:30 on a Friday morning. I would have definitely given five stars if it weren't for that.”

“I have been here about a dozen times! Never disappoints! Truly enjoy the atmosphere and the food. If you haven’t tried it do so NOW!”

“The food was amazing and very filling!”

“I feel incredibly spoiled to have this incredible business so close to home! From snacks to mains to desserts-all of it is out of this world! The owner and staff are incredibly kind, warm hearted, mission based folks! I have gotten back on track with my protein intake largely because of how delicious and incredibly fair priced this business is. I had a protein deficiency, but when I had blood done a week ago, I was back in normal ranges! 🎉🎉🎉 Not to mention, I always have a huge smile face when I leave because everyone I’ve interacted with here are so genuinely friendly and engaging!”

“My husband and I got the double chocolate cake and we are so impressed. It is absolutely delicious! Thank you so much!!!”

“We stopped in for breakfast before a wrestling tournament and we had excellent service and our food was great! My son said the French toast was the best he’s ever had, and the corn beef hash was homemade! Would definitely recommend and will stop again if we are back in the area.”

“I am writing this review to just address an issue we came across tonight which is the reason why I still put I recommend Cathy’s because despite this one issue out of the million times we’ve been there I still think they’re great. Tonight, I ordered my daughter vegan strawberry ice cream with a waffle cone and sprinkles. When I ordered the waffle cone the girl taking our order said “you know that won’t be vegan with the cone right?” I said that’s fine. Then I ordered a sundae for myself and a sundae for my son.. in that exact order. She asked if we wanted whipped cream and a cherry after ordering the sundaes.. not after we ordered the vegan strawberry with a cone. I said yes. I handed her my card after we finished ordering. She walked away then came back to ask if I wanted whipped cream and a cherry again… and i said yes and clarified i did not want the nuts for the 2nd time. I handed her a $3 cash tip. She said thank you.. walked away then came back and told me the total I reminded her she still had my card that was no longer in her hand at this point (not sure where she set it not that its very relevant but it points out the fact she was already flustered.) I know it can be overwhelming and it was close to 9pm so I am not holding it against her. We got our sundaes, then my card back. The kids dad waited for his shake and my daughters ice cream. A different person came to the window with the strawberry vegan in a bowl with whipped cream and a cherry. Which again, no big deal mistakes happen but she seemed clearly annoyed that it wasn’t correct. She remade the strawberry vegan in the waffle cone like originally ordered but when she handed it she made it seem like it was our fault and I’m truthfully hoping they have cameras and can see that was not the case. She mentioned how they didn’t charge us for the cone and said we ordered whipped cream and a cherry for the strawberry vegan 🤦🏻‍♀️ which again, we had 2 sundaes. The words whipped cream and cherries never came out of my mouth in my order.. ever. I was asked if I wanted them after I ordered the sundaes and I said yes just without the nuts because she also named nuts. I guess the fact they tried to place blame us and act like we were trying to get something free was the part that bothered me because I’m pretty sure my tip covered their mistake of not charging for the cone and working in customer service, I also know placing blame on the customer isn’t a good look. I would’ve gladly paid for the cone but like I said, I tipped before knowing I’d have poor service. We were never upset, annoyed or rude that the order wasn’t right. Mistakes happen, we’re all human but it did upset me that we were treated that way. The second person handing us the ice cream was visibly annoyed but it shouldn’t have been towards us. I normally have a great experience so I didn’t want to write a complete negative review. The ice cream is amazing and I’d like to give the benefit of doubt that it was just a long day/night but hope whoever the second person was will see this because like I said.. if there’s cameras this is exactly what went down with the order and that would reiterate just that. I am blessed enough to be able to afford my cone.. that was never the issue and if it was I wouldn’t of ordered almost $19 of ice cream. I guess the fact my tip went unnoticed and I was treated as if I was in the wrong was what bothered me enough to make this review.”

“Great place to meet new people and enjoy a great cup of coffee. Thank you Tony and Al for great conversation. I'll be back!!”

“I'm hooked on the veggie samosas. However? Today, I had two of the three without any filling! Pretty disappointing.”

“Had the best pizza of my life, and I'll soon be 78. I love that you have a choice of either fresh or canned Mushroom. it was delivered hot as if it had just been taken out of the oven. the toppings were plentiful and top grade. I would give 7 stars if I could.”

“Stopped in today for the first time. Staff was SUPER friendly, informative, and patient. There were soooo many flavors to choose from! Such a fun little shop.”

“We ordered cupcakes and a custom banana pudding cake for my sister’s baby shower. Every flavor was a hit! And the Animal Crossing design? SO cute! I have a feeling a first birthday cake will be ordered from Pink Elephant Cupcakes as well!”

“First time here, no drive through but plenty of parking in the back of the building. They accepted cash or card. The Hot Dog combo for $3 is a steal. Overall a good experience with a friendly staff and the ice cream was delicious as well.”

“The way we are greeted when we walk in the door.The way we are treated by the owner Frank and his waitress.The food is very good.Very friendly atmosphere.This is a nice place to eat.Frank is open from 7 am til 4 pm Monday through Saturday Sunday 7 am til 2 pm So come and enjoy some good food friends your treated like family.”

“Wide variety of sandwiches. Been coming here for years. Staff is friendly.

Recently though, I'm asked if I want to leave a tip ahead of time instead of signing for a tip, and I really just don't like that. Great shop though and food!”

“Ali is an excellent host ?
The food is simply delicious ?
portions are more than enough
can't really say that these day's!

Our favorite spot to dine!”

“Excellent breakfast/brunch food. Always hot from the kitchen staff. Prices are very, very reasonable. The service is warm and inviting, efficient and professional. The wait staff of Jenny, Laurie and Heather are on top of everything, so you never have to wait on coffee refills—a pet peeve of mine. Great smiles too!”

“Try the hanie for the first time and it was great. Cuz really if you're going to National Coney Island it's hot dogs all the way. But I liked the hanie.”

“my first time here the food was so good and the service was great Mrs.Sue was a great waitress”

“Went last night for the first time. Food was delicious! The decor was beautiful. Our waitress Kellie was the best. Gave great recommendations, very attentive, but most of all great personality!”

“We were supposed to be trying a different restaurant that was recommended by a friend. On the way, we passed Palmers Inn but kept going to our other restaurant. When we pulled into the tiny, full parking lot my husband pulled right out. We decided to try Palmers Inn and we are SO happy we did!!! Vicki was our server and she was like a long lost friend from the moment we sat down. Our food came fast and it was exceptional! We have been driving by this place for years and never stopped. But now we are excited to have a new breakfast spot and can’t wait to try lunch and dinner- we were told the fish and chips is the best!!”

“The food is delicious, the beer is plentiful, and the staff is outstanding. It does get rather loud sometimes, but it's a bar, and most bars like this get loud.”

“I moved to SCS 5 months ago and have never been here before. My family and I have tried carryout from several restaurants and we always end up with Gilbert’s. Great food, service & prices. I had my daughters 1st birthday in their banquet room yesterday and I’m over the moon happy with how it turned out! The staff was super helpful and always around when I needed anything. The food was great, my guests raved about the pizza and spinach dip. I would book events here in the future without a doubt. Look no further for a great American cuisine menu and staff that makes you feel like family!”

“Really great atmosphere to come hang out and talk with people you have not seen in a long time”

“Great food.”

“Riding down Jefferson and I saw this spot. Came in just for shits and giggles. When I tell yall this is the BEST margarita I’ve ever had. I gotta ask my waitress if she made it or if the bartender made it. Whoever it was put they whole foot and leg in this margarita. It’s sweet and normally I don’t like sweet drinks, I like to taste my liquor but this margarita is the bomb! It’s a good crowd, everybody chilling watching the Michigan game. I have no complaints.”

“great service great food so far have had the mushroom Swiss burger the BBQ burger and thee original burger 🍔 let me tell you there are absolutely amazing the wife has had the protein bowl and she loved it 😀”

“AMAZING teas. AMAZING staff. I could chat with them all day!”

“Amie is so incredibly talented, has amazing customer service, and all around has a wonderful work ethic. I called her last minute in a panic because none of my other bakeries could work with me and my time frame, but Amie did! I had a bookclub meeting and was trying to find a specific type of dessert that no one else offered me, she talked me through the differences and similarities between everything on her list and I continued on with my order from her. I ordered the Lemon Ricotta Cookies. They were one of the most DELICIOUS cookies I have ever personally tried. She’s the only baker I call now. She’s always such a pleasant and bubbly person to talk to! If you’re considering ordering from Amie, just do it. You won’t regret it.”

“We can never say anything bad about this restaurant. My husband who is a picky eater will gladly Drive the distance to get a Reuben and of course I love the deep fried cauliflower. They are friendly very helpful I also am glad there are some really good delis but you got to drive if you don't live in the shores. It's clean very clean the most important thing and there are some restaurants I Won't Go Back but this one I will back and back and back”

“Great food, friendly service!”

“Good service with Amanda Very nice and absolutely stunning super hot”

“I don’t know where to start. Everyone was so nice and create a wonderful atmosphere. The drink options are vast and they don’t disappoint. The Ruben panini was probably the best I’ve had. And the broccoli cheddar soup was lovely. I will definitely be back and will be bringing my friends and family. Ps. Shoutout to the customers that were there with us. They fit the vibe. All super nice and friendly! I absolutely recommend this to anyone and everyone!”

“Went on a busy Tigers opener and had to park on the street, parking lot was full. Nice drink specials and wait staff got to us fast considering how crowded it was. Ordered an Italian calzone and a Philly Cheese Steak calzone and they were delicious. Had we knew how big they were we would have ordered one and split it, but we have lunch for tomorrow. Good experience all the way around at Tony J’s. 😋”

“The delicious pastries are total comfort food. I order a pastry basket instead of flowers. Consistently delicious. Excellent customer service.”

Take out only.”

“I love that the morning shift girls are always so happy and helpful. I'm always greeted with a smile and fast service. Great way to start my day”

Dietary restrictions: A vegetarian eat at this place

Parking: I come early and it’s light parking at 1130 am”

“There was a very kind lady who helped me at the drive through today! She was very thoughtful and went above and beyond! I’m not sure what her name is, but she said she just started. Her kindness and compassion made my day!”

“My order was sent here by mistake. Well thank you! I am so happy with this locations service and food. What a joy staff was happy and friendly. The store was clean. I will be back. Parking is a bit stressful. Giant trucks in tiny lot I cant believe the lot is so small for SCS that is crazy! I will park on street to get the great service. Next time I will be prepared”

“Jenny and Jenna are the absolute BEST! We had a surprise party here and even with 50+ people they made sure everyone was taken care of! We wouldn't have had the experience we did if it wasn't for them. It was our first time there, and because of them I'm sure it won't be our last🤩🥳”

“high quality delicious subs, friendly and professional staff. had the chipotle chicken and salsa Verde chicken cheese steak. the chipotle chicken was my fav 🔥🔥”

“Yummy Chicken Parmesan sub very good”

“Excellent Almond boneless chicken, but my favorite things are the Springrolls(the sauce for them yummy ?) and the crabmeat/cream cheese wontons are phenomenal. About to try the bout and sour soup tonight. Excited ? Great local spot, the owners/employees are exceptionally cool, and I’ve yet to have a bad meal from there. Delightfully Delightful ????

Parking: Lots of open spaces when you go between 7:30pm-9-pm. Never ate there earlier, but I’m sure it’s ok parking wise people. Don’t be scared ? Just try them and enjoy!!!! Worth the coin$$$
Thanks Golden Chopsticks ? for your excellent service, food, and hospitality! ????”

“Great place ..........”

“Always the friendliest staff. Now a new favorite smoothie...chocolate, peanut butter banana...omg, really? Too die for.”

“Amazing beans rice and tacos!! Owner goes above and beyond. We were ordering late and he stayed open for us. Skip taco bell and come here. It’s well worth it!!!!!”

“Get the nacho ultra!! Seriously so good!!”

“Very good fast friendly service.”

“The only reason this is five stars is to not negatively affect the employees.

You guys have one person always working. What happens if they can not use the restroom?? What happens if someone comes in and threatens the employee? Where is the manager? Why can the manager not staff this location properly? That is their job. Why is the manager not working and covering shifts? I am very disappointed in whoever manages this location. The employee working does a wonderful job and deserves the help to be fully staffed and a functional location.”

“Got some takeout here from last night food was fresh and very delicious”

“It was cool to visit the first Tubby's ever. The food tastes exactly like any of the others, so that's a bonus. The place is tiny with a lot of character. Good place to grab a quick bite.”

“I don’t know who put these kids on but they don’t know the first thing about buissness. They are going to sink”
