    We visited Black Label Tavern on a Friday evening, and it wasn't too crowded when we arrived. Unfortunately, the service got off to a slow start. We waited about 10 minutes without being greeted or seated, even though several servers noticed us. Eventually, someone seated us, but it was a disappointing first impression. We ordered the rosemary truffle fries, onion rings, and a wood-fired hand-tossed pizza, customized with our choice of toppings. They don't modify any of their alcoholic drinks to make virgin versions. The food took a while to arrive, but everything came out together. The onion rings were crispy and enjoyable, and the pizza was good. The rosemary truffle fries, however, were just okay and lacked the flavor we expected. As the evening went on, the restaurant slowly filled up, with the bar area becoming completely packed. Overall, it's a nice, cool spot with decent food, but the service could definitely use improvement. The experience was okay, but it left us wanting a bit more.

    Smoked BBQ Pizza

    Let's start how our server created us- with a huge smile and just a welcoming hug like feeling. Enjoyed the campfire bourbon martini. Spot on My pizza was great. Had the BBQ and added blue cheese. Crazy good If you live within and hour you have to try the artichoke dip. The best I have ever had. Trust me. The bar was hoping and the atmosphere was fun.

    I don't usually leave long reviews, but this experience was unbelievably bad, especially for a Monday when the place wasn't even busy. Things actually started off fine. Our server was friendly and attentive... for the first five minutes. Then everything fell apart. My wives's first glass of wine came out looking like it had been grabbed from another table, smudges and lip marks all over the rim. I asked for a replacement, and even the server said, "Yeah, I wouldn't drink from that either." Not exactly reassuring, but fine. Then the food arrived... with no silverware. We waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, I had to flag down a completely different server just to get utensils. At this point, I realized the "replacement" wine never came back, either. When our server finally resurfaced, I reminded her, she had totally forgotten. Over halfway through the meal, the new wine shows up... and the glass is somehow grosser than the first one. Lip smudges again. I would've said something, but she never returned. You can see from the empty water glasses, we just kinda were left there. To top it off, we had to get another server just to bring the bill. When our server did come back and I pointed out the dirty wine glass, her response wasn't an apology. It wasn't concern. It was just: "Oh." That's it. Just oh. This used to be a solid spot, but it's been the same menu forever, the menus themselves are beat up, and half the bar tables wobble. It reminds me of Doc Sports in Livonia, a place that used to be good, but the owners made enough money and stopped caring, stopped updating anything, and it slowly died of old age. Sadly, this place feels like it's on that same path. The decline shows, and after this experience, I'm not sure we'll be back.

    This place is nice, it was not super packed on a Thursday night and there was no wait for a table for two. There are TVs at the bar for those who watch sports, and a regular dining area for everyone else. There is rock music playing softly. Our server was really nice and attentive . I had a midnight margarita which was okay (really sweet), I also had a white gummy martini and it was amazing 10/10. I chose the spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer which was delicious! 10/10 it was perfect and the pita chips were crispy yet soft. For my meal I had the steak bites which is on the starters menu, it was super tender and cooked medium 10/10. I also had a side of macaroni which was okay 4/10. My bestie had the stuffed pasta, I tried it and it was great! Overall I'd say this place is great and a nice place to stop in for food and drinks.

    Mushroom smash burger
    Sana K.

    Came to town for a concert and found this place nearby our hotel to eat before. I was blown away at how great the food and drinks were. I had little expectations since it was a tavern and it was happy hour. However the reviews looked great. I ordered the mushroom smash burger and it was very good. I even got the onions on the side. The fries were good as well and I dipped them in ranch. It was very filling. The happy hour buffalo wings and truffle fries were really good as well. Service was good as well. Ambiance was chill. Not too busy. Plenty of tvs by the bar

    Black Label Nachos
    Kari A.

    Food was great! I went with some friends, and got nachos as an app. It was delicious! I got wings too and they were good but they put the sauce on the side instead of tossing the wings in the sauce. Not a big deal. The only issue is that the service was a little slow, and it wasn't even super busy. Our waitress was very nice though. I would recommend this place if you're looking for good bar food!

    Service by Sam is a 5 star. I tried the bourbon chicken which had a excellent sauce but was way too dry. Give it 2-1/2 points , particularly with the high price. The garlic potatoes were very good. We shared Mac and cheese which was a solid 4. Wife tried the steak tid bits and sauce which said were good but gets 4 points. The broccoli was very bland.

    Was finally able to check out this bar and grill on a Saturday afternoon. Was warmly greeted by the bartender and he recommended the Bloody Mary for our first round of cocktails. Ordered the spicy Bloody Mary and did not disappoint! I can see why they have been voted best Bloody Mary- bold, spicy flavors that are sure to warm you up on a cold winter day! We ordered an appetizer of the Mac and Cheese Gouda Bites , my coworkers ordered the spicy fried chicken which had more of a tang than spicy and the smoked brisket sandwich which was packed with flavors and a generous helping. I ordered the stuffed fiocchetti which was good I felt the cream sauce was too grainy. Would definitely visit again for their weekend brunch menu!

In opening the bag and releasing the steam, was the beginning of a true dining experience. This is why you need the apron and plastic gloves they provide.

They don't take reservations but don't me that 6:30 on a Saturday evening wasn't that busy. It was a very small turn out for our group. I got there early and they were able to seat me in sight of the door. While the boils are higher priced, the baskets and po boys are reasonable. I got the shrimp with sweet potato fries and a appetizer of hush puppies. Others got the boils and clam basket. None of us was impressed. The breading on the shrimp was heavy and dry. I will admit that it tasted better warmed up the next day. The sides were huge and shareable. The service was friendly when there. The music was almost too loud for table talk. The decor was what you would expect. I am glad I tried but will not be back.

Food: 4/5 Their salmon must be an above grade fish and theyve cooked it perfectly every time Im there (medium)- tender, almost pull apart! They used to have a "dynamite salmon" dish that elevated their creativity b/c it had an interesting sauce and a bit of crab on top. Sadly, their vegetable/rice needs work- zero seasoning, and many times, the asparagus is tough or very overcooked. Anyone could cook it. If you get mashed potatoes- you get about 3 fork full (wont satisfy a hungry man). Their steaks are not on par with other upper steak restaurants. Mine was thin and overcooked but I ate it anyway. Service: 4/5 They are usually super slow on drinks, even when I see 75% vacancy in restaurant. But the drinks are good and not watered down. Ambience: 5/5 Prob perfect lighting between casual and dimly lit. Big bar to sit at for singles. Value: 4/5 Most dinners are $25-$35

Food was not hot just warm Broccoli was practically raw, crunchy and not at all fork tender. Very heavy handed on the salt. I felt price point was good but food preparation needs some attention. Probably won't be visiting again anytime soon.
