The tv was playing espn 8 the ocho, which allowed me to introduce my wife to Slipper Stairs. The food, was delicious. I tried the bbq chicken Cobb salad for the first time. It was so delicious, such a big serving too, I could not finish it all. Overall it was a really good experience.

Elote Queso with chips was very good. Grilled cheese with the tomato soup was great. The burger was filling. The Vegi quesadilla had good flavors, the chips were either stale or not cooked all the way but still good to munch on. The chicken sandwich was massive and had good spice. Overall good experience and would come here again to try other items.

For a Royal Oak bar, prices are very reasonable for drinks and food. It's a fairly large place and can usually accommodate a group in the early evening, though that might be tougher as the night goes on. I normally just go with my husband and we find spots at the bar. It's a clean enough place with a decent bar food menu and good prices. In RO, that's about the best you can ask for.

It's an easy place to settle in, whether you're grabbing a drink, meeting friends, or easing into a weekend. I love that they have brunch now, and it's legit. The Dubai pancakes are a must--flavorful, indulgent, and straight-up beautiful. They also know how to properly scramble an egg, which sounds basic until you realize how many places mess that up. We eat with our eyes first, and the food here always looks as good as it tastes. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. Great drinks, great food, great vibes. Definitely a go-to spot in Royal Oak--and one I'm always happy to highlight as @DonnyLB on IG/TikTok. Check me out and check this place out.

I ordered the CKN & Waffles. It was lackluster at best. I tried the CKN separately, as well as the…read morewaffles to taste the flavor. Both had no distinctive taste outside of breading/dough flavor. I then tried them together and the blandness was compounded. I was extremely hungry, but could only stomach just over one waffle and one chicken strip. The presentation was nice and Ckn was crispy. Additional seasoning could take the dish to something more than just nice presentation.

I also really liked the Street taco options, with multiple choices available for vegetarians. Service was friendly and prompt. They were able to handle our group of Tene, that was split between two tables quite slowly. A good place to take a family or other large group.

Incredible burgers, great drinks, and that perfect old-school dive bar vibe you just can't fake. It's the kind of place that feels comfortable the second you walk in. The atmosphere is always solid, and the staff is amazing--friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of the place. Whether you're grabbing a burger, having a few drinks, or just soaking in the history, Ye Olde Saloon never disappoints. If you're in downtown Royal Oak and haven't been here, you're seriously missing out.

Food was way off tonight. Came in with my girl for a couple burgers and fries. No biggie, or so I…read morethought. Both mine and my ladiy's burger were ordered medium rare; what we received resembled two NHL hockey pucks, only slightly warmer on a sloppy, sogggy bun. UNEDIBLE. Gross. We showed the barkeep and she agreed to have th re-made. Fast forward another 20 minutes and they were over-cooked again. I haven't experienced this here ever before. Something seemed off. Caitlyn, the barkeep took care of our drinks for the inconvenience. Upon leaving, I saw the "cook" outside smoking a cigarette and sipping off a flask. I love this place, but if your kitchen staff can't hold it together, maybe it's time to look at other options. Thanks to Caitlyn for being as accommodating as possible. Next time I'll order something no-brainer, like some tatertots.
