    Guinness beer

    Service missed the mark. The server didn't write down orders, and my mom was served green peppers despite an allergy and a clear request to leave them off. The side plates were dirty and still had food on them. The Guinness was even worse. It arrived as mostly foam in a dirty glass at the bottom. After sending it back, it was simply topped off with the same foam and same cup. The third return wasn't much better. Extremely disappointing.

    Have you ever driven past a place many times and never really registered it as a hidden secret? My parents wanted to take me out to dinner and I needed to go to Clarkston. Serendipity happened. Their was an accident that diverted us and I looked up Buckshots on Yelp. We went in, grabbed a table, had not only an amazing, patient server Alisha, we had a wonderful dinner! I had to try the French Onion Soup. It was absolutely delicious as the pictures will show. Mom had a Reuben with handmade kettle chips. She said it was the BEST Reuben she had ever had. Dad had the ground beef nachos, a huge portion on a baking tray. I had them substitute the salsa for Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce. There were delicious!! The restrooms were spotless, the vibe was friendly and relaxed. We will definitely be back!

    Straight up north without being up north. Love the cabin vibe inside and they have a great large patio on the outside where they expanded and put in a small couch/gas fireplace area. They are known for their drinks, like their infused vodka drinks so be sure to ask the bartender about drinks before sitting down just incase you get a newbie server that has NO IDEA what specialty drinks they can make (speaking from experience). The spicy mango margarita is fantastic the sweet balances the spicy. They have a larger beer list, nothing too crazy with the craft beer, but still offer variety. The food is good and the portions are large. We went with straight comfort food selections and it didn't disappoint. The woodsmen could have been a meal of it's own. The quesadillas we could have split and the chicken bowl is straight from KFC famous bowl but better! I can't speak on service and my review does not reflect that, because as we know help is hard to find right now after shutdown, let alone experienced help. Just be patient and enjoy the atmosphere and your drink :)

    Dear reader, We…read morestopped into Parlay Detroit after the baseball game and to escape the rain, and it turned out to be a very solid move. The place has plenty of TVs, which made it easy to keep watching games and keep the sports-bar spirit alive a bit longer. The staff was pleasant and friendly, and everything felt easygoing in a way that suited the evening nicely. We got a few pitchers of beer at a great price, which certainly helped morale, and the French fries were an excellent bar bite option. From what others seem to enjoy as well, Parlay does a good job delivering that lively downtown game-day atmosphere without losing the simple pleasures of drinks, solid snacks, and a comfortable place to land. Overall, good postgame stop.

    Wow... what a BEAUTIFUL restaurant. At first glance, as I…read morearrived at valet, I was genuinely proud to see this Black-owned brick-and-mortar in person for the first time. Unfortunately, I did not anticipate that it would also be the last. The valet attendant was attentive and professional, and the host staff greeted me as I walked in. So far, so good! The bar wasn't busy, but I figured it was still kind of early and things could liven up. I was meeting friends for a birthday toast, and they were already seated at the bar. When I approached, we were very excited to see one another, so naturally, we took a moment to catch up. I noticed there was one bartender in the service well who was busy making drinks and therefore understandably unable to greet me. There was another bartender conversing with patrons standing next to my barstool and another bartender on the far end. Now, as someone with a background in food & beverage, I naturally exercise patience in casual dining atmospheres because service can be a little laxed--which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm not expecting the bartender to teleport across the room because I walked in. However, in this case, after greeting my friends, we wanted to do a round of shots in honor of the birthday girl. After several minutes, we still had not been approached by a bartender. Not to mention, the bartender conversing just to my right was STILL carrying on with the same gentlemen patrons. After a continued wait, the birthday girl decided to flag down the bartender, who acknowledged us with eye contact... ...and then continued her conversation. Ma'am. That was very unprofessional, but we were in such great spirits that we decided to overlook it and try to get the attention of a different bartender. Now, hindsight being 20/20, we should've left right then. This same bartender, standing not even 3 feet away from us, eventually finished her conversation and walked away. She actually ended up standing at the service well in plain sight of us, where she then pulled out her cellphone to devote some obviously much-needed quality screen time. We were in utter shock. Within a few moments, the bartender originally on the far end of the bar had made her way to our side to take a new set of patrons' order who had just appeared to my right. Once again, the birthday girl calls out and asks if it would be possible for her to assist us when she was done. To our dismay, the lady looks at us with absolutely ZERO emotion and simply states, "Yea." Not exactly the response we expected, but hey... it's Detroit. We are natives, although I no longer live locally, so we know customer service isn't necessarily the city's strongest suit. ‍ After Ms. Dead Emotions prepared drinks for the new set of patrons, she followed suit with the previous bartender and walked over to the service well for some R&R with Screen Time Girl. And THAT was the moment we realized these bartenders did not come to work... They came to clock in. At this point, I decided to ask for a manager. The nice woman I approached asked me what it was regarding, and I explained what we had experienced and told her it was disappointing, to say the least. She seemed rational and understanding and offered to send a waitress to the bar to serve us. I thanked her and went back to my seat. It was obvious that the bartenders had been made aware of my grievances because their demeanors and facial expressions suddenly had a LOT to say. At that point, we realized training, support, and customer service may be an unrecognized area of opportunity by upper management. The server was busy with tables but eventually made her way over. She seemed very nice. However, by that point, we had decided we would leave. As we sat there conversing about this unbelievable experience and discussing other bars we could go to instead, a few patrons walked up to our side of the bar to introduce themselves and ask about our plans and whether we would stick around to have a drink with them. When we informed them we were leaving, they asked why. We gave them the short version as we prepared to leave. Sadly, they weren't surprised--but they offered AGAIN to make it right. Imagine customers offering to make it right. ‍ Just before leaving, one of our group stepped away to the restroom. At that point, Screen Time finally walked up and, exasperatedly, asked if we wanted anything. IKYFL. The birthday girl, who is sweet-natured, was understandably disappointed, so I decided, you know what? We'll take a shot for the road. A simple Don Julio Repo shot took longer than it should have... ...but the bill came IMMEDIATELY. And, of course, an automatic 20% gratuity was the cherry on top. At this point, all I could do was laugh. Beautiful restaurant. Great first impression. Unfortunately, the actual experience was a completely different story. WE WILL NOT BE BACK.

    Visited for dinner on a Friday night. A little after 5:30p. I was sad to see that happy hour stops…read moreat 5:30p. Inside was pretty slow. By the time we left, it seemed to be a little more busy. I'm pretty sure there was only one waitress for both the bar and the dining room floor. The menus were sticky, especially the happy hour and drink my news. Lots of different cocktails. I ordered a margarita and was asked if I wanted a flavor. I asked for mango but then was told later they were out. So I went with blackberry. The drink was fine. It wasn't the best margarita I've ever had though. It's called O Grizzly's and there's some Oakland University nods inside. There were quite a few patrons wearing Golden Grizzly gear, there was a basketball game that night. But the place still feels gimmicky to me. A way to market Oakland University people and get them in the door but doesn't do much else after that. There really doesn't feel like a true affiliation with the University. Bathrooms are single stall and felt clean. The menu is not too overwhelming. Went with the blooming onions and they were absolutely delicious. Hot onions with a crunchy batter and a yummy dipping sauce. I went with the Tandoor wings as it was really played up on their menu. I got medium for sauce. My husband got chicken tenders and we ordered a side of fries. I was disappointed with my chicken wings. They were a good size but the skin was rubbery and some of the chicken tasted chewy. Also, the sauce was very runny, didn't really stick to the chicken wings. I am not sure where the Tandoor part was to the wing? They gave about five half sticks sliced in half of celery for nine wings, not enough at all. I asked for blue cheese but was given ranch. The fries were thicker, cut, and swirly, which are interesting and they had a good seasoning on them. Our waitress was friendly and decently attentive, considering she had to serve every table and run the bar. Food was coming out decently fast. But getting our check and cashing out took a while. It got to the point where my husband just went up to the bar where she was so we could cash out.

    Went for a second time, despite my last review…read more My son insisted on the chicken fingers again. Daughter required a pepperoni pizza. My wife had the fajitas and I decided on the Nashville Chicken Sandwich. The food came relatively quick. The chicken fingers were about the same but my son was happy. The pizza was pretty nondescript. I'd compare it to a low grade high school pizza with really nothing to recommend it. My wife appreciated the large size of the fajitas and salad but also found the fajitas unusually spicy. Sadly, the Nashville Chicken didn't really taste at all like Nashville Chicken. It wasn't bad but it just wasn't what was expected. The fries were good and we like the seasoning. But that's about the highlight of the night. I think this really will be the last time for me.

A friend had recommended the brewery and said they had good pub food so we decided to dine here. We dined outside on the patio and had a perfect view of the river below. We even ended up seeing the paddle boat as it docked!! I had a mocktail which contained housemaid watermelon juice, and ginger beer and was very refreshing. My nephew ordered a pizza with pepperoni and cheese, and I ordered the fish and chips. Both of us were shocked when the pizza arrived as its size was far from personal pizza size . It was at least a medium! You could tell it had been made in a pizza oven. The crust was nice and crispy and golden brown with a little bit of char on the back. Yum.!! My nephew who is somewhat of a pizza connoisseur said it was very good. It was loaded with cheese and plenty of pepperoni too. My fish and chips were supposed to be beer, battered in one of the ales that they make here but in all honesty it really didn't taste like it to me. It tasted like a standard frozen cod that had been pre-battered so I was disappointed. It wasn't that it wasn't tasty. It just was not what I expected. The coleslaw was also quite interesting. I'm not sure what it was made of, but it was not the shredded cabbage style, but I am used to -the french fries were french fries - nothing spectacular and did not taste like they had been fresh cut. I had asked our server what was more popular between the fish and chips and the schnitzel and she had advised the fish and chips were more popular and her own personal preference. We were both too full to even take a look at the dessert menu and again had plenty of food left over. My nephew took his pizza with him. Service was very good being outside. I know it had to have been kind of a pain to come and check on us periodically but our staff member did so with perfect frequency. I think I'd definitely return here to try a burger, but I can't recommend the fish and chips. My nephew definitely recommends the pizza.!!

For being an old Rite Aid it's very nicely spaced and capacious. 12 full bays along all the sides with trackman systems, waitstaff, full kitchen with a one page menu, and a good time. I had them make my own cocktail and they gladly complied. Bourbon- honey- lemon- soda. Solid refresher. Also tried the shrimp tacos; 2 tacos for $15... they were decent however two different types of tortillas aren't necessary so I had them bail the corn tortilla and go with the one flour. The shrimp could've been better; they were not well cooked and a bit slimy. The avocado crema was decent. My buds had smash burgers and they said they were decent. The people who work there are great... even sarcastic and funny. Perfect for my type of humor. It does add up a bit but $165 for 3 hours of sim time isn't bad and the systems are nice. Really dig all the unique seating options and tvs everywhere. I'll def be back to golf and to drink! Best new spot- best spot in Waterford.
