    Wings and bread sticks
    Love T.

    Food was great . My bread was a bit burnt but I ate around it . I didn't want to wait again haha No the wait wasn't long at . The vibe a dark and chill . Like the casino lol Overall I'd come back

    Alex is a great bartender and server. It was my first time and he suggested the best flavored wings and made the best Long Island I ever had. Alex is a bad MF! I love him

    Chicken wings
    Kilo A.

    Ordered a 20 piece wing..... they served me chicken nails or gizzards or chicken toes... whatever it was they weren't wings. Bartender said they were aware of the quality as they had to "hand cut" them themselves...said it was disgusting but yet still served them. Only positive thing I can say is they took it off the bill...but I wasn't paying either way. & my stomach has been hurting all day. I went yesterday

    10 up 10 Down

    visting detroit was in the mood for some wings but not just any wings. i wanted them to be legit. I was raised in the south so i know what good wings are. and these wings were on point. They were seasoned great with a little hint of lemon pepper. That surprised me and made me enjoy it more. They were the perfect size wings and not inflated like Wingstop wings. I was serviced fast and my food came out quickly and fresh. The seasoned fries were great as well to go along. Must try and i will be back when visiting detroit again.

    House wings

    Started working close to Bugsy's 2 years ago and decided to stop by one night with my roommate. So glad we did. The wings are so fricken good. They taste like your family's backyard BBQ. We get house wings with ranch and split a BLT w/ cheese. 10/10. Amber, Sam & Jaz are the icon trio of bartenders we fell in love with. But honestly all of the afternoon staff is super chill. Sometimes it's crazy busy and sometimes it's quiet and more intimate. They don't rob you for drinks, it's worth a stop. I've talked 8 of my coworkers into going and they end up ordering carry outs all the time now

    Delicious wings! They're small but packed with grilled flavor. A complete dive bar with great bartenders.

    It's been about a year since I've been here and the concept of this place still just blows my mind…read more It runs very well, and pretty much no staff. The business model is genius. A hostess who takes your money and gives you a bracelet, automated beer, and you use your phone to order from the kitchen, they text you and you go get your food. I wondered many times how they could serve alcohol and not monitor how much people were drinking? So I asked. The host is in the front said at the end of 32 oz is your bracelet will not work and you need to come up and see me to reset it. I guess that's how they would monitor whether or not someone could get another 32 oz? I'm surprised not more places have copied their business layout. With the new generation, this would be the place to go, you barely have to speak to anyone except for the people you're with.

    North End Taproom is a great addition to downtown Royal Oak!…read more This self serving bar is a brilliant idea and top notch implementation. They have simple pricing per ounce, a self serve with wristband model, and don't accept tips. Also, there was a great variety of Michigan beer, cider, and wine to taste. It was so nice to get up and pour our own drinks throughout. The food menu was small but mighty. My group has never been disappointed by a food order here yet! My go to are the fish tacos. They were delicious and fresh. As for the sides, both the fries and chips are a knock out! To top it all off, this place has games! There was a variety of card and board games. My group ended up with Codenames; a classic. RUN don't walk to North End Taproom!!!

    I will preface this by saying I didn't order a pizza. That being said I ordered the grilled cheese…read morewhich touted mozzarella, pesto, baby spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes on sourdough. I opted for the garlic fries upcharge, bringing my total to $19.00. Somehow I justified it because I like these toppings and these toppings weirdly weren't available on a pizza. Or at least I didn't see it via the phone based ordering system. Yes, that's right, this is all of the future check with wrist bands and pour your own beer situation. Don't look for a paper menu, they ain't here. My sandwich wasn't a grilled cheese. It was basically pesto toast with large sun-dried tomatoes and scraps of mozzarella. Baby spinach was just missing. I did inquire to the host (perchance the only actual employee?) and he did talk to the kitchen and I guess they were out. With that information I turned to my friend Robert and said, "You know why we have servers? So they can let you know they're 86 spinach." I suppose I would have adjusted my order had I known this too. What's nuts is, they have ingredients to make a better grilled cheese. I mean, step one: add cheese. Why not mix the ricotta and pesto together and then add like havarti or something that may actually melt and have flavor. The sun-dried tomatoes should be sliced smaller. The garlic fries were fine, but also could have had more flavor. Robert's and neighboring table's pizza looked fine. Is it better than any other place offering Detroit style pizza? Hard to say. I guess I'm not in a hurry to go back. The kind host did make an adjustment to my bill for lack of spinach--but having a server would have prevented that being necessary.

    I was heading home hungry when I passed Elephant & Co, a restaurant I had on my radar for months…read more It was way past lunch and well before dinner, so I was surprised by the steady stream of customers in this pizza/tap/game room, a difficult genre to define. Upon entering, the staffer explained the set-up to enjoy a variety of beers, poured and priced by the volume. Located at the back of the restaurant, customers can select beer flavors and serve themselves, no bartender needed. A tab is started and charged based on usage, tracked through the wristband provided to you. I ordered over mobile via a QR code, selecting pretzel sticks with beer cheese dip and a large, Detroit-style pizza. The soft pretzels were tender with a lovely crusty exterior. I inhaled the first pretzel since it was past lunchtime, savoring the salty, cheesy bites. I must admit, the pretzels' saltiness temporarily affected my taste buds because the pizza had little flavor, even with the pepperoni, sausage, and olives. I definitely did not taste the hot honey drizzle. I want to praise the light, airy crust. For a deep dish pizza, it did not sit heavy in my tummy. I also appreciated that the pizza was served on a rack, to allow air circulation and to prevent sogginess. The space was dark and had both large communal tables and smaller, intimate tables. This allowed for larger groups to enjoy community beyond a friend group. The other plus is the board games that are available to pass the time while enjoying various beers.

Went with a service animal and was denied entering by the manager. I asked for the owner who the manager called, then I'm guessing explaining the service dogs duty, then allowed us to enter. If that wasn't awkward enough, it took about 15 minutes for the bar tender to acknowledge I was there. Once I got water, put in a request for a drink, it was about another 10 mins to finally ask if I wanted to put in an order. Now, it was busy-ish but not to the point that it should have taken as long as it did. However, being patient, I asked for the ribs, a Cesar wrap and Cajun fries. I got plane fries, the ribs were literally cold, not like sitting a while and they were lukewarm no, cold. The wrap had no dressing, no cheese just lettuce and protein. Odd and no Cajun fries just regular. So, when I pointed these things out, shower her the wrap, fries, told her the ribs were cold, she offered to remake them, but by this time it being about an hour into sitting around I was just ready to go. She did end up bringing out some extra fries that were Cajun, she did seem to be trying but there was a weird dynamic, like I was the one causing the inconvenience. She took away the food, fries, I asked for the bill, and the items she took away, were still on the bill. She then asked me if I wanted them taken off.. I said well I didn't eat them and I don't have them. She then said, "I offered to have them remade" I said yes but I do have to go it's been an hour at this point. I paid, left a tip and realized that the experience was one for the books. Idk if I'll try it again. It was very uninviting, not very welcoming, time consuming, and not accurate or accommodating. At the least I hope they do educate those on ADA Service animals. And I'm talking about real service animals, not just your friends well trained adorable dog. Like, ask the required questions, is the dog for a disability, what work/task does it preform. We'll see maybe if there's improvement next time... maybe.

If it's something big come early cause it definitely gets packed pretty quick. I had the boneless wings with the Korean sauce and it was shockingly good. Boneless wings are a low expectation food for me, so when a sauce or the crisp really comes out excellent, I'm always genuinely surprised. The sauce was really the highlight, cause it balances flavor and heat perfectly, while also having some sweetness without being too sticky. What I really like about this spot is that they have around 110 draft beers on tap so it's really a craft beer lovers paradise. They also have some basic beers for those who don't have the love for crafts along with a full bar and curated cocktail list. So if you like the idea of an elevated sports bar, with solid food choices, and amazing beer list this is the spot for you.
