Nice burger joint in Commerce. My "Beef" burger at 1/2 lb was large, well made, quite juicy and…read moretasty. The burger was made out of a blend of beef short rib and brisquet with fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and a specialty sauce. The sauce while good was something I would change in the future to straight up mustard as I think the burger would have been better based on personal preference. The burger also came with a side where I chose their house fries which were excellent and one of the better fries I have had in the area. Relative to staff and facility, the restaurant has a compact footprint which limits the amount of tables this business has along with counter seating. Something to keep in mind if you are headed here during busy dining hours like a Friday or weekend nite. Staff was very friendly with prompt service and nice followup throughout the meal. Overall a nice dining experience where if Burgers are your thing you should definately check this business out.

I went to Moe's because I was intrigued by the name. There is an actual barber shop right next to…read morethe restaurant. I almost walked in there accidentally! I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Their menu is small, and I almost regretted stopping in -- especially with the loud, possibly inebriated customer at the bar. But, I did find something that intrigued me -- the Moe's salad. It was a large plate of lettuce, cucumbers tomatoes, lovely grilled mushrooms and olives (which I wish I'd seen on the menu because I would have asked them to leave them out) with a large sliced burger on top. There was also a LOT of bleu cheese. I'm not much of a fan of bleu cheese, so I ate some of it, but left a lot. The salad was pretty good, and certainly large. The iced tea was also perfect -- I didn't need to add any sweetener to it. It seems like one of those places that locals go to; most of the other customers were greeted by name as they walked in. I didn't have any pickles, though.

The jalapeno poppers were basically two jalapenos cut into eight chunks, the breading on the poppers was actually tuff and hard to chew. The side of onion rings were cold to room temperature at best and not flavorful. Our friends got the Reuben sandwich, there looked to be a 1/4" of meat and a 1/2" of coleslaw on the sandwich. Sorry, we won't be back.

I liked the chips, not sure if you can upgrade to fries, but I also got a garlic parm waffle fry with their aioli. It was tasty. We also tried the BBQ rip lollipops. They were meaty and filling. They came with celery and blue cheese or ranch, we got the blue cheese. I like that the ribs came with a veggie, good choice not to only do carbs as sides. I am sad that I did not try the lobster roll, but I felt that I should get what they are know for first before venturing outside the box. The people working here seemed friendly and helpful. We were able to order and pick up in a reasonable amount of time, it was packed here in general. I am not sure about using the QR code, I just went to their trailer and ordered in person. This place is a big expensive for what you get, it is typical of food trucks to have small portions and high prices. But, if you are eating here, you are paying for an experience. This is a party atmosphere for all ages. You can eat outside, which we did, or inside. They have lawn games outside and arcade games inside on two levels. I would eat at this place again. I would just like to see perhaps a larger fry portion or slightly cheaper burger price.

We had a great experience at The Tavern, Kitchen and Bar in Fenton, Michigan. Normally, I don't eat…read moreout near this office, but I haven't been feeling well during my visit. I am too tired to cook so we explored several new dining options. This being one of them. The weather here is glorious. Gentle breeze, not too humid and about 80°, which is far from the high 90s. I would be experiencing at home. I have been enjoying the mocktails I've been trying so I also ordered one here. It was also watermelon based and very good. We sat out on the patio and after I moved out of the direct sun it was a very comfortable. Taylor was our server and was great -giving us plenty of time and some good suggestions. My nephew, who loves Bavarian style pretzels, ordered that for an appetizer this evening not only was it huge, but it came with three different items to dip it in! Cheese, Jalapeño Cream Cheese, and Cinnamon Butter! Each one had been freshly made and whipped and was very good. The pretzel was as late and fluffy as a Bavarian pretzel could be and was nice and warm so the perfect item for dipping in the above mentioned delicious dips! The nephew ordered Chicken Parmesan and also ordered some Roasted Parmesan crunchy Potatoes as his side, I ordered the Pecan Crusted Chicken Breast over a lovely Green Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette on the side. Both of our entries were delicious and my nephews Parmesan crusted roasted potatoes were also very good. We each admitted we would definitely order them a second time and maybe even a third!! It was very pleasant dining on the patio. Our server Taylor was very attentive and checked on us frequently, ensuring we had everything we needed. This place was very busy, essentially packed and obviously a very popular place for Friday night diners! We could understand why and we would definitely like to come back!!

I was told this was Fenton's best dining. Spinach and artichoke dip had no salt and the dip was grainy - almost gritty. It tasted better with salt. My ribeye was greatly overcooked, and for a $45+ steak, you want it cooked correctly. I sent it back and the second ribeye was somehow more burnt and also included a lot more fat. It was so bad it seemed almost intentional the second time. Mac and cheese tasted packaged/pre-made with grocery store bacon bits on top. The garlic potatoes were good. We waited for our check for 20 minutes after eating. Staff members were leaned against the bar and talking, scrolling cell phones, playing with their hair - while looking over at us repeatedly. I finally stood up to go to the front and three waitresses all came over at once and took my card. The manager came over to bring the card and apologized for the delay. Wouldn't come back - if this is Fenton's best, go to another town over for dinner!

We got the spinach artichoke cheese dip, calamari, beer flight, fish tacos, sliders, truffle fries, power bowl with blackened salmon. Too bad their Fog's Mac & Cheese comes with bacon and pulled pork, but it was possible to replace the meats grilled chicken with no up charge. They wouldn't let my FIL have two cheeses on his slider without added fees. Our dinner portion was $99.64. The spinach cheese dip is light on spinach and rather salty. It's so-so. I spilled the mason jar as it slipped out of my hand back onto the table. Oops. The water dumped enough all over the table and our dip and chips too. Guess we are done eating that then. We cleaned it up the best we could with the thin dinner napkins. No one came back by this check up on us and take care of the now water logged table. We should have put in our order earlier. The calamari is too bad, the meat is tender. Crust is just slightly crunchy. The fries are maybe a bit undercooked, wilted too. The sliders are good. The fish tacos aren't bad, meat is still tender. The rice is blah. The Mac & Cheese is good, creamy. Cavatappi noodles are a great noodle for this dish, holds creamy goodness in each bite. The grilled chicken is dry. The power bowl is meh, the veggies seemed to be sautéed in the sweet chili sauce, not for me, would have rather have a soy sauce based sauce for this power bowl. It was way too sweet for me. The blackened salmon is not too bad, although a tad dry. Service got better after our order was placed, the start of it wasn't so good.

Just got a home improvement idea‼
