    Great place for Friday happy hour! Top shelf Long Island.
    LeAnne P.

    Cutter's is a long-standing bar that many frequent for happy hour and other events in Eastern Market. Known for their delicious burgers, strong drinks, and friendly servers, the neighborhood bar feel is always a welcome reminder to not be a stranger. Cutter's never disappoints.

    Steak Bites Salad
    Shawn S.

    Delicious! And stuffed with toppings as you can see. This salad was so fresh and the wait time was maybe 15 minutes. The barmaid was extremely nice and continuously checked to see if anything was needed. She gave me 4 containers of ranch dressing. There was nothing skimpy about this restaurant. The ambiance was quiet on an early Saturday afternoon.

    Heard so many good things about Cutters and was extremely disappointed. Very underwhelming. No need to ever return. The waitress was nice nasty. Moving to fast, never gave us her name, appeared irritated with our requests...she was to busy talking to her friends at another table. I had to call her over a couple times. The food was horrible. Two of us were served cold wings. When we asked for new ones she said they were being friend to order. Absolutely no way. Cold to the touch. I requested replacement of catfish bites n fries. The fish was greasy as it left standing grease on my plate, the fries were cold and tasted of old grease. The atmosphere was basic. Nothing special. Bar was actually a little cold. I've had good bar food and Cutters isn't it. It's unfortunate really. Good food and service keeps people coming in.

    We stopped in for an early lunch. I usually get the steak bites here but opted for the Cutter burger this time. This is an excellent burger stuffed with bacon and cheddar cheese on top. Service, as always, was very kind and friendly. The area is clean and welcoming. I'm glad we had a chance to come back.

    Ok don't be fooled by the appearance. 11/8/2025 we were at the Eastern Vintage Market and just happened to come across this place. OMG, it's FABULOUS! The staff is welcoming and attentive and the place is clean and fun. Probably the best texas toast I've ever had and the onion rings, OMG simply amazing. My chicken tenders were flavorful with spices and FANTASTIC too. My husband had fries with his quesadillas and he loved! The serving sizes are on the larger side so come hungry or perhaps split the meal. Also, Faygo cola is the brand they serve here. I hear it's a Detroit locally made beverage and I couldn't tell the difference between Faygo and Pepsi, it was really good. Please stop in here if you are in the area. The staff couldn't have been better.

    Good burger and fries. I ordered the burger medium well. It came well done but was still good. The fries were handcut and crispy outside but light inside. We came around 5:30 on a Thursday, there was already a decent crowd at the bar and the music was super loud and we had to yell to talk. Just be aware of that if you're looking for a chill spot to have a conversation or have kids.

    The service was good, our waitress was friendly. I enjoyed everything. I just wish they played music constantly instead of having to pay for songs. People kept buying songs, so you didn't really notice until the music stopped. I have no complaints about any of the food. I ate every darn fry, even the little ones. Everything was cooked as we ordered, so I'll be back real soon. If you're downtown in the eastern market district, I recommend you give this place a try. Oh, and they have a full bar.

    If you find yourself in the Eastern Market area this is a place to stop at. What can I say...I mean it's Cutter's!! If you want a Cheers vibe well this your to go to spot. The drinks are good and the food is even better. You must know though that it can get pretty crowded and you will be standing but well it's worth it.

    I recommend you call ahead to see if they are open for business. I arrived yesterday to a closed business with this posted sign: CLOSED BECAUSE OF FIRE

    So, I had a yelp event down here last night and had an hour or so to kill between work and the event. I found that this place was the closest, and I thought I would give it a shot. It seems to be a hit or miss place, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in. Finding the place was easy enough, but parking was on the street. Walking in, the place isn't huge, but had a bar area and a decent sized seating area in the back with a wall dividing it. Place was kind of dark and gloomy. I reviewed the menu and realized that they had a variety of different types of meals here. Some were expensive and fancy ($26 for shrimp and steak) down to meals like Grilled cheese and sliders. I wasn't super hungry, so I didn't want a huge entree. I ended up getting the grilled cheese to hold my stomach since i knew I was going to be drinking beer in an hour or so. My server was rather quiet, but took my order and brought my food out for me as well. Not the quickest or fastest place, but I had time to kill so I wasn't in a rush. It kind of worked to my advantage this time waiting for everything. I did like her, as she was efficient and got my order correct. I will say, the place could use some attention in regards to upgrading their bathrooms. They weren't in bad shape, but I felt like they needed a fix or to? I dunno. I know lots of people love this place, and I wouldn't discourage you from going here, but I wasn't overly impressed.

    We returned to try the buffalo wings - they're decent. Breaded and fried well, lots of sauce,…read morehomemade dips. We also tried the fried chicken muffaletta sandwich and burger with tots and crinkle fries. The chicken sandwich is really tasty if you like olives, which I do. It came out on a nice seeded bun freshly fried and hot. Yum. Hubby enjoyed the burger and added bacon - they have really nice thick sliced bacon. It was cooked perfectly with a nice soft bun. I'm pretty sure the fries and tots are just frozen and presented well - at $11 and $12 for those, you might just skip those and get the meatball parm sliders because they're seriously delicious. I plan to return just for those - they're the best thing on the menu. Homemade patties and sauce; top notch. But, the crinkle fries do come with this yummy homemade malted mayo as well as ketchup, and I really enjoyed that. The tots are dusted with a spicy salty seasoning which made them maybe a touch too salty. Both of those came out super hot and crispy though, which I definitely appreciate. Overall, a very tasty meal that had care put into it. The host and server were both very friendly and our service was perfect. It's a little pricey for bar food, but at least it's good bar food, and you can't beat the ambiance for sports. Solid.

The beer list online (which I reviewed to prepare myself) was not entirely accurate. Their beer list on the wall didn't really explain what anything was so for people, such as myself, from outside the area and unfamiliar with the local breweries it was a challenge. I can see how it would be fun to come here with a group.

Fair to say the Asian Chicken Salad is good, but not great. It's a massive portion with plenty of Napa cabbage and spinach, providing that much-needed crunch. However, the grilled chicken was a bit of a letdown--it really needed more flavor and seasoning to hold its own. The saving grace and clear highlight were the spiced cashews. They actually had some personality and stood out as the best part of the dish. It's a solid enough choice if you're looking to stay on the healthy side while hanging out in a sports bar, but it's not a "must-order. Plenty of screens for sports viewing, and lots of beers on tap (obviously), staff service was good.

She's in poor health, and in the chaos of leaving home I forgot to bring something to wrap her nighttime medication in. Since TAP has turkey sandwiches on their menu, I explained that I was a hotel guest and asked if they could spare a small piece of turkey - just enough to wrap a pill in for an elderly dog upstairs. A kitchen worker (who was very nice, by the way) offered to check, but the chef refused outright. Not "this is against XYZ policy," not "we're too busy," just a flat no. I was standing right there for the entire exchange. Anyone genuinely suited to a hospitality role would have recognized this as an easy moment to generate some goodwill, but instead, the chef shut it down without a second thought. I spent a lot to stay at the MGM Grand Detroit Hotel, and this interaction left a genuinely negative impression of MGM overall. It made an already difficult day worse. I truly hope the individual who refused this request can one day recognize that hospitality is built on moments exactly like this.

A half hour later, I asked her about headphones again, and she told me the restaurant was busy and she didn't ask. I thought wow -- sister-to-sister, you didn't even bother to ask. I told her I would buy them, rent them, I just needed to jump on a Zoom. I jumped on anyway, I just couldn't participate the way I wanted to. The restaurant has a bar of about a dozen stools. There was one bartender. In all my life, I've never seen a bartender move this slowly. I don't know if it was me, but she definitely found every excuse she could to wait on me last. Most bartenders are very personable, a bit flashy, competent . . . she was slow, flat and dare I say, she doesn't like her job? I was blown away. I'm glad I made it to Buddy's. I will never go back. I will not recommend this location.
