I've seen very mixed reviews of this place. But since we were without power and hungry, we decided to branch out and try somewhere new. I'm very glad that I did! We were greeted and seated right away. We weren't sure if there was going to be a wait since it was 6 PM on a Sunday. I got the salmon dinner. Initially, I was a little surprised by the price (over $30) since it was a sports type establishment. However, it came with two pieces of salmon and a good amount of sides. It was enough for two meals. Also got a kid pizza which I did not taste, but it looked good. Decent taper selection. The restaurant has an open feel with fun decorations and is clean. We'll definitely be back, hoping they stay soon with the good service and high-quality food. read more

Had great expectations and couldn't wait to finally go here!!! Unfortunately everything from my drink, app, meal and service was extremely disappointing. The jalapeño queso tasted like jar queso from Meijer with two sad sliced jalapeños on top. It was cold and the chips straight from Gordon foods were very stale. We told our waiter and asked for hot queso and fresh chips and got back the same dish....Waiter said he'd come back to check if it was better and never did. Probably because he knew we'd say it still was gross. DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON THAT. Our friends got the spinach queso , which was laughable. The same nasty queso we had with some spinach thrown in and same stale chips. For my meal I got the salmon club. What a waste of $20. It came as a triple decker, the top layer had the smallest piece of salmon and my other half didn't have any salmon on top. Suppose to have avocado on it, which it was minimum. And the "crab mayo" was not crab mayo , literally just plain mayo. I took it apart and ate the over cooked salmon instead. My husband got a burger which was dry and over cooked, I've never seen him not finish a burger in my life. On top of it all they "had" to put on 20% gratuity because we had 6 people in our party, ridiculous. Service was so slow for a Tuesday, when it was so dead inside. I can honestly say I'll never go here again or recommend this restaurant. Way better places to eat in SCS. read more

My friends raved about the wings.... they were pretty good. Not sure i would come all the way back to st. Clair shores for them but pretty good. The salad was good, I added salmon but didn't really have any flavor. Ok place for a sunday afternoon. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and omg, packed! Thankfully we had a reservation, so we were seated right away. I expected a little delay on the food because of the crowd but not a 45-minute wait. Geez! Our server was nice, no complaints there. The vibe? Full-on sports bar. TVs everywhere. Definitely a solid spot to catch a game or pull up with a group. The menu is pretty large too, so you have options. Let's get into the food: I ordered the Dox Burger on a gluten-free bun and upgraded to fries instead of the house chips. It was actually really good and I was NOT expecting a double patty. That was a lot of burger, but I wasn't mad at it. We also tried the Burn the Boat burger. It was good, but it needed way more bad boy sauce. I could barely taste it. The shrimp fajitas came out sizzling (love that for presentation), but the veggies were a little too charred for my liking. And the salsa? Not it. Everything else was solid though. For drinks, we had Cabernet and Prosecco. Both were good just slightly overpriced, especially considering the limited selection. Overall, it's a solid 3.5 for me. I'd come back and try something different, just knowing to expect a wait. read more

I would say this would classify almost like a high end sports bar, tons of televisions all throughout and if you look at the appetizer menu its like a higher end bar menu. But if you delve deeper into the menu, you see a wide variety from salads to sandwiches to wraps to wings to burgers to pizza to pasta. I mean it is a huge menu. Heck, they even have a Gabagool sandwich, how about that? Pretty awesome I thought. I went basic with the pizza and it was good, very well made. The venue itself is really lovely, huge space, vibrant color and neon against a black background. The service was also great also, even with the crowd, our server did a great job being attentive and making sure we were well taken care of. I would definitely come back. read more

The vibes inside were really cool and fun. I think they have an upstairs but not sure if it's additional seating or something completely different. We were only 2 people and the downstairs seating didn't look very busy where we were. I liked that there was variety on the menu and was excited to try the food. Our server took a while to get back to our table after bringing our drinks to take our order. The appetizers came out after some time and then the main dishes even longer after that. The mozzarella sticks were super tasty and came out perfect. The gabagool sandwich tasted good but got soggy and fell apart immediately to the point it was too messy to finish eating. I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap with pickles added but was surprised to see that they were sweet pickles when they placed a dill pickle on the plate with it. I asked for ranch to offset the odd taste but the server never brought it. We had to ask for napkins and refills and were lucky that our server even bothered to come by. It felt like forever. Once we had finished and boxed our food, our server disappeared and we were left stranded waiting to pay the bill. I had to ask another server passing through if she could get ours for us so we could leave. We ordered some wings with two different flavors to-go but when we got home and opened them it was the same flavor. It was more than a dissapointing experience. read more

I've been curious and maybe a little hesitant to try here but I'm very happy we did. I think the menu is pretty standard as far as options and a little pricey but overall our food and experience was good. The wings were cooked perfectly. The steak and chicken and dumpling soup were the best things were the best items from what we tried. And their cheesecake is also excellent, I liked seeing they were getting it from the Cheesecake Shoppe. I would say things were a bit messy, there were quite a few water spots in a somewhat slick floor. Also by the foot of the table they sat us at was a ranch dressing cup on the floor. Our server was a bit slow to come and greet us/take our order but once she got there was very nice and did a good job checking in with us. read more

The service was delayed and we waited 10-15 minutes to get a drink. The table was dirty and the salt shaker had dried up ketchup on it. The menus also were grubby. My friends steak was supposed to be pink in the middle but was served up cooked to death and not edible. We were completely disappointed from the first time we ate there 1-2 years ago. The Impression was that cleanliness was not A priority and apparently there are problems with the kitchen. We drove from Howell Mi to meet up w family. It's just another greasy, bar restaurant that clearly caters to young people based on the slow service, bad food and all around griminess . Thanks but no thanks, we won't be back. read more

We came here for Thanksgiving dinner to try out for the first time and it did not disappoint. We had reservations and when we got there we were seated right away. The staff was kind and attentive and answered all my questions about the food politely. It was a nice atmosphere that's literally lit with neon signs, a bar and plenty of sports on the tv's. The food was delicious. The party I came with loved each of their entrees. I would come back here again to try more things out. This place is nice and clean and has a newer feel to it as well. Definitely will recommend for a chill sports bar type of atmosphere with a modern twist. read more

We didn't have to wait and had great service. The Old Fashioned was great. My wife said her drink was a 6/10 and she wouldn't order it again. Pork chop was amazing. I wish I could make mine like that at home. My wife said the steak quesadilla was not great. She said the steak tasted like it was boiled (the menu says char-grilled) and that some pieces were quite chewy. read more

We got carry out and both ordered the same meal - crispy chicken sandwich. Question, where is the chicken?!? My Patty only took up half the bun so that I had half a sandwich and half a bun left. The taste was great, but just wish there was a chicken breast that filled me up and not the bun. The other issue isn't a deal breaker, but no one asked me what I wanted with my fries and no ketchup was put in the to go bag, come on, it wasn't busy when I picked up the food so it wasn't that they were too busy they just forgot. read more

Not satisfied with the food. Regarding service, we had Megan and she was very sweet we enjoyed the service a ton! We were seated right away and attended to. The first thing we noticed when we received our plates were that they were dirty. Right away that was a disappointment for sure. I had to scrape the leftover food off with my nail which I shouldn't have to do. The food was mediocre. I didn't personally have the pizza, but my friends said it was average and not worth the price. The mac n cheese was nothing special personally. Additionally, I found an onion -or at least that's what I think it was- in my mac and cheese. I originally thought it was part of it but I only found one so that tells me something wasn't supposed to be there (whether they didn't put enough or one fell in by mistake). The first floor is handicap accessible and there are options for indoor or outdoor seating depending on the weather. In conclusion, for the price and quality of the food, I wouldn't recommend; however, they do have cute drinks and a bar so it's more of a drink place than anything else. read more

Made reservations specifically for dinner and entertainment (MG Dueling Pianos). We arrived and they tried to seat us downstairs, however, the entertainment was upstairs. The (assumed) manager seemed super friendly and accommodating. They corrected this issue and we waited about 10 minutes in order to be seated where we initially requested to be seated when reservations were made, more than one month prior. The six of us were seated just in time for the enterainment to begin so that we could enjoy a drink before ordering. When the music started...great! Fun music! ...but it was so loud that you could not even hear our friends from across the table AND we were in the far back of the room.. not even near the entertainment. We told the performers during intermission and he pretty much told us to screw ourselves (not the fault of the restaurant) and made no effort to make the sound and music more enjoyable, by turning down the speakers. They were understaffed, so no fault of the waitresses, who did a great job trying to accommodate everyone upstairs. We waited a decent amount of time to get drinks and dinner. The drinks were VERY overpriced. That was a turn off for everyone. Even the beer was crazy expensive. The cheese bread was great. The green beans were VERY greasy (which later upset my stomach) but they tasted very good. The rice and wings were good and the Cherry Apple Walnut Salad and dressing was very good. Fish and Chips good, Chicken fajita was super good. Potato skins were good (they forgot the chives) and Chicken Parm good and the portion was hearty. One of our friends had the salmon and said it was outstanding. read more

We had my work Christmas lunch here today and it was pretty good. I got the ribeye steak --the steak itself--was genuinely excellent. Cooked to a perfect medium, it had a beautiful crust on the outside, was juicy and tender throughout, and carried that rich, beefy flavor that makes a good ribeye so satisfying. The seasoning was spot-on, and it was clearly a high-quality cut. The sides were solid too: creamy mashed potatoes and crisp-tender green beans that complemented the steak nicely. Unfortunately, the presentation let the whole plate down in a big way. Everything was piled haphazardly onto one large dinner plate: the piping-hot steak and green beans were plopped directly on top of a cold cucumber-and-tomato salad dressed with vinegar. Not only did this make the plate look messy and thrown-together, but the heat from the steak and beans quickly warmed the fresh salad underneath, and the vinegar dressing ran everywhere. As a result, several bites of steak, potato, and green beans ended up tasting unexpectedly tangy--like someone had drizzled vinaigrette over them. I enjoy a bright vinegar note in a salad, but I don't want it sneaking into my steak or mashed potatoes. Cold dressed salads and hot mains simply don't belong on the same plate; the temperature contrast and migrating dressing turn two good components into an awkward combination. It's a shame because the individual elements were well-executed, and with just a small change--serving the cold salad in its own bowl on the side--this would have been an outstanding meal. Verdict: The ribeye itself is worth returning for, and the kitchen clearly knows how to cook. I'll definitely go back, but next time I'll politely ask them to keep the cold salad separate. A minor fix like that would easily bump this from "good but flawed" to "great." Recommended with that one request in mind. read more

Overall, the service was absolutely incredible! The vegan option would include the hummus platter and take away the spicy feta. This is a great place to go watch a game and there's ample outdoor seating for the summer. I have to say overall I'll definitely be returning for the service because everyone was so friendly and accommodating. There's ample parking in the parking lot as well! read more

So- wow- what a building! Nice everything- bar, windows, etc. This spot has not been opened long and the last time I came it was a very long wait so did not stay. Today no waiting. Arrived. Ordered bear from a photo copied beer menu. I had to order 3 beers to figure out that it was the third one that they had. The waiter was pleasant and unfortunately did not appear to know what was, as they used to say in the day was "86ed" or not available on your server shift for people you were waiting on. We attempted to order an appetizer- the spicy cheese stick- also NOT AVAILABLE. And probably will never be again for those that are salivating on the internet looking at it. (As my BF was.) So- stellar part was the fried pickles. Ok, they did nail this and I do reccomend! Not even my favorite thing and very good Next part, actual meal. My soup, forgotten. Salad and taco burritos - no complaints and largely eaten. The babagool - great and innovative name- not a lot of diogiardano there... spare. And it was eaten. The fish and chips. Only order if you do not need malt vinegar. I felt a bit gaslit when I was told malt vinegar was NOT AVAILABLE. Forgive me, perhaps I have lived under a rock, however I've always had MALT VINEGAR available when I've eaten fish and chips at a restaurant. The coleslaw is also not good, tasteless. The fish was crunchy. That's all I can say. The "shoe string" French fries are not shoe string. They are regular fries . It will sadly, be more than a moment until I return and I'm sure I will- maybe just to drink once I've clarified what they actually have available. Wish I had better news. read more

I went for lunch last Wednesday and had absolutely no problems. The service was fantastic. I had a buffalo chicken wrap that was so good. The sandwiches come with chips but you have to pay $2.00 extra for fries...which is ridiculous. But they're really good fries. I found it strange that the place has a huge screen with multiple screens to watch different things. On the largest screen...they were playing Bluey. Bluey?? I mean. I do love Bluey. But in a bar in the afternoon? Ok. It was one of my favorite episodes...but still. I will definitely be back to Dox. I'd like to request that Power Rangers be on, though. read more

The wings and service was great. I look forward to coming back. Lorenzo is an excellent busser and is a stud muffin.

Finally checked out the new place in town, and I liked it! The interior is spacious with a huge bar (with comfy bar stools!) and TVs everywhere to see a game. We sat at the bar instead of waiting for a table, and our servers were friendly and efficient. I do wish that the beer list wasn't so basic, but it's not horrible either. The food was excellent! I had the shrimp quesadilla with a side of street corn. The quesadilla had lots of shrimp and was delicious. The street corn was served cold, which was weird but the smoky flavor was awesome. I'll definitely return :) read more

We just happened to be in the area and had been wanting to try this place out. Food was great, Ezra, our server was great. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because a couple of the dishes didn't look the cleanest to me . I spotted crumbs a couple times on the outside of a glass on one on a plate we were using to put the appetizers on. Of course , we sent them back but I don't know if it's the dishwasher or someone washing by hand . Other than that, service and food was great. read more

Mei, just not good. While the location is great this restaurant is just not good. We came for lunch on a beautiful sunny day. I expected it to be busy it was not, perhaps that was a sign? Initially we had planned to sit outside. They dont have umbrellas at the tables so you bake in the sun. We decided to sit inside. Service was very very slow. After waiting forever, our server brought us the wrong drinks. She was training a new server so that's not a good look. Our food took a very long time to arrive despite it being empty and only ordering salads. Then my salad was missing the chicken so I had to wait another 15 minutes. The salads were not even good. Mine was drowning in dressing and just underwhelming. I hope they get their act together and improve because they have a great opportunity. read more

Ezra was our server and we absolutely loved his personality and how professional he was!!!! Great server!!! Hugs, Peace, Kim

Tried the sampler platter, plenty of food. ( lunch for me for a week). Steak egg rolls very crunchy with a tasty sauce ( 4+) , mozzarella sticks( my fav. 5 ) crunchy, tasty. Onion rings ( 4) chicken tenders 4+, potato skins(3). I like them a bit cheesier. My waitress, Venessa, was very friendly, attentive and quick. I asked for the MSU game and they put it on. A little noisy, great for games, maybe not so much for dining. I will be back. read more

I had heard a lot of hype about this place and I honestly wasn't impressed. I will say the decor and set up is nice. Very modern, large bar area but could use more seating. I believe more is coming on the second floor so hopefully that helps. The food was sub par, very under seasoned, particularly the mozzarella sticks and fries. I got the salmon blt and while the salmon was good, the way the sandwich is set up is not great. It's too thick with 3 pieces of bread, so it was difficult and messy to eat bc the salmon and avocado kept sliding off, it would be better with less bread. There was a crab mayo that I couldn't taste. My husband got the chicken bacon racon quesadilla which he said was good, but the ranch was underwhelming. However we both agreed the bacon was great. It was Thick with a smoky flavor. we went for the lunch before there was a huge rush and service was just okay. Just felt like a miss, Maybe we'll try again but I wouldn't rush back. read more
