Went here for dinner and it was trivia night. Lots of people, but no wait for a table, the music wasn't too loud and our waitress Olivia was super nice. Had the appetizer steak bites which are very tasty (just wish there were more for the $18 price) and my husband had a burger which he loved, perfectly seasoned and an actual burger that was more than a 1/2 inch thick. I ordered fish and chips. It was probably some of the best I've ever had, lightly breaded but not the usual tempura batter (you know, the stuff you bite into and it's soft and white on the inside or completely falls off the fish). They were crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. We will definitely be going back there. read more

I see 2 different locations of Hamlin Pub in Rochester Hills so I'm posting this on both because this is a very serious matter that the public needs to know about and be handled immediately. Are you guys going to respond to the alleged sexual predator issue going on with your head manager Jacob Wutka or what? A post (the text in quotes below) is circulating around, there are plenty of comments from past employees corroborating your guys hiring of and keeping predators employed and these comments talk about this issue being existent years ago. Time to address this regardless of what is going on. You cannot run from this. We will not let it happen. The circulating post: "Meet Jake. Jake is a current registered child registered sex offender who is a current employee at the Hamlin Pub in the downtown Rochester area. Jake was charged with having sensually charged contact with a minor under the age of 18. Jake was involved some time back in a sting operation ran by none other than Chris Hansen, which led to his initial charges and current status as a child sex offender. As a former employee of hamlin pub who worked closely with Jake for the last couple of months without any knowledge of his past crimes, I am very well informed by the fact that, since he is employed as a head manager at this Hamlin Pub location, has minors from high-school around the surrounding area (adams, rochester, stoney creek) currently working and employed under his care. I made my own attempt to confront management and ownership of the fact that they currently employ a registered child sex offender with the management and supervision over minors in high-school, I was subsequently and permanent tresspassed from the property on part of management and ownership as a result of bringing this information to light. Please do your due diligence to make this individual famous around your own communities and around the rochester and rochester hills areas as well. Please share this post with friends, family and neighbors so that we can cultivate a culture of accountability towards these deplorable sex criminals within our own communities. Jake clearly shows within his own mugshot that he expresses no remorse for any of his actions or criminal conduct, and should be placed in an environment in which high-school minors are frequently employed at. Here is the address and contact info of the hamlin pub in rochester: +12489632252 1488 N Rochester Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48307" read more

The burgers are meaty and cooked to order. The amount of beers on tap is excellent. The daily specials are always a good deal. Service is particularly good even during busy times. The ambiance is dark and appropriate for a pub. read more

Food is always pretty good. Some things are a little over priced. Waitresses are all nice. Been going there for over 20 years. The inside is dark and kind of dingy, they need to update it a bit. But usually pretty solid read more

First time here - great place lots of tables and wonderful menu items. We had the fries and soft pretzels which were so so SO good! We will be back! read more

We go in once a week generally. Veronica, Leah, and Emily have served us and they have been great. They are very attentive and go out of their way to make sure we are satisfied. The Manager has welcomed us on several occasions and made us feel right at home. Food is excellent! read more

Service at the bar has been getting worse in the past two years. Tonight was the last opportunity they will have to serve me. Dinner and the salad were served at the same time. Salad was in a warm bowl which wilted the lettuce. She did not bring silverware so couldn't eat it anyway. Ten minutes to get her attention, at which time she said she would get to me in a minute. By the time she came, dinner was cold and salad was uneatable. Kitchen's fault not hers ... Whatever, she was loud and obnoxious when I complained. I have been going there a lot less lately and now will not go back. The mistakes are not the problem, it's her reaction and lack of a solution. Good-bye Hamlin Pub. read more

We went to lunch on 11-6-2025, I asked for a Bloody Mary , the server came back to say they didn't have the mix for it. I ordered the Hot Italian Sub Sandwich . It came with an old sub bun that was crumbly not fresh and soft, then my cheese was cold not hot and stringy . Very disappointed in the food, Service was excellent and she felt bad for my dinning experience. read more

First off, this place is DARK. Super old fashioned place in desperate need of an update. Reminded me of an old, beat down church. The food though was good. Server was good. Don't think I'll go back cause of the creepy factor. read more

We've always have the ordered the gallon of the Chicken n Dumpling Stew. Always had 4 quarts order for the gallon of this soup. Was a staple in our home for over 30 years. Now upon ordering I received 4 quarts that were only half full so a half gallon, but charged a gallon size and accustomed if taking soup Out of each container standing there. Almost $55 for one soup and scammed I'll never recommend this establishment ever after this. Think twice before you ever order a carry out. Not looking for a response nor an applying after this point. Managers need to be fired due to such negligence and charged me twice of what I received. Luca J Hudson. read more

Good food, great price and always exceptional service. Great place for a group. Good variety on the menu.

Pizza was over cooked,like it sat out all day!!! Ranch dressing was very watery but it didn't make the pizza crust any softer!!!!

No matter what you order the food is always great! The waitresses and bartenders are always super busy but they seem to get the job done and still have a smile on their face. I like the atmosphere because it's friendly and fun and you can hang out as a large group or just as a one person looking for a good meal and conversation. read more

Went last Thursday during 1/2 price pizza special. The pizza was dreadful, sauce was not flavorful and the pizza came out cold, cheese was flat out cold. I ordered a cup of the chicken stew and a person at my table ordered a bowl of the same, my cup was bigger than his bowl at 1.50 less. We did have a great time playing Bar Bango read more

Loved the new remodel, had high hopes for becoming a regular if not for the Flys swarming the place, and the food being extraordinarily "meh, " with super tough chicken in the Chicken sandwich, and tiny little pieces of steak in the Steak Salad, served with wilted lettuce. Server was LESS THAN IMPRESSIVE, agreeing to come back with extra salad dressing but instead totally forgetting and spending her time chatting with the sparse clientele nearby and other servers. Upon arriving home the disgusting Chicken promptly ended up in the toilet! Looks like a hit & a BIG miss! read more

The food and service were both great! Had the Wow burger from the summer menu and it did not disappoint. Reminded me of a burger I used to get when living in Minneapolis. This burger should be a regular on the menu. The rest of the party had sliders and a steak sandwich. They too were pleased with their meals. read more

Sarah is the best bartender I have ever had, she was so attentive to my beer needs and I never had a empty glass. My half off pizza special tonight was excellent. I can't say enough good things about Sarah and this Hamlin Pub. I will be back. read more

Great place to relax and have a beer . The live music is a nice addition. Sometimes the bigger bands over power the room but usually it is pretty good. read more

Location: Tienken and Rochester. ordered carry out, stood waiting for 20 minutes after the time it was supposed to be ready. Inquired why it was taking so long manager was extremely rude. Not the first problem with this location. Staff rude/standing around on phones etc. read more

This used to be my favorite place for casual food and happy hour. No longer. I have been several times in the last few weeks. The menu has changed as have the portions. I used to order lake perch on Fridays. Lake perch has changed to some other kind of perch - probably ocean perch. Lake perch is more expensive, but the price is the same. I have ordered fish and chips both full and half order $12, full $14. Full order was 3 pieces, half two pieces. Now full order is $16 with only 2 pieces of fish; half order is 1 piece of fish for $12. None of these changes is mentioned on the menu. I have also ordered the southwest cobb salad. Most recently the chicken was Minuscule . Looked like about 10 pin-head pieces, rather than the previous several large pieces of cubed chicken. Price is the same. Hamlin Pub must be in financial straights to have sacrificed quality and quantity. Might as well go to McDonalds or White Castle; the food is better. If I could figure out how to change the 4 Stars to two, I would have. This place is a huge dis's appointment. read more

Local guy here. Can recommend for food, service, and atmosphere. How a pub should look and feel. Top sports TV options. Cool place. Recommend perch dish. read more

Stopped by for a beer and some take-away. Sun was out. Folks were friendly and chatty. Beer was cold and tasty. Food came really fast and I got to hang for a bit with the locals while I finished my drink. Once I got the food home it was still warm and just about perfect. Fish n chips, always a winner. New Salmon bowl, amazing. Brussels Sprouts minus bacon. So good. Food was great. Staff was great. Customers were great. read more

My boss mentioned she really enjoyed the burger Tuesday special.... so, I schedule a team event and we ended up eating some burgers! Overall, the food was good, if you love traditional bar food. My co-workers had mozza sticks, burgers, fries and some delicious drinks! The atmosphere was fun, the music is great and the place was crowded with a diverse crowd! I am not sure if this was due to burger Tuesday? read more

This place was halfway decent. Irish pub with TV's playing the football games all around. We seated ourselves when we got in, and I wasn't sure what to expect after arriving. The place could definitely use a facelift, that's for sure. Plenty of seating with a decent menu. We went with Sliders and were happy with how filling they were. Service was fine, and everything was okay. The place was kind of dark but we could still see what was going on. I imagine a different crowd comes in later on in the evening, but we were there during dinner hour. Some were eating, like us, others were having a drink at the bar while we all watched the game. I think aside from a decent facelift inside, this place seems to be the corner bar type. Nothing bad but nothing exciting either. I would come here if I just wanted to grab a drink alone or something, and not be bothered. Maybe grab an appetizer as well. I don't know if they have happy hour specials, but they do carry a decent selection of drinks to choose from. If your looking for fancy swag, this may not be your place. Corner bar type really. read more

Went there two days ago and ordered a basket of sliders, they were put in small plastic bags. The buns were wet from the heat of the burger, very disappointing the sliders were very good in the past. This will no long be a restaurant I will eat at if I want a sliders. read more

This restaurant in Rochester hills has the rudest and unprofessional staff I have ever encountered. They ignore you when you walk in and when you ask for anything they act like you're bothering them . The manager is definitely in the wrong profession he supports their behavior. On one occasion there was hair in the food and all they did was replace it. Definitely not an establishment I would recommend. The staff also gossips and talks about patrons. read more

Great service and good food. I love the live music. Always a good time. Fantastic place to meet up with friends.

This location has bad food, it's just a watering hole. Tienken makes everything fresh and it's worth driving two more miles.

Two locations now in Rochester. Food is adequate but service is slow at times. It's more of a dive bar than a restaurant. read more

I have been a customer here for 35 years. I won't be back! The bartender is to busy playing games with her friends to wait on customers. Moving on! read more

Great food and good service, my daughter loves the chicken and dumplings when she's sick. They have delicious burgers. My parents love their sliders and pizza. They have a great beer selection. When my grandfather was dying my family would come together at Hamlin pub for a few nights a week for some good comfort food. They helped us get through a tough time and provided great food. Thanks Hamlin pub!!! read more

The food is very good for when you're in the mood for traditional American bar food. We had the steak tips and Jim Beam Bacon Burger. I was impressed with the steak tips because the blue cheese wasn't overwhelming, and it complimented the steak and the buttery sauce, 10/10. The Burger was a bit sloppy with the amount of BBQ sauce for me, but my friend loved it and he likes BBQ more than I do. Our waitress didn't check on us after our food was served, so after 15 mins of being done eating without seeing her, I asked someone else for our check, and he profusely apologized and gave us a small discount for the wait. This was great, service is key for me, but we all have busy nights, and the fact that the manager took care of it politely really spoke volumes to me about the leadership at this place. The atmosphere was good, the music is loud and the place is always crowded. I don't recommend sitting by the stage unless you're a die-hard fan of that day's band because you won't be able to have a conversation at all. It's a great place to have a night of music and drinks with friends. read more

Came there with my husband on his birthday. We sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited for a table. They called us to let us know our table was ready. We sat for 27 minutes (we happen to know the exact time since they called us) waiting for someone to greet us at our table, no one ever came. Tables around us were getting served, still no one acknowledged us. We left and went down the street to Too-ra-loo and had AMAZING service. Very disappointed we even wasted our time going to Hamlin first, won't happen again! read more

My coworker and I ordered the Angus Classic burger via door dash. It was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! The description says premium Angus beef, so does the frozen burgers at Walmart (they actually taste better). I was expecting a fresh burger but by the shape and texture of the burger its clearly a cheap frozen patty. The burger was not cooked to the temperature I requested, I did not receive the fries ordered and they were cold. Condiments would have been nice also. Ended up throwing the food in the trash. We called the restaurant to voice our concerns and the person who answered basically didn't care. Will never order from there again and will tell anyone who will listen about the terrible food and service. read more

Hamlin Pub - Angus beef burger patty - New American Near Me - Rochester Hills, Michigan

Went there specifically for the perch dinner that I heard was good and reasonably priced. Walked in on a Friday night, not too busy and sat down. Proceeded to wait about 15 minutes before my husband went up to a group of waitresses near the bar and asked them if we could be served. In the meanwhile, our waitress had walked up to a couple at a bar table and asked for their drink order within a minute of them sitting down. The waitress was very apologetic when she finally came over to our table and took our drink order. I ordered perch and my husband ordered sliders off the happy hour menu. The perch dinner was lukewarm, although the perch was tasty. My husband said the sliders were okay. We both understand in these trying times that getting people to work is difficult. I always tip at least 22%, if not more for really good service. I appreciate that people are coming into work and that I can go out to dinner because of that. With that being said, there are many restaurants with better service and better food, so we probably won't be going back. Unless of course I'm craving perch and want it cheap. read more

I've noticed that the "burger specials" are not the same as the regular menu burgers . They are like many GFS Patty's, not hand formed like at dinner time regular priced burgers. Pizzas were my frequent purchase for $11.00 Now they include a small salad for a substantial up charge. No thanks. The great pizza deal is no more read more
