Shamrock Pub is a family friendly establishment, mainly known for its chargrilled burgers. So much…read moreso, the burgers are often hailed as the best in Macomb County. Its ambiance is more updated than the average pub, and outdoor seating is available during the warmer months. The menu here is concise. However, a wide array of options isn't necessary, as the majority of Shamrock's clientele come here for the burgers. For instance, I recently dined in, and noticed just one sandwich come out of kitchen that wasn't a burger. I also, unfortunately, noticed that all the buns get microwaved prior to serving. This wouldn't have bothered me, but the buns were still in the plastic bag they came in. As for the burger, it's definitely good, but frankly, it's overrated. It's enjoyable, but there's plenty of bars out there serving comparable burgers. The portion size of the French fries is generous. Similar to the burger though, the fries are worth getting, but are nothing to write home about. If you prefer a simple and affordable burger, you'll absolutely love Shamrock. On the flip side, the burger is not in the same league as Bronx Bar, Grey Ghost, Redcoat Tavern, etc. As a whole, what makes Shamrock such a desirable spot is how fairly priced the menu is.

I really wanted to like this place…read more I came here on New Year's Eve and they had a free buffet, which honestly set the bar pretty high. Simple food but done well -- a sub, stroganoff, salad. Nothing fancy, just generous and genuinely appreciated. Between that and seeing all the events at The Hut (bands, brunch, paint & sip, Super Bowl parties), I fully planned on coming back. Unfortunately, this return visit changed my mind. I ordered the turkey Reuben with onion rings. The onion rings were cooked so hard they lost all flavor, and the turkey was smoked but extremely dry. To make matters worse, there was a small piece of blue plastic or bristle in the sandwich. Service was polite, but uncomfortable at times. The older man -- who I believe may be the owner -- lingered very close, seemed shaky, and poured drinks far stronger than intended. I usually appreciate a generous pour, but these were unbalanced and not enjoyable. When the bill came, there was a cash vs credit price option, and we were told we were the first guests to use the new system. Even so, the total still didn't match the menu prices we ordered from, and that wasn't clearly explained upfront, which made the experience confusing. Ambiance-wise, it's a classic dive bar -- no complaints there. Live bands, lots of events, and a hole-in-the-wall feel. That part is honestly the strongest draw. For anyone unfamiliar, this used to be Mangan's Irish Hut for years. The original owners retired, someone new bought it, and now it's just "The Hut." The Irish Hut signage is still on the building, with BBQ signage in spots as well, so it feels like the place is still finding its identity. If I'm speaking directly to the owner: there is potential here. The event ideas and community focus are great. But food consistency, drink balance, menu accuracy, and clearer communication all need attention.

My friends ordered chicken and they loved it lightly breaded and was cooked right. They have several beers on tap, I would say about 10, I had Yuengling.

We went to BJ's before an appointment -- I just saw it & we decided to try. First, the decor is…read morenice, although a little dark. The staff was very friendly and helpful. And the menu is HUGE! There was a little insert with lunch specials which included a small pazookie for dessert, all fot $13! I had the unlimited soup & salad. I chose the broccoli cheddar soup. It was very rich, cheesy & a good amount of broccoli. It was so thick that, before the server brought me a spoon, I was able to eat it with a fork! I had the house salad. Nice, fresh greens -- not just romaine or head lettuce -- beautifully dressed with really good honey mustard dressing. My sister had the Enlightened Mediterranean chicken bowl -- a very interesting combination of chicken, quinoa, brown rice and feta, which was also good. The server came by in the middle of our meal to ask what kind of pizookies we wanted, and she even offered to package them to go. They arrived warm, and even after being in the car for a couple hours on a winter day, they still retained a bit of warmth! I can see that, even though the closest BJ's is 10 miles away, I will undoubtedly make some trips there to enjoy more of their offerings.

We visited BJ's for the first time tonight with a group of nine. The restaurant itself was clean…read moreand spacious, and we had been looking forward to trying it for a while. We made reservations in advance during happy hour and were initially told we would need to sit in the bar area to receive happy hour pricing. However, since all of the seating there was high-top tables and we had children with us, that wasn't an option. The staff accommodated us by seating us in the main dining area while still honoring the happy hour specials, which we appreciated. Our server, Jake, was great. He was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and offered helpful recommendations throughout the evening. We started with the spinach artichoke dip and chicken potstickers, both of which were good. The kids ordered mac and cheese, Parmesan buttered noodles, chicken tenders, and mini cheeseburgers. The mac and cheese and chicken tenders were very standard. The buttered noodles had to be remade, as they initially came out hard and dried, as if they had been sitting under a heat lamp. The mini cheeseburgers were extremely overcooked--more like hockey pucks--so we sent them back and replaced them with a pasta dish, which unfortunately was also hard. Three adults ordered the prime rib dinner (medium) with whipped potatoes and asparagus. All three came out overcooked. The potatoes were gummy, the asparagus was woody with the ends not trimmed, and the prime rib itself was described as dry and gritty--almost like rehydrated jerky. My husband sent his back and ordered Sal's Brewhouse Chicken instead, which was also disappointing--chewy, stringy, and overly sour from the lemon sauce to the point it was inedible. I ordered the crispy jalapeño burger, which was good, but my fries were noticeably undercooked compared to others at the table. The highlight of the meal was the pizookie, which was delicious and the only standout item of the night. Manager Alex did comp a significant portion of our bill, which we appreciated, and our server Jake handled everything professionally. However, overall, the food quality was very inconsistent. Out of nine meals, only about three were acceptable. While we might consider returning for dessert, we wouldn't come back for dinner.

We came here on a Saturday night for a couple of birthdays. We had a reservation for 5:00 and were…read moresat promptly. The service was quite slow, we ended up leaving around 7:00. It took 20ish minutes to get drinks and refills. I had asked for a water several times and we had to end up sharing. We got chicken tenders, poutine and pierogi for appetizers. The poutine and chicken tenders were both amazing! The chicken was fresh and very good quality, it seemed to be hand breaded. The poutine had great flavor also! The pierogi was dry and not great, so I would skip those next time. For dinner I ordered the mac and cheese and French onion soup. The French onion soup was so salty it was inedible. The Mac and cheese was also disappointing. I thought it would be baked or have a sauce and it didn't. It reminded me more of a kids meal (but with adult prices) and was a small portion. Husband got the fish and chips and he enjoyed them, but said he wished they gave malt vinegar with them. Overall the service was slow and some dishes were great and some were not so great.

I got a recommendation from a friend who had a great experience with gatherings here. We contacted…read moreTheresa who is the event coordinator and got some basic information about room sizes. We went to the restaurant to view the largest room and were very pleased with the setup. Theresa was a delight to work with. She answered all our questions and sent the menu choices by email. We made our selections by phone. I had never eaten there, so for me, it was a leap of faith. The big day came and things couldn't have gone smoother. We sent it up as an open house, thinking people would come and go and the food would be available throughout the open house. The food was put out as agreed and the people came, but didn't leave! We had a full house. Everyone was enjoying the food and we had an open bar in the room. The service was impeccable! Caitlin worked behind the bar and Theresa herself was our server. When a plate or a glass was empty, it disappeared as if by magic! Theresa was her ever pleasant self. A number of friends and family commented how much they enjoyed the food and were aware of the excellent service. Saying they would keep Hamlin in mind for their future events. My grandson is allergic to tree nuts. They made up a special box with an assortment of fresh baked cookies, just for him. The four hours passed in a flash. We had to let our guests know that our time was up. It could have easily gone on a couple more hours! We had kids of all ages and some of the parents took the kids in the bar area to play games. That was an added benefit. All in all we couldn't be more pleased. Not only will we go back but we will tell everyone we know to go there as well. Hamlin Pubs have a lot of locations and Theresa coordinates for all of them.

She gave me a cup of ice and the pineapple juice separate just in case I wanted to drink it a certain way.

I have mixed feelings about Wellington Pub because the food is honestly some of the BEST bar food…read moreI've had anywhere in Macomb County. Their handmade pizza is absolutely amazing and nobody competes with it. I usually order the pizza and the Caesar salad, which is huge and easily shareable for 2-3 people. The kitchen alone is the reason we continue to come back. The owners clearly care about this place and have put their heart into it, so I want to make it clear that this review is not directed toward them personally. Unfortunately, the biggest downside is the crowd late at night on weekends. The bathrooms are often left disgusting by disrespectful customers, and the karaoke crowd can get pretty rough. Service also tends to be slow enough that you'll probably end up walking to the bar yourself for drinks. That being said, this has still become one of our regular meetup spots with friends before deciding where the night is going. We usually go very late and stay until close, so I'm sure it's not always the same atmosphere during earlier hours. If you can look past some of the chaos, the food alone makes this place worth trying at least once. I really wanted to give 5 stars because the food deserves it, but the overall environment keeps me from doing that.

There is also a nice selection of bourbons, cocktails, beer and more if that's more of your lane. Certainly a nice place to stop when you need a break from shopping. The ambiance is above average; it is nice but not extravagant and you'll fit right in with Saturday errand running attire. My only suggestions are that they add flights and more non dairy small plate items. Overall I did enjoy my time here.

If you're a sweet and savory person, this is the jackpot. I added a little red hot because I like the spice and a more traditional chicken and waffles.
