Good drinks and good food that sticks to you lol. The service was kind and friendly but slow. The vibe is chill and laid back so it matched. I had the beyond burger and fries. It was so good. And I went back a second time in the same day for more fries! Ridiculous and good lol. Several margaritas too. Definitely recommend read more

We were greeted by our server Tehya who was super sweet. She immediately brought us waters and took our drink orders. We came at lunch time on a Monday and it was not busy at all. Great spot for those grabbing lunch downtown during the work day, a lunch date or an evening happy hour. I ordered a chicken sandwich with no pickles and added jalapeños. I also upgraded to fries instead of the homemade chips. I give it an 8/10. The fries could have been cooked a little longer. My friend ordered the round bar burger and she gave it a 9/10. It was juicy & flavorful. She also upgraded to fries. My other friend ordered the chicken caprese crusted salad. She gave it a 9/10. Mainly because the lettuce was drenched in the dressing; next time will get the dressing on the side. Overall, we would come back! The service was great and it wasn't busy at all which made it super convenient for us. read more

An amazing restaurant located in the Doubletree hotel that has excellent salmon, and also soups (such as their broccoli cheese) as well as Mac-and-cheese. Excellent and prompt service and the interior is cool in that it is built in a circle surrounding a bar in the very middle. Highly recommended! read more

I walked in with a party of 6 and they said they couldn't put tables together when they had clearly done it for some older white people that were sitting in front of us. We stood there waiting for 10 minutes in the middle of the room and they never helped us and just waited for us to leave. read more

Very few food options around the hotel. So this restaurant is the main food spot if you are staying at the double tree fort Shelby. The restaurant has a nice ambiance. I ordered the wings. They are baked then fried. They give you four pieces of the whole wing. They were cooked all the way. Baby carrots and chopped celery. The sauce taste like a light hot sauce. Not much flavor. I would get extra sauce on the side or bbq sauce. Something thicker. That would coat the chicken better. That was about $17. I also had the salmon. It was a little overcooked but they gave me a good portion. Other than that they were very accommodating. Would have to try something else next time. read more

Restaurant has nice ambiance. I had the Denver omelette (pictures and was just ok). My daughter had the bacon, egg and cheese English muffin sandwich. She really enjoyed it (sorry no pic) and great value. Service was very quick. read more

Walked into the restaurant and was told to sit anywhere. We sat down and then waited 20 minutes to just get a drink order. After another 20 minutes we went to the bar to ask if they could take out order. They sent over a gentleman who I thought was the manager and he took our order. You will never believe the next sequence of events. But you can't make this stuff up. We ordered a side salad, shrimp cocktail and a porterhouse steak. 23 minutes went by and someone from the kitchen came out to tell us it would take a half hour to cook the steak so we could order something else. I told them I placed my order 23 minutes ago so it should be ready in 7 minutes. He told me he would have to check the ticket time. I said that's fine. But in the mean time you can get our salad and the shrimp cocktail. I then asked for them to deliver it to my room. While they did give us a discount, and we did get our meal about 25 minutes later at our door ( they knocked and left) the food was good. Not sure what all the drama was about. Training is necessary!!! The bar tender with two people at the bar could have come taken our order. The "manager" standing behind the bar could have taken our order 30 minutes earlier. Or maybe the server should have taken our order instead of cleaning the six dirty tables she had. read more

Motor City Kitchen - Dinner is finally served. - Sports Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I'm glad I waited until after my second visit here to post my review because I had two completely different experiences. The food was good both times (you can't really mess up eggs & potatoes haha), but they service experiences couldn't be more night and day. My first breakfast there, I waited at the hostess desk for awhile before anyone even noticed to seat me. Then once I was sat, the server didn't come over for awhile again, and then never followed up or checked in on me again until it was time to get my check. Also, it took foreverrr to actually get my meal, even though they weren't busy at all, and it was a simple order. My next breakfast there, the service was fantastic. Shout out to Debbie who is just phenomenal at her job! She took my order right away, checked in on me numerous times and refilled my beverages, and had the food out super quickly! It seemed like I was at two different restaurants those days. The food is pretty standard l, but if you want to be blown away by the service, request to be in Debbie's section! read more

Motor City Kitchen - Eggs & potatoes - Sports Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Formerly Finn & Porter, this restaurant is located inside DoubleTree in downtown Detroit. There's a restaurant dining side and the Round Bar side that shares the same menu. Most things still look the same as they haven't gotten new signs yet. They did get a new menu, which is how I found out about the new name. They should give their menu a makeover because the font they picked for the menu makes it difficult to read. Round Bar still has happy hour, but raise the happy hour (5p-7p) beer price to $4, which is still a great bargain. They have 10 new craft beers on tap, including local and non-local, like Bell's Oberon. They also have $5 appetizers like meat balls, stuffed jalapeño, and pot stickers. Happy hour isn't listed on the menu, but you can ask the bartender about it. The portion of all the main dishes is small, but perfect for me since it means I have room for dessert. They also have 10" pizza starting at $8 on the menu. POT STICKERS - $5 during happy hour - Pan fried and slightly crispy on the outside. Served with a side of sweet and sour sauce. Good meaty filling, I approve. SHRIMP SCAMPI PAPPARDELLEL - $22 - 4 giant meaty shrimps, tomatoes and nicely cooked wide flat pasta noodles. There is no sauce, but I like my pasta that way. Expensive, but good. LOBSTER BISQUE and SCALLOP - $19 -I enjoyed this dish as it has a few things going on. The pastry in the middle, huge deliciously cooked scallops, and a medley of vegetables. read more

The breakfast buffet is the quick, casual selections just like an American Breakfast in a European hotel! Cereal bar, juice bar, fresh fruit selections, French paStry, scrabbled eggs, bacon, sausage, homemade potatoes, French toast, yogurt, toast selections, and an assortment of daily goodies! Top that with an excellent pot of coffee at your table! Service is outstanding! read more

Motor City Kitchen - Two mice left! - Sports Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This is a hard review to write. I had their breakfast while I stayed in the doubletree. It's a buffet style that costs about $14. Thankfully I'm a Hilton honors gold member which means you can opt for a free breakfast. They have a lunch special in the round bar that is a burger, chips, and a pop/beer for $10. The burger is definitely a pre pressed frozen patty. Ordered it medium and it came well done. I asked about adding bacon to it and was told it would $4 extra! Crazy. I wanted fries instead of chips, another $2 was added. My coworker grab an $8 bowl of Mac n Cheese. This was the most ridiculous bowl of Mac n cheese I think I've ever seen. I would probably not eat there again. Other than my free breakfast. read more

So the menu seems to change often because everything that was offered on Yelp is no longer available as of Jan 2016, so we couldn't get anything we saw online. We got the street tacos which were average but good. We got the chicken tenders, extremely average, and the tater tots which were pretty good. Staff was nice and polite and very helpful. read more

The customer service here is Horrible. I have never been to a restaurant where the waitress never introduced herself to your table. I most certainly never been to a restaurant that never offered water or drinks. This restaurant and its staff have a lot to be desired. We had a party of 6 people and had to flag down a waitress just to get something to drink, we didn't even know if she was our waitress. We ended up leaving without even ordering!! Strangely enough I visited this restaurant years ago in 20 years and it was not this bad! Just read more

The food and service was excellent. Manager took time to check if everything is good. The server took time to refill our drink on time and the food come out quickly than we expected. Our kids was happy and enjoyed the food so that's always a plus. Thank you and we will be back again soon. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite before a Red Wings game. The location is great because it's so close to Joe Louis arena! Unfortunately that means it's crazy busy before the game. Service was very slow because the restaurant was packed but I doubt this is the norm. But I will add that our waiter was super friendly to make up for it. The food itself was pretty good. I had a chicken sandwich, which was really good. The bun was soft and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The chips that come with it were soggy, which was a little disappointing. Overall, I was pretty satisfied. If they could staff according to sports events it would make it that much better and would be 4-star worthy. read more

Really a mixed review. Kitchen was closed, but the Round Bar was open and servicing. Bartender/Server Kevin was awesome even with he seeing to the needs of the whole room- in front and from behind the bar. We ordered a salad and the "Ancient Grain Mushroom Risotto." Both were delicious... however. I have never eaten risotto before. We did not receive the risotto mentioned above, we were served their Mushroom Risotto... but without mushrooms. Kevin fixed that immediately and left the floor to report the missing mushrooms to the kitchen. But, the risotto we were served was made with orzo pasta...not rice and definitely NOT Ancient Grains... also none of the advertised feta or parmesan flakes. Yes, we are it, but the discount arises from the fact that I wanted to try something that I had never had before. The menu item I wanted was it; the mis-prepared, bland, "regular" pasta dish I was served was not. read more

This restaurant is right by my work so when I saw the Groupon I figured I'd try it out. Read some pretty bad reviews and was a little nervous. Our server was very pleasant and recommended the Fried Chicken Sandwich, which came on a pretzel roll and was topped with bacon! Upgraded to fries for 2 bucks, so the sandwich was $15 all together. The Groupon was for $30 and cover the entire bill! No complaints, will def return. read more

Staying at the Doibletree we decided to eat here for breakfast. Day1 (7/2/18) I ordered eggs Benedict. It was delicious, however the yolk was cooked all the way and the potatoes that came with it were luke warm. My daughter ordered pancakes with a side of potatoes. She said her pancakes were amazing but potatoes not warm. Day 2. It took 25 minutes for eggs Benedict and I was the only person in the restaurant. I ordered a side of fruit this time. But the eggs Benedict didn't taste the same as it had they day before. The hollandaise sauce was a weird color with no flavor. And the one of the eggs was already broken. There were two waitresses who were attentive, however one was clearly more knowledgeable than the other. Twice at that restaurant was enough for us. Too bad though, because it's in a good location being in the hotel. read more

Purchased the Groupon voucher 30 bucks we love to try new spots. The restaurant itself only open during breakfast hours then you eat in bar area. Only one other table at noon having food. She ordered a Double special house burger came with house made chips, me the daily special sandwich Patty Melt on RYE bread with fancy cheese n Grilled Onions. She had a Maurice Salad, I added Bechemel Macaroni n Cheese with Deep Fried Battered Cauliflower. The Burger totally no flavor had to be frozen patties on a fake brioche bun. The most disappointing Maurice Salad ever. My FAKE RYE BREAD was White Bread Why???? See photos. The outrageous flavorful Cauliflower and OMG Macaroni n Cheese mind blowing great. Super waitress on her game. They need new bread supplier. So get this one Burger, One Patty Melt, One Salad, One Mac, One Cauliflower, one Coffee and one Tea $ 75 dollars are you serious for lunch and the house Chip's terrible. The worst ever Groupon voucher we ever purchased. DISSATISFACTION now we know why it's empty at lunch hour. #motorcitykitchen #roundbardetroit #fakeryebread #downtowndetroit #detroit #letsguide #motorcitymunchers read more

I went to Motor City Kitchen (MCK) with a large group for Sunday Brunch. MCK is located in the Doubletree Hotel in Downtown Detroit. It is a very cute restaurant with a live DJ, who was the bomb. He even took requests. And of course, because it's Detroit, there is a just enough space to get your hustle on. ;) The brunch was buffet style with a made-to-order omelette bar. The food options included salad, turkey/pork breakfast sausage, bacon, fried catfish, fried/baked chicken, greens, macaroni and cheese, waffles, grits, potatoes, and an assortment of various desserts (i.e. cheesecake, key lime pie, brownies). I'm a soul food kinda gal so the options were welcomed. Unfortunately, the food was not warm enough inside of the food holder things. In particular, the waffles were cold and hard (before they brought out a new batch). I thought most of the food was generally well seasoned; however, I was a bit disappointed with the chicken. The dessert bar had tasty treats - I wish there were more of the small cheesecake bites though! Our server was attentive, which was appreciative due to the large number that was in my party. The reason for the 3 star rating is that I was not blown away by any of the options on the bar. Food was good, but wasn't to run and tell about. I also was disappointed in that the food was not hotter. I would definitely go back and try it again! read more

horrible service, mediocre food and outrageous prices! We stayed at the Hilton Doubletree and decided to head to this eating establishment to grab a beer and dinner before the hockey game. The place was about 1/4 full. We sat at the bar for 15 minutes before someone greeted us and asked us what we would like. We finished our beers and waited another 20 minutes before the bartender checked with us. We returned to the establishment after the hockey game. It was full and busy. The bar was a mess. It was obvious that the staff could not keep up nor did they know what they were doing. David, Manager and 3 staff members also with name tags saying David. When asking the female waitperson if her name was David she indicated no. Her Manager had not ordered a name tag for her. This time we sat there for 20 minutes while bar staff just walked by us, not acknowledging that we were there. When asked to make a Sex on the Beach, the bartender asked is that a wine cooler. We had to tell her how to make the drink. I ordered a hot toddy and it was served in a regular glass that you could not hold as it was hot. I witnessed several people walk out of the restaurant after waiting over 40 minutes to be served. I watched David, the manager try to remove a cork from a bottle of wine that a guest brought down to open he did not have a win opener. Me broke the cork in half and then pushed the remaining cork into the wine. Needless to say we avoided this restaurant during our stay. DON'T GO THERE you will REGRET it read more

Never again; bad service, horrible pizza! I was brought here by a friend who had flown into the city and specifically wanted to treat me to pizza at a place she previously visited and enjoyed, was actually raving about. So... Here's my not so rave review. The "award winning mixologist" Matthew who was introduced to us that way by (apparently the manager on duty) David, did not know his menu too well as we asked for his affirmation of ingredients on a specific pizza, and when pizza came out it was without Mozzerella cheese, which we specifically asked for. So Matthew took it back saying kitchen would make a new one. Nope! Kitchen added cheese atop original and rebaked the pie, which meant we were served and ate a dry cardboard pizza. The manager, David, did not seem to care, as we asked for a moment of his time to explain our displeasure, he brushed us off with his BS fake personality walked away and ignored us. Oh and the "award winning mixologist" Matthew, handles his bar glasses by the rims with his hands! read more

Our server was new and friendly. Because I had surgery three weeks ago I'm unable to eat much that isn't considered "soft" and I can only eat 1/4-1/2 cup of whatever. Their menu is very limited. I asked if I could order the blackened Mahi Mahi, just the fish. My server asked the manager who was willing to do that but still wanted to charge me $19. Customer service at its worst, to me. My husband and boys stayed (after 5 long hours getting here they were hungry!) but I went back to the room and ate the applesauce I brought. My family said the chicken tenders and salad were just okay. We are here four days and will not be returning to the Round Bar again. read more

Went here after the 2016 auto show. Yum, yum, yum! I got the turkey avocado club with homemade chips and a side house salad. (every meal comes with homemade chips and a local pickle but they have several substitutions such as a fresh fruit bowl)The roasted tomato on the club was so yummy--just the tomato will make me come back. Portions were perfect and everything was super flavorful! We had a 5 year old with us and the menu isn't kid friendly so they brought us a special serving of mac & cheese from another restaurant and/or as a special request from the kitchen--not sure but either way the wait staff was nice and accommodating. Drink menu was cool and easy to read. read more

Motor city kitchen has amazing food and some of the most personable staff in Detroit. I live in the apartments, on top of the hotel, and eat here 4 times or more per week because the food is superb. Last time I asked if they could make something off the menu and they brought out a gyro dish with rice and broccoli that was to die for. David from management and the service team go out of their way to make the customer feel special, which keeps me coming back. Due to my experiences over the last 3 months i always recommend the restaurant/bar to friends that visit the city. Guests of the hotel, red wings fans, or anyone visiting the business district should come down for the amazing food and drinks. read more

Located in the Fort Shelby building, the Round Bar and Motor City Kitchen have a great vibe. You'll always find a great mix of out-of-town travelers, residents of the building, and locals sitting at the bar talking about the next great thing happening in Detroit. It's really a great place to learn what's going on around town, make new friends, have great drinks, and eat from a wide variety of menu choices. I recommend making this a regular stop when you're going out downtown. We tend to stop in before going out for a drink and dinner, then again afterwards for a nightcap. Take the time to talk with the staff and the people around you. I think you'll be surprised how much of a "Cheers" atmosphere this place has. If you're into cocktails, try one of the special concoctions. if you're into beer, they have a great beer list that changes often. Also solid wine selection, including some gems that are off the beaten path. Food... I'm hooked on the cobb salad, lobster penne, and fish and chips, depending on my mood. Don't hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations... they're super helpful. See you at the Round Bar! read more

I would say overall, eh, it's a hotel restaurant bar... Some shining points are: Great draft beer selection tons of local craft options Good happy hour - 4-7 (I believe...) $4 Drafts, and $5 apps Really friendly staff - good for conversation or a laugh, genuinely all seemed like really good people Duller points: Not very good service. By this I only mean promptness. I sat down at the bar even, and it was too long before anyone talked to me. And by beer glass was empty for too long before I was asked for another. This was after a hockey game, so they were clearly understaffed. It seems like something that should be pretty easy to predict though since they deal with hockey games all the time, and I think they publish the game schedule fairly far in advance. Had a cobb salad... have had much better, very eh... no egg, small, but not overly dressing-ed, which is good. I'm sure I'll continue to go there for a beer... I'm going to have to be pretty tired though to eat there again during this trip. read more

I came for brunch and first off they are losing a star because they make you wear a wrist band. Once you pay they add gratuity and you have a option for mimosas or not. This is such a classy place however the wrist bands don't fit the part. We didn't make RSVP but they were so kind to find a table to accommodate my party of 5. The omelet bar is good, the buffet is good... the music is great!!! The only issue was the dessert.. cheese cake was the only option. This is s little pricey so this would be a special occasion place only!!! read more

Worst experience ever. Would not recommend. Would never go back. My wife and I were in town for the concert and decided to dine at the hotel afterwards instead of finding a restaurant. We were in the restaurant for an hour and in that time managed to get our own menus and were served a glass of water right before we left. The place had but a couple of tables of people and a couple people at the bar when we arrived. We sat ourselves after waiting for 5 minutes at the empty hostess station and finally asking if they were open and serving food. That should have been our cue to leave. Instead we waited at our table for 20 minutes with no service and got up and got menus. During that time we asked for service and a manager 3 times to no avail. Steadily the place filled up and it went from bad to worse. After an hour the manager who was behind the bar the whole time finally came over to ask what was wrong. Long story short, we got our food to go, the food was comp'd, and we went back to our room. To top it off we ordered basic chicken tenders and fries and it was barely edible and we were starving. Whatever sauce they put on the chicken was overly spicy and tasted bad like cafeteria food. And the food is not inexpensive. Terribly unorganized. No one appeared to know what they were doing. Lack of organization, lack of management, and terrible customer service. Nobody owned anything and we were left to fend for ourselves. Unfortunate because the hotel was great and this reflected very poorly on it. read more

Entree portion was smaller than most appetizers. Was still hungry so ordered some chicken strips to go. Saw someone bring in a bag and drop it off at the bar. 15 minutes went by before my server noticed that was my order then he picked up the bag and walked out of the bar with it. Probably to reheat it. Get to the room and it's four tiny pieces of chicken and a small lump of something that looks like cabbage. Gross. read more
