    I was recommended to come for dinner. My experience was okay. I only had a salad which was okay. My mango drink was terrible, I didn't even bother to finish drinking it. I'm not so sure I'd come running back. My server was nice and did a good job. There was no wow factor. It's a hole in the wall that seems to be popular with the people in the neighborhood. They have plenty of TVs to watch any sport you like. That's it.

    Burger and fries were fantastic. The burger had great flavor and was cooked true to the medium request. The fries were thin and crispy. They had a good beer selection, great sports bar vibe, and excellent service

    Decent place to go for lunch. Good atmosphere, TVs are everywhere. Service is hit and miss. Some day waitress are nice, some of them has a sour face. Food is ok, main item is their burger. Others are meh. You can make your burger however you want BUT watch out for extra charge. A lot of items is extra $1.25 so watch out. Burgers taste good, fresh, not greasy and comes to the table fast. It is always pretty crowded so locals do like it better than I do

    This is one of my very favorite local neighborhood bars. Joe's is conveniently located in the 12 Mile / Northwestern Hwy area. There's plenty of free parking in an adjacent lot. There's comfy booth seating, tables and a large bar. There are TVs strategically placed throughout which makes Joe's a great place to watch a game. The food is good and boudin they pour the drinks! My faves are the wings, potatoes skins, steak bites and (omg) the burgers. Servers are super friendly and not only remembers your name but all of your favorite foods and drinks.

It was fun to watch her work. Our waitress, Cecilia was the best we've experienced here. She was friendly, efficient, and kept our drinks coming. She reminded us about the happy hour specials. She was patient with modification requests. She cleared away the glasses and dishes no longer being used so the table was always clean. She even refilled our drinks after we paid and were still sitting at the table chatting away. I wish I had extra cash on me because I when have doubled the tip that was left for her. As for the food... the nachos are always a table favorite. I tried the chicken tenders with BBQ sauce - which I believe is made in house - it's pretty perfect in BBQ flavor. Also had the brussels sprouts with Parmesan and lemon aioli. They were quite tasty as well. (No photos this time).

I tried the chicken Parmesan and my friend had the club sandwich and fries. The chicken Parmesan was excellent. It was a very large piece, Panko breaded, over a bed of buttered spaghetti noodles with a side of garlic bread. I ate half and got a doggy bag. My friend said her club was very good. We sat up at the bar and got quick and friendly service from the bartender. Rusty Bucket was great find for the Southfield area!

I ordered the catfish, and it was fried exactly the way I like it. It was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. My friend had the steak bites and said they were cooked perfectly to her liking. The drinks were, of course, just as strong as ever! The bar has plenty of seating with a cozy, dimly lit atmosphere. It got pretty busy while we were there, but our waitress stayed attentive and provided great service the entire time. The music was on point, and there's even a pool table if you're looking to hang out and have some fun. Overall, it's a great neighborhood bar with delicious food, strong drinks, good music, and affordable prices. I'll definitely be back!

I found Red Balloon Saloon on Google Maps--it looked promising, so I met up with a buddy there after work. First impressions were solid: the place looks good inside, with plenty of TVs and even a pool table. We grabbed seats at the bar and started to settle in--until I saw the sign saying they add a mandatory 20% gratuity to all tabs. That's a big issue for me. If tips are guaranteed, where's the motivation for good service? Unfortunately, that concern proved true. It took a while to get our drinks, and we had to flag the bartender down to order appetizers. I got the cheese sticks and my buddy got the catfish. Both were tasty--no complaints on the food. The biggest downside? It was insanely loud. So loud that my Apple Watch actually alerted me about excessive noise levels. It made it really tough to have a conversation, and we ended up leaving early. Even cashing out took longer than it should have. While it's conveniently close to my new office, I don't see myself coming back. The forced gratuity policy and overwhelming noise make it a one-and-done for me.
