    I ordered online and overall it was very easy. I will say they gave us a lot of sauce but they weren't labeled so it was difficult to tell which sauce was which as I ordered more than 1 item. I got a bowl with half rice and lettuce and the portion was large and generous. Since it was delivery it was a little pricier but that is expected. My only main complaint is that there were very large chunks of lettuce that were not chopped up in the bowl. Like they were at least like a 2x2 cube of lettuce that was exactly chewable.

    1/3/26 we decided on this place for lunch having never been here. OMG what a nice surprise. We were greeted and promptly waited on within seconds of walking in. Everything looked so yummy it was hard to decide so I just picked the crunchy chicken bowl as pictured on the front window, yes I'm a visual guy. My husband chose the salad type bowl, not sure of the name. The way it works is they grab an empty bowl and you choose what you want in it. Word of caution , 2 people can share a bowl it's that big. The restaurant was spotless, the staff was friendly and our lunch was out of this world , seriously it was that good. They only have 3 restaurants in the area and may expand later. Please stop in here for your next lunch date. BTW, they cater too.

    A good new spot in west bloomfield. We came here after a walk on the WB Trail. I wasn't all that hungry so I ended up just getting a side of the steak, which I believe they said is a tenderloin cut. It was moist and flavorful. The actual bowls are gigantic. My friends each got one and had leftovers. They really liked what they got. Overall, it's a fast casual situation, with a clean and bright atmosphere. You build your bowl or wrap and pick what you want in it. And the service was quick and friendly and I would come back. I only wish they had different size bowl options so I could've gotten a small bowl.

    This is as fresh & healthy as it gets in fast food and I'm so happy to have this place close to home Choose your base: salad, rice or wrap Choose your protein: I'm a veg so I went with falafel And then toppings galore I'm a little picky about my falafel so I didn't have high hopes but it's better than average here- and they have beets, turshi & chickpeas on their toppings bar so I'm all set I didn't choose any of the sauces or hummus, just the garlic sauce, which was surprisingly mild (if my family makes garlic sauce, it'll be with you for days ) Everything's so fresh, it doesn't need a lot of sauces weighing it down but you be you

    Clean modern and nice

    Stopped in during lunch and it was the best decision, food was excellent and service was exceptional. The staff were continuously cleaning and the place is spotless. I've never seen a cleaner food establishment in the area. I'll be sure to come back again!

    Yea so the West Bloomfield location is clean and neat with attentive service. Reminded me of a Subway shop but more modern decor. Located in the CrossWinds mall on the northeast corner of Orchard Lk Road and Lone Pine. Ok so the main issue here are the prices which ain't cheap BUT the portions are not. I ordered the chicken bowl and a bowl of chicken tortilla cheese soup which together cost $15 and $8, respectively. Tax and 15% tip brought total to $27.83. Here is the BUT. My entire order could easily feed 2 people and possibly three light eaters. Not a bad deal when you look at it that way. Now to the most important part, the food. The soup was thoroughly cheesy with small bits of chicken breast and jalapeño. Very tasty with just the right amount of spicy and salty. My chicken bowl had about 15 items in it and was HUGE. It easily gave me three servings. All items were fresh and very tasty. The bowl's ingredients were a bit cold so I found heating them up to improve the taste. The chicken in the bowl was plentiful and extremely well spiced and tender. Overall I would go back again but with a bigger appetite ...and if you go with someone I recommend sharing one bowl and see how that goes. Happy eating!

    MBFS is an awesome fast Mediterranean spot to satisfy that kind of craving ... which I have a lot! I've eaten all 4 proteins and the steak is my favorite, which they boast as filet and it shows. I usually build a lighter bowl of 1/2 rice 1/2 salad because the servings are heavy handed. I also opt for fattoush dressing because it's a lighter option but when I want to indulge I get a side of spicy fat sauce!!! My daughter loves the crispy chicken, I usually make her a simple bowl of that, rice and cucumbers. Can't forget the cookies !!! Dubai choc chunk is our favorite but all 3 are good. The place is clean and neat, a huge factor in where we decide to

    I absolutely love this place. Staff is always friendly, portions are amazing, everything is so fresh and flavorful, out of this world good! Reasonably priced and you get a lot! LOVE the bowls. The chicken tortilla soup, is the best too. I tell everyone I know to go here. 5 stars!

    Torrie M.

    Love this place! Definitely a great value for your money! The bowls are HUGE! The combinations are endless and the food is fresh and delicious. I've only carried out but there is a small dining area inside. Everything is prepared pretty quickly and my go-to is the build your own bowl. The service is great here too! Definitely recommend.

    Happy Hour Review - The bar in this business specializes in Craft cocktails which are from what I…read morecan tell unique to this business and border on being a fusion inspired cocktail. The "Out of Town" cocktail I ordered offers a unique spin on the traditional Margarita where ingredients include , Blanco Tequila, Triple Sec, Fresh Lime & Pineapple Juice, Real Coconut Syrup and a Tajin seasoned Rim. The cocktail was very well made and oh so tasty. So tasty in fact I ordered 2 of them. Being a higher end steak house, prices at this business are on the higher end of the spectrum to include their cocktails. Having said that, you can get an assortment of their craft cocktails for $10 during Happy Hour which are significantly less than what you would pay during non Happy Hour prices. Aside from the drinks, they also offer some tasty looking food options where one in particular caught my eye being the Filet Mignon Sliders (two each) which looked amazing as I watched the guy next to me devour his. I will definately be returning to try these in the very near future. Relative to staff and facility, this is a very classy establishment and definately a great place to take your significant other where they will appreciate the upscale feel and romantic vibe this business has going for it. Staff was super friendly where I had some nice and entertaining discussions with the bartenders which I always get a kick out of ! Overall This is a great Happy Hour and an opportunity to sample unique and well made cocktails at a discount price. If you are in the area and are a fan of well made drinks than you should definately check this business out.

    The former restaurant, Steve and Rocky's, was a favorite of my friend's, so I accompanied her here…read moremore than a few times. Consequently, I have memories of the menu and the restaurant. With these memories in mind, and given that I was shopping in the area, I dropped in for dinner to experience the new restaurant. Early in the evening, the restaurant was filling up with regulars. Servers and guests greeted each other with affection and familiarity. I scanned the menu and noted a few items that I loved from the previous menu. Roast duck. Pork belly. Chef Milos' mushroom soup. However, they now serve a Sunday special, prime rib, a weakness of mine, so I went with that. There's something special about a roast on Sunday, which reminds me of my childhood. To start, I had Caesar salad and Ahi Tuna tartare, cubes of tuna atop a seaweed salad, and wonton crisps. Regrettably, I forgot to ask for anchovies on my salad. However, both were good. The prime rib was slightly over-seasoned and served with creamy mashed potatoes that's even better than mine (okay, Joel Robuchon's mashed potato recipe). The accompanying broccolini was fresh, crunchy, and well-prepared. Service was fine.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while and scheduled one of Meetup group dinners. Others…read morein the group also wanted to come that we asked to fit 1 more in on our table of 8 and easily could. Our group is use to good food service, food, and conversation when we meet. We only got 1 out of 3 and that was the conversation since we could hear from each end of the table. Service was slow and didn't inform us what the hold up might be. Was too many tables, slow kitchen, or what? It took a long time for rolls, drinks, food, refills, and bills. Floor manager didn't even check on us or any other server. Besides the scallops and salad, the rest of the food that was ordered was a little salty. The burgers were also dry with a hard bun. Even the calamari appetizer wasn't finished or fought over to take home which our group is famous for. I have always said in my reviews that when the adult drinks menu is longer than the food menu that isn't good. They had plenty of parking and a classy dinning room. I don't think I will be back or many of the group.

    Why haven't I tried here sooner?…read more Toasted oaks is located inside of the renaissance hotel located by 12 oaks mall parking lot. There is an entrance for just the restaurant which makes it easier to enter. There is also close parking next to it. I had no wait on a Friday evening, which I'm sure isn't common, but I was also there about1 hour 30 minute - 2 hours to closing so it could be why. I was still given great service and a wonderful cooked dish. I ordered a mocktail (virgin spring in wing) that had was supposed to have smashed strawberries. I barely tasted the strawberry (I did not have some in the drink) as the soda water overpowered everything thing else. I probably should have said something, but I didn't. If I order next time I will. There were many great things on the menu, but I opted for the bone in pork chop. While I waited I did ask if they had bread service and they have corn bread. First I was like "hmmmm idk". Once it came to the table I loved it. I usually don't butter my corn bread, but I tried their butter with it and I enjoyed the pairing. It was perfectly cooked well enough how pork should be, but still tender so it wasn't dry. It had this whiskey sweet fruity glaze over it which was delicious. I would have preferred it on the side, but that's just a personal preference. The green beans weren't soggy, they had a slight crisp to them. A great flavor. I opted out of the loaded baked potato and just got a plain with butter , sour cream and chives. Overall for what I ordered I didn't think the price to be too unreasonable. However, this place can get pricy with other things on the menu. Their menu might also change because I seen photos of this place and those items weren't on the menu. I would come here again for a dinner alone, with my spouse and even with friends.
