I wanted to believe this place had turned a corner after being featured on Bar Rescue, but what I observed afterward made it clear that whatever changes were made did not stick. Responsible alcohol service did not appear to be a priority. It was common to see visibly intoxicated patrons continue to be served, sometimes to the point where their condition was hard to ignore, and then leave without any meaningful intervention. That alone raises serious concerns about community safety. Operationally, there seemed to be very little oversight. Staff were regularly left to close the bar without an owner or manager present, despite the volume of cash moving through the business. Inventory tracking appeared inconsistent, with many items rung in under vague or generic categories rather than clearly documented. From a customer perspective, it felt chaotic and loosely managed. There also seemed to be a culture of excessive comping of drinks and blurred boundaries between ownership and patrons, which created an unprofessional atmosphere. Instead of structure and accountability, the environment felt improvised. What ultimately changed my perception permanently was how a legitimate health issue was handled. When I was unable to come in due to a serious medical situation and communicated that honestly, the response escalated quickly and aggressively rather than being handled with professionalism. That experience alone made it clear that people are disposable here. If you're looking for a bar that prioritizes responsible service, professionalism, and consistent management standards, I would think carefully before choosing this one. The optics may look improved from television, but the underlying culture did not appear to change. read more

Really wanted to like this place. But they were on Bar Rescue for a reason. Even after the show aired the bartenders were vaping behind the bar while serving. The go-to Reuben was not memorable and somewhat dry. If you aren't a regular you're treated like a nuisance. Too many other places that deserve your business more! read more

Nice friendly service with a smile. Meeting friends for a pre-party drink. Nice easy going crowd. Good menu for munchies

Pete's is hands down the best place to come for great food at a reasonable price, great beer and drink selection and very attentive service! The corned beef sandwich is by far best in Macomb county! Wednesday $1 draft beer too! read more

Went to Pete's one other time it was a football Sunday tried their wings they were very good watched a football game we had a pretty enjoyable experience. So decided to try them on a Friday night what a mistake first of all I would like to get the attention of all restaurant owners and let them know service is number one. Please read this review if you are a restaurant owner or considering going into the restaurant business. There was literally two people working the entire restaurant one bartender and one person cooking the bartender was waiting tables serving taking care of the bar and providing service to any carryout patrons the cook was hiding in the kitchen. Upon being seated the bartender eventually came running over to the table and said is there anything I can get for you and then ran off came back with our initial order about five minutes later so we knew we better order something quick so we ordered some wings and a fish dinner and off she ran I could go on but I don't want to ramble but this was just a terrible experience let me put it to you this way the food was totally awesome when it finally arrived and anything I asked for other than what was on the plate for instance tartar sauce for the fish it only came after multiple requests by then the fish was cold and unedible the VIP sandwich took 45 minutes to arrive when asked what's going on the bartender simply said oh we have a GrubHub order going out .........really? Being a qualified judge of restaurants I should have known when I saw the Help Wanted sign in the window never go to a restaurant with Help Wanted signs posted this is a dead giveaway you will probably get terrible service. I may come back for the food but probably not. Because the sandwich, fish, and Wings are very very good when warm or hot I don't think you'll get it that way. Again terrible service terrible service terrible service. If you're planning on giving this place a try I recommend GrubHub because they obviously put GrubHub orders first before their patrons. read more

Great Reuben's , love the fried mushrooms.... Great customer service, even received the extra ranch and Reuben sauce as ordered. Ordered previously always consistent. Take out order !!! read more

We were disappointed. Seems like a real local hotspot as many of the patrons knew each other. Great waitstaff. The 3 of us ordered the Lamplighter Corned beef Sandwiches with Tater Tots. The 1/4 lb sandwiches were just OK as the bread seemed overtoasted. Each sandwich came with a ton of Tater Tots that were just good. The meal seemed overpriced as the sandwiches were nothing special. One of the ladies with us used the restroom which she said was "disgusting". Be careful when driving into the parking lot as there are several large potholes that needs repair. read more

Decided to stop there and get some food to go. My wife got the Reuben and I got the Club. Definitely not disappointed as the food from here was delicious. I would highly recommend this place if you want great food for your money. read more

Giving a one star based on service. Unfortunately the service was so slow and non friendly we decided to get a drink and leave. To bad I wanted to try the Reuben. 4:00 on Friday afternoon, bar had 12+ people and us and one other table. And one waitress ( dark long poney tail). Wish I would have timed it but it took a long time for the one waitress to come to our table take our drink order. It was almost uncomfortable as this looked like a neighborhood regular place. She could have at least acknowledged us from the bar saying I'd be there in a minute but nothing. When she did come to the table she just said what are you drinking. Not hi or hello just a very mundane voice. We ordered a beer and a mixed drink. She never asked what size beer and brought out a BIGGIE. That would be alright for a big guy but you would normally ask a 130 lb female what size!! 15 minutes later and husband done with drink....no waitress. 30 minutes later he goes up to bar and cashes out. We are at Biggs down the street now having dinner. 3x the people and the waitress was at our table in 30 seconds with a smile! 3 minutes later we had drinks and placed order. She's even came back already and checked on us!! Sorry Pete's, we thought you'd be our new favorite place but not with service like that read more

Today was me & my daughters first time eating at "Pete's Cutting board tavern " on Gratiot Ave in Chesterfield Mi. We purchased 2 pops, mini tacos, fried mushrooms, tater tots, & the 1/2 Lb corned beef sandwich. Everything tasted fine; except for the corned beef sandwich. When it came to the table it smelled wrong. It had brown meet, not pink. It looked like roast beef. I took one bite. It didn't taste like corned beef. I told the waitress all this. She went to check in the back. She came back and said that it was corned beef. I told her it didn't taste right. I only ate the one bite. I couldn't eat the sandwich. It did not taste good. When she came with the check, I told her that I felt she should not have even charged me for the sandwich since it was obvious something was wrong with it. But she had the full $16.00 for the sandwich on the bill. I told her I ordered the sandwich so I'll pay for it. Since she felt it appropriate to still charge me for it. I did tell her that was my first time visiting there restaurant, & it would be the last. I advised her I would not come back based on how I was treated. Considering all of that; she still never once offered to credit me for the sandwich. When I got home approximately 3 hours later, I had some of the worst diahreia I have ever had. I believe some or all of the food i had ate was bad. Poor sandwiches, poor customer service. read more

We stumbled upon this place and couldn't be happier we did! You won't go home hungry as the portions are plentiful! Great food, prices, and service. read more

Hands down best rubens anywhere! Pete's Really changed the place since he's owned it. He's cleaned it up a ton from what it used to be and man they sure know how to cook over there. All the food is fantastic, the drink prices are great and they treat you like family. Good times and good people over there! read more

Went with my family and had a couple beers and grabbed some food. Figured we would try somewhere new. My dad ordered the roast beef sandwich and it had a fish taste to it for some reason. My brother ordered some sort of club sandwich and it looked big in the photo on the menu and it was about a quarter of the size when he got it. I ordered nachos and they were horrible with absolutely no flavor at all. The DJ showed up and that was also interesting and slightly annoying when he blew into a blow horn over and over again. The one thing that was good was our waitress. Probably won't go back. read more

We had a group of four go there for a couple of beers and a sandwich. The waitress was very slow and mildly rude. Our friend ordered a vodka and tonic that took three times to get it correct. The waitress spent more time standing at the bar than working. We never ordered lunch. The only reason I didn't give it a one star review is because the menu looks good and it is a sports bar near my home. Not sure if I will give it another shot. read more

Went for lunch. Wouldn't recommend. It is not really a "food" place. Only barstools and tall tables. Waitress made 2 mistakes on a small, simple lunch order. Corned bed is lean. read more

I've been to Pete's three times. Each time was for a lunch carry out. The food was great. When I place my order, I was told 15 minutes, and it was ready in 15 Minutes. Now to be fair, they open at 11 am. I placed my order around Noon, so there wasn't a big lunch rush in the bar yet. But I'll be back. One disturbing thing is they used to have a nice menu with color photo on line. It seems to have disappeared. Don't know if that means something bad, but I like seeing a menu with photos. read more

It's an amazing bar, with a great crowd of people and drinks and service are quick and friendly. I enjoy there VIP Burger it is a great sandwich.. read more

Allison is the best bartender that I have ever experienced. Don is alright as well. Good atmosphere and great food.

Atmosphere was good... Corned beef was best I've ever had... Worth a stop in just for the corned beef.

Pete's is one of my favorite bar / restaurants. The meats & cheeses are really high quality for burgers & sandwiches. The appetizers, subs & pizza are also satisfying. Pete's Cutting Board is a good place to stop in for Food & Drinks anytime. The owner and his staff are very friendly and accommodating even when it is busy. I recommend trying the Ruben on Rye Bread, the Cheeseburger, Club Sandwich, Mozzarella Sticks, and I also love the nachos!!!! Everything is beyond reasonably priced for the portion amount you receive. You will not be disappointed, Pete's is the place to be! read more

Stopped into Pete's after hearing how good his sandwiches and food has been for friends of mine. Decided on the fish & chips. Yuum! Turns out he filets the fresh fish himself. What a nice guy. Came right over to the table and treated me like he'd known me for years. The couple next to me ordered Reuben's, looked very good. Definitely getting that next time. Thanks Pete for doing great food at a fair price! Dave K read more

Was looking for a great burger. A friend recommended this place. It turned out to be exactly what i was looking for. We had 1/2 lb burgers and fries and homemade onion rings. The were prefect, tasted great and of good quality. Were told that they have the best corned beef sandwiches around and some patrons confirmed that to us. If you don't like a bar scene this place might not be for you would definitely miss out out on the great food and service. The meal prices are also mush better that similar places in the area. We will surely return read more

If you are looking for hands down the ultimate in bar food, or just plain food in general... This place is phenomenal! I have tried nearly every combination of their menu and not once have i been dissapointed. You want carry out? Its there hot and delicious every time. The beverages are expertly crafted. The atmosphere is fantastic, the staff is incredible... Basically if they installed a hotel on the top of the building i would move in and never leave. The owners of this establishment have polished every aspect of the bar-going experience and should be proud of the work they have put in!!! Also i forgot to mention the food and drink prices are beyond competitive.. So if you're looking for a flawless experience in drinking and dining, look no further than your local petes cutting board! read more
