Looking forward to my next time.

The space, service, coffee and fresh pastries were stunning! Ample free parking is available out back. The interior was open, inviting, comfortable and clean.

Price point is moderately high, but the quietude and quality experience were worth it to this reviewer.

Even the coffee was really good. Our server was completely knowledgeable about accommodating our son's allergies, too. Btw, it's a good thing we arrived slightly before 11:00 because the place was packed by noon. I think this is going to be a regular thing for us, to stop off on our way to our Detroit Symphony Sunday afternoon concerts. The only thing that might have made the experience better: if Spacecat V-stro had a liquor license and could have served us Bloody Marys with our brunch. ;-)

First of all, the place is super cute, very clean and the staff is welcoming and friendly. They don't have many items you could call a breakfast, so we went with the burrito and the special of the week, waffle party. Both were good, well seasoned and tasted really home made. They should mention that the dishes come with sweet potatoes, not regular ones, as not everyone likes sweet potatoes. My husband doesn't, so he wasn't very happy when he got the plate. I had to eat them. The warm salad could have more seasoning. Overall, we were happy with the food and everything l, the reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the price. Not that there is anything expensive going into the food, chickpea tofu is far less expensive than soy tofu, homemade sausage too if you compare to fake meats. For that reason we probably won't be coming back. $20 for a waffle sandwich is too expensive in my opinion.

This is an order at the counter spot, so you grab a menu, place your order up front, and they give you a buzzer when your food is ready. I ordered a drink and the chicken Caesar wrap, which came out to $21. The chicken was grilled really nicely and had a lot of flavor. The wrap also comes with a jalapeño Caesar dressing, which initially threw me off since I am not a spicy person, but it ended up being delicious and not spicy at all. I stayed until about 5:30 and more families started coming in and there were quite a few kids around. There is a small playpen area for kids that is not padded, and watching a two year old climb around with no adult looked like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Overall, I had a good experience. The food was solid, the vibe was nice, and I would definitely come back again.

Since…read moreneither of us had been to Barrel House before, we thought we'd give it a try--and we're so glad we did. We entered through the back entrance and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. We quickly found a table for two, and our server was attentive from the start, bringing water right away, answering our questions, and walking us through the wine and beer selections. My wife ordered the Beet & Salmon Salad, while I chose the Crispy Chicken Club with white cheddar and house-smoked bacon. The sandwich was absolutely incredible--hands down the best crispy chicken club I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the combination of flavors was outstanding. I also stole a few bites of my wife's salad and was pleasantly surprised by the yellow beets. I'd only ever had red beets before, and both varieties were prepared beautifully. The salmon was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with the fresh ingredients. Between the excellent food, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service, this turned out to be one of the best impromptu dinner dates we've had in quite some time. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and are already looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu. Highly Recommend!

We've been a plant-based family for nearly a decade, and when we landed in Detroit, we saw that this place was a must visit because of their plant based options. We got the soul burger and the "D-Boy" which had a fried onion ring on top of a very well seasoned plant-based patty that thankfully was not your typical mock meat like impossible and beyond meat brands. The onion rings were very good. It's very important if you are plant based or plant curious that you try your best to avoid mock meat because many of them have just as much chemical and unhealthy ingredients as regular meat. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back. You should try those burgers definitely if you're ever in the Detroit area. The vibe Inside was well done and the staff were helpful and helping us pick from the options they had on the menu, which was a lot. Who definitely plan on trying the dessert the next time we're there, but we just touchdown and did not want "Big Our Back too badly since we just touchdown in Detroit.

It's an easy place to settle in, whether you're grabbing a drink, meeting friends, or easing into a weekend. I love that they have brunch now, and it's legit. The Dubai pancakes are a must--flavorful, indulgent, and straight-up beautiful. They also know how to properly scramble an egg, which sounds basic until you realize how many places mess that up. We eat with our eyes first, and the food here always looks as good as it tastes. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. Great drinks, great food, great vibes. Definitely a go-to spot in Royal Oak--and one I'm always happy to highlight as @DonnyLB on IG/TikTok. Check me out and check this place out.

The inside and outside was decorated head-to-toe in festive lights, ornaments, and wrapping paper. My party and I sat in their igloo outdoor seating which highlighted the festive atmosphere. The igloo seating was easy to book online on Open Table with a max seating of 6 people per igloo. The holiday drink menu for the Jingle pop up had a lot of range. I tried their Santa's Milk & Cookies holiday cocktail, which came in a festive Mrs. Claus' mug. The drink was VERY strong! I ordered the Crisper Chicken Sandwich which had a delicious pesto aioli and sun-dried tomato relish which elevated the sandwich. Yum! Between the decor, themed drinks, great food, and the fun atmosphere, this event was such a great way to kick off the holiday season. If you're thinking about checking out a holiday pop-up, Ale Mary's Jingle is absolutely worth it!
