I thought the decor would be cheesy and the food mid but man was I pleasantly wrong. We had the zero clucks given with fries and a half tuna melt with the daily soup which was a chicken tortilla type soup. Everything was absolutely delicious. We had 2 different people checking on us but not obnoxiously so. The decor and atmosphere was cute and well done! read more

Solo dining at Pronto! Diner for Sunday brunch was exactly what the doctor ordered. I have eaten here multiple times over the years. Once I had met with a girlfriend from out-of-state here and we met for breakfast then with all our gabbing that went on for so long we then ordered lunch too. The patio out back is always a big hit whether it's meeting up with other couples, girlfriends or coworkers. Pronto never disappoints. It is a great place to enJOY food. Brunch is served daily till 3pm, Wednesday thru Sunday. Today was a brunch experience with Cinna-Apple French Toast which was yummy. The warm apples make you want to say, Oh! Oh! I also ordered a Hudson Maurice Salad to go for dinner. I just realized that I order multiple meals from this locations on a regular basis. This says a lot about the diner! Now the service is top-notch since 1991. Suede is awesome and he wears multiple hats. He is also the catering manager. On Sunday, street parking is free. Suede also let me know the parking structure a block over on S. Lafayette Ave. & W. Sixth St. also offers you the first two hours are FREE 99. read more

Excellent brunch and outstanding sandwiches, salads and sides. Excellent service, very attentive and helpful. Fun ambiance too, couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend. read more

Met for brunch at 1pm on a Sunday, made reservations but I'm not sure that was necessary. There were probably 15 people in the restaurant and lots of empty tables. Our service wasn't quick but it was okay because we were having a leisurely meal. I was never asked if I wanted more coffee and our water glasses were only refilled once during the 90 minutes we were there. Food was good, everyone seemed happy with their orders. The restaurant looks small from the outside but it's three storefronts with a walk thru between each building. Decor is cute and fun. read more

Slowest breakfast in history. There are FOUR tables and two servers. We ordered 35 minutes ago and no sign of food and the server is now avoiding eye contact. I will NEVER come here again. read more

Such a cute diner and lounge/show(two separate establishments that connect together, but have individual doors) in Royal Oak, located just a block off of Main Street on Washington Street. Pronto is super mid-century modern decked out and just absolutely delightful and their service and food menu are both so generous! My friend got this thing called a Hudson's Maurice Salad, which apparently was developed by the Hudson's department store for their cafes there - remember Hudson's?! Before it became Marshall Field's and then Macy's?! According to my friend, you rarely see this salad (mostly meat and egg) on menus anymore, which I guess I can probably attest to since I have never once seen this type of salad on any menu before. My other friend got the Twisted Tomato BLT and I got the Shrimp Po'boy. They do really good sandwiches, with really incredible ingredients! It was one of the best po'boys I've ever had and the portions were generous! Prices are super reasonable too. Definitely come here if you're looking for a spot that is more unique and casual - it's a ton of fun! I definitely want to come back again soon to check out the lounge area! read more

My best friend took me here for their Sunday Drag Brunch. FYI, food is only available before the show start time so be sure to get there early if you're planning to eat. Thankfully coffee, tea, and booze are available throughout the show. The space is cozy - it was PACKED! Our server was very friendly and took great care of us throughout the show. The Queen was hilarious - Iowna Lotsa Katz (IG: Iownamonique2021). Apparently she's there once a month with a rotation of three other Queens. read more

The food looked really good they didn't really have any vegan options but it was nice to link up with friends here the staff was so nice and the place is extremely cute and and well decorated . Can't wait to they add some vegan options but if not I'll def return for a photo oops read more

The 'zero clucks given' sammy is legit! My second time having it and honestly, I could eat it every day and give zero clucks about your judgment lol. Chicken is juicy, avocado creamy, sautéed peppers give it a lil sweetness, and the cheese crust they get on the outside of the bread is definitely a main character in this sammy, delicious! I'm just gonna order it again next week...for research purposes since I didn't get a pic for you guys now THAT'S dedication! Haha read more

Definitely two thumbs up! The place is very cute and has outdoor seating. The food was amazing. Three of us all ordered different things and we loved them all. The Maurice salad was very authentic and brought back good memories. Our server was very pleasant and efficient. Will definitely be back very soon! read more

Great for. Not your ordinary restaurant. A huge variety of different meals, vegetarian and vegan included.

LOVE the staff! Great lunch spot in downtown Royal Oak. Fun people, welcoming crowd, and eccentric decor that transforms the experience!

Service was great. We went on Mother's Day and were a bit disappointed. Not the menu of pre-pandemic-smaller portions for sure.

Love everything about this place food is amazing drinks are good it's a great place to have amazing food and good drinks

Second time coming for drag queen bingo, definitely a must do. Sabin was their when I went, great show, great jokes, great drinks. I already enjoy bingo and then to have banter during was enjoyable. I went with my mom and she truly enjoyed herself. I would recommend for anyone. read more

Stopped in here to check it out and saw they had a dessert case! There was carrot cake, German chocolate cake, banana pudding cheesecake, m and m cookies, cinnamon roll cookies, German chocolate cupcakes, and cookies and creme cookies. We got the banana pudding cheesecake and oh my lord it was delicious. Super fluffy and light with a perfect amount of banana flavor. We also got an m and m cookie which was perfectly chewy and soft. The cinnamon roll cookie also unpictured was not our favorite. But i can't wait to come back for brunch or dinner! The menu looks great and the vibes are cute. read more

For an all-American staple such as a burger, I was very pleased. Not only was our meal fast it was delivered with a touch of attitude (the fun sassy kind). The seasoning of the fries is unique and quite tasty. This place has really turned around since it changed hands a few years back. read more

Pronto! Had a really great dinner @prontodiner before a show at the Royal Oak Theater. All the entrees we had were very good: Cuban sandwich - savory pork, ham, Swiss & pickles on a sub with mustard & mayo. Served with seasoned fries. Maurice salad - ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, hard boiled egg on iceberg lettuce. Served with lemon mustard aioli. Power bowl with salmon - fantastic combination of mixed greens, mixed grains, pickled beets, avocado, sweet potatoes & brussel sprouts. Served with jalapeño vinaigrette. Great flavor combination & actually healthy. Nice when you can eat healthy when dining out! Really good food & service! read more

LOVE THE NEW MENU ADDITION With much love Prontos is still the public go to for restaurant eaters now with a new promising menu where East meets West. The Wagyu beef is introduced in the menu and a few of my favorites. You must go and try it out!! read more

Been coming here a long time, mostly to the bar side. The bartenders here are all amazing. Food is good and drinks are reasonably priced. I don't understand the negative reviews at all. read more

Simple straightforward and tasty menu here at pronto for brunch! Conveniently located near the theater for brunching before a Sunday show. Good deal on mimosas for table or you can order singly for $5 (if you're the only one at the table wanting an adult beverage). Service went well even though I'm pretty sure I only saw one server- had someone running food out which kept making the magic happen although it took a minute for the bill. Overall good experience and good food. read more

This is a long but important one. Our friend group had all been here before, and had positive experiences, so when our friend mentioned wanting to go for her birthday, we were all excited. We booked one of Sabin's shows, and sadly didn't realize it would ruin our birthday girl's night. It was clear from the start that this drag queen's schtick was to be mean. That's fine, we could handle it and expected that. We are not easily offended. Sabin started to call out one member of our table for being "so F*ing loud" and "so f*cking annoying" and mentioned hating our friend many, many times throughout the show. We thought it was part of the comedy routine. We were interacting and involved in the show, laughing and engaged. However, as the show was closing things became less funny, and more cruel. Sabin: (directed toward one friend) "SHUT UP! You are really so f*cking annoying. I am not even kidding I want to head butt you right now." (mind you this is happening in front of everyone) .. continues on and says, "You have been so disrespectful this entire show and have ruined the show for everyone else around you, you act like you're the only person in the room that matters. I hope you get hit by traffic." I looked shocked, as this suddenly started to feel less comedic "mean" and more just outright cruel. That's when Sabin noticed my face and said, "That's right I am calling you guys out in front of everyone because you have been so rude this entire show, dont act upset now that you got called out." We were truly all dumbfounded. The entire time we had been laughing, engaged, and playing along with all the jokes. Our waiter never once told us, hey can you guys quiet down or anything along the sort. No worker told us, "hey guys, we know youre having fun but can you quiet down?" All we thought was that Sabin was joking with us. We left the show feeling really sad, and embarrassed. Not to mention extremely confused about how things went from being fun, to incredibly rude. You would think this would be the end of it but no! We went next door to Pronto's bar, and went to order drinks. This is when we were told by a very rude bartender that we were cut off. Mind you, some of us were completely sober and some of us only had a few drinks and were by no means intoxicated to the point of needing to be cut off. I was one of the sober ones. When my friend questioned this and tried to explain the situation and requested to speak to a manager, the bartender became irate and said she was acting like a "toddler" because she wasn't getting her way. I have never in my life felt so disrespected for seemingly no reason, and the management felt to be like mean teenage girl mentality. It really felt like for some reason they took a dislike to us, and instead of telling us politely to quiet down or settle down a bit, they wanted to prove a point or something. We will never be giving our business to Pronto again, and you can bet that we will be telling everyone we know not to support the drag queen bingo as it truly did ruin the night and not even management tried to help us understand or smooth things over. I would never support this business again. I truly wish they would have handled things differently, and I think the night could have been salvaged but instead they chose to be incredibly unprofessional and mean-spirited to a girl who was just trying to celebrate her birthday. read more

The host and waiter (same person) seemed like he hated his life and we were an imposition. The food was good. One member of our party was served their food 7 minutes after the others food was brought out, which was disappointing. Probably won't go back again with so many other options in Royal Oak. read more

Update: Stopped by here recently and they seem to have closed, they were bought by the business next door. Had a good meal here. They did a good job with covid distancing, our waiter Dominic could not have been nicer. I had the Sante Fe salad which was delicious. Also had a refreshing cocktail that had cucumber, grapefruit, simple syrup and a few other things that I cannot remember but it was really good. Had 1, wanted a 2nd but restrained myself! The patio out back was perfect for social distancing. All the tables were spaced very far apart and we even pulled a another table to ours to make our group sit farther apart. Since it was very empty it worked out OK. You should go check it out , support the Royal Oak restaurants. read more

Always a good time. Staff is a lot of fun and food is reliably yummy. Great quality of events as well.

Came here during a weekday lunch with a coworker and sat outside on a beautiful sunny day. They are short staff and there's only one waiter. There was a group ahead of us and after we sat down and ordered, the lunch crowd started to pour in. This restaurant was recommended to me by my coworker and I'm glad I came. I ordered the Mediterranean Wrap with hummus and veggies and it came with fries! It was very delicious and satisfied my craving for veggies! I will definitely want to try more on the menu! read more

Actually, it was pretty decent. We stopped in here for a few drinks and a quick bite before hitting up an event at Royal Oak Music Theatre over the weekend. HopCat was too packed and a few other spots either weren't open yet or were horrible (more on those later), so we took a chance on Pronto. The bartender was friendly and we were served immediately. The place wasn't too busy yet, but people started coming in shortly after we grabbed a table. We both ordered Stella Artois on tap (I was pleased they had it on tap as a lot of bars don't) and a few shots, plus we decided on some shared apps because we didn't really want a heavy meal. The food menu looked pretty good, so we opted for the cheesy tater tots (sans bacon) and the hummus app. Both hit the table in a reasonable amount of time and the portions were pretty generous for two people, definitely how you'd describe a shareable appetizer dish. The tater tots were really good. I'd definitely get them again without hesitation. The hummus app with pita bread was pretty good, too. Honestly, the texture of the hummus was definitely on the more dry side, with a nice, thicker consistency. I dislike super oily hummus, so slightly drier is a bit preferable to both of us. The app was also plenty large for two and by the time we were done eating the apps and had a few drinks, we felt as if we'd already enjoyed a full meal, albeit without the bloated, extremely full feeling afterwards. The service was fine, the food and drink menus were both pretty decent (I was kinda miffed they didn't sell the Pie Hole liquor brand, but oh well, not important), the food was good, they had Stella on tap and the prices were definitely good, considering the location. The bathroom left a lot to be desired- horrible lighting, bad decor, a little dirty, etc, but it's a sort of a dive bar, so I get it. Overall, definitely a decent spot for a drink and some apps. I'm sure we'll be back for a drink again eventually. read more

This was my first visit with the new concept/menu/ownership. What a disappointment! The service would have been fine if there wasn't only one server for the entire restaurant. Our server was allegedly being helped by the manager but it was slow and he never returned to our table for drink refills or to check how the food was. We actually had to search him out to pay our bill. It took roughly 45 min for our food to arrive. To add insult to injury, the food was incredibly mediocre. I had the mac and cheese and it was flavorless, lukewarm, and had unmelted cheese. Such a sad state of what used to be a staple in the area. read more

Not impressed with the food or the items on the menu. The only thing nice about this restaurant is the patio.

I was in here recently and the experience, service provided by one of your staff was fantastic. I believe his name was Chad (bald, bearded with glasses). He made the entire experience and my night out wonderful. He was Very professional, attentive, polite, professional, good sense of humor and fun. I appreciate a wonderful experience and will be back to visit soon and look forward to being served hopefully by Chad again. read more

So, there are places that make you feel welcome and places that make you feel like you're at home...Pronto gives the best of both worlds minis the family drama!

A bar is a bar, but a family is also a family, especially for folks that aren't from here and Chad makes everyone feel welcome. read more

We had our furry wing man with us and had to find a spot that would let him tag along. Based on the fact that their website stated pet friendly, we headed over to Pronto. Like every other restaurant we have been to post pandemic, they were clearly short of help. I wandered about for a while to figure out how to get a table. Eventually, a friendly waiter who was also taking orders and clearing tables helped me out, or perhaps I should say in. . Now here we are old enough to be everyone's parents in the place with Wisconsin dripping off of us. However, we fit into the odd assortment of guests and staff, who drop F-bombs as a matter of regular speech. We had simple appetizers, the fries, which were tasty and crab cakes, which were a bit mushy. And my partner had a commercial beer. Though a pet friendly place, my pooch was not offered even water, but he travels with his own bowl. I was looking for place where we could enjoy the weather, some apps, drinks, and bring the dog. Pronto fit the bill. We it enjoyed Pronto, but no so much the Royal Oak two hour limit parking, on a dead Tuesday night, that kept us from staying for the Karaoke. . read more
