    We have been going to Comet Burger in Royal Oak for years. We loved the new owner and he told us he…read moreopened up a spot closer to us. We haven't had the chance to stop by. Today was the day we got to finally stop by. They have seating outside and a drive thru. It is pretty cold out so we went through the drive-thru. It didn't take a super long time to order our food. They had the same food as the other location. It is a cute little spot. My husband ordered space cowboy burger and it is his favorite. I got a comet slider and it was delicious. The fries were good but to be honest I am going to admit they taste even better at the other location. The service was amazing. The lady working told us that she loves the owner. Meat is brought in fresh every day. The fries are dropped fresh every time as well. We would love to come visit again soon.

    Ayyy! Yelp will actually let me review something that's permanently closed, for the time being at…read moreleast. So very unsurprised by this closure. As everyone and their mother has already pointed out their prices were too damn high! It's one thing to pay more to go to a sit down burger joint in Royal Oak where you get to soak in that classic 50s theme all around you with extensive decor but what's the point when it's a former Checker's in St. Clair Shores with only a drive thru and a couple of outside tables with zero ambiance. You can sit and look over at the Burger King where everything would have been cheaper. Or at least you could. The food isn't that special to justify the extra expense. Went here a couple times which was one too many and the grub didn't seem nearly as good as the OG Comet Burger in Royal Oak. Me typing out this review is the very definition of beating a dead horse and I got over a hundred other things to review but I just couldn't resist.

    Service, food, and ambiance 5/5…read more The seafood appetizer was expertly prepared. In my experience, it is quite common to have swordfish served overcooked and tough. Not here! The swordfish was out of this world- tender, succulent, & well spiced. Even the saffron rice it was served upon was lovely. Hubby enjoyed the cracker crusted app pizza, as well. The wagyu burger was quite possibly the best burger I have ever enjoyed. Even the gluten free bun was, (dare I say), a stand out. Hubby's wagyu was served on a "normal" bun which he said was outstanding as well. It is called a Grown up Happy Meal. Finally, the truffle fries were prepared in what appeared to be in the classical, French way, that is, like pomme frites. The only down side to these fries was that I may not ever be able to go back to normal fries. Yes, that good. And served with aioli- my favorite. This dining experience was fantastic. Great friendly guests, too!

    This place was recommended to me by a friend, so I was excited to try it. Nice ambience, they…read moreappeared to have two sides; One appears to be like a bar area and then the other side is like the dining room area. Both decorated beautifully. Perfect for family dinners, date nights, large, or small groups. Our waitress was very helpful and friendly. She really took my food allergy serious, which I truly appreciated. She made sure that she double checked with me on certain items to ensure that I received exactly what I wanted. The drinks were delicious & refreshing! Absolutely loved the green tea shots. I ordered the lamb chops, medium. They were very juicy and tender. However, they did need just a little bit more seasoning. Overall, delicious meal. I definitely will go back.
