    I guess these are new menus!!
    Linda N.

    Stopped in this local favorite spot for some dinner with family. Now if you are a resident of the metro Detroit area you have been here at least once in your life. This is the original location and there are now two other locations, one in the Wayne State area and in Southfield. *Sidebar....there used to be one inside of Fairlane Mall but it has now been closed for a while but it was where me and my husband went on our first date together(we are about to celebrate 12 years of marriage next month!!) This was a Saturday around 6pm when we came and it was a nice crowd but we were immediately seated at a table that had not been wiped clean so I asked the hostess/server if she could get someone to wipe down the table. I guess she got mad because I asked her to not place our silverware packets on the dirty table and she never came back lol! So another server(I forgot her name) came and wiped the table down, apologized and greeted us and asked if we wanted to get any drinks since it was still happy hour while we viewed the menu. So we ordered our food and drinks and some of that good bread they have! As the gentleman was approaching our table with our food in his hands he did the biggest yawns all over one of the plates!! And when I say mouth wide open, it was wide open!!! We all didn't even know what to say, so my family member who's plate it was just risked her life and ate it anyway and didn't complain. So my other family member ordered nachos but her food didn't come out with the rest of our food, weird right! We all ate our food and still no nachos lol the server apologized and we asked for a manager I think his name was Dontae, he took her food off the bill. They did eventally come out after we were putting our coats on. Now I have to say my t-bone steak, my fried shrimp and my salad was good. The other food was also good and I love their zip sauce. The complaints: The floor was dirty near the entrance, the ladies restroom needs to be tore out and completely remodeled(I was scared to use it). The music was so loud at one point I heard one of the staff scream to turn it down. The condiments on the table were all basically empty. Would I go back....sure I would because it holds a special place in me and my husbands heart lol! We just pray that owner cleans up those certain areas.

    Whole red snapper,,deep fried to perfection.

    Cool spot to have dinner and maybe catch a comedy show. This place has a club connected to it. It was louder than what I normally expect. The service was cool the food was great! Flat screens for games overall good experience.

    I visit this location often and can usually count on pretty decent service and very good food. The atmosphere fits the bill for a friendly neighborhood bar. There are TVs all around playing the latest games and typical banter every time I stop in. The bartenders are always generous with their pours and my favorite is the frozen Tito's lemonade slushy drink. The menu choices are vast and the food tastes great. Whether you're in the mood for salad or a full out surf and turf meal, this is your place; with everything in between. Oh and let's not forget to mention the garlic bread! If you're in the area, you should check them out. You won't be disappointed. They have other locations downtown and in Dearborn, but this is the original and in my opinion the best of the bunch.

    Steak bites

    The prices are very affordable. I was AMAZED at the quality of the food. This isn't typical bar food. Everything I tasted was delicious. The cat fish bites, fried shrimp red snapper. The portions are HUGE. Tensy was our waitress. She's the BEST!! Great customer service, knew the menu & gave good suggestions

    Philly Cheesesteak
    Trai W.

    Haven't been here in a while. Decided to give it another try. My favorite back in the day was the Philly cheesesteak, I stopped coming because of the quality of the meat. This time I decided to try it and upgrade using the Delmonico steak. I can say the portions were very generous and it was well seasoned. However the texture of the steak, wasn't good. Just doesn't seem like quality steak anymore. The drinks were very strong and good. Next time I come I'll just order the drinks.

    a bar with a variety of drinks

    The best out of all the locations!!! They literally treat you like family here!!! I love sitting at the bar it's no telling who your run into here

    So I ordered the steak and shrimp it was delicious after a long day of working my sides were a baked potato and Mac n cheese I didn't really care for it but the steak with the Zip sausage was cooked perfectly

    a half eaten sandwich

    Unsanitary and filthy food preparation!!!!! On 4-13-21 we place a pickup order which consisted of (4) burgers and fries. The young lady who took the order got the special request correct as stated. We were given a wait time of an hour. When the order was picked up we checked the burgers to make sure they were correct. 3 out of 4 were incorrect! So we sent them back for correction. Once we received our "corrected" order and got to our destination, we checked them again. Upon checking them a second time one had onions that was not requested, 2 and 3!!! Was supposed to be plain with bacon, cheese and burger only! As you can see in the picture they wiped the mayo and most of the onions off!! THIS IS A NASTY AND UNACCEPTABLE PRACTICE! I called and spoke with a manager who stated the she would make me another order, however if I didn't want it tonight I would have to hold on to this and return it tomorrow which is their company policy. I explained to her that I would not be returning for anything. I have never been to any food establishment that wiped anything and returned it as new. Now my question would be. What did you wipe it with? FILTY FUCKING SERVICE!! No disrespect to the young lady taking the order. The manager is held accountable for her staff. Maybe I should contact the Health department?

    Terrible. Undercooked. Macaroni was hard and had a weird smell. Overall, it was a waste of money.

Made myself hella uncomfortable. I'm the Food and Beverage manager at The Hilton in San Diego. ( 3 bars and 4 restaurants). Meeting a group also From the Hilton Family. When i approached the door their immediate response was. "Can we help you." Usually you would say hi and ask for an ID ‍. But not these clowns. Than they ask what can I do for you? ( that's when I truly knew I was not welcome). Well for starters you can ask for my ID and let myself in ‍. That would be a normal and appropriate question to ask somebody. When others walked in before and after me. They just waived them by and did not ask for ID AT ALL! I was not welcome there To SAY THE LEAST!! I turned around and simply went back to my car. My friends of 8 left 20 mins after I reached out. They had to close out a tab that I was suppose to be paying for. I was buying for the entire group. My company limit to spend was $2,500. Great work . Those 3 wouldn't ever work another day for me. You lost more than $2,500. Because now the group that goes there is never coming back. August 17th @ 9:15 pm.

Parking was free on the night I visited, but I'm fairly sure that there's normally a charge. There is a coat check, which is nice. I was alone so I sat at the bar which seats about 20 in really close quarters. There are also several tables. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and salmon croquettes with potatoes and onions. The dish was served with a sort of remoulade. The croquettes were thin and slightly overcooked with crispy edges, but had good seasoning. I enjoyed the potatoes with onion. The happy hour menu is very affordable with various food items and drinks. The regular menu items are also inexpensive. A dj was spinning, which was a great. The music was appropriate for the crowd. I bopped for sure. The staff was courteous, but I did wait quite a while for my meal and my bill. One of the owners checked on me often which made me feel welcome and my patronage appropriated. I would recommend giving it a try. I will definitely return.
