    Came on a Saturday around brunch time and this place was super packed! The wait ahead option is pretty cool because you can join the waitlist and have a live update to see where you are in line. We were running errands in the area and found this to be helpful however, once we got there it still seemed like we had a long wait! So we got lucky and snagged two seats at the bar. The food was pretty good, I ordered the Cinnamon Swirl French toast and I love the fact that they make their own bread fresh daily! The ambiance was a bit chaotic dining in wise but I'm happy we got seated at the bar, it felt more comfortable than squeezing into the dining area. Most people looked seated very closely to each other. I almost forgot to snap a pic, so the picture is showing the French toast after I cut it up! Sorry lol

    This is a breakfast / brunch spot and it's closed on Sundays? Makes zero sense to me. My bad. I should have looked up their hours before we drove here. So totally bummed, Sunday is our brunch day out.

    Service was quite efficient. We were in and out in less than 40 minutes for a brunch date. It was a busy weekend and I did feel a little rushed but everyone was pleasant and the food was great!

    This is a great spot with delicious and fresh breakfast options. I was really helpful with my hash and the bread was very good too. Service was prompt and friendly!

    this place is a fan favorite and always insanely busy! food is always top tier - just wish it was a bigger restaurant! the banana nut french toast was delicious to say the least! service is always pleasant for how busy they are. i love all of the attention to details with their dishware and decorations. clean bathrooms and place overall.

    We went for a brunch on a Monday afternoon and loved everything about the place. There was some wait time but it is quite easy to get in line from their website which we did while starting from home. They have both brunch and lunch menu and it is pretty extensive with lot of vegetarian options. We ordered Vegetarian Rueben, Chicken Strip Pita, Crispy Chicken Sandwich and cheese blintz crepes and all of them were super yummy. The staff were pleasant and attentive and the prices are very reasonable.I would definitely go again.

    Very popular brunch spot in the Kroger plaza. Plenty parking and Krogers for browsing while you wait. We were told the wait would be 30 mins but waited an hour. When we got seated, food actually came out pretty quickly and food was good. We ordered the pitcher of juice; nothing special other than it being freshly squoze. Service was friendly and efficient. That entry way gets chaotic. Ppl wait right at the door, cluttering it. Was a lot to deal with just to get a table. Space is small but aesthetic is cute. Will go again but maybe will do take out instead of dining in.

    Excellent food & service. Decor is on point as well. Definitely worth a visit! If you try the crepes, the strawberry blintz filling is worth it!

Did a search for eateries in close proximity and decided on the Olde Detroit Burger Bar in Lake Orion. Not too sure how long this establishment has been in business, but it was either relatively new or recently renovated making it a very welcoming restaurant/bar. We started at a table out on the front patio area, but sweat bees didn't take long to come around. Our Granddaughter was not crazy about the bees, so we moved indoors. Our order: Kids' Slider & Fries; Greektown Salad with Gyro Meat; and The Woodward Avenue Burger topped with seared onion, tomatoes, and pickles with a side of sweet potato fries. I was struggling with my decision and thanks to our stunning server, Jozefina, she assisted me in making the choice to go with The Woodward Avenue Burger. The restaurant/bar had a decent crowd for a Sunday afternoon. Our service was very good, and the food was top-notch. They have a full bar and numerous tvs to keep you busy while dining or having fun at the bar. I am glad we do not live close by, or I would probably gain weight like crazy eating these wonderful burgers and other menu items all the time. If you are fortunate enough to reside in the Lake Orion area, you need to check this place out!

My wife and I ate here after having a splendid breakfast many months ago we thought we would return for dinner. They sat us by the bar there was no one else in the restaurant not sure why we had to sit next to the bar. We had other customers standing at the bar with her faces with their butts in our faces There were so many other better seats I should've said something but I didn't. We ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms, which on the picture it showed seven when it showed up there were only five mushrooms. What was missing the most was crab meat it was a literally a bunch a shake on top of barely stuffed mushroom. Mostly fancy sauce and a ton of bread crumbs to hide the lack of crab....for $17! My wife ordered a sandwich which she enjoyed I think it was a Reuben made out of turkey and I ordered a signature Smash burger. We both ordered french fries that looked like they had been sitting in the basket most of the day because they were cold, and we're starting to shrink from sitting out. By the time we were done, my bill was $90 after tipping the waitress paying their 3% rip off fee. We both were expressing discontent as we left through the parking lot. It has been a while since I had breakfast there, which I never read them for and would've given them a five for that but this menu was not that menu.

It's a nice, clean place that honestly could use a professional interior decorator, but the staff was friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a party of six and no one complained. The short rib pasta dish had a nice bite to it it was very flavorful and they didn't skimp on the short rib portion size. The steak sandwich was excellent and according to our friends, the pork chop was one of the best they've ever eaten. And while we didn't get to experience it, apparently there's a speakeasy in the basement. Cool! I imagine the locals in the area know about this place but if you are not a local ( we were not) it's worth the drive. Just don't blink when driving near Pelton road or you'll miss it.

Our server was Bella, she couldn't be sweeter. She was very helpful when we had questions about the menu and accommodated our requests. We started with the bread and butters, herb butter and goat cheese butter, it was good. We were hoping to get the Burrata with peach, but it was sold out (our reservation was at 5:30, btw). We ordered cocktails including the Fireside Old Fashioned, which were good. I got the Pineapple Express, but I asked for tequila instead of Mezcal. It had a nice kick. We also had an espresso martini which was good and not made with anything creamy (in case you care). I got the ribeye French dip with fries (more like wedges and yummy!) The sandwich had Horseradish sauce, arugula, and pickled red onions. I enjoyed it without the au jus even. My boyfriend got 3 carne asada tacos, bigger than the average taco, and they were decent, not bad and I also realize that this is not a Mexican restaurant. He also got French onion soup, which he likes to get often. He said it was bland and not very cheesy. Our friends both ordered flat breads. Pepperoni and hot honey, and Prosciutto and melon, both really liked what they ordered. I wish we had time to go and check out the speakeasy downstairs, next time we come to Pine Knob, we will come extra early and check it out.
