    a glass of beer on a napkin

    i used to go there pre Covid. today ordered a pizza "to go" in the car. Arrived early and ordered a beer. There is something wrong with the compression or the keg is old. it was FLAT. The Bar Tender brushed her hair right in front of the pass where ice is kept. When I arrived at home and the dough was raw. There were four tables in a restaurant that used to be full. I wish you the best. I won't be back.

    I've been coming here for over 25 years. So, today when looking for a place to eat on Yelp, I was surprised by the low ratings and comments posted recently for this establishment. Since it was Saturday, I thought I would check it out, because traditional9ly they've offered a pizza deal of a large square pizza with 5 items for a little more than 1/2 off. It was early Saturday evening so the places pretty sparse of diners. Surprise the pizza deal not as great as in the past. Now the large is limited to only 2 items for $10.99 or small with 3 toppings for $6.99. Ordered the small with sausage, ham and green onions, also onion rings to munch on while pizza cooked. Perfect and large serving of rings for $3.99. Asked pizza to be sliced into 6 pieces. Rather than 4. When it arrived at my table, it looked good and didn't disappoint in taste. Still a great place for Detroit style square pizza.

    January's pizza special. Really cheap and very good food.

    Atmosphere is cozy abd comfortable with a heavy sports bar decor. The food is basic, but good, and the prices are reasonable.

Finally stumbled in on a Sunday afternoon, and secretly loved it here. When I walked in, I immediately thought "is this an off shoot of Red Coat Tavern before it was Red Coat Tavern? Why does it look like a Mafia place from the 1970's with a 1995 sports bar feel?" I find I'm still thinking about this place even days later. No, it's not the coolest place in town, but I kind of like it because it's a typical bar with regulars and randoms like me. I decided to grab a mid afternoon bite and didn't want to be bothered with the usual places as I have grown tired of them. Also, there's this new thing called Yelp Cash Back, and this was the closest place to me that does it, and since I don't know much about Yelp Cash Back, I wanted to see if it really worked. Anyways, I scoured the menu and found a BBQ burger that sounded right up my alley. The bartender was also my server, and she was miraculously running the whole area by herself. Mind you, when I got here, it was dead. There was me, in a booth far far away, and two older dudes who were clearly regulars watching football on the TV's over the bar. Clearly, the two guys and the bartender were familiar with each other, and I secretly loved it, and watched as they interacted amoungst each other. Gave me a cheers feeling that sometimes you don't always find anymore. My burger came out with fries, and it was a okay. Nothing exciting really, but good non the less. I polished it off with the fries and downed a sprite since I wasn't in the mood to have any booze. Another reason I like this place is because it seems to be douchebag free. Honest good people without an agenda. As time went on during my meal, more people started rolling in. Some of them were regulars, as they were warmly greeted by name from the bartender, and asked if she could get them their "usual" beer and meal. Again, loved it. I should also give my props to the bartender. She was hilarious without knowing it. When I walked in, she greeted me immediately, and asked how I was doing. After my eyes adjusted to the light, I realized she was bundled up in about 12 coats, a hoodie, and stated that she was freezing since the cold air was blasting her every time the door opened. I have no clue what this place is like when it's busy, but it's a nice casual atmosphere. I would gladly return in the future even though it's not the most remarkable place in town, but I still love it. The food was decent, loved the atmosphere and for $9, I got a burger, fries and a Sprite. $9!

Had the appetizer steak bites which are very tasty (just wish there were more for the $18 price) and my husband had a burger which he loved, perfectly seasoned and an actual burger that was more than a 1/2 inch thick. I ordered fish and chips.

Are you guys going to respond to the alleged sexual predator issue going on with your head manager Jacob Wutka or what? A post (the text in quotes below) is circulating around, there are plenty of comments from past employees corroborating your guys hiring of and keeping predators employed and these comments talk about this issue being existent years ago. Time to address this regardless of what is going on. You cannot run from this. We will not let it happen. The circulating post: "Meet Jake. Jake is a current registered child registered sex offender who is a current employee at the Hamlin Pub in the downtown Rochester area. Jake was charged with having sensually charged contact with a minor under the age of 18. Jake was involved some time back in a sting operation ran by none other than Chris Hansen, which led to his initial charges and current status as a child sex offender. As a former employee of hamlin pub who worked closely with Jake for the last couple of months without any knowledge of his past crimes, I am very well informed by the fact that, since he is employed as a head manager at this Hamlin Pub location, has minors from high-school around the surrounding area (adams, rochester, stoney creek) currently working and employed under his care. I made my own attempt to confront management and ownership of the fact that they currently employ a registered child sex offender with the management and supervision over minors in high-school, I was subsequently and permanent tresspassed from the property on part of management and ownership as a result of bringing this information to light. Please do your due diligence to make this individual famous around your own communities and around the rochester and rochester hills areas as well. Please share this post with friends, family and neighbors so that we can cultivate a culture of accountability towards these deplorable sex criminals within our own communities. Jake clearly shows within his own mugshot that he expresses no remorse for any of his actions or criminal conduct, and should be placed in an environment in which high-school minors are frequently employed at. Here is the address and contact info of the hamlin pub in rochester: +12489632252 1488 N Rochester Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48307"

When the order first arrived, the receipt actually said gluten-free, but the burger had a regular bun instead. I didn't catch it right away, but after taking a bite something felt off.

I reordered, and the second order came out correct . Things happen, but I really appreciate when companies handle issues the right way. Rusty Bucket and DoorDash both made it right, which goes a long way. Overall still a positive experience, and I'll definitely be ordering again. Probably tonight.

Overall for the quality of the food and the quantity, the price point was not justified. $20 for the tacos, $20 for the chicken pesto, $9 for the sliders kids meal. In terms of the quality the meals were all pretty heavy and oily with the chicken pesto being the most heavy and oily. The sliders my kid did like although the fries were a bit soggy and bland to a kid who usually loves fries. The fish tacos were pretty good along with the corn salsa that is included and I'm glad I got this since it wasn't too heavy. The atmosphere was nice and dark with moderate lighting. The service was okay. There was people coming in on a Sunday morning. Overall it was just an average American restaurant in my opinion with the food not worth the price.

I really need to and plan to return to the original location in downtown Detroit. I just feel the chicken wings are more flavorful and my hummer ice cream cocktail is delicious at that location. Service has been good both times here. The waiters are pleasant. The ambiance is decent and it's a small bar with booths and tables. It's not fancy and more of a hole in the wall. The food is hit or miss. The chicken wings can be good and they can also be just ok. The fries were hot, crispy and tasty on this visit. This visit the wings were ok. The steak bites were good. I enjoyed the steak bites more than the signature wings. The steak bites were well seasoned with onions and mushrooms. The mushrooms were canned mushrooms though. Then with the A1 Sauce added it was a good. The drinks are STRONG. I can say this is a great thing. Overall an average visit. I probably will try another location and see if the hype is still there.

Then it takes the takeout woman to ask if I'd been serviced and I said no and she does give me a menu....its not her job as she said shes only the takeout person so I was never expecting her to get my order yet no other server or bartenders offers after having the menu for another 20 mins. And again they weren't busy or packed; normally I wouldn't even wait that long but I wasn't in a hurry and was genuinely hungry but At that point I was turned off and no longer wanted to eat there in which the bartender apologized and said she thought I was with another group...-_- I walked in alone and I have blue braids so I find it astonishing she made that assumption so can't comment on the food but service is the first step to any experience and this was terrible.

    Shamrock Pub is a family friendly establishment, mainly known for its chargrilled burgers. So much…read moreso, the burgers are often hailed as the best in Macomb County. Its ambiance is more updated than the average pub, and outdoor seating is available during the warmer months. The menu here is concise. However, a wide array of options isn't necessary, as the majority of Shamrock's clientele come here for the burgers. For instance, I recently dined in, and noticed just one sandwich come out of kitchen that wasn't a burger. I also, unfortunately, noticed that all the buns get microwaved prior to serving. This wouldn't have bothered me, but the buns were still in the plastic bag they came in. As for the burger, it's definitely good, but frankly, it's overrated. It's enjoyable, but there's plenty of bars out there serving comparable burgers. The portion size of the French fries is generous. Similar to the burger though, the fries are worth getting, but are nothing to write home about. If you prefer a simple and affordable burger, you'll absolutely love Shamrock. On the flip side, the burger is not in the same league as Bronx Bar, Grey Ghost, Redcoat Tavern, etc. As a whole, what makes Shamrock such a desirable spot is how fairly priced the menu is.
