I've been to Uptown many times, usually in the evenings for dinner and live music. It's usually a good experience once you park and get inside and as long as you have the right expectations. The place is huge: dining rooms, private room, large bar area with many TVs, a stage and dance floor area, plus an outdoor patio which is enclosed for all year round use. It is usually very busy and therefore very loud especially in the bar/TV area. The menu has lots of options including for restricted diet which I appreciate being gluten free. The portions are large, you get your money's worth, even if the food itself is not super imaginative. The salads are my favorite, and are large enough to share. The Chop salad with steak and shrimp is very filling. The Greek with chicken actually comes with a good amount of toppings, not just a single beet or pepperoncini pepper on top. The service is always great and staff is friendly and accommodating. Splitting bills even for a large group is not an issue. If you're there on a weekend night for the live music, the dance floor area can get packed. The crowd and vibe depends on which band and music genre is playing. Overall it's usually a good night out, not a lot of places where you can get dinner and dance in the same location. read more

This was my first visit to Uptown Grille and unfortunately, I neglected to take photos. My friend and I both ordered Uptown Chicken which was supposed to be lightly breaded with a garlic cream sauce. When our food arrived, we were both surprised at the amount of breading on the chicken and the thick sauce. Although the flavor of the dish was good, it was much heavier than we expected. I ordered the petite baked potatoes and my friend got mashed potatoes. I preferred her mashed over the baked. The green beans were fresh and yummy. Overall a fine experience, but nothing to write home about. read more

I've been here several times, and enjoyed the restaurant, bar, and the food in both. I've given positive reviews. This review though, is for Mothers day dinner. Very expensive, very mediocre. Buffet style, but in the Golden Corral kinda way. Great place to eat mostly, just find something else for Mothers Day. read more

When I pulled up, the parking lots were packed! It had been 10 years since I've been here. It huge inside with multiple bars, tons of TV and loud AF. The decor is pretty cool. We sat in the covered patio with heater and it was a bit quicker. We had great service. The menu is a typical bar fare. It's a shoulder shrug food experience. Nothing bad but not great either. The starter of bang bang shrimp was flavorful and the shrimp crispy but that's where it ended. The salads were subpar. Some might say, it's a salad - aren't they boring? No, they shouldn't be. I added shrimp to mine and somehow the shrimp had no flavor. Where did it go? The ahi tuna salad looked good too but the tuna was cooked too much. It should just kiss the heat, not actually cook. The curley fries arrived cold. It was expensive for what we got. read more

Thank you for an excellent Mother's Day brunch! I'm always happy with the food when I come here :)

I grew up around Detroit but I reside in Jacksonville Florida now. My wife and I flew up to the Detroit area for a concert along with a few days with friends and family. Someone I know suggested Uptown Grille as a good place for a large group. I'm glad they did! There were 10 of us so I can't speak to all of the food everyone had but I can speak to the treatment we received, which was top notch. I am really mad at myself because I can't remember the name of the gentleman who waited on our group but he was GREAT. He had a young lady with him that he was training on July 1st, 2025 so I hope that helps. Both him and her were so nice to everyone in our group through the whole night. I wish they could've waited on us at the next place we went to, but that's for another (unfortunately bad) review. We are just very happy to have had this great experience at Uptown Grille tonight. read more

First time here. Very interesting place. It has something for everyone. Nice dining room on the east side, bar atmosphere in the middle, a large enclosed and heated patio-like vibe on the west side. A bit loud there, which is where we sat. The menu also has something for everyone. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snackers. We tried a salad, nachos and wings. All were great! On a Saturday evening there were two birthday party tables nearby who seemed to have a great time. The band was awesome (Love Junkies). About 9pm it turns into more of a night club. Our server, Bianca, was wonderful. Very attentive and on point. Super friendly too. Check out their menu. I usually steer away from places if the menu is too large. They got it though. My sense is that the kitchen is very well managed, as is the front of the house. We will be back. read more

Very busy and very loud on a Friday night. Live music in the bar area and a private party with maybe Karaoke happening in another room. Food was okay for what I ordered; Steakhouse handheld and fries. Everyone else got pasta and had a ton of leftovers. read more

The chicken Parmesan was just ok, the garlic bread had no flavor at all but the turkey burger was thee best thing I've ever had. I will definitely be coming back for that. At first I wasn't going to have dessert but I have never heard of a waffle cake so we all split it. This thing was heaven. I was not prepared for how good that waffle was. Very soft yet crisp with a vanilla buttery flavor and then the whipped cream and fruit add to the magic. The ice cream is just a bonus to bring the symphony of flavor together perfectly! read more

Great lunch today. Stopped in after appointment at West Bloomfield Henry Ford. Sorta busy. We sat in main dining room. Very clean. Hostess was very polite and wanted us to be patient as there was only 1 server. And that was Maria. She was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive even though she was busy. We ordered the lunch portions of chicken picatta and bourbon street mac n cheese. Lunch portions my behind. Absolutely huge. Way too much for 1 eater. Chicken picatta had lots of lemon caper butter sauce and plenty of artichokes. Plenty of tender chicken. Bourbon Street mac was very good. Had a creole sauce that was just above my heat level but I still enjoyed it. Lots of red and green peppers. Applewood smoked bacon was a nice culinary touch. My wife ordered a Peanut Butter Explosion with ice cream for dessert. Also enough for 2. Brownie, peanut butter mousse, vanilla ice cream, and some chocolate drizzle. Very happy with the service and the food. Traffic on Maple rd. can be a bite at the wrong time of day but this is still a go to place in my book. And ask for Maria. read more

Absolutely a sh!t show. Hilarious. Do not go here. Service and management are terrible

Food: I ordered Cobb Salad w blackened chix. The chix was moist and thick. Could have used a bit more avocado, but I had enough food overall to take home for 2nds. Beer: a big glass of microbrew from MI only $7 Service: I think her name was Rachel. She had a lot of business, but still offered me small samples of beer so I liked what I ordered. Ambiance: sports bar Value: very good read more

Finally was able to make it into Uptown and of course it was very busy like always. Staff were very friendly in recommending the best spot to sit (since it was cool outside) and at getting us seated quickly. Our waitress did take a lot of time to come to our table (about 15 minutes after sitting) and we finally flagged down the two gentleman that were the hostess. They right away got our waitress to the table. We put in our orders and waited maybe 10 minutes for our appetizers and another 15 for our food. This all came at perfect timing. I was happy to be able to enjoy my appetizers in peace and not be rushed with my entree. We did order from the bar and were happy because there were non-alcoholic spirits/beer to choose. The food was actually very delicious. I'm not a fan or "bar food", but this didn't tasted anything of that nature. Food was hot and fresh. Nothing tasted frozen at all. Chicken wings were very good. The steak bites were very delicious. I ordered the uptown chicken which came with some potatoes and green beans. This dish was very good, but maybe I would ask for sauce in the side. Just a personal preference. The chicken was seasoned so well! And you get two pieces which is nice. My friend ordered the fried perch and said it was good. Fish was crispy and not soggy. Overall the steak bites might have been my favorite thing I tried today. Their breadsticks were great too. We left as the band was setting up which would have been amazing to see. The menu has a lot of kid friendly items and items for many dietary restrictions. Definitely recommend this restaurant for a family putting, party, solo dinner, anything you want. You will not be disappointed. read more

From a simple dinner to hosting a celebration, every experience has been wonderful. My only comment--more of a suggestion than a complaint--is that it would be great to have more options for grilled vegetables, not just steamed, especially for larger parties. From management to the greeters, and especially the wait staff, everyone has always been top-notch. read more

Uptown Grille absolutely nailed it. We loved the whole experience! The food was incredible, the service spot-on, and the vibe was awesome.

Honestly nothing bad to say about this place, but I was just disappointed with the food. I wish I had taken pictures. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating, and the restaurant is huge - multiple different rooms for dining, bar, patio etc. Their menu is pretty large so I was stuck deciding what to order, but in the end I was disappointed. The Mac and cheese is nothing special, and the grilled chicken substitute in the beef burger was not anything good. It was dry, it was very unevenly cut. Maybe I would go back and try something else but I was definitely let down this time around. read more

typically no complaints from uptown. we go here about once every couple months for a drink and the nachos. we love love the nachos and it's plenty of food for us. but when i saw that the side of guac was teeny tiny was a downside. always a busy time at uptown and a generally popular local hangout. i prefer to grab a chair at the bar versus taking a table. we opted for the table this time. it's not as fun. we also took a spin on the dance floor. great place. overall. read more

As you know, it rare from this Yelp account to give 5 stars. EBS was picky and I am keeping up his legacy. But great food with friendly service that is there when you need them, and lots of free parking, they earned it. Also the ability to make reservations for a group of friends so separate checks is a must is at times hard to find. Everytime I drive past, the lot is almost filled. So I booked a Memorial Day lunch for my Meetup group. That filled up quickly and hardly any dropped out. Kitchen was at times a little slow, but that is getting to be the normal lately. But the huge nachos appetizer help with the wait. I took some home and it warmed up well. I ordered the strip steak for $28 which is a bargain right now. It was large enough for me to take 2/3 of it, the wild rice and the asparagus home and they tasted great even warm up. One other order it too and told me he was happy he did. Others loved what they ordered. While I didn't get a chance to photograph the adult drinks menu, but the few that ordered beer and wine was satisfied with their choice. Those of us that ordered dessert share some with others. The bumpy cake is one of the reasons we will be back. Parking is easy with the size of the lot, you may have to walk a little. Some handicap parking is right across from the door but not sure if it will be enough when they are busy. I was told to book this again in the fall. A few plan to eat here more often. read more

Uptown Grille has one undeniable claim to fame: those Firecracker wings. Order them well done and dry, and prepare for your standards to be permanently raised. They're perfectly crisp on the outside, tender inside, and tossed in a sauce that walks the line between sweet, spicy, and smoky like it was engineered for flavor fanatics. But here's the twist--the Mediterranean nachos with pulled pork might just be the best-kept secret on the menu. Think salty, creamy, crunchy, and savory all stacked into one outrageous dish, with tender pork bringing it all home. It's a wild card combo that absolutely delivers. Add in the shrimp, which hits with surprisingly bold flavor and texture, and you've got a trio of heavy hitters. Yes, the rest of the menu can be inconsistent at times--but when Uptown gets it right, it gets it right. Pair those bites with a strong cocktail and the laid-back, slightly nostalgic vibe, and it's easy to see why this place keeps pulling me back. Service? Solid. I'll always miss the OG crew from 2016--those were golden years--but hey, we all grow up. Luckily, the wings never did. And that's a good thing. Gina is amazing. If you ever get her key word if. She redefines the word waitress and sets an unparalleled standard. read more

It was my first time at the Uptown Grille. It was recommended by friend so I thought I'd give it a try. We ordered nachos and I'm not exaggerating, the plate was huge, and the nachos were piled high. That thing fed 3 people and it was delicious! You have your choice of meat. We chose 1/2 beef and 1/2 chicken, which didn't seem to be a problem with the waitress. She was great, btw, even surprising us with refills on our drinks. All in all, it was a great experience. Looking forward to sampling the rest of the menu. read more

My friend and i came in last night and it was my first trip here. Wow is all i can say!

Turning the corner and seeing that dance floor was the highlight. Thank you staff for a really amazing night out read more

Uptown Grill is good classic bar food. The burgers are always a little over cooked but are tasty. The tacos are decent. The service is attentive in the way of a good bar. There are plenty of tables, and out door area, and a lively bar. The table area is quieter, quiet enough to talk but loud enough to feel lively. read more

Came on a "specials" night they offer $10 burger with a purchase of two drinks on the menu It does not tell you that the drinks have to be alcohol after purchasing and getting my bill for the night the waiter comes out to me and says the manager is going to obey by the deal but next time you have to come in and buy alcohol. I thought that was very, very strange as I don't drink alcohol, nor does my wife so they're pretty much pressuring us to drink or she said you could buy two pops which doesn't make sense cause the pops have refills on them dumb place won't be back super loud the burger char was disgusting all around dirty place... read more

Update: Late night food also taste superb fresh and quick. But they only have nachos and pizza after 11 to 2 am. Adding burger and sandwich on late night menu would be a great upgrade. Update: Revisited again today and it was a decent experience. Kids loved their hamburger with cheese while I enjoyed the chicken Cesar salad wrap. They have great items on desert menu and chocolate lava cake was good. Great service, environment is enjoyable however food seems excessive calories and fat. Tired their shrimp was tasty jumbo shrimp but I felt like eating 2000 calorie read more

I've been working in this area and asked someone what restaurants were good there. She mentioned a few I would never go to, but also said Uptown Grill was amazing. So, I've found since they don't take online orders on Saturday or Sunday, because I guess they're too busy (and I normally won't order unless I can do it online - and that it's a good website where you can customize your order). Wish I'd taken a photo of the turkey club I got, but I was too hungry. It was expensive, but So good (and so much food I had it for lunch and dinner). Would 100% order from them again. If I can order online. So probably only on Fridays. Would have ordered again this weekend, but no online ordering. So they must be too busy on weekends to do online ordering. read more

Uptown Grille has been a place I frequent often when home the atmosphere and the food are always A1 this trip was no different, went during a busy Saturday night (lions where playing) unable to get a seat at the bar however they had the patio open. All of the food came out hot and fresh and delicious! They never disappoint with the portion sizes of everything they note shareable items but truthfully everything is shareable as the portion sizes are huge and you definitely getting what you pay for. Not pictures is the truffle Mac and tenderloins which was so good! And huge had to take most of it home with us. The service was great our waiter Chris continued to come back and check on us and let us know the bar was busy and so our drinks would be slow that was truly appreciated. As for the atmosphere it is a great place to watch the game, get some music(live, dj or simply pandora) we were lucky we got live music and a DJ in one night. It is definitely loud on big game days but a nice chill place to go and watch the game or simply get some Great food and some good drinks. read more

The food here was lovely. I came for an event that was held in their private room. It was a very crowded night, but our food was very timely. The portion sizes are large, so much so that most of the people at my table cut their meals in half and took them home. I have to say that the turkey burger was cooked to perfection. No one here has to ask you how done do you want it or any of that. It is absolutely wonderful. I'm sure that I'll go back. read more
