    Firecracker Shrimp
    Tiffany Z.

    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.

    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.

    Nachos. Amazing.

    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.

    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.

    Turkey burger with asparagus
    Lai H.

    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!

    Peanut Butter Explosion. Yum.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Good, fast, reliable place for brunch and casual food. Always really great service here. They have THE best breakfast potatoes not sure what kind of seasoning it is, but I love them. Also, Sundays they have $3 bloody Mary's which in today's drink pricing is basically free!!

    espresso martini and dirty martini
    Jessica W.

    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.

The…read moremenu for this restaurant falls along the lines of an expanded bar/Bistro menu with a heavy emphasis on sandwiches, wraps and burgers. Having heard good things about their Burgers I opted to go with their Classic Cheeseburger and fries for $15 and two of their house margarita's which were the drink of the day on Tuesdays for $5 apiece. Realtive to the burger, it was quite large at 1/2 lb and definately a two hander. It was well made, quite juicy, with fresh veggies and very very tasty. The fries were well made as well with a nice crunchy texture and quite tasty in their own right. Lastly my two Margarita's very well made and oh so good where I had only planned on getting one but opted for two after the first sip. NICE! At $5 a piece this was an absolute steal! Relative to facility and staff, the restaurant is visually very appealing with vibrant Irish accents, neon sign's everywhere and TV's scattered to allow you to watch the big game of the day while enjoying your meal. The decor defiantely adds a lot to the dining experience. Staff was very friendly with great follow up throughout. Overall this is a great bar/restaurant whose reputation is well deserved. I definately will be returning in the near future, probably on a Tuesday, so I can get some more of those tasty margarita's. :)

I usually get the burger with blue cheese crumbles, Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese and sautéed mushrooms and onions medium well, not pink or very little pink. The place is small for the crowd it draws so don't expect it to be quiet cuz it never is. That's my only gripe is it's butts to elbows but other than that the space is a typical bar and the food is on the moderate scale for bar food but for sure worth what you're paying. The service is standard just make sure to ask for all the sides at once instead of sending the wait staff back for extra ranch or ketchup, etc. it can take a long time. But if you're looking for a good local watering hole with bomb digity food, this is the place to go.

It is obvious that there has been an owner change, I'm told an attorney now owns it. The Mug burger was $8.75 for years, then about a year ago it went to $9.25. Now in the last week the cost is $11.00. Not a great deal anymore. Today will be the last time I go to the Copper Mug and let me explain. Normally, the Mug is packed for the lunch special between 11am and 2pm, but not today. I ordered the Mug burger special was always, I stressed I wanted it medium rare. Because there was vertually no one in the place my order was next, so my normal wait time of 30 to 45 minutes should be unnecessary. I ended up waiting about 20 minutes and the cook brought my order over, I thanked her and asked if it was medium rare to which she replied yes. To my astonishment, the burger was well done and the fries were ice cold! Not what I was expecting at all. When I got my bill, I explained the issue to provide feedback for the establishment. My server then picked up the tab and apologized for my experience. Just as I am getting ready to leave, my server approached me and explained that whenever there's a complaint they needed to call the owner. The owner instructed that I needed to pay them the old price of $9.25. I was floored! I paid, and explained that I nor any other people that I recommended to Copper Mug to over the years will ever set foot here again. I hope the owner is a better attorney than he is being a pub owner! Goodbye forever.

So, we asked Maddy our waitress for some patience .. and she was stellar. She gave recommendations, was knowledgeable on the menu, and had a great attitude overall. We ordered several different things to share with each other... For appetizers, we had potstickers, calamari, and some crab cakes. The potstickers were crisped up well, but tasted pretty standard. The crab cakes were thick, meaty, and tasted good. I like mine a bit more crisped and crunchy, but everyone has their style. They were good. Lastly, what really did it for me, was the calamari. Capers, lemon, seafood..... it was cooked perfectly. It did not have the rubbery bite like most places. It was hot, and still had a good bite to it. One of the best calamari apps, i have probably ever had. Entrees... I had the firecracker chicken pasta and a wedge salad. The wedge was... interesting. It came out with the standard lettuce wedge, but all of the toppings were on the side. Slices of onion and tomato, two full pieces of bacon, and an egg. I am typically accustomed to having everything chopped and on the salad.. so i had to cut everything up at the table. It wasnt bad, just odd. BOOM! FIRECRACKER Chicken Pasta. Dried cherries, sun dried tomatoes, asparagus, spicy pasta sauce.... man.... this was delicious. It was actually so good, I contemplated on getting one to go for my fiancé to eat. This was a home run entree. Compliments to whomever had the idea. Desserts Of course, nothing wraps up a bro dinner like sharing a few desserts... We had the tiramisu and the churro cake. The tiramisu was cold, coffee, creamy, delicious. The churro cake was a perfect contrast in warm cinnamon, savory, sponge.... they were both great options. Maddy did an excellent job. The kitchen did an amazing job. It was a great experience for this out of towner.

I arrived early to sample their Happy Hour where I got a Tommy Margarita which was one of four cocktail choices on the Happy Hour menu where the other choices are an Old Fashion, Lemon Drop Martini and a Black Manhattan. All of which I personally am a fan of. Relative to my Margarita, it was very well made with 2 full ounces of Blanco Tequila as the base and quite tasty. Definately a drink with a kick and not a watered down version you get at most other bars in the area. At $8 it's a pretty good deal in my opinion especially for a drink of this quality. Relative to Dinner my wife got the White Fish dinner and I got the Milanese Chicken. Both dishes were excellent where they were cooked to perfection and were delicious. Prices on the menu were a tad high in my opinion but the old adage that you get what you pay for applies here and is definately worth the cost in my opinion. Appetizer was the Calamari which was well made and quite tasty in its own right. Relative to staff and facility, the facility is very classy with a nice contemporary flair to it, Definately an upscale feel to it where both the bar and the dining area offer an elevated dining/drinking experience. Staff was super friendly with great follow up where the bar can be a tad slower as only one bartender was working while I was there but he did a fairly good job of keeping up with the orders and high marks for his efficiency. Overall a great classy restaurant with a nice Happy Hour makes this a destination restaurant worth the trip if you live outside this area. For discerning customers who prize Quality in what they eat and drink this is a business not to be missed!
