Visited on April 11, 2014 - Love the decor and game room area, however.....the service was terrible! We weren't even dining, just having drinks and it was taking up to 25 mins after we placed our drink orders to get them. Not to mention it was 78 degrees in the place last night. I know this because I sought out the thermostat to check the temp. This place has great potential if they would just step their game up. Maybe that was why the place was dead on a Friday night.

Should be SOOOO much better. I have been here a few times and the food is decent, building is nice, and service is ok. There is just NO atmosphere here. They dont do anything really good and dont have any great specials. When you walk in you this place could be so good if someone would just have the "want" to advertise, have some specials, and build an image of the place. Sad to see the potential but it's a big under achiever.

Gross!!! After this visit, We won't be back. Was there a few times and it was so good..... Omg the food was terrible 1 Star is for our sweet server;)

I'll give them a star for their beer selection but otherwise their barely ok food and pathetic service wrecked it. My family and I came in on a Thursday night with reservations. The place was relatively empty when we arrived and got moderately busy while we were there. The place was understaffed. We ordered beverages. Nothing out of the ordinary. It took 10 minutes or more for most orders and the waitress often said the bar was backed up. (I could see it from where I sat....it wasn't due to being crowded. They were just slowwww.) We ordered our dinners and I thought I'd try the Jamaican jerk pork chops listed on the menu and reviewed by a fellow Yelper. The waitress said they don't offer them anymore and will be changing the menu soon. She said it was a shame because they were really good. Um...ok. So I ordered a Boursin stuffed chicken breast. The menu made it sound really tasty. The waitress warned me it would take 25 mins. Apparently their clock was broken because I was served more than an hour later. Yes, an hour. We started inquiring about our order at the 45 minute mark. The waitress apologized and said she would check on it. I appreciated that...UNTIL she said "I told you up front it would take 25 mins for the chicken." Well let me tell you, that was a dumb move. I had her back until that ignorant statement given that we had waited more than an hour. I reminded her of the time and she got snotty. So what about the food itself? The side salad tasted like it had imitation cheese on it but was otherwise ok. The chicken breast was big and came out cooked but lukewarm. Yep, lukewarm. (So much for believing the whole table was just waiting for my entree.) And there was hardly a residue of whatever it was to be stuffed with...couldn't find it anywhere. The sides were hardly above room temp. My husband ordered jambalaya and it tasted like a bowl of gravy made from a salty soup mix. Not impressed at all. Another family member ordered chicken Parmesan and had to wait even longer. (I think they forgot him.) There was a lot of food on his plate but I couldn't speak for the flavor. The combined bill for this less-than-delightful experience was $61 which included 3 beers. I'd like to tell you more, but frankly I already feel like I've wasted too much time in and on this place. Please, save your money. Go elsewhere. If they once knew what they were doing, they forgot. For the record, I still love Mickey Redmond!

To say the service here is terrible is an understatement. I'm not sure I would even call it service. Expect over-priced drinks, mediocre and completely unremarkable food, service that is slow and apathetic. I honestly don't understand why people would go to this place more than once unless they are blood relatives to the owners or employees. The interior itself is appealing, but apart from that I don't have a kind word for anyting relative to this establishment. It's slow, over-priced and within walking distance of probably 12 better places to eat and 15 better places to drink. Each time I pass it I am shocked that it is still in business.
(1)Chad A.
Good burgers, but the service is terrible.

I'm really torn about this place. I had been there before so I brought my family here after the place we really wanted to go didn't have high chairs. Weird, right? Anyway, we walked into this place and it almost looked like it was closed. The only reason we even knew it was open was because we could hear the large party in the back of the restaurant roaring away. I had to walk most of the way in to find it out if they had high chairs, which they do. So, great! We picked a seat and it didn't take long for our waitress and her trainee to come along. Okay, it was weird. I know she was new to the place so we were being patient but the lady who was supposed to be coaching her was not helping her AT ALL. She was just standing there making everyone uncomfortable. All of our drinks tasted like they came out of a dirty soda gun at the bar... which is probably exactly where they came from. Cool. We all ordered our food. The waitress came back 10 minutes after taking our orders to ask my fiance how he wanted his steak medallions cooked.... and then of course when the food got there his was still cooking because of the delay. Then we sat there for 5 more minutes patiently waiting for someone, ANYONE to walk by so we could request silverware. What the heck? Well, okay... so what? I had pizza so I didn't even need it. Plus we have a baby with us so I was arranging his food in a way that he could eat it and I barely even noticed at first. She brought it right away after we asked. So, my daughter liked her fetuccini alfredo with chicken. No complaints. Jeff said it could have used some salt, so he added salt. He liked his steak medallions. I liked my pizza a lot. Me and my fiance didn't care for my son's macaroni and cheese but he ate it without any complaint... so... I guess it was fine. We also ordered fish and chips to go. What really bugged me is that my bill was SIXTY-FIVE DOLLARS. HOLY CRAP. It was good food, but DEFINITELY NOT SIXTY-FIVE DOLLARS GOOD!!!! We could have ALL eaten steak medallions for that kind of money. Jeesh! Then we get home and find out they couldn't be bothered to put any tartar sauce in with the fish and chips. Won't be going back. :)
(1)Robert W.
Weird greeting, dull atmosphere. They were out of 3 of the 4 steaks on their menu! Also, forgot to tell me that until twenty minutes after we sat down. I used to go there for Stockyard Steaks. Disappointing
(1)Jennifer S.
Watched a lions game here with my brothers and my sister. We hung out for 4+ hours. Our server was fantastically patient with us :) Lots of tvs! Great drink specials! And some great seating areas!! There was also a pool table, Foosball table and air hockey!! Great place to hang out and watch a local Detroit sports event!
(5)Tom C.
We had the chicken quesadilla's and the Rueben. Both were very good. Chips were great! Beer was COLD! Service was fine. Really liked the atmosphere. Not sure where all the bad reviews are coming from but our visit was great. We will be back...
(4)Rob C.
Terrible service. Mediocre food. Long wait times for everything. Managers that don't give a shit about their customers. This place has it all.
(1)Joaquin B.
Food was ok. Slow service . Far to many rules for a local sports bar. Leaning pool tables. Would not recommend
(1)Valerie K.
Yikes. This place is so cliche. First, the parking is a little ridiculous. The Broadcast Booth is situated in a huge lot, but all of the close spaces say that Broadcast Booth patrons should park in a city lot or risk being towed. Gee, thanks. When we walked in, signs told us to wait to be seated, but there wasn't anyone around to seat us. You know how you walk into a bar and wonder if you should just sit down or wait? And everyone is looking at you? Yeah. Like that. When we finally did get seated we ordered beer and food. There's a decent beer selection here, particularly Michigan brewed stuff. It took forever to get our drink order, which was literally two bottles of beer. Not sure why that would take as long as it did. The food was, in a word, bad. I had a chicken wrap that tasted like unseasoned chicken and was served on a pita wrap that was so overcooked it was cracking in my hands. Hand cut chips on the side - zero seasoning. I sent my food back after taking two bites. Yes - that bad. My boyfriend ordered a bbq steak burger that was dripping in bbq sauce. And the meat was dry. Again: bad. To make matters worse, our waitress had to know how unhappy we were - but still charged us for the food I sent back, which was BARELY touched. Almost all of the people here were late 40s - 50's who seemed to be trying to relive their youth as they drank their beers and were obnoxiously loud. You know: THAT crowd. About half way through our meal Motown music was being blasted throughout the bar. Swell...so much for talking to my date. We couldn't wait to leave but wait - TBB had a nice parting gift: a fresh helping of vomit right next to our car. Awesome. We couldn't get out of here fast enough. Save your money, your time and your dignity and skip The Broadcast Booth.
(1)Lenny R.
The owner was a rude pompous asshole. Enjoying myself till he made it Clear he didn't care what the crowd liked on tv. Tigers were on but he likes hockey and it wasn't even the wings. He popped off and was an asshole about it. His business will die because It's nothing but old folks. Becoming a wrinkle ranch and he don't Care because he likes what he likes. Il never go back That owner is an asshole and tries to be a pudgy bad ass. Short mans syndrome!
(1)Mike S.
Worst place ever! Agree with previous yelper on saying the owner is a asshole that doesnt care about customer service just his ego...Napoleon complex im thinking
(1)W. John R.
I love to play pool and watch sports, and this place is the spot to do so. The food is great (try the pizza!) and the atmosphere is fun. Service is mediocre; don't come here expecting prompt assistance or frequent drink refills. The air hockey table can be clangy but supremely fun.
(3)Chris G.
I came here because my desired restaurant across the street was too busy. That said, it was not a total disappointment. I love sports and this place embraces the sports fan, specifically hockey fans. Sure enough the various monitors had hockey playing, with the game blaring loud throughout the place. The decor is VERY 'sports bar' with various hockey pennants, and pictures, oddly, not all Red Wings. BTW, if you like to play pool, this place also has a few billiards tables. Personally, I like to drink beer, and this place also has enough choices, nothing out of the blue, but enough, including some local brews. As for food, typical, 70% deep friend, and greasy. Several families here to enjoy pizza and drink beer. From what I could see, pizza is a popular item here with families and groups, especially if you want to let the kids run around and go crazy. The kids all seemed happy, did I mention they also have a variety of video games? I told my waitress that I wanted something healthy (insert laugh) and not greasy (insert laugh again), but she offered something that was actually very good, and fairly healthy, the boursin stuffed chicken. Relative to other sport bards, this place was OK. If you like hockey, this is your home away from the rink.
(3)Maggie W.
I went here with my two sisters, my brother-in-law, my baby nephew, and of course the woman of the day, my mama on Mother's Day. My mom pick the place... Not me. The place is okay. I would never actually go out of my way to go to this place. I tried their spinach artichoke dip. It was a little bit too watery for my tastes. I did have a salad there and it was pretty good. However, nothing sort of stuck out. I've only come here on an early Sunday afternoon. It's a sports bar. So... That's probably not the best time to come, however what can I say. My mom likes the joint. She seemed very happy with her caprice salad and chicken potpie. My two sisters enjoyed the mozzarella cheese sticks. My baby nephew enjoyed looking around the place. Overall the family had a good time... I just don't think the food is absolutely amazing.
(3)Stephen N.
We are local and this place makes our Top 5. If you live here, there's no number 6. Broadcast Booth should be growing in popularity as a very nice non-franchise sports bar. It's a bit sad to see low reviews. I reserve 5 stars for the very fabulous and it would take quite a bit for a "sports bar" to hit that HOWEVER..... OK. OK. Everyone has their favorite type of pizza. The chef here has come up with several AMAZING and UNIQUE pizza combinations. I think the BBQ chicken is probably the most popular. The dough is fresh and incredible. Very rich. Two pieces max for sure but certainly order the largest size because you WILL want to take it home and share. The sandwiches are pretty decent and predictably classicly done up so there shouldn't be any issues there. So it's lent and we went there the other night for the Fish and Chips. Outstanding! (for cod...) Not greasy. Quite 'meaty' and perfectly done up. They have a very nice assortment of tap brews and my wife's cranberry/vodka came in a 12 ounce glass (!!!!!). Not bad. The wait staff has always, for the dozen or so times we've been there, been very professional, kind, and attentive. I would suggest if something arrives at your table at your displeasure, don't hesitate to say anything and have them change it.

Broadcast Booth is a one stop shop for dinner, karaoke (on Saturdays), busy bar where you can meet people, watch sports, and play pool. It's hard to beat a cool establishment like that. I will say, some of the restaurant menu items are so-so, but the calamari and pizza are crazy good. It seems weird that a sports bar would have good calamari, or that I would even try the calamari at a sports bar, but I did, and I'm glad I did. As for the entertainment aspect of BB, I love that they have real pool tables, not the small, poorly kept pool tables that are often found in the hole in the wall bars. There's nothing wrong with that, but I love pool, and my competitive spirit needs the "real" pool tables so I feel my victories are justified. It's definitely a go-to spot when it comes to picking a bar where a whole group of us can visit and have fun.

The Captain controls the puck down center ice, he splits the defenders, he's all alone on the goalie, he shoots, HE SCORES!!!! Just like the Captain, so does this restaurant score. As I sit here in my Captains Red Wings jersey I thought I would finally write this review. I had two hours to kill before a meeting so I decided to finally check out this sports bar. I was glad I did. I agree with Kevin S., this is a cream of the crop sports bar. I love the layout and all of the jerseys and Stanley Cup banners hanging up. Aside from the usual appetizers in a sports bar they have a couple fresh choices like the Steak Bites, Fried Cheese Ravioli, Calamari, Spinach and Artichoke dip. Good selection of salads and oh so many choices for a good burger. I ordered the Steak Bites. These are fantastic tiny little morsels of red meat goodness. They are prime filet, pan seared and sauteed with mushrooms. This was plenty for a meal for one, of course I didn't stop there. I had the Mushroom Swiss Steak Burger. Half pound of juicy all American Angus meat chargrilled to perfection with a side of fries upgrade. This burger was outstanding. Prepared perfectly as I requested. Great taste, very filling(doggy bag time). I added a couple of good ol' Canadian brew and this was a fantastic meal. These are a few of my favorite things, great food, great service, great time. OK, so I fell asleep in my meeting afterward, but at least I didn't snore(out loud anyway). This looks like it will be my go to sports bar.
(5)Lisa W.
Service was very good, ordered the medditerean pizza, it wasn't bad but it also wasn't that good, the menu was all over the place they have gumbo and chicken Marsala , to pizza, ribs and pasta dishes. I was watching some of the food coming from the kitchen and I gotta say it reminded me bit like hospital food. Cant say it might of tasted better then it looked. The place wasn't very busy for a Saturday night. Maybe revamping the menu would be a good idea with better fresh options. If this restaurant had a feature food that was very good, maybe that would help.
(3)Evan S.
I would give 0 stars if I could, who ever owns this place has no concept of running a successful restaurant, service is extremely slow and the place does not have any specials, overpriced, half assed food, don't waste your time or money
(1)Mary Y.
So it's a sports bar. A HUGE sportsbar. It didn't smell like the inside of an ashtray, it was clean, the service friendly, and the food a little higher par than what you would get at a neighborhood watering hole. I gnawed on an angus burger, and some of their homemade chips, which were actually good. Again, nothing out of the ordinary, but I enjoyed that it wasn't blaring with loud sporting events, and smelly old swisher sweets. My nephews loved their homemade mac and cheese, though they did say it wasn't as good as mine. I paid them for that one. Good place to go downriver if you are in the area. Stop by Mickey Redmond Travel while you are there, right next door, if you are a Wings fan, at least that's what my companions told me. They are.
(3)Mike H.
The menu is deceptive at best, blatant false advertising at worst. First of all the high-and-tight sporting, overweight owner and his wife both tried to argue that the specials that say "all day, everyday" were happy hour only. When confronted with the menu AND the table ads (that both say "all day, everyday") they tried to argue that the 14oz beer I ordered was actually 16oz and therefore nor eligible for the "special". The difference was $1.25... Per beer! This is all hidden until you pay. The old kansas city shuffle. This guy's a snake. I'd avoid this place unless you like to be cheated.
(1)Erika B.
As others have stated, expect to wait for service here. But on the upside, the food is excellent! To get you started, the chicken bites are great choice and you get so many you really could order them for your meal. For the main course their burgers and pizza the one of the best tasting I have had by far! The herb chicken stuffed with cheese and roasted red peppers and Jamaican jerk pork chops are also stellar. For your side you absolutely have to try their Mac and cheese made with cavatappi noodles and Gouda cheese then topped with breadcrumbs and baked until gooey and golden brown. Finally, to end the meal off right order the triple chocolate cake. You get a massive slice of chocolate cake with layers of chocolate frosting and topped with a thick slab of chocolate ganache! Yum! Coors is always on tap for $2 drafts and the air hockey table is pretty fun too!

I visited Broadcast Booth this past weekend. I have been to this restaurant many times in the past and the food was good. The serive was never great but the food made up for it in the past. This particular time, I have to say it was the worst food and service we have ever received. The restaurant was not busy so that could not have been the reason. We ordered a spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer. It came with our meal instead of as an appetizer. Then, the bowl was filed with a yellow oil about 1/4" above the dip. I asked the waitress to get us a new one, she came back with same bowl and said she just drained the oil out. Sounds delicious doesn't it? I understand a spinach artichoke dip will be somewhat greasy but this was disgusting. Neither of us ate it. Same went for the chicken quesadillas I ordered. The tortilla was dripping with grease on both sides. It was not crispy whosoever because it was dripping in grease. I took one bite and pushed it to the side of the table so the waitress could see I ate nothing. She forgot several items we asked for during our visit. She came to the table once to give us what we requested at the end of our visit and then took over 10 minutes to get our bill. I am from Allen Park and currently live in Dearborn Heights. I am proud to support my hometown local businesses. The service and especially the food was horrible. I will most likely never go back to Broadcast Booth which is unfortunate.
(1)Dave G.
Ouch, those 1-star reviews are killing the rating of this place! I agree that sometimes the service is too slow, but they have improved a lot since they opened. The food is very good. They have an excellent portabella sandwich and great little pizzas. The salads are nice and fresh but are a bit expensive for what you get, plus they all have meat on them. My friends also recommend the ribs and boursin chicken.
(4)Natalie M.
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE! I went there with some family for kind of a birthday party for my sister-in-law. The waitress has an attitude off the bat once she saw us sit down. When my sister in law mentioned there would be quite a few of us, it just got worse. The waitress hardly returned to check on us and as people at our table were trying to leave, we could not figure out where she had went. The crazy thing was, we weren't even being rowdy or rude. We asked for a box for some left-over food, it took over a half hour to get one. Then another waitress comes back to see how everything was going and we had to ask her to get our check because we had not seen our original waitress for quite some time. We finally see our waitress again, she is standing with her hands on her hips just staring at our group. I ask nicely if we could please be cashed out, she grabs the card from my husband's hand with ridiculous force, cash's us out and slams the pen, card, and receipt back on the table. She doesn't even say "Thank you" or maybe "have a good night". I'm sorry, but every customer service job has some rough moments, and you just have to fake being nice and deal with it, because with the amount of people that we had, a large tip was definitely possible. The food, on the other hand, was okay. Not ground breaking, but not terrible.
(2)Norm S.
Great place to eat, watch hockey and hang out with friends. The bar games were a lot of fun and the nachos were huge!!! The servers were very nice and quick and the parking was simple enough. I recommend this place to any hockey fan downriver who wants a good lunch or dinner.
(4)Vince N.
I have had Steaks and pizza here. The pizza was average, but the times I have had steak it has been pretty good. I think thier prices are a little on the high side for what you recieve. It is a nice place with lots of Hockey Swag on the walls, and the waitstaff are decent. On my last visit here on a Friday at 7 pm they were out of Bud Light. I have never been to a bar on the beginning of the weekend that has run out of Bud Light. Somebody must of goofed up ordering that week.

This is like the cream of the crop of sports bars. The place is really big. Coming in the back way you pass through a small room with fuzeball and another fuzeish game. Once through this area you pass a large room with ait hockey and a gang of about 10 pool tables. I am not a crazy billards guy but the set-up they have is so nice it makes me wish I was. The main dining area is split in to 2 sections, one is just tables and booths and the other consists of a large boxy U shaped bar and some tables. The decor is mostly old sports stuffs and the furniture is all nice wood grain yet minimalistic. While the TV's aren't huge, they seem pretty abundant and visble from any spot in the establishment. Now that the unimportant stuff is out of the way... the consumtion portion. The beer list is quite small, but it should have something to please just about everyone. I personally love the bar here because they stock Woodford Reserve, and will dish it out on the rocks for 6.50 a glass. You won't find it at alot of bars and definately not at that price. The food here really out shines any sports bar I have ever seen. I have only eaten here once, but I was very pleased with my meal. I ordered the jumbalya which was a generous portion of shrip, chicken, andouille sausage, (my first time having this, I don't see what all the hoopla is about), green & red peppers, and tomato topped off with a nice portion of dirty rice all bathing in a stew-like spicey sauce. Don't think asian spicey though, just slightly spicey. It was such a great treat because I only know of a few places that serve this dish. There version of this dish was not quite as good as Union Streets, but don't let that fool you, this dish is every bit as enjoyable. Having a self proclaimed "bad vegan" in tow, she had quite a hard time finding a selection. She ended up getting a small pizza with no cheese and fresh tomato which she said was very good. It looked better than most pies you see, but I am not going to rate based on looks. Our waiter was attentive, but if I am not mistaken I beleive he was new. We had a few hang ups that weren't big, just puzzling to me. We asked him if we could get our pizza with-out cheese, and he had to go ask... seems a little odd that you would have to ask if you can NOT have something on there. This would lead me to beleive the pizza was pre-made or store bought of some sort. This was not the case though, he also had some cashed out our bills seperate leaving the others on the table to prevent confusion... playing it safe, but unimpressive to me, I have seen bar girls who appeared to not have a lick of brain power manage bigger more complex orders with greater ease. Aside from that though everything about the place is great for a sports bar/dining establishment. The place is everything Champs struggles to be.

I've been looking for a decent bar with a good selection of draft beers and good food. The Broadcast Booth does a pretty good job of fulfilling my criteria. It's a sports bar with a heavy emphasis on hockey memorabilia. I like the fact that it's not decorated with just Red Wing paraphernalia; it has lots of other NHL teams represented in the decor. They also have a few video games, including one of my all-time favorites--bubble hockey. I also like the seat they have from the original Montreal Forum--very cool. HOWEVER, for a place that wants to be a hockey bar, they don't have CBC on their TV package. How can you have a hockey bar and not be able to show Hockey Night in Canada on CBC?!!!!!!! Watching hockey on Versus stinks. I hope this gets corrected soon. I would love to be able to come in on a Saturday night and enjoy HNIC with dinner and a few beers. With regards to the food, I've been here 3 times and haven't been disappointed. Honestly, I forgot what I ordered the first time I came in but it couldn't have been terrible. The second time I had their Cookhouse burger which was very tasty. The burger is seasoned uniquely (not sure what they use) and it has smoked gouda, which I think a cheese that is greatly underused. The fries were hot and crispy. Overall, a very good burger. The last time I ate here, I had the Mediterrranean pizza which normally comes with chicken, feta, mozzarella, provolone and banana peppers. I added cilantro and mushrooms to mine. Wow!! So deliciious. The crust is doughy but crisp on the outside. It was like eating pizza on cheesebread. The toppings are fresh and the chicken was grilled well. I'll definitely try this one again. The beer selection is ok. They have your typical domestic drafts (Budweiser, etc). They also have Molson on tap, which is good enough for me. They could use a little more variety, maybe Goose Island's 312 or some Dos Equis? Overall, I like this place a lot. Although I've lived in the area for a few years now, I don't know it well, so I hadn't found a place where I could just hang out and throw a few back along with some good food. I hope this place sticks around for a while. I'l be coming more often, especially if they get CBC on the TV!!!!

Our first experience was horrible my husband ordered the $14.00 perch dinner and it came out with 4 pieces of fish the equivelent of 4 pieces of SMELT. We actually laughed at the portion because it was smaller than the scoop of mashed potatoes on the side. When we asked to speak to the manager, he came over about 20 minutes later and then decided to ask my husband if he knew what lake perch looked like. (My husband has spent 40 years of summers on Drummond Island, he is an expert on the size of Perch) Wasn't at all concerned that the portion size was a complete joke, could care less that we were not satisfied, just simply threw up his hands and walked away. On the other hand I ordered the Reuben sandwich and was a bit disappointed that my husband wanted half after eating his fish appetizer...I thought the sandwich was very good and the homemade chips were just as pleasant I honestly did not want to share......I have gone back a few times because girlfriends have suggested it for lunch my better half will not go back. I don't know if they have made the fish portion any bigger but I do know that the same idiot is managing the place, that in itself is disturbing.... It has a lovely atmosphere and the staff for the most part has been pleasant.

I've been coming here since this place opened. It's a former 4 star bar and grill that I have just recently downgraded due to some changes to their food quality. At one time I would say everything on the menu was great, now I only go for a few things and I'm scared to try new items because they have had some turnover in the kitchen. They still have some of the best burgers in the city, always juicy and full of favor. At one time they had great pork chops but last time I had them they were thin and tasted like leather. I'm a big fan of the cheese sticks but I noticed last week the marinara has been changed and is not as good. My friend always gets the steak and he's never unhappy with it, I myself have had it a few times and it's not bad but it's not my first choice. I really like their sandwiches all of which are really good. Their soups are hit and miss but they are homemade and when their good they are really good. This place is always very clean and most of the time you will get good service. They have a great selection of drinks and beers and there are enough TV's at the bar to keep you up on all sporting events. The owners are always there working their asses off and they take great pride in their business. This is a sold place and I highly suggest you give it a try for lunch or dinner any night of the week. I think my review is a little harsh because I've had four and even five star meals here but that was before they changed a few things. Overall this is a really good place with great upside. You can come here with the guys or with your family, it's an all around solid place to grab some grub.

This place is terrible. I've been there twice. Sad that a guy like Mikey Redmond is involved with it. I went opening weekend. Thought it was kind of expensive and the drinks were watered down and nasty. We had to pay $5 each to get in but they said there would be $5 off our bills. Then I went back a year later. They told me they didn't have a regular Bloody Mary but something with clam juice. It was once again watery and the clam taste just wouldn't leave me so I couldn't even try to enjoy my dinner. Again very expensive and not a whole lot of portions. Other things on the menu were not the usual ways of making certain dishes. Everything I had was luke warm and microwave tasting. Others in my party said the same thing. I've had a few friends and family members who told me they had the exact kind of experiences there. I don't know how they can stay in business.

I have been here 4 times for dinner every time it has been good. Lots of menu choices. I will return again.

Ok at first the place looks really cool with it's hockey memorabilia and nick knacks from Olympia Stadium. It has a cool sports ambiance. We sat down and ordered our dinners and my significant others plate of fish looked very sparse. A few fillets of perch with a marginal wine sauce without real flavor, a clump of what was supposed to be red skinned mashed potatoes (with no evidence of red skin) and nothing else on a white plate. White, white on white. BLAH.......My salad looked great until I attempted to take my second bite and YIKES a big ass MOTH was flicking his whiskers at me. When I finally got the waitresses attention she gasped nearly as big as I did. I asked for a Ruben in replacement hoping it would not be laden with extra meat as well. I waited over 20 minutes for a return dish and by then my significant other had already eaten his sparse meal and finished his brew. NOT a good dinner together and after all the delay and rudeness from the waitstaff the "manager" only gave us $5.00 off our meal. What a slap in the face!!! I should have just got up and walked out when I found the bug and let them eat the cost of the whole dinner we had received up to finding the bug. I gave them a chance with ordering a sandwich that should not have taken 25 minutes to prepare and they gave us a lousy $5 of the entire ticket. Next time I want to eat bugs I'll go to The Road Kill Grill , and eat FREE !!!

What a joke. Nobody else was waiting for a table when we walked in. Server wanted to put us at a two person hightop crammed next to the bar. I asked for a booth. There were two booths open right next to us and the idiot with no personality refused to seat us there and then walked away! Didn't offer us any other options even though there were empty tables. Are you kidding me? What a horrible way to do business. I live in Allen Park and will NEVER go back and will NEVER say a good word about this place to anyone. I will go out of my way to recommend other places in Allen Park to eat/drink other than this over-rated, unfriendly, unaccomodating place.
