Had great service from Jeanine, refills on drinks was timely.Used an Entertainment coupon. In my reviews I try to be specific because I know how much restaurants appreciate the feedback. I had the Trotter steak. It tasted like sirloin that was highly mechanically tenderized. The steak sort of lacked flavor, some spices or rubs may help (McCormick Montreal seasoning?). The cook could also butter the steak and let the butter caramelized slightly before serving to give the steak more of a "zip sauce" flavor. The steak was cooked perfectly to my request. This is rather remarkable because most bar and grills overcook steak. My wife had the tortellini with blacken chicken. She thought it was somewhat mediocre, but she admitted she is not a fan of "blackened" meat. The salads were great with what tasted like home made ranch. Typical commercial ranch is overly thick and tart, it appears the kitchen took the time to make it from scratch. The ambiance of the place is pretty cool with a northern lodge type theme. You can tell the owners spent a lot of money on the place and everything appeared new and very clean.

What a great little find, just north of downtown Clarkston. Their breakfasts are wonderful, as our their sandwiches. With bread and goodies from Zingermans (an Ann Arbor favorite), nothing from this café/deli will be less than spectacular. And they are reasonably priced for what you get - they only charge $1 for a bottle of water. Can't say that of many places!

The place has a great "vibe" ....nice.eclectic feel in the historic bank property.Our server Carrie P was outstanding - her style and enthusiasm were perfect for a casual lunch. Her wine suggestions excellent. Food was fresh and truffle fries excellent. Not usually ordering desert but the beignet were made to order and a wonderful share to finish. Highly recommend.

First timers! Enormous facility with lots of patrons. Decor pays homage to Michigan musicians. Good variety of locally brewed beer as well as variety of menu items. Service was great with a knowledgeable server. We enjoyed our beers and dinner, though the portions were huge.

Just finished having a great breakfast at the Royal Diner, with our best friends. The food was very good, the service was great, she kept the coffee flowing, and the experience was great! Way, way better than the last time we had breakfast there. It didn't even bother me that the cashier was dis-engaged, (somewhere else). Got to say...the Royal Diner did good and earned my business again. Be back soon!

Stopped here on a Sunday afternoon for dinner, as we were heading home. Glad we did! The service was great and the food was exceptional! Very cool atmosphere. And, as we were leaving, there were people lined up outside to be seated. Not something you see too often on a Sunday. The BBQ is decent and the portion sizes are adequate. We would definitely stop by again if we're in town!
