I sat at the bar where Mae very thoughtfully helped me navigate through the extensive been menu. I was very impressed at the selections! She brought me three tasters and, honestly, each of them were fantastic. It seems fitting that I chose a pint of Conflict of Interest in the midst of a difficult decision! The food menu is just as impressive. I'm certain anyone can find a favorite. I ordered the blackened chicken gnocchi and found myself in flavor heaven. I've made and eaten a lot of gnocchi and this is easily the best I've ever had. Mae agreed with me and suggested it's because there's cheese in those potato pillows. I dunno but I would eat this every day if I could. If I thought they'd keep, I'd buy extra and take some home. Meanwhile the bar crowd was friendly and chatty as we watched soccer on a few TVs. It was pretty chill, everyone just kicking back with great beer, tasty food and a worldwide sporting event. That said, I'm not waiting four years to come back!

Sat outside most recently and brought our toddler. She got to run around and explore. The fineapple cider on draft is my favorite and so refreshing. Menu wise has so many options. We went with the beer bites and cheese. The food cane out hot and the cheese is so good with the pretzels. The kids grilled cheese was a big size and tasty. Love the shoestring fries. So impressed with all of their drinks they make in house. Came another time for dinner with a friend to catch up. A large group took over the dining room. Stayed way past they were done with their food and drink. They stayed 5 hours and disrupted the restaurant. Our waitress gave us a small discount for how annoying these people were. She said staff were even over them.

We ordered the "Big F'ing Pretzel" appetizer, and it came with nacho cheese and honey mustard. This was delicious! I ordered a burger that had barbecue sauce and bleu cheese on it. It was good, 7/10. My husband had the clam chowder and rated it 6/10. There were a lot of kids there, so if kids bother you, don't go there.

Alex Royal Grill - Troy, MI This place has been popping up…read morein my feed on Yelp and Google Maps for a while, and I finally decided to check it out--glad I did. Alex Royal Grill is located in a strip mall, but don't let that deter you. Sometimes those are the best hidden gems. Service was a little on the slow side even though it wasn't very busy, but honestly, I may have noticed it more because I walked in very hungry. That said, my waitress was absolutely delightful--super friendly and attentive, and she made the wait much more pleasant. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of sausage patties and eggs. The portion size was solid and definitely filled me up. The gravy was delicious, the eggs cooked perfectly over medium, and the sausage patties were flavorful. They were just a touch more cooked than I personally prefer--but I can't really judge, as I tend to do the exact same thing when I make sausage at home. Overall, this experience was easily a strong 4.5 out of 5, and close enough to five stars that I'm comfortable giving it one. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. If you're in Troy and looking for a down‑to‑earth spot with good food and friendly service, this place is worth checking out.

There aren't many gluten free options for snacks but they did have gluten free crackers for the whitefish dip and their fries were gluten free. Honestly, I wasn't the biggest fan of their fries. They had a strong oil taste and the irregular cuts made it so that they weren't all cooked homogeneously. I did like the nice amount of freshly grated parmesan on top though. I can't remember the name of the cocktail I had but it was named after a city. My husband tried the basque cheesecake and really liked it. I think it wasn't made by the restaurant if I remember correctly. The pizzas that I saw going back looked great and you could watch the guy making them. It would be lovely to have a gluten free crust option :)

We forgot to get on the wait list early but it wasn't too long of a wait. The restaurant is bright and airy which makes it a pleasant atmosphere. They had their Seasonal Summer Menu available so we ordered from that. I got the Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich and hubby got the Chipotle Steak and Queso Hash. We also both got regular coffee. They offer both regular and vanilla flavored creamer for their coffee. I appreciate that because I love vanilla flavoring. The coffee was really good - smooth and flavorful without being bitter. My sandwich was also packed with flavors...their signature Million Dollar Bacon, sausage, egg (any style you want!), Gruyère cheese, hot honey, and greens - all on an English muffin. This was so good! The honey was not too spicy which made it the perfect addition of sweet and heat to the savory sandwich. Hubby really liked his dish as well. This was a complete 180 from our last visit. Don't sleep on this special menu! We also had a great server - her mom works there as well and they made a great team together!

The food was fresh, hot, and beautifully plated -- fluffy pancakes topped with fruit and powdered sugar, a hearty breakfast bowl/hash with perfectly cooked eggs, and a delicious avocado toast situation that hit the spot. The sweet bites we tried were also amazing (light, warm, and not overly greasy). Drinks were great too -- super refreshing and the iced coffee was creamy and indulgent. Service was excellent: friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had that bright brunch vibe that makes you want to stay a while. Highly recommend -- 5 stars!
