    The Boatyard Grill is an excellent place to have lunch or dinner. We enjoyed the service as well as the food. The wait staff is very helpful and very prompt and taking care of you. The Ambiance is wonderful and the food is prepared awesome. I would recommend the Boatyard Grill if you're in the area and don't forget their Detroit style pizza is some of the best and the Wayne Macomb and Oakland counties. It does have their own twist to it and the crust is amazing.

    No frills. Dimly lit. The chili was good the pizza was ok. I had round, my lunch partner had square-looked awesome. Moderately priced. Seems to have a regular crowd.

    After coming here a few times and trying a few different menu items, it's getting better. The pizza is great along with breadsticks. The anti pasta salad is very good and hearty. Also tried the ahi tuna which I've hesitated with in the past.....but to my surprise it was very good. On par with Crews Inn. Yum. As for ambience it's a little weird as the bar splits the restaurant in two parts. You definitely get the feel that this is a local hangout. One of the downers is the lack of craft beer selections, but they do have 3-5 decent ones on tap/can. If you're I. The area, definitely worth a stop simply for the pizza alone, then you can venture off from there.

    Just got a carry out from here.!! Never Again! First I called and was told I couldn't apply the 2/20 Tuesday dinner special to a carry out . Never had this problem and always carried out pizza ! My husband picks up the order and they don't give us 2 salads and the soup .. who wants to go back and come home to cold food ? The food is disgusting... the red skins look like they were left over from someone else's plate .. seriously ! I am going to attach a photo of untouched food !! Unacceptable!! I have NEVER wrote a bad review about a restaurant until now! Take your $$ elsewhere !

Then it's topped with hot ground beef, onions, black olives, green pepper, jalapenos with sour cream and salsa on the side. I think there's some refried beans in there too. This lovely creation rests on a sheet of aluminum foil, so you know it's gonna be good. I'm a sucker for good old sloppy bar food and Motor Cafe fires on all cylinders. Love the overly beer-battered chicken fingers, and garlic parm wings. Good hamburgers. Deep fried oreos too. Salads looked HUGE. There's lots of daily specials and a big old 80's Ritz-like bar too. Prices were very reasonable considering the entrenched inflation all over America. Service was great. Very down to earth people. Tip them good. Keep your expectations in check. Inside it's a cavernous warehouse. Seriously, it's huge like echos in the canyon. So big, your crazy kids could swing in the rafters. If your looking for warm and cozy consider Applebees instead. There's a degree of bowling alley seediness, a touch of carnival, and an air of anxious fun. See the fat people in bad t-shirts, smell the bleach-beer, hear the clunk of distant bowling pins. Taste the beef. This is real America. I love it. Bonus: Architectural remnants of the former Mt. Clemens Drive-In decorate the place. I frequented such for over three decades. Last film I saw there was "Casper The Friendly Ghost" (1995).

    TLDR: The River Rat is an overall good experience, but the food ranged from amazing to mediocre…read more The place itself was relatively lively and cozy. The servers were attentive to our needs. The dishes I ate will be rated separately because of their range in quality. Bread Basket: 4/5 The bread basket that came with the prime rib that I ordered was better than most. It came with multiple freshly baked dinner rolls with some char on them and crispy breadsticks, complemented by a garlicky butter. Soup of the Day (Seafood Bisque): 5/5 This soup was the best dish of all that I had ordered. Despite being a side dish for the prime rib, its rich flavor overshadowed everything else I ate for the evening. House Salad: 2.5/5 The salad is a standard salad that you can skip. Nothing special. Louisiana Lemon Pepper Walleye: 4/5 The walleye was the second best dish. It was a well seasoned, large filet that had a great tartar sauce to go with it. This is a dish I would order again if I came back. Prime Rib: 3/5 The prime rib was surprisingly underwhelming. The edges of the prime were a little tougher than I'd like, and the prime rib itself came out a little cold. The au jus could have been reduced to be a little more concentrated as well. Overall, if I were to come back I would choose to order some different menu items, apart from the soup.

The interior and overall atmosphere come across as old, grungy, and worn down, and the space could really benefit from a facelift. This doesn't feel like a place locals would regularly come to hang out for drinks or drink specials. It seems much more like a lunch or dinner stop than a true neighborhood gathering place. With stronger management, more creativity, better promotions, and an updated atmosphere, I think this place could become much more appealing. The food was okay, but nothing especially memorable. Overall, the experience was pretty forgettable. There's definitely potential here, but it needs some attention and a new direction to really stand out.

    Food is alright. Service is very good…read more Ambiance is alright. A small diner. Fairly small parking lot too. The typical Michigan diner menu ftmp. A good number of items, very good prices, senior menu options as well as children's menu options. On this visit both of us opted for the 2 egg breakfast that's served with corned beef hash and toast of our choice. We both went with the raisin toast. It was good overall. Nothing Wowed me really. Wait, let me back up. Service here was very good. Sweet, fun servers, prompt answering questions, bringing drink refills, sample of the soup -yep, she did that. We ordered breakfast, the same thing for that matter. Our entrees arrived shortly after we ordered and they looked good. I was a it saddened to see my corned beef hash a wee bit browner that I would prefer but that's my fault for not specifying how I like it cooked. One thing I especially like is the raisin bread toast option. This seems to be a thing in Michigan, and I LOVE IT! We paid cash and asked for change for a large bill and server was able to accommodate that request easily. So overall we had a good experience here. I will say this is a small diner and the parking lot is similar. Customers appear to be regulars, or else the staff just treats everyone like they know them. They certainly do a good job of welcoming their customers.
