    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.

    Called to place an order of cheese BREAD for take out, was told stop by in about 10 minutes…read more Arrived and saw many staff who were all chatting with each other. No directions as to where to go and no one bothered to acknowledge me so I waited at the end of the bar. Bartenders took a couple minutes to come by, when she arrived I explained I was here to pick up my cheese BREAD take out order. Her response was pointing to the hostess stand that was empty. I went and stood at the hostess stand, few minutes of listening to the employees giggle around the corner and a girl walking by ask how many. I advised I was there to get a pickup order so she ducked back around the corner for a moment then walked away. Few more minutes pass and a third employee shows up to ask why I am there. I am announce that I placed a take out order and provided my name. She went looking for a piece of paper and asked what my order was. I stated cheese BREAD, she explained with ALL her teenage attitude while rolling her eyes that she needs to check because it's often wrong ...mmmkay Next she takes my money and heads into the kitchen. She leaves the kitchen moments later with a plastic bag then waits at the bar for change from the bartender for 5 minutes while she is holding my HOT food that was getting cold. Finally I got my 45 cents & cold Mozzarella cheese STICKS. Best part about this experience was leaving their restaurant.

    I wanted to believe this place had turned a corner after being featured on Bar Rescue, but what I…read moreobserved afterward made it clear that whatever changes were made did not stick. Responsible alcohol service did not appear to be a priority. It was common to see visibly intoxicated patrons continue to be served, sometimes to the point where their condition was hard to ignore, and then leave without any meaningful intervention. That alone raises serious concerns about community safety. Operationally, there seemed to be very little oversight. Staff were regularly left to close the bar without an owner or manager present, despite the volume of cash moving through the business. Inventory tracking appeared inconsistent, with many items rung in under vague or generic categories rather than clearly documented. From a customer perspective, it felt chaotic and loosely managed. There also seemed to be a culture of excessive comping of drinks and blurred boundaries between ownership and patrons, which created an unprofessional atmosphere. Instead of structure and accountability, the environment felt improvised. What ultimately changed my perception permanently was how a legitimate health issue was handled. When I was unable to come in due to a serious medical situation and communicated that honestly, the response escalated quickly and aggressively rather than being handled with professionalism. That experience alone made it clear that people are disposable here. If you're looking for a bar that prioritizes responsible service, professionalism, and consistent management standards, I would think carefully before choosing this one. The optics may look improved from television, but the underlying culture did not appear to change.

    Really wanted to like this place. But they were on Bar Rescue for a reason. Even after the show…read moreaired the bartenders were vaping behind the bar while serving.

    I want to love this place, but I can only like it. The food is too hit and miss for me to "not be…read moreable to wait" until my next visit. I'll eat here, but not as often as i would if they polished up their menu/execution. The chicken dishes, all of them, are terrible. They advertise "tender chicken cut into slices," but if you look at any of the pics on here, it's all the same - tiny, little chicken bits, dry and overcooked. The more obscure dishes are the way to go. They fail hard on the basics, but hit home runs on their more unheard of menu items. If you've never heard of something, but it sounds good - that's what you should order here. Chicken lemon rice: 3/10 Not enough chicken, lemon tastes artificial and weird, soup is bland. I've had better CLR at most any coney island. Chicken Gyro: 3/10 Chicken was dry, the orzo was dry and overcooked, tziki sauce was thick and lacked flavor. Plenty of chicken... I would have rather had less chicken, cooked better. I haven't seen their chicken kabob, but it seems like this place uses the thick part of their breast for the kabobs, and uses the scraps bits for all of their other dishes. Grape Leaves: 7/10 Good flavor, good sauce... wish the CLR soup tasted as good as the sauce from the grape leaves. Stifado: 9/10 Excellent dish. Good amount of beef, great flavor, nice stew. This is the dish that I would come back for. Bread basket: Bread: 4/10 - they serve the bread ice cold. Olive oil: 9/10 - excellent flavor, super light, nice lemon zest Service: 8.5/10 - good job. They had one guy for all 8 or so tables, but did he did a good job covering them. The busser/assistant did a good job at keeping our waters and bread full, but he tries to carry too much, and it causes a big distraction (glasses clunking, nearly falling over, re-stacking)... sometimes two trips is better than one... He also says "of course" (pet peeve) when someone says "thank you." Perhaps I'm weird, but I find that terribly dismissive, and off-putting.

    First of all the atmosphere. Simple yet elevated. The food was surperb and if we didn't live so…read morefar I would be eating here once a week. Everything we ate from the salad and its dressing to the mussels and the gyro were both fresh and delicious. The mussels didn't seem to be debearded but they were fresh and delicious.

And there was one server and the host who managed to provide quality service even with 6 tables coming in at the same time.
