The food, though, lands squarely in the "just okay" category. The calamari came with a honey glaze that made them noticeably sweet. If you enjoy sweet‑leaning seafood dishes, you might love it, but it wasn't my favorite combination. The beer, on the other hand, outshines the food by a mile. I had the Heavenly Hefeweizen, and it was excellent smooth, refreshing, and easily the highlight of the meal. I also had the hot chocolate which was tasty and rich, but it comes topped with a giant marshmallow. It looks great for photos, but once you start drinking it, things get messy fast. Service was fine overall, nothing special, nothing terrible. The host, however, came off a bit rude and had us waiting even though there were plenty of open tables. My guess is they're short‑staffed, which might explain the delay, but the attitude didn't help. The bathroom could also use a more thorough cleaning. All in all, it's a nice spot for drinks and atmosphere, but the food and service have room to grow. If you're here for a good beer and a relaxed vibe, you'll probably enjoy it

Our server was quite efficient and pleasant. A bonus was that the manager/owner (?) came over to check on us and have a brief discussion. I had the fish and chips for lunch. I found it to be filling and tasty. My wife had a salad - no matter the weather, she enjoys a good salad and combo. I should note here that the restaurant is very accommodating to those who are GF and those who have a few other types of food allergies. As a GF, she really appreciates this.

Whenever we are traveling, finding a Hawaiian restaurant for some loco Moco is high on our list…read more We were excited to find Aloha Hawaiian BBQ on a recent trip to Ann Arbor. We stopped in around lunchtime and were greeted right away. You place your order at the counter and then they bring it out to you when it's ready. The restaurant itself is pretty drab. So if you are looking for a nice sit down restaurant, this is not it. They seem to do mostly carry out and food delivery service orders. We both ordered the loco Moco and we always remember after we start eating that we need to share. lol Overall the dish was good. We both felt that the hamburger patties could have been seasoned better and the egg less overcooked. The rice was the perfect level of stickiness and the macaroni salad was really good and perfectly creamy. We both thought the macaroni salad was the best part of the dish. We would eat here again, just share the dish next time.

I've been craving Korean BBQ and I haven't been to KPOT yet. It hit the spot! I was pleasantly…read moresurprised by how modern and clean the restaurant was. I felt like I was in SoCal or something. The bathrooms are also clean and I was surprised that the bathrooms have the green/red "vacant" and "occupied" feature. There a buffet style station in the back that has all the sauces, desserts, fruit, and fried food. There's a cooler with individual ice cream (strawberry, mint, vanilla, chocolate) and wooden spoon palettes. My only complaint is that the grill took so long so our meat took forever to cook. Service was pretty good. If we needed anything, we would ask and it would be provided. We needed a couple grill changes.

KPOT is an exception to my no Asian chain restaurant rule. Usually, Asian chain restaurants have…read morefood that is too Americanized depriving diners of more authentic Asian flavors. KPOT puts the flavor back in along with attentive and friendly service. If you're a first-timer, the server will explain the concept to you as well as the ingredient choices. From that moment on, you're free to create your own Korean BBQ or Chinese hot pot dishes. Among the ingredient choices are various vegetables, mushroom varieties, sauce and broth bases, seafood, noodles, and selection of meats that includes beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. It's the perfect place to go with family or friends and oh yeah, bring your appetite. Check the website for drink specials and pricing.

DropTop is one of those small local spots that surprises you with how well developed and…read morethoughtfully run it is. The burgers are easily the standout!! juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The shakes are AMAZING, and the pizza is different and big size, making it great for sharing. The fries are another win: crispy, well‑seasoned, and addictive. The environment is nice and cozy, which adds to the charm, though I do wish they had more tables. That said, they've optimized the experience by offering a separate pickup door, which makes takeout incredibly smooth and efficient... a smart move for a small business. What really elevates DropTop is the staff. They're super friendly, genuinely welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Their recommendations were spot on, and you can tell they care about the food and the customers. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. The burgers were my favorite, but honestly, everything I tried was solid.

The rest of my family did the BYO pizza options due to gluten and dairy sensitivities and said the crust was the best GF crust they've had, and were stoked to be able to have it Detroit style! We also tried the Motor Oil Wings and they were excellent! Nicely sized wings and a good portion. The sauce was rich and umami just as described on the menu. I loved the dedicated "To Go" area in the alley behind the restaurant, close to the parking lot; not having to go inside the main area to fight through the people (it was crowded the night we ordered), was a big bonus. The staff working the to-go counter was friendly, fast, and helpful. We ordered online and everything was ready exactly at the promised time. We will 100% be back!

The chicken tikka Kati roll was one of the best things I've had the pleasure of getting in my belly recently!! Wow wow wow it was so flavorful, the roll was flaky and warm, and the chicken was tender and juicy. Be warned if you like spicy food, these can get real fire :) The shop itself isn't much in terms of ambiance and definitely feels more like a take out operation but there are some tables and seats if you'd like to eat it fresh right there.

Lamb chops are a separate charge here unlike other Texas de Brazil locations. Unlike the Fogo de…read moreChao in Michigan where they are part of the included buffet price. They removed the lamb picanha!!! There are no current special seasonal dishes either and I was told perhaps not until summer! Spring just started! Alex was our attentive server. Jim the manager answered our questions well. My son and I bought the $70 dining card to receive twelve 1/2 of meals, so we have 24 discounted meals. He and I had water, while my wife had a soft drink for her birthday, though she would have enjoyed one regardless. The bill was just under $100 for us three. I am very disappointed about the lack of lamb picanha. Only having leg of lamb as part of the buffet is disheartening. Hopefully they will bring it back. I was considering getting a third discount card, but without lamb picanha or lamb chops I doubt I will. Of course we will be back as we spent $140 plus delivery fee to have physical discount cards. We saved $87 so the break even point will be our next dining experience here. I ordered the overpriced $13 carrot cake for my wife to enjoy for her birthday as the coupon for joining their website does not combine with the discount cards. This pushed our total spent to about $147 including tip. If you like this place invest in a discount card or two or even three.

Even though I had reservations AND it was lunchtime (not dinnertime) AND the restaurant was nearly…read moreempty, the manager still tried to seat me by the restrooms. Everyone else was seated by the windows. I had to insist on being seated elsewhere. The restaurant is relatively new and still retains its sparkle. The salad bar is at the back, with chill/hot sections. I paid attention to other reviews and zeroed in on the pineapple carpaccio. In addition, I had the hearts of palm, baby asparagus stalks, potato salad, and lobster bisque. Other people had recommended the latter and they were right. I had very little else from the bar to focus on the grilled meats. The parade of meat started very quickly after I was seated. The filet mignon was fantastic. It was well-seasoned and prepared at the right temperature. The picanha (spicy and garlic) was okay. However, I thought the lamb was too gamey (I usually like lamb) and the pork was too dry. I got full quickly so I was glad I did not select the chicken or sausage offerings. Brazilian bread, bananas, mashed potatoes, and fries accompanied the meal. I only requested the bread, which was hot and chewy, and the bananas were swoon-worthy good. Yes, you need to save room for the sugar-and-cinnamon-spiced, pan-fried bananas. My server was polite and responsive. I wish I could forget the inauspicious start to the meal.
