I don't even know where to begin! We came in to celebrate moving to the area, and from beginning to end we had the best experience. It's not always easy dining with toddlers, but our server was amazing. We had chicken fingers, a Caesar salad, and the scallops. I would order any of these meals again. So glad to have such a fantastic local spot! read more

Decent spot for dinner in town! My husband got the pot roast entree while I got the Cajun fettuccine. Service was fast and friendly. The ambiance is slightly more upscale than casual and family-friendly. A nice spot for dinner while roaming downtown Brighton! read more

I went to the grill in Brighton to meet up with a friend. Period. It took me a minute to find the location, however, it sits right on the corner of the main street. It was pretty busy at this time of day, and there was not much parking. But I did locate some parking in the rear of the grill. I went in, and the host took my name and phone number due to the place being busier than usual, within the hour, the host contacted me via a phone text message to let me know that the table was ready. Tge place has a bar and a nice table setup with a romantic vibe. I was quickly seated along with my friend and the waitress, came over quickly. I ordered a drink and a few appetizers which included the satay chicken and the beef tips. The appetizers were filling and a great item to be shared. The beef tips were were tender and the chicken came with a great sauce. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. I will plan on coming back again. read more

Food and menu choice wonderful. Service as usual excellent. The only thing i'm uncomfortable is the black foam storage containers. read more

Haven't been here others say it's a great place to eat great portions and great wait staff

I picked up a friend from the airport. She was not hungry until we were about home. We stopped in and she got food that she liked. The next day we returned with my grandson in tow. Great staff again and my little guy had lunch but the server recommended the kids meal and sundae. He was over the moon and had a snack to share with his brothers for later. I can count on them to provide great food and a comfortable place, no matter what my needs are. read more

Their menu is so random but kinda sounds good and then you end up with shrimp spicy pasta and goat cheese LOL. Their cocktails and drinks are always spot on - the food hit or miss for me read more

What an excellent experience! Loved sitting in the front window, looking out over downtown; great server and delicious lunch! I will definitely be back! We were there for lunch and I chose a sandwich from the lunch combo--per the menu, "Your choice of croissant sandwich paired with a cup of soup or a house side salad for $18." I had the very tasty Smokey Turkey & Aged Cheddar Croissant and a Caesar Salad. The salad was spot on! I had asked our waitress to have the chef leave the basil pesto off the croissant, but that was missed somehow, however, the sandwich was still very good! I can't wait until my next visit! read more

I have dined here alone as well as with large parties. The food and service are wonderful.

i frequent brighton bar and grill for their pan-seared filet tips, and they are by far my absolute favorite of all time. the zip sauce and chipotle aioli are unbeatable. aside from the filet tips, the louisiana cajun fettuccini is to die for. rich, bold, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. i stop in for lunch over the summer and usually order my favorite combo: the caesar salad and tomato tarragon soup. but one day i stepped out of my comfort zone and tried their take on a reuben, the georgia reuben, and i was absolutely blown away. it was so, so yummy and paired perfectly with the black pepper kettle chips. i truly love brighton bar and grill. the staff and servers are always attentive, kind, and hardworking, and the environment is warm and welcoming, with every corner clean and sparkling. there isn't a bad seat in the house. read more

Great menu and food! Excellent presentation and the staff are very helpful and exceptional service quality. Good place to have a family dinner or date and we've had a hoot with our friends there. Go support a great local place. read more

We were there on a Tuesday about 1:45 pm and the restaurant was fairly busy. The staff was very attentive. We enjoyed the decor our room had The Tamara Lapinka 1920's style mural. I enjoyed our meal. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Brighton. It's one of the best places in the area for American cuisine. The food is great and the restaurant is clean and attractive. I've ordered takeout by phone and it takes 20 minutes to pick up from the bar. I've tried the Blackened Salmon Salad, Cubano Sandwich, Slow Roasted Pot Roasted Open Face, the Salmon BLT, and the Wrap of Khan. They are all delicious. The meat and fish are always well-seasoned and tender. Even the sauces and dressings taste homemade and unique compared to other restaurants. I look forward to trying the dinner menu someday. read more

This is fine dining, white table cloths and all but not cheap. Service was great, drinks were filled often, great food. The 5 of us had the Thai chicken and filet tips for an appetizers, very good. Maurice and blueberry salads, clam chowder soup, steak, pot roast, we'd all order these again. The Cajun fettuccini and days special weren't a hit. We'd definitely go again. You MUST make a reservation, people were waiting out the door. read more

An update to my review: I've been here multiple times now for company dinners and every time the food and environment is great! I have really enjoyed all of the dishes there so far, except today I didn't exactly enjoy the Mac &cheese. I found it to be a little bland or too liquidy for my personal preference. I added jalapeños to mine to spice it up. My friend enjoyed her Brie sandwich though and I've usually like ordering the salmon! The pan seared filet tips are delicious and one of my favorite appetizers. The service is always nice and prompt too. Especially for a large group event! read more

I recently hosted a birthday dinner for 25 in the private function room at the Brighton Bar and Grill. We had a wide age range, 1-90, with "interesting" dietary concerns. All present gave them very high marks in all areas. The food was delicious and was served pretty much simultaneously... a hard job for 25 diners. The space is attractive and nicely proportioned for, say, 20-30 guests. The service was excellent, provided by the very professional and accommodating Jennifer, assisted by the gracious Margaret. Pricing was appropriate for the menu and, most importantly, the Birthday Girl was thrilled with her evening. Thanks to all... read more

Came in tonight with three couples. Our service and food were top-notch. What made it above and beyond was the staff letting us stay and visit until closing time. It is one of our favorites for a reason! read more

My wife and I ate at Brighton Bar and Grill for dinner this last weekend, on a busy night in town with the Kentucky Derby. I'll start with the negative - reservations are almost required here, yet they don't mean much other than you will have a table at some point - we had to wait 30 minutes for a table so our 7pm reservation turned into sitting at 730, putting our entire dinner in a massive time crunch which did sour the experience. Considering its size, I think BB&G should institute a maximum time limit per table and hold customers to it to ensure they're meeting reservations and keeping everyone happy. Beyond that, everything was fantastic. Our server, Jen, did an amazing job considering our time crunch and got everything to us quickly and was incredibly attentive. The food was OUTSTANDING, some of the best if not the best in Brighton. My wife had Walleye and I had scallops, both were well done, seasoned beautifully, and great portions for the cost. The bar also was amazing, drinks were good and they even made us carajillos, a drink we found on vacation recently. BB&G had the right liquor, so we decided to ask if they could make it even though it's not on menu and not a popular drink here, and they hit it out of the park!! Will definitely be back, but hoping for a better experience next time with seating so we don't feel as rushed. A 1.5 hour limit per table could potentially solve the issue and keep things moving - we were far from the only group forced to wait for our reservation. read more

Service was good and the staff were friendly. Drinks were alright. Lighting and mood was great. Food was hit or miss, mostly miss. The filet was trimmed badly and had about a 2 inch strip of gristle, which shouldn't be a thing on a filet at all. On top of that, nothing was salted enough. I had to add salt to both meals just to get basic flavor. The steak Benedict had way too much going on. The bacon was insanely overpowering and completely drowned out the steak and even the hollandaise. I'm not sure what was up with the bacon, but it was aggressively strong. Same issue on my burger, the bacon took over everything. Produce wasn't great either. Tomatoes tasted like water, and the green onions on the Benedict didn't taste very fresh. Not the end of the world, but noticeable on both plates. Potato cakes were good. We were also brought bread after our calamari came out, which was backwards. One thing that really stood out was I specifically asked if they carried Labatt. And I was told they don't carry it at all, even though it was listed on the drink menu. Overall, good service, but the food and some basic execution stuff made it disappointing. Probably won't go back. read more

AWESOME ! Service over and above what might normally be expected! On April 20 while visiting daughter and grandkids in Brighton, my husband and I wanted to take everyone (daughter, boyfriend, grandson, grandson's girlfriend, granddaughter) out for a nice dinner. We were a little hesitant about finding a restaurant as grandson just started going through the process of determining food sensitivities. My daughter called ahead to check about gluten-free options on the menu as the list of what he can and cannot eat is very limiting at this time and he is still figuring things out which can be rough for a high school senior. We were seated promptly in the front window area and Shannon S. was our server. Now I don't know if Shannon was told to expect us, but she hit the ball out of the proverbial park. Not only did she suggest side options for grandson, but when questions about ingredients were asked that she couldn't answer she went to the kitchen to presumably ask chef--but she came back to the table with answers AND a binder containing all the ingredients for each menu item (no, sorry that has garlic as a seasoning; no sorry that has a sauce with onions; no sorry that has cheese). In the end, grandson was able to choose with confidence side dishes in place of the standard menu options so that his meal wouldn't mess with his digestive system--he became more of an active participant in deciding his dinner--and that his meal was one he really, really, really enjoyed. He was surprised that a restaurant would go to those lengths to help a customer. Brighton Bar and Grill was a favorite spot when husband and I lived in Howell years ago and will definitely come back to the high service and quality food we experienced on this visit. read more

While I was advised our experience would be ho-hum, that wasn't my experience. While I would have appreciated a quieter environment to have a conversation with the friends I dined with, I did enjoy my food. I had a winter white cosmo to start, and that was quite yummy. I followed that with a Caesar salad that wasn't drowning in dressing and loved my filet mignon, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Our waitress was attentive without being annoying. I enjoyed my meal sufficiently that I would be happy to go back. All 4 of us in my party enjoyed our meals and said we'd enjoy going back sometime in the future. The downtown area was really hopping last night--I'd love to go back to check some of the shops out down there as well. read more

we have been coming here for years and this past weekend the food was just ok. We were celebrating Easter with our family and had a party of 9 which is not inexpensive. The potatoes they serve with their ribeye were horrible, no flavor and super hard. Some of our other dishes were great and a couple of others were ok, my husband and I are bummed because we loved it there. The restaurant is beautiful and our waitress was great but it will be a long time before we return unfortunetly. read more

The food was excellent as well as the service, but the manager (Brook) was way off. Her comment about gay couples was rude and extremely disrespectful and offensive. My friends were with me, 2 of them are gay. We won't be back. She should not be in the service industry with that attitude. read more

My daughter came in with a group of friends before the homecoming dance last night. They had a reservation, and I coached my daughter that whatever she ordered to be sure she included 6% sales tax and a 20% tip. She said that she ended up having to pay 46% extra because they included a 20% "large group charge." The staff or manager should have told these little kids that were all dressed up for their dance and clearly dining out alone at a nice restaurant for the first time that the 20% "large group charge" was the tip. We live downtown Brighton and my husband and I have dined here often. We'll be taking our business elsewhere from now on. read more

I've known about the Brighton Bar and Grill for a long time. Just hadn't stopped in yet until we did for drinks one night on the patio. The service was wonderful. Our server was so friendly and helpful that I knew we would be coming back quickly which we have. Even better was that they had a great NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Unfortunately; they have since stopped carrying it a few weeks back which is very disappointing. They have a decent wine selection. I just haven't found one that I like as well yet. They have a very nice selection of beers. It's hard to find a place where both my husband and I find something we both like. For the food. With allergies it's often difficult to find something. It was a few visits before I decided to try. I went with a Salad and Grilled Chicken. I've had the salmon as well which has also been great. I love that their Mashed Potatoes are garlic free since the Fries are not cooked in a separate fryer than Gluten containing foods. The burger was good and the Mac n Cheese was just ok, according to my husband. If you are interested in dessert. The Creme Brulee and a warm Spanish Coffee are great. I've seen the Carrot Cake served. It looks amazing. Every time I see it I think someone ordered a whole cake. It is that large. I have loved that their patio is still open and that they have heaters. The one thing I want to point out before ending my review concerns the service. There is not a restaurant I have been to in which every visit has had superb service. Everyone is friendly, helpful and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Every visit I'm saddened that I didn't get the server I had before. Yet, every new person always happily surprises me. Great job to the owners. You must be doing a lot of things right! Keep up the great work. read more

Cozy atmosphere. Good food and drinks reasonable prices . Tomatoes Bisque is amazing .Service always great

The food is absolutely delicious except for the pork chops which ended up on the dry side. There were nine of us and the reservation was for seven o'clock. We had quite a wait because the party that ate at the intended table stayed over 3 hours and the restaurant estimated that the dining time for them was more like 2 hours. The restaurant comped is three orders of appetizers to make up for the wait which was nice of them to do so but our wait was almost an hour. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We had for appetizers the roasted garlic- definitely recommend! We also had the spicy shrimp and calamari. The ya-ya gumbo soup was real good. The salmon was grilled to perfection. The walleye fish was lovely and tasty. The filet mignon was cooked nicely. It's obvious that the cook staff pride themselves in serving quality. Everyone that had mashed potatoes liked it very much. Highly recommend going here if in the neighborhood and looking to spend a nice evening out and treating yourselves. read more

My husband and I had wonderful dinner at Brighton Bar & Grill tonight. I had their famous Drunken Salmon dish that has been on their menu for 30 years. It was delicious! My husband and I also tried their Roasted Garlic Platter and it left us both speechless! My husband doesn't like cheese, but he loved the pairing of the garlic and boursin blend cheese. It was amazing. I am going back for my birthday. Next time I will be tryin' one of their steak dishes. read more

My husband and I are here and sat at the bar. It's modern but cozy inside. Visually pleasing. There is music playing, and people talking. There's a TV at the bar, no sound, which was good. We received excellent, friendly service from the time we sat down, until we left. I did not order a drink but he had an old fashioned and seemed to enjoy it. For dinner, I had a cup of tomato tarragon soup. The tarragon was faint but, it was a really good combination. I then had the steak Benedict. It could be a meal for two, honestly. It's hollandaise over a crab cake, over the steak, over spinach, over a potato pancake. It was pretty delicious and they cooked my steak a perfect medium rare. read more

Brighton Bar & Grill - One of two of the steak beneficent you get when you order it. I already ate the first lol. - American Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

Nice interior, tables don't quite match the pleather or background somehow. Tom waited on us. He's nice abs attentive. Ordered roasted garlic platter with ciabatta, large house salad, a Caesar salad with blackened salmon and a Georgia Rueben. The house salad is a decent size, the balsamic dressing was nice. Roasted garlic platter was good, peeling out of the skins was best with the knife to smash it down and the fork to push out the cloves. The Boursin cheese blend, red peppers and garlic was a decent pairing. The blackened salmon Caesar was yummy. The blackened salmon was nicely seasoned. The roasted Turkey Georgia Reuben was pretty good. The roasted Turkey was thinly sliced and had a smokey flavor to it some. The coleslaw is oniony, crunchy and fresh. read more

Great restaurant in the heart of Brighton. Started with a bowl of gumbo. Wasn't New Orleans level but was hearty and enjoyable with some bite. For my entree, had the ribeye. Tender and flavorful. The honey chipotle glaze was really good. Very enjoyable. For dessert, ordered the caramel cheesecake and a carrot cake for the table. Both were top notch. The caramel cheesecake was exceptional and the carrot cake was moist and not overly sweet. Really nice desserts. Service was solid, all of our needs were taken care of. Nice, higher end ambiance and overall a very nice dining experience! read more
