The tv was playing espn 8 the ocho, which allowed me to introduce my wife to Slipper Stairs. The food, was delicious. I tried the bbq chicken Cobb salad for the first time. It was so delicious, such a big serving too, I could not finish it all. Overall it was a really good experience.

Elote Queso with chips was very good. Grilled cheese with the tomato soup was great. The burger was filling. The Vegi quesadilla had good flavors, the chips were either stale or not cooked all the way but still good to munch on. The chicken sandwich was massive and had good spice. Overall good experience and would come here again to try other items.

For a Royal Oak bar, prices are very reasonable for drinks and food. It's a fairly large place and can usually accommodate a group in the early evening, though that might be tougher as the night goes on. I normally just go with my husband and we find spots at the bar. It's a clean enough place with a decent bar food menu and good prices. In RO, that's about the best you can ask for.

I ordered the inferno burger without hesitation. It was as I recall, a nice meat patty, with the bacon, crispy onions, spicy aioli and just wonderful. I hope they will soon add it back to the menu. The draft beers and craft cocktails were tasteful. I literally called my sister and said the burger is back you can go back and try it haha! Until next time Jim Brady!

While they offer outdoor seating, we opted to eat indoors as it was a blazing 92 degrees. The seats at the tables are very comfy. Our server was new but he did a great job. If he hadn't told us, we wouldn't have guessed it. I ordered the Fried Chicken Sliders but without the peaches or jalapeños. They did give me a side of sweet pickle chips though. The sliders comes with a Baja sauce that's fairly spicy so the sweet pickles balanced the heat. I would like to try their S'mores Waffles sometime but more for a dessert. So, I'll be back!

It's an easy place to settle in, whether you're grabbing a drink, meeting friends, or easing into a weekend. I love that they have brunch now, and it's legit. The Dubai pancakes are a must--flavorful, indulgent, and straight-up beautiful. They also know how to properly scramble an egg, which sounds basic until you realize how many places mess that up. We eat with our eyes first, and the food here always looks as good as it tastes. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. Great drinks, great food, great vibes. Definitely a go-to spot in Royal Oak--and one I'm always happy to highlight as @DonnyLB on IG/TikTok. Check me out and check this place out.

Both mine and my ladiy's burger were ordered medium rare; what we received resembled two NHL hockey pucks, only slightly warmer on a sloppy, sogggy bun. UNEDIBLE. Gross. We showed the barkeep and she agreed to have th re-made. Fast forward another 20 minutes and they were over-cooked again. I haven't experienced this here ever before. Something seemed off. Caitlyn, the barkeep took care of our drinks for the inconvenience. Upon leaving, I saw the "cook" outside smoking a cigarette and sipping off a flask. I love this place, but if your kitchen staff can't hold it together, maybe it's time to look at other options. Thanks to Caitlyn for being as accommodating as possible. Next time I'll order something no-brainer, like some tatertots.

It was mostly a younger crowd but there was a few people our age and older. Service was fine and the drinks reasonably priced. It was a little too loud for my liking but I can see why people come up here. It's divey and they serve food, typical bar menu. For downtown Royal Oak the prices can't be beat and they do have a private parking lot which is always a plus.
