One of my besties & I dropped by Hazel's Seafood for weekend brunch! This was a perfect spot to secure a pocket of happiness with great conversation, great food & great service. Jeff as our server was a delight! He took good care of us. We stuck around long enough that we hated to see him moving on to the room for a party celebration. We even tried to order a second meal but they had to make way for reservations! We will be back! Our food was soooo good! I had the B-Fast Sandy and one pancake. My bestie had the shrimp & grits plus three different flapjacks! The pancakes/flap jacks are huge. This was a perfect location to celebrate Woman's History Month since this is an award winning restaurant, owned by a woman. read more

Sports bar with minimal TV selection. Only on one side of bar. I enjoyed my drinks and then had to bounce to another sport bar for the final four game . Service was attentive and cool ambiance. The crab cakes were great! As recommended as a staple by bar staff. I'd come back and enjoy seafood dinner if I was not trying to watch a game. read more

Dined here for dinner and I enjoyed it! Arrived 30 minutes early for my reservation and was sat immediately. For appetizer, I ordered Conch fritters. They were perfectly fried and very light density wise. The calypso ranch that came with me was yummy. I ordered a lobster roll with garlic fries and it was good! The fries were super duper garlicky, just a tad too much. Our waitress said they change their menu about every 3 months so we made it just in time. Definitely want to come back and try some other menu options! read more

Such an awesome place to check out for great seafood options! We went for lunch and the lobster roll and soft shell crab sandwiches were perfect for what we were craving. It was nice to know they had a brunch option available and happy hours 7days a week! It was a beautiful layout for the restaurant and the service was 5stars throughout the entire meal. read more

I don't know why it took me so long to try this place -- I've been missing out. The entrance is really cool with its ship-themed design, and we were seated right away. It was a late lunch/early dinner, so the restaurant wasn't crowded, but I was surprised by how big it is inside. Our server was great and helped us pick an appetizer, which ended up being amazing. The escargot is a must-have -- the warm, fresh bread, plus the butter and herbs, made it incredible. We started with two drinks: The B.C. (Gray Whale Gin, Lo-Fi Sweet Vermouth, Select Aperitivo) -- very cool that they carry Select, since I almost never see it anywhere. The Oregon (Ketel One Peach & Orange Blossom Vodka, blueberries, Pinot Noir, lime, simple syrup) -- also really good and a unique mix of flavors. We also tried the Lobster Bisque. It had great flavor, but I do wish they offered some crackers or even a piece of bread with it. For entrees, I had the Connecticut-style Lobster Roll served hot with butter, and it was everything I hoped for. The amount of lobster and all that buttery goodness were perfect -- I'd absolutely get it again. We also ordered the Blackened Salmon BLT, and once again they nailed it with the softest ciabatta bread. It doesn't photograph as well as it tastes, but the sandwich did not disappoint. Price-wise, it can be on the higher side, but with quality and flavors like this, it's absolutely worth it. Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

We were in the Troy, MI area for a few days. Hungry for seafood we researched great seafood restaurants within about 30 min of our location. Came upon Hazel's in Birmingham MI, looked at the menu, and read the reviews. Decided to call to see if we could get in this evening. What a beautiful, interesting little town! The entry to the restaurant implied that we were in for a unique and fun treat! Casual, inviting, modern atmosphere inside! Little did we know how hard the choices would be, as every menu entry sounded amazing! We decided, for starters, on soup...hubby had tortilla soup. I had likely the best clam chowder I've ever eaten! The seasonings and the flavorful broth loaded with chopped clams were outstanding! We then shared the wedge salad, which the kitchen split and plated for us for no extra charge. You can see by pic how generous each "half" salad was! Hubby had the catch-of-the day, grouper, which he chose to have blackened on cheesy grits with green beans. I had the fish (fresh blackened cod) tacos. They were small street taco size, made and filled perfectly. I could only eat 2 (hubby was happy to oblige eating the 3rd one). The green beans (instead of fries) were seared and seasoned to perfection! The chef-owner has an expert hand at preparing and seasoning her food. I can't recommend this place, even after only one visit, enough! We definitely will go back next time we're up here near Detroit! EXCELLENT! read more

We went to Hazel's for a birthday dinner. Service was amazing, and the ambiance is super fun for families. Our group had fish and chips, the fried chicken dinner and the salmon. I'm pretty sure everyone who did not order the chicken had fried chicken envy! The fish and chips is standard fare. A solid 4/5. Our waiter surprised two out of three birthday celebrants with a fun ice cream Sunday and a candle, which was a lovely gesture. read more

TLDR: This restaurant offers an alright dining experience, with some highlights and lowlights. The service was commendable, and the atmosphere within the restaurant was lively. For appetizers, I ordered the whitefish paté and 4 oysters, two from the west coast (likely Kumamoto oysters) and 2 from the east coast. I ordered the salmon entreé as the main and a key lime pie for dessert. These dishes varied in their quality, so I will rate them individually below. Whitefish Paté (3/5): To start off, I had the whitefish pate which had come out very quickly. The pate itself paired with the provided saltine crackers were good, but the dish did not stand out in any way. As a result, it was only passable, and I am led to believe there may be other appetizers that are better. Oysters (5/5): The oysters came out afterwards, and they were extremely fresh and delectable. Personally, I am a fan of the more strongly flavored oysters, and the west coast oysters did a great job of satiating my hunger. I would recommend anyone to get the oysters here if they are interested. Salmon Entree (2/5): This was the most disappointing dish of the evening. The first thing that stood out to me was the coloring of the potatoes. One of the potatoes in particular was suspiciously dark, and after eating it, I confirmed that the restaurant had burned the potato. This was not in a charred way that added any flavor either. On top of that, the salmon portion was much smaller than the potatoes combined. I would not get this dish ever again. Key Lime Pie (4/5): The pie was delicious, but the only thing holding it back was the amount of meringue. Had the restaurant reduced the meringue slightly, the dish would have been much easier to finish. Otherwise, the pie had a perfect amount of lime flavor to it, especially with the lime zest added to top. Overall, I would like to come back, despite my ratings. There is a good chance I haven't had the starring dishes, especially since the menu is so vast. read more

Lobster rolls and oysters! This place was the perfect lunch while we were visiting. The service was so friendly and quick but the speed of everything didn't sacrifice any of the quality. They truly know about good food here. It's a well lit large dining space with a huge bar area. It gives seafood meets sports bar and was casual enough for lunch but a great place for a date. Happy hour starts at 3pm and they have 1/2 off oysters so I highly recommend! read more

Visited for happy hour on a Tuesday! The service was very prompt and friendly. The food came out very quickly and was hot and fresh. We ordered beer and old fashions from the happy hour menu. Both were great. The also ordered a burger for the happy hour menu this was very tasty but very simple and do not come with a side. The coconut shrimp was not on the happy hour menu, it was VERY good but pricey. The calamari was also not on the happy hour menu and was not very good, chewy and came covered in buffalo sauce and blue cheese which didn't pair right. Overall I would come back but this is a more expensive restaurant! read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for years and finally thestars aligned...and in time for happy hour! I was seated immediately and ordered a regular margarita, the Connecticut (hot and butter) lobster roll with onion rings and the whitefish pate for my appetizer which was the only item that was happy hour priced at $7.00. I was tempted to get the clam chowder but they only offered one size and I knew I probably would be full off my dip and roll . My waitress had the sunniest vibe on this overcast day, she was super friendly and attentive. My drink was strong and delicious, I could tell they used actual fruit juices instead of premade mixers. The whitefish dip was small but mighty lol, it was creamy, salty and flavorful in the best way!! I really enjoyed it. My lobster roll was amazing, PACKED with lobster and so buttery, nothing else needed, no notes. I have said I want to try a cold lobster roll with the mayo, but the warm butter calls my name every time....maybe next time lol! The onion rings were the perfect pairing, fried perfectly. My waitress provided me with two sauces for the rings, ranch and I believe a spicy ranch. The spicy ranch was super spicy but ended up being the main one I ate with my them. read more

Fun, lively and family friendly seafood spot in downtown Birmingham. Snuck into town for a quick meal with my peoples and look forward to coming back. Great service and food. read more

Unsuspecting ambience and fresh seafood reminded me of spots in the FL keys and Maine. Oyster selection included Holly Berry oysters and toppings others from the east coast. The cocktail sauce was tops here. Hush puppies were served with a spread that seems to be a combination of butter and a white cheese. We had blackened fish (cod) taco (topped with slaw and delicious spicy aioli) and a CT style lobster roll (generous portion of lobster, steaming hot center) for entree. read more

I was there today with a large group, for brunch. We had one server, Kayden, who did an absolutely fantastic job of waiting on all of us at the same time. Plus, everyone had extra demands and he kept up with all of that very well. Our food came out fresh, and hot. We've had issues with multiple servers bringing out food for everyone at different times, but Kayden really had it anll under control. I had the chicken biscuit and the breakfast potatoes, both were excellent! read more

I will be back as I know the menu changes seasonally. I went during crab season and I was not really impressed with the "crab a ganza" not much crab for the money. Mostly mussels, green beans and potato and some of the mussels were empty. Our server was polite but we didn't get very much check ins. Our glasses were empty for the most part. They didn't seem that busy either. Someone at our table did get a lobster roll and it was fantastic so I will be excited to come back during lobster season read more

Our group of 4 made a Saturday night reservation at 7:45pm. The restaurant was packed with patrons, but we were quickly whisked away to our table. Our lovely server, Lynne, was excellent and on point with recommendations and great service! I ordered a few oysters on the 1/2 shell and they were delicious. We got our drinks right away. The whitefish dip is to die for! There is plenty for 4. Do NOT miss the Lobster bisque! It has a bit of spice to it , but it is so flavorful and the consistency is PERFECT! I swooned while slurping! Be sure to order the Lobster roll. I ate lobster rolls in Maine and this one rivals Maine's best! It is stacked with fresh, large chunks of lobster! You get your own little side of butter! Really? The bomb! No crackers even necessary! We were not disappointed! My husband's fish and chips, well, that piece of fish was huge! He devoured every yummy morsel! Our friend swooned over the fish tacos, too. Don't forget to make room for dessert. The wrecking ball is outstanding! We split it 4 ways and it was just enough. :) We all loved every choice we made and we certainly will return! Hazel's is a seafood gem in Birmingham that can't be missed! read more

This seafood house was super cool inside and had many interesting photo ops. Our food was great and service was excellent! Our chips and dip for happy hour needed more chips so we bought extra, but the dip was great. We really enjoyed our meal! read more

A friend and I I went for dinner not expecting much, and this will for sure be a spot we frequent. We were in the hunt for raw oysters (east coast duh) and they did not disappoint. We chose from 3 types of EC and we settled on 2/3 and order two more dozen. Yes two more dozen. We had the fish patte for the app, perfection, fresh cracker and not oversaturated with mayo it was great texture and taste. Loved it would order again. Drinks were dirty martini blue cheese olives. Good the first one was better than the second one maybe different bar tenders. Also had the coconut tequila drink I think the Alaska reminded me of summer and the beach. Refreshing. Connecticut lobster role - loaded with lobster buttery salty bread was full of butter. Yum! Our waitress as great came and asked multiple times if we needed anything. Smiling face and kind! We will be returning!!! I needed pictures because everything was excellent but I left My Phone in the parking garage! read more

Coming from someone who has been to every seafood mecca in the United States, I can say Hazel's is legit! We ordered both a Connecticut and Maine lobster roll. Holy moly. We love this place. Why? They don't go cheap on the meat! Probably the most generous amount of lobster we've had on a roll before. The lobster salad is also A+! You can never have too much lobster. Definitely this is a staple and premier spot in Birmingham. I'd recommend this for anyone visiting! read more

Had the best time at Hazel's for Sunday brunch! After finding parking along the street nearby we entered through the nautical themed entrance. Although there was high and low topped table seating all around we opted for seats at the bar where we could take in the upbeat banter and good energy all around. The bartender was fun and gave great suggestions on drink variations and food recommendations. We chose the crab cake appetizer which was made with Maryland blue crabs and was some of the best crab cakes I've had in Michigan. We then ordered salads topped with blackened shrimp and it was another win. If you're looking for a little different menu selection for Sunday brunch, then you will want to try Hazel's. In addition to their brunch menu they also offer their regular menu filled with yummy seasonal seafood favorites as well. read more

Lovely place with a creative rotating menu. Cool location for car watching on Woodward.

The lobster bisque was heavenly - efficient, generous and very tasty, not overly salted like some places. The atmosphere casual inside and spacious. The service is quick and efficient. The fish tacos are very flavorful in a soft taco. The crabcakes and crab sandwiches taste authentic and the fries or just right. This is a great place worth visiting! read more

My family came here for an early Mother's Day celebration and we left so happy from the great food and service! Our server Matthew was attentive with our waters and orders and the food came out quicker than fast food places while being fresh and delicious! The portions here are also large so you will not leave hungry. It's also a large open space inside that is great for groups. Appetizers: Calamari and hot crab dip - delicious! Loved the chili aioli that came with the calamari. The bread that came with the piping hot crab dip was also super soft in the inside and crispy on the outside. Soups: Lobster bisque - lots of lobster pieces. Half and half (lobster bisque and cream of crab) - we thought it was separate portions of each but it was mixed together which was a surprise but was still good. The cream of crab added creaminess to the lobster bisque and made it less acidic. Mains: Warm lobster roll - large chunks of lobster on a perfectly buttered bun. Soft shell crab sandwich - large sized crab on a soft bun. Sides: We upgraded the fries that came with our lobster rolls to garlic fries and hush puppies which were very worth it! Hush puppies had some scallion inside with soft butter on the side and the garlic fries had a good amount of garlic/parmesan/butter topping. Dessert: wrecking ball - a large vanilla ice cream ball covered in trail mix and toffee topped with hot fudge and a cherry. My group of 5 split one serving and were satisfied. read more

Cute spot with a nice atmosphere, though the seating wasn't the most comfortable. Parking was tight in the structure! I ordered the seafood boil bag, which came with a huge bucket of legs at a great price. It was a bit cold and overcooked, and I had to ask for crackers and melted butter since my server was busy. No big deal, though, I ate it all except the corn and potatoes (too much food!). I thought about giving the leftovers to a homeless woman nearby, but she vanished before we left. Overall, I'm satisfied and would definitely return. read more

If you are a lover of fresh seafood, especially crab, then Hazel's is the place for you. The crab cakes appetizers were the best crab cakes we have ever had. Real crab and no filler! The flash fried soft shell crab appetizer was also very good and came with a savory, slightly spicy remoulade dipping sauce. They are well known for their lobster rolls which you can order Connecticut (hot with butter) or Maine style (warm with mayo). We got Connecticut style. The brioche style bun with butter was a bit rich for our personal taste but the lobster was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back to try their Maryland Blue Crab A La Carte and steam pots! read more

Probably the best oysters in town! Very worth it if you are an oysters fan especially during happy hours. Also got the peel and eat shrimp. Tasted fresh but not amazing. Glad we tried it during happy hours though. The fish taco feels healthy but not flavorful. Not the best fish taco I've had but presentation is beautiful. And definitely an healthy option with it being blackened and not fried. Would recommend. Kids menu fish and chips was very well fried. Crispy and the fish inside was very tender. Our server was also excellent and did a great job with recommendations. Ambiance is wonderful too. Modern, clean, spacious. Overall good experience. Would return for happy hour again. read more

In short, ambiance was good, service was great but food was just average. Arrived on Sunday during happy hour. Got the oyster and shrimp and whitefish pate. The oysters were fresh, no seafood smell, and paired beautifully with horseradish (fresh), cocktail sauce, and some lemon and some ground black pepper. I would come back for this. Shrimp was fresh but not amazing. It cooked well and paired well with cocktail sauce and the ?aioli? sauce however did not impress me even for the happy hour price. All the tables had it so I decided to try it but I wouldn't order it again. These are medium size shrimp and the highlight is the sauce, not the shrimp. The whitefish pate was so-so as well. It was a good dip, but again nothing special. Did it go well with saltine crackers? Yes, however these crackers were not house-made and were pre-packaged. Meh. The whitefish itself was not worth the price and I am glad I did not get it at full price. It wasn't bad, just not amazing in my opinion. After looking through the menu, and looking at what everyone got, I decided on the lobster roll. This did not impress me as well. It is 5-6 oz of lobster, pure lobster. I got it hot, with melted butter and some cajun seasoning. The lobster itself was cooked but it lacked flavor. Bun + lobster. That's it. I didn't know I had to add A LOT of seasoning and butter for there to be some flavor which did not make me feel particularly good about myself. It is a small sandwich, the promised 5-6 oz of lobster, but not worth $33 in my opinion. Service was stellar. Our kid, who usually watches iPad/phone was well entertained by our waiter and the coloring materials available. Service was quick and frequent and amicable. The menu was explained well. Ambiance - pretty good. Pretty lighted with natural sun with lots of windows and not dimly lit. Kid Friendly. Not exactly the most romantic dimly lit place, so don't expect that. Loud and conversational atmosphere. Overall. service: 5/5. Food: 2/5 (saved by the oysters), ambiance 3/5. read more

Was seated near the window, which was nice, but what was outstanding was the high back chairs. Loved those. The place is cute, clean and casual. Attentive, friendly staff who don't mind if you split items. Shared the Maine Lobster roll and Fish tacos. They were very good- I prefer a bit more zest in the tacos but they were fresh and flavorful. We did squeeze in room for Key Lime Pie- delightful whip cream with lime zest topping. Perfectly tart with a killer crust. read more

Really nice seafood date night restaurant! My wife and I went here with another couple. We were all CRAVING some good seafood and coming to Hazel's hit the spot! I started with some creamy tomato bisque soup! It was delicious and I didn't have to wait for it to cool off, it was perfect temperature when I got it. Next came my entree, which I chose to be fish and chips because it seemed like I'd get a huge piece. I was not disappointed! The piece I got was MASSIVE. I didn't have enough ketchup at the table and needed to ask for more. Drinks were pretty good too, I had a couple captains and cokes and the drinks were definitely worth the price. read more
