We liked Jim Brady's, the service was excellent and attentive. We did think the food was a bit overpriced for what you got. The food was tasty though, we liked the chicken sandwich more than the burger. Overall, it was good but the value for dollar is questionable.
My sister & I had dropped my nephew & his wife off at the zoo for a Summer Sips event, so we decided to have dinner nearby. My sister suggested Jim Brady's which she'd only been to for lunch. So, she made a reservation and arrived right on time. We were seated right away. The first thing we noticed was how LOUD it was. It's good that we didn't have a lot to talk about because we couldn't really hear each other over the noise. My sister ordered the Baja fish tacos. She explained to the server that she can't have peppery spice, so they were going to leave that out of the corn elote side dish. But, it was still too peppery & spicy for her. However, she enjoyed the tacos. I ordered the Charlie Brown -- a cheeseburger with bacon, pickles, onion and tomato. It came with some nicely seasoned fries, which I gave to my sister, since she couldn't eat the corn. The burger was pretty good. We had a lot of time to kill, and we rarely order dessert, so we decided to eat only half of our entrees and get the s'mores for two. Unfortunately, they were out of those. BUT, they did have a dessert called The Temptation which looked good, so we got that instead. It was really good, really rich, and I doubt that one person could eat it alone. I liked the food much better this time than I apparently did the last time, but the noise really is deafening, which really turns me off. I will have to remember that should this restaurant be suggested again.
What I really like about this place is the service. Everyone was just so nice and attentive to us. We all really enjoyed it. Food was good too, especially liked their Tachos appetizer.
Clean, inviting, and classy with a nod to family, nostalgia, and fun. This was our first observation upon entering Jim Brady's on August 10th, 2025. We live about 50 miles from Royal Oak and come to the area for shopping and dining twice a year. We enjoyed our meal so much we went back the next morning. I cannot remember the last time that every single thing that we ordered was top notch. From the drinks to the appetizers to the main course to the dessert. Including the friendly personable service not only from the greeter but the bartenders the manager and the chef. My wife used the word phenomenal. The kindness shown was unprecedented. My wife is not into waffles or pancakes however the carrot cake waffles featured are an old family recipe and my wife loved them and cannot stop thinking about them. The carrot cake dessert was in a class by itself. Speaking of best of... my wife says the risotto was the best she's ever had as well. The Scallops were seared and cooked perfectly. The smoked white fish dip as an appetizer was incredible too! It's sad that we live so far away but next time we're in town we are coming back. We wish to thank everyone involved those two days for such a wonderful experience. Our tummies, taste buds, and hearts left happy. Six Stars * * * * * * here. Not Five
Great little spot with great service and great nightly specials and HH menu. We had a girls HH night on a Wednesday and it is 1/2 off bottles of wine all day. That, paired with their great 1/2 off shareables & apps (excluding the shrimp) was a great deal, portions were the same size as normal menu items and I could've easily had 2-3 apps myself and been full. We sat at the bar and our bartender was awesome, got our food in before HH was over and was attentive and helpful. Will definitely be back, and a solid spot to watch some games at the bar.
Server Scott, was awesome. Had answers to all our questions and very pleasant. Gave samples of the chicken pot pie soup and it was delicious. We ordered 3. Food was hot and delicious! Free parking a Big Plus.
Overall, delicious! I came here for a short celebration! They had delicious champagne along with some appetizers. They have happy hour M-F 3-6pm! The ricotta was not my favorite but tasted decent: the Caesar salad had a very heavy anchovy taste which is a little different. The chicken poppers were the best and arrived freshly fried!
We had a wonderful dinner with my in laws tonight. My salmon and veggies were delicious and had a beautiful presentation. My husband splurged on the short ribs and was glad he did! In laws had a St Patrick day special and the original burger. All phenomenal.
Our group of four thoroughly enjoyed our lunch today at Jim Brady's Detroit, located in Royal Oak! Our server, Emily was patient, attentive and knowledgeable of menu recommendations to suit our desires. I had an Irish coffee which was good. I found the spicy chili absolutely delicious! The Caesar Salad with Brady's dressing was divine! The City of Royal Oak offers very little free, onsite parking - especially restaurant establishments. Jim Brady's does though, and that's a big plus! Recommended!!
I'm super disappointed. I was looking forward to this lunch/dinner here. The first time I came here, it was just for drinks. Saw the menu and was impressed by the story and the menu selections. My one day off and I chose this disappointing experience. The ice tea tasted like lemon with water. Not richly brewed at all. Told the waitress and her reply was "I didn't make it" I ordered the Charlie Brown. Well-done. It came back raw in the middle. I am going to post this review on all platforms. I'm tired of bad service and bad food.
Always the best of service and unique blend of flavors and ingredients on the menu at Jim Brady's. Today's lunch was fish tacos, and they were a celebration of flavor.
Not a huge fan of this location anymore because the manager was terrible on a couple occasions/visits. All the other staff was always amazing though, especially this one waiter (can't recall his name) who seemed to be known and popular with all the customers. Use to be my go to spot with the My Big Fat Greek Turkey Burger, The Boston Boulevard Waffle Puff and Nantucket Lobster Roll. Not anymore with all the menu changes.
I was in the mood for a hamburger and decided Jim Brady's was going to be the place. Historically, I enjoyed the inferno burger-- this burger was removed for whichever reason; however, it was back as a special! 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! read more

I used to come to Jim Brady's for years after Covid I hadn't had a chance to come back. I finally made it back to one of my favorite spots. I used to be a burger girl and that's all I would order. That would still be my go to at this restaurant but I opted for The salmon Caesar and it didn't disappoint. The croutons are made in house. Those were some of the best croutons I have ever had. I sat at the bar and the bartender was so sweet. The owner even came out and asked how our service and food was. The carrot cake was the star of the show. I wil always be back going back very soon. read more
Came here for a quick lunch and was met with exceptional service and hospitality. Have been here in the past for dinner (birthdays and events) and it can definitely get busy! Our food came out quick and first couple bites were good. Only thing bad about the sandwiches/burgers were that they fell completely apart after a couple bites. read more

First visit to Jim Bradys since moving to R.O. I was seated upon my arrival. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The music is at a level you can carry a conversation without yelling. Our server was amazing. She made several suggestions that were top notch. read more

I have been here for dinner a couple of times and the group I was with enjoyed both the food and the service, so I decided to try a brunch with my group because I looked at the brunch menu last time I was here. Eggs Benedict gets me all the time. Set up a reservation on Open table so it was easy. Even with the heavy rain most of the group showed up. A couple had been here before and loved the food. The eggs Benedict was some of the best I ever had but didn't like the fried potatoes do to the spices used on them. Both did warm up well the next day. Service was friendly. Lots of parking in their own private parking lot. A rarity in Royal Oak. Owner is very homeless cat friendly along with the staff. Both told us about how ordering a piece of carrot cake feeds a cat a meal. All of us got a piece to go. I plan to set up another brunch with a another meetup group I help with. Look forward to coming back. read more

This place was amazing! Best burger I have ever had, and the chicken poppers were juicy. I got the bad axe and my mom got the diamond, both were juicy and flavorful. The atmosphere was beautiful but it was very loud, had to shout a little to talk across the table. read more

Rating it 3.5 - Took my parents here after going to the movies. Tons of parking but unfortunately only 2 or 3 handicap parking which didn't look roomly but that goodness for more available parking. Literally the number one reason I decided to come here - easy in and easy out. (That's what he said! Lol!) For real now - left my parents in the car so I could make sure that they had available seating and a clear path for my dad since he's visually impaired. The person at the front was super nice in assisting; the table wasn't all the way ready but he told us we could sit if we wanted to. We weren't given menus at first but the waitress noticed me looking at my phone then apologized and brought some straight out. Food did take a minute or too but I preferred that way instead of fast food. We all had a round of drinks - dad ordered the 8oz steak with asparagus and potatoes, mom order and onion dip sandwich with fries, and I ordered a salmon po boy. Fries were overly seasoned but doable and my dad steak was tender but as well over seasoned (if you eat with potatoes then it helped). The check came to estimate of $116. Would I be back - probably not with my parents but it seems like a great place for a nice casual date. Not cheap and not expensive. Definitely would like to taste something else maybe to get the rating up and see if they can redeem themselves. Happy Eating!!! read more

We were a party of 5 with a reservation for 6 pm. Our table was ready and we were seated immediately. It took some time for us to receive our order, but once it came it was hot. I ordered fish and chips and it was delicious. No complaints. My friend ordered a po boy sandwich and enjoyed it as well. My mom ordered the filet and did not like it at all. She said it wasn't cooked the way she ordered it and ot was too tough to eat. Whatever sauce on it was too salty to eat. I appreciate the fact that they came out and addressed the situation, offered her something in exchange and did not charge her for the meal. I appreciate the effort and for that I would definitely visit again because my food was really good and the atmosphere is really nice and I love the street signs at the booths. Nice photo ops in the ladies room! Give them a chance! read more
Great place for brunch. Was here for girlfriend's birthday brunch on Sunday. They were not really busy, service was prompt and very friendly. Great drinks menu and food was delicious. Ambiance has a feel of an old school bar with leather sofas and soft lightning. Would like to try them for dinner. read more

Went after work yesterday 6/1/22 and everything was beautiful. Drinks weren't too strong or light weight as far a liquor goes. The bartender Andrêa is super nice and friendly. She made sure everything was great & kept checking on us. She was patient and didn't mind my indecisiveness. The menu has choices... My love and I had 2 apps. He had 2 drinks & i, 3. All the food was nice & hot. My NY strip was the perfect medium and seasoned to perfection. The fresh Italian sausage bar bite was really tasty. I always loved the Ambience here. The service is excellent. And I'll come back any day read more

Perfect brunch place! Great menu, good prices, nice atmosphere and a wonderful waitress. What else can one ask for. Smoked salmon Bennie was just right! Eggs were cooked just like I requested. And my friends' food looked delicious and confirmed to taste equally good read more
Amazing spot! Mad at myself for not coming here sooner! The menu was the perfect size, the service was outstanding, and the food was so tasty! I will be back. The parking was right out front, and you didn't have to pay the city!!! The famous burger and French dip were the right choices, suggested by our server! Can't wait for round two! **great iced tea! read more

Came on a Saturday night with friends. It's a very popular place in Royal Oak! We had reservations but still waited for a short while. It was busy! Ambience is good for group gatherings, their booths are huge. It's really loud though. Food was good and came out quick. The octopus and Brussels sprouts apps were delicious! Staff is helpful but a little slow with our requests (more water, ketchup, etc) - they were probably slammed on a weekend night though. Fries were crispy and hot. Tacos had great filling. Burger was juicy. Would recommend for large groups! read more
I haven't been to Jim Brady's in awhile and decided to stop in after the movies. I started with the crispy Brussels. They were seasoned well but not as crispy as I remember them being in the past. For my entree I selected the sea scallops that were served on a bed of risotto. The scallops were seared perfectly but the risotto was dry and flavorless. Had the risotto been creamy this would have been great. Our waitress was friendly but it seemed like the kitchen was slow. Which was surprising because the restaurant was pretty empty. read more
