    Spaghetti alla bolognese
    Ian K.

    This place is located in the North side of Dexter Ave, west of the main campus. Apparently it was one of Bo's favorite places and Jim Harbaugh brought players there. So it is a very popular place in Ann Arbor. It was packed when we were there. They are known for their steaks but we did not order it so sorry cannot comment on that. We did get the Bolognese and chicken Parmesan (see photos). The chicken parm was like the bolognese with a huge piece of chicken. That was a very good deal compared to the price of other things. We heard this is the place to come on game days.

    We sat at the bar to get the famous dirty martinis with blue olives. Dave was our bartender and he was incredibly busy but also very attentive to us. I was quite impressed. I ordered the Alissa summer salad with sirloin steak and a side of french fries. The steak was cooked to perfection and the dressing for the salad was so refreshing. The atmosphere was bustling, reflecting the popularity of this place. Although we put our name in for a table, we decided to stay at the bar because it was so pleasant. I definitely plan on coming back.

    Yummy dining in classic/old/traditional club style digs. I don't even know if that makes sense but I definitely could picture, back in the day, the establishment full of university men meeting here for steaks and burgers, drinking, smoking, cards and maybe pool. A bit loud and bustling today, but we were able to get seated without a reservation on a Friday evening within 5min. I got the Jalapeño-Bacon Jam Burger, which was delicious! The savory spicy jam really elevated the burger, but the quality of the meat and the char grill is really what makes this good. Rounded out with cheese, pickles (a decently generous amount), garlic aioli, arugula, and a grilled brioche bun that was the perfect amount of sturdy to hold everything together without being too bready. Delicious! Burgers come with a side of chips by default, but I swapped for fries which are good classic fries. The drinks! I got a whiskey sour and wow was that a generous pour, and a good price. Didn't taste watered down or anything either. My husband's drink was a large pour and a good price too. Drink prices vary quite a lot at different dining establishments and I was very happy to discover the value of drinks here. We'll be back! It's not a huge space, so reservations are probably helpful. There is also an upstairs space, not sure how big that is. Good amount of parking on site which is convenient.

    First off the waitress was really nice but obviously not versed enough on the menu to answer our questions fully. The place was really packed and loud to the point of not being able to catch an intimate vibe. The food was definitely subpar. I order twin lobster tails with scalloped potatoes and asparagus. The lobster was tough and not seasoned properly. The potatoes were mushy and way too cheesy. The asparagus was ok. I also ordered a bowl of chili that was pretty tasty. Overall this place was an old school favorite of mine that has seemed to change. Not sure if I'll be returning again.

    My family has been coming to Knight's for decades. It's always enjoyable. Tonight my partner and I came here to celebrate our fifth anniversary. Yet another fantastic experience. Although the parking lot was quite full, we were seated quickly. Server came to take our drink order swiftly. Per usual, food and drinks were on point. The steaks were cooked to their requested temps. Sides were great. The ranch that came with the garden salad (homemade, I assume?) was out of this world. Even the butter packets were the appropriate temperature. Lots of leftovers. Love the quaint, old timey charm this location has always possessed. Above all, our server, Devin H., was phenomenal! Very attentive, friendly, not remotely overbearing. He had fantastic energy; best server we've had in awhile! Love this place. We plan to make it our annual anniversary dinner (plus many more throughout the year,of course).

    Comfy like an old shoe, Knight's is a great choice for steaks and burgers. The bar area, often raucous, is surrounded by somewhat quieter booths and tables. If they have a steak on the daily specials menu, it's probably worth a look. Today they had a cabbage and smoked sausage soup that was both hearty and flavorful. After enjoying a cup of that, I tucked into a build-your-own 7 oz burger with American cheese and green olives. Burger, served on a toasted brioche bun, was nicely charred and cooked medium as I requested. If you're not a beef person, the Cobb salad with optional salmon or chicken might be right for you - or perhaps the fried walleye. Several good beers on tap and an extensive dessert menu.

    Tenderloin risotto

    Had a great birthday meal for my friend. I hadn't been to Ann Arbor in a while, and Knights hasn't changed a bit. I had the delicious Tenderloin Risotto, is was amazing. Our server recommended a wine that paired perfectly. I highly recommend Knight's for anyone wanting to celebrate or to have a delicious meal.

We've been here several times, and it's always a solid choice for a date night. The interior is modern and comfortable, and they have a bar area with TVs. The dress code is pretty casual, and seating includes a mix of tables and booths. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were good. My husband ordered a mule--he liked it, though he still prefers their Dark and Stormy. I ordered a non-alcoholic drink and had them add rum; it turned out tropical, fruity, and really enjoyable. If you're not looking to drink alcohol, they do offer a nice selection of NA beverages. For dinner, my husband got the prime rib, which he said was excellent, and he thinks their mashed potatoes are the best. I ordered the au gratin potatoes, which were very good, and the risotto. The risotto was just okay for me--not my favorite--but overall the meal was enjoyable. We'll definitely be back again.

The shrimp are large and I like that they include a glob of horseradish in the sauce. I do like that they offer bread and butter! You know I'm never turning down that offer. Service was ok but could have been better -- we had to flag down our server a couple times. It was a snowy night, but I remember it being freezing inside. Felt kind of cold/clinical in there. Something about the lighting, perhaps.

Seating was simple and quick... they do check your ID at the door before you get seated. Interior hasn't changed and I don't expect it to change. I appreciate the old vibe that place gives. For meal, we ordered: - few onions rings - Fried Artichoke Hearts - 2 regular burgers and 1 order "over the top" - few beers The service is hit or miss, depends on how busy the place gets... our waitress was working six tables by herself, but she did all she could to help. The onion rings were awesome, fried artichoke hearts, you can skip... for the burgers, I would recommend you stick to classic - meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onions. We all got it med, the meat was juicy as usual and we all enjoyed it. The draft beer that I ordered was flat unfortunately. When we got our check I noticed that there was a "convenience fee 3%", which is applied to your meal prices only. I'm not a fan of convenience fee, if they are trying to offset the credit card charges or adjust their prices due to the inflation or higher material costs, they should just raise their prices to offset those. I also didn't see anything about convenience fee being added, granted if it was in a smaller print so I could have missed it. It seems everyone is adding on convenience fee to everything.

Definitely my go-to entree. Thai-Style Calamari (5/5): One of THE main reasons I love Pacific Rim so much. This is the best calamari appetizer I've had. Lightly breaded and fresh. The sweet chili sauce is perfect. Thai Peanut Noodles (4/5): The noodles had great texture and the Thai peanut sauce was delicious. The tofu wasn't really crispy and I personally would've loved the option to add some meat. Lamb Dumpling (4/5): Lots of meat in the filling and didn't taste gamy at all. Limited time special. Shrimp Shumai (4/5): Really enjoyed the wonton wrapper. Shrimp flavor came through nicely. Limited time special. House Salad (4/5): Light and fresh. The soy based dressing was sweet, slightly acidic, and not at all overpowering. Warm Chocolate Cake (4/5): Delicious cake with a warm, gooey inside. I personally don't like coconut or chocolate and fruit desserts, but I still enjoyed this a lot. Creme Brulee Tasting (4/5) : Green tea, pumpkin spice, and ginger creme brulees. Loved getting to try a little bit of each flavor (green tea was my favorite). Spiced Caramel Pear (3/5): Not my favorite since I don't generally like cooked fruit. The mascarpone cream and shortbread were good though.

I need that happy medium lol But overall great experience. The Caesar salad was good just too much Caesar dressing. The mashed potatoes are always creamy and delicious. The broccoli is okay no seasoning. Overall the staff is nice, the management is great. Any issues I had was corrected right away. The ambiance is beautiful. I will return!!!
