Mackle's Table & Taps - Strawberry goat cheese salad with chicken - Bars Near Me - Howell, Michigan

Bartenders are nice and personable and recognize you if you've been here a few times. Service and food is great. Great wine pours!

A nice place. Patio dining, good service, palatable food. Inside is too noisy for me. But the patio is great!

Great food, great service and the BEST Carrot Cake I've ever eaten! The Fish & Chips and Chicken Strips are outstanding!

We've stopped in twice - once for my birthday easier in the test and once a few weeks ago with our friends for an early lunch. Both times the service was excellent. Our first visit we had steaks and crab cakes which were excellent. Steaks cooked nicely, crab cakes tender and moist. We tried the truffle fries but weren't a fan of the earthy flavor. The tiny potatoes are to die for and so are the coconut shrimp. The second time we ordered mostly had appetizers. Our friends had the lobster bisque, buffalo cauliflower, and the peel & eat Shrimp. They loved everything. We had the Lone Star burger, chicken tenders, two side ceaser salads, and the coconut shrimp again. Our server was friendly and attentive but didn't rush us at all. We hung out for a bit chatting and we never wanted for another drink or water. The only thing I'd want them to consider updating is the use of plastic, I'm fine asking for no straw but if the process is to put them in every drink, please choose a compostable one and switch to compostable take out containers. read more

Lobster Bisque was watery with no lobster in it. Grilled chicken pasta was bland. Service and ambiance was fine.

Great food, consistently good, every time. Waitress was great! I love the potatoes! Baked, home made chips, fish and chips, all good. Chicken is amazing. Honestly, Every time i go, everyone Im with is happy with their meal. read more

Barely okay. I ordered a $15 "grilled chicken pasta" dish that turned out to be mostly watery cheese sauce with some sad noodles and a tiny chicken breast on top... definitely not what I was expecting for the price! Panera Mac and Cheese is comparable to this, but with thicker sauce and for less than half the price.... my boyfriend got the burger, it was mediocre. The food came out very quickly but because of the quality this didn't impress me. We saw our server twice the whole night, once when she took our order and once when she came back with the bill. It wasn't very busy, so not sure what the issue was. This was our first time trying Mackle's and unfortunately probably our last. There are better restaurants in the area where you can really get a bang for your buck instead of feeling ripped off. read more

Absolutely fabulous dinner with friends. Couldn't ask for more as the food was outstanding. The Wasabi Lime Tuna was out of this world and perfectly prepared. The steak tips in the Mac and cheese was equally as tasty. Highly highly recommended. read more

LeRoy: The freshwater perch was as fresh as if you just pulled them out of the stream. The carrot cake was right out of heaven. And the company I had to keep was superb! Katie: The lobster bisque was phenomenal and cheesy. The sweet potato fries and boom boom shrimp was 10/10 would recommend. Caitlin: The calamari was crispy and delicious! The side of mac and cheese seemed big enough for an entree - and it was creamy and had a great flavor! The carrot cake definitely was right out of heaven - I think angels descended on a cloud to drop it off at our table. Our server Mike was attentive and refilled our glasses about 100 times since we drink so much soda and water. Thanks Mike! read more

My hometown favorite! The cashew salmon is my favorite... but have never had anything there I didn't like!

Called to see if they take reservations, we have a party of 14. Did not need them until February. They put me through to the manager, Mark. First he answered with not "hello" or any such greeting. Asked me the date, and said no we can't do that. So very rude. We will take our business elsewhere. read more

Been coming here for years. Best restaurant in Livingston county. Joe Mackle is a great guy and all his staff provides top of the line service. Amazing food. Amazing drinks. If you ever have a chance to go here, do not miss the opportunity! read more

We are new to the area and have our favorite spots and this one is our go to place to change it up. Hard to get in sometimes which is fitting but its worth the wait. Drinks are perfect and the food is amazing. I personally love the lobster roll and my kids love the chicken and waffles minus the chiken. See ya guys soon, prolly tonight. read more

Mackle's is an office favorite. Just being a few miles down the road makes it the perfect destination for lunch! On top of that, the environment is nice, the staff is always pleasant and if you're lucky your table will be visited by the owner, Joe. My favorite meal to get there is the steak tip salad, but you truly cant go wrong with anything! read more

My fiance and I have been here a handful of times, overall we have been impressed. I do think this is a restaurant that does not get the crowd it deserves, but most people who do not live in the area don't even know the place exists. Food and drinks are good, drinks are a tad on the expensive side. However, our visit over the weekend left us unimpressed. We wanted to stop in for a drink and sat at the bar. I'm not sure if it was because we sat behind the taps and were hard to see, but we had to ask for everything ourselves. If we were hard to see, then there shouldn't be seats there. First, we asked if they could change the channel to the Red Wings game, the bartender changed it to hockey, but didn't pay attention that it was a completely different game. Then we asked for a menu so we could get an appetizer, he handed it to us, then walked away, yet not asking us if we wanted a drink. Finally, about five minutes later and asked if we wanted a drink. Received our drinks, placed our appetizer order, and watched the hockey game on our phone since the bartender wouldn't stay at the end of the bar we were sitting at for more than he had to. It seemed like he was putting most of his attention to the other side of the bar. I had to ask for another drink, even though my glass was empty when he handed us our food. He was not personable at all, and did not act like he valued us as customers. He was not rude, just not overly involved. We had to ask for our bill, as we were ready to leave since we did not feel our business was being appreciated at all. It was as if the bar was busy, but it was not. I'm pretty disappointed, because a manager or owner was there also, behind the bar at times, and paid no attention to most of the customers either. It seems like they pay most of their attention to regulars that frequent the restaurant often. I'm not completely writing Mackle's off, but if service like this continues, that will most likely happen. I've never been blown out of the water impressed with the place, but have never received the poor service like we did the other night. I hope that they can value every customer and give them the attention they deserve as patrons. read more

My first experience was a carryout order containing (2) Steak tip salads. I requested (1) without the fried onions. When we arrived home with our order, BOTH salads were made w/o onions. Not a huge deal, but for a $16 dollar salad with limited ingredients I expect to get what I order. We did call and notify the restaurant. Their solution was for us to drive back to the store and pick up the fried onions. Yep. They said that. A few weeks later my wife and I were in the area shopping and decided to give them one more shot. We placed the same carryout order as before, however this time we were asked how we wanted our steak tips cooked (we were not asked this the first time). I requested mine "rare" and my wife's "well done". Both steaks were rare (see pic). My wife had to microwave hers to cook it the rest of the way. Not going to give them a 3rd chance. Avoid this place! read more

Mackle's Table & Taps - Mackle's calls this "well done". - Bars Near Me - Howell, Michigan

I would give this place a zero if possible. 1.) if an entire section of your establishment is still wearing their winter jackets while eating is a clear sign customer service is lacking. Roughly 5 tables not including my own (which I wore my coat) were wearing jackets because this place was freezing. 2.) service was a joke, had to ask someone to bring our bill, and flag down the staff for additional drinks. They had enough staff to accommodate the floor at least 5 servers, the manager and the bar tenders were all visible and we went during a non peak time. So there is no excuse way service was brutal. 3.) the food took over 40 minutes to get to our table (2 meals sandwich and fish and chips) both served cold when they should of been warm shows they were sitting in the kitchen, or the fact this restaurant can't afford to turn on the heat just yet. 4.) food was terrible, no flavor. Hospitals have better food. I don't write many reviews, especially bad ones, this experience was so awful I had to. It was just gross no other works to describe it. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE- Mackle's Tables and Taps owner has attitude and is rude to customers. My friend and I were banned for questioning charge of $1.99 on my bill. The waitress asked me if I wanted the cheese sauce with the pretzel bites and I said no I have a dairy allergy. My friend said she would eat it. The waitress never said it was an add on or additional charge. When the bill came, there was a $1.99 charge for the cheese sauce on MY bill. I explained to waitress that she didn't inform me of that. She went to the owner who approached the table and the first words out of his mouth was 'all this over $1.99?'. Despite his attitude I respectfully explained what happened. He asked didn't we see it on the menu. I told him no. I didn't initially order the cheese sauce due to my allergy. The waitress asked if I wanted it after I ordered the pretzel bites. I said no and my friend said she would eat it as we assumed it came with it. She never said there was an up charge. My friend said she would pay for it since she ate it. He then said he would take it off of my bill and put it on my friends bill and don't come back. My family and I eat there about once a week. The owner always comes over to make sure the food is good and make small talk. As often as I eat here and thought so highly of the owners, I was really surprised by his behavior. BEWARE!!! Waitress also gave us copy of someone else's bill/receipt with last four digits of credit card on it. Hmmm. They must have been having a bad day and took it out on us. read more

Great food and service. Their Lobster bisque is amazing - the best around here. Also love the chicken tenders and tenderloin tips.

Service is always great. The food is creative and interesting. The food is always good. I've never had a bad meal there.

I am so grateful this place has stayed open for take out only. A friend and I finally got away for the evening and thought we'd try to find outdoor dining. Every place in Brighton was PACKED! No way we were putting ourselves at risk in those crowds so we started heading towards Hartland. We placed our order from the parking lot for our favorite appetizers to share. The Brussels never disappoint, the Buffalo cauliflower is amazing and the steak tips are always perfect! We also got the yummy truffle fries. Our order was ready very quickly and brought right out to our car. We headed back home and enjoyed our food on my deck around the fire. It was a perfect evening! Had we even ordered take out in Brighton it would have taken forever. 3 cheers for Mackles! read more

Can't review the food because we never got to sit down, walked out. The place seems to be run by teenagers who knew nothing about customer service. Two groups of people came in and were seated before us (even tho we had one of those buzzers). All the workers (?) were running around like chickens with their heads cut off, no organizational skills or adults around. Empty tables were clearly visible from the entrance so it wasn't that they were full...just not run well. read more

After trying many other places in the Milford, Fenton Brighton area we keep coming back to Mackles for over 7 years because we know we won't be disappointed. Cozy, friendly and reasonably priced, it's the local go to place for good food and drink and friendly faces. Really outstanding is the clam chowder and oddly enough, the blue cheese dressing. Any place that can make blue cheese awesome is worth coming back for. Don't miss out, try Mackles in Hartland. read more

Sweet potato fries with honey mustard dip are really good! French Dip was also very good, Spinach Artichoke dip was not our favorite, too strong a cheddar cheese and peppery flavor. Fish and Chips (substituted sweet potato fries) was excellent. Make sure you have malt vinegar and a little salt on this dish, nicely washed down with a pint of draft Blue Moon. read more

We love this restaurant. They have really great food. I love their Reuben, Patty Melt and French Dip. Darn good! Everyone there is very friendly and work really hard to make sure everyone gets what they need. Mr./Mrs. Mackle are totally involved and make sure everything is great! They also like to greet their customers. You need to go here and check it out! Oh, I also like the Chicken Pasta....Yea, a glass of Merlot too! read more

I liked this place. They had a good selection of beer and drinks but the menu was limited. My husband on the other hand was not impressed. I got the Black and Bleu burger. It was damned good. I was able to substitute chips for broccoli and it was a great choice. My husband got the short rib tacos. He said it was good and he liked the meat but was not impressed with the pricing or the atmosphere and I was not either. It felt like it was trying to hard to be booshie. I'd definitely try again as the food was good as was the service. read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't that busy, maybe a handful of tables for lunch. It was very nice inside but decided to sit outside since it was a sunny day. Our waitress was very friendly and brought our drinks out quickly. The menu had some tempting choices but we decided to get 3 appetizers: spinach artichoke dip, buffalo cauliflower, and truffle fries. The spinach artichoke dip was a bit different than what I expected, but it had good flavor. It seemed like it was a queso spinach artichoke dip but I wasn't complaining. Not my favorite, but good. The buffalo cauliflower was a disaster. It had a ton of oil and you could see it swimming in the dish it was served in. It was so oily that it absorbed into the cauliflower and completely ruined it. It's a shame because I love buffalo cauliflower and was looking forward to this dish. The truffle fries were the best thing we ate. The fries were nice and crispy and the scent and taste of the truffle was nice. I was skeptical about the balsamic vinegar drizzle but it added another depth of flavor to the fries. Overall we weren't impressed by the appetizers we selected, but may be back and get an actual entree. The place has a ton of potential and I hope the next time we visit will be better. read more
