I got a side salad and a southwest wrap. The side salad was huge and has so many toppings with a really good creamy balsamic dressing. The wrap was phenomenal. It had a honey chipotle aioli that was creamy with a little kick to it. It was unlike anything I've tasted before and elevated a simple wrap. Not to mention the inside was wrapped in melted cheese. Overall this place can be busy and have slower service but this time we had no issues. The food is high quality and tastes above average. It is also in downtown Mt.

We were told they didn't want to seat us because it was "a bar," even though it was during regular business hours and they were open for food service. At no point in the restaurant's description or online information does it state that guests must be 21 or older, or that children are not welcome. Had that been made clear, we never would have attempted to dine there. Families should be aware that this does not appear to be a family-friendly establishment, despite there being no indication of that beforehand. We left feeling embarrassed and disappointed by how the situation was handled.

The poutine and chicken tenders were both amazing! The chicken was fresh and very good quality, it seemed to be hand breaded. The poutine had great flavor also! The pierogi was dry and not great, so I would skip those next time. For dinner I ordered the mac and cheese and French onion soup. The French onion soup was so salty it was inedible. The Mac and cheese was also disappointing. I thought it would be baked or have a sauce and it didn't. It reminded me more of a kids meal (but with adult prices) and was a small portion. Husband got the fish and chips and he enjoyed them, but said he wished they gave malt vinegar with them. Overall the service was slow and some dishes were great and some were not so great.

Food-wise, it was a mixed bag but mostly good. I ordered a chicken wrap and that was the miss for me. The chicken was kind of shredded and just not great, so I wouldn't order that again. My son got the donut waffle which was fine, but the real standout for the kids was the pancakes. Three big, fluffy pancakes on the kids plate and they were legit good. The fruit sides were excellent too. Fresh berries, not sad afterthought fruit. My husband's omelet looked amazing and made me realize I probably should've stuck with more classic breakfast food instead of a lunch item. Service was friendly and patient. It was a little slow, but it was a busy Saturday morning and it looked like our waitress was covering a whole section by herself. Getting the bill took a bit, but it felt more like opening growing pains than bad service. Overall, great atmosphere, solid breakfast options, and a place I'd totally return to.

It feels like the kind of place that has something for everybody--drinks, food, darts, a little arcade area, and that friendly local-bar vibe where you could easily hang out for a few hours. I only stopped in on a Tuesday to use the ATM, so I haven't had a chance to try the food or drinks yet, but just based on the atmosphere, I'm actually excited to come back and give the place a proper visit. My only complaint was the smell. There was definitely an odd sewage/urine-type smell in parts of the place, and after seeing other reviews mention it, I understand what people are talking about. It wasn't enough to make me dislike the place, but it was noticeable. Without that issue, just based on my first impression, I probably would have given it five stars instead of four.

If you're in Mount Clemens, just go to Mae's. Seriously. I don't know what it is, but breakfast here hits every single time. I've tried lunch too and it's great, but breakfast is where they shine. The "plain" breakfast feels elevated. You leave feeling full but not weighed down or greasy. Their mushroom soup is SO good, but heads up, it's got a strong black pepper kick. I love it, but if you're not into pepper, skip it. And the salad with the carrot ribbons... chef's kiss. Simple but done right. It's a walk-up and order spot, so you'll order food and drinks (yes, even water) up front, then grab a seat. It's usually just one waitress and a chef holding it down, so it can get busy and a little slow, but honestly... worth it. Best breakfast in Mount Clemens, hands down. I keep coming back for a reason. read more

Didn't know this place existed until today. It just opened and I'm glad it did because it was amazing! I had Mae's burger and a side of fries. The burger was quite big and had a great sauce. The fries were probably my favorite because it's so hard to find a place with exceptionally seasoned French fries. Not only is the food good but so is the aesthetic. It ends up looking modern and vintage at the same time. The ceiling panels being tin were memorable. In short, 10/10 would recommend. read more
