Hip hip chalet! I've heard about Chalet's legendary nachos from my teammates. This is their go-to after our weekly masters water polo practice. So, when the opportunity finally arose, I knew I had TO. Chalet didn't disappoint but we rolled up with a HUGE group and understandably overwhelmed the servers so it was a bit slow. The nachos were awesome and totally shareable between 2 people. I appreciated their plentiful draft options as well as cocktails. read more

Great food and service made for a very nice dinner with family. I cane here with extended family for a post graduation dinner/drinks. We were seated right away which was nice considering our group size and the restaurant being pretty full. Not a huge dining area either. Our waitress was awesome. Extremely patient with us. Very friendly. Top notch service. We started with buffalo wings which tasted great and were cooked perfectly; nice and crispy. A very very very good wing. I order a bacon cheeseburger with fries for my main. Get the garlic aioli aka garlic mayo lol. Burger was great. Cooked perfectly. Well seasoned. A tier burger. The fries could have been a little crispier but they were still very good. Finally, we got a slice of carrot cake. Wow. Absolutely delicious. Huge as well. Get the wings. Get a burger. Get the carrot cake. You won't be disappointed. Will gladly go back. read more

Angie rocks the bar! The only available seating was at the bar. Angie knows job and has no wasted motions keeping all the balls in the air. The chili is excellent! Good flavors and textures. It does have beans. Hint: Anyone that knows beans about chili, knows that chili does not have beans. Regardless; it is excellent and I would order it again. The Rustic Club is very good. Lately it seems that club sandwiches seldom include both ham and turkey. This Club has both. Excellent bacon, expertly prepared. My only complaint - way too much mayo for my tastes. SWMBO order the Mediterranean Skillet and was very happy. The negatives? - Quite noisy. - Parking. The gravel lot is both small and neglected. It desperately needs a few dump truck loads of gravel. read more

Used to frequent there often before moving and remember it being good food at a reasonable price. Since I was in the area, I was excited for the opportunity to take home something delicious. So disappointed! I ordered the Appetizer Beef Tenderloin Tips (which was always considered shareable) as a carry out. Got home and was shocked to find 6 small pieces of beef!!! For $24!!! And I tipped on top of that!!! Wish I would've checked the box beforehand because I would've laughed and walked! What a joke! So much for supporting a local...Texas Roadhouse has a 20 oz. Bone-in Ribeye + 2 generous sides for $33.99...can't say I've ever been disappointed there! read more

Well first of all never remove a cocktail without asking if you "are finished" as I actually had a couple of sips left in my cocktail ...so I did say something to my server so she brought me back a couple of sips on a new drink .., I will be back for more details on my dinner... ordered the burger which they are basically known for & it was very good. They have a varied menu which is a good thing to have variety. I will be back but the noise level is about an 8 out of 10. It would have been nice if our server asked if we wanted dessert or anything else before placing our bill on our table... locally owned so it's important to support our local restaurants read more

Great game day service and specials. A fun, dim lit dive with friendly staff and decent bar food. An indoor area with TVs surrounding the room, there's not a table or bar seat you wouldn't be able to watch the game. There is extended outdoor seating that's enclosed if it's busy. Great quick stop for some bar food and a beer! read more

Busy night and they were under staffed. Reuben had sauerkraut in the description but came with coleslaw. Corned beef didn't have much flavor. They used Russian dressing instead of Thousand Island. Might be a great place for burgers but I wouldn't order the Reuben again. read more

Mt. Chalet II - Reuben - but not what menu says. This has Cole slaw, not sauerkraut on it. - Dive Bars Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

What can I say? I've been going to this place for 20 or 30 years now and this is the best menu they've ever had. outstanding service. And nicely poured drinks. Truly, one of the last cozy Birmingham watering holes. May they pour forever. Ps highlights are the mac & cheese and nachos super tasty super fresh. They are really getting it together back in that kitchen. read more

My sister recommended we come here for the chicken fingers and man was she right! Great tenders, great ranch and my husband loved his burger! read more

Love this place for a game night or a quick dinner. Service is great, all smiles all the time. Food comes out quick and is insanely good. The burger of the month is always interesting and the garlic parm fries scratch my itch for San Francisco garlic fries. Touchtunes is always a plus as well keeps the music fresh and everyone happy. read more

Not only is the staff great the food is too Dine in or carry out And who would buy a piedmont burger any place else at double the price? read more

Always a great spot for a drink and surprisingly an amazing place to grab a bite. Not your typical bar food. Great quality. It's definitely a bar ambiance with it being on the louder side. Lots of tv's and plenty of tables. The service is always good. This place gets packed too, so give yourself extra time if a game is on or if it's dinner time. Many locals patronize this place. read more

Foods great I love the nachos. Service is solid and a nice sports vibe. Great place to go highly recommend it

I was taken to Mt. Chalet for my birthday dinner because my friend "raved" about the chilli. We both ordered loaded chilli with cheese and sour cream drizzled on top. We each had a salad and coconut shrimp appetize with sweet chili sauce. The waitress was very pleasant. The atmosphere was nice and the chili was delicious. Reasonably priced. read more

Mix drinks are overpriced. $11.50 for a drink I normally only pay $7.50 for. Food looked ok, but I only came for a drink.

Dinner food is consistently good. Someone always opts for chicken tenders because they're delicious. Pro tip: Get the buffalo sauce. read more

What an amazing lunch. By far the finest corn beef hash of all time. Kudos to Rachel for A+++ service to our family. I'm going back tomorrow! read more

Here's a draft for your review: --- We had an overall decent experience. Our server, Abigail, provided adequate service, though she could have given us more time to look at the drink menu. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, which had a wonderful flavor, but the roll fell apart, making it difficult to eat. When it comes to the fries, I would recommend sharing instead of ordering individually, as the portions are generous. A heads-up: if you order side condiments, there is a $1 fee. Overall, a mixed experience but with some good points. read more

Carrot cake was great!! I think the plate was warm which made it kinda warm but cream cheese was cold so not entirely sure but it was a greattttt bite! Could be a bit more spicy but I'm also crazy with needing everything incredibly spicy. Cream cheese was perfect not overly sweet! read more

My family loves coming to Mt Chalet. The staff is so friendly and we love having Sam as our bartender, she is amazing!!!

The food was very good for bar food (we had fish & chips and pita w/ artichoke spinach dip). The service was excellent -- it was quick and the drinks were strong! The ambiance was good as well -- we were there Friday night and the place was packed. Despite that, the food came out quickly and we were waited on promptly by the staff, all of whom were working hard. Definitely go there if you're in the area. read more

One of my favorite places. You can sit at the bar or find a table. The food is good, but my favorite thing is their carrot cake! Looking for a place to try? I would recommend trying Mt. Chalet. read more

I used to love getting the Southern Style Chicken Tenders. A few months ago, the tenders served with the meal became much, much smaller. They have been small the past three times I've ordered this meal. At this point, it no longer makes sense to order given the cost. read more

Loved this place!! Definitely it's got the ski lodge vibes you'd expect. Had a warm ambiance and even the clientele was wearing cozy turtlenecks lol. Stayed for 2 glasses of cab and it got me nice and toasty like you'd expect from red wine on a cold night. The waitress was super attentive and was always ready for water refills and checking in whenever we needed anything. I'd come again for sure! read more

highly recommend the burger and the server brian!! 10/10 service and such fun vibes for st. patty's

Food was okay. Chicken chowder was pretty good but nachos were just okay. Server seemed annoyed. Maybe because it was busy?

Been coming to the Chalet (lets just say for years) today i sat at the bar(rarity for sure) Angie is indeed a ROCKSTAR. Brilliant smile (touch of sass all good) efficient and professional. I now have a reason to sit at the bar. read more

i love having sam as my bartender! best bartender ever, great experience 10/10 recommend!

I've been going to Mt.Chalet for years as its only a couple of miles from home, and it never disappoints. I love their Reuben sandwich and the burgers (especially the Piedmontese burger) you can tell that the kitchen staff really wants to put out great food. The servers are terrific and the prices are still reasonable. Well worth a visit! read more

I've been on a mission to find a good burger and beer place. The kind of spot that gives dive bar vibes but has quality food. It's been harder than one would think living in Royal Oak. I think this spot is our lead contender right now. Fries were great and so were the burgers. I was able to get sliders which worked well for me. We managed to each have two beers, burgers, and fries for $43. You can't do that anywhere these days. Heather our server was awesome. I liked the vibe. Dive bar but also nice at the same time if that makes sense. read more

The piedmontese burger was really good. I'm pretty simple on toppings...mayo, ketchup and mustard only. Prepared as requested. Fries and burger served hot. It's a bit chilly inside, but not too bad. Service was quick and friendly. I'd for sure recommend and return. Great pub atmosphere. read more

Classic Birmingham spot with great atmosphere, drinks, and food. Try the Tommy Tomato, add bacon. You will not be disappointed--no sandwich like it. Very unique. Or go ribs. Add chili to any order. Thank me later. read more

This place has been here a long long time. And still they managed to keep it quaint, and very very clean.

This restaurant is by far my favorite weekly place to go for dinner. It's a great crowd, environment and the food is fabulous. A standout server is Maddie - get her if you can. She is always on top of everything from anticipating when you're ready to order, clearing your dishes and ensuring your next drink arrives just in time. She's incredibly skilled at managing to make you feel like you're the only person/table in a restaurant that's always busy. I love the Chalet! read more

We showed up expecting a group of 10-14 people after a funeral service on a Friday late afternoon. They were very accommodating in finding a spot on the patio where we could all sit together. Our server was professional and efficient. The list of specialty cocktails was impressive. The good choices met our varying dietary needs (vegetarian and gluten free). read more
