    Brunch menu
    Tamara F.

    I finally got a chance to drop in for brunch. Glad it's back. I come here every couple of months for dinner so it was nice to try the brunch menu. Even though I didn't have anything egg-based, I did enjoy my sandwich and soup. The friends that joined me enjoyed their food as well. Usually it's always an excellent service experience. Unfortunately, this time I think the server that we had was abrupt and it felt like we were bothering him. It's unfortunate because before I've always had a good server experience here, so I was a little thrown by it. We had to wave him down for water refills, for a second pop, etc. It wasn't that busy while we were there so I was a little surprised he just didn't stop by the table and just pour more water or ask if anyone wanted another pop. It felt like barebones service. I was also surprised that he did not serve the biscuits that they usually do at the beginning of the meals. I originally just assumed it was because we were at brunch so they didn't serve them so I didn't bother asking. But now I see a review from someone else that they did get the biscuits at brunch! So that's a little disappointing because they are delicious. This is a nice place for small groups, six or less fit comfortably at their larger tables. I have been here previously with a very large group and they put tables together so it worked as well. Sunday afternoon was also a great time to go because while there were people there it wasn't overly crowded so it was easy to hear each other at the table. I'll still continue to visit Roadside. While the service is hit or miss, the food is consistently delicious. I love their food.

    Shrimp and Grits
    Alicia S.

    I was happy to see that brunch had returned after a long absence at Roadside B&G. I missed the free breakfast biscuits and was glad that they were good as they used to be. I had the shrimp and grits and it was a 3.5 out of 5. The shrimp was good but the grits could have been a bit more creamy and better seasoned. Our server was nice but I kind of expected my daughter's kids meal to be free after finding a fruit fly in her fruit but it was not; we simply got a new fruit bowl.

    My wife stopped for a couple of drinks and an appetizer on a Friday night. The wait for a table was about an hour in the dining area. We were able to get a table on the covered and heated patio to avoid the wait. We could have also chosen to eat at the bar. We started with a drink. My wife had the Blueberry martini, which she really enjoyed. It was like a frozen drink. The vodka and lemonade took off the tart/sweet of the blueberry. We chose the brussel sprouts for our appetizers which were very good. They are on the better side of this popular appetizer. I would not say the brussels are different, but they are better in my opinion. We finished with cups of the tomato-basil soup, which were good. This is our third time here, and is one of my wife's faves. The atmosphere is upscale bistro. It is very cute inside. The crowd is older and more on the businessy side. I appreciate the menu is on the shorter side. The portions tend to the smaller side, which I appreciate. The service has been attentive and excellent every visit.

    Walleye special
    Janice J.

    We found this gem based on my sister's recommendations of restaurants in the area. We were looking for a nice restaurant for an impromptu anniversary dinner and Roadside fit the bill. My husband enjoyed the walleye special and I loved the whitefish entree. We both ordered side salads and had more than enough. Everything was very tasty and served in a timely fashion with friendly staff. We did sit outside on the patio which is covered and surrounded by tall grass. We did not see any of the traffic and truthfully the road noice is like a dull hum until a hot rod or large dump truck goes by. (Remember Roadside is in the name. )My husband and I could easily hold a conversation.

    Stopped here on a Saturday night after visiting at St Joseph's hospital (it was a little before 10). We were tired & hungry and so glad to find a decent place open until 11. When we pulled into the lot, there were still quite a bit of cars there. Of course at the time we arrived, got seated right away, though I suspect during peak hours there would be quite a wait. I got the sangria - it wasn't bad. They served us 1 biscuit apiece (they were good & I wished for a 2nd one). My husband had the fish & chips and I had the chicken with honey, green beans & rosemary truffle fries (those were good!). Both dishes a solid 4. Service was very good too Atmosphere was fun - industrial space- cement block walls, exposed pipes on ceiling & lots of sleek stainless steel. And everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. Good find!

    Panko chicken cutlet ($23)
    Brittany H.

    After living near this restaurant for three years, I finally came in for a date night. My boyfriend and I arrived on a Friday night near 7 PM, thinking we were going to have to wait a while for a seat but we were sat immediately. Amanda D was our server and was phenomenal. She was patient with me, as I was unsure what I wanted to eat since a few things caught my eye. With my meal, I had a porter beer while my SO had an IPA. Both beers were around $7 or $8. He ordered a small Caesar, which was enough for both of us to share. He was asked if he would like anchovies on the salad, to which he said yes. My boyfriend stayed the anchovies really brought out the flavor and was glad to have the salad with anchovies. He also ordered the buffalo shrimp and short rib taco appetizers as his entree. The shrimp was jumbo and very Buffalo-flavored. They were good, but I could make them at home and would probably not order again. I didn't try the tacos but he stated they were very good. I ordered the panko chicken cutlet and loved it. My only suggestion would be to include a side soup or salad instead of having it be an additional cost. The dinner was over after an hour and for a Friday night, I think prompt and efficient service is a win in itself. I would like to go back and have the blackened shrimp taco bowl.

    Cougar happy hour cocktail
    Stacey S.

    Simply amazing service. Every time I have been here we have received amazing friendly service, amazing food, you cannot go wrong. Is it scary that this fabulous place is on my way home and I typically pass by during happy hour and I can get those petite warm potato chips with that awesome sauce and those tiny little yummy short rib tacos and a cocktail after a long work day? It's scary good, I tell ya. ;) Make a reservation, you won't regret it.

Waze was instrumental in finding this hidden gem as it's tucked behind a fairly blah stretch of Orchard Lake Road. Turn down what is basically a residential street and Sylvan Table appears like a rustic Phoenix! TS saw my eyes light up as I soaked it all in. The owners have moved an antique Maine barn to Sylvan Lake Michigan and created a beautiful (if a bit barren and cold in December) oasis. The inside is as inviting as the outside with a beautiful space buzzing with activity on a cold December night. A Roaring fireplace and beautiful Christmas decor set the stage for a wonderful evening. We were seated upstairs at a nice corner table and the super friendly server was there in a flash to take our drink order. I had my usual, Grey Goose Martini on the rocks with bco's, TS opted for a house Pinot Grigio. Both hit the spot taking the chill off and were delicious. Our server went over some specials, and the menu had a varied selection of great sounding entrees. We started with a charcuterie board with their own house made crackers, cheeses and meats including a decadent pate'. And as an added bonus we were brought a few roasted brussel sprouts with cranberry chutney, fantastic! For our main course TS opted for the pork chop with root vegetables and I had the roasted chicken with the same sides. Both were delicious and juicy being cooked over a wood fire! Now Sylvan Table is a farm to table restaurant which could be daunting on a long cold Michigan winter. And part of the farm must be on their 5 acres. I bet those root vegetables were picked and stored on site for use all winter just like an old timey farm. Ee ate like we hadca tip on a famine and washed it down with a big bold red. But there was still room for more. For dessert we split a slice of Buche Noel and some coffee. The dessert was a work of art. As we made our way out we realized we were the last ones there. So after a picture in front of the Christmas tree we were gone. All in a magical experience with food, service and ambiance that can't be beat. And the company, well that goes without saying! So try out ST before everyone finds out about it! Sylvan by name..sylvan by nature. Sylvan Table...Go!

The only thing that would make this place any better is if they had a liquor license! We came in and seated ourselves; we were greeted warmly right away by our server. The decor is cute and modern with bright colors and has a good vibe. The menu is really interesting - there are a lot of good items on it and it was hard to choose! I was really tempted by the birria ramen - I may have to come back just to try that. I like that they have traditional Mexican/Tex Mex food as well as wings, burgers, and salads. Anyone would be happy eating here. To start, the chips came out hot and freshly fried and the salsa is nice and mild with a lot of tomato flavor. My Mom ordered the Ghost smash burger and I had the spice dusted wings. Both of those come with fries or tots, and we got fries. I also got a side salad with their southwest Caesar dressing, and it was really good. Topped with fresh tortilla strips and a decent amount of dressing - it wasn't overdressed, but I might get it on the side next time. Fresh and yummy. I really enjoyed the wings - they were a decent size and not overly breaded or frozen wing dings. These are legit chicken wings and I love the spice mixture as well as the delicious cotija ranch type dressing they come with. That's really good. My Mom's burger was also delicious - nice and hot with queso sauce and a fresh soft bun. A pretty perfect large burger. I will say that they're using frozen potato products, but with such a small workspace, I can see why that's necessary. And I'm not mad at it - the prices are very reasonable, and they came out hot and crispy with seasoning on them, so they're definitely decent. We'll be back every time we're in Pontiac! They're very close to the UWM campus and sports complex, so that's a big plus. They have specials, and on Saturdays KIDS EAT FREE!

All 3 meals had flavorless meat that looked more freezer burned than cooked. The cotija cheese that topped everything tasted a bit turned/sour and the guacamole was possibly green a few days ago. For my experience this evening, this place is a good candidate for Gordon Ramsey's Restaurant Rescue. Also, Music: I will add this is the first time I have ever eaten Mexican food to Chariots of Fire and Seal's Crazy.

It's always a busy time for establishments, especially when it comes to holidays, but we repeatedly kept getting seated and "unseated" (the hostess would seat us, but then take us back to common area as the tables were either dirty or not ready). I didn't personally care about this, but I definitely noticed my party getting a bit frustrated by the experience as it happened about 4 times before we officially got seated, which also exceeded our initial reservation time. The service itself was okay. I wish they would've come around a bit more as we were out of water while eating our meal, but I know it was super busy that day!! I ended up getting the soft shell crab sandwich and it was pretty good! I think it would be even tastier with more sauce on the bun, but overall a nice pick. I also tried the lobster bisque; it had a nice texture with the little lobster bits, but found it overly salty. Hush puppies were a nice, crispy texture and I loved the sweet butter with it!
