El Cuban
Greg B.

Pleasant atmosphere, lots of TVs for sports or special events. High top tables around the bar easy seating, lots of booths for something a little bit more dinner like. Our server was Amber and she was very patient while we visited before we ordered which I thought was a very nice thing to do. Too many people feel like they're rushed at a restaurant, she made me feel very comfortable. I had the Cuban sandwich and it was probably the first Cuban sandwich I've had in the Detroit metro area that actually tasted like one. Also, the size was large. I'm a big boy and I like my food. This one was almost too much to finish. Of course I did. Try it out soon.

This place ticks all my boxes: divey, good food and drinks, and keno. Add in to the mix a nice staff and friendly folks and you have the Rusty Nail. Growing up on the east side of metro Detroit and now not even living in Michigan it was by sheer luck I found this place. I make it a point to visit at least once or twice when I'm in town though. The bartenders and servers are great and the food is really good not just for bar food but overall. I love the soft pretzels and cheese sauce. The pretzels are buttery and full of flavor. I've never had them anywhere else as good as here. Sandwiches and burgers are also a solid choice. They even have pierogies on the menu they get from a local polish market. Prices are not cheap but for the quality of food and drinks the Rusty Nail nails it!

Souther Chicken Salad

We love this place! Southern Chicken Salad is 10/10 everytime. Staff is always so welcoming and the environment is so homey!

Chicken quesadilla and Hot Pretzel Dippers
Katelyn S.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food! We ordered the pretzels and chicken quesadilla, both were fantastic and I would order them again. The food is a little expensive, but could be due to the raising costs of everything these days. A nice little dive bar, everyone seems to know everyone in there!

I enjoyed this place immensely, our server was great he chose our entire meal and nan was he on point. Will be back here soon. Kinda pricey- but worth it

He also demonstrates here how he called me a faggot.

Typical dive bar. Food not very good. Not worth stopping here when there are other places nearby that are much, much better.

This is our favorite hotel when visiting family in the area. It is a sprawling resort, as the name…read moreimplies, and there are plenty of hallways, wings, and cultivated grounds to explore. Its an ideal destination for an extended stay. As a former seminary built in the 1940's, the architectural flourishes are second to none. Design aficionados will be in aesthetic heaven. There are three restaurants on site - an Irish Pub, a wine Bar, and a Steakhouse with a bar and breakfast service. The wine bar is definitely worth a visit, whereas I recommend the other two options primarily for their convenience. Service is exceptional and the beds are firm but very comfortable, nonetheless. The in-room TV supports casting TV & movie apps - Netflix, Hulu, etc. - but not music apps, for some reason. Fortunately we brought a WiFi speaker. A few notes on accessibility follow. For context, I can walk with crutches but need to use a wheelchair for long distances. And this hotel is all about long distances. We had an accessible king room, and while the lanes for navigating a wheelchair around the bed are tight, they are manageable. The bed is super comfortable but also very TALL. It could be tricky to transfer to the bed from a wheelchair without assistance of crutches. There is plenty of space in the bathroom and the roll in-shower has a good set up with an accessible shelf for shampoo, etc. Be careful with the bathroom door - it is a very heavy sliding door with a strange locking mechanism. The public spaces in the hotel, including the restrooms, are generally modern and accessible. I also noticed that the pool has a swing chair for water access. One exception is the Irish Pub, which treated accessibility as an afterthought when it was designed. There is no wheelchair access within the hotel - you'll want to drive around to the back to use its parking lot. Additionally, to get to the restroom or the second floor of the pub you'll need to use one of smallest prefab dumb waiters I've ever been in. Finally, be advised that the entrance to the hotel is at the top of a steep hill, and the porte-cochère landing itself is at a slant. Be agile with your brakes, and let your companion park the car after you've exited if you can. Also note that there are only 4 designated accessible parking spaces. We've seen them all full on multiple occasions; for a parking lot of its size, the hotel should probably add about 4 more.

The food is amazing. It's always clean. The staff is very helpful. They go above and beyond.read more
