We had such a wonderful experience at Starters Bar & Grill today! I brought a group of 18, and our waitress, Jasmine, was absolutely amazing. She was patient, friendly, attentive, and made sure our entire group was taken care of. The whole staff was welcoming and made our visit enjoyable. I also called afterward and spoke with the manager, Selena, who was just as pleasant and professional. I love Starters! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great, and the staff truly makes you feel welcome. I will definitely be back, and I look forward to bringing my clients again. Thank you, Jasmine, Selena, and the entire Starters team for taking such great care of us! read more

Great Vibe, Good Food & Fun Atmosphere! I stopped by Starters Bar & Grill and ordered the shrimp fajitas, which came out on a sizzling hot plate always a fun presentation! The fajitas were cooked well and flavorful. I will say there were definitely more veggies than shrimp, but overall, I enjoyed the meal. The atmosphere is what really stood out to me. It's a great spot if you're looking to hang out with friends, catch the game, grab some drinks, and enjoy a lively crowd. The waiters and kitchen staff were super nice and did a great job mingling with the guests, which made the experience feel welcoming and social. Because it was pretty crowded, we waited about 30 minutes to be seated, so I'd recommend calling ahead if you can, especially during busy times. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere, drinks, and good vibes! read more

The food is good here but I've called over three different times and they always will put you on hold without letting you say one thing and they never come back tonight was the third time I have hung up on them and not placed an order because they just don't answer their phone so I've given up read more

This It seems to be a good meeting space for people who like to hang out and grab a bite with music and friends. The food is good and standard American fare. I usually run by here when folks are visiting and staying in the Southfield area because no one has ever complained about the menu. Everything is hot and made to order. The portion sizes are large, and you will definitely have enough to carry out as well. The bar is excellent, and the drinks are strong! read more

The food here is always hot and fresh and good! Our waitress (I forgot her name :/) was absolutely wonderful and didn't seem bothered by our toddlers like some do. My only complaint is when ordering carry out be aware that they use AI and it will tell you a time to pick up and when you show up they haven't even begun to make your food...so we usually dine in. With two toddlers we don't have two hours to wait for dinner. read more

Sitting at the bar, happy hour crowded people really in a nice buzz because the drinks are very very reasonable at happy hour. Food is good but definitely bar food. Have fun if you just wanna have a couple drinks and snacks perfect for that. read more

The food was really, really good, and the service was very well done by L'oreal. She was an excellent hostess. The only downside for me is that the place is too loud, but this is a lively place, and I plan to come back again soon. read more

Service was a bit slow for being 2 of 4 patrons. My steak bites and Mac n cheese were very tasty, but I got onion skin in the mushroom and onion topper. The zip sauce is to die for! My guest had the Catfish lunch. She loved it . The remoulade with the green beans was perfection. I had a dirty martini and she had a double amaretto sour. Both great! read more

My favorite. Lunch portion shown and it's hearty. My only complaint is not enough rice but I'm sure this does not matter to most and a lil too much gravy lol. Overall, it tastes pretty well seasoned and homemade. Fairly priced. The lunch menu has several options to choose from. The ambiance is relaxing during lunch hours. R&b music was playing and not too crowded. read more

Another staple in Detroit that is falling off , I think is Jt looking for what my family talked about from the westside location but this spot was all the way off but the Manager did remove the pasta and she added a drink so I won't be ungrateful. But food was lacking flavor and love which we grow to have in black owned establishments ‍ The floors were extremely slippery but they had signs but that didn't take away from the mop that could be used daily so we don't slide into our seats . I give it two because they fixed it so I may try again but them famous steak bits were old beef and ribs tasteless ‍ read more

We got carry out last night, and I was so disappointed. All we ordered was loaded potato skins, a spicy chicken sandwich, and chicken Alfredo. The Alfredo was ok, but the potato skins were clearly old. Like they had been sitting around at least all day. And the chicken sandwich was so dry and stringy on soggy white bread with a sad piece of lettuce. I honestly couldn't eat it and ended up trashing it which is very unlike me. These things are not difficult to do right, it's just lazy af. They'll never get my money again. read more

Food was very good. My Long Island was fantastic. My steak was very good except it was a bit under cooked. The asparagus was great. Service was excellent. The ambience was urban and cool. I will come here again. read more

Mary is terrible. She doesn't understand customer service and needs a serious attitude realignment. Management and ownership need to seriously consider her removal from the entire service area. She can carry her hips and be mad at the food in the back. Some of us regulars consider avoiding her shift altogether. She is a bastion bad energy, the antithesis of Happy Hour, it is quiet often Attitude Hour. Her mouth is bad to the point of being uncanny, a down right collision of repulsive etiquette and off color stichomythia. Some have had enough. Shall we start going back to Plymouth? read more

I ordered delivery from Starters on a snowy day! They followed all of my special instructions and the food was tightly packaged. I ordered the steak bites (medium) and they were in fact the correct temperature, don't forget the zip sauce and extra seasoning. I also had the mini app sampler which was also very good. I didn't know what kind of egg roll was in the sampler but I was happily surprised to find out that it was corned beef. If you're looking for a filling meal on a cold winter day I definitely recommend ordering. read more

We asked to sit outside and was informed there's an automatic 20% gratuity added to the check for patio seating. No worries & we agreed. After sitting, waiting, and being ignored, I thought to myself "no wonder it's automatically charged, yall are going to give crappy service." Never again. Don't even bother, head to the other end and eat at Las Cazuelas instead, they appreciate your money and provide a better experience. read more

Our Central HS alumni group met Sat Dec 21st. We were there in September. We go every 3 months. Our waitress was overwhelmed (her words) that it was so many people. Definitely nor trained. We had to ask for silver ware and our receipt. One person never got receipt. No menus you have to use code or pull up menu in Google. Online menu is not up to date. My catfish bites and rib tips were good read more

Mediocre service .. Went for dinner in a group of five. Waited about 45 minutes to be seated and the place was half empty. Waited another 30minutes to get appetizer and dinner, never got my dinner . Long story short, it took nearly 2hrs to get wings and a beer. (Wings were actually good and why I don't give it 1-star) read more

Ok, no way would I sit down here to even eat! I thankfully used the bathroom first which led me to bail out asap. Someone got sick the night before in the sink and the residue from that was still there! The rest of the bathroom was filthy as well!!!! Close this place down! read more

They're good is good. I don't care what any one says and they're service has been great morning or evening when I've gone which is a preset big deal. Everyone knows night shift servers are a little different sometimes. But not here I haven't been disappointed yet. I don't know who came up with that Fattoush salad, but babbyyyyyyyyyyy that dressing, they are on to something! Easily above any middle eastern one I've tasted! Add salmon to that salad and thank me later! Lol I take my six year olds here once a week after school and don't you know he eats a whole salad and fried pork chops by himself! Food is literally that good read more

I needed some outside time so I decided to check out the new addition to the Starter family. Upon arrival the hostess was very nice and accommodating, she immediately assisted me with a table but I eventually found seats at the bar which I had preferred. This location is in a strip mall but there is plenty of parking in the front and the rear. The set up is nice, they did have limited seating due to Covid and all staff had on masks. I ordered an original margarita and had to send it back because it tasted funny and I switched it for a Pineapple Marga-Vita which was really good despite that it didn't have the pineapples in it like they do at the Detroit location. The bartender was very nice and on point with the drinks. They unfortunately were out of Corona and Stella beers but the good lamb chops and the fried shrimp with the boom boom sauce made up for it. I didn't order an entree just appetizers at this visit but Starter's is known for really good steaks so maybe next time I will really dive in! read more

Today was my second time coming here. I have to say I love how they have adapted to Technology. I love that I can check-in and, review the menu and then place my order. I love that I can scan my receipt and pay my bill electronically. I ordered a Delmonico steak with salad and Baked potato. Food was significant other than medium Rare her is Rare, meaning they barely cook it. That is the only issue I had to send my steak back. read more

Great wings and deep fried shrimp. We sat at the bar and the lady bartending was super nice. They have a huge tequila collection. The prices for lunch are very reasonable and the beer is very cold. Highly recommend. read more

Food and service was awesome!! Would recommend to anyone! Almost didn't stop by based upon the rating. read more

The wings tasted frozen fried with a frozen taste. The crispy chicken salad had water underneath the lettuce. The white wine was so water down. The waitress could laugh and talk with friends as they came in, but grimed my guest and myself. I was asked by I assume the supervisor how was my meal, I told him the salad had water standing underneath the lettuce. The wings were terrible and the waitress sucked in terms of service. He said SHE WAS THE BEST THEY HAD!!! He had justified why water was underneath my lettuce... he didn't offer to give another salad. This Starters in Southfield on Evergreen is THE WORST EVER.. I wouldn't give them ONE STAR.. don't waste your money read more

Baby when l say good food it was and they did it !!! Service was excellent love it I WILL BE BACK Flintstones

my sister went there and brought her leftovers back to share with me. it was their delicious pepper steak -- that we later threw out bc we found hair in it. but before we discovered that hair, we went back again for carry out - this time with our mother. my sister already had the food when my mother and i arrived but she decided to add a salad to the order. the salad took so long to make that our other food got cold and didn't taste good at all. the wings turned to rubber. the catfish bites became soggy. and the fries stiffened up. i know it was busy, but we just wanted a salad. no cooking necessary. just throw some cold salad veggies in a styrofoam box, drop a couple pre-filled cups of dressing in there and keep it moving, am i right? also it was very, very loud in there and we could hardly hear each other. we had to lean in and still speak loudly just to have a conversation. my sister's first time there was in the middle of the week, so it wasn't as crowded or noisy. but the weekend is a little too lit for me. i ain't going back. read more

Me and my son just came to the restaurant to eat. No waiter or waitress addressed us. Very disappointing. Another guy comes in after us and sat down and the waitress ran to his table sat don with him and took his order. I know she seen us sitting there. I had to ask for a waiter or waitress twice and still no service. Definitely loss me as customer. Terrible service!!! I did mention to a gentleman but I just left. Both I and my son were very disappointed. read more

In town on a business trip, this was around the corner from my hotel. I am always skeptical about ordering steak for take out but since Dine-in is a no go right now- I figured I'd give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised!! Steak perfectly cooked (medium) and seasoned well. Fresh salad and streamed broccoli on the side. Only downfall was having to use plastic cutlery, but I made it work :) awesome job & I hope to come by for another meal and a drink at the bar if I ever return to the area!!! read more

I visited this location last Thursday after work with some friends. They arrived earlier than me and put out names on the list for a table and were told 30 minute wait. I arrived an hour after my friends and they were still waiting on a table. We were finally sat at a table over an hour later. This location is small and located in a strip mall. We were sat at a booth. Honestly, there was no social distancing going on. Every single table was occupied and bar was packed with folks crowded around bar. I felt very uncomfortable. The only Covid-19 precaution I witnessed was once you downloaded menu, they requested your information for trace contacting. The waitresses wore masks but many of the patrons crowded around bar and those walking around did not have their masks on. I ordered a drink (it was jack honey and cranberry some drink they had on menu) it wasn't good. To eat I ordered off happy hour menu (they have a decent selection of food and drinks). I ordered catfish bites and potato skins. They food was straight. Apparently their Tito vodka machine was down so my friends had to change their happy hour drink orders. They ordered dinner entrées which included: a cheeseburger ( pre made patty and my friend said it was extra dry) and a catfish dinner ( this friend enjoyed her food). Entrees come with their freshly baked rolls (never knew this bc I NEVER ORDER ENTRÉES. I only come here for happy hour and on friends suggestions). The rolls were good but too much butter on them (think Bosco sticks). This was a typical Starters experience. I won't be returning until they enforced social distancing and space out their booths. read more
