Holy white table cloth Batman, this place is top notch WOW total trip, kinda felt like your drunk ants reception, total weird experience. Not sure what to say, do the have food yes, and the prime rib looked pretty impressive, beer ck wine ck. oh when I stopped they had some live lounge music, wow bonus. The place was jamming and everyone over 50 we're having such fun. You gotta ck this place out, quite the experience.

Friday night. With live entertainment.

This is one of Clarkstons best kept secrets. We can always walk in. Just a block away from downtown. We drive by people waiting in line outside for meteocker food. I don't get it. But don't tell no one. I love there food and the pours are the largest of anywhere I've ever been. Plus it's locally owned and operated. The owner is almost always there.

Outstanding. Great service. Great food. Try the walleye. A little dated with the decor but you cannot beat the food or the value

Really great time with a large group! Food was okay and the drinks were really good!…read more For our large group, we had the private vault room to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was really nice to be sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant and it was pretty cool to sit inside of this vault. Our server was great! He kept coming by cracking jokes and making sure that we had enough to drink. The Tilefish dish I had was okay. It was on special that night and I was expecting it to be some big showing for the market price it was listed at. The piece was pretty small, rice was mushy, and the sauce had no flavor to it really. The fish was great though, so the main part of the dish was great at least! I had multiple cocktails, one being an espresso martini which was excellent! Overall a great place though. Be careful walking to the bathroom though, that glass floor where people dining below you can look up at you is pretty bizarre.

Located in the quaint Village of Clarkston, this building used to be an actual bank, so there are…read moreparts of the decor that remain. You can have dinner inside the room that used to be the vault. In the downstairs bathroom, the wall is safety deposit boxes. The upstairs is beautiful and light. The downstairs has a bit of a dungeon vibe and the table we had there was like a picnic table with benches I stead of chairs. The benches were uncomfortable and everyone's purses kept falling off. The service was decent and our server was knowledgeable about the specials and menu in general. The food and drinks were hit or miss. The burgers, truffle fries, and oysters were a hit. The beet salad was bland. The espresso martini was pretty but did not impress, other drinks like the lemon drops were pretty good.

Bunkhouse Burgers - Double Bacon Jam Burger w/ Regular Fries

Not your average burger joint. We ordered the Baseline Burger and the Bunkhouse Bird, along with a…read moreside of Mac Bites and a Cookies & Cream shake. Everything came out hot, fresh, and well above typical fast-food quality. The Mac Bites were amazing, but the Winnebago sauce was definitely the star of the meal. The shake was thick, creamy, and the perfect treat to end the night. Our daughter usually doesn't even like burgers -- unless they're from Bunkhouse.

Found this place by accident just driving by. I tried the Bacon Jam Burger with some regular fries…read more The burger was very good; the bacon jam gives a nice smoky flavor and the spicy pickles added a nice touch. Very much like a traditional smashburger; a little greasy, but mine was not overly greasy. Burgers are served wrapped in wax paper and that coupled with the decor gives a very old-school diner vibe. The fries were cooked perfectly. Golden & crispy on the outside, soft and steamy on the inside. I ordered the regular fries (not the seasoned fries), but they were still a tad bit on the salty side. The staff was young, but they knew what they were doing. The grill man served up a tasty burger and the young lady working the register & delivering food provided service with a smile and answered all my questions as a first time customer. My only knock on this spot is that the lobby/dining room area needs a thorough deep cleaning. The table tops were sticky, the seats had a lot of crumbs and food on them, and the floor could use a mopping. Ketchup & mustard bottles were sticky as well. On the plus side, the kitchen area looked clean and tidy (you can see right into it from where you sit). But the tables and chairs definitely need some TLC.

This review is long overdue! Rudy's Prime Steakhouse in Clarkston is truly a fantastic dining…read moreexperience! From the incredible atmosphere to the outstanding food and wonderful staff, everything is top-notch. The steaks are absolutely delicious, the appetizers are amazing, and the quality of the food never disappoints! A special thank you to Emily, our server, who is absolutely phenomenal! She is friendly, attentive, personable, and truly goes above and beyond to make the experience memorable. The entire staff is welcoming and professional, and you can tell they genuinely care about their guests. A special acknowledgement to Robert and Chris, who have done an incredible job bringing their vision of a premier, upscale steakhouse to life in Clarkston! Their attention to detail, commitment to exceptional food and service, and dedication to creating a truly memorable dining experience are evident in every aspect of the restaurant. They've created something really special, and Clarkston is lucky to have it! Rudy's Prime Steakhouse has a sophisticated and inviting ambiance, making it the perfect place for a wonderful evening out! Great food, exceptional service, and a first-class dining experience on every level. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to return

Terrific steaks, cooked exactly as ordered. The sautéed mushrooms were lovely, the carrot cake was…read morereally great. We appreciated the attentive service and nice selection of wines by the glass. The house pickle martini was a fun twist on a classic. I'm a big fan of a hasselback potato. While flavorful, this fell short as the edges were not browned and crispy. That's the thrill of the hassle back. This would be a five star review IF they would prohibit ball caps, men in t-shirts, shorts, or anyone in denim in the main dining room on Saturday nights. It was clear there were many people celebrating special occasions with men in sport coats and ladies dressed nicely. As a courtesy to those guests, people with ball caps and other casual attire or athletic attire should be seated in the bar or outside on a Friday or Saturday night. As Tony Soprano put it so well: Is this a ballpark? Are you eating a hotdog? Take off your hat!
