Nice atmospheres a ok and the service. No for the consumable products. So to start off the tea that is offered is out of a gun. Not a good start. For an appetizer we ordered the nachos which was tasty but there wasn't 2 ounces of hamburger meat on the entire thing. The group of four ordered two burger both were the "pound" not bad not great. We also had the the Michigan salad the best of the items. At any rate this not bad juts not a great find. Brighton has lots of good food and fun. See yea. read more

If I could give less than a one star I would. Service is awful and food isn't anything special. All the servers and "bouncers" are self absorbed, rude and more focused on flirting with each other than doing their job. The bouncers are extremely rude and ive witnessed them throw people out for legitimately no reason. They come across as wannabes that over exert their "power" in an effort to prove something to themselves. Been there on several occasions and never had good service. Have to request a server every time after being sat and waiting 15 + minutes. My boyfriend is black and has been singled out on more than one occasion for absolutely no reason and questioned by the bouncers. During one visit he was limping because he had just ruptured his Achilles, and the bouncer followed us to our table and tried to kick him out saying he was drunk and couldn't walk....it was lunchtime and we had our toddler with us! The bouncer realized he was truly injured and barely even apologized. No follow up from the manager or anything. This place is horrible and definitely not worth your time or money. There are several other restaurants close by that are worth your business. Would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Incredibly disappointed in the fact this establishment, clearly was not following Covid19 safety protocols this past Saturday, March 15. Given the rising rates of positive tests in our local school district, we chose to be safe and reserved an igloo located on the roof top only to find we had to navigate through a very large and unmasked crowd of non socially distanced patrons including the gentleman host/bouncer at the front door. We have consistently supported our local restaurants during this pandemic; however, given the fact they have not taken the Covid protocol seriously and may have very well initiated a "spreader event", our family will NOT be supporting this restaurant in the future. read more

Horrendous service; half of our food came out 30 minutes after the first half. I ordered Mac & Cheese and it was FREEZING cold. This used to be my favorite restaurant in Brighton but management and the owners have seem to have just given up. read more

Just ok for bar found, nothing to write home about. Wings were ok, pizza was soggy, not the best. Drinks were good though.

For a relaxed atmosphere and great menu of bar type foods - The Pound is a good destination

A local hangout among Brighton residents. Good bar pizza. Not so good salads. Being a California girl I'm not impressed. However, it does have the crowds and it's a casual friendly joint. Great on St. Patrick's day if you can get in. On Main Street. Take a stroll too. read more

Beautiful day so my husband and I took a nice ride and ended up here. The waitress was extremely nice and helpful. When our order arrived we were totally shocked by the quantity size. I had a calzone and my husband had a steak and cheese fold over sandwich ,needless to say next time we will pick one and split it. Both were very good , we will return when in the area read more

Nice atmosphere, lots of flatscreen tvs and very nice staff. Service was friendly and efficient. Beer selection was good and the pizza was pretty spectacular. Wings were ok. Would definitely go back again; especially this spring/summer as it has a wall of garage doors and rooftop patio. Update: sitting at the bar cam be brutal with one bartender. Watched waitresses at and around while bartender working ass off and my glass sitting empty. Simple thought...add another person behind bar. read more

They ripped us off by charging our credit card (which was asked for to run a tab)after we paid cash. At least six calls to the manager and it still has not been resolved. Watch out it you are asked to do the same. The food? Overpriced and average. read more

My husband & I tried this out about a month ago. The food that we got was alright, we just got burgers & beer. We like our burgers medium & they were a little underdone, but not too bad. However, the thing that was kinda not my style about the place was it kinda felt like a college bar. Maybe I'm just too old (early 30s) but the music was loud, it was very dark, the waitstaff seemed kinda busy with being social rather than helping customers. It does seem like it'd be a fun place to go to watch a game or to go with a big group of friends... like after playing a softball game or something. Looks like there is a deck too which is probably fun in the summertime. We might give this another try then, it just wasn't really what we were looking for that night I think. read more

The Pound is a Nice place to hang out with ur Friends.. Food has been good.. Service is good.. Nightlife is nice. Bouncer, tall with beard watches over the girls & questions any suspicious activity. I appreciated him.. Thx Nice place to check out anytime of the day! read more

The Pound flat out sucks. There are a handful of better places to visit within walking distance. Service is terrible. Usually disrespectful. The food is awful and the prices are high. read more

My boyfriend and I went here for a date night and the crowd was pretty young. They had a loud DJ so it was hard to have a conversation because everyone was trying to yell over the music. We sat at the bar to be able to watch basketball and had ok service but overall, it was just an average bar with an average atmosphere. The TV quality wasn't very good so I wouldn't suggest going here for to watch a sporting event. read more

I can't believe this place doesn't have better reviews! Such a cool rooftop atmosphere and beautiful view. I loved the salmon and goat cheese salad! Truffle fries are amazing as well and my boyfriend said his burger was delicious. Well priced too for the quality of the food and view! I definitely recommend this place!!! read more

I have gone to the pound on multiple occasions to enjoy its great outdoor patio for lunch or the rooftop for drinks at night. I had a wonderful experience last week for lunch with our waitress who was the best and had so much fun. Today I went for lunch and had the worst service I've ever experienced. I went inside to pay my bill in full and speak to the manager to explain that our server seemed to not know what he was doing and maybe needed additional help or training. At the same time another customer came to him with the same complaint. The manager's response was "well I've never had a complaint about him before, everyone has bad days" I would expect an apology for the poor service and to feel this server would be given the assistance he needs to learn his job appropriately. Unfortunately I will never return to this restaurant now after management had no regard for his customer or staff. read more

I had the special of the day. It was a personal pizza. Could hardly eat it. Very dry and tasteless. The waitress never came back to check on us. Never asked if everything was ok. Waste of money and a lunch out. read more

Loud, Loud and loud, while not making up for it all with exceptional food. This is no place to goo if you care what your companions are saying. read more

This place charges extra for drinks "on the rocks." $7 for Jameson and an extra $2 for "rocks." I hate this trend at bars. Plus, we asked for our checks three times before we got them, which added another 25 minutes to our stay. read more

Beware of overly aggressive bouncers working Friday/Saturday nights. My sister and brother-in-law did nothing to provoke the bouncer(s) or antagonize anyone in the vicinity and my brother-in-law was aggressively grabbed by the neck and physically thrown out by two bouncers while dancing with my sister (his wife) for no apparent reason. He would have bashed his head on the cement if he had not put his hands out to catch himself in time. He has a sprained wrist now and we are seeking legal action. I don't know if the bouncers thought he was someone else or the exact reason this happened, apparently he was dancing too roughly? But either way this is unacceptable. Never returning. Food is shit anyways read more

Not sure what the low stars are about, but I thought this place was great! The atmosphere is a little loud. Turn your TVs down...not necessary. But, the food was really good. We had the blackened chicken salad, breakfast burger, piedmontese burger, and steak dinner. No one was disappointed, and it was sooo much food. The place would be really cool in warm weather, since they have the sweet garage doors that open up. I'd come back. read more

VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED !! Stopped in on a Wednesday night after a concert at the Mill Pond to have a drink and decide what to do about dinner. Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals was on, so decided to eat there. I opted for the Mushroom and Swiss Waygu burger medium/med rare and a side/dinner salad for a fee ($2.99). I really wished I had taken a pic of my burger. My immediate response was... "Where's the beef?" I had a nice big Brioche bun with plenty of lettuce, about 6 pickle slices, and this little piece of beef with some Swiss cheese and I only tasted ONE mushroom. I asked the waitress what was up with this huge mismatch and she said that is only 1/4lbs. burger on that "special", which was $13! And half the burger was over cooked and well done. Girlfriend ordered boneless wings. She received 8 chicken nugget sized pieces of chicken for $10. I had 1 small Two Hearted and gf had 1 Moscotto and with tip we were at nearly $50...OUCH !! read more

Food isn't terrible but service is. The waitresses are too busy flirting with customers to notice if you need a drink. I hear the pizza is worth eating tho. This place seems to have cops swarming because of all the fights that go on late at night. read more

Phenomenal establishment. My brahs and I practically live here and have become very close with the staff. Quality food, a little overpriced for food and drinks but worth it for the experience. The only downfall is that we don't usually get greeted at the front door, we appear as alcoholics to the staff, and they don't make frozen drinks (the worst part). Plus no Poké Stop. Boo. Also they could keep a seat ready for us every night, but they don't. read more

The food was fine, but I ordered an appetizer that the waitress didn't write down, when I noticed I reminded her, it still never came, she never checked on us after we got our food. I might add that I killed 7 Flys while here for less than an hour, gross read more

Would be great if you served some non-alcoholic options like ginger beer or odouls. The waistaff is a little slow. I guess it's an ok place for the drinking crowd when it doesn't matter what you are drinking. Love the outdoor rooftop patios..nice atmosphere. read more

The food is just good. The service is terrible. I go for lunch frequently because it's easy and the bar is usually empty. The bartender will not ask how things are and will move at a glacial pace. The patio is the only reason to come here. read more

Great patio, mediocre food, and bad service. We ate on the upstairs outdoor patio, which had great atmosphere. Unfortunately, that is the best thing I can say about this restaurant. We waited a long time for food and were disappointed when it arrived. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, the wrap was OK, but the 1/4 lb. burgers were really bad. Like, frozen and worse-than-fast-food bad. The service was extremely slow and no staff members were attentive at all. It seemed exclusively staffed by lots of very young, very pretty, and very scantily-clad blonde girls. They were everywhere, chatting with each other and looking bored in their uniforms of skin-tight t-shirts and shorts. I'm all for a pretty waitress but, for god's sake, train them and keep them busy. If you are after a nice meal with decent service, you should go somewhere else. With so many other great restaurants in Brighton, I just can't recommend this one. read more

Beers, burgers, onion rings and some basketball. Makes for a great Sunday afternoon. I had a mushroom and swiss burger which was well spiced and on a super tasty bun. The onion rings were just like I like them - extra crispy. read more

Food was average at best. My youngest had Mac and Cheese and found a black hair in it. The manager took it off the bill, but the message was relayed via the server. Usually pretty standard the manager makes an appearance when there is hair in the food. It was around 80 outside and they need to crank up the air a little on the inside. For burgers and Mac and cheese the wait seemed too long on what it should. Plus side, they do have a good selection of beers and have tater tots (always a good thing), but in my opinion not enough to offset the average food and wait time to get the meals. read more

This spot was decent. Decent for Brighton. Maybe not the best food. The pizza was ok. But, a great spot to drink with some friends. The waitstaff is friendly and there is plenty of room for groups. It's the kind of place you go just to enjoy a day off. Good for sports I would imagine and wasn't too packed the night I was in there. I really had a great time and for me this spot wasn't the greatest but, more about the friends you are getting together with while at the spot. It's great for that kind of gathering! read more

Worst service I have ever had. Went out with two other couples and had the rudest waitress of all time. She was rude while taking our order, and after ordering a pitcher of beer which she had forgot to bring us comes back 2 minutes after 10 pm saying we can no longer order a pitcher despite ordering it before 10 pm and she forgot to bring. She further put a 20% tip on our bill of two people. After inquiring why there was a 20% tip on our bill she threw the bill in the middle of our nachos which were less than half gone and were still eating. Worst place ever! read more

Ate there last week with my family and friends. I was very excited about a new family friendly restaurant in Brighton. It was such a let down. Food was not very impressive. Nachos with very little cheese. Macaroni and cheese was no more than elbows with american cheese mixed in. Grilled cheese was a small hoagie roll with american cheese. Burgers were just ok, no fries included. Just chips. It was opening weekend and they were busy, so the service gets a pass, however the menu needs much improvement. read more

Food is decent, prices aren't outrageous, service is fine. Best part is the rooftop outdoor/shaded seating! Sometimes there's live music upstairs too! read more

Ate there on Valentine's night. Chose a booth but the staff seemed upset we weren't there to go to the bar. The food tasted pretty great, however I had food poisoning in the morning. read more

Food is decent...but my big issue is they have a Turkey burger and a beef burger on the menu, at the same price, but you can't get any specialty burgers with a Turkey pattie...that's the dumbest thing I think I've ever heard. If they're the same price, then what's the problem. That's like saying you can't get your burger with out tomato. This is yet another restaurant where owners and management need special training on how to actually take care of their guests. read more

Wow what a dive. Being on Main Street it generally appears packed so I had high hopes for this place and was let down in every way possible. No one greeted us when we walked in so we just wandered around until we found an open table on the rooftop patio. There was still empty plates and beer cans from the previous diners left on the table. We had to ask three waitresses before we could finally get the mess cleared, and even then she didn't wipe it down so it remained sticky for the duration of our meal. The beers were pretty over priced for a small town in Michigan. Our "loaded nachos" were just stale chips smattered in cheap nacho cheese with some iceburg lettuce on top. I couldn't even stomach eating half the plate. I will NEVER be returning. read more

We knew We were visiting Brighton and were looking for a place to meet our niece and her friend for dinner and drinks. After reading reviews for the local bars featuring food despite some bad reviews we chose The Pound. I have to say based on my experience I think the bad reviews were unfounded. Maybe I'm not as picky as some of the local patrons. Between the four of us we dined on two wraps, chicken wings, and a meat lovers pizza. All were good as were the Two Hearted draft beers. Our server Aubrey Anna was friendly and pleasant. I'm glad I didn't let the bad reviews steer me away we all enjoyed our visit and if we return the area I would visit again. read more

Good food and a cool atmosphere. Unfortunately, we went there on a Sunday and there aren't any drink specials on the roof!

I was with a group of 7 and we agreed the food was well over priced for average or below average quality. My $12 Piedmontese hamburger was ok but came with a sickly tomato with hard center. The portabella fries while unique we're greasy and little flavor. The waitress was nice but inexperienced. I asked her to tell the chef that putting that tomato on my hamburger was like putting hubcaps on a corvette.... Just wrong. Later, I asked for chefs response and you could tell she had not told him. So finally she tells the poor guy who made the burger and comes back and tells he said he was just doing what he was told! Two stars are mainly for location, atmosphere, and roof top area which was nice. Probably a great place for a beer and some bar food. read more
