Came during the MAHA playoffs- our group of people grew WAY beyond what we originally called for or announced. The staff was incredible. They accommodated the changes, our sever was AMAZING, the food was good and the drinks kept coming. 10/10 recommend read more

Too Ra Loo - BLT pizza - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, Michigan

Service great! Drink selection awesome! It's a Tuesday and around 4pm, so it's not busy. I ordered calamari and it was not good. I've had it here before and it usually is so good. It was mushy and parts of it taste raw. I'm positive the manager saw me grab a napkin and spit it out but then looked away. If you scroll through pictures for this restaurant, you will see how it's supposed to look. I will post on how unappealing it was. I did say something to the bartender. Waste of $13. I will be back and hopefully will be able to update my review with a good one. read more

Second time being here and it gets better every time. Order the blackened salmon sandwich and it was amazing! Love that they had the windows open on a beautiful day. The waitress was attentive, vibe was relaxing, and all the food was great! Will definitely be back. read more

Sat at the bar for a beverage and a snack.... White fish small plate delicious!! Server ! Had to ask for napkins, she gave us cocktail napkins. I then requested a couple of plates, and how about a knife?! Delivered w/o a smile ‍ I still believe...Tis the season!! read more

This review was based on one visit for happy hour for drinks only. I came here with a colleague after work for an audit. We came straight to the bar because we had decided on a different dinner destination. We sat at the bar and were greeted promptly. We didn't know what we were going to order because they have a good selection of beers on tap. We asked for a few samples and I am glad that I did. My colleague and I both ordered "Blow Your Face Out," which is a double-IPA with 101 IBU and 10% alcohol; it was an excellent choice for one beer on an empty stomach. "ROAK'S BLOW YOUR FACE OUT DOUBLE IPA WAS CRAFTED TO MAXIMIZE THE DARK CHARACTER OF HOPS WITH PINEY, TROPICAL AND STONE FRUIT AROMAS AND FLAVORS. WITH 101 IBU'S THESE HOPS ARE READY TO EXPLODE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOTTLE." This place was moderately busy when we arrived and was completely packed when we left. The service was good, the happy hour prices were fair and the beer selection was very good. Four stars! read more

Too Ra Loo - Blow Your Face Out - 101 IBU - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, Michigan

I also would only write this restaurant 2 stars, We came off the bike trail looking for a brewpub it was told about this restaurant. Attempted to lock our bikes to the railing in front since there were no bike racks the manager sent a young girl out to tell us we couldn't do that we had to welcome to a light post. I understand if the city won't let us do that but I felt the manager could come and tell us himself, the food was good they had lots of beer but we would not go back nor would I recommend it for anyone else especially the people on the bike path coming to town for lunch read more

Haven't been here in a while. Had wonderful fish & chips and everyone else here enjoying their meals. Friendly and quick service too! read more

Too Ra Loo - Fish & chips were yummy! - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, Michigan

Had a late night dinner at this restaurant. It is a nice casual place to hangout with friends and enjoy drinks, food. They have a nice menu with choices that are all appealing, not your average, run of the mill pub food. I ordered the TRL burger with onion rings which was generous in portion and delicious, nicely seasoned. My friends ordered the Irish nachos. This was very large - fresh fried tortillas chips with fresh toppings and white cheese sauce. The qty of brisket meat was very small compared to the amount of chips and toppings on the dish, but it was tasty. Drink menu is extensive- lots of craft beers, cocktails and a large whisky menu. Our server Jacob was great, he kept our glasses full, and was very polite and friendly. This is a nice, comfortable corner bar to hangout at with good. read more

Pleasantly surprised after seeing the overall rating of 3 and the pics of the food. I ordered the Fish and Chips which were plentiful, large pieces of fish and ton of steak fries. My friend ordered the Rueben and enjoyed it. The onion rings which are highly rated in other reviews were very good but the batter didn't stay together that well. We will be back! read more

First...and last time visiting. The food was awful, service was so slow, menus and tables were dirty. There are so many restaurant choices in downtown Rochester...don't waste your time or money here. I gave two stars because they had a really great 80's music playlist playing. read more

Great, attentive service but drinks were mediocre at best. We already ate and just stopped in for a few drinks.

Food 5 out of 10. Service 0. Manager is awesome. And this was at lunch time. Can't imagine dinner.

Stopped in for a quick bite prior to a highschool football game. Group of us order a couple pizzas. steak tips, and chicken tenders. The pizzas were really great, but the tenders looked the best of the night. Food aside, how can you not have Bud Light on draft? read more

If you find yourself in Rochester, hungry, and looking for a good time then look no further than Second St and Main! Too Ra Loo lives up to the hype and then some. As a local of Rochester I've seen restaurants come and go my whole life but TRL has remained consistent in quality, service, and just straight up good vibes. As a connoisseur of quality food I often find myself exploring the entirety of the menu. That being said I've been frequenting the battered chicken sandwich as of late. It has absolutely SLAPPED each time I've gotten it. Now if I may be so bold, I recommend getting a side of syrup to drizzle all over that bad boy. It really gets the palette singing praises. Wash all that down with a glass of Final Absolution and that's enough to turn any bad day into a good one. That meal combination is almost as sweet as the wonderful server Sarah! She's always on top of her game there. Super polite, considerate - and may I add - very easy on the eyes. Always great service at Too Ra Loo. 5 stars! read more

Had a great meal. Service a little slow, but food was good. Atmosphere was nice Wasn't busy as it was later on Sunday. So no reason for slow service. But good food read more

Sad to see Too Ra Loo continuing to slide downhill. We stopped in for lunch, but unfortunately were disappointed with the overall experience. The front-of-house seemed overstaffed, with several employees looking for work to do. This put off a bad vibe because it came across as hanging out. The kitchen service was slow, and when the food finally came out the sides were cold (fries). read more

Let's start with the positive about this place. The bar looked busy with a bunch of Plenty of Fish first dates LOL! Ok, now that we got that out of the way, once you enter beware the hostess looks miserable. Once you are sat at a table, you will then wait for a server to even acknowledge you are in their section. Once they do, don't expect water. Then you order a drink from the menu only to find out it's out (no worries, it happens). Then you order a food item from the menu only to find out it changes (no worries it happens). Then you realize you don't have water, silverware, plates, condiments etc. (no worries it happens). Right? Please say right? Then you see another table walked out because the service was so bad (no water, no drinks, no food, no service). Then you realize another table across the restaurant left unhappy as well. Then you see another table try to eat their appetizer without silverware or condiments. The you hear a table was charged incorrectly. My hearing is not great but so far that's 4 + 1 tables having an issue of a restaurant that had less than 10 checks (without counting the awkward POF dates). Not bad! It's rare to see a restaurant perform so poorly on the only thing they can control, themselves and their service. From the hostess, to the waitress to the manager, to whomever else was there, perhaps something other than the service industry would be better fit. read more

Super slow service for it being a Sunday night at 7:30 pm. I came with a group of six and was sat immediately. I enjoyed the open view with windows showing each side of the streets. The fries were cold, but the server came back with hot new fries. My salad was good. Worth $12? No. I'd order something different next time. Maybe I'd do a carry out next time if Im in the area. read more

Too Ra Loo - Willy boroughs salad - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, Michigan

The fish and chips had a plate full of chips with 2 small pieces of fish on top. Looked like I had ordered just a plate of chips. Also, the music is so loud that you have to repeat your order to the waitress. On the plus side, the Traverse City chicken salad was very good ... and there are plenty of beers to choose from. read more

I haven't been back here since they first opened. I liked it then but knew they had some work to do. That was several years ago now. My sister comes here on a regular basis. She loves their brunch. She knows all of the bar tenders. She was here the day the restaurants were shut down and stayed until they had no choice but to close. Lol. So when we came in, everyone pretty much knew her. The bartenders were quick to come and say hello. They were extremely attentive and very personable. They were quick to bring us our drinks and to keep the full. My niece wanted a fun "grown up" drink. She is 18. They all out their heads together and made her a fun virgin drink that made her feel special. Definitely went above and beyond. I ordered the chicken quesadillas. They were good. But I wouldn't order them again. Nothing was wrong with them. just too many peppers and onions for my taste. Overall this was a very fun experience and it was great to have bartenders that were so happy to go the extra mile. Oh, one more thing. I was worried about parking. I thought for sure this would be an issue and that we would be walking pretty far. I was surprised to see that parking was simple and close. They have parkmobile parking so you pay on an app on your phone. Quick and easy! I'm going to take my sister's word for it and come back to try their brunch. They said they don't have the bloody Mary bar going right now because of COVID, but they do have mimosa specials. Whoop whoop! read more

I'm writing this review in hopes that management will make some changes for the better. My husband and I used to live in downtown Rochester, we recently moved about 15 minutes away for a shorter work commute due to a job change. Too-Ra-Loo used to be "our spot" 2 years ago. We went back tonight and it was really sad because I'm not sure we will be back again.... We waited ~10 minutes before any server came to our table and the place was not busy, we walked in and were seated right away. Our 2 person table was awkward, it did not push all the way up against the wall because the stand at the bottom hit the wall before the tabletop, was worried I was going to lose utensils or my phone in the crack the whole dinner. I had the nachos, they were good aside from the canned chicken on them. No canned chicken, ew. Otherwise had a good amount of fresh tomatoes, green onions and peppers. My husband had the TRL burger. We used to get the burger alll the time and it was the best burger in town. Now, the patty has changed. It's thinner, dry, overcooked. We had the sautéed calamari for an app, that was actually pretty good. The cinnamon sugar dip for the sweet potatoes fries also changed, but not improved. The music was TERRIBLE. SO BAD. It ruined the vibe. It was 7pm and they were playing Taylor Swift Lovestory and Backstreet Boys. If I wanted to listen to terrible music I would go to Main Street Billiards. That's not dinner music. This place has so much potential. There is no theme or identity to the place. Not sure we will be back... read more

I love going to this place! Love the location. Love the feel inside. Love the garage doors to allow open air. Beers galore. Food is always great. Our server, Justin, was nice and offered the perfect amount of service. Checked in when it needed to happen. The hostess was nice and removed our final plate when we were finished. Seemed like really great teamwork amongst the crew. I had the Baci, it's sausage in a pasta with cheese and some sauce, server with garlic bread. It's really good! It has just the right amount of spiciness, you can still taste your food but if you aren't partial to spice (usually I'm not), it may be too hot for you. I like to order mild spice on my Thai food if that helps. The man had the chicken and fries dinner and ate half and took the other half home. Portions are good size. I was hungry so I ate all mine. #foodbaby read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service at Too Ra Loo. I visited with a handful of friends around 3:00 on a Friday. The waiters were very attentive and served drinks and food quickly. I ordered the quesadilla with chicken. It was served with an guacamole and sour cream. The quesadilla was fresh and loaded with chicken. It wasn't overly cheesy, which I really enjoyed. Too Ra Loo is doing a wonderful job at keeping up with COVID standards. It was very noticeable that the menus were washed between customers (you could smell the bleach on them) and all workers had masks on. The restaurant itself has two massive garage-style doors that were open to circulate air. read more

Always in the mood for their chicken fingers and pizza! Love when Jessica helps us out with our carry outs. See you again soon!

They have a ton of beer and a large whisky/bourbon selection..the service was unmatched, my servers name was Jordan, she the one that looks like Lana Rhoades read more

I have been coming to Too Ra Loo lately and have had an amazing experience each time! Jordan has been our server the last couple times and she gives wonderful service. The food has been exceptional as well. Make sure to pop into Too Ra Loo if you're ever in the area and request Jordan! read more

This is the worst place and the service sucked so bad I'll never go there added gratuity. I would of never tipped she dumber waitress didn't know how split the check I needed up paying $70 for dish and chips this place can go F#*k themselves. I hope this place goes out of business. read more

Excellent atmosphere and greeted with a smile. It went downhill from there. Hubs and I went for lunch. Bartender was surly. Efficient, yet surly. Beer was warm and way overpriced. Hubs and I each got sandwiches. First time I have EVER gotten a sandwich with ZERO chips. ZERO. Food was decent. Salmon sandwich was loaded with teriyaki. No butter on my bun requested, SURPRISE....butter on my bun. Didn't waste my time complaining because again, bartender not friendly. We're not planning on visiting again. Oh, $2 upcharge on bill to cover our visa. read more

We came into the restaurant at about 430 on a Thursday. I had my vested service dog with me. We were heavily questioned about my service dog. Questions that are not by law allowed. We left! Up until now we have always enjoyed this restaurant. The manager said that the health department had been in the day before and she said something about having taken a class about service animals. If she had she would've known not to ask the questions that she asked read more

Too Ra Loo has been on our bookmark list for quite some time and I'm glad we were able to finally dine in last weekend. The restaurant/bar is super huge - something I wasn't expecting. It seems like you could always be seated without a wait with how many tables there are. The open window seating was a fun sight-seeing touch. I ordered the Pretzels and Beer Cheese as an appetizer, and unfortunately, this is what brings them down a star as we only got two seemingly-microwaved pretzel sticks with the biggest bowl of beer cheese. We had only used 10% of it and decided to keep it on our table to use it with the rest of our order. Either more pretzels, or less cheese. Hard to pay that price for what we got. As my entree, I got the Lafayette Pizza. Sooooo good! Very tasty thin crust pizza, which seems to be their calling card. I want to try different variations of their pizza in the near future. Our service was great - a little slow during the end when trying to get our bill. read more

This is a good place to come if you just want a drink but if you're coming here for just dinner, it's not great. The food is overpriced and not anything great. The pops tasted watered down. Both the coke and sprite. The ranch was good though. read more

I have been coming here for a couple of years . Great food . Always new choices on the menu. Great drink menu. Large beer menu. Excellent Service . Manager Bob always treats us like family.

2nd visit .. not as good as the first. Service: 0/5. The server seemed to have a massive chip on her shoulder for some reason. I mean ... if I wasn't with my family I would have had some choice words. It physically pained me to leave her a tip. Food: 2/5. Caesar Salad: ok Bacon Breakfast Burrito: 1/5. Kind of gross really. Fish and Chips: 2/5. Chicken Tacos: 3/5 After this last experience I doubt we'll be back. read more

Came here for lunch, it was my first time, and I will be honest with you, it will be my last. I understand Rochester/Rochester Hills has some sort of inferiority complex when it comes Birmingham and Grosse Pointe, but my goodness, they are going to have to up the food game in this town to even be considered. When mainstays K&M are still the best thing in town, you have to ask why the food revolution hasn't reached these boundaries. Could it be their no dancing rule? I grew up here, and I have a soft spot for the well being of this downtown as I spent a lot of time here before there was anything to even to do here, but my disappointing is constantly recurring. Add Too Ra Loo to the recent disappointments. First let's talk about the price, everything is at least $2 over priced for beer and $4 for food. Secondly let's talk service. Our bartender was very nice but not very attentive. We did not come at a busy time, there were only a handful of people in the restaurant and only two others at the bar. Finally the food, it was as about dull and plain and flavorless as you can imagine. I get it, you're an Irish bar with irish standards but in this day and age it doesn't mean you can't try to modernize it. Anyway, based on location, I will probably return, but not with much enthusiasm. read more

Horrible service. No server ever came to our table, sent one person to the bar to grab our FIRST drinks of the night and was kicked out because that person walked slowly to the table with 4 drinks. How ridiculous. Doesn't look like we were the only ones that have been greeted with poor management there. Will not be back. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. The food has been consistently terrible. I've really tried to give this place a chance but it has always proven to be a disappointment. NOT an Irish Pub, nor committed to being authentic as one. This is the third time I have sent food back for being inedible. When I spit out more than I can chew, this is the red flag to throw in the towel. The service is decent and the beer selection is fair, but not enough for me to ever back. Slán a fhágáil go deo! read more

Menu says "breaded" onion rings and that's what we've ordered in the past and have received. They have obviously changed the recipe as what we received tonight was "battered" onion rings, not "breaded". As someone who loves onion rings, there is definitely a difference. Very disappointed in the onion rings and won't be ordering those again. The only reason I'm giving anything more that a 1 star due to this is that Sara was sweet and gave perfect service. read more
