Great neighborhood type brewery! I will preface this by saying I actually don't care for beer, but…read moreI appreciate that this bar does offer cider and, my favorite, a delightful sparkling rose! The interior is spacious (no ac though so watch out when it's a hot summer day) and well lit, is good for gathering groups of people and there appears to be one food truck always parked outside offering food, today I believe it was a slider truck! The outdoor patio is also a great size and there is a parking lot that is a decent size, but if you don't find it there then street parking (with no pesky parking meters) is available which is awesome. I also was reading that this brewery may host events from time to time which is cool, love how they are very community based and aiming to create and foster connection!

I will preface this by saying I didn't order a pizza. That being said I ordered the grilled cheese…read morewhich touted mozzarella, pesto, baby spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes on sourdough. I opted for the garlic fries upcharge, bringing my total to $19.00. Somehow I justified it because I like these toppings and these toppings weirdly weren't available on a pizza. Or at least I didn't see it via the phone based ordering system. Yes, that's right, this is all of the future check with wrist bands and pour your own beer situation. Don't look for a paper menu, they ain't here. My sandwich wasn't a grilled cheese. It was basically pesto toast with large sun-dried tomatoes and scraps of mozzarella. Baby spinach was just missing. I did inquire to the host (perchance the only actual employee?) and he did talk to the kitchen and I guess they were out. With that information I turned to my friend Robert and said, "You know why we have servers? So they can let you know they're 86 spinach." I suppose I would have adjusted my order had I known this too. What's nuts is, they have ingredients to make a better grilled cheese. I mean, step one: add cheese. Why not mix the ricotta and pesto together and then add like havarti or something that may actually melt and have flavor. The sun-dried tomatoes should be sliced smaller. The garlic fries were fine, but also could have had more flavor. Robert's and neighboring table's pizza looked fine. Is it better than any other place offering Detroit style pizza? Hard to say. I guess I'm not in a hurry to go back. The kind host did make an adjustment to my bill for lack of spinach--but having a server would have prevented that being necessary.

I was heading home hungry when I passed Elephant & Co, a restaurant I had on my radar for months…read more It was way past lunch and well before dinner, so I was surprised by the steady stream of customers in this pizza/tap/game room, a difficult genre to define. Upon entering, the staffer explained the set-up to enjoy a variety of beers, poured and priced by the volume. Located at the back of the restaurant, customers can select beer flavors and serve themselves, no bartender needed. A tab is started and charged based on usage, tracked through the wristband provided to you. I ordered over mobile via a QR code, selecting pretzel sticks with beer cheese dip and a large, Detroit-style pizza. The soft pretzels were tender with a lovely crusty exterior. I inhaled the first pretzel since it was past lunchtime, savoring the salty, cheesy bites. I must admit, the pretzels' saltiness temporarily affected my taste buds because the pizza had little flavor, even with the pepperoni, sausage, and olives. I definitely did not taste the hot honey drizzle. I want to praise the light, airy crust. For a deep dish pizza, it did not sit heavy in my tummy. I also appreciated that the pizza was served on a rack, to allow air circulation and to prevent sogginess. The space was dark and had both large communal tables and smaller, intimate tables. This allowed for larger groups to enjoy community beyond a friend group. The other plus is the board games that are available to pass the time while enjoying various beers.

This is an order at the counter spot, so you grab a menu, place your order up front, and they give you a buzzer when your food is ready. I ordered a drink and the chicken Caesar wrap, which came out to $21. The chicken was grilled really nicely and had a lot of flavor. The wrap also comes with a jalapeño Caesar dressing, which initially threw me off since I am not a spicy person, but it ended up being delicious and not spicy at all. I stayed until about 5:30 and more families started coming in and there were quite a few kids around. There is a small playpen area for kids that is not padded, and watching a two year old climb around with no adult looked like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Overall, I had a good experience. The food was solid, the vibe was nice, and I would definitely come back again.

It's an easy place to settle in, whether you're grabbing a drink, meeting friends, or easing into a weekend. I love that they have brunch now, and it's legit. The Dubai pancakes are a must--flavorful, indulgent, and straight-up beautiful. They also know how to properly scramble an egg, which sounds basic until you realize how many places mess that up. We eat with our eyes first, and the food here always looks as good as it tastes. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. Great drinks, great food, great vibes. Definitely a go-to spot in Royal Oak--and one I'm always happy to highlight as @DonnyLB on IG/TikTok. Check me out and check this place out.

My boyfriend ordered this burger that was entirely raw and cold in the middle. $23 for the burger and $17 for a tiny plate of nachos I got for myself. Additionally, I tried the soft serve lemon drop (which was $17) and it didn't taste like it had any liquor in it. The one good thing I have to mention is the service, our server was incredible and took care of the issue right away, but he did tell us it was the second time that day that there was a raw burger, which is unbelievable, We will never be coming back here, and I severely warn anyone that wants to go to not order anything with meat.
