Hamlin Pub — Restaurant in Rochester Hills

Dear Hamlin Pub,

I don’t know how else to say this, so I’ll just come out with it—I think I’m in love with you. Or maybe it’s just your wings. Either way, what you’ve done to my taste buds is borderline illegal. From the first crispy, saucy bite, I knew I was hooked. You don’t just serve wings; you craft edible love letters, and every flavor—from your spicy infernos to your tangy barbecue—feels like a personal serenade to my soul.

Your wings have ruined me, Hamlin Pub. No other wings will ever compare. They’ve set a bar so high that even my dreams now include perfectly crispy skin and the sound of bones being cleanly pulled from tender meat. They’re so good I considered writing a will just to leave them everything I own. Sitting there, surrounded by your TVs, good vibes, and draft beer, I had the fleeting thought: “This must be what heaven feels like.” And then I ordered another plate, just to be sure.

Hamlin Pub, you’ve got me questioning my life choices. Is it normal to want to quit my job and become a professional wing taster? Can I move in and just camp out by the kitchen? You’ve made wing-eating an art form, and I’m your most devoted gallery patron. Until next time, my beloved chicken-slinging hero, know that my heart—and my stomach—are forever yours.

With saucy love, Your #1 Wing Fan

P.S:...

We went there for drinks and appetizers to celebrate. The server who never introduced herself (a blondie with some skinny eyebrows) forgot to place one of our orders. After she disappeared for half an hour she shows up with the check while we were still waiting on the four cheese appetizer. And she had the nerves to say oh yeah it’s coming when we asked about the order. She left presumably to get the appetizer for us while one of the managers came back to apologize. He said they burned the four cheese, but they’re making it now, and it will be on the house. Then, ten minutes later (while we were still hoping for the appetizer to arrive) the server shows up with the check on her hand again telling us a different story from what the manager said. It was so very awkward. It would have been much better if she admitted she forgot to place that order. We’re humans and we all make mistakes, and it’s ok. But trying to fool people to make yourself look good it’s not ok. Especially when it comes to customers. We drove half an hour to have a memorable family time at the Hamlin pub we consider a gem in the neighborhood only to be fooled by the server. Not once but twice Never going back there...

Food was great!! best place in town to get siracha burbon wings. Service on the other hand was in between eh an okay. Sat down waited a few minutes got our drinks. Typical until we started ordering food. Was told the toppings on the garden salad(server flat out said she didn’t know but it should have cucumbers and tomatoes and croutons. Croutons in fact didn’t come. I proceeded to ask if French dressing was available. No, understandable. She came back about 10 minutes later. My friend asked for a ranch. Simple. The server then said i’ll grab you one but in the mean time there’s already ranches in the other baskets. While her other item got ice cold She never came back with a ranch my friend used the ranch from her other item for her salad. While watching her walk back and forth through other tables as if we are not a table. No refills on water or anything i’ve watched her run back an forth even seen her sitting down never got the ranch. Honestly feel as if she believes we weren’t going to tip or anything we are the only one of her tables she has been like this with everyone else gets smiles an laughs not us. I’m a server as well an every table deserves to have the same...
