Rochester Grill Family Diner — Restaurant in Rochester Hills

I was ready to leave a decent review because the food wasn't bad but ended with THE WORST experience possible. The owner was clearly trying to rush me out by cleaning and clearing my table, reaching over me to grab trash without saying excuse me while I was still eating another plate of food. After I finished my meal I was sitting for a moment, finishing a game on my phone and drinking my beverage and contemplating getting a refill.

I catch snide remarks from the couple next to me about how I wouldn't get up to let others sit down for a busy restaurant. I was there for under a half hour, paying customer like anyone else, and this couple started cursing at me and saying how I act self entitled and not compassionate for others because I didn't leave immediately. Utterly gagged from the situation, I tried to complain where the same owner was like what do you expect me to do and acted like I was complaining about him when it was only the other patrons treating me like that as the issue, and the owner reaches over to do this awkward fist bump on my hand on the table to try and make it okay, which I did not extend or offer in exchanged and I don't want to be touched like that nor does it help the situation. Garbage patrons and an owner that wants to rush people out and not worry when others are being harassed.

Avoid...

I do not recommend this place at all. Three bad experiences with the same restaurant can not be a coincidence. 1. My first experience with them: I called and asked if they had spagheti with meatballs (My son wanted to eat that), they assured me they did. We went and realized they didn't have meatballs. I let that one go. 2. I called to place an order for pick up. They told me it would be ready in 20 min. I got there and the waitress hadn't even ordered it. I had to wait with my kids -one baby- in the car. At that point, I decided not to come back again. Being the fact that we live less than a block from there, and that there were two hungry kids after soccer game, we decided to eat there and give it one more try. 3. We were charged for refills! My kids refills for chocolate milk was $4.50!!! (2 refills) . The drink itself is not even $2, plus the kids drinks were supposed to be included in their kids meal!!! The waitress did not even attempt to do anything about it, despite the fact I told her I had never been charged for refills before. She pretty much told me, "this is how we do it here" and left. I know we will definitely not come back...

We tried this place for the first time since it seemed to have decent reviews. First off, the staff that greeted was was friendly, & so was the server. The menu had lots of options to choose from. We made our selections & then the wait began. It wasn't very busy but we felt like it took quite a bit of time for our orders. When they arrived, it looked as though our plates weren't full. The problem here is, they have these giant platters & they choose to barely fill them. For the price they're charging, for a hole in the wall family restaurant, they need to work on their portions or invest in smaller plates. The food was mediocre. I'm not quite sure how they can call their chicken marsala that title because there is nothing that resembles it in appearance or taste. Wish we would've taken photos.

We had initially planned to go home & make something but we decided to stop here instead. About 2 bites in, we both wished we had just gone home. Definitely do...
