Royal Inn Bar — Restaurant in Royal Oak

I'd give it zero stars if I could. Mouthy bartender on Saturday nights. Can't find her? She's outside sitting and smoking. Need a drink? To bad! And that's what she will tell you! Don't dare ask for water or She slams down a whole pitcher so she doesn't have to bother with you. Never have I seen such unprofessionalism in my life! Don't dare put money on the jukebox if shes working because she just skips your songs or turns it off completely so people can "watch football".... Not a sports bar and it's not played through the speakers so you can't hear the game on the TV anyway, so why no music? And if you have the nerve to try to talk to the bartender or ask questions, she just throws your tab at you and kicks you out! The other bartenders are GREAT but one rotten apple spoils the bunch. If your looking to get cussed at, cut off, or not served, this is where you want to be Saturday nights after 630pm. Won't be going there anymore after years of going unless she's...

If we ever want good bar food, this is where we order from. I've ordered delivery from here 4 times in a single week... Not that I should be proud of that but this place is that good. We've had their chicken tenders (4/5 tad too much salt) BLT (5/5 highly recommend) patty melt (5/5 great) pepperoni sticks (5/5 amazing app) grilled chicken sandwich (5/5 grilled chicken was juicy and tender with good flavor) potato skins (hard to give a score, they weren't as good cold so probably better ordering there) and we usually get chips (it's a bag of lays, they should really consider making their own) or fries (3/5 needs more seasoning, but we salt them ourselves). I've ordered delivery 6 times on GrubHub... One day I'll go visit in person, just hard because it doesn't look like their seating can accommodate more than a table of 4.

If you want bar food, go here because I don't think they have anything bad...

Solid dive bar all-around, it's nice to walk here and have a few well-priced drinks and eat some decent bar food for pretty cheap, especially compared to other Royal Oak/Clawson bars. Cassandra is always a delight, i don't know the other bartenders by name but they're all good at enriching the experience. I've gone here with friends and by myself, the crowd is usually pretty friendly and good to chat with. Their cheese sticks have gotten me in the door more than a few times because they're...
