The Royal Oak Brewery - Royal Oak (MI)

5 /5 Mr3dPHD: Really cool brewery in downtown Royal Oak with a full service restaurant menu. Beer was quite good, and I really enjoyed the food. Its late November, and they had a pretty legit Santa walking around talking to the kids which was a lot of fun!

5 /5 Mateo Gebon: I tried a flight of the beers at the Royal Oak Brewery, and I thought it was pretty good. The space feels rather like a pub, and it’s a comfortable, welcoming one. I sat at the bar which is backed by their brewing tanks. The staff seemed friendly and I was served fairly quickly. I passed on the food this time, but the menu looked good. The beers I tried were great, and their kölsch might be one of the best of that style I’ve ever tasted. All the beers seemed to be of good quality, however, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. This seems like a good place to hang out for a while with some friends.

5 /5 Gregory Butera: Great beer with an emphasis on traditional European styles (like German and British) brewed by a very talented and award winning brewer, along with a nice mix of fun modern beer and ale styles so there is something for every kind of beer drinker. The food menu is always top quality, the happy hour food specials are a nice touch, and the bar and wait staffers are super friendly, meaning you can often see the regulars perched on their barstools, as they keep us coming back.

4 /5 Alexandra Srnka: Bartender was very nice and friendly! Food was about what you would expect for a brewery, I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and it was good! The beer was ok but I am biased because I am more of an IPA person. Overall would recommend!

4 /5 Louann Wojtalik: I liked that I was seated immediately even though there were a lot of customers watching a game. The server was very nice and attentive. My meal was a disappointment though. The hangover burger needs a more sturdy bun. Because of the toppings and sauce, the bun fell apart. I had cut it in half, but it was still a mess to hold. The pickle spears didn’t have enough breading on them, and it was falling off. I had asked to substitute ranch for the garlic dip, but that didn’t happen. The server realized it when she brought me a takeout box, and offered to bring ranch to go. I didn’t have anything else to eat after I left, but a couple hours later my stomach started to feel queasy, so maybe one of the sauces was spoiled.
