Experienced an unexpected and ugly passive aggressive bout of racism. I work for one of the big 3 at a nearby major research and engineering facility. I heard rave reviews about the burgers, so 2 of my workmates and myself ordered 3 burgers and fries friday evening. We picked up our food and after surveying the bar, we decided to eat in the restaurant area. We paid them sat at a table where we were ignored by the waitresses for a good half hour. One of my companions stopped a waitress, (after shed walked past our table for a sixth time), and informed her we would like to order sodas and get some condiments. We watched in awe as 3 seperate waitresses purposely avoided looking towards our table while serving everyone else around us. We sat for another ten minutes until we were completely frustrated and left. It looks like a great place, as long as your the right color. Thanks for reinforcing the SAD and UGLY reality that in here in America in 2016, racism is alive and well. Eat a dick.

After a hard days work in the ford plant, I figured i oughtta settle down at my favorite sports bar. But It changed alot. Upon arrival with my family and kids, one of the workers was drunk and kept using NSFW language around my kids. It was a trainwreck. The food was sub par, and thats being generous. And Ed, Im not coming back to your establlishment every again unless you get your stuff together hire a half-competent custodian and learn how to clean up the bathrooms. I cant even think in my mind a time I will ever want to visit again, what with the foul urine smell that riddles the bathrooms and the surronding area. I gave my son 1 dollar to try out one of the arcade games, and it ate the dollar. upon asking an employee for assistance he told me and i quote: "&@^! you you inbred psycho!!!" I hate this place. never coming back. 5/5 stars.

The food here is fantastic. Oakwood has the best wings in the area for sure. Go on Tuesdays when its $0.50 bone-in wings or Thursdays when its $0.50 boneless wings. They have a ton of wing sauces to choose from too - my favorite is the garlic parmesan. Oakwood also has really good burgers and sandwiches. Sides arent included with burgers or sandwiches, but I recommend getting a side of curly fries or tots to split if you go with a group - theyre so good and its a pretty decently sized portion. The salads are also really good - their caesar is fantastic, and the Fly Southwest is one of my favorite things on the menu. The only downside is Oakwood doesnt really have any good happy hour special, and the drink prices are kind of high. On the weekends they sometimes have live music too!

My wife and I go to the Oakwood a couple times a month. The food and service are usually great. However, today we stopped for a quick dinner and we were disappointed. It wasnt unusually busy but after being ignored by the wait staff for over 10 minutes, I had to chase a waitress down. We should have just left. I had to chase her down again to get the soup I ordered. It had been sitting and was barely warm. Our waitress could have turned the mood around, but the rest of the dinner she was surly and curt. She spilled my drink and barely made an effort to clean the table or apologize. The service for the rest of the dinner was more of the same. It will be a while before we eat there again!!

Good food but I had to wait 5 minutes before anyone talked to me. I enjoyed beer battered fish and chips. The beer was pronounced which is a good thing. The fries had garlic or onion powder which have it great depth and mace them very addicted. I wasnt thrilled by the coleslaw but overall the meal was great. The fare is typical american: burgers, chicken, pizza etc. It was packed when I visited at noon. I waited at the bar for nearly five minutes to place my order and no less than five different girls and one guy passed me without saying a word. The girls seemed nice but I didnt like the wait.

I think the food is very good for a bar and grill, I am thinking Applebees or Max and Ermas ish.. They have new weekly menu list outside their normal menu that always keeps it new. The staff is is solid and very responsive. I think only 1-2 times it was slow in 3 years and still it was good. The Oakwood Grill is our goto place for after work parties. If you are going for lunch go at 11 if you can, because of Ford. I am not familiar with the place for dinner or after hours. They do have good TVs for sports, but I would not call it a sports bar.

Usually a good experience but this time awful. My friend ordered a burger med well with side salad, my boyfriend ordered the the tenderloins med and myself the 8oz center cut med rare with side salad. Our salads came out with our food and please tell me why my steak came out more done then both the burger and the tenderloins, maybe because she didnt write anything down... Not a good move. No ketchup was brought but she disappeared to ask for any. Before I was done with my food she brought the bill. It was a Monday not busy, but service was awful.

Okay, I cant believe how good the food is here. Not only do they have a selection of lunch and dinner options that are different from your typical bar & grill, but the presentation makes it 10x better. This place gets pretty busy for lunch, but they do an excellent job of getting your food to you quickly without sacrificing any of the quality. All of the TVs and the billiard table make it a great place to go to on the weekend to catch a game and hang out for a while.

I live in Detroit on the west side and there are slim pickings for food, I can tell you. So I ventured to my neighbor city. My first time there was a Sunday evening. A very rowdy bar. I did not expect that. Corny 80s music, but it fit. Beer selection: Good. Bartender: Very good. She knew when to check in. Food: Good to very good. Had the Reuben. Above average. I will be coming back.

Awesome food, even greater service, perfect for date nights or to have a couple drinks with friends. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your order/ service they will fix it with a smile and compassion the service goes above and beyond. It is not a typical bar and they offer way more food options than most. The bar tenders are friendly and will small talk with you. Great establishment!

1st time here on a Saturday afternoon. Service was good. Food was good - boyfriend got corned beef and he really liked it. I got beef sliders and they were supposed to come with grilled onions & they werent on there : (. Very expensive coffee drinks - $9 each - much higher than normal so beware.
