Classics Tavern

When it’s good it’s great. Went on a Saturday night in September & the closed the place and asked us at 9:30 to leave by 10. Other times it’s a blast. I don’t get it. Same with the food great sometimes & not so at times.

We went to see our friend’s band play and the place was packed. The drinks were strong and cheap but the service had to be hunted down and the food wasn’t very good. My fries were limp and sad, and the fish and chips portion was surprisingly small. This place is good if you consider it a food court in a bowling alley, but if this is supposed to be a restaurant it’s very sub par. The live music was great, but I’m biased!

This is one of those places that you do not know exists. Great bar with a nice outside seating area with fireplace. I can see coming here in the late fall cozying up to a fire. Friendly staff, too. They also have a great craft brew list.

I love this place for their pizza. It is amazing and being a Type 1 Diabetic, this is one of the pizzas I can eat without it messing up my bloodsugar. The wait staff is very nice and the outside seating is very relaxing in the summer. Best kept secret in Downriver is Classics Tavern for Pizza!

The food is very good. Was going here weekly during summer months. Very nice patio area except for the smokers area so close to the dining area. The service was fabulous at first however I feel it has gone down hill. The last few visits we had to go to the bar to get our own drinks.

Place looks great. Service was wonderful. We went here for my birthday. Back story…
A few weeks ago we stopped in to bowl. Place looked great had fun. The head chef came out to tell us how good the food will be if we came back to eat.
Long story short, worst 12+ dollars he has ever paid for a burger. After talking to the head chef a few weeks ago I thought it was going to be wonderful. Not even close. I asked my server for medium with my special toppings (of course I was charged for each) I was soo disappointed. It was extra well done and dry as a drought and they actually topped it with a tomato that was as underdeveloped as the cook who prepared it. Won’t be going back.

New restaurant, was hesitant to go as it is inside a bowling alley. Was very pleasantly surprised, the décor is beautiful. Brand new with outdoor screen enclosed seating.
I ordered a flavored martini, was weak with no sugared rim or garnish for $ 8.00 My guy gotta beer, much more reasonable. Huge selection on tap.
I had the pasta of the day with shrimp, delicious, with plenty of shrimp. He had the burger with tasty fresh cut fries. The table next to us had pizza that looked amazing, will try next time. The cedar plank salmon sounded good too.
Service was wonderful. Prompt and extremely nice! Would give four stars but had to drop one because they have created a smoking area that’s right next to our table. Smoke was blown at us while eating, eww. We’ll go again for sure and try more yummy food, just be sure to sit away from smoking section.
