  We live in the area and have tried  this restaurant several times and have always been disappointed.   Since I use very little salad dressing , I abhor wet salads.  The bottom of the plate was a pool of water.  But I suppose that could be a personal preference.  Ordered the New York Strip,  medium rare, cooked with no butter with mixed vegetables in no butter.  Steak came well done swimming in a pool of oil.  There are a good deal of "regulars" here, which is a good thing until you are trying to get your waitresses attention to return your steak and she is all involved with these regulars.  2nd steak came back medium -rare, also in a pool of oil with no seasoning and a unappealing grey tone not at all reminiscent of piece of meat you would expect from a restaurant known as a "Grill"    If I wanted a steak thrown in a frying pan in oil, I would have done that at home.  My husband had slightly better luck with the deep fried seafood but had to request extra tartar twice.  That being said, the many regulars seemed to enjoy the place.  Too bad!  I really wanted to like it this time

  Ordered the steak and shrimp last night. Asked for the steak to be cooked rare...arrived medium plus. The fried shrimp tasted like freezer burn, and the baked potato was meh. Everything was sent back except the salad and tomato basil soup.
  
  And a note about the seating. Get there early or you'll be standing if you want to actually see the band, or chat with the cougars around the bar.

  Was here last week to see a band.  They were good, and so is Packard Grill - I haven't eaten here in a while, but the service is great.  I ordered wine and they didn't skimp on the pour..   Great place to see a band!  Good crowd of people.  It was fun, I'll definitely get be going back!

  Yes, there are old people doing karaoke...but if you overlook that...or not, because it was AWESOME.  
  
  It's a combo family restaurant/bar.  Weird, I know.  Food was traditional but tasty.  I fed my Polish self with some delicious stuffed cabbage.  Huge portions for the price.  My hubs had the ribs, meh.  Others liked their fried goodness.  Draft beer was $1.50 for a 12oz.  Can't beat that.  Service was excellent too.  
  
  I wouldn't make a destination of it, but will prob be back since my temporary living situation is around the corner.

  I'm not sure that I would call this a sports bar.  Felt more like a neighborhood bar than anything.  There were several TVs on, but no actual sports on them.  I realize that it was a Tuesday night with no "big" sports games going on, but no ESPN News or anything?  Choices were Seinfeld, CNN, and some C Grade show that I couldn't place.  That aside, the ambiance isn't terrible for Shelby Township.  Strand Christmas lights and music that I'm pretty sure was coming from an actual boombox hidden from obvious site.  It appeared that the majority of the clientele were "regulars", but I felt welcome enough.  Food was pretty good, just not worthy of 3 or 4 stars.  However, the sweet potato fries were pretty outstanding (even for sweet potato fries).
