The Bowery Grille & Pub

The staff was friendly and the bar was clean and empty. The food was typical fried and unimportant. Nothing wrong with the place, but I don’t need mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders to chase my PBR’s anymore. Not interested.

Stopped in at about 4:30 for early dinner and some drinks before settling into the hotel right next door. Super convenient in that aspect, we even mentioned maybe stopping back at the end of the night. We got burger sliders and a large chicken nacho each were good and above what I would expect from a divy type bar. Prices were great for food and drinks, under $ 50 for the two of us inc tip. Our waitress was nice and attentive when we needed it. And food all around us looked delicious as well. Laid back & low key environment. Liked it overall and would go back in the future.

Really good burger & fries! Nice alternative to my other fav burger joint. Closer to home! Enjoy my friend…

If you’re gonna get Maranda as a server, don’t even bother coming here. She spent the evening chatting with some guy a few tables down. We couldn’t even get our check. A disappointment for sure. The onion rings were delicious but I will never ever be back.

Beer was great. The naked wings were delicious. Lots of nightly specials. Thursday night is all you can eat seafood. I may have to try that out. Small place but great environment.

400 cigarette butts outside t front door, busted up flooring and doors, place is dark and nasty looking, 8 guys hangin on t bar, none were eating, no women, at rush hour. I had 2 bottled beers and left, afraid of what t kitchen looked like.

First time there, and thought it was great. Friendly staff. Good, solid, well prepared food. Nice crowd. Looking forward to returning.

We stopped in here for an unexpectedly late dinner after a long day on the road. We were hungry, bordering on h-​angry, and did not want to cook when we arrived home. While there is no dearth of options on Ford Road, I try to stay away from chains, and options are more limited toward 10 pm.
I liked the large high top tables and the setup of televisions for this type of bar environment. It wasn’t too loud, so we were able to zone out watching some ESPN, but still talk to one another as desired.
The draft selection is reasonable and rotates. I had a Leinie’s Summer Shandy which was the perfect temperature and carbonation level.
We had some chips and salsa to stave off our hunger while we waited for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised that the chips were freshly fried, not just straight out of the bag. They weren’t anything too special, but being fresh and crispy goes a long way. My partner had the sirloin steak with a baked potato and vegetables. It was cooked just as he ordered, and he said it was well-​flavored. The potato was solid and the vegetable was mixed color string beans, a great choice for this time of year, and different than so many places that just have broccoli. I enjoyed my barbecued chicken salad. The chicken was still warm and tossed in barbecue sauce, so I didn’t need much more dressing. The combination of ingredients was perfect.
Based on the good level of service and quality, price of the food, I was surprised that this place wasn’t busier. Maybe there are just too many choices on Ford Road, and this joint doesn’t have the right gimmick? Really this should be a great spot for locals, so check them out.

Me and my sisters had lunch here since it was pretty close to her house and the food was amazing. We started with appetizers, which we all shared. We had the cornbeef egg rolls, which i think is the best i ever had, steamed mussels and chicken nachos. I ended up ordering the Cajun shrimp pasta and it was great, there was a good potion of shrimp and they use on it was really good. Our waitress Katrice was so nice and on top of everything, i would definitely recommend them for a good place to eat.

Went here with my brother and mom, who was visiting from out of town. She had heard good things about the all you can eat crab legs so we thought we’d stop in. My brother and I each got a steak, and they were pretty good and decently priced.
The crab legs, however, were a different story. The first batch came out ok, although very small in size (but we get it, it’s AYCE, so that’s expected). Unfortunately the second plate of legs came out microwaved, or should I say overcooked. They were soggy and wouldn’t crack using the cracker. They were nearly impossible to get into, and once she did, she wasn’t able to get anything out of them. It was painful to watch, and incredibly disappointing.
For $ 27.95 it was definitely overpriced. It should have been more like $ 17.95. Or, here’s an idea– supply freshly prepared legs to people paying $ 30, and more like $ 40-​$ 50 with beverages.
Service started out ok, but this is definitely a place with younger female waitresses focused more on the tables of men there after work than anyone else. The longer we waited for our food and bill the more blatant the flirting got, and we were getting more ignored. The service is absolutely nothing to be impressed by.
Overall, we will never go back and will never recommend this place to anyone.
Severely disappointed and completely unimpressed.

Went for the all you can eat crab special they have on Thursdays. I ended up ordering nachos, my wife had crab. They brought out a pretty decent amount for her every time, however there only seemed to be two waitresses working at the time and it would take a long time for ours to come back around. It got loud around 6:00 with what seemed to be their regular customers filling up the place. The nachos were very «blah», and it looked like every table in the place had a severe wobbling problem which gets annoying very fast.
Not sure if we’d go back since there are several other places that offer all you can eat crab that are a bit nicer with better service and tables that don’t make you feel like you’re on a carnival ride.
I will say that the two waitresses did good considering how busy they got.

Only had nacho’s and shrimp very good and the food presentation was great staff friendly thanks Canton, MI for the warm welcome

I’ve been coming here for a long time. The Bowery actually used to sponsor my boyfriend’s softball team and we would come up here after games. Ever since the restaurant has been redone and restaffed, it seems service has gone downhill. I wont discredit the food, it’s excellent here, but the service is what makes me never want to come back. They have probably 2 of 10 pleasant servers, and they don’t work there too often. The bar owner is usually there, but never seems to address the rude staff, EVEN AFTER I MENTION SOMETHING TO HIM.
I met some friends up at the bar and waited 20 minutes for them to give me a menu, after I had asked! It seemed like they were ignoring me because I was a female. The man sitting next to me got frustrated that I was waiting so long that he said: «I believe this girl wants to order» … in which the bartender replied «I’m working on closing out tabs» … So that right there tells me her only concern was making money not focusing on decent service. My friends ordered another round of drinks and I was about to give her my drink order and she walked away. Never giving me a drink for the entirety of my stay at the bar! I was in disbelief. When my food came, I had to sip on my friend’s drink.
It’s a shame I was treated so awfully, I usually tip very well, because I, myself, am a server. They’re lucky I even payed for my meal.

Service was pretty slow. Steak was cooked well but under seasoned, served with powdered mashed potatoes and previously frozen veggies.
Pretty much what I expected. Come if this is what you are after.

Food is terrible!!! Especially the French fries, always burnt or cold. They need to change fries. Hamburger patty wasn’t good quality meat. Service was not great either. The only thing they do good is the crab legs.

The specials are reasonable. The food is good, but as with most American food it was too greasey (thankfully not too salty!). The sliders were probably the best value they were bigger than expected. The service was alright. We did go in the middle of the afternoon so I can’t tell you what dinner service would be like.

I came for lunch… the service was friendly and my food was great! I will definitely be back for dinner soon!!!

Alright, Bowery… I’m gonna upgrade you.
I like your wings. Other than the one poor experience I had a while ago, your staff is very friendly.
I like the remodeling that you’ve done as well.
For that… here you go. Boom. Another star.

Surprisingly good. Don’t often have burgers these days but the $ 5 Monday deal was too good to refuse. I had the Black and Blue Burger (regularly $ 8.75) — it was great. I also added a salad (crisp and fresh) and a Redd’s ale (cider — really good). Service was good and my waitress was excellent. Planning to go back Thursday for the all-​you-​can-​eat crab (really!!! In Michigan!!!)

It’s an alright place…
I would say it was more mid-​aged people there — unfortunately I don’t fit that category yet.
I went right after work around 5:30pm to redeem a Groupon off. There was a new waitress on shift and they only had done the Groupon deal only a few times. They were unsure how it would work or if I needed to buy a drink first; but I had $ 20 that I had to spend. **Of course in the fine print it stated I had to dine-​in.
I ordered two meals — so the waitress brings out the sandwichs which one I was eating there and the other sandwich was to suppose to be for carry-​out. The waitress was nice but her service was poor because she didn’t know the meal; she kept saying «i don’t know». **I gave her a break!!!
Well when I was cashing out — I asked «WHERE’S MY FRIES FOR THE TWO SANDWICHES?». She said you don’t get fries and then of course I gave her the confused face because the meal said «fries with every sandwich» — so she verified and came back then apologized with two fresh hot fries.
**I might review this place later in the future (maybe) only if another deal comes around — if I was paying full prices, then I might be a little more upset about the waiting.
