The Moose Preserve Bar & Grill

Don't write many of these, but whenever I come in town for business, this eatery is what makes me happy to step on the plane (not a knock on the city at all - just really like The Moose Preserve). Whether it's a quick lunch (just about any burger-type meal is great) or ...a full dinner (ahhhhh, shepherd's pie), The Moose Preserve and their staff are great. Don't just take my word for it though - go check it out. See you there. Read More

The Moose Preserve has been a staple of my families diet for past 3 years. With a kitchen that closes late every night (11 Sunday-Tue 12 Wed and 1 Thur -Sat) it is a convenient family friendly place to have anything from Burgers, Mexican, steaks, wild game and of cours...e world famous chocolate chip cookies. It is a place that is good for all occasions from Palace Events to a Holiday meal. \t\n\t\nThe bartenders always pour the best drinks, you never feel cheated when the bar tab gets a little high. It also has the best drink special in Bloomfield Hills with half off drafts on Thursday night. \t\n\t\nWith friendly staff I highly recommend the Moose Preserve \t\n Read More

Yeah, it's supposed to be healtier than beef... But that just makes you feel better about enjoying it so much! Great staff, always fun, The Moose Preserve is a great place to hang out. Lots of good stuff on the menu, but, of course, the Buffalo is recommended!!!

I was back in town this weekend and stopped by The Moose Preserve, my old watering hole. This place is a staple, great food, friendly and fast service. Now that we have kids the fast is important. The kids spent time playing with wiki stix (a pretty cool alternative... to the whole crayon thing) that entertained them so we could enjoy our meals. \t\n\t\nWe enjoyed our lunch on the outdoor patio that was not there 15 or so years ago. This is way cool and a must for outdoor dining. Hope you will enjoy the outdoor dining while it lasts and save room for the famous chocolate chip cookies, they are served hot which is the key to the best part about the cookies. I have now made my wife a Moose Preserve fan. Read More

I used to be a regular eating there 2 to 3 times a week.\t\nHowever about a year ago, we had a bad incident (ignored by the staff). \t\nWe decided to give it another try (could have been a bad day, everyone has them). I brought a few other people with me and we sat on... the deck and service was horrible.\t\nThe final straw was earlier this year when I was charge well over 2x what the item cost on the menu. I didn't notice it till later that night. Three strikes and you are out. \t\nManagement was going to take care of the first two incidents with a gift certificate which I never received. I was informed management was going to take care of the blatant overcharge with a gift certificate too. I haven't seen that and it's been months.\t\nThe food is very good and that and the service had me as a regular for years. But, something must have changed there via ownership or cutbacks to cause it to go from a 5 star place to a 1 star. Sad. Read More

Stay in Birmingham or Royal Oak. Stay away from this place. This once old-faithful eatery has changed for the worse. Recent complete(?) turnover of staff and management can only mean one thing- New and not-so-friendly owners or some drastic and un-needed change in philo...sophy. It's apparent that the name, building decor and recipes remain. The food seems the same, however the staff seems over-worked and painfully under-trained(lack of simple menu knowledge, wine, desserts). I hope you have time to wait due to mysteriously long waits for tables, even worse on certain nights (concerts, high school events). Give it a try. You may like it. I'll spend my hard earned salary in Royal Oak, Birmingham or Rochester. \t\nGo MSU! Read More
