Orchard Grove Tavern - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Delicious food, outstanding and friendly service. Felt right at home with such warm waitresses. If I come back to Michigan I will absolutely stop by here again.

Delicious. Do it. Steak and cheese was tender, hot and made glad I found this little gem. Service was great.

We've enjoyed this place in the past and this time, noted new owners. They didn't skip a beat, same excellent quality food, friendly service, reasonable prices, and nice atmosphere. I wish the new owners success - you can tell they are working hard to do their best and please their customers. We'll be back for sure. Thank you! Updated after re-opening recently - Once again, they have served up great food. The perch dinner is the best we have had and we travel to many places in metro Detroit. I also like the atmosphere also and notice the subtle improvements being made. We'll keep returning for certain! Sept. 2021 - Just finished the perch dinner and they just seem to be getting better (i.e. still the best in area IMO). If you enjoy excellent quality food and service at a reasonable price, this is the place to go. I could rave about the perch, the zucchini sticks or the cottage fries...but I plan to try something different next time.

Had not been here in years. The food is still great. I had the shrimp. & it was excellent

Awesome food Love the French onion, the Filet Mignon , Burgers the list goes on!!! Give this place a try you wont be disappointed

This place is truly "a hidden gem" just as they describe themselves! This food is outstanding, the drinks are so delicious (inexpensive compared to other restaurants I go to) and the service is great! They are working to update the decor and struggling to find employees, but I am not impatient and it was totally worth it! Very personable and friendly owners, will definitely be back!

Edit on my old review: We ordered carryout during the pandemic and the food was just as good as it was in the past. I don't know what the inside looks like because I wasn't the one that went in and grabbed our food but my wife said it looked the same. Prices were still the same as 3 years ago and we received just as much food, even doing carryout. Would have liked to sit inside and ate our meal but with covid we were unable. Prices are a bit high but the ambience is amazing. If you're looking for somewhere to relax and eat a good meal than this is the place for you. The waitresses are great and remember most people that walk through the door. Not only is the staff great but so is the food.

Loved it. !! Excellent food as always. !!

Nice little place, great service, good food

Just ordered perch dinners through Grubhub. The perch was fantastic. The potato and coleslaw were great. And the bread tasted homemade and was to die for. Highly recommend this place.

Very good hamburgers. This is our second time there, wait staff are great. We will be making this one of the places we have dinner at frequently.

A bit pricey, but good food. Been eating here since I was 12 yrs old.

Food was really hot when served. Very fresh buns. Meat was very tasty and excellent quality. Definitely be back soon!

The new owners are awesome- they kept the previous menu and added some fresh, new items as well! The service and food quality are outstanding. Hubby had perch and I had grilled chicken pasta salad. Highly recommend this little hometown gem!

We ordered the shrimp taco special and a fried chicken dinner. Both were absolutely delicious, especially the tacos! So fresh and flavorful.

New owners did it right! Service was outstanding. Had the chicken fried dinner, it was finger licken good. A nice quiet atmosphere to enjoy our dinner and conversation. Will definitely go back.

Stopped in to sample Michael and Marco's wares at their recently purchased restaurant. Merrie had the jumbo shrimp and I had the lake perch. The seafood was fresh and excellent in flavor. The batter was light and not greasy and did not detract from the seafood in the least. The sides were well prepaired and tasty. Finally, finished the meal with their pineapple cake which was delicious. The bartender made a mean bloody mary as well. All in all, it was a great experience at a fair price, and we will be back.

New owners, really great food !

This place is amazing to say the least. The new owners great, hard working individuals. My wife and I eat there at least once a week, along with family and friends. The food, desserts and drinks won’t leave you disappointed. The weekly specials are an added bonus to the already great options they offer, with an updated menu also! If you are in the area, this is a most stop to location!!

My first time there and was greeted by the new owners. Great atmosphere and they made me feel like had been going there for years.

First of all outstanding food the great staff excellent service downright great people a pleasure to have them in our neighborhood as I would call it my corner gem stone

Absolutely great service... The food is awesome...I do believe the new owners are going time do well😍😍😍😍LOVE this place...😁😁😁😁

Great food. Fish was fresh, not frozen. Was surprised to see swordfish on the menu and even more so to see it tasted so good. Place is a bit worn but food made up for it. AND they have a bar, so was nice to have a glass of wine. Was talking to the waitress and told they're new owners and would be remodeling over time. Will be going back.

It is extremely hard, to find a good place to eat now days. The owners of this place are going to do wonderful things, here. They truly car about their customera.

Think "regal beagle" . Come up and visit Jan and Chrissie. Good food including the Perch

Orchard Grove is the best place to eat they got great food

So sad they will be closing at the end of this month! 36 years plus! Such an amazing atmosphere that you can't recreate or buy! No matter the money. Absolutely stunning good food, great people and best places ever! Again so sad they are closing, and new place will be here but so glad was there towards the end!

First time there. Good crowd, food was great, so was their service.

Tried Orchard Grove Inn and their food is okay and place is fine to stay with.

I enjoy everything about this place.

First time perch& cod dinners to go where great.Great service

Great food. Awesome people. Very friendly

The place was a little dim but the atmosphere was calming. The wait staff is very friendly and ready to help. The food was great and you're not rushed.

My girlfriend lives in the area and was wanting seafood. I came across the restaurant on Google. She said she knew the place because the restaurant and patronage never suggested much. I told her that we can just try it out. You get there and everything seems basic. Very friendly staff and older but quaint decor. Looked over the menu there were several items that interested me. Several reviews mentioned the perch so i tried it out. She had fish and chips. Let me say the Perch ws excellent. Perch is one of those fish if it isn't cooked right it sucks especially when fried. Coating was properly seasoned and the fish was light but moist. I thoroughly enjoyed it with the cottage fries. Finally i heard the waitess discuss the desert list with some customers. I was willing to check it out. All i can say is there were tears. .. I had the bread pudding and she ordered the upside down pineapple cake and we shared. The pineapple cake was moist, perfectly banded out with just the right amount of sauce and cake. It comes out warm and just melts from your fork as you enter your mouth. Then... the bread pudding. Made on site. It's perfectly warm cinnamony rich bread balanced with apples and raisins with a whiskey sauce that makes you shake with joy. The cream on top cuts I'ts down to make the perfectly sweet dessert bite. Overall excellent. Will be going back to try more items

Love a family owned/operated business!! Pnut butter cheesecake and bread pudding was amazing!! Walleye was delish! Service was great! Would have bought a whole cheesecake to go, if they had it one!

Smaller portions of above average food, salads don't have cheese, but plenty of bread and veggies with dip at no charge. It's a bit odd that there is a $3.99 extra charge to pay by any type of card. The lighting is fairly dark in this windowless dining atmosphere.

Excellent perch dinners, try the key lime pie

Orchard Grove has outstanding food and great service and friendly I recommend them highly

Great food and great service. I love this quaint little restaurant. They are so friendly. I try to eat there when traveling to/from Detroit.

Food was awesome, service was great and they offer a cash discount! Menu is small but they do it well.

The food was really good but the portions could be bigger okay

Great staff! Very friendly and helpful. Food was ok. Over priced and small portions 3.99% added to bill unless paid in cash

Amazing food and prices! Great atmosphere and the service is the best. Wonderful people. We will definitely be back!

Always good, employees always friendly, food always very good. Good desserts on weekends

Best perch you'll ever have! Drove all the way from Colorado to have dinner here, never miss an opportunity to have dinner here!

The food was delicious in my opinion. A little bit pricey but worth it. It's a bit aged in appearance it has that old barn bar look about it self. I would recommend it as a return place to eat.

Great family owned restaurant, intimate atmosphere!

Best food in town!!! Perch is amazing!!!!

Excellent food, waitress, Jenny, was wonderful!

Excellent food. Great staff. Yummy desserts!!!

Great food and service, just takes some time to get your food. Try the fish!

Great fish, known for their perch. A family run restaurant favored by the locals. Interior is very dark and dated but the food is delicious.

Awesome potatoes and fish, especially the local options (perch, Canadian pike!). Very friendly staff.

The grilled salmon was fantastic!

Great food, great service, great portions. Grt here early especially during lent. Fills up quick.

Excellent service with Jen and the fish dinners were fantastic! Highly recommended!

Always a pleasure - good food, great family-run business!!

Just all around great every visit, don't go in if your in a hurry.

Food was great. Not a quick in and out. But the food and friendly service was worth it.

They have wonderful food and incredible homemade desserts on the weekends!! The biggest and best shrimp I have ever eaten!!!

Place to eat during a park and fly at DTX. Service was very friendly, decor is dated but clean. Perch dinner was good but not excellent, definitely a older local crowd. Value is not good but if you like perch I don't think you will be disappointed. Short drive from Merriman Rd motels but I don't think I will go back for $70 for the two of us there are other options.

Quiet Friendly Neighborhood Restaurant If you’re staying by DTW and tired of the hotel restaurants and Leonardo’s (also very good), you should try the Orchard Grove Inn a few minutes south. It is a quiet friendly neighborhood restaurant about 5 miles south of the airport/I-94 on Middlebelt Road, out in the country. It is an older establishment that is very popular with the locals but there are a few business travelers there too. They are closed by 9:00 so don’t plan for a late meal there. The food is traditional American fare with a nice selection of fried and broiled seafood and grilled chicken and steaks, all served with fries or potatoes (sorry, no veggies). They are famous for their perch and I agree. It was as good as any perch I’ve had anywhere. Other reviewers mentioned the whitefish, but they were out on my trip, so I’ll be sure to try that the next time I’m in town.

I took my wife and another couple here for dinner on Valentine’s Day 2014. I can tell you the service was great and the perch is to die for. We’ll be back. ++++++
