★★★☆☆ Decent food, but forced gratuity and noise levels were a turnoff
We recently moved our office to 12 Mile and Northwestern, and while moving wasn’t ideal, the upside is I’ve got plenty of new food spots to explore. I found Red Balloon Saloon on Google Maps—it looked promising, so I met up with a buddy there after work.
First impressions were solid: the place looks good inside, with plenty of TVs and even a pool table. We grabbed seats at the bar and started to settle in—until I saw the sign saying they add a mandatory 20% gratuity to all tabs. That’s a big issue for me. If tips are guaranteed, where’s the motivation for good service?
Unfortunately, that concern proved true. It took a while to get our drinks, and we had to flag the bartender down to order appetizers. I got the cheese sticks and my buddy got the catfish. Both were tasty—no complaints on the food.
The biggest downside? It was insanely loud. So loud that my Apple Watch actually alerted me about excessive noise levels. It made it really tough to have a conversation, and we ended up leaving early. Even cashing out took longer than it should have.
While it’s conveniently close to my new office, I don’t see myself coming back. The forced gratuity policy and overwhelming noise make it a one-and-done for me.

This place is great for a quick bar bite, music and a strong drink. Lately the crowd has gotten a lot younger and the servers have changed. The server attitudes have changed and that’s not a good thing. Their drinks are always strong, but there’s a difference between strong and terrible and that’s what we had the last time.
We brought this up to our server and she started to argue with us that the drinks here are always strong. We told her we’ve been coming here for over 15 years and always order the same drinks, but this one need a tweak. She was just combative and ignored us the rest of the night. This was different from the usual wait staff who are always friendly and helpful. The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious.

Let me start by saying this: our waitress Verdina S. is so rude. I come here often and the reason why my friends are so reluctant to come here with me is because of her. Every time I come here, she breaks my experience. Her attitude is terrible, she doesn’t smile, say “you’re welcome”, she doesn’t check in on us and every time we ask for something she has an attitude. Maria and her daughter are excellent waitresses. I will tip them on top of the 20% gratuity. But Verdina makes me sure to never come here again. She is costing this establishment their business. I hope they get rid of her OR train her in customer service.

It was so packed in here. I had to share a table with a couple who gave up his seat for me. My food was nice and hot and delicious. My drinks was fire. I know next time to come early. Excellent Service……..

Neighborhood bar and grill with decent bar food and friendly atmosphere. Go in the evening and they have good music playing as well. The chicken tenders are freshly breaded and fried.

Nice hole in the ball dive bar. Very chill. Bartender was great. Food was out fast but limited on sauce types. Tuna melt was just warm, the cheese wasn’t melted. Soup was very good. Worth trying out.

Very nice neighborhood strip plaza type bar and grill. Mixed crowd with many people being regulars. Music is mostly R&B and Hip Hop… new and oldies. I have only tried the tuna melt so I can’t attest to the food. That’s usually what I get. But I did see some good looking salads come out. There is a pool table also and plenty of table seating. Very nice staff!

Overall, really good place. Maybe our waitress was having a bad night. She was not approachable nor professional.
She never smiled or made us feel welcome in the establishment. The ladies working the bar were much more personable. Drinks were onpoint. Recommend green tea shots.
Food was meh?? Chicken strips were inconsistent. Onion rings were soggy.
I would return, but maybe sit at bar or different area, where more friendlier staff were waiting tables.
Although lots of parking, spots are small/tight

Great vibes while I was out of town. Good strong drinks, good pool players and nice food. My type of hole in the wall. Music was on point.
