Ordered the ox tail sub sandwich and a Philly sandwich. Oxtail the gravy was too salty. It took away from the meat. The fries was hot and crunchy which was good. The Philly was good, needed a little more cheese and sauce but it was good. Would go back to try other things on the menu but wouldn’t waste my money on the oxtails again.

Great place for burgers and wings! The interior is very nicely designed, staff were very helpful and friendly.
Their Pierre burger is huge! Came with 2 Ribeye patties (option to choose turkey) AND 8oz of lobster. It was juicy and so delicious! The spicy garlic wings were good, loved the sauce, great for those who like their food spicy. We also tried the corned beef egg rolls and those are a hit with my husband! Everything we ordered came with fries, they were perfectly seasoned and very crispy! Definitely check them out, and try their cherry pineapple lemonade! You’ll never want regular lemonade after that!

We did a random Google search for a new place to eat because we were in the Area. I had the Philly chicken, I liked it. The portions were bigger than what I thought they’d be. The staff was nice and the service was quick. I will come back and try something else next time.

My son and I wanted to try this place for a while and decided to go check them out today. They were a little busy. Our wait time was about 20 minutes. I ordered the tropical infused chicken wings and fries . They were very good. The wings were falling off the bone and very flavorful. The fries didn’t have much flavor, maybe because I asked for crispy fries. ‍♀️ My son ordered the burger and fries. He said it was good . I would come again and try something different. I also loved the frozen strawberry lemonade ! It was amazing ! I will try a different flavor lemonade next visit as well. Maybe the peach if they have it.

Delighted to try the new seafood spot. A little difficult to find. The GPS mapped to a different address. However, the atmosphere was bright and very clean. The food was well seasoned. We had the seafood egg rolls with fries, lobster bites, and slushes. The cherry/pineapple slush was the bomb. Seafood egg rolls were stuffed with a great sauce. A dipping sauce option would’ve been nice. The lobster bites were plentiful but lacked butter a little dry. The service was top notch! A nice take out only spot for seafood treats. Love the decor. Desserts were not available to try. Wish they had a dine in option.

I visited after seeing so many reviews on facebook and Instagram. I got the king oyster mushroom bites and it came with fries and a small cup of sauce for $22, I also got a frozen strawberry lemonade.

Food was hot and fresh but there was no flavor on the mushrooms, the handful of fries had more flavor and seasoning which was a disappointment. The lemonade was good. I’m vegetarian so my options were limited, I probably should have done the salmon bites since that’s the review that made me want to try it out and hopefully you get more fries with those.

Let’s please start with the UPS!! Very clean and friendly staff! Now off rip, the Amish Wings with sticky sauce was this meals SAVING GRACE! Wings had great meat, crispy outside and flavorful sauce. Aight let’s hit on the missing stars…Fries… way too soggy/limp (had to air fry to get them alive) and stale tasting. The delux burger, I personally was not feeling that at all. Flavors in the burger build (cheese, sauce, etc) was not it FOR ME and salty. Dessert was good, been sitting awhile based on appearance and texture; but good! Space inside is SMALL but they had 3-4 high tables with only 1 chair at each. This was the test run before ordering the lobster sandwich and I’m not sold it will be worth the price reference this trip.

Hey everybody, I’m back with another restaurant review. I give honest reviews and that includes the good and the bad.

I visited a restaurant that is new to me, The Smackin in Redford on 8 mile near Beech Daily. After seeing a TikToker rave about this place I wanted to try it. I went on my lunch hour and I’m glad I ordered ahead via a online ordering app. I waited in my car until the alert came through that the order was ready. I went in and the order wasn’t actually ready. It needed a few more minutes even though the app told me it was. Definitely pre-order so you can get your food in a reasonable time. There were a lot of people in there waiting for their food. There were some small circular high tables, but not a lot of seating available. I definitely consider this a carryout spot, so it was a car lunch kind of day.

At first glance the food looked really good as you can see, the lobster grilled cheese sandwich was placed on a bed of fries. You can tell that the bread is toasted. Looks really good right? At first glance, yes.  But when I picked up the sandwich and turned it over, the first thing I noticed was that it was burnt. Absolutely burnt! Big red flag for me. I did not like that, but I went ahead and took a bite anyway as I was already back in my work parking lot and there was no way I was going back to the restaurant and be late to work.

The sandwich tasted bland to me. Very heavy on the butter which made it greasy, unfortunately it was also very light on the lobster flavor. You could physically see the lobster but the flavor wasn’t quite there. I don’t know if it was drowned out by too much butter or maybe it was the burnt bread. Whatever it was, it overpowered the lobster. Also, I don’t believe it was 100% lobster meat. I think there was possibly Langoustines in there to help beef up the lobster filling. Had the sandwich not been burnt, it probably would have tasted a lot better.

I love a good for fry. Unfortunately these were softer than I  prefer and they were missing salt all together. They did not provide salt in the bag so soft unseasoned fries it was. Which also wasn’t the best impression.

I ordered a “fresh lemonade” on the app and it did not indicate that it was a frozen slushie style flavored drink. So when I arrived and I was given a choice of frozen flavors, I was surprised because I didn’t want a slushie. Regardless, it was pretty good even though it didn’t taste like lemonade. I had two flavors mixed together and I liked it but it was very sweet as one would expect. So overall the meal was greasy, under seasoned, and sweet from the drink. Not my favorite combination.

I had such high hopes based on the review I had seen. Sadly this was a fail for me. Especially for the price tag of the sandwich. The lobster grilled cheese is ($32) and frozen lemonade ($6).  I was pretty disheartened by the fact that they would actually serve a burnt sandwich that cost $32.  Will I go back? Very unlikely. Maybe my visit was a fluke?  Either way, I was disappointed with my lunch.

The food was great. I had the Eiffel Tower (salmon patty with lobster), and it was amazing. Fatso burger was great.
The steak and cheese egg roles are to die for. Also ordered the garlic parmesan wings but wish it was dry rub with parmesan and not a sauce. Fries that came with the meals are just basic, nothing special

I wouldn’t plan to eat there if you go. There are about 5 small tables with only 4 chairs or so. We did eat there, and about 10 people came to pick up and go.

It’s a very small place but the food is well worth it.

Saw this on Tik Tok and decided to give it a try. I ordered the seafood egg rolls and they were very good. The egg rolls came with fries and they were good as well although a little softer than I’d like. The customer service was great. They spoke when I walked through the door and the cashier was friendly. There isn’t much room to sit if you decided to come to eat there with a group. The chairs there are very light so be careful when you sit. Parking wasn’t a issue when I went but I can see it might be hard to park on a Saturday. The menu prices are a little higher than I expected but I wouldn’t consider them expensive if your eating alone or with a mate. Overall I definitely recommend eating here especially if you just wanna try something. I’ll definitely come here again soon.
