Diamond Jim Brady's

Had a very nice meal eating outside (sort of) while temps were below freezing. I had no idea they had outside seating in the winter but they do. I mean you aren't completely outside and it's totally shielded with weatherproof material and heaters. But you can see the outside of the building. It's temp controlled and unique. Our meals was very good. I got some type of bowl that was tasty. And the service was great too. I'll come back.

Calling this a local gem would be fitting, but also an understatement! This place has a long history of great food, drinks and atmosphere! Unlike things that diminish with time, Diamond Jim's remains excellent! I am enjoying the new menus and all house made entrees and desserts! The service is top-notch and the food is fantastic ! Our fabulous favorites are the DJB burger and the fish and chips. We also enjoy the southern fried chicken with gravy, mashed and green beans! A winner! They have great apps and desserts! Check out their "death by Chocolate" This place feels unique, comfortable, casual, but also with a bit of Upscale! They have indoor and outdoor seating and many patrons just post up at the bar for good conversation and superb drinks! Highly recommend DJB's!

Diamond Jim Brady's is the best bistro that exists in a strip mall. It has no business being so delicious, but there is room for improvement.ProsAmbiance: gives European cafe vibesDrink selection: nice to see Michigan wines listed. Had a knockout Riesling from Shade Lane Cellars. Would like to see more Michigan libations offered!Food: Quality, taste, variety. Even the house salad, that has a delectable vinaigrette and pine nuts, was much above average. I get a kick out of their descriptors; radish & pea rumble, pistachio dust. The food feels more elevated than the location.ConsService: from the host to the waitress, they all made my party feel like they didn't want us there. Were they short staffed? All stuck up? Not sure, but it felt unwelcoming and off brand. Gluten Free: The GF options are not available online, and the waitress seemed uncertain about which dishes were. Would be best of they listed this on their menus, if they change often/seasonally.Would I dine here again? Absolutely. Food is 5 star.Looking forward to trying the patio!

The Coulotte Steak was surprisingly between room temperature and lukewarm. It may have been left in the kitchen while the other dishes were read, but it was the last dish to be served at the table. I enjoyed the flavor but wished the temperature was warmer.I generally prefer brownies over blondies. The Chocolate Chip Pretzel Blondie has surprisingly plenty of chocolate for a blondie. When I took a bite, I could taste the blondie even though it was wrapped in fudge and provided a pleasant contrast. In addition to the hot fudge, there is the chocolate gelato in case the fudge fails to provide sufficient taste of chocolate.Sadly, the waitress decided to blame a particular colleague for a slowness in service. A couple times, she acknowledged that dessert was still being made. The second time, she decided to blame an unnamed employee who was in charge of making the salad and the desserts. She said it was her first day on the job. In my experience at other restaurants, the waitstaff would mention the "kitchen" was backed up but never point blame to an individual employee. When she forgot to bring one of the beverages, I am surprised she did not blame this same colleague.

DJB's has 69 years of experience and seldom disappoints.Dining companions ordered coulotte steak well done w/crispy au gratin potatoes. The kitchen complied. Tasty and thankfully, not over-salted.Salmon rumble was a generous portion of salmon, just a tad over-cooked and beginning to approach dry. The rumble is cashews, squash, potato and Brussels sprouts.Looking forward to "patio" weather!Isabel(la?) provided terrific, attentive and knowledgeable service.Will I return? Yes, of course.

First time here and we were in a group of 14. Had our own private area which was very nice (and heated). Our server was Tory and she was Johnny on the spot.Had a number of appetizers - Garlic Shrimp, Smoked Whitefish Dip, Calamari and more - all appetizers were on point.For my entree, I had the KFC - Korean Fried Chicken sandwich w/ cole slaw and sweet Asian chili sauce - this blew me away, as it tasted so, so good.Full bar as well, so drink up!I'll be back here, as the place is very nice, the service fantastic and the food was simply delicious.

I was looking for something a bit different. I found it. The ambience is cozy, intimate, quiet and classy. I was seated on their covered outdoor patio which was well insulated and didn't feel like you were sitting on a covered patio. Nicely done!The service was wonderful and she was very honest. Apparently my order was just put in behind a very large table. But she made me aware of the reason my order was taking a bit longer. Once I got it, it didn't last long. Very tasty and well put together. The flavor was perfect for the salmon. It would've been tastier if the veggies in the topping weren't cooked down as much. But that's my personal preference. I am looking forward to coming back with a special someone.

Menu was interesting with wide variety choices. Server was stuttered due to overloaded seating chart but made the best of a raw situation. Load non-conversational atmosphere with a truly local cliché clientele. Owner stopped by to check on our meal but came off a bit patronizing

This is just a general review from a guy that's been here a dozen time. GO HERE and order a cocktail: any cocktail (I prefer bourbon). When you're ready to order, take a deep breath and order anything. It's all good. You're at a fine restaurant and the menu and presentation reflect that.

Good service and food. Burger was excellent. Always a good meal at DJB's. Have been coming here for years s.
