Sign of the Beefcarver

Let start with the service. The gentleman slicing the beef was helpful and friendly. The woman at the end of the counter was rude and aggressive, like she was mad we didn't know how they do things. The man taking the payment wasn't paying attention.The food. Ok I went there for the beef and mashed plate and it was good, au jus not gravy which was ok but watered down the potatoes. However the Mac and cheese and broccoli with cheese was horrible with orange slime for cheese sauce. Fish was soggy and dry at the same time.The decor had old world charm and I didn't see cobwebs or dust.For 2 people it was $36 plus tip for cafeteria style without soda, not worth it.

I decided to go to Beefcarver for the first time in about 15 years. The staff was very friendly, obviously catering to the after-church geriatric crowd. Great, service. Ambience was very quiet.I got the roast beef sandwich, mashed potatoes with gravy and a slice of cake. The sandwich was bland... very little seasoning and the gravy was more of an Au Jus, which didn't work for the taters.The bottom line is, I realized why I haven't been there in a long time.

This restaurant was a piece of my childhood. I remember going with my grandparents on a Saturday night. They do have the best roast beef with mash potatoes. You do have to ask them to warm it up, but still the same as I remember it. You get to pick your sides. And don't forget the pickles. An ex thought it was a buffet, but sadly no. If you like old school cafeteria then you are in for a treat.

Dont know if i caught them on a bad day but it needs to be all about the food and their meat was drier than the dessert that day . Dont open for business if you haven't tasted everything you sell before giving it to your customers is all i have to say.

Wow! This place is truly a gem hidden in plain sight. A failed trip to Trader Joe's led us here and, again, WOW! Fresh buffet and wonderful, friendly service we've not experienced in a very long time.Do NOT skip a trip here, sooner than later.

The classic Roast Beef at a Detroit (in Royal Oak) standby. Food was delicious and just like it has been for over 50 years. Waitstaff was attentive and cheerful. The restaurant looks like it has been frozen in time, which is part of the experience. It is a cafeteria style service, you choose your meat and potatoes. Then you can select salads, sides and desserts.

I stopped here for lunch and ordered the Roast Beef Plate. It is served cafeteria style, and I chose Mashed Potatoes and Gravy along with Mac n Cheese along with Corn.The service was quick and very friendly. You can tell the servers have been working there a long time. The beef was tender and juicy. The Mac n Cheese was a little bland and the corn was fine.Overall, the price was a bit on the expensive side, but not outrageous considering the quality of the meat. I will stop here again.

Fantastic! I have driven by here just about everyday and have always wanted to pop in & I'm so glad I finally did. A friend and I were grabbing dinner before a show in Royal Oak and this was a fantastic meal! There was such a nice variety and I love the old school feel of being able to pick your own food off the line. The price of everything was great too! Can't wait to be back!

Service and atmosphere were sublime. My fiancé and have lived right around the corner for years and finally decided to stop in for dinner. Food was exactly what I expected: church cafeteria food. Not the best you've ever had but worth the price. The sides were "fine" but roast beef dinner was great! The main reason for a 5 star review was the service and ambience. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere was peaceful and quiet, reminiscent of a time that I thought was long gone. I am in my late 20s and definitely preferred sitting here around a bunch of happy old people as opposed to being around the chaos of most modern restaurants. Will definitely be back!

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. We drive 45 minutes to eat here at least once a week. The French dips are the best in the world and all their other dishes are phenomenal! I'd also recommend the scrod fish. All the employees are super nice and friendly! I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars!
