The Emory

Service - great.Ambiance - good. It was a little chill, but it was also cold outside. There's a bar area, tables and chairs...plenty of seating choices. There's aloa a little "lounge-like" area which is ideal.if you're just coming for drinks.Food - I'd say so-so. We came for brunch My friend had the chicken and waffles, which he liked. He did say the waffle was a little soft, like it was the first one off the waffle maker. You know how it is when you're making waffles at home...they don't get really good until you've made a few.I had the early riser - scrambled eggs, pepper bacon (you choose your protein), sausage gravy and biscuit, slice of french toast (you choose your bread). These best thing on the plate was the pepper bacon (nice and crispy, plenty of pepper, but not too much), followed by the potatoes. The French toast was okay as well, but the spread they serve it with (cinnamon butter?) was definitely a miss. Just go with butter and syrup if you order french toast, you'll thank me. The eggs were okay, but reminded me of the premixed eggs you get in the carton. The biscuit with "house-made sausage gravy"...no, no, just no! No flavor, no sausage (maybe 2 crumbles), no good. All I'll say about the coffee is that if you like really strong coffee, you'll love theirs.Will I come back? Sure.

Bomb bunch! I hadn't tried The Emory before and I have no idea why! We went for brunch and everything was absolutely delicious and the service is so nice! The Winter Bod Bowl was jam packed with tasty things and only $13.00! Crispy truffle roasted potatoes, melty cheddar cheese, sweet caramelized onions, bacon, and two eggs how you like

My friends and I decided to meet for brunch in a neutral location, and all agreed to try The Emory. I love the Ferndale area, so I was excited to try the restaurant. There were a few menu items that caught my eye, but I decided to go with a side order of the Truffle Fries, and the Spicy Boi Bowl w/ an English Muffin. The food was really appetizing to me, and my friends also enjoyed their food as well. The only concern that we had was the overall service. Our waitress did not come to our table for almost 15 minutes to take our orders. After we ordered our drinks and food, we did not receive the drinks until about 20 minutes later, and one of my friends went to talk to (I believe it was the manager, a lady that was serving drinks behind the bar and was told that there were only two waiters trying to serve the entire restaurant). Our food came out shortly afterwards, and again, the food was really good. But we had to keep asking for water refills, extra napkins, and butter and jelly for our toast. We went on a Sunday afternoon, around 1:30 pm. I wouldn't mind going back to try other menu options at the restaurant, bc it's nice vibe, and I love the location. I would just hope next time the service is more efficient.

We came around 10:30 on a Friday night, and they had their late night menu instead of their regular menu. Wish it said online what time their late night menu started. But the food they did have was really good! Their truffle fries were to die for, with a really good aioli to dip them in. Service was quick and friendly. There was both a bar area and a dining area depending on what vibe you're looking for. My only complaint is there isn't much for a vegetarian on their late night menu. I would definitely still come back here though!

It seems the Emory has shifted in the last few years. Now they are a slider and small plates joint. We were told to sit wherever we liked and the table service was great, we were brought water and physical menus. Things are marked with a green V for vegetarian, and there are vegan buns available. We tried the apple mule mocktail and ginger says, both were really good. There are vegan options, but they are somewhat limited. I got two sliders with beyond patties, there only was one type of vegan cheese. If ordering again I would skip the mock big Mac because it really isn't a big Mac without the American cheese and sauce- which aren't available veganized. I also ordered the tots which were extremely salty. My husband had two very not vegan sliders which looked fantastic and tried the gnocchi which had great sauce and cornbread but very overdone gnocchi.So tldr, the drinks and service were good but the food and prices (5$ each slider) was nothing to write home about. We probably won't return. If they add more vegan options we may check back.

Excellent service. They were kind enough to accommodate our large reservation for 20 people, and even give us all separate checks too.Very organized and clean restaurant. Cool ambience. The lighting dims in the evening.They have booths and tables, and a full bar. I enjoyed a glass of their Malbec.It's good pub food. I enjoyed a yummy side salad, along with cauliflower wings--fried cauliflower tossed in buffalo sauce. My friends enjoyed their burgers and fries. Another friend enjoyed her Traverse City salad.Very attentive and kind service. Clean and spacious bathroom.Paid parking lot behind the restaurant.

Decided to go on a self date and I sat at the bar - staff was super nice and helpful.I believe I came on Sunday and I think parking was free; there's two entrances the front and the side. Since I sit at the bar I'm unsure if you pick where you want to sit or you wait to be seated but I think it's more of wait to be seated vibe.Unfortunately I forgot what I ordered but it was good; maybe next time I might explore their cocktails while grabbing a bite to eat. I'll definitely return - they gave me this low key vibe and I think I was watching something on Netflix while I dined.Happy Eating!!!

I joined a group of friends here for brunch. The lighting is a bit lacking but the overall ambiance is cozy. The menu selection is pretty diverse. I ended up ordering the Honey-Sriracha Cauliflower Wrap. It was delicious! They put the right amount of sriracha to just give it a bit of a kick but not overpower the sandwich. Considering we had 15 people in our group, the service was very good. I would like to come back and try a couple other items.

I have pasted this place many times but since the windows are tinted pretty dark, I never knew it was a restaurant lol. However, we noticed some people coming out of the restaurant which is what prompted me to do a little investigating and realize it was a restaurant. Inside, it is wonderfully decorated and the bar is super cute! I ordered a salad which was great and a very healthy portion! The Buffalo cauliflower wrap was also really good so much so that I forgot I was eating a vegetable focused wrap! Finally, the beermosa was so sweet and delicious. The best part is that everything was extremely well priced! I will be coming back!

Me and my partner use to be semi regulars but we went recently and were served burger sliders that had gone bad...I cook a lot of beef and I can smell when it has turned rancid and there was no doubt about it. We ended telling our server and I felt like they didn't believe us. They didn't even apologize or anything. Very bizarre experience, we will not be back and have told everyone of this weird experience.
