The Gathering Place

The Gathering Place has been open since 1936. I've been going for many many years but no longer live in Michigan. Apparently it is under new ownership but I couldn't tell a difference. It's a total dive but has amazing character. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The pizza here is amazing if you're a fan of Detroit style. The edges/crust are super crisp and cooked to perfection. Prices are super reasonable, too!

How is a rum and diet $7.50 using wells liquor during happy hour? It's standard bar with bar food but the drink prices aren't the best in town.

This place has obviously seen better days. TGP has been around foreverrr... but it's lost all of its charm and appeal. The first thing you notice upon entry is the smell. Ugh, it smells like a latrine...they use some sort of sanitizer (server told us about it) and the smell is like a toilet..like a urinal, it's so distracting. The tables are wiped with this sanitizer and leaves them filmy and sticky. I spilled some water on it table and it mixed with the sanitizer and made since weird residue form. I don't know - it just made everything feel really dirty and gross. I wouldn't have normally chosen this spot, but it was close for a client meeting. I've said this before, but this time it sticks, I will not be returning. I barely ate any of my food because it just felt really unclean in here. Unless there's an announcement that they're placing a huge overhaul and completely redoing this place - I'm out!

Just a local watering hole. Drinks come easy. Food is pricy for bar food. Fish and chips was good but the price is high.

This place is not at all what I expected. The interior looks like your standard neighborhood pub and was actually large. The service was kind of hit or miss but the food was a total bust in my opinion. The pizza would have been palatable had they not tampered with them. I ordered a small Hawaiian pizza with sauce on the bottom (WHY DO PLACES NOT PUT IT UNDERNEATH THE CHEESE?!) I told them that and they put more cheese on top of the pizza and REBAKED it!! So disgusting to have places mess with food like that and to have the toppings hidden under cheese.For apps we got seasoned fries and fried cheddar balls that were also disgusting. The oil was wayyyy too high and the outer layer of batter was burned and the inside was still frozen. Overall a complete bust in my opinion, especially if you're not here for the deals on drinks they have.

Walked in, sat there for 15-20 minutes and no one even acknowledged me or my family. Used to come here regularly, wont ever come back

My favorite pizza in the area by far. I love Detroit style pizza, and this place does it very well. I honestly have not ordered anything but salad and pizza from this place. Salad was hit or miss in the past so we have just stuck with the pizza.Service can be a little spotty, we have had very excellent service there as well as we have been very disappointed with the service, however the visits with good service has outweighed the disappointing ones.

gathering place is in serious need of remodeling Carpet has millions of stains Been coming here for over 25 years and the carpet has never been updated. They have a good amount of customers and there is no reason why this carpet should not be replaced.

Atmosphere is cozy abd comfortable with a heavy sports bar decor. The food is basic, but good, and the prices are reasonable.

i used to go there pre Covid. today ordered a pizza "to go" in the car. Arrived early and ordered a beer. There is something wrong with the compression or the keg is old. it was FLAT. The Bar Tender brushed her hair right in front of the pass where ice is kept. When I arrived at home and the dough was raw. There were four tables in a restaurant that used to be full. I wish you the best. I won't be back.
