Uptown Grille
There’s an intangible about any successful enterprise. What is it that has made this big sports bar/restaurant so successful in the year and a half since it opened? Foodies would probably say it’s the quality of the dishes on an extensive menu that includes everything from chips and salsa to rib-eye steaks, which are handled with equal respect. Others might point to the friendly staff or the unpretentious but attractive look of the 14,000-square-foot building. Then there’s that wall of high-definition plasma TVs over the bar where 37 craft beers are on tap. The strategic location on Maple Road makes it geographically desirable to the Novi, West Bloomfield, Walled Lake, and Commerce Township crowds. In any case, proprietors Ryan Adams, Joe Hibbert, and Brandon Richardson have a hit on their hands. 3100 E. West Maple Rd., Commerce Township; 248-960-3344.

Uptown has become a regular place for my husband and I. The atmosphere is great and the food is amazing! The selection of specialty pizzas is like no other, exploding with flavor in every bite. The sweet potato fries are also awesome! My husbands favorite is the crab cakes that is topped with a special sauce. Prices are great and the beer list fills the first couple of pages on the menu so whether you want a good bite for your buck or a unique beer, this is the place to go!
