Jolly Pumpkin And Taphouse - Royal Oak

Great place for lunch, the food flavors were pretty wonderful. Definitely recommend the truffle mushroom pizza. Server asked if we wanted lettuce on our burger and didn't realize that wasn't standard, so paid $1.50 for not reading the menu thoroughly enough, which seemed a bit excessive for lettuce. Our server wasn't very attentive and it took almost our entire meal to get condiments and refills and the restaurant wasn't very busy and during a slow lunch period. Parking: Large parking lot behind the building with pay to park, lots of street parking available as well.

We stopped by here for a quick bite on Sunday afternoon and had a pleasant meal and visit! We ordered their Truffle fries with garlic aoli, Jolly Pumpkin house cheese bread, and the Harvest Salad. I am glad we made the decision to share everything because the portions were definitely large enough to do so. The truffle fries were crispy and delicious, and the aoli had just the right amount of garlic to balance out the strong truffle/parmesan seasoning of the fries. The house cheese bread was as big as their pizzas! It was delicious and came with a roasted crushed tomato sauce on the side. And finally, the Harvest salad was the show stopper for me. Crisp lettuce with a nice spring mix and peppery arugula, goat cheese crumble, pickled beets, sunflower seeds, and walnuts made up the salad and it came with a delicious green apple vinaigrette dressing.The restaurant wasn't very crowded when we got there at 1:30pm but by the time we got up to leave the late lunch crowd was beginning to pack in. The staff was wonderful and very patient, especially with diners who had never been there before and the restaurant was very clean. Has a bar type feel to it but very much so a friends and family type of spot. They also have a broad beer and draft menu! I even saw them bringing a water bowl for some diners who ate on the patio that had a furry friend with them! It's those types of things and small gestures that make a restaurant great! We had a Jolly good time at JOLLY PUMPKIN in Royal Oak and I'm sure you will too!

Very cool vibe, good music. The food was great! Ordered the loaded up waffle fries as an app and I got the OG burger. Excellent. My wife got the Mac n cheese and said her only regret was not adding chicken as the server suggested.

Fun place. Multiple locations. Royal oak has the downside of annoying parking but the venue is nice. Service was polite and fast. Check out the happy hour menu! Great pricing! Loved the waffle fries and dill pickle grilled cheese. Excellent beer selection. Comfy booths and lots of seating. Would recommend to friends, and great for groups of 4-8. Fyi also noticed trivia coming in around 7pm on Tuesday when I was there :
