Jolly Pumpkin And Taphouse - Royal Oak

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!

Pizza was delicious and the vibe and service were good. I am just not a fan of their in-house sours. Might be a preference thing but I have enjoyed other sours in the past.

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.

Four of us went to the Jolly Pumpkin yesterday for dinner before a show. It was a Saturday about 5pm. We were seated right away at a large round table with plenty of room.We had a great time. We didn't feel rushed by the server it was just a wonderful relaxing dinner. The food was excellent, and so was the beer, including one that was suggested by the waitress.. We ordered 2 appetizers, the house bread sticks and dynamite chicken would order both again. We ordered 3 pizzas to share. The BBQ chicken, Carnivore (meat lovers), and the Popeye (spinach).The crust was not as thin as I was expecting for a wood fired pizza... it complimented the pizza nicely. The sauce wasn't overdone, and the flavors all worked well together. It was all absolutely delicious ?.The waitress was very nice and polite and helpful. She did a great job.Next time, we are in Royal Oak. We will we will definitely go back to the Jolly Pumpkin.

The place is great to chill. Great place in the middle of the downtown to have some drinks and food.I loved their starters and cocktails. And would definitely recommend this place.They also have a pub downstairs in f you love to dance and party with your friends.The servers and nice and the services would be fast. So give it a visit.
