"Another Royal Oak institution, the Redcoat Tavern, brings an A-game when it comes to burgers. Opened in 1972, regulars will argue that the location offers the best burger around. Each one is made with freshly ground beef and served “continental style” on a sesame seed bun, but many customers spring for the Piedmontese beef patties. From there, choose from even more modifications and toppings such as sautéed mushrooms, smoked Gouda, and Dijon mustard. Place a takeout order online. A second location is located in West Bloomfield. Vibe check: With moody lighting and a boisterous atmosphere, Redcoat makes for a fun night out with groups." - Danny Palumbo
