Jolly Pumpkin Restaurant and Taphouse

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.

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!

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.

Nice place to go for pizza or drinks. They also have burgers that look amazing although no one in our party bag any. The loaded waffle fries are so good, just be aware they have a kick in spicy.

Very Fun restaurant, great simple menu crushing everything spicy tomato bisque was one of the best soups I’ve had. Pizza was great, staff was excellent and beyond FOOD:9.7/10 ATMOSPHERE: 9.4/10 STAFF: 10/10 Value: 8.6/10 Worth a visit anytime

I really love the truffle fries and the Jolly pumpkin burger. They do a great job here of seasoning everything just right with herbs including rosemary and parsley. The beer menu is definitely the star here, at least in my opinion. I also love the fact that they were open on a Monday during a blizzard when it seems that half of Royal Oak was closing early. With great service and good food you can’t go wrong here. It’s very clean here and there is a great vibe. 100!

The service here is wonderful! We had pizza and salad, and enjoyed both very much. Pretty on par with New York-style pizza, just a teensy bit thicker crust. The Cobb salad was delicious! Big fan of the sour beers they brew on-site.

I loved everything about this place. We visited a little over a week ago (late to review) and it was an enjoyable experience. The restaurant is clean and roomy. The tables are large and spacious which was great. Our server was friendly and informative and he was really cool. We dined in during happy hour and the deals on beer and the sharables was wonderful! The truffle fries are perfection! Just the right amount of truffle and herb and that rosemary aioli to go with the fries has to be terrible for you, but it is worth it. The breadsticks are incredible. Gooey cheese, the charred tomato marinara, you cannot go wrong. The Perfect Fried Chicken Sandwich is a mind ****. It was one of the craziest most delicious sandwiches I have ever tasted. I'm all for spicy and always interested in sriracha so the sriracha turmeric aioli and spicy pickles hooked me. It was exactly as the name says, perfect. The Char-grilled cajun wings are flavorful and tasty but they are huge wings, only issue with that was they seemed barely cooked so the texture was off. Overall, so much fun and a great time. Jolly Pumpkin had delicious food and beer, we left feeling extremely full but all having leftovers. Thank goodness, cause I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich as a late night snack. When we visit again, I'll be sure to be back.
