    This place is a hidden gym! We just happen to hear about it on Facebook and thought we would try it! We went for brunch. It was nice and quiet. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress was literally, the best we’ve had in Michigan and I’m not exaggerating. I even told the owner that. The food was beautifully presented, and it was absolutely delicious We highly- highly recommend this restaurant

    Folks tend to give chain restaurants, especially venerable ones such as Red Lobster, short shrift across the board, but usually in terms of quality. Let it be known that both my dinner companion and I, two women who have dined across the world, were more than pleasantly surprised by the friendly, customer-focused service and the quality of our food. From our appetizers through to dessert, our food was well-seasoned, fresh, and tasty. Our server made excellent suggestions, checked on us frequently, and made us feel like regulars despite a few infrequent visits over the course of several decades. I would absolutely recommend this location and will soon be back.

    I booked Parker's Hilltop because it was in Clarkston and close to DTE Music theater and we were going to a concert. The place was very spacious and very nice! I would love to sit at the bar next time I come. The beer I had was amazing and the pierogis where delicious! Oh, and the fried pickles were soooooo good!!! This was a great place to enjoy some great food and drinks before hitting a show at DTE which is usually when I go out to Clarkston. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
