The Morrie in Royal Oak
I’m so excited to tell you about a hip restaurant I visited the other night with some blogger friends. The Morrie in Royal Oak has a trendy atmosphere, amazing food, and live entertainment. If you are searching for a happening place to hang with friends, grab a drink, or enjoy some tasty food, I recommend The Morrie.
When I attend a blogger event, such as this, I am able to try many different food items so that I can write a thorough review. During this event, I indulged in a three course meal plus a cocktail, all of which were delicious.
My cocktail of choice was called Train and Vain – B. Side. I love sweet drinks and this one hit the spot. It is a pear infused drink with a touch of nutmeg. So good I had a second!
For appetizers, we sampled One Big Ol’ Meatball, Kung Pao Cauliflower, and Brisket Mac. Of the three, Brisket Mac was my favorite, although I enjoyed the unique taste of all three. Brisket Mac is a little spicy so you might stray away if spice isn’t your thing.
Next came our main entrees….which wasn’t an easy decision for any of us in the group. I choose one of their headliners called the Nashville Hot Chicken. The Nashville Hot is a breast of chicken with shredded lettuce, garlic aioli, pickles, and blue cheese on an in-house made Morrie roll. The sandwich was really good although I would have preferred more spice. For my side, I choose the sweet potato tots which were a meal in themselves. If you like sweet potatoes, definitely try these!! I suggest sharing with a friend because they give such a hefty portion.
Last, but not least, came dessert. After much debate, I choose the bread pudding. With almond creme, blueberry sauce, rum drizzle, and candied pecans, I enjoyed every last bite of this piece of heaven.

I’d probably love the Kung Pao Cauliflower. It looks delish! Your cocktail looks pretty classy, too! I’ll have to check out the Morrie sometime.

Looks like a fun place, and your food photos look amazing. I hardly ever go into Detroit, but this might be worth the trip.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the cocktail but I enjoyed everything else 🙂 especially the ribs and the cauliflower! And the creme brulee. (so yes, pretty much everything, haha)
So great to see you! I had the sweet potato tots too and they were AMAZING! We just went there last Friday and I got to try the regular tots which were also great!
