Renshaw lounge: French onion (image included): Given the college atmosphere and close proximity to royal oak. I was expecting a mediocre French onion that left me wanting more. Little did I know that this renshaw staple would become a consideration for top 10 French onions of the year. Croutons: - Appears to be homemade. Abnormal shapes which provided a diverse mouth feel that keeps you indulged. Could reach a 10 if they used a sourdough or some other type of artisan bread. 8 out of 10. Onions - turgid yet flaccid at the same time. Couldn’t ask more. 10 out of 10. Well done renshaw. Beef stock - good flavor but the saltiness was overpowering and was distracting from the true flavor of this stock. 7 out of 10 Overall score: 8.33 The Shawster: While this is not the traditional turkey Reuben that is reviewed on this page, I felt obligated to order this sandwich given it’s praises from the locals. The bold intricacy of the corned beef and coleslaw provides an exquisite combination of flavors that left me feeling more than satisfied. Bread - Crunchy exterior and soft interior. A must. While marbled rye was used, I’ve had better and the bread was a little thin. 7 out of 10. Corned beef - While not the sliced turkey that I typically prefer, the corned beef was a nice change of pace. The corned beef was sliced to the perfect thickness and the flavor was good. It should be noted, however, that this does not appear to be a homemade corned beef. Unfortunately, the beef was also dry from being left on the griddle too long. Improvements could definitely be made. 4 out of 10. Thousand island - Wow, just wow. I am speechless. The pickles are of perfect proportions and provide acidity to a sauce that otherwise has wonderful viscosity. I really wish they would bottle this stuff. Truly amazing. 10 out of 10. Pickle - Good crunch. The flavor is nothing to rave home about. 7 out of 10. Fries - Often forgotten, but a huge component to the Reuben rating system. These fries present an audible crunch and soft interior that will leave any fry lover marveling at the topography of its exterior. If only the seasoning was on par. The lack of salt and possibly other seasonings leaves these fried potatoes tasting like funnel cakes. A true bummer. I am hopeful that this is not the norm, but ratings must be given based on what was provided at the time. 4 out of 10. Overall score: 6.4 out of 10 *Pictures of the Reuben are absent due to the table being bussed before possible. Apologies for the inconvenience.

We came for drinks with co-workers and friends. Our waitress was amazing. She was incredibly friendly and fun. She was super on top of our drinks and orders. I love the look and size of this place, tons of room. Great drink selection and while we didn't order much food, really just snacks and appetizers, everything was really good. Probably the best tater tots I've ever had. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and just fell apart. Glorious. They also serve chocolate chip cookies and while it sounds odd, it's genius. Those cookies were dynamite. Highly Recommend the Renshaw. So far this is the best place in Clawson we've been to and Clawson is no slouch when it comes to good food and drink places.

Very lively place. Younger local crowd. Waitress was busy but she did a great job at keeping an eye on us. Pizza was good. Had the Detroit style. If you want to catch a game on the tv and play some pool. Come by. It was good.

I love this place! Used to be a regular before I moved out of state. If you expect fast service, sit at the bar. The atmosphere is laid back. Great place to hang out with friends or catch a game. This past time the food was just ok. It came out luke warm and mediocre. I always brag about the great food, hopefully it was just a one time thing.

One of my favorite chicken finger pitas in the area! Two pool tables, a dart board, and great music. Overall, the vibes are immaculate. The service can be a bit slow and sparse. I don’t want to bash them though because it does get busy and the wait staff has a lot to juggle. We go for a great and fun place to gather and hang out with friends and family of drinking age. Lots of TVs to enjoy whatever sporting events that are on that day.

Renshaw has been one of my all time favorite spots for a while. The food, the atmosphere, the drinks, and the prices are all top tier. I still try to make a visit to the place when I can despite living 30+ min from Clawson these days. I'm finally taking the time to leave a review, though, because I had one of the most exceptioal service experiences of my life this past Saturday evening (11/25). A group of friends and I (10+) met up to connect over the holidays as a lot of us were out of town visitors. Two of us (self included) were celebrating a birthday that evening, and one the next day. It only made sense to grab drinks and food in one of our favorite spots. Despite the fact that we had a size changing group (with people coming and going) shifting seats, multiple drink orders, and all around "tough" to serve from a general sense, our server, Katie, knocked it out of the park. She was cordial, she was engaging, and she was fun. She got everyone EVERYTHING they ordered, despite a busy night (lots of football on). On top of that, she was able to keep tabs split the way we were hoping, checked on us regularly, and just made a reunion of good friends all the better without anyone missing a drink or food order, and not having to worry if someone was going to grab the tab, relying on all of us to pay out the one that was kind enough to pick it up. I only wish any server I had was as great as Katie was to us that night. Thanks for making the birthday that much better, and I hope I have you every time I stop in. Don't ever change, Renshaw!

Never have a bad experience here but it would b helpful if either the Thursday specials were called 4$ if the original price is under 8$ , or if the server would have specified that at the beginning of our experience. Did not realize how premium kettle one and patron are I guess. We specifically came for the drink special and ended up with mid food, mid service, and a bill higher than expected.

It was busy but well handled and managed. Met a meetup group and they accommodated people trickling in and made more seating available. Food was hot and tasty. I don't live around the area but if I did, I would frequent it often.
