It’s a spot where local regulars and visitors alike settle in to share stories over thoughtfully crafted drinks or a carefully plated brunch with a twist—imagine Bloody Marys you can tailor just how you like, or a smoky brisket benedict served with a side of good conversation.

Pronto's Maurice salad tastes similar to the one they served at J. L. Hudson's restaurant, but had more ingredients. It consisted of iceberg lettuce, Swiss cheese, ham, turkey, pickles, olives, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes and a sweet creamy dressing all for only $13! They have excellent indoor and outdoor dining areas that accommodated our large cycling group wonderfully and service was good! There was even plenty of space to park our bikes!

We are newer to Michigan and were visiting Royal Oak, so I did some Googling for good places to visit. I came across an article on Visit Detroit that mentioned Pronto so we decided to check it out. I am so glad we did!! It’s a super cute place and the owner was warm and friendly. They were setting up for a few big events but still took the time to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The food was EXCELLENT. I got the Killah Quesadillah and my wife got the street corn salad with chicken. They were both so good that after tasting each, we dove right in. But then we were sad we didn’t think to split them first so we could each have some of both. We’ll be back for sure!

The lips on the wall are sexy as hell. Luke's voice on the phone is a spell. I came here to drink mocktails with friends. The ginger was hot with a burning end. Motor city pride shirts beep for jeep. I like Pronto they keep it neat.

Wonderful space with a very fun atmosphere. I had a great brunch with some excellent Bloody Marys and Pancakes, just what I needed. The best part here is you will always feel welcome. The staff the other patrons, they are all amazing and it's very easy to feel like a regular day 1.

Royal Oak is a very friendly, pleasant and safe city. My friend had his birthday party at this diner and I had "A BALL". The colorful lights, effervescent ppl and delicious food just reeled me in. The diner was easy to find and the aroma of food when I opened the door was mesmerizing. THISSSS venue was very impressive. I'll definitely be back.

5/23/23: Just got back from seeing Ben Sharkey cabaret act on the patio. Wonderful night!!! Great service. Great menu. The following review is from many years ago before the big changes - It's always seemed a wee bit overpriced to me. That said, the mac and cheese is amazing. 4 stars for the restaurant, extra star for the baked goods. The cakes are... Super good. We got their 7 layer chocolate cake for our small wedding a few years ago and everyone loved it!

As a queer teen, it can be difficult to find places year-round that are openly queer and aren't only for adults and this place does that great!! Went with my parents and all of our food was amazing, our server was also amazing, and it is a beautiful space in general! Will definitely return!!!!
