When will this reopen says open but it is not nobody answers phone

My aunt said they plan to open on Sunday. I don't know how she knew that, or what time they open, but we were planning to go for lunch on Sunday, 7/19/20.

Is beefcarver an all you can eat restaurant

No but you get more than your money's worth

how long has it been there?

That is the original location. First one 1958.

Menu wed esdY hi

Anything special for Mothers day

How late are you open on Easter??

Today April 21st 2019 since it is Easter they May close early around 7 p.m.

Is there a menu posted?

They do have a website www.thebeefcarver.com that lists the daily entrees and then they always have various, vegetables, sides and lots of great desserts! There are no fried foods, they are either baked or steamed. Great place for home style food!

Once again I have had missing food. Every time that short fat guy packs the carryout foods he messes up the order. Food is great, but when he is on the line the service is terrible. From now on when I see him on the line I will leave.

No just tell the cook to make sure you got all of your food or the manager. The taller dark hair guy. I only get the little young girl as the cashier and the manager

Best place in town! A little pricey but worth it. You pay for each item or get a combo. Local business and last one in the franchise. Again, worth the trip and price.

If you like food, quality service and understand that you need to pay for it, then this is the place to go. No reservations but definitely worth the wait. Food quality is on point, service is surprisingly quick, and staff is amazing and very helpful.

If you want a fast bite to eat, where they cut the beef right off the roast in front of you for your sandwich, you gotta go here! And they are so friendly and helpful!

I have driven by this place for years and never stopped.My buddy had suggested that I should check this place out. I have been here a total of four times now, and I have enjoyed the food.Today I went in for lunch and got the roast beef with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. It was delicious.The only thing I am confused about is two times I have come here, and someone came and check on you did I need more water or whatnot. The other two times, including today, they sat your food down at the table, and no one ever came back. Is it because they only do it for dinner?Other than that, everything else was great.

Went here as a kid after church all the time. Still visit occasionally as an adult who likes to eat early. The staff is always friendly, love the cafeteria style and the roast beef is what to get.

Loved it! My husband used to go, as a kid, with his grandparents and parents on Sundays after church. So when we saw that there was one still open, we had to stop. From the outside of the building I wasn't expecting much. It...well... has what I'll call "old charm", lol. The inside was similar, dated, but clean!The food is great! Tastes like Grandma's home cooking and the portions are a nice big helping. The staff was also wonderful! We will definitely be back whenever we are in the area!

We went right after they reopened. They had no roast beef, and the prices have gone up. They had also done away with the pickles and beets, because of covoid. The staff did not seem happy to be there. It is not the restaurant it once was.

Ahh, yes, my favorite restaurant. I--along with my brother and my mom used to go there as a young kid/toddler if I may recall... There used to be one on Eight Mile Rd. near O'Hair Park before it closed down and demolished in the early-90's... My dad also used to take me and my brother at this location on Woodward back around 2000 and maybe 2001. The food I've tasted reminded me of the best quality meal I have been missing for who knows how long... I hope to god that this restaurant will stay open for a very long time...

Great sliced beef that can't be made at home... Huge rounds, slow cooked, and hand-sliced paper thin. I worked here as a kid, and have always loved the food.

Still, one of the most classic "All American" , family style restaurants from bygone times. Prices are extremely reasonable (I can feed my family of 4 everyone getting what they want cheaper than McDonald's), and everything has a homemade look and taste. Staff is exceptional, place is clean, and full of antiques to look at while you dine. The beef is hand cut in front of you, and cooks that serve (Cafeteria style) pull out no stops if heaping generous portions and make attempts at any special requests. This is a place people should patronize, period.

It is a very nice and quiet restaurant with great choices of food. It's a little unique that they don't always have the same food for every night and it's kind of like a lunch line where you walk along the counter picking out the food you want and then pay after you get everything the prices are great for the amount of food you get and it is very good food.

Great place and the food is really good! I went there growing up so it's nice to know this last of the chain is still around!...They have one of the arrangements where the Waiter/Watress seats you... cafeteria style. But our Watress never refreshed out drinks after she promuaed to. Only issues here but not enough to lower rating.

It was a comfortable atmosphere and everyone was helpful and friendly but the food was bland. Coffee tasted weird and potatoes were instant potatoes. The chicken was very tender but dressing was like a glob of thick bread with no seasoning. Not sure if it was the time if day that we went that made the difference or not. I might try it one more time just because I've heard good things but if you like very bland food it's probably a good choice for you.

Im so glad there's a location that I can get to. The other location closed and i was really bummed because I've been going to BeefCarver since I was a kid. I always get the roast beef plate special and they offer sides of beets and pickles. Also a variety of desserts and lunch/dinner specials. If you need a quality place to eat to fill up and have a at home feel this this is the place to go
