A STORY 70 YEARS IN THE MAKING
Local people serving local products with pride, passion and integrity
My Grandfather, Jim Brady, opened the original Diamond Jim Brady’s in 1954 on 7 Mile & Greenfield in Detroit. Along with my father, Tom Brady Sr., they spent their lives building relationships in our communities.
By serving up the finest food and drinks, with warm and personal hospitality, Diamond Jim Brady’s became an institution. Now, 70 years later, we are, and always have been, proud to be local people, serving local products with pride, passion and integrity.
Thank you for helping us carry on that tradition.
Tom Brady, Jr

For my first time visiting Jim Brady’s I must say it definitely exceeded my expectations! My daughter made a reservation for her birthday dinner and we loved the way that the table was set up so cute! The vibe is amazing there! It’s so cute for ladies to have a ladies night out. The food was extremely delicious! The customer service is on point!
I can’t remember the waitress name that served us on Fri 4/20/24 at 630pm, but she was AMAZING! She deserves an award for her greatness. Definitely will be back!

Verified I enjoyed celebrating my birthday with friends. Drinks on point. Appetizers great. Food delicious! We love the carrot cake! A must have! I had a whiskey mule, steak bites, and Tuscan Tortellini. All were very good! I usually get the Fish and Chips. One of my Jim Brady’s favorites.

Verified Our first trip to Jim Brady’s Royal Oak. Excellent all around. Happy hour pricing was great. Ordered from the daily specials menu. The stuffed sea bass was excellent as was the tortellini. The carrot cake was awesome, a huge shareable piece. Service was outstanding, and had a nice chat with the owner. Will definitely return!

Verified Slow service in general. The server blamed it on a shift change. Overall, the experience was decent. The noise level was too loud. The Lions were playing and they turned up the volume to where it was a challenge to socialize while dining. Several people did walk out of the restaurant due to the slow service.
