There’s a reason why steak and potatoes are a timeless culinary duo—they’re the ultimate comfort food. At Driftwood Bar & Grill, nestled on the scenic shores of Walled Lake in Novi, Michigan, we’ve taken this classic pairing to new heights. With bold flavors, premium cuts of meat, and perfectly prepared potato dishes, every meal here is a celebration of hearty, satisfying goodness.

Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch on the deck or a lively dinner with lakefront views, our menu showcases the best of meat and potatoes—done right.

Premium Steaks that Steal the Show

At Driftwood, we believe a great steak starts with great ingredients. That’s why we source only the finest cuts of beef, grilling each one to perfection for a seared crust and juicy interior. Here are a few of our standout options:

  • 16 oz Ribeye: A hand-cut USDA Choice ribeye with beautiful marbling, seasoned simply to let the rich, beefy flavor shine. Char-grilled to perfection, it’s a steak lover’s dream.
  • Tenderloin Medallions: Twin petite filets grilled to your preferred temperature, then elevated with sweet crab meat, tender asparagus, and a silky béarnaise sauce. It’s an elegant surf-and-turf twist that’s as indulgent as it is delicious.

Whether you like your steak rare, medium, or well-done, our expert chefs ensure every bite is packed with flavor.

Signature Meat Dishes & Crowd Favorites

For the meat lovers out there, our menu goes far beyond steak. Start your meal with our wildly popular Steak Bites—tender filet tips so craveable, many guests order them as a full meal.

Looking for something hearty and comforting? Try our Steak & Smashed: sautéed tenderloin tips swimming in savory au jus with mushrooms, sweet onions, and peppers, all piled generously over smashed redskin potatoes. It’s the kind of dish that warms your soul.

And don’t miss our Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops—succulent, perfectly grilled, and paired beautifully with our potato sides and fresh vegetables.

Potatoes: The Perfect Supporting Star

At Driftwood, potatoes are more than just a side—they’re a star in their own right.

  • In our Steak & Smashed, smashed redskin potatoes soak up every drop of flavorful au jus and toppings.
  • Our crispy fries (available regular or seasoned) are the perfect pairing for burgers and sandwiches.
  • Many entrées come with your choice of potatoes or rice, but let’s be honest—potatoes always win.

Earthy, starchy, and endlessly versatile, potatoes bring balance to rich, savory meats, turning a great meal into an unforgettable one.
