15 Best Diners near Dearborn

“Loved the atmosphere of this old school diner. Limited menu but the chicken salad sandwich was actually delicious as was the sloppy Joe. Turkey and cheese sandwich was just ok. Milkshakes were also yum. Soup was simple Campbells chicken noodle soup which brought me back to my childhood. Total bill was just under $50 for 4 people. Service was quick and friendly. We had no wait going on Memorial Day to be seated inside.

Only thing that left us with a negative taste was when we went up to pay at the cashier. I didn’t leave tip on my card as I had already left a 20% cash tip on the table. She rudely said to me “Thank you!” Slamming the receipt on the counter. I actually wondered what I’d done to her. My daughter told me after we’d walked out that she’d overheard the waitress saying to another waitress next to her “this is the third time I’ve been stiffed of a tip.” Unbelievable! As someone who worked in the service industry before, I always preferred cash tips. Maybe check the table before being so upset and rude! OR have a better system of having customers pay at the table instead of going up to the cashier. It causes confusion. I dont even know if she ended up getting the tip or if the bus boy took it.“

“Fantastic experience! The food was delicious and their hot sauces are spectacular. All three are made in house and each one has a complex and balanced flavor profile with the right amount of heat without blowing out your palate. The drinks are also quite delicious. The service we got was next level. It was an all in all highly memorable experience.“

“Rather large seating area towards the back with booths and tables. Reasonable price for breakfast in downtown Detroit. Our waitress provided quick and genuine service. She was the only one on the floor. Love the large chicken breast for breakfast and very tasty 😋 not open on Sunday.“

“I've been going to the C P. for about 45 years. The staff, service and food has and still is like a family experience. The Sunday morning Biscuit's and Gravy makes me a very happy Man. It's a comfortable experience for me.

Kid-friendliness: My son has Autism and can be much like the Tasmanian Devil, with all the love in my heart I say that . For all the years we've gone to the C.P. they welcome him despite his larger than life personality. That means the world to me. A Better experience than some of my family gatherings . Oh yeah I went there. No apologies but much thanks to the Canterbury Palace ?☮️“

“Good food For the neighborhood“

“Great little place, their food is homemade. I try to go on Saturday's. Also, the waitress has the gift of gab, like myself. The prices are very reasonable.“

“A no nonsense established place to enjoy real home cooked style foods for a good price. If restaurants could be cushy fuzzy slippers, this would be that! Except of course...much tastier and no fuzz! :)“

“Nice local spot, affordable, very tasty, with good customer service. Puts you in mind of a coney island restaurant. I had a corned beef pita with fries. It was delicious and the meat was juicy and moist, they gave a generous amount of fries. The only downside is they don't give a pickle with it. Otherwise everything was great. 10/10 I definitely recommend.“

“love this place! great food and service all around!“

“Great breakfast. Great waitress“

“I had breakfast at Nanas kitchen this morning. After eating, talking with company I noticed the cook wasn't wearing gloves while handling the food. He handled bacon, wiped his hands on his apron, proceeded to grab his phone and coffee and talking to customers. Not washing hands before returning to handling food. Another cook also started, no gloves, while grabbing bacon, pile of hash browns with 2 hands, in-between grabbing the trashcan from under the counter. The service and food was good but seeing the above grossed me out. Waitress was told but, said she would say something but I continued watching the cook handling food with no gloves until we left.“

“It was my first time visiting Tim’s Coney Island in Southfield this past Saturday with my kids and our church youth group, about a dozen of us in total. The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were great, and the prices were very reasonable—our bill came out to about $10 each. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making our experience even better. We all left satisfied, and I can honestly say this will not be our last visit. Definitely looking forward to going back soon!“

“Our server Jennah was amazing! Definitely coming back for sure. 5/5“

“I met a friend for lunch yesterday and we decided we would go to the Big Boy restaurant on telegraph Road in Taylor. The service was exceptional! Our food came out very quickly, and I think that the Big Boy hamburger I ordered was probably the best one I’ve ever had in my entire life! It was perfect!!!! And I mean, perfect! I told my sister how great it was and we’ve decided that we are definitely going to have a meal there next week. I was so impressed with my hamburger that I actually called the restaurant when I got home to tell them again that I thought the hamburger was perfect! Whoever the chef is, I hope he / she stays! Keep up the great work!“

“I had their sampler and I found it really tasty and good. I hadn't been there in a long time but decided to get carryout. The food was delivered quickly and still hot. The chicken was great -- moist without being greasy and very tasty. I also loved the cole slaw. I'll be back and if you haven't been in a while (or ever), I think you should check it out.“
