New American Restaurants near Dearborn, MI

“I got their breakfast burrito & personally that’s one of the best I’ve had anywhere! The salsa they serve on the side is delightful & the server I had I believe her name was Katie, she made my husband & I feel very welcome as it was our first time & we weren’t sure what to get, she didn’t rush us into anything & even recommended a few items that she likes, the breakfast burrito being one of them which I can’t thank her enough for. I also love the look of the place the windows make it feel so open & when the suns out it’s a very pretty little cafe aesthetic to dine at. I didn’t rate 5* because even though the service & food was great their was a lot of commotion in the kitchen & even some yelling which just kind of makes the dining experience a bit awkward, wish they were more professional.“

“Everything was so tasty. I will definitely be back. & the give you enough food ! 😋 10/10“

“Best chicken Shawarma I have ever had.“

“Classic table service with seasonally prepared dishes. Hummus with Kalamata olive pesto and on site made pita bread was hard to want to share. Roasted salmon with couscous, which was a tad dry, and lovely Swiss chard hit the spot. Large by the glass wine list with many great choices.“

“If you’re looking for a good burger, this is the place to come! Portions are huge and taste amazing! We will be back soon!“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, and everyone who works there is very polite!“

“Been here a few times and it is one of my favorite places to visit in Detroit. The drinks and food rotate and every time I go I find a new favorite!“

“Amazing anniversary dinner there and did not disappoint!! 5 stars and we will be back.“

“Ran into this place the day before the marathon. Sat at the bar and got recommendations on what to get from the staff. Everything was fantastic. We ended up with calamari, scallops, gnudi, and trilece for dessert. This place was one of the best parts of our trip and we're excited to return. The only thing better than your food is your staff.“

“This was our second visit to Hamilton’s. Upon arrival back, we were immediately reminded why we rebooked. This time last year, the hotel and restaurant were barely open but still left an incredible impression.

This time around, we were just in time to try the new fall menu - which was texted to us in advance with our reservation confirmation. As part-time vegetarians, I’d had my eye on the lasagna. It just so happened, they had a “taste” of lasagna on the specials menu that evening. The vegetables and pasta were cooked perfectly. With the mushrooms, you didn’t miss the meat - at all. And the béchamel. Oh my goodness.

On the advice of Manager David, we also tried the whole roasted chicken. Holy. Moly. This bird was herb brined, starring rosemary. Juicy, tender, perfection. Crispy skin. The smashed potatoes were just stupidly good. Creamy and crispy perfection.

The food, signature cocktails, and amazing wine selections aside, the true stars of Hamilton’s are the staff. David was ever-present without being over-present. BJ delivered his artistry in libation form flawlessly. And Chef personally delivered the chicken and heard all our feedback. We felt like superstars the entire evening.

10/10 do recommend. And you’d better believe we’ll be back!“

“Great food, inventive cocktails, and friendly, knowledgeable service. One of the very best restaurants in Detroit for over a decade.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting this spot for breakfast/brunch, and it was such a great experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented!! What truly made the visit exceptional, though, was our host Hunter. He was amazing!! He was patient, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Our group had quite a few requests, but Hunter handled everything with a smile and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. His professionalism and positive energy really set the tone for the entire meal. It's not every day you come across that level of service, and it definitely made our brunch memorable. I'll absolutely be back and will be recommending this place to friends and family. Be sure to ask for Hunter , he'll make sure your experience is just as wonderful!“

“One of the best steaks I've ever had!! Was cooked perfect. The view was the best part of this restaurant though by far!! Have to get a window seat or it defeats the purpose of going! Did not release the amount of spiders so high up on the outside of the glass😳“

“Wow, what an experience. This was truly fine and fun dining. Amazing food, incredible service and cool tunes!“

“The food hands down is good people automatically assume it's like McDonald's or Burger King where in five or six minutes or less you have your food these people are cooking raw product in Mass quantity trying their absolute best to keep up and maintain quality of product I absolutely don't mind the wait times My two toddlers absolutely love the carnitas chicken wrap give them a chance“

“Literally the best breakfast sammich I’ve consumed. I’ve had several attempts to recreate this at other diners & they ALL fail in comparison.“

“I love Batch! Of course the beer is good but in addition to that the sandwiches are always amazing, and it’s always a great vibe whether you’re outside or inside. Plus they’ve got trivia, food pop ups, and so many other events and activities“

“Jo Jo waited on us tonight. He was working behind the bar. He was so friendly and attentive. Absolutely made our to enjoyable“

“Exquisite. The flavors. The freshness. The presentation. It was a real treat. Staff was patient and attentive.“

“*EDIT:
The owner did reach out to me to apologize and offer cleaning/replacements for my clothing. They also spoke with the staff to make a training and learning lesson for them which I appreciate. I’m changing my rating of the experience based on Owen’s response, as most owners do not attempt to rectify a bad situation.

I have never had an experience as bad as the one I just had at Firebird Tavern. Needless to say I will never return or recommend this place to anyone. The visit started well and our server was very pleasant and attentive. Halfway through our visit, a full tray of drinks and shots was spilled on me to the point that a mop was needed and a wet floor signed was placed behind me. Not only that, but my white shirt is stained and not reparable. I was soaked. The server eventually did apologize to me and told me that she was personally comping ONE of my drinks. First of all, I would NEVER expect the server to comp any drinks. Second of all, I was never approached by the manager to access the damage or talk about comps, WHICH I would assume from the establishment itself. When we were brought our bill, I asked the server, ‘what is the establishment taking care of for my damages’. The manager eventually came to talk to me and did not seem aware of the situation, even after many servers explained what happened and I showed him my clothing that was still wet and stained. He simply replied that the server was comping one drink and he would see what he could do. The server came back with the same bill, no initiative from the bar or manager and I paid for the bill as it was. How is this acceptable from a bar that my table paid several rounds of drinks and food for the night? I have never experienced this lack of care in my life and cannot express my disappointment and frustration with the management and overall experience of Firebird. What an embarrassment to our city. As a resident of the downtown area, I would never expect such a terrible experience.“

“Wonderful place to go for a special occasion. The entertainment is always top notch. The food was absolutely delicious and the entire staff at the top of their game!“

“We came to The Whitney for an early birthday dinner for my husband. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience there! The staff went above and beyond my expectations. The food was amazing and cost was much less than I would have expected for the caliber and presentation of our meals and dessert. For all of you paranormal afficionados, their Ghost Bar is a must. The owners of The Whitney have done so much to preserve this amazing estate in Detroit without any funding assistance from the government or grants. Please consider supporting them by being a patron the next time you are in Detroit.“

“Always a turn up when I come home!!!“

“Their filet o fish sandwich was the best I’ve ever had. The oysters are always great here too. Oh, and they have an awesome happy hour. We love dining here.“

“Barrel House has become our go-to place to hang out and eat. Their food is delicious, the drinks are great, and the staff are all amazing!“

“We had such a great time here! The Bartender, Bao, was very friendly and personable! We enjoyed his company and his recommendations! My girlfriend and I split the short rib grilled cheese with au jus, and it was so damn good! Thanks for being great!“

“Over a 10/10 experience! Came here after graduating college with 4 of my family members. Chris was a great server and gave GREAT recommendations for a family styled dinner. The shrimp tempura rolls were AMAZING, highly recommend the chips and dip as well as the chicken schnitzel!!
I will definitely be back!“

“My husband and I love this place , been here twice and great food, servers , atmosphere. Just a wonderful place .“

“Beautiful place for a special occasion.“

“Shout out Chelsea from Texas! Super speedy, straight to the point, and just straight-up awesome. She kept things flowing without ever making us feel rushed. Her no-nonsense, friendly vibe made the whole experience better. Attentive, efficient, and full of personality—exactly the kind of service that stands out. Big shoutout to Chelsea at Grand Trunk! We’ll definitely be back.“

“Great service!! We shared small plates and entrees!“

“It was our first time in this place and Ibrahim made our experience so great!! He guided us on the menu and had amazing mixology skills. Will be coming back!“

“My daughter and I went to Detroit Wing Company for the 1st time yesterday and maaan it was sooo good! We had their vegan chicken tenders and some cheese fries, the texture and taste were on point! Clean, quiet, professional service! We’ll be back 10/10 for sure! We’re talkin sooo good! 🔥~ Monique of Talkin Somethin To Def LLC“

“Our server Emily was very attentive, warm and welcoming. She made us feel very comfortable. We highly recommend the rueben sandwich and THE STUFFED SQUASH! Hats off to the chef and Emily. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back.“

“What can one say about this! Amazing coffee, meaning a real mean and perfect double espresso, and silence, all that in the middle of an incredible museum. My wife and I went to this place through a spiral staircase of the first level and were stunned. And to top all that, I was so intrigued by the crests that adorned the walls. Take your time and enjoy looking at them because I apnly had one concern: why, ih, why did I not have more time to spent there? But, we have another trip to the area soon, so we will be back....“

“State Fair Coney Island at the corner of John R and 8 Mile in Hazel Park is one of those rare gems that feels like home the moment you walk in. It’s a true family-run spot where the staff greet you like you’re part of their own family—niece, nephew, sister, or brother. That warmth isn’t just in the service, it’s in the food too. You can taste the love they put into every dish.

My go-to recommendations? Definitely the original coney dog—it’s unbeatable—or the chicken finger pita, which is always fresh and flavorful. But honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Every option is made with care, and always leaves you full and happy.

If you’re looking for a place where great food and genuine hospitality meet, this is it. I’ll always recommend State Fair Coney Island to anyone in the area!“

“Been going there for several years. I like the service. No fooling around no loud talking, laughing out loud, just taking care of business.It’s quiet, professional service, everybody working, and most of the time they got my eggs just like I like them. can’t say anything negative about omega, and I always run into Brenda sitting right on the end at the counter. They know who Brenda is, but you guys might not. I’ll give omega 10 stars.“

“If Katrell (Pineapple Daddy) wasn't here...I wouldn't make it a mandatory location. He makes sure my party is happy and that everything is everything. The food is excellent and the service is as well!“

“The shakes were amazing! The atmosphere was so cute! I'm so glad we had the chance to check this place! We will definitely recommend it to anyone we know who will be in the area. My only complaint was the staff could be a little more welcoming and enthusiastic. The lady at the door was on her phone on a facetime call when we came in (which she did appologize for but didn't get off the phone) and the waitress just seemed short and not really happy. She wasn't rude and got our order right, so I still gave it 5 stars. It just seemed with the atmosphere that they would be a little bubblier and more enthusiastic. But I would still definitely come there again. I still gave 5 stars for service because maybe it was an off day and like I said they didn't mess our order up and were quick.“

“The slim Jim's are more like they used to be back in the 70s and 80s. Gotta love a good Slim Jim. One thing I noticed about the Wyandotte Big Boy is that the tomatoes did not have a yellow center. They looked like they were grown in your home garden. 😊“

“Been getting deliciousness many years for family Christmas gathering. Relatives always look forward to our contribution to the feast!!“

“Quiet and peaceful. profession was on point.“

“Excellent place for great food and service. We had a wonderful time. Also great price for the quality of food“

“i am a first time customer through doordash — if i could leave 10 stars, i would!! i am impressed with how well my food was packaged and prepared. when the food arrived, not only was it still hot, but they even took the time to label each container and draw a little image representing its contents. food was delicious and reasonably priced. i will definitely be returning!“

“place is great! now you are doing stand up nights? hell yes“

“😃try his bacon cheeseburger with homemade potatoes“

“Try EVERYTHING....!!! Trust Me..“

“Visiting town for the game and decided to stop by the Detroit beer company with a group of my friends. They were very accommodating for our big group. Our server was Sherry and I want to brag on her because her smile , attentiveness and personality blew us away. We let her decide our cocktails and food and we all left full , satisfied and definitely ready to visit again tomorrow. Stop by and check out this brewery“

“I’ve been coming to Family Treats since I was a little girl—back when it was still called Tasty Freeze. The ice cream was always a favorite, and I loved their Coney dogs. Now, years later, I get to share those same memories with my own children. Today, they enjoyed the mozzarella sticks and chili cheese fries, generously treated by my mom. I’m so grateful we can still come here as a family, relive old times, and create new memories together. Places like this are rare gems—filled with tradition, comfort food, and heart.“
