Restaurants in Detroit

“Selden Standard sets the bar by which we measure all other restaurants. We've been coming here for 10 years and have never had a bad experience. The food, drinks, service and ambiance are consistently excellent!”

“Wow. What an absolutely fantastic final dinner of 2023! After we managed to find a late dinner reservation for New Year's Eve, it was a relief to discover that our excitement about the tasting menu was well-placed. I would definitely recommend the drink pairings as well! The amuse-bouche featuring oysters from the West and East coasts was a delightful way to splash into the meal. The wasabi and the mangosteen featured in each of the oysters, respectively, complimented the beautiful brine of the oysters in such a wonderfully playful way. This first tasting urged us to pause the menu progression and order an extra dozen oysters to explore the other possibilities. Tasting from Vancouver to Prince Edward Island, they were beautifully prepared and of excellent quality. The first course of lobster salad felt like a summer in Maine. Not that I've ever been to Maine, but the imaginary scene flashed across my vision as I took that first refreshing bite. The grapefruit emulsion worked almost majestically with the light, refreshing flavor of the lobster salad. The tapioca chip was perfect for the crunch to fully bring the different elements of the dish together. A fascinating intersection of refreshment and comfort. The second course was the potato pavé. I'll be thinking of this potato often for the foreseeable future. It was one of those dishes that makes your eyes pop open a bit when you bite it as you realize how good it is. A beautifully layered and seared rectangle of flaky delicious potato resting with a lovely salsa brava speckled with trout roe, topped with tarragon, cured trout, and black truffle flakes. I don't even know what else to say. It was stunning. Sea urchin buttered ramen, the third course, will always be what I wish my at-home thrown-together ramen could be. It was rich, it was luscious, it was comforting. Growing up in southeast Texas, crawfish boils were always some of the most exciting times of the year. The crawfish tails in the ramen brought me back to those summer days eating crawfish with a cold beer. The duck breast for the fourth course was exceptionally cooked. It was juicy and flavorful and made a perfect bite with a bit of cauliflower, raisins, apricot, agrodolce, and foie-sauce. Each bite was such a symphony of flavor that kept me coming back. Last but absolutely not least was the gâteau ardéchois: the chestnut cream cake. Accompanied by cranberry coulis and crispy meringue bites, this dessert was a sweet but still mellow finish. While the coffee mascarpone ice cream was a robust and complementary flavor, we both agreed the vanilla coconut ice cream was the star between the two. Thank you again to the stellar crew at Mink! Happy New Year!”

“We had a wonderful dinner. Each dish was perfectly prepared, and interesting flavor profiles dominated. For example, the roasted cauliflower came with a sauce having masala overtones combined with brined olives and almonds. Special shout out for the bavette.”

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

“We recently celebrated my husband’s birthday at The Highlands, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. Every course we had was fantastic, showcasing the exceptional culinary skills of the kitchen. The view from the restaurant is truly unbeatable, adding an extra layer of magic to our evening.”

“This is the best Coney Island hands down. If you haven't been here yet, you are missing out on the most delicious counties in the world. If you're planning a road trip to Detroit, be sure and put the Lafayette Coney Island as one of the places to visit. I Only Wish They Were Open Later Than They Are Now.”

“I originally shared a review with the poor experience my husband and I had during a celebratory brunch. Since then, Le Supreme’s team reached out (not sure if you can see their response) through my review but also my email. They invited us back to try again and I’m glad we did.

Instead of brunch, we came back for dinner service. Again, the food was phenomenal. We enjoyed the mushroom tart appetizer, followed by the Lapin La Moutarde (rabbit & pasta) and filet mignon au poivre.

The mushroom was delicious. It was cheesy and savory. The crust it sits on is perfectly flaky, yet soft. I cannot commend Le Supreme enough for how well the pasta was cooked. Typically, restaurants go for al dente but this can sometimes lead to undercooked noodles. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce had a wonderful hint of mustard. It was not over powering. The rabbit was not gamey at all and so very tender. The filet mignon was also perfectly cooked. If you do not like peppercorn, I’d recommend getting a different dish because it is a prominent flavor. But it melted in your mouth as perfectly cooked piece of meat shot.

Outside of the food, the service was spectacular and the staff was so kind. The food came out promptly and we were given the correct dishes. Thanks having us again and I look forward to future Le Supreme visits.”

“The service, food and atmosphere was perfect.”

“Super fresh subs and veggie tray. Gonella's trays were a hit for our party!”

I highly suggest you visit this wonderful establishment, it will not disappoint!!”

“Visiting from Nashville for the weekend looking for city hidden gems and we definitely found it at Willis Show Bar!!It was a great date night choice for grown and sexy. The live band was amazing, played well together and the drinks were delicious. I would definitely revisit if I’m in Detroit.”

“everything was very good, we sat at the bar and McKenzie took really good care of us, a must try spot!”

“Luke was an excellent driver on Detroit Rolling Pub. He was lots of fun and a careful and alert driver.”

“Lena presents unique blend of authentic Spanish and nouvelle American cuisine. When I walked in, I saw the staff near the wood fired oven plating a dish that looked enticing. When I inquired what it was they shared it with me. That kind gesture had me hooked and set the stage! Alisha of the service staff was knowledgeable, personable., and attentive. It pays to be adventurous here. several dishes were surprisingly tasty, including the Tapenade. The Pulpo was the best I have experienced and showcased the wood-fired cooking.”

“Where do I start, let’s start with the best. The tostada with blue fin tuna can go down as one of the best dishes I have ever had. Top 100 list for sure. I love the decor, staff is awesome, chefs did a great job on everything. An excellent selection of mezcal and an unbelievably good espresso martini. I love the tortilla, fresh, with a unique blend of blue, yellow, and white corn. ( I wish they sold them to go)”

“Great foodie experience! Jake our waiter was amazing! Excellent food and service!!! Desserts delicious! Go now!”

“We had a fantastic dinner celebration on Sunday and we were amazed! The food was delicious. Lauren is a great server and was friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back in October for my mom’s bday.”

“Had a few pre-dinner drinks here. Such a beautiful and intimate lounge. It looks like Mariah Carey’s house on MTV cribs back in the early 2000’s. I mean that in the best way possible. Our bartender Alec was kind and attentive and made us awesome drinks. One of which I really loved called the Scarlet Begonia. We will definitely be back to see Alec!”

“Detroit was alive this past Saturday. Lions pre game win. Diamond was our server and she could have not been more pleasant! We sampled the Must Have garlic knots, Italian salad, pesto Pizza, traditional pepperoni and a spicy arbitrata pasta. The pasta dish was very spicy. We like that but if you're sensitive to heat that might not be your choice. The food was great and we had a great time.”

“Food was amazing and staff was incredible”

“We had dinner here last night and the food was absolutely amazing! I could've eaten a whole bowl of the hummus. We are excited to go back and try some other menu options. It was also great that the chef/owner came out to talk to us and tell us about some of the recipes. What a treat! If you're looking for something different and great food, this is the place to go!”

“Really enjoyed our brunch. Everything on the menu was great.”

“I just spent a week drinking through some of the best cocktail bars in Tel Aviv and was reminded how none of them come even close to the amazing cocktails that the Kevin, Kyle, and the rest of the Castalia team come up with! Each visit to Castalia, be it your first or one thousandth, is magical and wonderful!”

“We came here for date night a couple days before they officially opened. The food and service were superb, and the vibe was amazing. We tried bits from every section of the menu. The drinks were incredible as well. Only complaint was that our table was right next to a table on the upper level so we could easily hear each other's conversations.”

“Best I’ve had in a long time. The sourdough crust is perfect, and the toppings were fresh and delicious. Just perfect.”

“Atmosphere, beautiful restaurant. Drinks were outstanding, food was incredible. Celebrating my Birthday. Exactly what I wanted, all of the above. Plus, great friends. Always get the broccoli appetizer!”

“Never disappointed with anything I’ve ever had there and every time I bring someone to try it they absolutely love it.”

“Delicious hamburgers since forever. Never disappoints!”

“Definitely recommend you give Starz a try! The food is pretty good and you get a lot for your money.The restaurant is clean and convenient.And the staff is great!! After the first couple times I went the girl taking my order Miranda knew it was me even though it had been awhile.Shes always very sweet and friendly! They have a large selection.Definitely worth checking it out!”

“We had a gift card from the Detroit Redwings that we had to use, and we are so glad that they threw in the gift card. I had the 10 oz steak and it was incredible but the dessert was my favorite. We ordered something called The Game and it was incredible. I highly recommended this place.”

“Henry Ford hospital subway, it was clean and the employees were polite. Parking was crazy especially if you just went to get subway lol I recommend it but only if you are already at the ”

“I loved the atmosphere & the great service”

“Not a bad little coney. I stopped in for breakfast to-go: eggs, hash browns, and sausage, and it was good. To be honest, it's not the best I've ever had, but for the price, it's amazing. Staff I encountered was friendly and polite. Will definitely be eating here on the regular.”

“Restaurant is nice & clean, the service was good & the food was amazing. I had the chicken quesadilla and it is beyond delicious ... Gotta try it, u won't be sorry”

“This is a really good they try to kick off the food as fast as possible the McDonald's that is next door doesn't have any employees 10 McDonald's has so many problems it took me 45 minutes to get to 8 McMuffins in the ”

“Try the cardiac burger, served in a glazed donut. The price is a little steep, but for downtown Detroit not too bad. The selection in the market is good—BBQ chicken from the pit is good value and the sauce selection while limited, are all good.”

“Cars leaving the drive thru, we waited an hour. Food was cold. Extremely under staffed. It's becoming the norm for them,even when not busy,the wait is unbelievable..”

“Always go there for my grilled chicken salad.
But lately I believe Detroit police should offer them more assistance on weekends.
It was a couple in the parking lot scared to go in and order food myself and another guy went and placed their order for them. I couldn't accept payment from them I guess the other guy needed help. But will the intoxicated people makes bad business. I know everybody wants to eat good food.”

“One of my favorite late night/early morning spots to eat in Detroit. The menu is massive with a great selection of breakfast lunch and dinner options. Prices are food and food is prepared and served quickly.The staff is always helpful and polite.”

“Amazing customer service. The cashier was so sweet. I feel horrible that the workers don't have air conditioning inside. It is too hot to work in those conditions. Hopefully white castle will fix that issue soon”

“Just got an inexpensive breakfast this morning. It was great! Good portion, very well cooked and was ready in a reasonable amount of time. The price was great too. They are priced less than most places with a less quality product. Great Experience.”

“One of my fave places to go to get breakfast. They have amazing super affordable food. It’s in a great location. Parking is always available. Workers are great. I will always come back.”

“Great food and service within the beautiful city of Detroit.”

“Delicious food but you have to come early since they get busy so fast so you’ll be waiting. I don’t mind the waiting since I can have a drink and hangout in the meantime but the most recent time I went we were quoted an hour wait(no big deal) but then waited another hour once we ordered for our food to arrive. I’ll still be back though since I love the food!”

“Great place to meet up with a friend for coffee or study for your next final. Very cute and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere! I ordered their croque monsieur sandwich and it was devilishly cheesy, I was very happy!! They also advertise swing dancing on Tuesday nights which seem to be a fun activity to do mid week!”

“OMG highly recommend, The food was amazing! The young lady that waited on me and my mom was very knowledgeable making the experience Seamless. Definitely will be a return customer!! If you looking for a healthy option with an amazing taste GO!!!”

“This was such an unexpected gem of a place. The food was great. The gluten free pizza with vegan cheese was delicious. I couldn't believe the crust was gluten free. And the servers were friendly and helpful.

Dietary restrictions: Amazing options!”

“Delish food and super friendly staff! Would recommend!”

“Oh MAN Rocco's is the place I have searched for in vain until last year when I tried them for the first time. Since that first meatball sub I have had almost every sandwich on the menu and so far not one has disappointed! Today I had the Corner Deli and was transported to Italian paradiso! In case you non-Italians did not know, ciabatta is the Italian baguette and Rocco's bakes many fresh loaves several times per day! Usually it is still warm from the oven even if you get a cold sandwich! There is no better sandwich bread in my progenic-Italian opinion! They are in Midtown on Cass just East of Mack. Try them if you have yet to do so. You will thank the gods!”

“love love the pork tacos!! best in Detroit”

“Love it really nice vibe for a date or girls night out”

“Very "hip" brunch spot in a nice part of town. We enjoyed all the snacks and items we ordered. If you are in the area and hungry, it's a good place to be.”

“Beat Coneys anywhere. Fast and friendly service. The fries are the bomb.”

“As a tourist, this cafe stands out when you are walking around. I love the outdoor seating and the sizeable cake display will have you drooling. At 22 dollars for two coffees and two plain croissants, prices are on the high side - but definitely still worth a visit.”

“Best restaurant in Detroit Metro airport sit at the bar for first class service!”

“Overall in comparison to other Mexican restaurants that are within the same area in Detroit this restaurant was very good. I enjoyed the spicy salsa a lot. The chips were good but I wish they had been thinner.
The rice and beans were some of the best I’ve had in comparison to other Mexican restaurants (who serve similar rice and beans). I had the quesadilla dinner (chicken) and it was good. I also ordered guacamole and I’ve had better. There was no seasoning in it.

Service was good and the staff were very friendly. The menu is expansive.”

“Food was very good. Love the old school atmosphere.”

“Great food and great customer service. I’ve tried alot of places but they are definitely the best”

“I’ve passed this place several times and finally had a chance to try it today. Some of the best chicken wings I’ve ever had in my life. Cooked fresh to order and they did not disappoint! Very nice people , very talkative and helpful. Well worth the less than 10 min wait. I will be back soon for sure. I am a fried chicken lover and they are easily top 3 I’ve had. Thank you”

“Saw a long line and was concerned I’d be late for class but I was in and out within 20 minutes with a great meal and great customer service these guys do it right”

“I wish I could rate Marrow 10/5! We ate on the patio last night and had exceptional service with Margie who was just phenomenal and helped us order a delicious feast. Between six of us we tried almost every starter and salad and multiple mains. The flavors and attention to detail were just incredible. There wasn’t a single sleeper dish on the menu. We will definitely be back!!”

“Excellent service, delicious food and it all happened under the red lighting. Be prepared to park on the street as the parking lot only has 6 or 7 parking spot.”

“First time back in Detroit (home) in many years. This used to be the top shelf restaurant back in the 70s when my parents went out and dined. It hasn't lost its vibe and reputation as one of the finest in the “D”! Food was fresh and excellent, Pete our waiter was phenomenal and the ambiance was top notch. Highly recommend this as a must eat if in downtown Detroit. After dinner they have a nice cigar bar to enjoy a smoke and some after dinner drinks.”

“Overall experience was good. We were sat prior to a piano player playing, would have liked to have been asked if we minded sitting right in front of piano, had we known they would be playing. Wait staff was nice- however came over too often and was sharing too many personal stories without prompting and called us little chickadees which was just odd.”

“Beautiful place for a special occasion.”

“Great location in the heart of the city! The detail of this restaurant is amazing. We experienced the best service from Juan. He took his time in going through the menu with us. He was attentive and made sure our visit was pleasant. Management thanked us for dining. What a nice touch. Our favorite dish was the pepper steak, corn and spicy edamame.”

“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!”

“There is the best Bakery in the city hands down! If you want a delicious and moist cake this is where you come. I absolutely love them, when you walk in they make you feel like family. People always ask me where I get my cakes from! “TREAT” yourself to Go-Gos❤️”

“STELLAR SERVICE I haven’t had the opportunity to dine at Table No.2. However, I would like to speak to the level of professionalism, integrity, impressive disposition, and good taste the owner, Omar , exudes. I attended an event held at one of his other restaurants last night in Royal Oak where I had the opportunity to observe his attention to detail and his interactions with guests. To say he is accommodating and pleasant is a vast understatement. He is the epitome of what doing “Good Business”entails--something to be truly appreciated and admired! Thank you, Omar, for facilitating an awesome experience! 5 STARS!”

“I can’t say enough about our dining experience! This restaurant is on my TOP list here in Nashville and I will now frequent. Everything from start to finish was superb! Our waiter Sid was nothing g more than AMAZING and the manager was very nice and came by to say hello! The FOOOOOD was SO good it’s definitely worth it!!”

“Easily hands down one of the best steaks I have ever had! From the moment we walked in until we left everything was outstanding- the service, the food, the atmosphere. Would HIGHLY recommend!”

“I can count on one hand the amount of places I've been and experienced this level of umami. the quality checklist of atmosphere, food, cocktails, music and service are outstanding to say the least. just.. come here and see for yourself.”

“Cafe Prince is a really cool spot tucked away next to a beautiful little courtyard. The interior serves up modern design vibes with concrete walls, glass blocks and colourful murals/art/tables.

The Maple Shakerato was so smooth and delicious and I really enjoyed my ricotta toast with chunks of mango and a dusting of sumac.”

“Great food, atmosphere, and customer service! Pie Sci is one of our favorite restaurants to eat whenever we're in Detroit!”

“I haven't been here yet, but form what I see it seems like it is a pretty nice lil cocktail bar.”

“Amazing Iraqi authentic food, Amazing people Abu Ali is one of the greatest people I’ve met and his son Ali is awesome greeting us with open arms and offered a bunch for food for an amazing price the food is really good and flavorful the kabobs are juicy and the stews are top notch food is made with heart over here I recommend this place every time I get”

“We held my daughter’s wedding rehearsal dinner here. We reserved the second floor and it was perfect. We wanted a casual atmosphere and this setting did not disappoint. There’s so much history in this building .. opened in the 1800’s as a saloon and still retains some of the original brick and wood floors which made for some great pictures. Service and food were outstanding.”

“This is my first time here, and they did not disappoint me either. I was interested in the Birria Tocos and had wanted to try them for a long time. They were delicious and filling, and I also had the Asada fries. They were icing on the cake for me. I'll be back sooner than later ❤️❤️”

“The food is divine and the portions are massive. I watched how freshly the meal was made. The family that runs this restaurant is so kind and uplifting. Truly the best gyros I’ve ever had. I love seeing local folks succeed!”

“Great place to hang out in Detroit. Friendly staff, good food, live music and fun venue with good people.”

“Best ice cream and non dairy ice cream I have ever had”

“Seriously amazing. I will be back.”

“Best fish and chips around. A real treasure. Every one so polite and pleasant. Thank you”

“Great bar and very friendly people here. The neighborhood is such a great place!”

“Great vibe. The ambiance is lively, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Their selection of craft beers is impressive, with a variety of unique and flavorful options to choose from. The atmosphere is perfect for both a casual hangout with friends or a relaxed solo visit.

The only downside is that they serve their drinks in plastic cups. It would be great to see them switch to glassware for a better drinking experience and a more environmentally friendly approach.”

“My favorite place to Dine”
