Very disappointed. Food was over rated and overpriced. The whole menu had 5 items to choose from. Such a wasted trip. I can't believe I drove a hour and a half for this place.

The system here is broke, man. It's confusing to get tokens but the token system isn't automated so.younhave to wait for someone at the cashier window. And then the line at the bar snakes thru the whole place when they're busy. The system seems to be set up for efficiency but it isn't delivering.

Here with my family and i'm the DD. I think it's absolutely amazing they reward DD with a free token for next time. That alone makes me recommend.

Food was great. The honey biscuits are spectacular and not overly sticky or sweet. The beer was ice cold and they had good local offerings.

I didn't have any food, but drinks were cold and vibe was chill. Would like to go back and review again when I can remember more.

Beer was OK. The chicken was very bland from Penny Reds. It was our only choice after multiple trys at places that were reservation only. The rolls were the best part. Get them smother they are a 5/5.

Clean your draft lines. Got a flight 2 out of the 3 beers were bad. Obvious beers went bad or draft lines don’t get cleaned

If you want the best fried chicken in the US, it's here, in downtown detroit. All homemade sauces. No major brand condiments becuase, with this flavor why would you need them? I've fried chicken myself fie 8 years. This place made me understand I am an amateur.

One of my favorite downtown spots back home. The beers are decent and there’s a lot of space to find seating.
