Restaurants in Ferndale

“I recommend going to see Stephanie. She was more than attentive we were never in need for anything! She gives a new meaning to service with a smile. My wife and I have been back many times just for her good cheer she seems to pass on to all around her! 5 stars for Stephanie and Como’s for having such a great staff!”

“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.”

“My husband’s favorite place for Italian!”

“Had an awesome experience there this evening with my family celebrating my son-in-law‘s birthday .The waitress was awesome. Food was delicious and the place was amazing . Love the bathrooms will return and recommend this to my friends.”

“So enjoyed this experience! Great time had by all. Will do this again.”

“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!”

“great ambiance with good vibes. drink menu has a few staples but otherwise change every so often. i came here with a larger group of friends and the staff was awesome as well!”

“We had Regina’s at our backyard wedding this past weekend and we couldn’t recommend them enough. They were incredibly easy to work with, organized, timely, and professional while providing delicious food! Our guest raved about their tacos and served food very quickly. We would love to have them at other functions and will seek them out wherever their truck is at. Truly couldn’t recommend Regina’s food truck enough!”

“I love this place and the people who took care of us. We had a party of ten and everything was very good. What stood out to me the most was how out of the way the employees went for us. I ordered something to go also and paid for it and forgot about it and left in a hurry because I had the tickets for an event we were attending on the next block. I didn't get his name but a nice man actually came to the event to find the person who forgot their takeout order. The server remembered me saying we were going there next. He went back and got my takeout and brought it back to me. You just don't find as many people that nice who cares as much these days.”

“Go for brunch, get a coffee, some food, relax, browse the internet, play board games, etc. Plenty of variety. A quirky , fun, experimental, artistic vibe atmosphere, unique for a Cafe/Brewery”

“A large menu of creative products spanning mead, cider, beer, smoothies, and more. The interior is comfortable for both groups and single people. I just wish they had an outdoor garden area.”

“Rickey was our server and was amazing! We stopped by for lunch and the sushi was so fresh and delicious!! 10/10 recommended! Get the Dynamic Dynamite - comes to your table on fire!”

“good people and great product”

“It is a laid back atmosphere. The bar tender was very pleasant. She made us feel very welcomed. It's just a little small in there, but enjoyable for a small group. The cigar wasn't bad either, and I don't smoke.”

“Very popular restaurant and bar. We came on the weekend this time for brunch. Large menu with omelets, benedicts, french toasts. Regular menu has wings,sandwiches and ? .We got the wings and they(3)were large full and sticky. Our omelettes were good with plenty inside. The French toast too. My friend thought their benedict not their best and probably wouldn't get it again. Ask about gluten free or vegan. Betty get GF bread or bun please.

It was busy and the crowd was watching the game so it was fun. Tony U was our server and was on it. ?
Cocktails were pricey to me considering the size

Parking: Free on Sunday and need ferndale parking app otherwise”

“Stopped here while I was in Michigan visiting family. The staff was very nice. They had lots of vegan options and everything that was vegan was labeled. I decided to get an acai bowl. Both options had a rawnola topping and because the bowls were labeled raw and dairy free but not vegan, I asked if the rawnola had raw honey in it. They said they didn't know, so I added almond butter on top of the acai bowl instead of the rawnola. The acai bowl was pretty good, but a little small for the price. I also tried a raw apple fig ball which was yummy! Overall this was a cool place to go for lunch, but a little pricey. They had lots of options (including several raw vegan options) to choose from and pretty much all ingredients were labeled. They had a few counter seats and one outside table for seating.”

“If you are looking for a chill vibe with excellent drinks, come to Traverse City Whiskey Outpost in Ferndale! The manager, Dave is the best - he's friendly, attentive, and a true mixologist! I love it here :)”

“we didn't even get served or get any food. they refused to serve us. it took near 10 minutes for some woman to even come over and bring us to a table. after that we watched as their servers sat at the bar, and helped every one of the maybe 6 tables in the entire place that were occupied except us. they clearly have some problem with gay people as they had no issues helping any of the other guests. i watched the servers acknowledge us and just go help the other tables. we have previously had uncomfortable experiences every single time we have been there where the male servers say things under their breath until they get so irritated with us that the female hostesses have to complete our service. i truly am astonished that someone who runs a small business/restaurant would be treating people who want to eat there like that. every employee in the establishment behaved as if we made them visibly uncomfortable so maybe consider going somewhere else if you're looking for dinner. Finally, the service was already bad to begin with on top of their utter and complete refusal to serve us this last time that we tried going. I would suggest giving your money to a restaurant that isn't fully run and owned by losers who clearly don't want money!”

“Coeur is my favorite place to get a smash burger. So delicious every time and service is always amazing. Attentive but not overwhelming! Highly recommend this restaurant (and their amazing patio) for anyone looking for a quick bite or a celebratory dinner!!”

“The good was Great! Service was great….”

“Wednesday nights after Choir Practice at the FERNDALE First United Methodist Church- Debbie David & RUBY! Love to go to The CORNER Restaurant & DetAXE to have food, drinks, and sing KARAOKE at the best venue in Fabulous FERNDALE! Marissa has the best group of Singers anywhere in the Detroit Metro Area. The food is amazing and the Bar is awesome too. Come hear me sing either at. The Church or at The CORNER!”

“Love that there are many options - I love the tea options so many great flavors. Great prices for the size you get as well. Customer was amazing when I came and gave me great recommendations I can’t wait till I come back to try more flavors because my drink was good especially In this summer heat it was so refreshing.”

“Good beer, good food truck! “Simply Spanish!””

“Ate here last night for Valentine’s Day date with my husband. First visit to this location and it was top notch! Our server Alejandro was attentive and on top of things and so friendly. Food and atmosphere was excellent and margaritas great. We will definitely be back ! ❤️”

“Lexy was our server / bartender and she was just phenomenal!! The food was amazing, the drinks were on point and the service by Lexy was hospitable and prompt. She was wonderful, as was the whole experience!!”

“This weekend we visited Detroit Fleat to check out their brunch, and I have to say it’s one of the most family-friendly and pet-friendly restaurants we’ve been to all summer. The restaurant has ample space for strollers and high chairs. The outdoor patio and kid play area are a huge plus — it allowed us to relax and enjoy our meal while our daughter had fun.

Our server, Marissa, was excellent — a true 10/10. Her patience, service, and attention to detail made the experience even better.

For food, we ordered the Breakfast Burrito, Breakfast Nachos, Pancakes, and Mac and Cheese for our daughter. Everything was delicious — we’d give it all a 10/10, except the pancakes, which we’d rate a 7/10.

The ambiance was relaxed and laid-back, perfect for a weekend brunch. One small area for improvement is the host stand — when we first walked in, there was no greeter, and we only got seated after walking inside and being directed by staff behind the bar.

Overall, we loved the experience and especially the patio. We’ll definitely be back soon to enjoy more time outside with both family and friends.”

“Wonderful food. Social distancing at it finest. Thank you Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄”

“The steak focaccia sandwich was AMAZING!!!!! HIGH RECOMMENDED!!!!”

“The best Indian food In Michigan ,loved it and recommended to others”

“The service is amazing! Great spin on diner classics and they make your order exactly the way you ask for it! It’s a bit pricey for breakfast but that par for the course in this economy… also be prepared to wait on the weekends!”

“We hosted a 40th birthday party here a few weeks ago and could not have had a better experience! The staff were friendly and helpful. The drinks were wonderful and the room worked perfectly for our needs. I absolutely would use Urbanrest again as an event space! Thank you so much to the entire crew for making our party memorable.”

“the new bourbon cheesecake is fantastic. should have gotten another piece for sure. soo good”

“Love this place! Thanks Mike for the awesome food experience of Tall Tree Cafe. I’ve been hearing some great stuff about Tall Trees for a while and had to check it out. The menu is simple and delicious. The staff was friendly and appreciative of our business. I really enjoyed the Spicy Mortadella. The bread was so fresh. This place offers sandwiches, salads, and tasty dips. The French Onion dip was yummy. They do cold brews and hot coffee also. I strongly recommend this place. Easy parking in Ferndale.”

“Love the creativity and especially the variety in nondairy ice creams. All the delight without any of the devastation of consuming normal ice creams 😉”

“Been here a few times since moving to Ferndale. I'm yet to have the same dish twice, and have NEVER been disappointed. The owner and staff are super friendly, my food is always ready quick, and the menu/weekly specials always have something interesting. I only wish they were open later for night owls like myself, but they're worth getting up earlier for. Go for the entrees, but don't forget to grab dessert there, too! The Coconut Cream Cake that was on special the day I'm writing this might be the best piece of cake I've ever had.”

“Amazing BBQ! Imo the best around. Very limited menu on days they are open, but that just means everything on the menu is to die for! I recommend this place to everybody!”

“This place have a really good Indian food in Ferndale love chicken Rikki massala, lamb and garlic Naan, the owner it’s so nice and respect Tazil”

“Everything.. Their customer service is great, their food is phenomenal and by far one of the best nachos I've ever had.”

“Best around town. Our go to Thai.”

“We love their staff, atmosphere, location, and coffee! It's a great place for a team meeting and we love it!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“"Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came!" Hambo is EXCELLENT all the way around! Great food, consistent customer service that makes you feel right at home, and the staff has been a real blessing to me, my husband, and our children! We are at Hambo all the time and love the feeling of family. Keep it up, Hambo and thank you for all that you have been to us! We truly appreciate it!”

“I genuinely have nothing but positive things to say about Kabar! I reached out about an omakase catering event for my sister's bachelorette party. Tommy called me and we had an in depth discussion of everyone's budgets, likes, dislikes, etc. He was incredibly responsive and a pleasure to work with and helped curate a fully customized menu. The chefs arrived early and were extremely accommodating to everyone's preferences-- and the sushi was so delicious! They created a very interactive program where they even taught us how to make a roll! Our experience with Kabar was unique and memorable. I could not recommend them more!”

“I have never once in all my years as a customer gotten home and thought... I've bought too much bread from the Secret Bakery.

It's easily some of the best food you can put in your mouth. Just stop in and buy something to eat already, you've been reading this review for too long.”

“Omg so nice and professional!!! I'm a new customer I will be back thanks Mia and Tiara very good!. Hard to find great help,and customer service. Being young and professional that's what's up!”

“Loved that there are so many options for vegans and tacos are stuffed to the max. Great for a snack or a sampling feast. Cocktail and mocktail options are delicious too.”

“Drive thru or walk up with outdoor seating. No indoor dining. Food is good. Recommend the maple waffle sandwich. The chicken sausage is not the typical sausage seasoning. It is mild and let's the flavor of the egg, cheese and maple come through. Absolutely delicious.”

“Great food awesome people”

“I had the Chicken Athena tonight. Outstanding! Fresh ingredients including fresh olives, and chicken. You could pay 2-3 times more at other restaurants, and not nearly as good as Christine's. This place is a real find!”

“Just visiting from NY and came to this coffee shop/brewery. The food was delicious, coffee was strong and the atmosphere was impeccable!! I’d definitely come back here next time I visit.”

“This place gets it right! Quick bite, date night, treat dinner it’s great for everything. Shout out to Lev for some immaculate service on our last visit, really made a tough evening much more pleasant!”

“strawberry rhubarb poptart is AMAZING!”

“You’ll always be happy with Papa’s. A mix between comfort American food and Coney Island. Great wraps, Pitas, Gyros, Salads and desserts. Their i house made KoolAid is amazing. Love their cookies n cream shake for dessert. I can say, we’ve never had a disappointing or wrong order from Papas.”

“Delicioso autentico sabor peruano!!!!”

“I work next door in Ferndale, And when I tell you they have the most incredibly, delicious, moist, vegan chocolate zucchini bread, I mean it. 😍”

“Thee best Thai food. I get the red curry w chicken and extra fresh beans sprouts....and the chicken wings. They are like no other. Thee bestest. Not even a close comparison.”

“This was my first exposure to Vietnamese food and it was a great experience. The meal was very tasty, great portions, reasonable pricing, very friendly staff and I am so glad we ate here. Definitely will be back.”

“Purr 🐱 THERE IS STILL NO PAPER TOWEL IN THE BATHROOM”

“Everything is always fantastic. ❤️❤️❤️”

“The Java Hutt Coffee Shop is close to my residence locally with free wifi and a relaxed atmosphere...”

“Beautiful location, clean and cozy, excellent service.. the Döner kebab & fries did not disappoint... Will definitely be returning to get a taste of being back in Germany and getting a Döner.”

“I always grab lunch or dinner from here & i am never disappointed! Menu changes daily!”

“The best cookies and cinnamon roll in Metro Detroit. The cinnamon rolls are huge, made fresh and served warm on the weekends. They are always a big hit at my Open Houses! Highly recommend both, and I look forward to trying the ice cream cookie sandwich. it looks amazing, you can customize your sandwich by choosing your choice of cookies and ice cream flavors.”

“Delicious fresh juices, smoothies, and sandwiches 😋”

“Great Bagels, wonderful salt sticks. All very fresh”

“Kyle the owner is so great and loves the community. The staff is hand picked and friendly always, I love how they ask what you doing today. Coffee is always delicious.”

“I live in the neighborhood, like the bar however this outdoor bar could reinvent itself as a beachside surf bar, serve tropical cocktails and beer, paint everything baby blue with surf boards and coconuts and actually use the rooftop.But the WAB chooses to be a boring monopoly instead.”

“Went here for my Mother's Day brunch with my husband and our two children. Started with the Billionaires Bacon. The bacon isn't much to write home about, but the sauce they put on it? Makes it 100% worth it! I got the Smothered Potatoes and added two eggs to the top, they were out of carnitas, so they used chorizo. In my option they should change it permanently! So delish! My husband got the Carnitas Benny, and said it was really good too! Will be back for sure!”

“It was the right amout of rachet to classy that was perfect! This place is cool and unique. One half is inside and the other is outside with a big tree in thr middle giving the feel of being inside while being outside. They had lots of heaters out there also so I would imagine this place is a vibe year round”

“I did not order food, however, the atmosphere was what I was looking for laid back rustic look inside. The service was attentive and quick Becca, the bartender, was very friendly and was engaged with all the guests, regulars, or not”

“I’ve enjoyed myself each time ‼️🤞🏾❣️💃🏾”

“Was there for a birthday party so we were in the back of the restaurant. But the service was yet fast and efficient. Our server Allison was super sweet and a wonderful help as we placed separate orders aside from what was already provided in the large party. It’s easy to complain about slow service and rude customer service. But Allison went above and beyond in her kindness to us and it’s certainly worth mentioning! She had another young lady working alongside her (can’t remember her name, but she wore glasses, mild in her temperament, and was very polite as well. Very sweet girl!) Will definitely be coming back. Thanks so much!”

“Friendly service! Their breakfast sandwiches and donuts are delicious! Can’t wait to try the cupcakes!”

“Food 🥘 was good service was great”

“So cute good small plates”

“Can't mess up ice cream. But the day 1 workers really hold it down. Once every blue moon, I'll get a bad order, but asking them to fix it is what makes awesome they're just like " Sorry here's a better one" the crew is amazing. The only thing I would say is when its busy it's B U S Y !!! ”

“I saw some reviews on here of people who werent impressed or had bad experiences and they almost drove me away from trying this place. Anyway, i went and need to say this place makes an amazing burger and fries. I hope they keep it consistent because it was the best burger I’ve had in Michigan and the fries are everything i want out of a french fry - crispy, salty, actually taste like potatoes… they remind me of belgian fries.

Give it a shot and I hope your experience is as good as mine. My arteries are doomed.”

“Brie was very attentive and kind while we ate. Got the Avocado Ranch burger with the veggie patty instead and it was good. their hummus is a little bland but everything else was good. big selection of stuff to chose from and has something for just about anyone. Service was the best part of it tho”

“The only Chinese food I will get, have been coming here for a while now off and on. When I have that taste in my mouth I am here for sure. Very friendly owners, very clean place, food is fresh and tasty, and I like the area as well, clean, and friendly.”

“Alexis gave excellent customer service. The food was fresh and great, would highly recommend. Probably best to order before arriving doh. I only ever see one person doing everything.”

“I ordered a original Corned Beef sandwich. The sandwich was delicious, but they didn't toast the bread like I asked. It was soggy, so I just ate the inside. They always get it right when I order thru GrubHub, but who wants to pay $40 for a sandwich!”

“4 stars because they only seem to do the same music. Why not house music? Makes no sense. Same crowd always? Maybe they know something I dont
Also 43 bucks was too much”
