The music and service from Iyanna were amazing, and then Chef Sebastian came out to introduce himself to us. Such a fantastic experience overall—you won’t regret going there for a special occasion! ❤️“

“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😳“

“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 am not a food critic. But I have the time while flying back home to reflect on dinner last night. The experience was so amazing that I had to leave a glowing review. I seldom take the time to do so.

Marrow is top shelf dining experience. My friends and I went all in with the food paring ($90) and drink paring ($45) options. Pricey but well worth it. 3 small but flavorful starters, a wonderful pear salad, a chorizo and gnocchi dish head of the main event… a 7oz flat iron steak cooked to perfection over a bed of lightly smoked and tender pinto beans finishing with a single scoop of chestnut ice cream. But that was just the food. The drinks were carefully paired with each course. 5 in total. Each one balanced bitterness, sweetness, and acid with each course. My mouth was alive as if it had been raised from the dead. It was so amazing that I forgot to mentally note each drink so I could describe them in the future.

This place is a diamond in the rough. I only wish I had met the chef and the team behind the incredible experience.

I am from Los Angeles and have plenty of great places to dine. My visit to Detroit to watch my friends compete in an indoor track bike race was punctuated be this celebratory dinner.

If you love incredible food with thoughtfully pared drinks, I cannot recommend Marrow enough.“

“Honestly it could be 5s all the way across if you consider this isn't trying to be a 5 star Michelin restaurant. Going with the Monday special, 7.50 for a good burger and fries you can't go wrong. 25 oz 2 Hearted for $9, most places you get 1/2 that for $9. Plus this is NOT a dive. Good prices, good fool!“

I had my daughters 1st birthday in their banquet room yesterday and I’m over the moon happy with how it turned out! The staff was super helpful and always around when I needed anything. The food was great, my guests raved about the pizza and spinach dip. I would book events here in the future without a doubt. Look no further for a great American cuisine menu and staff that makes you feel like family!“

The food is consistently fresh, well seasoned and prepared with genuine care. Whether you’re familiar with Balkan cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant offers a level of quality and authenticity that is hard to find. Highly recommended.“

“I ordered delivery from a service that did not follow directions and never received the order until my neighbor found it outside. I called the establishment and the owner himself delivered the order in 20 minutes. He went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this restaurant with a side note that the food was delicious.“

Thanks for a wonderful dining experience!“

“Tuesdays are $1.50 coney island hotdogs. I ordered but the toppings of chilli mustard diced onion was REALLY what I paid for. Today I spoke to one of the delightful (and Gorgeous!) waitresses and told her I hoped to have EXTRA not OVER the top onions and mustard and what I got were THE BEST CONEYS!!! I paid a small UPCHARGE but boy was it worth every penny! Way to go Antonio's Coney Island STILL with the best Coney AROUND“

“My wife and I along with a friend of ours came here for the first time, the prices are very reasonable and the food is soo delicious and worth the prices. The service was great. My wife and I will definitely come back when were back in the area!“

“I want to sincerely thank the owner and staff at Kerby’s Koney Island in Warren for their kindness and compassion. Recently, before I had to say goodbye to my dog Kerby, I stopped in and met the owner — such a genuinely nice guy — who kindly took a moment to let us capture something truly special.

That moment — a simple photo of me, my son, Kerby, and one of their wonderful waiters — has become one of my most treasured memories. It’s a reminder of kindness, community, and how the smallest gestures can mean the world to someone going through something difficult.

A little backstory: I actually named my dog Kerby because he’s part dachshund, and I thought it’d be funny and fitting to name him after a hot dog — and after the best Koney Island around. (And yes, before anyone asks, I know there’s a Kirby vacuum cleaner. He wasn’t named after that, though he did inhale snacks pretty fast. And no, not the little pink video game character either — his name is proudly spelled K-E-R-B-Y.)

Thank you, Kerby’s, for being part of that moment. I’ll never forget it.“

My girls love the huge pancakes and my oldest enjoyed her omelet. Plus, I enjoyed my breakfast with the best side of thick juicy ham this is served in the city of Detroit. Period. Excellent experience“
