“I highly recommend The Keg. The customer service was exceptional, the staff very attentive, and the food was wonderful. Carlie, our waitress, was a pleasure; she provided excellent service with a smile. I give it a 10/10 and will certainly return. The prime rib was my favorite dish.“

“Absolutely delicious. We came here after a game in Detroit and we will 100% be back. 100% recommend. We couldn’t decide what to get with all of the wonderful options on the menu. Still thinking about it to this day! Thank you for a wonderful experience. Excellent, friendly and quick customer service as well.“

“Best empanadas! They are always good I’ve gotten delivery plenty of times and visited the store too. Other folks must like them cause they are always busy. �“

“My friend and I had lunch at Coriander Kitchen and Farm yesterday 6/23. We came back because we enjoyed our first visit last year so much! However, at this visit the food was not so good. I ordered fish and chips and my fish was overcooked and the french fries were not hot. My friend ordered smelt which were awful and greasy which we sent back. We asked for lemon which never came to the table and our waiter seem to be the only one there and they were busy so I don't think we got the attention that we were due. I know this establishment can do better, so I will be going back. But yesterday's service and food were awful.“

“Clean shop, prices are good, I was the only customer and employees seemed very hurried to get my order done. I was worried I walked in right before they closed so I checked online and saw they are open till 930 it’s 3pm so just felt strange. Me and my 3 year old so
I guess I was expecting a friendly hello to my kiddo.

My ice cream was good tho“

“Had the Monday handheld deal and give it a 👍👍👍👍👍. Brisket burger for me and pulled pork for the honey. I can say yum. 😋“

“Ive had some tacos before, but Never an Arepa. food is delicious. I got one Chicken Arepa, one bowl, and Definelty was worth popping in after seeing on Chow Down Detroit reviewed. They were out of beef, but definitely gonna pop on here and there. They also have a nice food truck for bars or events looking for vendors or food trucks. definitely one worth trying if you see the truck 💯 Juicy, flavorful and definetly filling with just 1.“

“Love the improvements the new owners have done outside so far. The new patio and tables provide a place to sit and enjoy your treat. I also appreciate that they kept the generous portions, by far the BEST VALUE for your money! I look forward to spring 2023 and see what more they may do. Thank you for serving our community with taste, good service, and value!“

“It’s 18% gratuity on every Dine In Check. The food is always great. I love the different breakfast items . It’s always a great place for breakfast and bottomless coffees . Pancakes don’t come with side but sides are $5 each like bacon and eggs.

Parking: Street parking is okay

Kid-friendliness: My 2 year old had a great time.“

“If you’re anywhere near Detroit—or, honestly, even across the border in Canada (yes, you Windsor folks!)—do yourself a favor and make your way to Eastern Market Brewing Company. Nestled right in the heart of the historic Eastern Market district, just a stone’s throw from the Detroit River and a hop across the Ambassador Bridge from Canada, this place is an absolute gem that radiates Midwestern soul.

I visited with my lovely wife Melanie and my always-up-for-a-good-time in-laws, and let me tell you, from the moment we stepped into the brewery, we were greeted with that unmistakable Midwestern charm. The staff? Friendly like they’ve known you for years. The patrons? Just as welcoming. We shared laughs, recommendations, and even some bench space.

Speaking of sharing — we sat outside and ended up sharing a table with a delightful local couple and their young kid, who was full of energy and joy, bouncing up and down on the bench like a little piston engine. You’d think that would be distracting, but honestly, it added to the warmth and life of the experience. It was like being folded into a living postcard of Detroit hospitality.

Now, I never tip. Like, ever. But the service here? So exceptional, so genuinely warm and attentive, that I found myself enthusiastically leaving an 18% tip. That might not sound like much to some, but for me? That’s basically a standing ovation.

Let’s talk about the restrooms. And believe me, we need to talk about the restrooms. Spotless. Gleaming. Like the kind of clean you see in sci-fi movies where robots do all the cleaning. I went in twice and came back both times feeling like I had just walked through a showroom for premium tiles and top-tier janitorial diligence. Even my mother-in-law commented on it—and she never talks about restrooms.

Now to the beer—oh yes, the beer. We sampled a beautiful flight that included:

🍺 Jumbo Juice Hazy IPA – Bursting with tropical citrus and a velvety mouthfeel, this beer is like a Saturday at the lake house: relaxed, bright, and unapologetically satisfying.
🍺 313 IPA – Crisp, balanced, and bold, just like Detroit itself. This one is the IPA equivalent of a Michigan tailgate party: hearty, dependable, and unforgettable.
🍺 Pineapple Market Day (Session IPA) – Light, fruity, and full of zing—imagine the refreshing joy of biting into a perfectly chilled slice of watermelon at a Midwest county fair. Yes, that good.

We were surrounded by gorgeous murals painted on the buildings nearby—massive, colorful expressions of Detroit’s creative pulse. Every wall tells a story, and together they give the whole neighborhood the feeling of a living art gallery.

And before I forget—because this deserves its own paragraph—the shawarma. Oh. My. Goodness. We snagged it just around the corner in the Eastern Market and devoured it like we hadn’t eaten in days. Juicy, flavorful, with garlic sauce that dreams are made of. The wrap was perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside—like the city of Detroit itself: tough where it counts, but full of heart.

So yes—Eastern Market Brewing Company delivered everything we hoped for and more. Fantastic beer, charming locals, unbeatable vibes, and restrooms that deserve their own Yelp page. I’d cross two borders for another visit.

Five stars aren’t enough. This place is a treasure.“

“Delightful, home town ice cream shoppe! We love going frequently!“

“The SE MI Brewery Discovery Tour continues. (I'm done counting, it takes too much effort)
The building used to be a church. I personally love that repurposing. (Once saw a church knocked down to put in a Walmart! ) The layout works great: big U-shaped bar surrounded by 4-seat high-top tables. The all-important stainless steel vessels taking the place of the pulpit & choir. 6 big screens are spread around for the sports oriented. There is a room of the back of the main one with big leather-clad easy chairs & an actual fireplace. So cozy.
The free parking is in the back but you have to enter from the Biergarten which is entered from the corner. So, if you or a compadre are using a wheelchair, get dropped off at the corner.
The beer list is pretty broad, 2 pages, the food menu is of decent size.
Got a Lip Lock Cherry stout followed by a Peach Blonde. The stout was less sweet than expected (based on nothing) but nicely balanced. The peach version of the Dirty Blonde was tasty and refreshing.
Ate an Atwater Brat in-between. The brat was OK. The pretzel bun was good, the toppings (cheese, jalapeños, bacon bits) were good, too. The brat itself was the weak spot, tasted too much like a big hotdog.“

“We came to Detriot to see the NCAA D1 National wrestling tournament. We stopped in and had a great time. The beer, food, and environment were wonderful and we give them 5 stars. Look forward to coming back. Mechanicsburg PA folks“

“If you want the worlds best coffee this is where you should go. (No seriously) Anthology Coffee is a really great place. Its has a chill vibe, covered in plants, outdoor seating, its really cool. The Coffee is amazing. They roast it right there in the cafe and get it from small farmers all over the world who don't use any pesticides or GMO's. The pastries are great and they are all gluten free and they usually have something savory on weekends (It goes fast, so be there early). The baristas are really great and its kid friendly. Anthology Coffee is wheel chair accessible, there is a lot across the street with free parking, its great for groups, really anyone. Its located on 1948 Division St in Eastern Market which is really great cause you can head over to the market after or go for a nice walk on the Diquindre Cut. My sister lives in Detroit and every time I visit we always go to Anthology Coffee, I really love going there. Anthology Coffee is an amazing place, the people there actually care about the quality of coffee and where it comes from, they don't exploit their employees or customers, and really make a difference. The Anthology Coffee family is even better than coffee itself. I would definitely recommend checking it out.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Zuzu recently, and I must commend our bar server, Rachel. From the moment we were seated, she made us feel welcome and attended to our needs with genuine warmth and professionalism. Rachel was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and even offered recommendations. She ensured our drinks were always full and checked in on us at just the right times without being intrusive.“

“This place is amazing! It is by far the best Thai food I’ve ever had! The service was very good they are very nice up there. The food came out very fast and it was piping hot. The overall atmosphere is very clean also. 10/10 I recommend and I will be back!“

“Such a great vibe! We did a casual wedding welcome party here and can’t say enough good things about how wonderful this space is, how kind and accommodating the team was, and much everybody really enjoyed the beer (and wine)! This is a fantastic and classic Detroit spot and now one of our favorite breweries around!“

“Great atmosphere. Lots of activities to participate in. The owner is a great humanitarian for the community and enjoys suggesting and praising other restaurants. It’s always a great time with great food at reasonable prices.“

“The best ice cream place in the area. Super friendly staff. awesome seasonal menu items.“

“The food is delicious and the service is fantastic! My only complaint is how loud the place has become. Not too long ago, it was more of a restaurant than a bar. Lately, however, it has become more like a noisy college bar than a restaurant. I still plan on coming here once in a while.“

“I ordered a custom cake from slinky’s for this weekend! A banana cream pie cake with gram-cracker filling! It was the BEST tasting ice cream cake we have ever had! Highly recommend them!!“

“Ive had some tacos before, but Never an Arepa. food is delicious. I got one Chicken Arepa, one bowl, and Definelty was worth popping in after seeing on Chow Down Detroit reviewed. They were out of beef, but definitely gonna pop on here and there.

“Amazing customer service. Friendly atmosphere.“

“We were out in Frasier and looking for a place to stop and grab some lunch and came across this cute little Deli. I was expecting to grab a decent sandwich but the food was great and the service was even better. The place has a nice little nostalgic ambiance, we got our food pretty fast, and Barb was so sweet. I didnt get the chefs name, but not only did he bring out a side of corned beef for my friend to try, he saw me airing up my tires and came outside to make sure everything was ok. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping by!“

“We recently reserved the rooftop for a wedding rehearsal dinner and everything was better than we expected. The communication to plan everything was great, and the food options were able to accommodate everyone. We had a private bartender who was very friendly and knowledgeable, as well as a variety of food that was well received. We knew this was a fun, casual place, but they really stepped it up for our event. If you're on the fence about hosting an event here, we would definitely recommend it.“

“I’m 49…this place was my first job when I was 18 and found out I was gonna be a father…and after all these years Markies in my opinion is the best pizza joint around…everything on the menu is top notch and it’s hard to decide what to order…I highly recommend the Raviolis..the Ribs…the sliders …the Bacon sticks…the Poppers…the wings…and the pizza. The folks that all work there are the best and they always aim to please…I will always be loyal to markies“

“The best espresso 10 smooth no bitter taste.👍👍“

“Had the best pizza of my life, and I'll soon be 78. I love that you have a choice of either fresh or canned Mushroom. it was delivered hot as if it had just been taken out of the oven. the toppings were plentiful and top grade. I would give 7 stars if I could.“

“I made my rookie appearance today at Scooters! It was a fabulous experience! Makayla (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was very sweet and kind! She made my morning! AND the coffee is AMAZING!! This will be my regular stop before work! Thank you for the wonderful coffee and experience!!“

“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!“

“Went for an early dinner corn chowder was PUKE IN A BOWL ordered fish and chips to my surprise Chef is using low quality Pollock for high quality Cod talked to mgr and she had few profanities and hung up phone I have been a Chef for many years and detected this right off the bat don’t let them steal your money on low quality products 2pc $1799 and 3 pcs $20.99 they were 2oz pcs of fish!!? I had bad experience a few years ago at Terry’s thought we would give it a try even after my wife strongly objected have to bow down to her SHE WAS RIGHT AGAIN???“

“Lori's has the best flavors, toppings, and sizes for great prices. Plus a great menu for burgers, mozzarella sticks, and more! My family won't go anywhere else now for those special moments!“

“Nice ambience, friendly staff, and I like the little gaming card feature that allows them to bring items to where you are sitting. Cappuccino only available in 6oz size, so what if you are a Cappuccino monster / enthusiastic and would prefer a bigger one ? 🤔🤪“

“I've been to a few breweries believe me when I tell you most are great. So if you get a chance to stop in Baffin and you just sample what they have. Then you compare. They have a marketing idea with a great selection, first. They keep what works. Can't tell you what to do but you will not be making a bad choice“

“Great place to be if you in the downtown area or if you want to have a different scene indoor/outdoor everyone that’s reading this they also carry this sauce called whoo wop sauce it’s a great all purpose sauce gluten free and pescatarian friendly leaving options open for whatever dish shop bodega market on brush !!!!“

“Howlers and Growlers had The Best French Fries!!!!“

“Had amazing food and service we left full and very happy!! Thanks for a great lunch!!“

“Wonderful Coffee! The hand made syrups were probably the best I ever had. I tried two lattes, one with vanilla lavender and the other with honey cinnamon and they were great! I recommend both of them with oatmilk. The owner was super friendly with my party and I and we had a very nice conversation with her while she made our lattes. Down Under is only FOUR minutes away from the TCF, walking. There is NO reason to ever get Starbucks again while I am in Detroit for Youmacon. A definite must for all the con goers to give them a try!“

“Our favorite neighborhood bar. The bartenders and staff are always super friendly and take great care of us. If you go enough, you will see a lot of the same regulars and quickly realize why everyone goes back. This place is fantastic! If you are ever in the Park looking for a drink this spot is a must!“

“Great food, drinks & service!“

“Had the most delicious gazpacho here today! I love that it’s different than the recipe that I make, and very fresh and flavorful. And if you’re a garlic fan, this is for you!“

“Great salads, Cinnamon French Toast, Saganaki, Sandwiches...

Nice all around

Waitstaff always a joy.

OMG - they deep fried the hash browns on request. Awesome!

Disappointed they don't serve more olives.“

“They have great food here. Their meat pies are amazing. I have been eating them since my dad used to bring me here as a child. Grapeleaves, Hummus, Tabouleh! It's all delicious. 🤌

The people who work there are great as well. Last time I was there, the man behind the counter came out and held the door for my daughter and I. It made my day.

As long as there is an Emily's, I will be a customer. Keep up the great work 👍“

“Great beer and patio. Pet friendly and you can bring food or enjoy a food truck meal on certain days.“

“Excellent food,excellent service, great value.
First, the service here is top-notch. The staff were super friendly and super helpful and deciding on our orders. They seemed truly grateful that we we’re patronizing their establishment.
Second, the food here is outstanding. The burgers were amazing, the poutine was excellent, and the pulled pork was outstanding. I don’t think you could make a bad decision on what to eat here.
I will definitely eat here again and I absolutely recommend this place for everyone.
To me, you know a place is good when you see local law enforcement having their lunch there.“
