“From the moment we arrived, our experience was nothing short of amazing. The food was outstanding—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was warm, friendly, and fun, making it the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable and welcome. On top of that, the location is fantastic, with plenty of activities nearby to enjoy before or after your meal, which really added to the overall experience. The highlight of our visit, however, was our waitress, Ashley W. She went above and beyond in every way. Ashley anticipated our every need before we even had to ask, showing an attentiveness that is rare to find. She was friendly, personable, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering so much easier and more enjoyable. Her positive energy and genuine care turned what was already a great dining experience into something truly memorable. Ashley is, without a doubt, the main reason my family and I plan to return. Her service left such a lasting impression on us that we would gladly make the trip back to Michigan just to eat here again. It is rare to come across someone who takes so much pride in their work and makes every guest feel special, but Ashley did exactly that. She is an absolute asset to this restaurant, and we cannot thank her enough for making our visit exceptional.“

“A very favorite restaurant!“

“Detroit soul is possibly the best meal from start to finish I've had in years. Walking in you notice how delicious everything smells, how clean everything is and how friendly everyone who works here is. The food is top notch. The breadding on the catfish fritters made my mouth water, the greens made me want to write home, the mac and cheese was perfectly cooked and the meatloaf was so tender and tasty. Then the dessert! Peach cobbler that made me make obscene noises, the creamy vanilla scoop and the amazing red pop sorbet were bursting with flavorful perfection. I highly recommend going here and trying everything.“

“The price of the bill vs the food taste didn’t add up. The food wasn’t seasoned, the Mac and cheese was meh, and the yams and greens tasted like something you’d find pre maid. The fried chicken had zero seasonings on it. The only thing good was the fried fish. Service was great and the atmosphere was good as well. But I wouldn’t go here again.“

“This that Grandma taste. worth every red cent“

“Best soul food Downriver! We usually just get their wings, macaroni, and greens. So good. Customer service is great as well. I've ordered from them multiple times and never had a problem. The only thing I hate is their inconsistent and tough hours, but I understand it's probably a small business thing they have to deal with.“

“As soon as I got out of my car, the smell of delicious food assaulted my nose. I was hoping the food was as good as it smelled. I was not disappointed. Even though the food was basic, everything was seasoned just right & that made the difference. The jerk wings were not jerk to me, but had a nice smokey flavor. The mac & cheese did not look that great & I wish it had been baked longer, but was still tasteful. I prefer fresh green beans these days, but theirs was the old school kind with potatoes & again, seasoned just right. The cornbread was sweet if you like a Jiffy box flavor. The wait time was a standard 15 minutes. The decor is very old & outdated, but there are a few tables if you'd like to eat inside or wait for your food. I drove over 30 minutes to try their food and If I'm ever in the area again, I'd return.“

“Had an amazing dinner there with my husband and totally enjoyed Hmong food. Everything was fresh and tasty and we felt we were eating at a family member’s home! We will definitely be back!“

“Slow and Ghetto!!! They NEVER open on time and when they do nothing is ever done/prepared..What’s the point of having lunch specials when your not even open on time for business.“

“I went to Velle's Grille yesterday for dinner in the hope of supporting a black owned business. I have no regrets. I had the Turkey Chops with Mac & cheese, collard greens and a side of yams. Good portion sizes. Everything was hot and seasoned perfectly. My meal was delicious. My husband had chicken wings with baked beans and macaroni. He also ordered a burger. He says the burger was delicious and the sides were on point. He woke up and ate the chicken for breakfast and he says we gotta go back lol. Overall we are definitely giving this place another chance.“

“Food was delicious especially the veggie rice and the customer service was great“

“First time at the restaurant on a busy Sunday. The food did not disappoint and either did the service. Stacie our waitress was attentive and on point. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We had everything from fried catfish, meatloaf, short ribs, BBQ ribs, fried pork chop and chicken and waffle along with a variety of sides and beverages. I even got a ToGo of the short ribs because they were so tender (a little fatty but tender still). We were a party of 9 and they seated us with no problem. It was a little stuffy and definitely needed more air circulation.“

“I craved for the Jerk chicken dinner that comes with two sides. Plentiful, reasonable prices. Mac n cheese is so good, the greens melted in my mouth. Mask was worn and glass between chefs and the patrons.“

“I want to give a shot out to chef dink we had a Repass yesterday And they supply the chicken and the catfish it was amazing that was the best chicken and fish I ever had we had several requests for more. If you are in need of some Delicious food check out The Green Mile grill you can't go wrong“

“I was referred over to this place by a friend as we were discussing good bbq. I’m originally from the Midwest but spent my formative years in the Deep South. And hadn’t had great bbq in a while. Came this way to taste their so called amazing Beef Ribs but when I got here they were sold out so I settled for what I found out to be one the BEST DAMN CATFISH SANDWICHES I HAVE EVER HAD!!! (Yeah I know it wasn’t the bbq we had talked about). So I decided to come back because of the dang catfish sandwich. MAN I AM SO DAMN GLAD I DID!!!! Their BEEF RIBS AND RIB TIPS ARE FREAKING DELICIOUS!!!! A very friendly, clean well run environment. Every time I am in town I stop in here and it’s a hike because I stay in the Canton, MI area when I’m in town. Can’t say enough good things about BBQ Central. Everyone needs to try this spot. You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!“

“2 weeks ago, me and my brother ate bruch here, and it was really good. The music was right, our waitress was friendly and the building is a very large loft space. We enjoyed it alot!!!“

“Was driving by and decided to stop in and try something new and im glad I did. Very warm energy from the staff; feels like you're amongst family. The food was GOOOOD. And they have so many manu items that I cant wait to go back and try. I meant to take a pic of the food but I started eating it before I pulled off and next thing I know it was gone. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“I hardly ever give a 5 star review across the board this place was amazing. I had the turkey chops with fresh made mashed potatoes with asparagus. My home girl had the lamb chops and baaaaby they did not disappoint. Our appetizer was the corn beef egg rolls they were also very delish. Whoever the chef is he/she definitely chefin!!!!! I will be back.“

“For a soul food restaurant the food was very close to homemade.The collard green were good.The bathroom left a lot to be desired. It was very nasty.The floors were sticky even in the bathroom. Overall the food was good and I would go back again.“

“The food was damn good and well worth the price I will be checking this place out again the ghetto Burger was good it really didn't stand out from any other Burger but it was still good the cheesecake dessert was the only thing I did not like and honestly it didn't even taste like cheesecake was more like Frozen cake so I'll pass on the dessert but everything else that I had was damn good.“

“husband dont eat pork beef as of 25 yrs. He recently stopped chicken and will only eat turkey. ive made so many turkey dishes the last few months since him stopping chicken and i know hes getting bored. We decided to give Gingerberry a chance since we only had it once years ago. OMG! soooooo delicious! We ordered the turkey chops, got 3 large chop, a nice large scoop of mac and cheese and mash potatoes. Weve been dragging about it all wkend. We ordered it on doordash and paid $25. thats including door dash fees so ofcourse if u go in it’s such cheaper. Superb Ginger Berry and Thank you for making my hubby happy. This pic reflects him eating part of one LOL“
