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! ❤️“

“Get the salmon, its amazing. Atmosphere is beautiful, especially around the holidays. Rose remembered us from our last visit, and took great care of us. Skylar was our waitress and she didnt miss a beat. They made our experience wonderful and thats why we will be back with our friends visiting from NYC in two weeks. We want to show them that Detroit is just as festive.“

“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.“

“We came to The Whitney for an early birthday dinner for my husband. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience there! The staff went above and beyond my expectations. The food was amazing and cost was much less than I would have expected for the caliber and presentation of our meals and dessert. For all of you paranormal afficionados, their Ghost Bar is a must. The owners of The Whitney have done so much to preserve this amazing estate in Detroit without any funding assistance from the government or grants. Please consider supporting them by being a patron the next time you are in Detroit.“

“Always a turn up when I come home!!!“

“The food and service was excellent!!! The stuffed salmon is a must!! The bartender customer service was impeccable.“

“This was my first time at Zeffs.i was headed downtown to Jury duty and needed breakfast. It was 6:30 am. The employees were so pleasant early in the morning which was a plus. The other patrons were a morning delight. The food was delicious and tasty. The wait wasn't long at all 😁. The outside of the restaurant was clean. The inside was clean and inviting. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to eat... especially early in the morning.“

“Stopped in for a quick easy dinner for my finance and myself, we got the Meatloaf and the “KFC” Bowl and WOW, the meatloaf is so insanely good and the bowl is also delicious. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, the owner/staff are so warm, welcoming and the prices are reasonable. Don’t sleep on this little restaurant!!“

“The food is always great….never disappointed.“

“We have been ordering take out from Travis and we have never had anything we haven’t like. Everything is really good. When we order we give the name Steph when we pick it up. Can’t wait until next time. Breakfast, lunch and dinner“

“I got the small spaghetti & meatballs as well as the spaghetti sandwich Eminem's way. Food was DELICIOUS!! Absolutely worth the price! The small came with 3 big meatballs & loaded with grated cheese. It really was ahige portion for a small. The sandwich was also soooooo good even as leftovers!!!! The bad.... I waited like 15+ mins in the rain to order. I walked inside half way through the wait to look for someone, never found anyone. Went back outside & waited with 4 more people & no one ever came so after 15+ mins, I went upstairs to the store & asked for help. The girl working found the cook (who also takes the orders) & just happened to be on lunch. I wouldn't have minded waiting if there would've been a little 30 min break sign up or something. Honestly it seemed like he either hated his job or he's definitely overworked & maybe the only employee besides the girl upstairs Even though customer service was not good, the food was amazing & I'll definitely eat there again next time I'm in town.“

“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!“

“AIdan is the BEST! Very compassionate about talking about my dad who is now dying. Thanks! Of course the ribs were great!“

“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 moved to SCS 5 months ago and have never been here before. My family and I have tried carryout from several restaurants and we always end up with Gilbert’s. Great food, service & prices. 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 atmosphere was approximately 5 farts per square foot“

“If you’re looking for truly exceptional Burek and Qevapa, look no further. Jakova Grill delivers an authentic Balkan dining experience with flavors that stand out from the rest. 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 recommend the meat lover's potato. it was loaded with pepperoni,sausage, bacon and I believe ham. also there was a garlic butter on it that was delicious.“

“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.“

“The food is amazing. Esp the sweet chili wings. I had the "Say Less" drink. Raspberry, lemonade and d'usse. Strong but good. Shotgun shrimp was similar to boom boom but less saucy. Tasty! Service was the winner. Hostess was the best. attentive and kind. Friendly and fast service. Lots of parking and seating. Cool decor. Local art & reference. Def be back.“

“Had an amazing experience at Checkmate Burgers in Warren, MI today with my daughters. The owner was super friendly, and the food was excellent. Definitely a hidden gem—highly recommend checking it out!“

“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“

“We stopped in Central Kitchen + Bar this past Sunday, 9/21, for brunch before the Tigers Game. What a fantastic experience! We were greeted so kindly and had the pleasure of Brandon serving us. He gave us many menu recommendations and checked on us continually. The atmosphere of the restaurant was “elegant and fun!” We’ll be back the next time we visit Detroit. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience!“

“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.“

“New management here is amazing! Every day they have a different deal for an amazing price. First time going was yesterday. Today is now my second day and I’ll definitely be returning tomorrow for that Poutine deal because this might be my new fave in the city!!!“

“Great food, drinks & service!“

“Asked for grits with American cheese on it, they gave us cheddar grits with American cheese on it lol. Ordered corned beef has expecting something other than deli sliced corned beef chopped up. Love the signs inside. Will be back again. Gonna try other items next time .“
