50 Best American Restaurants near Highland Park

“This has got to be one of the best coney islands I’ve ever been to. Have been to this place every hour of any day (mind you this place is open 24/7) 10/10 hospitality! I’ve ordered from DoorDash, phone order, in person, etc. The food NEVER misses. Whenever I’m in the area I'll always pickup some Parkside, even if I’m full I’ll save it for later! (GET THE PARKSIDE BURGER IT’LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE)“

“Food was great. Definitely a great place 2 try if coming from out of town.“

“I have been there twice and I will definitely return. The brunch is exceptional and affordable. The food is fresh and the chef's know how to pair the flavor and ingredients well. Atmosphere is pleasant , clean and laid back for Brunch. The Staff are courteous, friendly and efficient. Definitely worth visiting.“

“Okay, check this out:

Yo, lemme tell you about this spot, manhattan fish and chicken on Woodward and Davison I hit them up last night, craving some serious Chicken wings. I ordered online, which was smooth, and my stuff was ready exactly when they said it would be. The guy at the counter was chill, even though they were slammed.

I grabbed a 3-piece chicken and some fish The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside – not dry at all, which is a major win. And the fish? Flaky, perfectly fried. Not soggy, not too greasy, just right.

Honestly, this place is my new go-to. The food is fire, the service is quick and friendly, and it's exactly what you want when you're in the mood for some good ol' fried goodness. Five stars all the way!“

“Best Corned Beef in the City“

“Sooooo good! Just had dinner tonight and can honestly say the food and service NEVER disappoints!“

“Unique dining experience! Celebrated my birthday with my husband AND some new friends we met there ! 100% recommend!!! This is one of my new favourite places!!! Will be back for sure!!!“

“This place is awesome. The service is incredible. But the food was even better! The interior of it takes you back to a simpler time. Family owned and operated. The server was the sister of the cook. The coney dogs didn’t stand a chance. Fries were so crunchy and delicious. While there, the folks sitting to the left of me ordered breakfast. I’m definitely coming back just based off of how good their hash browns looked. 10/10. Definitely coming back!“

“Wow, what an experience. This was truly fine and fun dining. Amazing food, incredible service and cool tunes!“

“My wife and I dined here for the first time as an early anniversary date, the service was outstanding. our waitress was very knowledgeable on all of the wine that I had with my meal(tasting menu) the food was timely and fantastic. This is a wonderful place. if you have an interest in diversifying your palate.“

“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.“

“We had a great time! The sushi, Raspberry Michigan dessert, service, and my drop drink were absolutely delicious! 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! ❤️“

“Me and my sister ate lunch at Ford’s Garage in Dearborn. We ordered the Fried Chicken Comfort Bowl. This meal is amazing, and the price is right“

“This is the Creme de la creme of Detroit's finest dining. The service was excellent, the staff was very professional and the General Manger, Byron, was very attentive and impeccable to us. I commend the owners for choosing such a great person to manage the restaurant. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who want to experience the finest in dining. KUDOS to Highlands Detroit!“

“I have gone to the Whitney every year for Christmas dinner. It was annual holidays to celebrate with my nieces. Last Christmas holiday we chose to take the buffet. I was extremely disappointed. All I wanted was prime rib. The server was not very friendly. She stared at me and I was very uncomfortable when I asked for the prime rib only. There was just a small end piece and she gave me a very thin slice close resembling lunch meat. I don’t understand since I paid for a complete meal and it wasn’t cheap. I could’ve gone somewhere else and had a wonderful prime rib dinner. The au jous was not warm, so that was very disappointing. I will never do the buffet again if it’s like last year. In previous years, I’ve attended the buffet and it was outstanding.“

“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.“

“Literally the best breakfast sammich I’ve consumed. I’ve had several attempts to recreate this at other diners & they ALL fail in comparison.“

“Always loved the "Grill" for breakfast now it's open till 8:) All the food is excellent especially the Greek Fries (french fries red onion feta & house made creamy Greek dressing) The staff is delightful and the customers diverse. Everyone is welcome. Our favorite family restaurant!“

“I cannot say enough about this amazing place. The food was amazing cooked with perfection and flavors that were amazing. we happened on the restaurant on a whim and even though it is an hour+ drive we will be returning at least every couple months.“

“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.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“Service was great! Very nice atmosphere, and classy without being stuffy. Our food was overall very good, our omelette could have used a bit of seasoning, and something to brighten it up a bit, but that could be a matter of preference. I would definitely recommend eating here, the positives were way more notable than any negatives.“

“This place is fantastic! My husband and I love going there when we have the chance. The food is great and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommend!“

“The service, the food, the prices, the variety, the cleanliness, and the attention is ALL GREAT !!!“

“The food is absolutely fabulous, and the service is wonderful. There is not a long wait time for your food, as a matter of fact, they are pretty quick!!!“

“I had the chicken wings and garlic aloi fries. The wings was really good, big wings and had a lot of sauce on them. It's 12 for 20 which to me kinda expensive. The fries was disappointed in 7 dollars for some fries that's half of them was soggy. There was little cheese on it. The ones that was cooked was okay. I wouldn't highly recommend it but I would give it another try if different cooks was working. Saw one guy had to give his wings back before me because they was under cooked.“

“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“Great service!! We shared small plates and entrees!“

“My girlfriend and meself stopped in randomly after the Eastern Market and had one of the best meals and experience we’ve had while visiting Detroit. The Tokyo muscles were the best muscles I’ve ever had. We had a classic Bloody Mary and their hot sauce really brought some heat! We got the Carmel cookie coffee as well and that was swell as well. The environment and staff especially made the experience even better. We had Rhonda as a server and she was very pleasant and helped give us recommendations that turned out to be very tasty. Overall we were glad we chose to eat at Vivio’s and will definitely be back next time we wander to Detroit.“

“My husband and I love this place , been here twice and great food, servers , atmosphere. Just a wonderful place .“

“Great friendly place with great comfort foods.“

“Amazing anniversary dinner there and did not disappoint!! 5 stars and we will be back.“

“I had not been to a Beefcarver since I was a kid to the location on 8 mile. Stopped in today to the Woodward location. Food was good, the atmosphere is very nostalgic (I loved it), and the staff was amazing. The gentleman waiting on us was very friendly and very on top of things! We will be back.“

“Excellent,... Plenty of food enough for late snack.
And the service was spot on, and coming from me that's a huge compliment...lol.
But most of all I truly feel i got my money's worth 😌
And these days, you already know“

“We were instantly greeted and seated. Our server Robby was awesome. The entire staff was friendly. Chef Johnny is very talented and friendly. I love that he greets all guest and will even bring your food out himself. For starters we had the shrimp and crab cakes. They were crispy on the outside and melted in your mouth. The surprise with these was that there was whole shrimp inside. We loved it. The sauce on top was just the right amount. The salmon with saffron rice, coconut curry sauce and green apple slaw was the best salmon I've had in a while. The pairing was new for me but it worked. The salmon was juicy and perfectly cooked. When paired with everything on my plate it was like fireworks. Everything popped and was amazing. My husband had the beef strudel. Now he was thinking it was gonna be like a beef wellington but no. When he put his fork into the perfectly crispy flaky crust and into the most tender beef either of us have ever had, OMG. With the first bite all he could do was say "WOW"(sorry about how loud he was). The flavors of that plate were incredible. The blueberry cheesecake was the icing on the cake. It was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet and the smear of lemon sauce on the side elevated the flavors. The drinks. I had the rainforest and my husband had the Johnny Manhattan. When we saw how small the glasses were we were definitely worried. That feeling quickly faded with the first sip. The drinks may be small but they are strong and delicious. We had to pace ourselves with those. Overall, I give this place a 10/10 and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you to everyone there for a great time and for great service.“

“It's always good. My only critique is that they only have splenda as a sugar substitute. Equal is my preferred.“

“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.“

“This was our first time dining at beppe and will not be our last. Everything, from the service to the drinks to the ambiance, was exceptional!

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!!“
