“This place never disappoints. The homemade cakes are the best and every time I walk in, the owner asks me how pieces of cake do I want even before I sit down.

They are only open from 7am-3pm so get there before they close.“

“I love this place so much, my grandparents live down the street from here. It’s honestly a family tradition for my family to go here! So many great memories and for sure worth the drive !

I would have taken photos but it was to good to stop and pull my phone out lol 😂 just know I love this place and highly recommend anyone to visit and get great food!! For a great price 🩷🥹“

“Great breakfasts and if you're a soup and sandwich person, this place is for you. They have daily specials and the staff treats you like family.“

“I came in TWICE this week because of the specials advertised. The food was great, the waitress was so nice and kept checking on us. I had the best Long Beach (Whoooo! 1 is all i needed, it was so great!!) 😄so delicious! and my hubby had a Bloody Mary. He's a Bloody Mary snob and he said that was one of the best he’s had. Will be back for this weekend reopening! I used to come in a long time ago but stopped and I saw it was under new ownership so we went and I think this is our new spot. So excited. Not many good places downriver close to home.“

“So happy I discovered you guys. You cannot beat the prices here. I got an egg sandwich (on really good bread too), fries, and a salad for 12 dollars!“

“I always order my breakfast at Cameo's and pick it up thru the drive thru window. They have the best biscuits and gravy, bacon is always on point with crispness. They have good French toast with a tasty syrup. Scrambled eggs always made to perfection with melted cheese on top. The servers are all friendly and welcoming especially Felicia. They always make me feel like I am at home visiting a relative or family member. Best place to eat at, has been a staple with home cooked food since I can remember dating back to at least 1990.“

“The chicken tenders and potatoes are excellent“

“I have been coming here for at least 20 years now. Even though I have moved to a different city I make a point to stop in every time I am down there. Chile cheese hamburger and chili cheese fries are the best. Recipe hasn't changed, prices are still very affordable and can't beat the service. Everyone most definitely needs to stop in and find out this hidden gem for themselves“

“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!“

Our food was cooked perfectly, just as we ordered it, and the service was exactly the elevated experience we expected. We'll be back!“

“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.“

It was awesome to see how well The employees handled the fast-paced environment“

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

“The Ham Shop truly feels like a hidden gem in Detroit, and I’m so glad I stumbled across it! From the moment I walked in, the service was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The food came out fast and hot, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. And I HAVE to mention the lemon rice soup, SO GOOD, I had to make a request to have one to go!

The owner was also incredibly friendly and personable. He took the time to chat and made the whole experience feel so welcoming and personal.

I left feeling full, happy, and already wanting to come back. This place genuinely made my day! I’m so glad I discovered it and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend checking out the Ham Shop in Detroit!“

“Stopped here before a concert at LCA last night - obviously busy, but wait wasn’t bad at all and we were able to get a drink at the bar and wait outside. I wish I could remember our servers name, but she was absolutely stellar! She was super friendly, funny and quick despite having a large section on a busy night. Got the shrimp tacos (AMAZING and filling - has a perfect amount of “kick”) and my husband got the hot chicken sandwich (the one small bite I was allowed was phenomenal) overall 10/10 experience!“

“Not only is the food fantastic, but the people behind it are what truly make it special. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the community around them. They recently sponsored a local BJJ tournament, which speaks volumes about the kind of business they are—supportive, generous, and invested in bringing people together. It’s always inspiring to see businesses give back in meaningful ways, and they absolutely lead by example. If you’re looking for great food and even better people, this is a place worth supporting. Highly recommend!“
