It's a great place to eat, the food is good and in good portions, try the Chorizo and Carnitas.
This place gives an office converted to restaurant vibe. Very open and industrial-ish, if you have a big groups that wouldn't be a problem.
The habanero wings were fire.
Felicia provided amazing service
First time visit. Food and service were excellent. On site entertainment was wonderful
The absolute WORST place to dine… I would NOT recommend anyone wasting their time at this place! Service is terrible! Once we were seated I had to find someone for waters.. 20 mins later water showed up. Then I had to flag someone down just to place an order! After ordering we patiently waited a FULL HOUR! I flagged down staff asking about our order. The manager, Matt came to let us know it wasn’t up yet and the cook's would get to it in another 10 mins. Needless to say the experience was atrocious! Service is TERRIBLE! This was my second visit there and the first wasn’t great either. We wanted to give it another shot and it was regrettable! There was no concern by management for our crappy service.. Matt could only say that the roof top was keeping them busy! 🙄 I guess when you “dine in” on the main level you don’t count as a customer. Despicable!
Got the Michigan cherry burger. Best burger found to date. First bite to the last was a happy dance
Avoid at all costs.
We have lived here only 5 mo. and discovered this gem: classy, accessible, downtown but the fact is— we had a most delicious breakfast! Go there!!

Update: A standard reply for food and portion size? Really? Poor business practice.
This was the worst breakfast I have ever eaten. My husband and I got the Farmers scramble. Asked for eggs over easy, both had hard yokes, American fries are really deep-fried potato squares that were dry inside and tasted old. Ham squares had fattened hard spots, and sausage gravy was WAY over peppered, stringy grilled onion slices that made an odd combination. I kept tasting a hint of cinnamon, which made me question cross contamination in the kitchen. Why would I taste cinnamon? Our sour dough toast came out dry and nearly white. Zero butter! Asked the waitress who told us they used clarified butter, but she would add more. Came back later with our cold toast and said they had no clarified butter. Period. She found butter, melted it, and put it on herself! WTH. Toast was soggy and cold! My 90 year old Mom ordered two pancakes, which arrived the size of a dinner plate and on two separate plates! When she asked the waitress why she did not mention the size to her, she said, " It depends on the cook as to what size the pancakes will be". Apparently, they have no portion control. The pancakes were very overcooked with dark bottoms and no flavor. Heard the guy behind us telling his wife he ordered his meal with no tomatoes. She told him to just pick them off! Mom's bacon tasted like old grease, and I couldn't swallow it.Mom ate most of it.Service was good, so tip was added to reflect it. Not punshing the server! I asked to speak to a manager and told her this was the worst breakfast I've eaten. Guess what? No manager there! Will not go back but reaching out to the manager this week.Avoid this place.

Paige was fabulous. Happy service makes the difference ? thank you!
Biscuits and gravy were delicious. The biscuits weren't sorry or dry- they were a little crispy, and perfectly cooked. The sausage gravy was excellent as well! We shared an order between 4 of us as an app, and it was a nice treat before the meal. One order is 1 biscuit, FYI.
The southwest dutch baby was amazing as well. I didn't have much to compare too, but I wasn't disappointed! Got it with the eggs served easy, and the yolk really added to the dish. Might try scrambled next time, just since the server said that's how some people like it.
Solid drinks as well.
Thanks again!

Angela was great despite being short staffed. She is so good we never knew or wanted for service.
