“Great food and service! Me and my auntie didn't know where to sit, but they told us to sit anywhere. The only small negative is that the waitress gave me the wrong order by mistake, but at least I got my exact order after that. That's the only negative but overall it was a great service from me a first time customer.“

“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!“

We enjoyed the incredible view and our delicious courses. The staff was very friendly and warm to us the moment we walked through the door. I am so sad the city is changing The Renaissance Center. At least I was able to go to the top before that takes place.“

“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.“

“Came here for a date night and it worked perfectly. The room has a warm glow and the cocktails were well crafted. The Bronzino was delicate and flaky. If I had to nitpick, the wings could have used a bit more heat, but the flavor was still great.“

“So, I tried 22 coneys this day and they were in one of the better ones. The business itself was very busy, but the staff was quick and efficient and extremely patient about the questions that I had about their food.

“If you are contemplating where to dine…go here…you won’t be disappointed. Gabi and Gabriel are such gracious and hospitable owners of this diamond in the rough in hazel park. Service is 10/10. Their food…100/10. Their drinks are plentiful and their food is all authentic and homemade. Their Langos with garlic sauce is AMAZING…Honestly my wife and I have tried almost all of their staples (they also have rotating chef specials) and we have not found one thing that we don’t like. Their “from the woods” polenta is fantastic for vegetarians. There is something for everyone and once you go…you will keep going back for more.“

“I moved here in March and I’m still working on finding my new local go to spots. It’s my first time here and this is going to be my #1 go to diner/Coney Island.
It’s a family run business and it’s obvious that they work hard to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The waitresses are genuinely kind and you can tell they care about their customer.

The food was really good! It came out quick, the portions were generous, and if you like hash browns you won’t be sorry!! I’m a big coffee gal and my coffee was never empty, always hot, and as a VERY rare treat, the coffee is actually really good.

Lastly, the restaurant is clean and well maintained. It is obvious they take pride in what they do and are dedicated to making a great experience.

Support your local businesses and try this Coney Island! You won’t be disappointed!

Edit: my waitress’s name was Cathy. She offered to give me a coffee to go and I didn’t even ask 🥹“

“Been here a few times and it is one of my favorite places to visit in Detroit. The drinks and food rotate and every time I go I find a new favorite!“

“My experience was fantastic!! Being the first time here. We went for a late lunch early dinner... The bartender was our waitress. I've been to other places where we have been served by the bartender that only cared about the regulars. She was awesome and very attentive. My dirty martini was on point! The burgers are huge and delicious. Brussel sprout app was delicious! Great onion rings. We will definitely be back!“

“I loved the vegan avocado BLT 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“The service is wonderful; they will take care of you and your guest(s). It is sure to be a cozy evening of fine dining.“

“Nice decor (loved the women's bathroom), great ambience, very friendly servers and the food was tremendous! We had the carrot and avocado salad and the seabass. Both were exceptional. I would definitely stop here again if we are ever in the area again.“

“This place is a gem .. so blessed to Have them in hamtramck. I hope they open on east Jefferson too ;)“

“Oktoberfest is awesome at Batch. Great music groups playing German and polka songs. The beer is great with many choices. Indoor or outdoor seating and great wait staff! The owner, Stephen, has a great personality and is around visiting with the crowd.“

“I’ve been coming here since I was a child, and it has always felt like home. Angie has a way of making everyone feel welcome, and you can tell she truly takes pride in both the food and the service.

The food is always wonderful, and the care they put into every visit never goes unnoticed.

Enjoy. 💙“

“Amazing dinner at Beppe! Every dish we had was outstanding, especially the branzino and lobster spaghetti. And the tiramisu was hands down the best we’ve ever tasted, even so we were still talking about it the next day! Great food and a memorable experience. We can’t wait to go back!“
