“A great place to unwind after a long blast thru the galaxy searching for 🖖 spock. Plenty of delicious protein based meals and adult refreshments to make you forget about your troubles for a little while. A must visit after partaking in our many vegi-based smoke shops, which can also help in relaxing a bit.”

“Had a nice visit. The barmaid Ann was very friendly and the drink prices where not expensive. I played a game and enjoyed the couple hours I was there.
This bar is a yes for me.”

“You really don't meet nice service people anymore. But at this place, Charity, won my heart. Thank you for making my experience a happy one. Peace.”

“Smokin' Steve's catered our wedding and we couldn't thank them enough! Everyone LOVED our food and people still talk about how delicious it was. We also chose to have the charcuterie table for our cocktail hour, and it was BEAUTIFUL. All of our guests were saying how they didn't want to be the first people to eat off it because it was so nicely set up. Julie was great to work with in organizing everything we wanted prior to the wedding, and the entire staff they had helping on wedding day were so kind. I highly recommend!”

“Great corned beef and burgers. Friendly people.”

“Had a great time with all my friends and Amber our waitress\ barmaid hooked us up some really good burgers and fried zucchini. Atmosphere was really good if I could have had a few drinks it would have been a perfect afternoon out after such a long time of isolation from all my friends. Thank you Amber?????”

The perfect amount of sauce and cheese and all of those delicious toppings, definitely Heaven on Earth. I am super impressed as well as satisfied and will be back soon. I definitely recommend ❤️ Thank you River Rouge Hungry Howies”

“Haven't been here in awhile. Now I remember why. Waited almost 10 minutes at the counter before anyone took my order. They could have attest acknowled they knew I was waiting to be served instead of rolling their eyes and giving dirty looks. The food sucked fries where cold and tough.
The guy cleaning the lobby just starts spraying stuff on the floor not caring g if he gets it on you then left the floor so wet you basically slipped your way out the door.”

“just the vibe the food is the icing on the cake”

“We dined here prior to seeing a show at the Fisher. From the minute we walked in we were so Impressed. The staff at the door were super friendly and took us directly to our seats. The waitstaff was extremely attentive, and the food was amazing. We cannot wait to go back. We highly recommend!”

“Amazing! The steaks are top notch and the seafood may be the best in the state! Easily the best service in the city to top it off!”

“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!!!”

“Wow. What an absolutely fantastic final dinner of 2023! After we managed to find a late dinner reservation for New Year's Eve, it was a relief to discover that our excitement about the tasting menu was well-placed. I would definitely recommend the drink pairings as well! The amuse-bouche featuring oysters from the West and East coasts was a delightful way to splash into the meal. The wasabi and the mangosteen featured in each of the oysters, respectively, complimented the beautiful brine of the oysters in such a wonderfully playful way. This first tasting urged us to pause the menu progression and order an extra dozen oysters to explore the other possibilities. Tasting from Vancouver to Prince Edward Island, they were beautifully prepared and of excellent quality. The first course of lobster salad felt like a summer in Maine. Not that I've ever been to Maine, but the imaginary scene flashed across my vision as I took that first refreshing bite. The grapefruit emulsion worked almost majestically with the light, refreshing flavor of the lobster salad. The tapioca chip was perfect for the crunch to fully bring the different elements of the dish together. A fascinating intersection of refreshment and comfort. The second course was the potato pavé. I'll be thinking of this potato often for the foreseeable future. It was one of those dishes that makes your eyes pop open a bit when you bite it as you realize how good it is. A beautifully layered and seared rectangle of flaky delicious potato resting with a lovely salsa brava speckled with trout roe, topped with tarragon, cured trout, and black truffle flakes. I don't even know what else to say. It was stunning. Sea urchin buttered ramen, the third course, will always be what I wish my at-home thrown-together ramen could be. It was rich, it was luscious, it was comforting. Growing up in southeast Texas, crawfish boils were always some of the most exciting times of the year. The crawfish tails in the ramen brought me back to those summer days eating crawfish with a cold beer. The duck breast for the fourth course was exceptionally cooked. It was juicy and flavorful and made a perfect bite with a bit of cauliflower, raisins, apricot, agrodolce, and foie-sauce. Each bite was such a symphony of flavor that kept me coming back. Last but absolutely not least was the gâteau ardéchois: the chestnut cream cake. Accompanied by cranberry coulis and crispy meringue bites, this dessert was a sweet but still mellow finish. While the coffee mascarpone ice cream was a robust and complementary flavor, we both agreed the vanilla coconut ice cream was the star between the two. Thank you again to the stellar crew at Mink! Happy New Year!”

“Luke was an excellent driver on Detroit Rolling Pub. He was lots of fun and a careful and alert driver.”

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

“If you're in Detroit and you're a foodie like I am, Vecino is not to be missed. This was truly one of the best experiences I've had a restaurant from top to the bottom! The ambiance, the music was fantastic, the food was soo flavorful and just sublime, and Molly the bartender just killed it! Molly was fantastic, she was super genuine and friendly, attentive, and she even gave me a recommendation for a cool wine bar the next night. Highly highly recommend Vecino its fantastic!”

“Gentlemen, my day started out with getting a different car for a friend today, and then checking to see if my mom's house that she grew up in is still on 51 LeBlanc, River Rouge, unfortunately it's no longer standing, so we finished by stopping by for a Lafayette Coney Special, It was the Best Coney Dog and the Service was Awesome, God Bless You All & Thank You, & May Your Business that has been around since 1914, have many more years, Therefore if anyone is traveling through Detroit, MI, make sure you Stop By & Get Yourself a Lafayette Coney Island Special, You Won't Be Disappointed.”

“If you’re in Detroit and craving pizza, definitely check out Mootz Pizzeria. The pizza was delicious, the crust was perfect, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The staff was friendly, the place had a great vibe, and everything came out fresh. Easily one of the best pizza spots I’ve tried in Detroit. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Fantastic, fresh and delicious! Mini Greek with a traditional gyro was top notch, we will be back.”

“Last night we made a pilgrimage to Detroit for one reason only, to visit TAKOI. We had the 6 course chef’s choice menu (plus another few courses on the house). I had very high expectations, but the staff and food managed to exceed them. If anyone is ever in downtown Detroit. You MUST try Takoi!🍜🍲”

“My husband and I saw a review of Sicily's, and wanted to try it. It did not disappoint! We got the deep dish, and an order of meatballs, for take-out. It was an hour drive to get home. I had a bite of it while it was cold, and it was super good! I put the rest of the piece in the air fryer, and it was amazing. The sauce is fresh tasting, and the crust was crispy on the bottom, and chewy in the middle. The cheese on the edge was slightly brown, and crisp, just the way I like it. This was absolutely the BEST pizza I've ever had, and I've had a lot in my almost 65 years! Meatballs? Another best ever! Tender and so much flavor, with a good amount of marinara, so that every last meatball has as much as you could want. It was DEFINITELY worth the trip, and well worth the money! I would be in so much trouble if I lived closer, but I would do it again in a heartbeat! And to top it off, the Chef/Manager was SO nice and friendly! We had a very nice chat with him about the sourdough, and the restaurant, and how much he loves what he does. And you can tell! I highly recommend trying this place, they are about 1 block off of the freeway, and easy to get to.”

“We had an excellent time at Bar Pigelle. Our waitress, Jaina, was wonderful! My partner has a sensitivity to cured meats and she made sure the prosciutto on the grilled peaches was on the side to accommodate him. The food was excellent and its arrival timed perfectly. The free parking lot across the street was also a great offering as parking nearby can get full quick. We got the grilled peaches, the smashburger, the steak frites, and chocolate mousse. I’d recommend splitting the steak frites (it’s a 14 oz!) and getting some additional small plates/appetizers to compliment/round out the meal. Their mocktails are also fantastic. We are looking forward to coming back soon!”

“Some of the most amazing food we’ve ever eaten”

“We always have a great experience here. The food is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere makes it an easy place to relax and enjoy a meal. Service was just as strong—our waitress was very attentive and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. It’s the kind of place where you feel well taken care of without even having to ask. Lumen really stands out as a go-to spot for both great food and reliable service.”

“Lamb and Osso Bucco were so good, homemade rolls were amazing pillows of goodness and ordered the bread pudding to go but smells amazing”
