Restaurants in Ypsilanti

“The Italian was a mighty punch full of taste. I'll definitely be back”

“We had the best drinks, wine, food and service. Thank you Rich! We enjoyed ourselves immensely. We had an arugula salad, watermelon salad, chipotle chicken pizza, tofutti pizza, a few bottles of cab, some delicious drinks a tiramisu and the peach pot. Rich was slammed busy and he did not skip a beat. He was pleasant, friendly and a wonderful host. We were also pleasantly surprised when we saw the lovely event space on the second level. If you are looking to have a party this place is it. I can’t wait to return! Thanks for a great experience!”

“first time enjoying this restaurant! great food and Darren was amazing and very helpful with the new experience! 💯💯💯💯”

“The perfect little bar in the heart of Depot Town, Ypsilanti Michigan. Great service & amazing drinks! Whether you’re stopping in for a quick shot, or meeting up with a friend for drinks... the Wax Bar is the dive to dive in!”

“The food is great. The owner is so friendly .we've been coming since he opened . Highly recommended”

“During our 6 month stay in the Saline, MI area, Sushi Dabu was easily the best and our favorite restaurant to eat at. The couple that own/ operate the restaurant are so amazing, wonderful, professional, and extremely friendly. They made us feel as though we all had been friends for years. I lived in Okinawa and visited Korea a lot over the years and can very honestly and confidently say their food is easily comparable to the amazing local foods I ate while in those beautiful countries. Thank you so much for being such welcoming hosts and please know, if/ when we can back to Michigan, we Will be coming by to say hi and enjoy your amazing cuisine.”

“Always fresh and now with brunch a great place to eat. Staff is great and personable.”

“Can’t believe I drove by this place for so long without realizing what it was. Seriously best BBQ I have had in Southeast MI. Literally everything we had off the menu was amazing. Mac and Cheese along with the brisket was the best I think I’ve ever had anywhere. The quantities are smaller but prices are decent. It’s definitely not the classic pile of meat on a cafeteria tray style BBQ, but the flavor makes up for it. The vibes inside were awesome, dark speakeasy with exposed brick walls and low couches. Great cocktails and large selection of Shorts beer.”

“Our puppers had gone to a different play place but since coming to Dogtopia, he is more relaxed, and very happy. He is so excited to go to Dogtopia. When we ask him if he wants to go play with his friends his ears perk up, and he’s no longer droopy. I am also grateful to the staff, they have alerted us to a couple of medical things (left in staple), and are very caring about all the doggies. We love their special events too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Very yummy and delicious. The chocolate chuck cookie is my favorite”

“I am not affiliated with this restaurant bar, we just happen to share the same name, lol.

Great food, methinks. Good prices. Tasty drinks with a large selection too. Food and drink ordering is via digital stations, which is weirdly better. No hassle. Futuristic even.

Lots to do. Plenty of places to sit upstairs or down. It is Loud. The loudest place. Upstairs it's slightly less loud. And there's a pool table that's usually free and many arcade games and pinball too.

Good service as well, but they are usually quite under-staffed. Employees are polite and seem to keep their cool even when they're swamped.

Drinks come out right away usually, and the kitchen is surprisingly quick. I have tried the nachos, fries, traditional wings, two types of burgers and a few other things. Never once had a problem, darn good food, especially for a kid's arcade slash bar grill.”

“Attentive and friendly service. Good selection of a variety of Szechuan dishes, from meat to poultry to seafood to vegetable. We ordered kung pao chicken, mushroom minced shredded pork, string bean, chicken fried rice, and spicy cold noodle. All were flavorful and good portion.”

“It was fast food, and done pretty well. Food was good. Our server at the counter was excellent. Knew the menu. Made helpful suggestions. Filled our order. Restaurant was acceptably clean, and I can be fussy about cleanliness.”

“Very good pizza! Our family loves picking up dinner from here when we can. The service is amazing. The owner is very nice and he is passionate about his craft. He always has a new unique pizza to add to the menu. He told my boyfriend tonight that he has so many ideas! The man is a hard worker and you can tell he really cares about what he’s doing. I have even seen him sitting on the side of the road advertising for his business. Other local restaurant owners should take note! This place will always have our business when we are looking for an affordable and delicious dinner. Thank you Mama Pizza for everything you do!”

“First time at this establishment and I was pleasantly surprised. “The best combination of food, service and atmosphere that I’ve experienced in a very long time”. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ‼️”

“Great place with awesome crafters. Every cocktail I’ve had had been spot on fantastic.”

“Everything we have had at Spice Palace is fantastic. The flavors and freshness of their curries and other dishes are a delight. Their samosas are perfection. We have dined in a bit, but mostly ordered out (too many times to estimate) and it’s consistently great food.”

“I started going there since few years and even other than donuts. This place is better than Donut Dunkin! Staff friendly! Highly recommended!”

“Jannath is the nicest employee that works, in the Ypsilanti store she always greet you with a smile?”

“Yum!! 😍 I had my first one yesterday! I will definitely stop & get a cheese steak when I'm in the area! Kinda lucky that I work in that area a few times a week 😎 I highly recommend you try one if you have a thing for cheese steaks ❤️”

“I stopped here twice during the weekend of Astronomicon, it was that good. The staff was very friendly, and even remembered my name after one visit! The coney sauce is so f’n good. Honestly can’t wait until I’m back in the area to try more.”

“great food, great service, great customers, great atmosphere.”

“We were driving from Detroit to Holland and were looking for a good pizza place to try. The new Farmington location did not disappoint. Their customer service is top notch and the food is even better. The crust is so crispy and flavorful! You are doing yourself a disservice, if you don’t stop here. Take home a piece of the cheesecake as well! We will be stopping each time we are headed to the East side of the State. Thanks for a great dinner tonight!”

“My Husband and I accidentally came across this gem of a Burger 🍔 place. So happy we did!!! I’ve always said if you don’t need two napkins for your burger, it’s not worth it… I needed four! My brioche bun was toasted perfectly and the seasoning and juiciness of the burger was perfection. And you MUST not forget the seasoned fries - out of this world!!! Frank, you are incredible!!! My Husband and I will definitely be traveling from Toledo just for you and your crew! See you soon and thank you for such an amazing meal!”

“This evening, my daughter and I enjoyed a terrific meal and exceptional service. Our server, Laura, anticipated our wants and needs without any asking on our part. She was attentive and friendly. We also made a to-do order and it was delivered smoothly.”

“Great coffee! Like both locations!”

“This was my first time dining here, and I was thoroughly impressed! The food was absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection and brought out promptly. Lena was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was so positive and welcoming. Overall, a wonderful experience—I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“This is my go-to restaurant for falafel. They make it fresh and they offer a variety of fresh different toppings to add to the pita or bowl. Very filling. The fries taste good too. I would recommend this place.”

“My favorite shop in Ypsi! The staff is always so friendly, warm and welcoming, the coffee is exceptional. Whether you’re looking to meet up with some friends, or set up and work for a couple of hours”

“Excelente servicio y deliciosa comidita”

“Clean, friendly staff, and amazing fresh fruit. 🎉🎉 Will 100% be a regular.”

Whenever I'm in town I make sure I bring my family here as the atmosphere / environment is so welcoming and on top of all that freshness ..its not too hard on the wallet, GREAT FOOD FROM GREAT PEOPLE. Highly recommend”

“We had Dos Hermanos cater a party for 40 people and the food was excellent! All of our guests were raving about how great the tacos and chips were. We couldn’t be more pleased with the flavor, quality, prices and prompt service we received from Dos Hermanos. Fully recommend!”

“Just had our first order from Issa’s Pizza due to the article on MLive. We tried the Jamaican Jerk pizza and the cheezy bread. The dough is amazing. Service was fast and kind. Will try again.”

“The food is fantastic—everything from the greens and onion rings to the okra and homemade desserts. The place has a cozy, welcoming vibe, the bathrooms are clean, and the staff is genuinely kind and friendly. It’s the perfect spot for some hearty comfort food, especially during the colder months.”

“Super tender meat. Great taste. Great portions and great prices. I’m never out in this area and picked this spot to try for dinner. We are close to southwest Detroit and this Ypsilanti spot gives southwest a run for the money.”

“fAntastic spot! great everything. comedy night rules!”

“Incredible food at good prices! A must try!”

“great food and great service”

“Very cute and homey mom and pop restaurant with exquisite food and service :) we ordered the Red Sniper, Tilapia, Lamb Michoui, Maffe peanut butter stew, the Dibi, and Fatayas to share. All of the food was cooked excellently and was absolutely delicious! The lamb was my favorite but both fish were tasty and unique in their own rights with an excellent char. The staff we interacted with were extremely helpful answering our questions and I’d recommend anyone who hasn’t tried Khadi’s yet to swing by and give it a go!”

“The best Louisiana fish sandwich and burgers around. The service is always top notch and the atmosphere is a nice chill vibe. Support this local Ypsi, MI spot for sure.”

“Soooo delicious-- we dined in. I had a broccoli dish upgraded to noodles with an egg on top. The staff might seem abrupt but are so considerate, anticipating a need before I even asked. We will definitely return”

“I walked in and noticed a clean, calm, pleasant atmosphere. I was greeted by the very cheerful Audrey. She recommended the stir fry and took my order. I went with the Chili Jam Stir Fry.

“Absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic. Soo glad you are open on weekends again. Ordered the Gumbo soooo good and the catfish bites. Also ordered the vegetarian platter the mac and cheese is amazing and the candied yams and okra are fabulous. Highly recommend we will definitely be back.”

“Tried this at Eastern Market and loved it! My boyfriend who normally doesn’t like juices loved what he got as well! Thanks so much!”

“I LOVE this place. As a public servant, I often eat here as it is right down the road from Joe's. They are ALWAYS friendly, ALWAYS accommodate if I want to try something unusual (although I usually order the chicken Schwarma extra sauce....can't go wrong!!) and once a couple years back I had paid for my food and got called out for an emergency & someone came running out to the parking lot and vaulted my Schwarma through my ambulance window. I am a customer for life. ♥️”

“My absolute favorite spot in Ypsi!”

“The fried chicken is amazing. 🍗”

“Best baristas and coffee around! The staff is always super duper friendly and kind—like they are happy you are there. That makes a difference! Coffee is always yummy and made correctly to order. Our family favorite by far!”

“Great times! Good music!!”

“Im upset of not finding this place sooner! Amazing tasty food! The grape leaves rolls are from another world🙏❤️”

“Wow what a rare find here in the Midwest. I am from Tucson and have been very much missing authentic Mexican food and decided to try my luck once more as I was missing home today on Cinco de Mayo. I was SHOCKED at how amazing these tacos were. The meat was tender and flavorful and the tortillas were just right. I tried the Al pastor, carne asada, and birria, all of which were fantastic. This truly is an authentic spot that I am so happy to have found.”

“Recently moved here from Los Angeles (where we are spoiled with the best Mexican food) and have been on the hunt for the best tacos in the area. Tacos El Chaparrito is it!! Tastes like home 🥹 From the tortillas to the salsa to the horchata, everything is authentic and flavorful. 10/10!”

“Me encantan los tamales. Loving the tamales.”

“Cake looked gorgeous. Details were phenomenal. Cake was flavorful and moist. I like frosting so would have been happy with a thicker application but it was delicious nonetheless. Cake was not ready at original agreed upon pickup time but like a responsible, customer-service mindset business owner, Cynthia made arrangements to deliver the cake to our location with no additional charge. Big props for that!”

“Menudo on weekends! So good! And Cocido (beef vegetable but no tomato...really good but mild)...great mole....even nopales and eggs. I never miss going there when I am in the bay area!”

“First time here today for TAKE OUT and I will say it was a great experience. Easy parking lot to navigate, perfectly packaged food with all the condiments you could want. The waiter was so friendly! I had the mushroom/feta omelette (came with wheat toast AND it was packaged so nicely it was still REAL toast when I got home 😍) and blueberry pancakes! 10/10 Added a slice of strawberry cheesecake from their dessert case (I’m easily convinced 😅) 10/10! I’ll be back! I can’t believe it took me 6 years to give you guys a try!!”

“Absolute hidden gem! Food is always excellent with generous portions. The house-made naan is worth the visit alone. Staff are so welcoming and always ready with a suggestion for those looking to try something new!”

“43 for a hot sub 13 for a cold one”

“Best Mexican Food I've had in Michigan - (and would be happy to find this place anywhere) - Genuine tacos with onion, cilantro, and lime are very good - Enchiladas great - Sopes amazing -burritos amazing.”

“First time stopping in and grabbed a grilled chicken bánh mì on my way to work. I will certainly be stopping by much more frequently after how delicious the flavorful the bánh mì was!”

“Nice little spot to get work done or just enjoy some coffee. Plenty of gluten free and even vegan baked good/ food options. They also have a small list of refreshing mocktails.”

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere and service were excellent! We will be back.”

“We had brunch at Tikalito today and everything was fantastic! I had the huevos rancheros - the best I’ve had since I lived in L.A. twenty-plus years ago. My wife had a chicken tamale and it too was out of this world - the masa was thick and flavorful. And the refried beans… a hint of cocoa, flavored with molé, maybe? Super friendly service too. Everyone seemed genuinely grateful Check them out, ASAP! You’ll be super glad you did.”

“I enjoy it.?”

“The harvest Moon Cafe has a nice menu selection including sandwiches, burgers and dinners as well as breakfast served until 3:00 p.m.. I highly recommend the Thanksgiving dinner as it comes with plenty of sides and is reasonably priced.”

“Great customer service!! Carrot cake was amazing but cannoli was a little too crunchy. Although the cashier highly recommended the cannoli cake and the Reese’s pie.”

“Nice classic grilled. Food is amazing and staff is always friendly.”

Their responses to the reviews seem to defer away from being responsible for negative reviews.”

“Pool tables, darts, pinball. Cheap drinks. Trivia night, karaoke 2x a week”

“Great experience today!! We went in this evening around 6pm. We were seated really quickly, food came out quickly as well. Our server Savannah was doing great tonight. The GM Drew was providing excellent management as evidenced by observing Savannah and the other servers bustling around and providing great experiences for the guests. Some of my family members had burgers and chicken, I had a veggie burger. One family member really enjoyed the presentation of those cinnamon donut things. Everything was really nice, from walking in, to eating, restrooms were well cleaned. Thanks Red Robin and staff!!”

“Came here for a family dinner to celebrate after a courthouse wedding and the staff were amazing! Our party of 13 was a lot but they were so accommodating and sweet. Hot honey pepperoni deep dish with garlic parmesan butter crust was sooo good. Also their mozzarella sticks are delicious and have a wonton/eggroll wrapper crust, delicious, and the brussel sprouts are to die for. The historic building has a really charming atmosphere and the staff doing an amazing job made this night perfect! Thank you all so much!! We will come back here the next time we are in Ypsilanti for sure!!”

“This place is yummy!
I had the grilled chicken chimichanga.
It was excellent! The chips were great & their salsa is awesome too. And I'm real picky about that.”

“If you were to pull up to the building you would kind of wonder if it's still in business. With the weeds growing around the sidewalks and the around the building, you kind of wonder what the status is. First impressions are important, what's your in the building it's not so bad. The food was average, the people that are pretty nice, and atmosphere is fine. They definitely have the potential to make a great restaurant. The beans seem like they came out of a can.”

“The best taco truck around.”

“Ordered through Doordash at 10PM on Christmas evening! What a lifesaver. Dark meat chicken is so good. Lightly breaded (if any breading at all). The skin is very crispy and tasty. Ate it with pickled jalapeno and fried pickles. Reasonable price.”

“We went to India Cafe recently and we had a marvelous time! The waiter that served us was very kind and the food was exceptional. My family and I agree on one thing: This is by far the best Indian cuisine that you can get in the Ann Arbor area.”

“is Powell's shut down because someone told me y'all were”

“A great place to go the staff is amazing I love to learn more about the teas and shakes the nutrition part which staff is always available to give answers”

“Their customer service was awesome AK was incredibly friendly and appears to enjoy his job this is definitely the better cinnabon we've been to in Ann arbor!”

“Lucky Garden has been a staple in Ypsilanti. Sometimes over looked because it’s north of EMU campus. The best Chinese food in Ypsilanti and with the new ownership it’s somehow gotten even better. Some of my favorites are Hunan Chicken, Beef Lo Mein, Crab Rangoons, and the Won Ton Soup is great.”

“This place change management was for the best, they are so friendly and nice. they always welcome us with a smile.
It is our go-to for many things besides ice cream. The cheese curds are to die for. The burgers are simply delicious, and of course, the Ice cream is always the best.”

“Peanutbutter shake is OFS. will be back for biology fries”

“My family and I ate here Friday night. The 45 minute drive was well worth it! The food here is AMAZING!”

“I love Steak and Shake, but I order Cheeseburgers and get freaking Hamburgers but pay for Cheese! You can’t eat in the restaurant! I wish I could leave a 1 ⭐️ on not getting their orders right!”

“good, quick, diner breakfast restaurant. big portions, very reasonable pricing. actually a great experience. Purchases on low end, not high quality products. Lots of parking, seat yourself.”

“Good food and good people.”

“My children, 11 and 7 and myself stopped in for dinner. My husband was in the hospital. The kids and I needed real food.
The place was decorated for Christmas already. Super cute.
Literally no wait for a table. The hostess asked if we wanted a booth or a table. Which was nice, not a normal question I’ve been asked before.
Our server, Kharmein, was an absolute delight. I will come back just for her.!!! I even told her that.
She was great with my kids and made me feel better after the horrible day I’ve had. She was very tentative, patient and compassionate!!”

“Not sure what the hell broccolini is but damn, my friends sure love it. The beers are quite intoxicating if I do say so myself, my goal is to drink one of everything available and engage in a quarrel with a homeless man on my way home.”

“The Chicken Tenders were so good and the fries were everyone's favorite. The order was on time, nice and hot.”

“We moved to the area and are checking out restaurants around us. In the past few weeks we've been here at least 4 times. I think this will be our new goto place! On my third visit, the hostess sat us done and the waitress brought me my drink! She already recognized me and knew what I wanted. That's cool!”

“Jenn was our server this past weekend, what an amazing person. Very thoughtful and had no problems walking us through our menu thoughts. The food was great and was made perfectly. We visit the coney all the time and we have never of had a bad experience.”

“Nu wave is always good comfort food !”

“I've eaten takeout from here a few times and it is so delicious. Especially the guac. But I wish they had more vegetarian options, I'd love to order a rice and bean burrito or a veggie chimichanga.”

“I have only ever gotten carry out, but have done so since they opened. Their food is phenomenal. There is no Vietnamese restaurant near where I used to live so I always ordered Phô to relieve a specific craving, but since I have moved closer my mother and I are trying everything and EVERYTHING IS AWESOME. Also, the prices are good, the service is awesome and the timing is impressive. They have continued to expand their menu and it's all amazing! 10/10”

“9th straight consecutive days "need i say more" I took my folks to breakfast multiple times small town type of diner with a high quality of absolutely everything on the menu, many places I'm skeptical to order oatmeal "I was highly pleased " having added it on this 9th visit this morning Thank you all for showing still great service, awesome company and smiles plentiful”

“My sick partner and i ordered out of convenience but were very surprised! the employees were kind enough to seperate the broth from the noodles so nothing got soggy. huge portions and great prices. could use some more seasoning sometimes but that is my only complaint.”

“Great place! Food is always amazing and great service. My husband and I try and stop every time we are in town.”

“Wonderful customer service and delicious food”

“Best pizza in Ypsi and it's not close.”

“The guy behind the counter is great,he made sure my order was correct and cooked my pizza to perfection.ive never seen a pizza so laid out evenly it looked like the pizza in commercials.”

“Enjoyed amazing soul food for a very awesome price. The red beans and rice were fire!!! Also I had the sweet potato pie and wow tasted almost as good as grandmas!!!! The okra was fried perfectly and the yams omg!! I would highly recommend this place!!!”

“Chicken chop suey looks great they didn’t overcook the veggies the box is full, unlike another place off carpenter Road and Packard, I’m not gonna name the name but when you pick up the box and tip it on its side it’s only half full. Its name starts with a K… ordered a fried rice combo mix veggies plate that’s an extra two dollars for the pork mixed in to the rice. It used to be free, but that was like 20+ years ago. Perfect fried rice not too greasy!”

“Awesome vegan options and worth the price”

“This store is remarkably better than the other taco bell in the area. The mich. Ave location should be REALLY embarrassed. Monique stands out in a group of stand outs. Jamie is the best manager”

“I googled restaurants in Howell and Lefty's popped up. I'm glad that I stopped by. I had the #3 big poppa meal,it was great!! Best cheesesteak that I've had in a long time. I normally get the traditional cheesesteaks but something told me to try this one,glad i did.Fries were nice and hot still even after taking my food back to the hotel.I saved room for dessert and had the oreo cheesecake and it was very good!!! It almost taste like the owner made it fresh for me after I ordered it, very good.This is definitely a place that I will try again when I'm in the area. If I could I would give Lefty's 6 stars. Everything WAS done right”

“Omg!! This place is so good!! Fresh hot food so good!! love it!! my new spot come see for your self. And nice and friendly customer service.”
