New American Restaurants in Detroit, MI

“Cannot go to bed tonight without writing this review first. Sat at the bar and service was impeccable. Bartender/waitstaff really knew the menu well. Ordered the trout, beet salad, and gnocchi all of which were flavorful and texturally perfect. For dessert, ordered the upside down carrot cake and pavlova. Ate every last bite even though we were already full. We will be coming back and bringing friends!“

“Had the absolute best experience. I've frequented a few Michelin star restaurants and the Highlands definitely deserves one! Took my boyfriend for his birthday, and we both got different courses so combined we tried 6 dishes - the bread and butter is superb, loved the prawns, tuna crudo is fantastic, NY strip cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!!“

“Went by with some buddies. The veal mystery meat and corned beef sliders were very good. Also had the wedge salad and really liked the thousand island. One of my buddies got the cucumbers and said they were great as well...quite the selection...I had the buffalo chicken and Philly as well and they were good just really liked the other two....cool spot and would recommend.“

“Noah made my experience! He was so gracious and helpful. He took the extra time to make sure I had a good experience. The bar was slammed and I could tell they were busy. I had to send something back and he didn’t make me feel like I inconvenienced anyone. That’s a big win. I’ll be back ❤️??“

“Service, food and atmosphere are beyond outstanding! If you have not been, what are you waiting for?! Their famous burger is served lunch every day and Sunday dinner. We had both the burger and Tinned Fish. . .. happy dance for both! Enjoy!“

“I can only speak to the downtown spot, hands down cleanest taps , how can I tell ?!! The taste, you can’t even compare. You have to try yourself, don’t take my word for it. I’m not an avid beer drinker, my go to is soft parade, it just hits different here ! Burgers; amazing, tacos; amazing. Best part , great prices.“

“My girlfriend and I were in town for a concert this weekend and stopped in for brunch before heading home. We wanted to visit another spot but they had a a near two hour wait and after driving around, we found Grand Trunk Pub. Thankfully they had people dining on an outside patio area they created because we probably wouldn't have noticed. We sat on the patio and I have to admit, I'd never done that in the City of Detroit. It was a great day for it too. The food was really good. I got the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. It was ok and probably not something I'd get again (I'm picky about my chorizo.) but looking at their menu there were lots of good sounding options. My girlfriend got the Chicken and Waffles and we got the Reuben wantons. We loved them! And the Bloody Mary she ordered was insane! I'm still floored that it had a mini grilled cheese on it and a strip of thick cut bacon with it. As usual, parking is always a PITA in Detroit but if you're looking for a place, give them a shot.“

“Have come here a few times since moving to Detroit. It's in a very old mostly abandoned industrial part of the city along the Detroit River, made better by nice new development nearby, adjoining a portion of the beautiful Detroit River Walk, and on a strip near the Atwater Grill with other businesses. Very nostalgic looking business whose interior including bathrooms have certainly seen better days, but made comfortable by the nice wait staff and VERY HOSPITABLE owner who is most always available and a pleasure to chat with. Generally speaking the food here is very good. I'd call this a must visit little foray into old Detroit, where you can get a nice meal and drinks well off the beaten path. I like it.“

“Got food and drinks here before Red Wings game. Good experience. Server was great. Everyone enjoyed the food. Walking distance to LCA. Good place for those with celiac. They have lots of gluten free options on the menu.“

“So this rating is for the desserts only. My Wife and I were at the DIA not that long ago and stopped at Kresge Court for a quick snack. The crème brûlée was phenomenal. As were the donut bites. It's a fun place to stop and rest for a bit while you're exploring the DIA“

“Barcade remains an absolute blast, especially when I'm hanging out with my 30-something-year-old son and his friends. There's an abundance of entertaining games for everyone, ensuring a lively atmosphere throughout. For beer enthusiasts, it's akin to stumbling upon a hoppy paradise; the bar selection is simply outstanding.While they do offer food, our primary focus was on indulging in games, drinks, and, of course, catching the college basketball finals on TV. Don't forget to have your ID handy as everyone gets carded – a testament to their commitment to a safe and enjoyable environment.I wholeheartedly endorse this venue, particularly for those aged 25 to 35 who will revel in the diverse array of games on offer. From pinball to high-speed driving simulators to classic Ms. Pac-Man, there's something here to satisfy every gaming taste bud and keep the fun going all night long.“

“I had a delicious biscuit and a Black Tonic! Very interesting beverage if you’re feeling a little daring - I liked it!“

“I went here on a friend's advice. Chef Greg was very cool! He even brought the food out to my car. I had meatloaf...very very good! Mac and cheese was awesome! Also had the house specialty sub sandwich-ground beef with a special house sauce...sorry Chef Greg, I can't remember...was it Bogaloo sauce? Great, but messy, sandwich! Sadly, it was carry out only. Not too far from my Dearborn home. Can't wait to go back!“

“We had a gift card from the Detroit Redwings that we had to use, and we are so glad that they threw in the gift card. I had the 10 oz steak and it was incredible but the dessert was my favorite. We ordered something called The Game and it was incredible. I highly recommended this place.“

“Highly recommend. Their brunch menu was sooo good!! The French toast was incredible, the sweet potato biscuit was delicious, brisket brunch burger was divine..all sooo good. Christian was our waitress and she was amazing!!“

“Marvin was very attentive, great menu options.“
