Voyager 600 Vester St, Ferndale Seafood • $$$

“Shut up and take my money! Cleanest, crispest, freshest oyster selection that I have ever had the pleasure to lay my eyes on. A wonderfully knowledgeable bar staff, a kitchen that takes pride in their product, I really couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable experience. They're happy hour offers a selection of oysters professionally shocked by someone who cares about what you're eating. And at a price point that is extremely competitive to other oyest bat happy hour restaurants in the area you can't find a better quality morsel of sweet sweet goodness. I won't name names, but there are a few bars that have lost a loyal HH customer today. and that's really all I have to say about that.”

Coeur

Coeur 330 W Nine Mile Rd, Ferndale French • $$$

“We visited Coeur recently for the first time. The good: We liked the atmosphere of the restaurant.....very different from the former Assagi. Feel free to come casual. The restaurant was busy but not totally filled. Vibrant but not so noisy you can't talk to other people at your table. We started with the bread basket ($7) that comes with two excellent flavored butter...one quite spicy that I loved personally, and potatoe croquettes which were delicious....light as feather on the inside and crispy on the outside. My wife had the lamb burger and I had the steak frites. Both were cooked perfectly and very tasty as were the delightful fries that came with. We ordered the choc chip cookies for dessert which were good but have had better. Huge wine selection as well. Service was as good as it gets. The "bad"? The menu is pretty limited in terms of main plates. Although we found the portions adequate we heard others at neighboring tables complaining about the portions. Folks, you aren't at Olive Garden so don't expect an obscene amount of food to arrive on your plate. If you are looking for a new place to try on a night out I would recommend giving Coeur a try....just take a peek at the menu to make sure there are options on the menu that are appealing to you and your guests. If there is, you will no doubt enjoy your meal and experience there!”

“I love this place and the people who took care of us. We had a party of ten and everything was very good. What stood out to me the most was how out of the way the employees went for us. I ordered something to go also and paid for it and forgot about it and left in a hurry because I had the tickets for an event we were attending on the next block. I didn't get his name but a nice man actually came to the event to find the person who forgot their takeout order. The server remembered me saying we were going there next. He went back and got my takeout and brought it back to me. You just don't find as many people that nice who cares as much these days.”

Payment is clunky as you have to manually enter your credit card information. Not to mention you have to pay and tip before you receive any service.

Schramm's Mead 914 Livernois St, Ferndale American • $$

“Bought my first bottle of Madeline a couple weeks ago and just finished it, I've been sipping it so I don't chug the bottle. This is definitely the best mead I've ever had and I would go as far as to say the best alcoholic beverage I've ever had. It's like they took the tears of a God and bottled them for us mere mortals to drink.”

“LOVE this place! I am doing a weekend getaway and stumbled upon this place on Google maps and chose it due to the cute decor. I had the wings and pretzels.

RE BBQ 600 Woodward Heights, Ferndale Barbeque • $

“Dude's BBQ is sick. He hooks it up with extra sides too. However, it's first come, first serve. So you might be standing in line for 30 minutes with 15 other people, get up there to order and whatever you wanted is sold out. If there's huge line, i don't even bother anymore. It's only open like one day a week now, maybe two if you're lucky lol.”

Port 116 E Troy St, Ferndale Bar • $

“I live in the neighborhood, like the bar however this outdoor bar could reinvent itself as a beachside surf bar, serve tropical cocktails and beer, paint everything baby blue with surf boards and coconuts and actually use the rooftop.But the WAB chooses to be a boring monopoly instead.”

4.6 Superb7 Reviews

“Always fresh, quick, and tasty. No "dine in" service any longer (since Covid). You may optionally eat your takeout at a table (unattended) if needed, and they struggled to get menus printed for over a year. But none of these nuances is remarkable for this type of restaurant. Their curries, soups, and Pad Thai are very remarkable, and I am very grateful it is in my neighborhood.”

Food is always excellent, far far above & beyond typical bar food - love everything from their dill pickle pizza to wings to salads to delicious chicken tenders. Take-out pizza is also a great option. And drinks are consistently flowing. Great place to watch games or just hang out on any given night. Proud to call this place our fave neighborhood haunt!!”

Second Base Pub & Grub 1309 E 9 Mile Rd, Ferndale Bar & Grill • $

“Small local bar, with a unmodernized feel. This is a good thing. I stopped by as my guy Mark told me the wings were crazy. I didn't feel like cooking and can always go for a good wing so I stopped by. I didn't like you couldn't look at the menu online but wasn't mad about it. When I got there it was packed, I had completely forgot that Michigan had its national football game this Monday. Nonetheless I went to the bar and ordered wings and a burger. Again, I wanted to see the menu online so I would have an idea of food cost. I ordered a burger and wings based off of Yelp, wings $12.95 for 10 and burger $11.95 but that comes with fries. The Burger is a double smashed patty with fresh toppings and a cheese of your choice. The wings came in a sweet and spicy glaze and are huge! I wasn't entirely sure of the food at first but when I got home I took a bite of the burger and started crying. It was everything I wanted in a burger, not fancy but not lacking in flavor. The wings THE WINGS! These gotta be jumbo wings and are cooked to perfection, excellent crispness! GREAT FLAVOR My only area for opportunity would be the fries. My portion looked like all the leftovers from previous fresh order and was still small. Plus these are bagged fries, but I don't mind that if they taste good just respect my lil portion lol. The fries were good, but I needed a few more, overall check them out well worth it.”

Woodward Avenue Brewers 22646 Woodward Ave, Ferndale Brewery • $$

“Okay so to be clear, WAB has been closed since the pandemic BUT there is this sweet pop up inside of the main floor. According to the bartender the pop up is going to become a permanent thing. Small cocktail menu with great bartenders who obviously love what they're doing. The setting is dark with lounge chairs/couches. A great place to go for a first date because it's dark and relaxed. They play heavy metal and were burning incense so I felt like I was back in my childhood because that's all my brother used to do as a teen lol. Def recommend this place but again, this is NOT WAB. I got confused with that and don't want to steer people wrong lol”

“I love this place and the people who took care of us. We had a party of ten and everything was very good. What stood out to me the most was how out of the way the employees went for us. I ordered something to go also and paid for it and forgot about it and left in a hurry because I had the tickets for an event we were attending on the next block. I didn't get his name but a nice man actually came to the event to find the person who forgot their takeout order. The server remembered me saying we were going there next. He went back and got my takeout and brought it back to me. You just don't find as many people that nice who cares as much these days.”

“It was the perfect day to enjoy the patio at the Emory. Mellita, our waiter made sure we enjoyed our experience. We had a few sliders and fries. I had the regular fries, and they left alot to be deserved, they lacked seasoning and flavor for me. The truffle fries were obviously more elevated. The chipotle honey bbq slider was good, however i anticipated that the chicken would be drenched in the sauce, the sauce was only on top there top portion of the bun. The classic with substituted turkey patty with the special sauce was great. I added lettuce and tomato as well.”
