    Turkey Reuben, corn beef sandwich on onion roll, fried mushrooms, French fries
    Jacobia D.

    Amazing sandwiches! My first time trying corn beef and it was delicious. The sandwiches were huge and the bread was very fresh. The sandwiches were large enough to share or have leftovers. The menu prices were very affordable. I highly recommend the turkey Reuben or Corned Beef sandwich. Happy hour specials are offered daily. It's a great place for large groups and the inside is very spacious. You can dine inside or outside on the enclosed patio. They do allow smokers on the outside. The inside has a large full bar. You can dine at the bar or one the spacious tables. The service was a little slow getting our order but extra friendly. The food came out super fast once ordered. I highly recommend and would definitely go back again, it's close to the Detroit airport so it's a great place to dine before catching your flight or if you have a long layover.

    I like this place. Yep it's a dive, and a good one. Pool table, arcade games, pull tabs,. Sticking bathroom door that requires an extra oomph , outside seating, big bar, low lights. A great spot for corned beef or other sandwich/burger and a drink before boarding a plane or while waiting to pick someone up from airport. If I lived close it would be a good neighborhood hangout

    Visiting from out of town with a group, we all left happy. It's very loud. Like so, incredibly loud. If you want an in depth conversation, I would not recommend. Food was excellent and very plentiful. Everyone had leftovers. It came fast and steaming hot. It was an incredible value. The service was a tad slow despite the restaurant being slow, but not too bad. I'd recommend anyone driving through town to check this place out for a quality, hot, meal.

    Wings! So good!

    Believe every good review you see for this place! Is it a dive bar? Yes. Is the floor sticky? Yes? Does the food and drink cost 25% of what you're about to pay at DTW? Also yes. Service is great. Sandwich and wings were amazing. Beer is cold, plenty of TV's to watch sports. We've stayed near the airport many times before early flights out and only now found this place and it will be our new go to!

    I don't know why this place has 3 stars but hopefully we can fix that! We came in sat at the bar, 2 of us first. We were nicely greeted by the bartender who was super nice. We came on a Friday the special was fish & chips it was HUGE! I'm not a coleslaw person but this was fresh not mushy so I actually enjoyed it. The fish I had 3 giant pieces of cod, coleslaw, fries and a roll. I'm also not usually a French fry lover because I only like them hot & fresh which these were. The sauce that came with tarter which I didn't try and a delicious red hot sauce. The rest of my co workers arrived and ordered pulled pork sliders, jalapeño poppers, chicken cheesesteak and black bean burger. The portions are huge so go hungry or share! When you walk in it looks like a dive bar with pinball & some games. There are plenty of tables near a big huge TV for watching sports.

    Ok, so when we pulled up we looked around because we thought it was going to be a fast food joint. There were a lot of factors that had us looking sideways but it was almost midnight and we were starving so we decided to go for it. This place did not disappoint! It was a great vibe and a totally mixed crowd. The music was bumping 2000s hip hop and the waitresses were similar to urban style Hooters restaurant girls. The food was massive and it tasted great! I had a burger and fries and the hubby had the pastrami and corned beef sandwich and that was . The price was very reasonable and the service was great! The ONLY thing that annoyed me was that I had to pay too much for a little bottled water with my meal even with ordering food and drinks. If we are back in the area we will likely try it again.

    Low key, low lit, fast, and friendly service. Lots of TVs. Smoking on the enclosed patio. Good menu, not over the top pricing, food made to order as you like it. Reasonable beer list. Good place to stop for a bite.

    Corn beef sandwich and cheese fries.

    Huge corn beef sandwich. The bartender was extremely busy but still excellent service. My new place when I fly out if DTW.

    Ambiance was not my kind of thing I'm afraid. The rap music was a bit loud. The air was not fresh but had a 70's marijuana quality to it.

Food is good and I can personally recommend the habanero wings with ranch, French onion soup, and bbq burger. Delicious and a good value. Happy hour specials are available. Solid hotel bar/restaurant with a kind crew.

No choking was done here (thank god) but there were some things that jumped out to us. First is the setup, it looked like a place trying to be fancy when you walk in only to realize they give up on that when you get to the tables. Plain white walls with no seats at the high top tables near the bar and chairs in a disheveled manner, it looked like someone made a half-effort to clean the aftermath of a house party gone crazy for their parents about to arrive. Fortunately they sat us at a booth near the bar which thankfully was set up with silverware and such. As for service, we had an attentive server but she was handling the tables at the bar plus the bar itself and had to make all the drinks for people. Made me realize why I'm glad I'm no longer in the service industry with all the running around. My first glass of wine came quickly as did my dad's iced tea but refills took some time so yes, getting beverages or quick items took patience. I will give her an 'A' for effort as she ran faster than the Lions defenders trying to recover a fumble. Now the eats, we started with buffalo & sesame soy wings which my Dad loved but I thought eh, maybe it was the size of them and how some were crispy and some were tender. Afterwards, we got entrees: Me: Memphis BBQ Burger w/ Baked Potato and side of Broccoli Dad: Detroit Sliders w/ Onion Rings and side of Broccoli The burger was surprisingly tender and a perfect Medium and the BBQ sauce and crispy onions with bacon was a nice touch. Dad thought the sliders were ok; a bit bland. But he loved the onion rings as did I. The Broccoli was also tasty too; who says veggies have to be boring!? After dinner, we got a pecan pie for dessert (free dessert with check-in) and I added an irish coffee to help wash things down. The pie was excellent; the best part of the meal in my opinion. So the food is hit/miss but the food/drink prices are favorable. Plus the free dessert upon check-in is dope. Should I stay in this area again, I would probably pop back in for some cheap drinks and a quick bite.

    Would've been 4/5 stars if the front-of-house didn't get in its own way. We had a reservation and…read morestill waited 30-40 minutes, and I walked past whole empty sections on my way to the bathroom, so I don't know what the holdup was. The confirmation text didn't come through until we were already inside, which might be bad reception, but it almost cost us the table. Then they sat us right across from the back kitchen entrance. Banging, yelling, and an open doorway into the kitchen. Off-putting, especially with better seating clearly open. The food keeps the rating up. I did not expect a wings place, but the smoked wings were my favorite, right amount of crispy with good smoke. The sauce list is long and I couldn't pick a favorite. The ranch tasted house-made and it was amazing. The chikin soho was the other standout. Honey ginger glaze, chili dijon slaw, and pickles that all work together. Misses: the brisket nachos needed fresh guac and actual brisket, since there was barely any. The 6 cheese mac was fine but not worth ordering again. Prices were right for what it is, a bistro concept. It's in Wayne, which surprised me since I didn't know spots like this existed out here. Wide enough menu that I'll be back. Next time I'm speaking up about the seating.
