The people working here were so friendly and personable with literally everyone that walked in the door. The service was top notch. It is also the most adorable place giving vibes of Lamy's food counter at Henry Ford Museum. I loved all of the options on the menu and it was so hard just picking a couple items to try. We had chicken tacos. They were so good and so fresh, I loved the sauce on top. Honestly, I am not sure if it was cheese or a sour cream type mixture, but it was creamy and flavorful. I also had the torta which was absolutely incredible. It had the same chicken as the taco. The chicken was slow cooked or stewed and shredded and was so flavorful, like a homecooked chef's kiss. The bread was fresh. I loved the sauce poured over it, making it a dipped and soaked sandwich. The carrots and cilantro, sliced radishes and sliced fresh jalapenos added a level of crunch, freshness and deeper flavor profile. I would want to get this every time. We also tried their delicious "curly" fries, which were like julienned shoestring fries fired fresh. It seemed like every dish was made fresh and right in front of you. So worth it, plus the prices are great. I would love to try their fried chicken plate, their breakfast sandwiches, and their other desserts. We talked to the man behind the counter who seemed like maybe a manager. He gave us their famous chocolate chip cookie to try. It was fresh baked and delicious. I would love to take home more of those. It looked so simple but was better than many bakeries specializing in cookies alone. He also gave us an second order of fries to take home with my leftovers, just top notch kindness and service. This man told us that OWL owns other restaurants and we would probably like them. I am open to trying more of their group but I do want to return here. This is one of those diners you would find being profiled for best kept secret or gourmet home cooked foods under the guise of fast food.

Details: walking in you will immediately fall in love with the eclectic decor, it's quirky and themed and it has its own personality. The food was seriously delicious, that perfect cafe mix of fresh and comforting. I love the sweet potato goat cheese salad that I add salmon to, also the potato salad is delicious! Ive also been here for one of their events, line dancing, which was just so fun!!

Maybe once a month. Came here with a friend. Host was incredibly overwhelmed and snappy with us. Short haired, older woman. We get seated. I order a chicken salad. When it comes I notice the whole dish smells a little funky. I notice the manager walking by so I wave her down and mention it. She's rushing and barely hears me out. I continue to eat it with her reassurance. Later, I'm woken in the middle of the night, very sick. Vomited for so many hours I went to the hospital and had to get a shot of anti-emetic. Not even a matter of if I wanted to come back here (they acted slammed while the seating in the building holds maybe 50 people all at once and they have a fully kitted staff) It's a matter of health and safety on whether I CAN come back.

We visited Hudson Café while spending a beautiful day exploring downtown Detroit, and it was an…read moreexcellent experience. The city was bustling with people, and I was pleasantly surprised by how gorgeous the downtown area was. The café had a vibrant, energetic atmosphere that perfectly matched the excitement of the city. Our server was absolutely amazing and made excellent recommendations. The portions were generous, and the food was delicious. Based on the recommendation, I ordered the corned beef hash with the cinnamon pancakes, and both were fantastic. Next time, I definitely want to try the red velvet pancakes! My friend ordered the Triple Triple Omelette with the original buttermilk pancakes, and we both chose the cheesy grits. The cheesy grits were very creamy, though I would recommend adding a little more butter to enhance the flavor. That was really my only critique. The restaurant was busy, but after dining there, I completely understand why. Despite the crowd, we were greeted immediately, and the service was prompt throughout our visit. Overall, Hudson Café delivered great food, outstanding service, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere. I will most certainly be back the next time I'm in downtown Detroit!

I like this location better than the one in Troy. We stopped in on a random Tuesday for brunch and…read moreit was busy but we were seated right away. I imagine a reservation is a must for a weekend. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating, and drinks and food came out quickly. I appreciate they have espresso drinks, and ordered the chai latte but it was a little too sweet for me - I'd go with a plain latte next time. I also think I may have ordered the wrong dish because my mom got an omelette with pancakes on the side and enjoyed it. I gambled with the huevos rancheros but they were just ok. I wish the potatoes were more seasoned. You definitely get a huge portion for whatever you order so expect to split with someone or have leftovers. All in all, a solid brunch spot but not a favorite.

The fruit on the side was actually really fresh, but for the price I expected the toast itself to be a lot better. Service was a little slow, but our server was really nice so that helped. I came during a lunch rush and was able to get seated right away, which was a plus. Overall, I would probably come back and try something different because the location is nice, but I wasn't a fan of what I ordered this time.

We stopped into Ferndale's TOAST one weekday morning about 1030 am. Parking on the street was easy,…read morethough i think there's limited parking behind the eatery as well. The restaurant entrance dining area was nearly empty so we were invited to sit wherever we were comfortable. The place is beautifully decorated with toasters, art and flowers. Very clean too! I noticed the placement of noise-reducing, anechoic ceiling panels - very helpful when there's a full house of noisy patrons! The staff we interacted with were friendly, unobtrusive and knowledgeable about menu options. Another plus. I ordered a "hair of the dog" Breakfast Shot with accompanying OJ and bacon. It was delicious! My full order "Salmon Toast" loaded with lox, tomato, red onion, capers and cream cheese was HUGE, and tasted great! The toasted bread was warm and crusty too. Know that the other half of that sandwich came home with me for second meal. Price point is reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food and beverage options. I definitely recommend Toast in Ferndale.

This was my first time visiting Toast after hearing so many great things about the food. When we…read morewere seated, I noticed crumbs on the table and politely asked the waitress if she could wipe it down. She responded that she already had, but I pointed out that there were still crumbs there. She seemed irritated, so I even offered to wipe it myself if she gave me the towel. She then asked me to show her where the crumbs were and wiped them off. Unfortunately, her attitude throughout the interaction was very rude and unprofessional. My sister then asked to speak with a manager. When the manager came over, the other ladies in our group also mentioned the waitress's attitude. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, the general manager became defensive and stated that the waitress did not have a nasty attitude. He then told us that if we wanted to leave, we could leave because he was not going to be bothered with us. He took our menus and asked us to leave simply because we requested that the table be cleaned properly. I would love to see better service and customers treated with respect! Ms Cheryl W.

Had brunch at Cafe Muse in Royal Oak and it was such a great find…read more The place has a cozy, welcoming vibe and feels like a solid neighborhood brunch spot. When we arrived, it was somewhat crowded, but the energy was still relaxed and everything moved pretty smoothly. One thing that really stood out : the food tasted incredibly fresh and felt very thoughtfully prepared. Everything seemed made from scratch, which made the whole meal feel a lot more wholesome. Loved the avocado toast , simple but done really well. Also appreciated that they don't use seed oils, which is a nice touch if you're mindful about ingredients. Parking was pretty easy too, with street parking and paid lots nearby, so getting there wasn't a hassle. Overall, a really satisfying experience. Definitely planning to go back to try more from their menu next time.

Oak Diner - Royal Oak (Campbell Rd) Walking into Oak Diner…read morebrought back so many great memories. I used to live nearby about 25 years ago and remember coming to a diner in this area for breakfast back then. Fast forward to today--this isn't the same place, but wow, it's absolutely amazing. Right away I loved the vibe. The chalkboards with handwritten menu items and daily specials on the walls give the place so much character and charm. It feels welcoming, classic, and cool all at the same time. The customer service was excellent from start to finish--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. I ordered the country breakfast, which came with biscuits and gravy, eggs, toast, potatoes, and sausage--everything was spot on. I'm usually not a big hash browns person, so I really appreciated that they offer an alternative to the shredded style. I went with the cubed breakfast potatoes (not sure what they officially call them), and they were so much better--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Between the food, the service, and the overall atmosphere, this place completely won me over. I already know I'll be back next weekend. Oak Diner has a really, really good vibe, and I'm glad I rediscovered breakfast here. Highly recommend.

A surprisingly good spot hidden in the sea of Troy strip malls!…read moreWe went in here for Sunday brunch and it was hopping! They quoted us 30 minutes for the wait, but a table was available in less than 10 minutes. The servers were definitely hustling on this busy morning. We both selected Benedicts - my wife's was the French Benny (it was on a croiisant) and mine was The Black Sea (smoked salmon. I have no idea how they chose the name). We both thought our selections were quite tasty. We sat inside because it was cool out, but they had a spacious outdoor patio too, which looked nice (if you don't mind the sights and sounds of Rochester Road).

Located on a mall, there was plenty of complimentary parking spaces, a real plus in Royal Oak! The interior was sizable and quite cavernous. As it filled with diners, it got more and more difficult to hear members of our party. That said, it was sunlit bright and very clean. Our server, Anayla was absolutely the BEST: pleasant, patient, efficient and in the end..., provided separate checks! Though i only drank water (served without ice - Euro Style), my party ordered coffee and hot tea. Anayla must've known they would be draining their mugs over and over. Within minutes she returned with thermal pots for the pouring! I ordered the Smoked Salmon Fritata with a small arugula salad accompaniment. The salad was excellent - fresh and tasty. The frittata was nicely plated, with a dollop of sour cream in the middle. It a bit bland tasting to my palate. Payment is accepted via cash, credit or QR Code. All worked well for our group. Restroom was clean and stocked. I would definitely consider returning to First Watch again.

Other than that, the service and food were great. I go two of the summer specials and was satisfied with both. Very generous fruit bowl. So yes, I would go again. I will remember to stick to water for my beverage of choice

It basically looked…read morelike a pizza joint in a non-descript building wedged between a parking lot and 11 Mile Road - how good could it be? It could be 5 good! We sat outside by the parking lot, but they have a nice little area with big, comfortable tables. There's a QR code you can scan to see the whole menu, which was very handy, because the menu is huge! It took us a long time to scroll through the entire drink menu because there were so many choices! For dinner, we decided to get 12 inch pizza so we could try a bunch of different kinds. We thought that the barbecue chicken pizza was one of the best we've ever had! The pesto pizza was also outstanding!

Looking forward to my next time.
