    Country Boy Restaurant has some charming qualities, but there are a few things to be aware of. The building is very old, and while they do have a wheelchair-accessible parking spot, the lack of a wheelchair-accessible bathroom was a big drawback. This could make it difficult for some guests to fully enjoy their visit. On the positive side, the waitress was incredibly kind and attentive, which made the experience much better. The food was pretty good--classic comfort dishes done well. If accessibility isn't a concern, it's a cozy spot for a meal, but I hope they consider updating their facilities to be more accommodating for all guests.

    Pretty disappointed with my meal today. The fries were extremely soggy, and just judging by the ranch cup, you can guess why. They were microwaved in a styrofoam container with the ranch cups still in them. I wanted fries, not cancer.

    Food was great! Great portions, pre pandemic prices. A classic old American diner. The people were very accommodating and friendly.

    $16.88 for a soggy bun double bacon cheese burger fries and a coke... I couldn't eat it. It was a bad deal. I won't be back.

    But they're open 24 hours, so they're a hot spot for late night eats after the Ferndale bars close.

    This was a fantastic meal. I got the tasting menu which seems to be the right move considering they…read morerotate their menu every 3 weeks. The place is small and you can see the open kitchen pretty well. If i went back id ask for a table in the back so i could watch the kitchen the best. The food overall was spectacular, this must be the best restaurant in detroit. The radish carpaccio and the goat cheese bread were insane, so much flavor in every bite. All of the savory food was spectacular and the quality of the meats and the freshness of the veggies really shined through in every item. The service was top notch, every dish was well explained and my eating area was cleaned and silverware replaced whenever dirty. The speed of service was amazing, i eat quick and they brought my courses quickly while the group next to me was slower and they weren't rushed, clearly adjusted service for both our groups. I have two criticisms: 1. The chocolate cake dessert was lack luster and boring compared the rest of the menu. 2. I left hungry, the tasting menu was one entree or two smaller items short of the right amount of food. These criticisms are small and overall I had a spectacular experience. 4.7

    Skip to paragraph 5 if you only care about the food…read more I've been fortunate to eat at two different Michelin Starred restaurants. I have no doubt in my mind that Mabel Gray is 100% deserving of receiving one and having one next year. What a fantastic experience. Cool interior with the room on the right hosting the kitchen, seating bar, and some tables while the room on the left was dining only plus a non-seating bar. Table space was ample; a welcome change after dining in NYC at a restaurant where the table was barely big enough for the food. The menu changes every 2-3 weeks (recent trend has been 3 weeks) minus the oysters and steak frites which are always on it. My entire group opted for the tasting menu and I also did the beverage pairing. They do not tell you what is on the menu which I appreciated. What ensued was 7.5 courses, 6 different drinks, many silverware changes, and 4 extremely pleased individuals. I 100% recommend the tasting menu. Let Chef be in charge of your meal. Before getting into the courses, I want to highlight how attentive and special the service was. Our waitress was phenomenal. Extremely personable and even more knowledgable. She was detailing each of my wines and I was just nodding along trying to keep up lol. Empty plates sat for a minute tops (was more like 30 seconds) and she gave us all the attention without being hovery. Other serves came at various points as well to serve or clear dishes and they were all fine, but our main waitress was excellent. For that alone, this is worthy of a michelin star. Truly, service is half the battle and she nailed it. Now, onto the food. The tasting menu is $92 and features 7-8 courses. I'm calling it 7.5 (you'll understand why). 6 of the courses appeared on the menu. 1.5 of them were off menu and 3 of them were different than what it was earlier in the cycle of the menu (had friends go and a few of their courses were different than ours). I appreciate that a lot. Course 1 was oysters two ways; raw with a green garlic mignotte and baked with a miso chile butter and topped with panko. Fantastic. Before this, I would not call myself an oyster guy. After this, I want all the oysters. The panko one was so good that we ordered more. 10/10 The first beverage was a 100% pinot grape champagne. Very good. Course 2 was the egg salad on grilled crispellis sourdough toast. Again, maybe I'm an egg salad guy now because this was delicious. Crispellis sourdough is goated. This seems like a simple dish, but it was executed perfectly and tastes better than it sounds. 9/10 The beverage was a chenin blanc. Very good. Course 3 was ham bone soup with beans and ricotta. We were informed this was the only day the soup was being featured which I thought was cool. Very good soup. Again, tastes better than it sounds. 9/10. The third wine was an orange pinot grigio which I thought was great. Course 4 was a scallop and capacola (gabagool) spiedini (skewer). Picture bacon wrapped shrimp. Think about how good that tastes. And then 10x that and this is the result. What a dish. So good we ordered another. Everything about this worked. The garlic sauce. The raisins. Yes, raisins. Wow. What a dish. 2nd favorite of the night. 10/10. I didn't quite catch the wine for this but it was a cherry sorla??? It was good; not my favorite. Course 5 was a lamb neck quesadilla. I'm a little torn on this one. Unfortunately, the amount of meat in this was somewhat lacking. The several bites I had with meat were a 10/10. Think a barbacoa type of meat. Perfectly rich and tender. The rest of the bites were still good, but the lack of meat made it more like an 8.5/10. Greatest what if of the night. The wine was a baja blend (red) from Mexico. This was tart, but worked quite well with the dish. Course 5.5 was sorbet. A raspberry sorbet palette cleanse before the final non dessert dish. Actually very good flavor. No rating but I like it. Course 6.5 was Texas quail with a Waygu dumpling over coconut curry. Wow. This was amazing. This was the only item not on the menu. My first time having quail did not disappoint. Crispy. Salty. Perfectly cooked. The quail was on another level. The dumpling was very good as well. Not as good as the quail but nothing would have been. The curry rocked. Not spicy; great flavor. Excellent dish. 11/10. The wine was a rose champagne which I enjoyed probably the most of all the wines. A Michelin star course. Course 7.5 was a cornmeal cake with some whipped cream and strawberries as well as some crushed nuts. On its own, the cake was fine. Combined with everything, it was excellent and a great end to a wonderful dinner. 9/10. The final drink was a strawberry vermouth which complimented the cake very well. Mabel Gray is worth all the praise it consistently receives. Thank you for a fantastic evening.

Since…read moreneither of us had been to Barrel House before, we thought we'd give it a try--and we're so glad we did. We entered through the back entrance and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. We quickly found a table for two, and our server was attentive from the start, bringing water right away, answering our questions, and walking us through the wine and beer selections. My wife ordered the Beet & Salmon Salad, while I chose the Crispy Chicken Club with white cheddar and house-smoked bacon. The sandwich was absolutely incredible--hands down the best crispy chicken club I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the combination of flavors was outstanding. I also stole a few bites of my wife's salad and was pleasantly surprised by the yellow beets. I'd only ever had red beets before, and both varieties were prepared beautifully. The salmon was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with the fresh ingredients. Between the excellent food, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service, this turned out to be one of the best impromptu dinner dates we've had in quite some time. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and are already looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu. Highly Recommend!

The sandwich originated in Chicago, so I like that Matt & Mo's has a replica of Wrigley Field's ivy wall. On the flip side, I didn't like being charged a 4% fee for paying with a card. My wife ordered a pepperoni pizza puff along with French fries. The pizza puff fell apart too easily, and was basically a larger version of a Totino's pizza roll. The fries were standard. With my sandwich, I ordered poutine. The consistency and flavor of the gravy made the poutine much better than average. As for the Italian beef, it did not disappoint. I regret getting just sweet peppers, as I should have gotten either hot or mild peppers with the sweet. I did get the whole sandwich dipped in au jus, which was the right move. This was my first time having an Italian beef, so it's hard to judge, but I definitely enjoyed it. Next time, I will bring cash to pay, and might even try some of the other menu items. I look forward to trying Doug's Delight, as well.
