They were juicy and meaty with great flavor. No sauces needed but added a little to try it out. Drinks are cheap and don't forget, in Michigan you can bartend at 17 years old.

However, the service is the worst we've ever experienced, and this was a non-busy Wednesday evening. We waited an hour and a half for our food to arrive after ordering. And salads came out after the food arrived. Our server had no idea what beers or bourbon they had and had to keep running to the bar with questions. The liquor selection is lacking. It took a long time for cocktails to arrive and 30 minutes for the fried pickles appetizer to show up. Generally just a nightmare. The food is great but we won't be back.

I also couldn't resist trying a slice of their Detroit-style deep dish pepperoni, and it was just as delicious. The vibe is great--full of locals, quirky art, and a staff that is both friendly and hilarious. Their bar is well-stocked with a solid wine and beer selection (they had Two Hearted Ale on tap, so I was a happy camper). Whether you're grabbing a full pie or just a quick slice and a drink, I highly recommend checking this spot out!
