I spent some time looking for something to eat for breakfast at the airport. Coffee shop: muffins. Coffee shop: bagels and muffins. McDonalds: well, you know what they have. I walked right by Hockeytown Cafe, thinking, "It's 7:45 in the morning: I don't want a beer." But, I came back because I saw people eating. Was it just bar food, or did they have breakfast? They did! Omelets, hash browns, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast wraps, with choices of bacon, sausage, and different cheeses. Best of all, the food is freshly prepared. And, it's fast: they know you have a flight to catch. My breakfast wrap was bacon and cheddar, with fluffy (but under salted) eggs and a fair amount of bacon and cheese. There's a lot of food here for $9 (for an airport, the price isn't bad). I could have split it with someone and both of us would have been satisfied....but it was so good that I ate the whole thing. I got a Bloody Mary (yeah, I remember what I said about not wanting a beer, but this is different because it's breakfast...right?) which was more like tomato juice: not at all spicy. Another $9...again, not bad for airport prices. Not bad, Hockeytown Cafe. Not bad. read more

Hockey Town Cafe - A substantial, freshly made breakfast wrap with fluffy but under seasoned eggs, bacon, and cheese. Enough to share, but you won't want to. - New American Near Me - Romulus, Michigan

It was the only decent place to get some beer and food in that area of DTW close to our departure gate so we found a good spot and ordered. I was impressed with the PATTY MELT. It was a basic sandwich but it was super tasty and not salty at all. It was sinfully good with all the buttery taste. Paired with deep fried onion rings,everything was good but definitely unhealthy.The serving was good for 2 non-big eaters. The lady staff was attentive and fast. Worth the try! read more

I didn't come here with high expectations.... I came here wanting a drink and a snack before my flight, and given that the entire theme of my trip to Detroit was celebrating the last couple of games at the JLA, HockeyTown Cafe seemed fitting. My cider was only $6.50, which is pretty good for a bottle in an airport. The hubby got a pint of Blue Moon and it was $10.25, but after paying concession stand beer prices all weekend that didn't seem too outrageous. We also got an order of Olympia Nachos, which were standard mass-produced tortilla chips covered in what I assume was a crumbled up hamburger instead of ground beef, along with the usual toppings - cheese, tomato, jalapenos, salsa. It wasn't gourmet by any means but it paired well with the drinks, and we left the bar ready to spend the next 2 hours on a plane. read more

Worst Bloody Mary I've ever had. It's like drinking spaghettios I see why it's so easy to find a seat here. Don't bother wasting your money. What a sad impression of Detroit this must leave. Step up your game Hockeytown! read more

Mixed report on this visit to the airport version of the Detroit icon. Service was quick and just attentive enough. Prices were surprisingly reasonable & the beer I chose, Latitude 42's I.P. Eh was perfect. The wings, called "Red Wings" were highly disappointing. Dry and overcooked, the hot sauce made them edible. They certainly didn't live up to their name, but then ... the Wings did miss the playoffs. read more

Hockey Town Cafe - New American Near Me - Romulus, Michigan

The service is by far the worst I've ever received anywhere. The food is overpriced an rather disappointing. It saddens me this restaurant is located in a key location to service venues; and I'm sure this is the only reason it's still Open. I'll eat elsewhere when downtown or before arriving for an event. read more

Nothing fancy, fried food and basic drinks. However it's a required stop to mark off my preflight Bloody Mary. The food is your basic fried food, I'd skip it unless I was staving. I've eaten here before it was bad just basic. It's a nice place to stop have a drink and check old the red wing photos painting the walls. Probably the coolest thing this place has to offer. read more

Hockey Town Cafe - Preflight, Check - New American Near Me - Romulus, Michigan

Very quaint place in DTW. Not a bad place to grab some food and a drink and maybe catch something on TV to pass the time. Staff was very nice and pleasant. Food: I got the Reuben. Really wasn't impressed by it; it was a standard affair. But hey, I'm in an airport. I'm looking for food cause I'm hungry and I want something decent that isn't McD's. read more

Needed to grab a quick bite & drink before a flight so we ducked in here due to it's proximity to our gate. Big mistake. First glance around the restaurant should have been warning enough- it was filthy. Dirty tables, some with discarded meals still. Not one table looked clean and organized. We choose a high top that had crumbs everywhere and a discarded condiment lid still on it, it was our best option. There was a pile of dirty glasses and empty beer glasses at corner of the bar, too. I heard one employee yelling about trash needing to be emptied. Our server was very nice and personable. Not sure if she was only one for the whole restaurant or not. It did take a little for her to get to our table, there was only 3 other tables in the place. Took our drink and food order at her first visit and everything came out at a decent pace. The drink options are fine, nothing super impressive. Friend got a double bloody Mary ( for $17, ridiculous) and couldn't even taste booze. I got beer because, it's a safe bet lol but still expensive. I order nachos, so hugely disappointed. They were pathetic. Pile of chips with lettuce and jalapeno tossed on top. ONE chip was completely covered in cheese and meat... That's it. A handful of others has a piece of cheese. Salsa and sour cream came in tiny cups w lids. Like, I could have gotten better at a gas station. Another friend got a quesadilla. Tiny and not exciting looking, but she said it tasted okay. Two friends split turkey burger and fries... Said it was okay. Nothing exciting. I would recommend skipping this place, as food isn't good, drinks are way expensive, and it isn't clean! read more

We sat down, were given our drinks only to be told after getting the drinks that the waitresses are working the kitchen so there likely wouldn't be food. We were tempted to leave the drinks and go but then we were told that they could try to make our food. We decided to stay because we were so hungry and had drinks in front of us. Appetizers, salads, and entrees were being served on PLASTIC PLATES. Wine glasses were not fully clean when we received them. There is no hockey on at this Hockeytown. This place is pretty pathetic. Still in the throes of our service currently, might have more updates as this continues. UPDATE: Plastic forks and knives! It's a regular ol' BBQ over here. "No tomatoes, we're out of that but I added onions instead". UPDATE UPDATE: We actually had to pay full price for this bull crap! Shocker! Will not be returning and will steer everyone we can away. read more

Does Hockey Town know they have an impostor at DTW? Well they should, because it gives the real establishment a bad name. We stopped in for some lunch/dinner before our flight to Colorado and posted up at the bar. While the bartender was friendly and attentive I cannot look past food quality and the prices. First off, why do they not have beer and liquor prices on the menu? I feel like that's really deceiving. They don't have many draft options, but I was able to find something I liked and got the 22oz. So, that was good. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. Lukewarm, sad dip of a 1/2 cup portion in some plastic container alongside stale bagged chips. For $9 people...$9. I know airport food and drinks are on the expensive side, but there's way too much competition to justify eating here. read more

Burgers were great. But the chicken strips, I couldn't even eat them. They were old and rubbery. The color was a grey brown. Maybe fresher chicken strips and new oil in the fryer? Should have ordered the delicious burger.... It cant be beat! Thank you! read more

Flies and other flying insects are everywhere. My food was served with insects literally crawling on it and this was treated as normal. There are fingerprints on the glassware. Although there are TV screens, and this is an ostensibly a Redwings focused bar, the screens are all playing a screensaver of classic rock song titles that are not at all audible. The beer is drinkable and that alone makes it superior to waiting at the gate, but if I had any other option at all I wouldn't be here. There is a fly crawling on my phone as I write this. It is very distracting. read more

Huge mistake eating here! I wanted a quiet bar/ restaurant to grab a beer and a bite to eat. This was the least busiest restaurant at DTW airport so I decided to sit down. After I ate the slop they served i understand why they were slow. I ordered the beef nachos that were served with the bottom of the bag of chips that were all broken and crumbs. The quality of these nachos were less quality than you would actually get at a Red Wing game. Truly was disappointing and I'm amazed they're able to stay open. Go anywhere else at the airport to eat besides here. read more

Hockey Town Cafe - Crumb nachos - New American Near Me - Romulus, Michigan

I ate here once and the service was terrible. I sat at the bar and the bartender ignored me for quite awhile. When he finally helped me he told me they only had a couple options (chicken tenders and something else) so I ordered the chicken tenders. I then overheard him talking to the waitress a few minutes later about how he just didn't want to deal with serving other things so he was telling people they didn't have it. He also was not allowing anyone to order at a certain point because they were closing in an hour (yes, an hour) and he was trying to close early. Mind you, I think they close at 8 or 9 pm so it's not like it's a late night for them. There was a full restaurant and he was limiting orders and then just not taking them. Would not reccomend read more

I'm a Redwings fan so I went in to eat. Service was good food was horrible. Got the sliders. They were dry. Menu said the had caramelized onion there were none on them. Sent them back and they were-returned with two strands of caramelized onion. Buns were smashed. Go to McDonald's next door instead. read more

Walked in for lunch and some beers. Grabbed stools at the bar and were greeted with drink and food menus. 24oz Two Hearted for $6 was a damn good deal. Most appetizers are $7-9 and we ordered 3: Honey BBQ wings, mac&cheese bites, chicken tenders with fries. All three arrived hot and fresh from the kitchen, each was darn tasty for standard bar fare. Bar tender was attentive and and a little chatty. Only disappointing moment was when we were leaving, stood at gift shop counter for 10min with no one stopping to ask if we wanted to see/purchase anything, which we did. read more

Stopped in for a couple drinks before my flight. Quite busy, but the girl behind the counter was very efficient and was very attentive. Biggest complaint was they charged $2.25 for "rocks pour" when I ordered my Makers on the rocks-is that normal? read more

Hockey Town Cafe - $2.25 for "rocks pour"?!?!?! - New American Near Me - Romulus, Michigan

Stopped in for a quick breakfast in the morning. Service was lackluster, the server was more interested in gossiping with coworkers and complaining about management and other co workers than doing their job. Food was very mediocre, the server mentioned the cook had no idea how to make breakfast. The food was also all served on plastic plates and with plastic utensils, not what I expected of a sit down restaurant. They didn't have milk, orange juice came in single serve bottles, just low quality all around. I tried to cash out and an employee to wait for a different server, I waited another 15 minutes and at the end when leaving I had to step between two employees to get cashed out. Next time I'm going through DTW I'll go somewhere else. read more

Go to Champs a few gates down. Hockeytown burgers are pucks on kaiser (at least change to brioche, add some mayo or aioli)music is Rob Zombie, servers more interested in closing tabs before next shift than customer experience and lastly it's got a sad vibe. (Ok last two songs were ok, but they have a bad/angry music list overall). Onion rings were awesome, however. read more

I went here wanting to grab a quick bite while waiting for my flight and was disappointed. I ordered the build your own burger. All I asked for no onions or tomatoes. It took over 25 minutes to get my order and of course it came with onion and tomatoes on it... The burger was dry, overcooked and the lettuce was sad. Plus the fries were under cooked. Anyways, my $23 bill was not worth a bad burger and an overpriced beer. read more
