    I would absolutely recommend this business to anyone near the 8 mile area to try the food here, the customer service is GREAT!!

    Yum yum yum. Lefty's cheesesteaks so gooooodddd. I used to hate cheesesteaks. Maybe the schools cafeteria ruined it for me. So I always avoided cheesesteaks until I became a major foodie and wanted to retry foods, trying to force myself to maybe like it! I was a little traumatized. Oh how I've been missing out on the cheesesteaks thoughhhh. It's okay. We met again and I love it! This place, so good. I know it's a chain. I haven't been to the original place but this location is the closest for me though it's still a little out of my way, it's okay! Can't complain. I got takeout here and it was fairly fast. Service was awesome. The cashier and the cook was super cool. There's still so much I have to try! I WANT EVERYTHING. Also, extra hot pepper is a must! Or ask for some of the side and smear it inside of your sandwich since they mainly just put it on the outside. I love peppers. I need to dine in and eat it fresh one day. Pretty big place and parking is easy. Though this place is on Woodward, even if you miss the first entrance, there's still a bunch of other entrances you can go to to get to this place since meijer is right there. Till we meet again!

    While I had never heard of this place it was recommended by a friend so I figured let's give them a shot and see what they have. I was a little underwhelmed by the customer service I received. I mentioned to the cashier that I've never been here and didn't know what I wanted. A little suggestive selling would've been nice so that I could know what you were famous for. The sandwich I got was OK. No bells, no whistle's, nothing fancy... just OK. Being that this place is close to home I greatly would love to love them however it's just OK. Maybe if I came on another day, at another time, I might get the magical experience that my friend had it fell flat for me.

    New Items! All so delicious! South Paw wedges, BBQ Banger, Grim Reaper
    Dazzmin D.

    We sure did enjoy this food and the newest monthly items added to their menu were more than beyond words exquisitely delicious We had the opportunity to review these items: BBQ Banger Southpaw wedges The Grim Reaper Lefty's Sliders Which you can order by Grubhub and DoorDash We were pleased to learn that Sam Berry, the founder and owner, is actually left-handed! Not to mention he is a strong survivor of cancer He actually had always thought that he struggled in a right handed world, so he made Lefty's, to bring awareness to left handed people to celebrate in creativity! He gets his success and experience from his past days of working as a franchisee of three different brands. Sam was always frustrated because he didn't have the freedom to create his own types of food styles and changes. That's why he created Lefty's in his own style of food, that he thought of outside of the bun Lefty's has been established for over ten years! So far they've got 30 locations Their slogan is "The hottest franchise in America!" Since of course, Lefty's is one of the worlds fastest growing franchises in Michigan and with good reason of course. They are soon seeking to expand world wide and internationally. So far in the Greater Detroit area there is 27 locations. Lefty's is opening a bunch of new locations, including one that we are very excited about... The Foodsquadders hometown, West Bloomfield! We're excited to announce we'll be attending and hosting at the grand opening! Keep notifications on our posts on for when we have a date! We're so excited we'll have a Lefty's right in our neighborhood!

    Having lived in Philly, I keep giving Lefty's a chance but unfortunately this will be the last straw. If you really want a cheesesteak, go elsewhere. Otherwise you'll end up with a very sad hot dog bun and a thin, pasty layer of meat. The fact that this abomination is worth $12 is absurd. Never again...

    Was in town for a small road trip and decided to check the place out. Very glad I did. Very friendly staff, service was quick and the food was delicious! You won't regret coming here!

    My experience with the 12 " Southpaw was amazing. I went with my wife and friends from Chicago .they loved the food and the crew was very friendly.

    I am a huge Leftys fan. I have been to coming to them for at least 3 years now and it's really cool to see how much they've grown. It is definitely my go to cheesesteak spot in Michigan. I don't usually eat many sandwiches, but I find myself craving leftys all of the time. The cheesesteak is my favorite thing on the menu... actually the Southpaw Cheesesteak. It has white cheese, steak, cheese whiz and crushed hot Cheetos. This sandwich is addicting!!! Next on the menu I love the corned beef eggs rolls. They're the type of special restaurant snack you can't really find anywhere. Loaded fries, loaded tots and corned beef sandwiches are all so tasty as well. What impresses me most about the different locations is the consistency in the food. Which ever Leftys location you go to, you're sure to have the same quality and care going into your meal. That's why they're one of my favorite restaurants in Michigan.

Which is okay if that's not what you want! I have no issue with the service and everybody was pretty cool. The waitress was super friendly, especially when I couldn't make up my mind because there are so many options lol. It's tree pockets so you have to park on Michigan Ave but there is plenty of it. Depending on what kind of day or night it is though. But just be aware you have to pay for parking. Seasoned fries - the fries come very seasoned and super crispy. You get a ton of them as well. You may not even need ketchup actually. French onion - this burger was good. Came with some onion rings kinda on the side. It was cooked medium and they got it pretty right with the temp. The cheese was melted well and it was seasoned pretty good also. Blt - this was a good BLT and it was very stacked. I'm not sure if you can make it out from the picture but it had plenty of everything on here. The bacon tasted great. Tots - they came out really hot and super crispy and actually gave you a heck of a lot of them too so that definitely helped but these are really good and you didn't even need ketchup.

We also tried their mini churros which may be the cities best cheap it. $1 per mini churro which honestly aren't even that mini is a screaming deal that everyone should know about. They were hot, flavorful and the hint of orange was a lovely addition. Had we not been stuffed I would've ordered more, do not skip on this.

I went with a burger with muenster cheese with an egg on top along with their coleslaw instead of fries. The coleslaw was actually really good! (not all coleslaws created equal. Let me tell you about it!) My food did take a while to come out but it was quite delicious. I forgot they have water jugs at the table and I could've gone without the sprite, but it was a throwback bottle in the glass bottles and I couldn't resist. I know they have the benches to encourage community and getting to know other people outside of your party, but sitting there makes my butt and back sore after a while. Place is clean and well organized which I loved, and it's in the district so you're a stones throw from the ballpark. Overall a fabulous experience and worth stopping by on a very hot July afternoon.

    Wow... what a BEAUTIFUL restaurant. At first glance, as I…read morearrived at valet, I was genuinely proud to see this Black-owned brick-and-mortar in person for the first time. Unfortunately, I did not anticipate that it would also be the last. The valet attendant was attentive and professional, and the host staff greeted me as I walked in. So far, so good! The bar wasn't busy, but I figured it was still kind of early and things could liven up. I was meeting friends for a birthday toast, and they were already seated at the bar. When I approached, we were very excited to see one another, so naturally, we took a moment to catch up. I noticed there was one bartender in the service well who was busy making drinks and therefore understandably unable to greet me. There was another bartender conversing with patrons standing next to my barstool and another bartender on the far end. Now, as someone with a background in food & beverage, I naturally exercise patience in casual dining atmospheres because service can be a little laxed--which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm not expecting the bartender to teleport across the room because I walked in. However, in this case, after greeting my friends, we wanted to do a round of shots in honor of the birthday girl. After several minutes, we still had not been approached by a bartender. Not to mention, the bartender conversing just to my right was STILL carrying on with the same gentlemen patrons. After a continued wait, the birthday girl decided to flag down the bartender, who acknowledged us with eye contact... ...and then continued her conversation. Ma'am. That was very unprofessional, but we were in such great spirits that we decided to overlook it and try to get the attention of a different bartender. Now, hindsight being 20/20, we should've left right then. This same bartender, standing not even 3 feet away from us, eventually finished her conversation and walked away. She actually ended up standing at the service well in plain sight of us, where she then pulled out her cellphone to devote some obviously much-needed quality screen time. We were in utter shock. Within a few moments, the bartender originally on the far end of the bar had made her way to our side to take a new set of patrons' order who had just appeared to my right. Once again, the birthday girl calls out and asks if it would be possible for her to assist us when she was done. To our dismay, the lady looks at us with absolutely ZERO emotion and simply states, "Yea." Not exactly the response we expected, but hey... it's Detroit. We are natives, although I no longer live locally, so we know customer service isn't necessarily the city's strongest suit. ‍ After Ms. Dead Emotions prepared drinks for the new set of patrons, she followed suit with the previous bartender and walked over to the service well for some R&R with Screen Time Girl. And THAT was the moment we realized these bartenders did not come to work... They came to clock in. At this point, I decided to ask for a manager. The nice woman I approached asked me what it was regarding, and I explained what we had experienced and told her it was disappointing, to say the least. She seemed rational and understanding and offered to send a waitress to the bar to serve us. I thanked her and went back to my seat. It was obvious that the bartenders had been made aware of my grievances because their demeanors and facial expressions suddenly had a LOT to say. At that point, we realized training, support, and customer service may be an unrecognized area of opportunity by upper management. The server was busy with tables but eventually made her way over. She seemed very nice. However, by that point, we had decided we would leave. As we sat there conversing about this unbelievable experience and discussing other bars we could go to instead, a few patrons walked up to our side of the bar to introduce themselves and ask about our plans and whether we would stick around to have a drink with them. When we informed them we were leaving, they asked why. We gave them the short version as we prepared to leave. Sadly, they weren't surprised--but they offered AGAIN to make it right. Imagine customers offering to make it right. ‍ Just before leaving, one of our group stepped away to the restroom. At that point, Screen Time finally walked up and, exasperatedly, asked if we wanted anything. IKYFL. The birthday girl, who is sweet-natured, was understandably disappointed, so I decided, you know what? We'll take a shot for the road. A simple Don Julio Repo shot took longer than it should have... ...but the bill came IMMEDIATELY. And, of course, an automatic 20% gratuity was the cherry on top. At this point, all I could do was laugh. Beautiful restaurant. Great first impression. Unfortunately, the actual experience was a completely different story. WE WILL NOT BE BACK.
