Tucked in the Chrysler building is the Dime Store restaurant, this is a small establishment with about 20-ish tables and bar seating. Entrance is through the Chrysler building. I must mention there is ample street or structure parking in the area. Dine Store is casual feels with BIG flavors! Plus the Staff were friendly and welcoming. At our table, we started with Chai Lattes. They offer milk alternatives-Yaay! The Chai was good sprinkled with cinnamon and steaming hot. It could have used a bit more chai, which I'm sure they would have supplied but it was good that I sipped away. To note, they do offer cocktails and beers, as not all brunch places do. We tried the Mushroom and Goat cheese Omelette and a Build your Own omelette. Our table was pleased as the omelettes may appear 'small' but don't let that fool you, they were packed with flavor. Also, the dishes were made to order. The cubed potatoes were delicious along with the Zingerman's Toast with strawberry jam. Oh yes, we also got a side of the chicken sausage and no disappointments. Everything was cooked to perfection. I must point out that the ingredients were fresh, we could taste the difference with the farm to table ingredients and the potatoes and omelettes were not greasy at all! Can't wait to visit again-recommended!

We dined indoors, but outdoor seating is available. The inside retains some of its old timey look; complete with metal steam hot radiators. The room is open; even cavernous. Bright, fresh clean. Loved the fresh wild flowers in tiny table vases! The time of morning was early enough that there was still plenty of seating. Kadie, our bubbly, knowledgeable server took the orders and remembered the additions and deletions my party requested. My companion raved about the fresh off the griddle, large, hot pancake received along with extra butter and REAL maple syrup. Indeed, i tried a bite, and it was light, fluffy and oh so delicious. I asked for the Egg and Pimento Cheese sandwich. The large sausage patty tucked into the sandwich was very flavorful. It was an excellent choice! Price point here is entirely reasonable given the quality of the food. Recommended.

The interior does look nice, they updated it a lot but still kept some of the wood features from before, which I liked. That said, the service and overall customer experience definitely needs improvement. We stood in the lobby for quite a while with no clear direction. It wasn't obvious whether we were supposed to wait somewhere specific or if a hostess was coming, so there was a lot of confusion until someone finally let us know there was a wait. Once we were seated, it also took a long time for our waitress to come over. By the time she did, we'd already had plenty of time to look over the menu and knew exactly what we wanted. When I asked a few questions while placing my order, she seemed a bit irritated, which didn't feel very welcoming. As for the food, everything on the menu felt overpriced for the quality and portion sizes. We ordered a variety of items to try different things. The cinnamon sweet potato pancakes were definitely the standout, they were really good. The grits bowl was good, However, the biscuits and gravy were disappointing. It was just one biscuit for $6, no meat at all, and the gravy tasted a bit off. Overall, the pricing for breakfast felt steep, and I was honestly a little taken aback by it. The mimosas were delicious, but again, not quite worth the price point for me. Nothing I had really stood out enough to make me feel like I have to come back for it, which was disappointing because I wanted to love this place. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, so I might give it another try to see what the hype is about, but as of now, it was just okay. Solid three stars.

Thankfully, there wasn't much of a wait, but your entire party needs to be present before being seated. I ordered the Ultimate Catdaddy and was happy with my food. I recommend ordering under the section "Elevated Grits N Shyt" because the catfish and ultimate shrimp n grits are the stars of the menu. Everything was delicious with large portions that I took home leftovers. My friend was not as satisfied with her ACTBAD skillet. I took a bite and thought it was a bit salty. She said that there were parts of the skillet that were cold. When she asked if it could be warmed up, she was told that the restaurant did not have a microwave (??) but that they could give her a new dish. My friend decided to keep it, but it should not have been a problem to take her skillet and reheat it on the stovetop. I would not recommend ordering the ACTBAD. As I said above, stick to the catfish and grits.

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.

By the time we walked out, every table was taken and there were a few people waiting out the door. I got the kimchi patatas bravas and they were good, but maybe not quite as flavorful or spicy as I hoped they'd be. I only had a tea as a drink but would love to check out their cocktails next time. Overall a solid spot that I'd visit again, but it didn't quite blow me away.

Of course, I arrived ridiculously early for our reservation since I always worry about parking. I…read moreparked farther away just to be assured of a spot. I need not have worried; there was parking closer by. Oh well. The restaurant is tiny. And it maximizes the space by lining its walls with colorful bottles of wine, chic and cher containers of olive oil, and pots of artisanal honey hiding here and there. My friend pointed out the breathtakingly beautiful bouquet of dried flowers hanging over our table. I should have taken a photo when I had the chance. I started with the spiced brown sugar latte, made with oat milk. Delicious and sweeter than I thought. Even though the menu is small and curated, I could not decide between the nosh plate, the biscuit brekkie, or the quiche, which was the special of the day. So I ended up with the quiche but added the biscuit and bacon - I did not want to miss out. The crust of the quiche was fine, but the custard-like filling was divine, more like a savory crème brûlée or flan. Service was quick and efficient. Our reservation was made for one of the predefined 90-minute blocks, so the staff was on top of getting and delivering our meals and bussing tables as soon as they emptied to make room for the next group of guests.

After spending time…read morewalking around, I saw that Farmer Franks was serving breakfast, and it's exactly what I needed. Walking in, there was plenty of seating and people eating breakfast here on a nice Saturday morning. I reviewed the menu and had questions about a few of their dishes. I decided to go with the breakfast burrito with chicken instead of chrizo which they happily subsituted. The portion was large, and it was more than enough food for me to feel full afterwards. (not all breakfast sandwiches are made equal, let me tell you.) Their prices are sort of expensive, and closer to $20 a person. I did have to ask a few times for extra napkins, water had barely any ice in it, and they charge a 3% upcharge if running your card. I enjoyed my time here but I do feel like their prices are a bit high for what they're serving. Overall a reliable breakfast and lunch place if you don't want to leave the market.
