This place is amazing! There's a ton of food options nearby but FB stands out. We stopped in after…read morevisiting another restaurant unsatisfied. The burgers and atmosphere drew us in. We went with a basic (honestly anything but) burger with bacon, sweet chili mayo and shoestring fries on top. It was one of the best things I ate all weekend. With a limited time in Detroit I even considered going back for a second time. 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. If you haven't been to Frita Batidos yet and you're wondering if it's worth it I highly recommend checking it out. Food was amazing, restaurant was clean, staff was friendly, there honestly wasn't a single miss here!

I've been to the location in Ann Arbor and have wanted to come to this location for some time now…read more Since I was already downtown for an event, I drove a few miles to get here and it was worth it. It's obviously just like the Ann Arbor location but substantially less busy (thank goodness.) I walked in and it's a smaller version of what I'm used to. Menu is up on the wall and the two gentleman at the counter were friendly and helped me place my order. 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.

The place is located in a great place. Parking is alittle touch with being in the city but you can…read moreeither do street parking or find a parking lot. The place and decor is in a nice building that is cozy and well lit. We came here on a Thursday during lunch. We got seated right away. We looked at the menu and drinks. The waitress was super nice and friendly. She gave us a good recommendation for an alcoholic beverage. We looked over the menu and had no questions. My friend and I ordered the chicken and waffles and fried chicken since she wanted some side. The chicken and waffles were alright. The waffle looked more like a pancake on how flat it was. The chicken was fried great but did not have much flavor to the batter. My friend's fried chicken was the same and the ochra and rice with bean were mediocre. Some negative were that our drinks took over 30 minutes to get. Also, we had brought some bottles of water in since we were walking in the city. The waitress saw we had the bottles of water and stated "i guess you do not need any water since you brought your own." I felt that was a little judgemental and not called for. Would u go back to this restaurant for some southern food? I have had better. They did have some other things I would wanna try. But this place does not compare to just travelling down south and getting my fix.

We sat at the bar to speed the food along because we were hungry. The bartender, Tristan, was nice and accommodating. I had the Fried Chicken BLT. Ya'll! This was an excellent sandwich. The tomato and lettuce was so fresh and the chicken was so well seasoned. It was absolutely delicious. The perfect sandwich. I'd go back for another one right now but will definitely be returning to this restaurant for that sandwich next time I'm in Detroit.

Upon entry, I knew I made the right decision. I was greeted immediately after entering. I was happily surprised to see the number of food and beverage options available as I waited to place my order. While waiting for my order, I even noticed the cleanliness and how the staff interacted with their regular customers. Everything I ordered was delicious. The brisket and queso effin grits though were !!! I was able to briefly chat with the owner's sister before leaving and promised to share a review. I will definitely be visiting again now that I know about them.

OMG- I lived in the metro- Detroit area for 15 years and never turned on this street ever. I wanted…read moreto try a restaurant that I had not been to and saw this one on FB and decided to do something different. I have never been so disappointed in a restaurant before. First, the restaurant is up two flights of steps and there is no elevator. I injured my knee and walked up the stairs. Second, when I was seated and shown the menu, I was shocked at the very limited options. They only offer white- meat chicken, no rice or plain sides. I was going to try the greens but the server said they put vinegar on them which I don't care for. The Brussels sprouts with corn is a hard pass. I had no other choice but ordered something that I would never put together as a meal: fried catfish, sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with corn. The fish was fried hard and needed seasoning and the sprouts were forgettable. They brought out hot sauce on the side assuming all people want hot/ spicy food. I wanted tartar sauce and they didn't have a traditional sauce- they had a " Cajun- style sauce." My friend had a crab cake for $25. When I called about parking, the hostess mentioned the cash lot behind the restaurant and.a parking structure across the street. She didn't mention that it was extremely expensive, I paid $24.49 for 1 hour and 6 minutes in the structure. Oh, I almost forgot that they added a 20% gratuity automatically for a party of 2! So, overall, my catfish dinner, 1 crab cake appetizer, and $2 up charge for the Brussels brought my bill to $74. Plus, the $24.49 for parking was a $100 night with no liquor only to have to leave and go eat elsewhere as what I wasted money on left me hungry and unsatisfied for sure.

Unfortunately, I decided not to order anything because of the way we were treated. When we arrived,…read morethe restaurant was moderately busy and understaffed. We stood in line waiting but the employee never acknowledged us, greeted us or explained who was being served. We waited a while and then asked if we could place an order. He went off about being understaffed and contacted the owners let them know. When we tried to understand what was going on, he responded with an unnecessarily slick and dismissive attitude, saying, "I've got this person, I've got that person, I've got this." We had just walked in, we had no way of knowing who he was helping or how the line was being handled because he had not communicated anything to us. I understand that working alone can be stressful but customers should still be acknowledged and spoken to respectfully. His attitude went too far and made the entire interaction uncomfortable so I chose to leave without ordering. My friend order online. Vegan patty it was okay. The cauliflower was cold but good. Ambiance was cool, clean and decent music.

Their sign is easy to see as you drive by, but my friend did give me a heads up that their door was not obvious. You need to walk through a fence and then open a non deacript door. The artwork outside is awesome! When we walked in we received a friendly greeting and were quickly shown to our seats. We had made a reservation ahead of time and there was no delay to seat us upon our arrival. Our server was friendly and took our drink orders right away. I appreciated that they had multiple non alcoholic drinks and at a fair price. I started with the Thai Iced tea which was delicious, but I would have loved a glass 2x the size! We ordered multiple dishes to share amongst us. I did ask the server how many dishes they recommended that we order as I wasn't sure of the size. The items are brought out as they are made, so we had food being dropped off to is at random intervals. The only slight issue we experienced was when someone else tried to bring a plate of squid to our table. We let them know that we had not ordered it. They then went and talked to our server, who brought the squid back to our table. We also let them know that we had not ordered that dish. Our server did bring back our order slip and looked it over, and I believe at that point they realized that we really had not ordered that dish and just weren't rejecting it. I am not sure if it had been written wrong, communicated to the kitchen wrong, or what but we did have to state multiple times that we had not ordered it. The rest of our dishes arrived correctly. The crispy chive cakes were great, and the sticky spare ribs were AMAZING. The caramel glaze on the outside of the ribs was so good, and they were tender as well. The outside was super crispy. I would absolutely ordered these again. I would say that both of those dishes were only for 2 people. The sticky rice and jasmine rice were as to be expected, and I personally felt that the papaya salad was not as good as others I have had. The chilli noodles had an amazing broth and I would also recommend. Overall, I did enjoy our dinner but I am not sure that I would go out of my way to return. I am rounding up to 4 stars based on the sticly ribs alone, otherwise a 3.5 would be more fair. I have been hearing about Takoi for years, so maybe my epxections were too high but I was expecting a bit more.
