Can't order online, order cancelled twice without an explanation. I'm not sure if they don't do that but they are listed in delivery apps.

unfortunately we already had dinner plans when i found street beet. fortunately we saved room for…read moredessert. online we ordered the salted caramel cheesecake and the cookie butter milkshake. the milkshake had me at a loss for words. it was creamy, sweet, and rich. the cookie butter and cookie chunks added so much flavor and the ice cream itself was top notch. the cheesecake was also amazing and the texture was spot on. i will be back for that plant based triple dipper!

Me and my friend came here during brunch hours (10-am-3pm) while came with a brunch menu. She got…read morethe brunchywrap, and I got the egg burger with a side of home fries. The only good thing about this food was the home fries. Not only were the entrees mediocre, they were incorrectly made. For example, my friend requested chorizo in her wrap, they gave her sausage. For me, I requested the egg be taken off. It came with no onions, and the cheese wasn't melted. Not to mention, to portions were average size and the price $18 for each dish. There were less than 8 other customers in the restaurant at this point. Safe to say, we are truly disappointed, as we came a few years ago for a pop up, and the food was great. Truly fell off. I also was charged $16 a few months prior for a cinnamon roll that was genuinely one of the worst I've ever had. They're $5 now so hopefully the recipe changed. I only gave 2 stars for the potatoes.

This place is such a gem! It's definitely on the smaller side, but that's part of the charm. The…read morecozy dining room and the cute little bar give it a fun neighborhood vibe that makes you want to hang out a little longer. The food was fantastic, everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and worth the wait. The service was just as good. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and kept things moving even though the place was packed. The only thing I thought was a little odd was that syrup for the pancakes was an extra charge instead of coming with them, but it definitely wasn't enough to take away from the experience. Just know there's probably going to be a wait, but honestly it's easy to see why. I'd happily wait again. We'll definitely be back!

Brooklyn street local you have finally won me over…read more I've been here several times but every time it wasn't my decision. When you have brunch with the girls it's hard to get a vote in and tbh I plan everything else we do so I'm happy to take a break on Sunday because I am god after all. Anyway I went on my own accord today. The service was beautiful. I really don't love having to order off of my phone because it limits the server to customer experience but despite that my server Mary made me feel super connected to her. She had great recommendations and knowledgeable descriptions of the menu. I sat on the patio with a nice breeze and minimal bugs. Seating was spacious and delightful. I got the brekwhich and it was soooooo delish. Mary could tell I was a freak so she had the crazy idea to put their locally farmed 3 berry jam on it. I told her it reminded me of that one episode of SpongeBob and I lost her :/. The savory plus the sweet was heaven in my heart. If he could he would, and apparently everyone's afraid of heaven. I also got my fav a BM (Bloody Mary). I didn't ask what mix they use like I usually do, I had faith. And I was right to do so. McClure's! MY FAVORITE TIED WITH VIVIOS! It came with a spicy peppery rim which was aight but that's not really my thing, I'm not that freaky! But I don't yuck anyone's yum. I also got the NEW lavender mimosa. Fragrant, festive and fastidious. It was a bright light that woke me up in a way only summer light is able to do. Angels are blinding, I hope Mary can still see because she took a peak in my heart to deliver the best experience. 10/10 will be back Side note I really don't get poutine for breakfast but I appreciate people sticking with brand. And I don't have to order that :)

Heard about this local rum bar from a tiki friend. I would definitely say it's tiki adjacent and…read morehas the best if not one of the best rum selections in southeast Michigan. Dave, one of the partners, and Liz, our bartender, were so welcoming and knowledgeable. Took us forever to choose rums for our daiquiris due to the vast number of rums they have available. The front is a cozy bar and the back has games. We stayed in the adult section up front. They have food on the menu, but I was having liquid lunch on this visit. Parking is easy on the street. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

We ordered every drink on the menu(not joking) and there is something for everyone, I often don't like gin or bourbon and those were some of the best combos I've had. I will say some are certainly heavy on the sugar but you can always ask them and the bartenders know which ones to suggest. I ordered vegan phish sandwich and vegan chicken kimchi Sandwich. I loved vegan phish sandwich, i was worried it would truly taste like fish, and I can't stand the taste of fish. But it didn't, the texture was definitely more correct flakey and moist, amazing toppings perfect ratio of bun and everything it was awesome. The kimchi chicken sandwich was equally amazing a little spicy couldn't finish way too full. THE BUFFALO CURRY FRIES ARE EVERYTHING, plenty to share. I'm vegetarian(I do eat cheese though but no mayo). All other sandwich options you can substitute the meat options for a vegan patty which I wished more places did. Also the table ordered the mushroom spread and the spicy olive spread everyone loved both. Other people at my table that order the lamb burger said it was fantastic. There was another burger with Gorgonzola that they said was also amazing. I truly don't think you can go wrong with anything here on the menu. Will be back will tell everyone I know.

The staff was very friendly and warm when greeting guests. Their personable nature made the visit that much more worth the walk in the heat. Since the place was pretty busy we took bar stools to avoid waiting for a table and it was a good view of the smaller kitchen area. I was pleasantly surprised at the efficiency we saw from the busy crowd and the food not taking 10 years. The food was tasty. I truly enjoyed my Korean spicy fries. Spicy in name not truly spicy to cause a burn if that makes sense. I was craving a traditional breakfast plate but the staff and my friends who are local insisted that I needed to try the Korean fries so I did both. Was it greedy of me? Absolutely. Did I care? No. The locally sourced sausage was also very tasty. I must try to find it to cook at home. My friends ordered their regular go-to meals so it was great according to them. The burger and the duck hash. I think I'll go back and try the duck hash next time for sure. And another thing, there's a particular parking garage they validate a couple hours for. So parking is not an issue in this downtown office building.

Amazing Mexico City inspired restaurant in the heart of Midtown Detroit!…read more Drinks: - Hibiscus Agua Fresca - Watermelon w/ Chia Agua Fresca Food we ordered: - Guacamole with Totopos - Tuna Tostada - Coliflor - Asada Del Día - Coconut Tres Leches Standouts included the tuna tostada, with tuna chunks that melted in your mouth and a slight spicy kick. The Asada Del Día was absolutely amazing. Medium rare ribeye paired with a leek sauce, bone marrow and freshly made tortillas. For someone who isn't the biggest coconut fan, the tres leches was delicious, creamy and the perfect way to finish dinner. Staff was amazing and ambience was great. Will be back!

Make sure you make reservations, you're gonna need them. The vibes inside are beautiful, it's dark with some great earthy decor as their ambience. They have a gorgeous bar that you can glance at, and get very excited because their drinks are divine. The weight staff is super friendly, very efficient and very attentive. We started with the Agua Chile - kind of a funner take on your standard ceviche with some gorgeous shrimp and that sauce is drinkable. Esquites were extra fun with asparagus and corn, so it gave some extra dimension to the vegetable bites and different textures as we kind of bid into it and as you can see in the picture just covered in cheese extremely good. I have to say the Tetela was one of my favorite bites, just the attention to detail on the brazing of the carrot with the lovely tortilla/masa combination, truly worth it. We also got the fish with the two different salsas and that was such a divine bite and it made it more exciting that you were essentially getting a two and one. The fish was extremely flaky, but with a stunning grilled to it. Overall amazing. The deserts were both delicious but I would go back for the Pan De Elote everytime... I mean this is how corn should be spotlighted and celebrated. It was a gorgeous meal, with flavors that make my tastebuds dance with every bite. Vecino is here to stay!

As a NON-Detroiter, I would say that this was a pretty good recommended pizza spot serving fun…read moreDetroit-style pizza. Fluffy bread and a pleasant crust, this pizza parlor introduced me to some of the better pizzas during my stay. I got the Meat Lovers and the Big Mack to try. The Meat Lovers is what you expect, just a good amount of meat to pair with the large amount of dough and cheese. It's a bit oily and heavy, so the Big Mack was actually my favorite due to the lighter nature and the accurate taste compraison to an actual Big Mac. Beer was also great. I've been getting into beer lately and wanted to try some Michigan-brewed beer and the options as well as the taste did not disappoint. Service was good. I let them know that I wasn't from Michigan and it was my first week there and they gave me a good run-down of the menu. Their recommendations were solid and they leave us unattended for too long. I wish there was a bit more table space at the communal tables, but there's only so much you can do with the size of the restaurant.

This was a small place with a bar that served mostly Detroit-style pizza along with boozy shakes…read more The service was appreciated and the food came out in a timely manner. For a starter, the cashew Caesar salad ($8) was ordered. It came with mixed greens, house-made cashew Caesar dressing, fried shallots, and vegan parmesan. This was very tasty. It was unique with the fried shallot addition. The dressing was just enough. It all appeared very fresh and crisp. The cheese had somewhat of an odd texture, but not a big deal. For a meal, the lobster roll pizza ($45) was ordered. This was so unique that it had to be tried. It came with 6 oz. wild caught lobster, herb crème fraiche, celery and onion brunoise, Cape Cod chips, and chives with drawn butter and lemon. This was very rich, so the addition of the lemon juice and crunchy chips really helped offset that. It was also heavy due to the components incorporated. The lobster appeared fresh and there was plenty of it. The butter was not even needed, but solid for a slight dip. The crème fraiche was solid and different. The crust was crispy and great too. Will I go back? I would, yeah.
