This rock 'n roll themed diner is a downriver favorite for breakfast. The food is consistently…read moregood, even if the same order isn't always exactly the same. For example, I get the "Hearty" breakfast most of the time and it comes with eggs, meat, pancakes, potatoes and toast, and it really highlights what is this place's strength. Eggs: I get mine scrambled and have a nice selection of hot sauce to choose from. Meat: I appreciate that they offer turkey sausage since I don't eat beef or pork, but my wife loves their bacon if that's your thing. Pancakes: quality varies the most here as they are sometimes a little pale (but still good) but more often the idyllic golden one expects when ordering. Potatoes: lots of variety here, too, as my home fries come in different sized cuts with seasoning ranging from none to "no need for salt or pepper?" Toast: Again, wide variety of choices, I go with sourdough most often If this sounds like a lot of food, there are lots of other options that make it appealing to smaller appetites. But what I like about the "Hearty" is all the choices and the variation in style (probably depends on who's staffing the griddle) allows me to order the same meal and still feel like I'm getting some variety. Having said that, keep an eye out for the specials. They sometimes are tempting enough to get me to stray from usual. In addition to good food, the service is always friendly, and we've been back enough times to where I think every server recognizes us. Like I said, it's a favorite.

Ate here for the first time last week. There at lunch time. Service was good, food was excellent,…read morebut it was too noisy for us. There were 2 tables that were a little louder than usual, but even when they left, it was still too noisy. Appears to be no sound deadening in the ceiling. This makes us reluctant to dine here again. When you can't hear the person sitting 2-3' away from you, at the same table, it is NOT a good thing.

My go to was one of the breakfast bowls and it was always enough for two meals. I've dined in here and done take out and the quality of food was on point both times.

The first thing you notice is the large welcome by Joy when you walk in the door. Spacious, clean, well lit, and very homey (well it is a family diner, lol). Our service by Panda (yes, that's her name was phenomenal). Fast, and very accommodating. Food priced very well. Me, my friend Alicia and her nephew ate very well for less than $45. Including a carryout to take home for Pimp. We will be back!!!

Found Taylor's Kitchen on our way to a wedding out-of-town. It's a small diner with a lot of…read morecharacter. The best part of our experience was the service. Everyone was super-friendly and welcoming, and the business appears to be women-owned. We enjoyed chatting with our server and she gave us some great suggestions for Detroit activities. I enjoyed the coffee, Western omelette, and the toast. The bacon was a bit chewy and the home fries more resembled hash browns. If I were ever in the Detroit area I would return to Taylor's and maybe try something else.

I know this place has been open for awhile for full food service, but I remember when it was simply…read morea display with plastic food. The kids also remember back in the day just walking through and wishing they could eat here. Then, it finally happened, and they were so excited! Many, many years ago, I remember my oldest child finally liking chicken pot pie due to this place serving it. Well, over the years the menu has chanced, but the kids still love this experience and can't resist coming here for lunch. True, as stated in another review, the menu is super limited, but it has that charm of an old timey diner. The menu also changes from time to time, so go online before you come or look at the menu at the front before entering, because there are other places to eat, especially when the Village is also open. A couple of us opted for the half chicken salad sandwich and the cup of soup. I got broccoli cheddar and my child got the chicken noodle, but she wished she got the broccoli. We also had chips and bottles of pop, I got the Coke and it was so good and refreshing. I do not love sugar Coke unless it is from the glass bottle (this was cane sugar from Mexico, and really good, not too sweet). The other child got pastrami and cheese with mayo, also very tasty. I love a good old fashion sandwich that I do not need to make myself, it tastes like old school elementary school lunch from my childhood. We also got pies a la mode. One got pumpkin and two got mixed berry, all very good. You do not come here just for the food, this is for the atmosphere and the experience, which is worth it at least once, even though my kids will want it almost every visit.

My thoughts: This is a traditional classic all America restaurant that is been around the Detroit…read moreMI area through out the up and down of the economy. And any restaurant can survive the harsh business world is A OK in my book. Plus they do serve good comfort food and maintain a reasonable price. The hospitality to an out of state American like myself is priceless. Will visit this spot every time I come back to Detroit. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean but not up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is good,food taste is good and portions are good. 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of America food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare anywhere in USA. Not bad! But some dishes did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think.
