You would think it wouldn't be too hard to make this dish as it's relatively simple, but I've been to three or four of the German restaurants in our area and absolutely none of them get it right, or even close to right. The proprietor is charming and engaging, and I'm so happy to support her business. The spatzel and sauerkraut were also on point. Perhaps someday they'll be able to open a walk up restaurant, but for now I will continue to support the food truck

What wonderful people with a delicious encounter! I'm in love!…read more One of the true highlights of Festing for us this year, everything we shared was spot on authentic. What a treat! We started with pretzels that were devoured literally in seconds. That required more drink. Then we were hungry again. What a cycle. The wife spoke with Jana and Sean(?) and was thoroughly impressed. Their currywurst was wonderful, the kraut, perfect and the whole experience a great joy. We would love to come back and do it again (I'm so stunned, I'm pinching myself). 10/25

Excellent on all fronts. Service was amazing, food came out reasonably quick for how busy it was…read more Enchilada Omelette was BEST I've ever had. Was perfect balance of egg and other ingredients where it wasn't all egg! Potatoes excellent as well. DO NOT MISS the homemade biscuits. BLTE - excellent Korean Fries-very good Strawberry waffle- light and yummy Chicken Avo salad - great Veggie omelette- great flavor for our vegan friend.

In all my years working in Detroit I finally got downtown to try this lovely spot. It's a cozy,…read morenice diner vibe that's not a a grungy, divey place yet small like one. 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.

I've wanted to check out this market and pop up, but in past years it has been really busy. A…read morefriend and I were able to go on a Friday afternoon and it was the perfect timing. The shops are cute, but small, so to be able to look around there cannot be too many people inside. At the end is the pop up bar/restaurant. We did not eat anything, just had a couple of drinks. The cocktails are in the $13-14 range and are pretty good. The bar tenders are friendly and dressed for the season. Since our timing was good, we were able to actually enjoy the decor and find seats on the leather couches (where are these stored during the year...?) We had a really nice time and would good again on an afternoon.

I found Chubby Panda on Instagram. After looking at various posts and reading more about the…read morebusiness and its owner, I decided to try it. The "Detroit street food" carryout counter is located inside of a gas station on Clark & Vernor in Southwest Detroit. There is signage outside, on the Clark Street side of the building. Inside the gas station, there is a sign for another food business. I thought that I was at the wrong location, but went outside and called the phone number listed on Instagram. The gentleman that answered the number, which turned out to be the gas station phone number, assured me that I was at the right place. I went back in, snapped few pics, and ordered. I wanted to try something exciting, but I wasn't sure what to get. I settled on a shrimp tempura taco and crunchy crab legs. My order totaled just shy of $30. The fried crab legs reminded me of mozzarella sticks. I only took a few bites. The snack seemed to be imitation krab. It came with seasoned fries and three different dipping sauces. It's a really kool snack item, but I don't think I'd order it again. The taco was more to my liking. It's essentially a deconstructed sushi roll. The tempura shrimp, sauces and cucumber sit on a bed of sushi rice on top of a fried wonton wrapper. It looked super cool and was very tasty. The dish was topped with crunchies. The menu is small and kitschy with fusion-style snacks. My carryout bag was packed with care and included a few Andes chocolate mints. I'll support the owner again trying other items and will share it with others.

This is a pop up shop, so review is on food only not the location…read more I've experienced them on two prior occasions and the consistency with the food is crazy!! The oxtails are a favorite of mine. The gravy that they are in is seasoned perfectly, the rice and peas (which I don't normally like anywhere else) are amazing, the cabbage is sautéed with a small kick of spice.. perfect darn meal. They do have plantains that come with the meal when ordering carry out, or you can pay extra for them when dining in. Because it's a pop up restaurant drinks do not come with the meal (they do serve water). The particular location did have an option to purchase separately from the bar. The Boston cooler pictured (Vernon's and ice cream ) hit the spot. If you ever see them in your area stop in, it's worth it

Since I've never had Liberian food before, I wanted to try the traditional dishes of Palava and…read moreCassava stews. Both were delicious and hearty, served with sweet plantains, rice and mixed vegetables. The red palm oil was so flavorful and surprisingly light. My favorite was the grilled shrimp appetizer. Six large and juicy skewered shrimp, seasoned perfectly. On the side, a bit of the cucumber salad. This was perfect on a hot summer day. We also ordered sides of kidney beans and collard greens. Both of these deserve an ovation and could stand alone as stars on a vegetarian/low meat plate. The country rice is so good, perfect for the gravy formed from the oil in stews. We washed it all down with expertly crafted fresh fruit cocktails - the Nimba Night and Liberian Girl in particular were fantastic! I'm returning soon to soak in the beauty of this artfully blessed space, and to nibble on even more of the exotic tastes. Great job Little Liberia!

I have been following Little Liberia launch progress and was excited to be able to experience those west African flavors again. Liberian cuisine has been near impossible to get in the Detroit area since the early 80's. I haven't had any in a while. Fate however delayed me. I don't own a car and the restaurant is 25 miles away, Outside all the delivery apps ranges. So I couldn't get the food for months. Until today. Little Liberia is in a new hip part of Detroit. The neighborhood is walkable and has bikeways. New residential developments and inevitable gentrification are afoot. This restaurant deserves to be either in your regular rotation or a priority visit for a change of pace. It is well decorated and modern. It has a small bar and banquet space plus outdoor summer seating. The food was everything I remembered. The cassava leaf were so reminiscent of my year at LU, I would have been choked up but that would have slowed the pleasure that each forkful of the two entrees and one side I ordered delivered. I would have ordered more but they weren't serving a couple of my all time favorites check rice and potato greens today. I'll definitely be back to get those. Went on a Friday after the lunch rush. I walked in was greeted and seated in the lightly populated dining room by Tia. I put my experience in her hands and was delighted with the result. Everything EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS.
