    Fish and chips !! So good !!!

    The fish is really excellent. You've gotta get there a little early or you'll have to stand in line for a while. But it's well worth it. The people are really nice. We keep going back. It's a very good place to go.

    Located on Five Mile in a strip mall type complex with a lot of parking. We went on a Friday night, which wasn't super smart. Inside is a slightly divey dim long bar, lots of tables, a side room, and a really nice side patio with great looking brick and roll up thick metal shutters (this is an elevated crime risk area). Pretty good craft beer list, made even better for being located where it is. Pretty good prices. Pretty good food. The staff were nice, and fast. The issue was the patrons. As I said, this was Friday night, but they were pretty jerky. Rude, as in won't move so people can order, saving bar seats for people who aren't there yet, throwing a shoulder in case you may get to the bathroom first. Sort of the worst of the Thursday night college bar scene, only full of union workers who didn't get into the big three.

My wife wanted to have dinner here just to see what it is like. We came in and right away we were welcomed warmly. I will say that the staff was all extremely friendly and welcoming. We both ordered and the food arrived promptly. Both dinners were of what I would call generous portion size. Both dinners were tasty hot and fresh. The staff kept making sure that if we needed anything they would accommodate. Their idea for drink refills. Their idea for to go boxes and they even tried to give us to go cups for our drinks. This is not a fancy suit and tie place but the people and food was excellent and the prices were as expected. Would I recommend this place? Only if you are looking for a nice calm place to have good food brought to you by friendly staff. If that's what you seek. Go here. If not, see a shrink. They have also changed their hours of being open. Mon - Sat 6am - 10 pm Sun - 8am - 3 pm. It's a nice family run place. I recommend you try it.

Let me tell you that corned beef sandwich was to die for. Tender,juicy and huge,everything apthat a corned beef lover could desire! The sandwich was 12.25 and worth every penny! We will be back!

The confirmation text didn't come through until we were already inside, which might be bad reception, but it almost cost us the table. Then they sat us right across from the back kitchen entrance. Banging, yelling, and an open doorway into the kitchen. Off-putting, especially with better seating clearly open. The food keeps the rating up. I did not expect a wings place, but the smoked wings were my favorite, right amount of crispy with good smoke. The sauce list is long and I couldn't pick a favorite. The ranch tasted house-made and it was amazing. The chikin soho was the other standout. Honey ginger glaze, chili dijon slaw, and pickles that all work together. Misses: the brisket nachos needed fresh guac and actual brisket, since there was barely any. The 6 cheese mac was fine but not worth ordering again. Prices were right for what it is, a bistro concept. It's in Wayne, which surprised me since I didn't know spots like this existed out here. Wide enough menu that I'll be back. Next time I'm speaking up about the seating.

The girls at the Enterprise counter of DTW recommended this place as representational of Detroit area fast food. I was told to order the coney dog. A long serene drive down Telegraph and finally, I turn into the driveway that belongs to Nicky D's. The interior is pure 90s liminal nostalgia creepshow (I mean this in the best way). A formidable barrier of plexi separates gen pop from the employees. And those employees, they're actually cooking. Technically, the layout is fast food, but they're doing more than most short order cooks around this country. I got me one of them coney dogs and also a fish cod sammich....
