I stopped here for breakfast while in town touring. I scouted this place out before I arrived and OMG..... This spot was everything!!!!! From the time I walked in I was greeted with a smile and got seated right away. I was told my waiters name and that he would be over shortly. My waiter arrived with a very energetic attitude-- he was very knowledgeable of the menu and was also very professional, which made my ordering smooth, I wish I could remember his name. I do remember he had a bald head and a blazer on. The food arrived pretty fast and also hot and fresh. The presentation of the food was amazing and so was the taste of everything. This place did not disappoint. The decor is really nice-with a New Orleans type of vibe. The music was good too. It was a breath of fresh air to receive such top notch service and enjoy every single thing on my plate. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're thinking about it and I will definitely return if I'm ever in Detroit again. read more

As most other reviews mention, the food was subpar especially for the price. The music was very loud and we could not hear the rest of our party at the table. I had a party of 4, we were seated immediately even while waiting on the last person in the party. We were seated at 2:30pm and received our food at 4:19. Three other parties who were seated after us but served and checked out before us, one of them consisting of 10 people. Our server, Payton was not the most attentive but still very polite and apologetic. We asked multiple times for water refills in glasses made for toddlers. We were seated at a table that was very wobbly and we overheard from the staff that every other table was missing screws. One of our drinks was cancelled because they were unable to make it but we're unsure why. Right before we got our food, I was singing along to the music, and someone who was clearly in charge asked me how I knew this song and not to say that I got it from my grandma because she would make sure I NEVER got my food. This made us feel like the restaurant did not take us seriously because we were young. When our food did finally come, our catfish and grits were very bland and lacking flavor. All food portions were very small and we never got a side of toast that we ordered. At the end of our meal, we brought our experience up to who we presume was the owner, and she gave us each discounts on our bill, $12 off of a $108 bill including gratuity for mine. It took around 15 minutes for us to get our updated bills back. Overall we're not very happy. none of us will be back which sucks because we did want to support a local black family owned business. read more

We stopped in late afternoon. It was not busy, just two other tables. We waited 2-3 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and seat us. My husband asked about an item on the menu and the server said it was her first day and she didn't know. The look of the interior was cool but attention to detail was missing. The bar had dead flowers in vases. It would be better to just throw them out and have none. The floor under our table was dirty with food and the table wobbled spilling our water. We ordered cheesy grits but they were bland with just some cheese sprinkled on top. Our breakfast sandwich was good though I asked for turkey bacon and did not get it. The music was so loud that I could not hear my husband or the server. We finally asked our server if they could turn it down and she did. There is an automatic 20% tip added to your bill so maybe that's why the service was poor. read more

From the moment I walked in the atmosphere, staff, presentation, knowledge base was superb. Immediate attention from the staff. They took the time to answer all of our questions. I was impressed by the non-stereotypical add ons. I just retired and my daughter treated me. I chose Sugah Please Breakfast Brunch-support black based businesses. I selected the blackened salmon and grits and selected wings with French toast. My salmon and grits were delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly and topped with a veggie relish that put this dish over the top. Norris was one of our initial servers. He stated that he was the one that suggested the veggie relish on top of the salmon. I am a foodie and this bit of knowledge was very impressive. I will be returning to try something new -again and again. Thank you so much. read more

Sugah Please Breakfast Brunch Bar - French Toast, House Potatoes, Bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Went here for my birthday. They wouldn't seat us until the whole party was there. It was three of us and we were waiting for one person. The restaurant was slow since brunch was winding down. I asked could we be seated because I wanted to order drinks and food for the table since it was my birthday. They would not let me sit at the table, but insisted that we sit the bar even though the restaurant was nearly empty. That really frustrated me so I ended up actually not ordering a drink even when we were seated. The food was delicious good, but the portion sizes did not match the prices. The food was way too expensive for the small amount of servings you were given. I would try to go back here but not during the weekend brunch, maybe during a lunch special or dinner special but I don't think paying $22 for a slice of toast and three wings and $24 for the equivalent of a plate of grits is acceptable. The food being delicious is the only reason for there not being a lower rating. read more

First off I have to stop listening to social media influencers they are dangerous. Because this place isn't that good! Now it is the food good yeah certain things on the menu. Heads up Gratuity is here even if it's only two people. Those Mocktails are Oceanspray so if you don't want any high fructose corn syrup skip the mocktail... or juice selection unless it's in-house made. (They have some stuff that's house made or by other vendors) They are still relatively new so don't expect top notch on point service. They are still trying to figure it out. Like they sat me at the bar and they didn't give us any silverware. We ordered appetizers and they came out super close to our food. The kitchen was behind and they kept telling us our food was coming it took about an hour and some change. (Best time to go is maybe at 2pm ish lighter traffic) I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast! Sounds amazing right. It's Dry so dry and hard! Syrup or not. Eggs were cold. Cheese add is $1 egg add on $6. Appetizer was Hot honey Salmon! We are all on a hot honey wave. Well don't expect that here it's a fancy cocktail sauce that's definitely suppose to be on a shrimp. It's not a taste of hot or honey in there baby. Listen when you go just don't have your hopes high. Just expect brunch.. basic food It's like a casual vibe here looks like people link for meetings here and celebrate birthdays a good spot to stop after church or something. read more

I have finally had the chance to check out Sugah Pease Brunch Bar, and it was worth the wait! I went yesterday for brunch and the experience was top tier from start to finish. The menu has SO many good options, it was hard to choose, but I went with the Meat Lovers Omelette (chicken, bacon, and sausage) and it did not disappoint. The presentation was and the flavors were on point--filling, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The service was AMAZING--friendly, attentive, and made the whole vibe even better. The atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and exactly what you want for a great brunch outing. If you're looking for a brunch spot in Detroit that delivers on food, service, and vibes, Sugah Pease is it. I'll definitely be back to try more off the menu! read more

Upon entry, the restaurant wasn't busy, but we waited about 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We then waited an additional 10 minutes to be seated. They might have been short staffed- which is understandable. The chairs at the table were at an awkward height, so it was a little difficult to enjoy the food based on the angle. The food was good though! read more

Upon arrival they stated they didn't have no catfish, crab cakes,pork belly, bacon, cinnamon French toast ,etc. there was also no bottle mimosas but it was on the menu. The music was loud and you couldn't hear your party talking, and when asked to turn it down a bit they stated no because it's their vibe. I ordered the Mardi Gras linguine with well done vegetables but they definitely disregarded my request and gave me what they wanted. I was as very displeased and would not recommend this establishment. Dre was a great waiter. read more

Unfortunately my experience at this restaurant was incredibly poor. I arrived at 9:30, I was greeted immediately by a very kind hostess. Everything went downhill from here. The waitress we had (Ashley) was slow and had horrible communication. She took our orders for mimosas after a long wait and then let the glasses sit at the bar not pouring any mimosas for 20 minutes! The place wasn't crowded at all, and i now know why. She never communicated that she didn't have the blueberry syrup for my requested mimosa and after flagging down the nice hostess to ask her to inquire she let us know this information. Our waitress then came over with these mimosas without any apology only to discover that they had used blue coloring for my drink? So it wasn't blueberry at all just blue. My water never got refilled, she never checked on us to ask how things were going cause if she had she would know I was unsatisfied with my drink. I had to go ask another person to remake me another drink and they were happy to but also very slow moving. The food eventually came, after waiting another long wait to order then to get the food, and it was decent but I wouldn't anywhere else ever pay $30 for a 1 piece of bread French toast plate. That's ridiculous. If you're from Detroit don't waste your time. The quality and customer service is subpar to any normal diner you've ever been to for 3x the price, go to coney! poor customer service and AUTOMATIC 20% gratuity regardless of party size. I was a party of 2. If you're from out of town, risk it for the biscuit and try literally ANY OTHER PLACE. I won't ever return and I am disgusted with the lack of care and concern at this place. Shocked! read more

Very solid spot for brunch/lunch and I'm so glad they're downtown - we needed a spot like this! Prices are fair and food quality and service was great. Everything was highly seasoned, and I'd return specifically for the fried green tomatoes and seafood gumbo. Everything came out hot and freshly prepared; the crab cake was tender and full of crab meat, and I don't think I've ever had better fried green tomatoes - the perfect texture and flavor. The shrimp and grits looked amazing, and even the meat lover's omelet looked good. I think they could upgrade their coffee offerings to include espresso drinks, but they just opened, so maybe that's on the horizon. We were greeted warmly and seated right away, our server was attentive, and the chef came over to speak to us. The decor is cute with comfy cushy chairs and vibey R&B music; a very pleasant environment. We will definitely be back! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by my meal at Sugah Please. I had read a few reviews that made me cynical, but my friend wanted to try it so we came. I'll be honest and say that the place wasn't very clean and the vases on the tables had dirty water with dying flowers, but other than that, it was great. I ordered the veggie omelet with a side of bacon and the omelet was amazing. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and seasoned great. It was packed full of veggies like spinach and peppers. The toast was also tasty as it seemed to be grilled on a griddle or pan rather than toasted. The meal was filling and kept me filled up most of the day. My friend also loved her food. The decor and furniture here is super cool with velvet chairs. I definitely recommend their food but they could really clean up the place for an extra star. read more

If you have all day and want to waste your time, if you have time to waste, this is a place for you now only did they lie about the weight which they said was 30 minutes, but it turned out to be over an hour then we sat down the worst customer service ever didn't offer us water. Take our drink orders for another 20 minutes. I inquired with the manager and she stated that it would be another 10 minutes my 86-year-old mother just want coffee so that was another 30 minutes. We waited for coffee and guess what we never received the coffee party of nine ended up leaving at 5 o'clock waiting since 315. No water no coffee no service oh, I'm sorry bad service received. read more

While I really appreciated supporting a local business in Downtown Detroit, the service at Sugah Please really soured what could have been a sweet experience. From the start when we walked in, there was a line of people who were waiting with no one who was keeping track of who came when. After about a 15-20 minute wait, we were finally seated at the bar and placed our orders. The food itself was pretty good- especially the crispness of the chicken. However, one person's meal came about 20 minutes after the other, and when we asked about it, they said the waffle had been dropped so they were making another. However, when the food came the waffle was not very hot while the chicken was piping hot so I was a bit confused if they had just needed more time to make the food itself. The Brussel sprouts were very crispy and cooked well! There seemed to be an issue with the front of house service, as there were many people who were complaining because they had made reservations and they still had to wait. The server was nice but simply seemed too busy and disorganized. I do not think I would stop by again but glad I tried it! read more

Visited this restaurant while in Detroit. The decor was nice. Thats the only good thing I can honestly say. Dont waste your time or money going there. Unprofessional staff, Food portion small for the prices they charge and the food wasn't even good. We were very disappointed and won't be back. read more

This experience was quite unfortunate........trying to find the place initially was a task in itself. The gps directs you to the front of the building on Jefferson. When in fact the actual entrance to the restaurant is on larned and Shelby. (No signs for direction to the venue) We waited 15 minutes to be greeted and 30 mins for our orders to be taken and waters to be dropped off at the table. The wait time for food wasn't as bad as the service, however, when the food did come out half of it was cold! When the food arrived we had no napkins or silverware to eat. In the midst of all this chaos customers were leaving because they were seating people and no service was being provided. They also take automatic gratuity from each check. In my opinion the service wasn't worth the tip. Overall this experience was a 3/10 I would never recommend to anyone read more

We came here for an early lunch while at a conference, and the food was delicious, although it was frustrating that the posted menu (online) was quite a bit different than what we got when we arrived. Overall, the food didn't disappoint. The ambiance is cool, however the service was quite slow. After asking for individual receipts on multiple occasions, we found ourselves waiting for them still after the end of our meal. read more

I really really liked Sugah Please. I'm a seafood brunch guy, and if you factor in portions, price and quality, I think it might be my favorite seafood brunch spot that I've tried in Detroit. We had the Blackened Salmon and grits and it was one of the best brunch meals that I've had in the city. The grits were fantastic. These were not lumpy, mealy, bland grits. These grits were incredibly creamy and flavored with a slight bit a of cheese that I loved. I could've easily gotten a plate of grits and been happy and full. They are the best grits in the area in my opinion: The blackened salmon that came with the grits was awesome as well. You got a great portion of it, it was flaky and fresh, and most importantly, it was seasoned thoroughly. When I get blackened salmon, I want some Cajun spice on there, and they did the job as well as I've seen a restaurant do it in the area. There was a nice crust of it and it made the fish taste extremely good. It's hard to find reasonably priced, brunch salmon in the area. This was the best I've had. It was incredible. Sugah is located right next to the Pontchartrain Hotel in a great area Downtown between Jefferson and Larned. I thought the inside of it was extremely well decorated and not bare at all. Loved the booths, they were extremely comfortable. Great spot to take a date. The service was awesome and every person working there was extremely courteous. Couldn't ask for a nicer staff. For a downtown brunch spot with a high end menu, I think Sugah Please is one of the best values going. It is very very well priced for what you get and it was one of the best spots I've been to in a while. I'll be back! read more

My wife and I visited Shugah Please on March 7 26. I should start by saying that I have never written a restaurant review before--and I'm 67 years old--so that alone should say something about how strongly I felt about the experience. We enjoy finding places that offer great food, attentive service, and pricing that reflects the quality of the product and overall experience--especially these days with rising costs. Unfortunately, Shugah Please did not score particularly high in any of those areas. Starting with the service, it felt as though we were doing the server a favor simply by being there. The service was slow and inattentive, and overall, the experience felt dismissive. To be fair, the other patrons we encountered were very friendly, which was a bright spot. The food itself was acceptable, but nothing exceptional. Given the pricing, we expected a more memorable meal. The prices were quite high and felt more in line with a Northern California hotel brunch rather than a casual neighborhood dining experience. Then, after we left, I discovered that a 20% tip had already been added to the bill. That was particularly disappointing given the level of service we received. Sorry Detroit--you deserve better than this. read more

Easily the worst place to get food in the city. After a 1.5 hour wait we were able to get bar seating where we were ignored for 30 minutes. The bar tender apologized and proceeded to have a smart az attitude. Offered us a mimosa flight which was nothing but a drop of food coloring in champagne. The drinks were actually disgusting. The food was mid, i ordered a turkey bacon croissant sandwich and the turkey bacon was raw and the bread tasted like it was store bought frozen. The manager never came to us like we requested and everyone else around at other tables were visibly upset at the experience. Huge waste of time and money. read more

The food was good. The staff was were polite. The wait time could be shorter & we still had to wait for our 1pm reservation of 7 to be sat but in the end all was well. The host whom i think was the manager checked on us & eventually he sat at our table. I really enjoyed my gumbo, the peach honey wings and that amazing blackened salmon burger! Ill be back but first they need alcohol! If we'd known there was no liquor then we wouldn't have booked the place for brunch lol. Just being honest. They calm they are working on it & have the license... i didn't like that they have us plastic ware to eat w/. Especially since the apps came 12/28 w/ real silverware. So some had it, while others didn't! You can tell our waitress was trying her best. But she did forget to bring out my wing app right away w/ the others. She also just delivered the crab cake the birthday girl ordered but forgot that it was a crab Benedict and potatoes order.. FYI: The QR code from the menu didn't work & its 20% gratuity per table & they only allow 1 check/bill! read more

If you find yourself in Detroit, you need to go here at least once. This was seriously the most delicious breakfast I've had in a long time. I got the breakfast platter, which comes with 2 eggs, conecuh sausage (the star in my opinion), toast, grilled onions and peppers, and breakfast potatoes. Our waitress was extremely sweet and provided exceptional service. Also, the inside of the restaurant is so beautiful. We had a bit of a hard time finding the restaurant but it was worth the confusion! Definitely stop here for a yummy brunch. read more

I share this review with respect and a genuine desire to support Black-owned businesses, as I truly want to see us thrive. I was excited to finally try Sugah Please and visited on Father's Day, not realizing they were offering a special prix fixe menu. Once we arrived, we discovered it was a buffet that included catfish and grits, French toast, fruit, omelets, and (I believe) potatoes. While I don't mind paying for good food, $60 felt a bit steep for the limited buffet selection, especially since it didn't include a mimosa. Because of the limited options, we decided to leave and went to Central Kitchen instead. The following Sunday, I decided to give Sugah Please another try with my girlfriends. Knowing it was a weekend, we expected a wait, but were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at 12:30 p.m. and were told it would only be about 40 minutes. By 1:15 p.m., we checked in with the hostess again for an updated time, but she informed us she needed to ask the manager, who was inside the restaurant. We continued waiting, but by 2:00 p.m., we still hadn't been seated. When we finally spoke with the manager, we were told that only one server was working because the other one left, which caused a major backup. I found it surprising that there was only one server on a busy Sunday, especially with so many guests waiting. At that point, we made the decision to leave and once again went to Central Kitchen. It was disappointing, especially after paying $20 for parking across the street because I genuinely wanted to support this establishment. I hope the restaurant is able to address some of these service and staffing issues, as the concept and atmosphere have great potential. read more

The food, service and ambience were all a 10/10! I really wanted to try a new breakfast spot and I'm so glad we did. I think the previous reviews may have been when the restaurant 1st opened because that was not our experience at all! My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our food and our server. All the staff were very pleasant and assisted us along with our server. Their team work really took it up a notch with our experience....and the food..BABY! Those were some of the best potatoes I've ever had in my life, so flavorful and I didn't have to add any seasoning, just hot sauce lol. My baby said his shrimp and grits were phenomenal, full of flavor and grits like no other. Shout out to the chefs! If you guys haven't checked this place out yet, please give it a try! Oh and our server Len was awesome! Can't wait to come back and thank you for having us side note- I never leave reviews so this one is truly from the heart! read more

We decided to go here on a Saturday afternoon hoping to catch some brunch. Well the place was just off the hook with people everywhere. The wait was very very long and I do believe the host was getting confused as to who came first and when and where she told people to wait and how long the wait will be. When we finally got a table the customer service was excellent. I wish they would have more on the menu to choose from but overall it was okay. The drink was really good that the waitress recommended but I just can't remember the name of it I think it might have been one of their specialty drinks. But overall it was a okay experience but I don't have to go back. read more
