Great restaurant in Downtown Detroit. We were seated quickly, food was great and our waiter, Darius, was super cool and checked on us throughout our meal. The Peach Cider was so great that I bought a bottle to bring home 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

Sugah Please Breakfast Brunch Bar - Breakfast Platter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm struggling to rate this restaurant! If you follow my reviews you know that I adore Brunch! I love to day drink, take a nap, and go out for more adventures. We have been wanting to check out this location for quite some time. Having recently returned from NOLA, we were interested in this NOLA themed brunch. We arrived about 10 am. It was busy but not overly crowded. We were able to score seats at the bar which is how we like it. Unfortunately, we sat there for at least 15 minutes before being acknowledged at all. Then it was about 5 more minutes before we got some water. Another 5 before our drink order was taken. If you are going to charge premium prices, I expect premium service. I will say that our bartender did redeem herself in that she was very friendly. Bur the drinks were just so so. Definitely not $15 -$20 cocktails. The food was AMAZING though. We got shrimp and grits and the Bourbon Street Omelette which contained shrimp, crab, feta and spinach. The food was good, but the overall experience was underwhelming and a bit disappointing. Especially since we have been looking forward to this. I'm hoping they get it together. At this point I wouldn't come back. But I do want other people to check it out and see what they think. read more

So this place was picked for a midday meet up for the ladies Today. We ordered a variety of things off the menu. Starting with drinks I had the espresso martini which did not come in a martini glass. The ladies had a incarcerated sangria and the other guest in the party had a sugah blue. The incarcerated sangria was tasty . The sugah blue was too much alcohol but if you like that sort of thing then you will like it. The martini was good but not coming in a full real martini glass was tacky and gave you very little of a drink . The food that was ordered was the mushroom burger which I was told was tasty. The catfish and grits were ordered the salmon Mardi Gras pasta and the Caesar salad with blackened salmon added. The gumbo and peach barbecue wings. Now we arrived at 3:45 was told it would be a 40 minute wait which turned into a hour and 15 minute wait. The place was not even packed but understaffed. The waiter came over after fifteen minutes of us sitting at our table. Then the food took over a hour to come out and some food was even cold . The experience was horrible . The owner was there talking at the bar I noticed her from her pictures online . Customers were asking for a manager and she just walked away. Because they did not know she was the owner. This place has a lot of potential but the lack of care is shown in every aspect of this place . It's actually in a great location. But the service is beyond horrible the food was okay. Will never return or recommend. The ambiance was nice. Gratuity added to every bill. read more

My lady and I are real Foodies. We love trying new restaurants, maybe our experience in dining has raised our level of awareness on what it takes to have a good restaurant. This place was a terrible disappointment. Parking was frustrating, we were sat across from the kitchen door when plenty of available seats were abundant, I asked for lemon in my water they totally forgot. I literally had to tip my coffee cup ($3.50)on its side to get the attention of my waiter to refill, he forgot which brand drink my date and I had and handed us the wrong cups, the food was unremarkable, i ordered shrimp and grits $21 and my date had crab cake sandwich $26. At that price point you would expend quality not a rip off. The presentation was poor, the grits were flavorless, the crab cake could be bought at Kroger for $6. They have an excellent location, we love supporting minority owned businesses however DO NOT RECOMMEND SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY read more

Food is excellent. All of our food was excellent. There were 7 of us and every person's meal was prepared as ordered. The service was outstanding- personable and welcoming. The ambiance of the place was nice for a date or a family. read more

Place was out of everything! The waitress was good but said they only take small orders first before larger!

They was out of a lot of food. I feel like that was very unprofessional. The service was OK. They was all over the place. It took a long time for us to get our drinks read more

I was excited to visit this restaurant after a rave review from a neighbor. We were a table of three with an out-of-town guest. The sausage in meat lovers omelet was over cooked, hard. Conversely, the Bourbon Street omelet and hot peach tea was very good. The one turn off was the water in the flower vase of week old flowers that was evident on all the tables. It was murky and seemed to attract flies. It was brought to the attention of server who also agreed. read more

One word: FLAVORFUL! If you're looking for food that actually has flavor, seasoned to perfection, and tastes absolutely delicious, well look no further. This is the place for you! The service was outstanding. This place makes you feel like you've teleported to a New Orleans establishment. The place is quaint. The music was perfect, drinks were good, and the dessert was to die for! 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Food was good , but for yall to take a party of 30 on a Sunday for lunch is unacceptable. A party of thirty is a catering job or a private party and close for that day. Or at least have the decency to stagger that party as not to over whelm the kitchen. They did say we would have to wait 30 mins for food , we sat at our table for an hour and half before we started receiving our food. They could have handled that a lot better. read more

My food was good but seemed to be overpriced. My nonalcoholic drink was very good. There was no wait for a table

Food was delicious, atmosphere very chill, and the service was amazing. Shrimp was so juicy and seasoned to perfection. The sweet potato cheesecake was decadent! read more

Customer service is AWFUL however if you can ignore that the food is AMAZING. They definitely cook with love they just need to find a way to hire more staff. We waited so long to be seated that we actually just seated ourselves. The servers are also elderly so I gave them grace. It also tickled me that everyone who came in after us sat themselves too because they were tired of waiting. I ordered catfish bites which are not on the menu but they were seasoned and fried to perfection. I also had the land gumbo which came out piping HOT & had all the flavors. read more

I visited this restaurant on a Sunday around 2p. I had a party of 4 (3 adults, 1 child). We were told it would be a 45 minute wait which was fine. We were seated around 40 minutes. The guy seating us told us the kitchen was backed up so it would be a wait.. we understood. Our server came out and immediately got our drink orders and came back to get food orders. After our orders were placed about 10 mins later she came out to let us know the cook said he was not making anymore orders and our food was not going to be made. We got up and left after being there a total of 1 hour and 15 mins to be told we basically were not being served. That sucked. I'm not sure what was going on but my eyes were burning, my mother's eyes were burning, and I heard the table next to us complain of the same thing. They did have a door cracked open-- but maybe there need to work on something with their ventilation. Also.. the cook and the manager (I'm assuming- he was the one who sat us) kept going out the cracked door letting it slam against the table. You can tell they were frustrated. I'm not sure if they were short staffed or what, but I think they should do better when in view of the customer. Also note- this is not a kid friendly place. No kids menu, high chairs, or booster seats. The menu options were solid, didn't seem too pricey to me. I would love to give them another try maybe on a weekday! read more

I wish it was an option for zero stars cause yall in there playing a dirty game. Let's just get into it cause it's a lot. First. Greeter didn't greet my friend she had to have a stare off until she finally was like good afternoon I want a table for 5. Strike 1. Strike 2. Takes 30 minutes to get 1 Coca Cola. 2 mocktails. And 2 actual drinks. And water. This prolly where we shoulda left tbh. But 2 out the 5 keep saying yall food is like THAT. Service just horrid. We'll get to that. Pet peeve of mine is when I try and order and stuff not available. Had my heart set on gumbo. Go to order. No gumbo for the day no pasta.. strike 3. Yall shoulda been out but ima team Player. We sitting across from an exit and they had a chair in the door to keep it open and Everytime somebody walk out it the door clank on the chair loud as hell. That was annoying. Then one of my friends like dang my eyes watering in here what's going on. 10 minutes later. Another friend say the same thing.... 10 minutes later. My eyes watering. All the while the manager running in and out the kitchen looking more stressed than somebody with 4 baby mommas. We ordered apps. We ordered real meals. It's gotta be an hour and a half that passed since we sat down... not a morsel of food. THEN the couple next to us abruptly leave. We like dang Why yall leaving? They like they just told us they not cooking no more food today. Por Que???????? We done been here so long doe we just KNOW we in the batch of food getting cooked. 2 of my friends asked 2 different people like our meal good right? They both say yes. 30 minutes later. Manager come to the table. Kirk like man just tell me the bad news. Do you know dog told us the cooks was refusing to cook and it wouldn't be no more food coming out? So you telling me I just sat in this smoke shop on my good Sunday for 2+ hours and yall not gon give me these fried green tomatoes at the least? Bro said but the drinks on us. Im sorry. Bro did you not think the 47 dollars worth of drinks was on you? You need to give me a voucher buddy! But that would only work if I was going back which I'd never do. I ain't even mention the arguing with the cooks on the manager side, the weird lady clearly nobody like there or the restroom being outta order. I cannot believe yall niggas. read more

We had a large party and they were very accommodating! Our servers and bartenders were attentive ! I recommend! !

The music was too loud for breakfast. We could hear the music before entering. We waited a few minutes to be acknowledged at the hostess stand. I had to walk to a group of employees talking for them to seat me. We sat down waited 5 minutes for someone to bring water. We were told our waitress would be with us. We waited another 5 minutes and left. It was one other person in the restaurant. They were not busy. The staff was standing around talking to each other instead providing service. Disappointed and won't be returning. read more

I wouldn't recommend this spot. We came as a group of four for brunch and had a disappointing experience. Despite several open tables when we arrived, we waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Once we were finally at our table, it took another 20 minutes before a server came by to take our order. It seemed like they were understaffed, especially for a busy holiday weekend. The food was just okay--not enough to make up for the poor service. read more

Me and my homegirls came here for brunch and it was easily one of the BEST brunch experiences we've had in Detroit (we're from Columbus OH) The establishment itself was extremely cozy and clean and the staff was soooo friendly and the food was AMAZING! The chef even came out to talk to us! We will definitely be back if we're ever in Detroit and I suggest that y'all try it out too! read more

I was in town for the holiday visiting from the DMV. It just so happened two other friends of mine from the DMV were also in town at the same time. One of them made a reservation for this restaurant and we were all excited to try it, knowing that it was new and Black-owned. Before I arrived late, my friends were already waiting for about an hour. I expected to see them already seated when I got there and when they were not I thought maybe the whole party had to be present. Come to find out, they just didn't have any tables available to accommodate those who had a reservation. They actually had a pile up of customers who were unable to be seated. There was another issue with items on the menu not being available. One of the hostesses came over and apologized to everyone for the inconvenience and they looked like they were trying to sort out a system to track those that were waiting in the proper sequence, but it didnt seem to be working out very well. We were being patient and understanding and we told the hostess that we would just go to the bar and order a drink while they sorted things out. She then informed us that they did not have their liquor license yet so we would not be able to order any alcoholic beverages from the bar. With a long wait time combined with the disorganization and then not being able to order a drink and chill at the bar as we continued waiting, we opted to leave and go elsewhere. Hopefully, they have things sorted out by now. I will probably try them again one day but no time soon. read more

I can't believe the terrible experience I had at that place! The manager/owner was so rude that it completely ruined our visit. It's shocking how someone in that position could talk to customers like that. I was looking forward to trying the food, but after that interaction, I wouldn't want to go back. Who would want to eat somewhere where they're treated like that? Unbelievable! read more

It's sad to say, I can't say whether or not I would recommend this place but I think it's fair to say upon my arrival for breakfast I was informed the wait would be up to an hour and a half before being seats and maybe longer for the food. The restaurant had several tables open. I just don't understand. We have got to do better people. read more

Sugah Please we won't be back we waited for 30 plus minutes to be seated along with 10 other people. People who seated walked out, one young said she was waiting for 90 mins on her food. There's no hostess ti greet you and let you know if there's a wait. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE read more

First time trying Sugah Please and we went twice in a week. Service was friendly and helpful. Nice downtown location. We are pescatarian so we tried the catfish, shrimp and Salmon dishes. All were delicious and well executed. The catfish was crispy and flavorful. The shrimp were lightly breaded and tender. The salmon was grilled nicely. Portions were good for the price. The bananas foster french toast is a must! We ate too much so we ordered dessert to go. Do yourself a favor and order dessert!!! read more

My friend and I went on a random Monday, and they only had one server. Someone from the back had to come out to help. We had to ask for silverware, we didn't receive condiments, and my drink came out when I was pretty much done with my food. We waited about 45 minutes for the bill, and the list of issues goes on. I won't be back. read more

I was lead to this restaurant by IG _thebreakfasttour . I visited on the day of their grand opening unbeknownst to me. I had an opportunity to meet the owner who greeted me while I was sitting at the bar waiting for my daughter. Very classy lady with a warm and inviting smile. I love soul food and most of the times when I go out the cuisine is hit or miss (because I can cook) well the cuisine at this restaurant was definitely a hit. We enjoyed the catfish and grits. The grits were "chefs kiss" in fact everything we consumed was absolutely delectable. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. This brunch spot had a nice ambiance love the Mardi Gras theme. Go visit you won't be disappointed. Congratulations to the owner on this grand establishment. The service was outstanding. read more
