    Stopped in for lunch with a few friends. Service was excellent. Quick, attentive, and friendly. Cool vibe in there; not busy when we went. Now onto the food. I had high hopes for the chicken, but it fell flat. I ordered the drumsticks. Almost zero crisp to the coating was disappointing. Additionally, it needed a bit more seasoning. It was fine. It was not bad at all. It just didn't stand out and I wanted some crisp. I also tried the chicken sandwich. This was a bit better, but again, the chicken was the worst part. The honey was great (didn't detect any heat though). I also ordered the spoonbread which was a bit dry, but had pretty good flavor. The best bite I had was from the green beans which was very very good (highly recommend). Overall, the food was fine, but nothing special.

    Perfect place to walk to after a DSO show. Went for lunch after morning show. Had reservations although probably didn't need and was seated immediately. The service was great and fast. Introduced entire menu to us. The hush puppies were outstanding. The sauce they serve with was so good, I asked for some with my chicken. I would go back for this dish alone. Fried chicken is good. Green beans were okay.

    Quick find close to our hotel in heart of Detroit. So glad this meal was everything a very hungry gal needed! The chicken sandwich with and order of fries was handed over freshly made, hot! The piece of chicken was plump, juicy, crunchy and bursting with such seasoned flavor! I typically need more spread on a sandwich but ther was more than enough spicy mayo with the slaw that meshed well. The slaw wasn't no ordinary topping either.. spice no tang! Oh and those garlic herbed doused fries with aioli ... hand- dipping crazy delight!

    How many reviews will I end up giving this very Welcoming Restaurant..... We are beginning to know the staff. First A friend of ours is Moving and a few of us "ladies" wanted a " gonna miss You " dinner. Actually girls night out....Eagles was the ONLY Restaurant in Downtown Detroit that was willing to offer private seating and... ( this is HUGE) give individual checks. That worth 10 s alone. The way staff was Welcoming, Travis and personally steps in to let Yiu know You are important. Travis leads a Good Team....our group was kinda "askie" yet Shira our Waitress went past anything expected to make everyone feel special Because there were 11 of us she confirmed everyones order. The Bar tender the Staff that cleared the table did everything " just so" My only fear in posting this review is that everyone will go,and I won't be able to get back in... Oh the food Well see the photos You can't go wrong, GO

    Very good with lots of flavor .. if you love flavor you will love this comfort food. Reasonable prices and savory. I'm a sit a the bar girl so great interaction with the bar tender so love the service from Govan.. Ambiance very nice booths and plenty of seats to enjoy the people watching on Woodward.

    We were quickly seated and greeted which was wonderful for a busy Friday night. Our drinks were just okay -- we ordered a pitcher and when it arrived it didn't taste like much of a cocktail so we sent it back and just ordered cocktails. Our dinner was good. I especially enjoyed the burnt ends that came with a delicious ranch dipping sauce. And the spoon bread is a must to accompany the fried chicken with the hot honey sauce!

    Holy moly this food is incredible. We ordered 1/4 chicken-dark meat, spoon bread, collards, and shrimp and grits. Where do I start-the chicken was so well seasoned and when hot honey is added it is out of this world. The shrimp and grits were savory and spicy and a bite of collards cuts through the richness and adds freshness to the spread. The spoon bread was absolutely incredible as well. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We will absolutely be back.

    Stopped in here last night and had heard such great things about it. We had a reservation and were sat quickly. Unfortunately, our drinks took about 20 minutes (2 lemonades) to get to our table and our appetizers came out at different times. The hush puppies were fresh and hot. Once we got our entrees, one of the appetizers came out with it but majority of the food was cold. I got the chicken sandwich, which was probably the best meal out of everyone's. For the sides: -Mac and cheese lacked flavor -The biscuits were thick, which was nice -The fries were cold Our server was nice, which helped the other issues. Overall, it was an okay experience but I wasn't fairly impressed.

    The service was good but I can't say I loved the food. The place is conveniently located on Woodward so you can grab a bite to eat before you head out to any event going on downtown. They are a sister restaurant to Bakersfield's, which is located across the street just down one block. I inhaled my food only because I was starving. The chicken is chicken and the Mac and cheese is plain noodles with a cheese sauce spread ontop with some bread crumbs. I came here during happy hour. It was empty so I easily grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was attentive and helpful. It's a spacious place with plenty of seating and TVs to catch any game you'd like to watch. I paid my bill and left my drink on the counter. Would I come back? Nah! One star for the service and another one for the cleanliness of the restaurant.

    The Eagle Detroit located on Woodward Ave Downtown Detroit, MI Food: My group ordered two (2) chopped Cobb salads and the Spicy Chicken Dip. The dip was delicious, I wish they had larger portions nevertheless delicious! The Chopped Salad was delicious also full of all kinds of veggies and a great dressing. Service: Great service, friendly and accommodating. Ambiance: I loved the wooden accent throughout this establishment. Large bar area and plenty table seating.

    Mac and Mac & Cheese

    You expect the food not to be lukewarm if you're the only patrons! Manager didn't supply the happy hour menu and it was 3:45, happy hour starts at 4. Ambiance was cozy and walking distance from LCA

    Stopped in however didn't have reservations. We were able to get a seat but they asked that we keep it short. We were willing to do so since there was reservations for the table in an hour. The wait staff was polite and helpful. The food was great. Not sure you can get bad food here. The spicy honey sauce was amazing. The Mac n cheese is creamy. It was all good. Not a huge place but felt like it was the perfect size. They do have a large bar as well. Great stop! Get reservations on the weekend.

    Was reached out by the restaurant after my first experience didn't go that well and they generously comped my friend's and I's meal! We ordered SO much: fried chicken BLT, fried chicken, southern chopped salad, spoonbread, collard greens, fries, and homemade biscuits. Our main favorites were the southern chopped salad, fried chicken BLT, and the biscuits. Never thought a salad would be so good but man, it was delicious and fresh! The fried chicken was crispy and so tender. And the jam paired with the biscuits? It was perfection! The service was amazing and I appreciated how they cared to ensure I had a great experience!

    I appreciated an article written about the dress code and fine dining attitudes of this…read moreestablishment. I purchased gift cards during Covid to help support local restaurants during shut down, and I was pleasantly surprised that we could still use them in 2026! We had tried to use them in 2022, but were told the restaurant was small and could not accommodate our party of 8, even early on a Sunday. Fast forward 4 years! We made a reservation for a party of 4. It would've been nice to know the restaurant was on the second floor with no elevator, but perhaps that is my lack of inquiry. We were warmly greeted. Our server was absolutely fantastic! She made wonderful recommendations, and our meal was delicious! We had the crab dip, cornbread muffins, fried chicken and catfish entrees with yams and collard greens. Our family is from the South (KY, NC, TN, VA, MS, & AL) and we cook southern food on a regular basis. The yams were perfectly cooked and sweetened. The collard greens had just enough density, not runny or too salty. YUM!!! The chicken was tasty and moist. Catfish was seasoned and prepared perfectly and absolutely delicious also. Served with Frank's! We finished it off with the skillet cookie dessert, shared by all. A great way to end a really wonderful meal. The restaurant wasn't busy, so food service could've been a little faster, but we enjoyed a leisurely early dinner. My only other comment is that with glass top tables, you almost have to use Windex when tables turn over. The water streaks on all the glass top just make it look more like a greasy spoon or diner and does not do justice to the great service or the quality of the food. I don't usually do catfish at home, so we will be back for more!

    This was my 2nd time here n as usual it didn't disappoint but in 1 area!! But we'll get to that!!…read moreThe ambience was good but it was crowded, so we decided to order everything at once! We ordered a Kale Salad (really good) didn't get the pic cuz we was hungry then into the main course: my son has the Times Square Lamb (which should of been cooked medium but wasn't) but he still enjoyed them, he also had the Cheddar Risotto I had something I never tried b4 at my son n the bar tender's suggestion I had The Whole Red Snapper n then had the Vanilla Crème Brulee for desert (no pic of that either) ‍ but it was delicious! We will be back but it was very busy so we sat at the bar n enjoyed 2 drinks each

I got the deuces, which is two meats, two sides, and bread and pickles for $19. The pulled pork was great, the mashed sweet potato's and baked beans were phenomenal. I would go back just for the sides! The reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5, the chicken thigh was OK. The deuces allows you to pick two types of meat, but there's a $5 upcharge for brisket & ribs aren't available so you can only choose between pork, chicken thigh, or vegetarian bbq at that price.. hence why I got the chicken thigh.

I called right away, and instead of offering a refund or a simple fix, they required me to drive back and return the incorrect sandwiches before they would remake them. That meant finding parking again and waiting while the new order was prepared. By the time I finally got home, all of the food was cold and hard. On top of that, the vegetarian "mock meat" had a strange spoiled taste. Mind you we regularly eat this exact meal. Overall, it was a frustrating process and the food quality did not make up for the inconvenience. I wouldn't order again based on this experience.
