So we hit the road for the last time this season with the US Nationals in Plymouth Michigan. I am looking for great place to eat while there can be in or around this area no more than about 1 hour from Plymouth if possible. This is not about wine or the dining experience but rather great food good pricing would be ok also but just not a chain. Something local and good. Thanks for any help you can provide.
If you would be interested in Middle East, which Detroit does extremely well, Phoenicia in Birmingham (more upper end) or Al-Ameer in Dearborn (more casual) would be good choices. Other good options and the contact info for these two restaurants are here The 38 Best Restaurants in Detroit, Winter 2023 - Eater Detroit
All these are great thank you for the suggestion please keep them coming. We have been to Ann Arbor for 3 competitions this year and many in the past so we have a good feel for Ann Arbor I am looking for Detroit and suburbs. Like I said the competition is in Plymouth but I will go to the Lifetime in West Bloomfield to work out, so looking for local suggestions heading east I guess. Also Detroit like Chicago has a bit of reputation. I you actually live here you know that your likelihood of actually encountering any crime or violence is dependent on your actions and awareness so i am not apposed to going to Detroit proper. thanks again in advance please keep the thoughts coming
Can you narrow the type of restaurant you want? Deli, Chinese, Mexican,Italian, Middle East, thincrust or thick crust pizza,BBQ, all come to mind. I live in West Bloomfield. I used to live in Manhattan when it was dangerous. You can go anywhere in Detroit and you will generally be fine.Detroit has become the new Brooklyn in many locations.
Thanks Jim No it maybe a group of us so type of food not really the things as much, for me, great food and drinks reasonable pricing and something i would not have access to in IL. The places you would take out of towner to show off your city with out trying to be stuffy
http://tomatoesapizza.com/ 24369 Halsted Road Farmington - New Haven pizza - my favorite pizza in Michigan
Jennifer’s Cafe 4052 Haggerty Rd, Commerce (http://jenniferscafe.net/) Carrot soup and maurice salad (get it chopped) - this place is nothing to look at, and no atmosphere AT ALL, but good food
