Lager House — Restaurant in Detroit

I honestly can't pin how long I've been coming here for beers and awesome local bands but as I've entered the back end of life I love that I can still come here for an amazing brunch. I love that in adapting to the New Corktown of modern Detroit they didn't change the aesthetics or rock n roll roots of the place.

I'm constantly dallying with the idea of being a vegetarian and I love that they have vegetarian options. I've been here a couple of times for brunch, so this will encompass all the food I've tried.

First up, the Shrimp & Grits. This has been a current phase I've been going through, so whenever I see it on the menu I am bound honor and fealty to order it. I've gone though this with Steak & Eggs, Benedicts, and most recently Chicken and waffles, so I wonder how long this will last. This was a a different way than I've had it before. Instead of the grits being made in the traditional way, it was formed into a grits brick and the sauce almost like a soup or broth with the shrimp in it. Completely different than I've had in the past, but no less delicious. Whatever the sauce they use to flavor the dish is, it is wonderful and the shrimp is perfectly cooked.

On a previous trip I tried the hash and it was another dish I really enjoyed. One if my biggest complaints lately has been what I consider the undercooking of taters but these were brilliantly crisp and the combination of spices and flavors spot on.

Finally, the Scramble. I know none of these dishes sound especially exciting or unique but I think that's irrelevant when it comes to good food. I've seen places screw up grilled cheese and tomato soup, so never take delicious for granted. The scramble fits this perfectly. It was a perfect made breakfast that did everything it was supposed to with great flavor and minimal flair. If that doesn't fit the personality of PJ's I don't know what does.

This is just one of those spots that just feels like home to me and I look forward to every time I get...

This joint is pretty much like walking into the coolest friends house with decent pours, good food at a super fair price to portion ... and there’s sweet live music almost ALL the time! Go early, grab drinks - eats and laughs. It’s easy to hang out, and just keep the fun rollin’ into the night with a great cross-cut of live bands. All the way from Detroit original acts to, supporting the diehard road-warrior bands, which gains my respect. This venue also sports a vinyl/thrift shop downstairs in the basement. So be sure to check it out, there’s lots of hidden gems to call your own to sift through if you just need to take a break from being upstairs at the club. Vinyl is not dead, and PJs has you covered! Usually there is a cover/door charge, usually after happy hour. Mostly this door charge is to support the live bands for the night! It’s important to note, PJ’s also throws down many fundraising events and community based activities in this well rounded local hangout. Be sure to hit the sweet beer garden area out back and get your photo taken by the iconic red -white and blue, Wayne Kramer MC5 mural .... and don’t forget to#tag that action ... cause PJs pretty much IS what “Detriot Rock City” was founded on....showcasing local talent and still keeping us happy with great food, drinks, and cool vinyl collection, but most of all ... a welcoming neighborhood feel. This is an interesting. place to land for a few hours when your...
