We happened to be staying at the hotel across the street from the hotel this bar/restaurant is in. And since there is literally nothing close by except a fast-food restaurant famous for the trillion burgers it has sold, we ate here.
Upon entering we were greeted by the barmaids/waitresses who told us we could sit wherever we like. We sat near the front, to gain a little distance from the bar patrons who were chatting and also to get away from the noise of the TVs. The waitress told us about their specialties, and about their specials and their soups.
We place our orders and it didn't take long to get our food. My wife had a turkey Reuben sandwich and I had a regular Reuben sandwich. I also had a salad and my wife had soup. We were both impressed with how good the food was. I gotta say that the pastrami in my sandwich was tasty and had very little fat. This was among the top three or four that I have ever had.

I go for the food.
And I would definitely...

We placed our orders (2 separate orders of 10 wings), which was quickly delivered to us and were provided with well over 10 wings each (more like 14-15 wings).
Friendly, fast, courteous, and clean. If you need to kill an hour or two before your flight out of DTW, this is a solid...
Read moreFood was 10/12 (Both in portion and taste) Service was 11/12 Prices were also gr8 and so were the drinks, only complaint was the Sweet Tea that was more on the bitter side, but our Wonderfully polite, professional, and very beautiful Server Jill remade us an entirely new pot, that even someone one with the most descriptive vernacular could hardly due justice to how delicious it was. I recommend the mushroom and Swiss Burger, the fish and chips, or the nachos. 10/10 would reccomend...
