...it's more than all right, it's excellent. I visited my brother in Detroit last week and we came to the Dime Store twice for breakfast. The first day I had the Spicy Belly Benny, pork belly on a biscuit topped w/two eggs and hollandaise sauce. I loved it. The second time I had the Duck Bop Hash, duck over home fries topped w/two eggs. It was maybe bit salty for me, but still delicious. Their regular omelettes also looked good, but their Bennys and Hash dishes were great. Nice environment, good service, fair prices. I don't think you can beat this place for a quality breakfast.

Hudson Cafe had a very large selection of creative and standard brunch choices. We tried the Waffle, Eggs, Ham, Fruit & Pancakes, and Omelet. All were beautifully presented and delicious. The staff was efficient and helpful. Portions were very large - large enough for two meals!

Parks & Rec Diner

I'm so happy we found this place! We hit the sweet spot on a saturday morning with no wait time, but 10 minutes later there was a line out the door. Everything we ate was amazing. They have a few really unique items. The staff were all nice and helpful toward each other. It's very small so waiting could be an issue, I think it would be worth the wait.

The Brooklyn Street Local

Reviewed By Jonathan I

Moving back to the Detroit area, I was excited to experience the growth and revitalization of the city. Corktown is a perfect example, and so is the idea of Brooklyn Street Local. Sustainable local sourcing, composting + recycling, community involvement, and the unique, inspiring story of the founders and how the restaurant came to be. I was excited! Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to the hype. I ordered the Vegan poutine and the Traditional with tempeh and tofu at the recommendation of our server. The fries were limp and the gravy was cool on the poutine and the Traditional, while pleasant to the eye, was way underseasoned on all fronts. Maybe they were having an off day or there was a new chef in the kitchen. The execution just wasn't there unfortunately. I hope that these kinks will be worked out in the future and the execution and service will rise up to the concept.

Cafe DIA

Reviewed By Maryann B

This is the perfect place for a rest and some food. You can get pasta, salad, cold sandwiches, pizza, or a grilled sandwich. The Philly Steak sandwiches were really good, service wasn't. The cook was not capable of grilling up one order at a time so we waited in line forever. He could not multi task. The lady in front of me, who is an employee, had to remind him that she only had 1/2 an hour for lunch, and it was taking too long. But like I said, the food was very good.
