We have both been to Shewolf and I don’t want to suggest Giovanni’s.

Metro or in the city!

Thanks!

And hot damn can that dude play the piano!

that's all. the beer is by and large mid, but they toss a mean dough.

I know restaurant recommendations, listicles, and awards listings for restaurants pop up here frequently. We've seen restaurants come and go this year in addition to old favorites.

As we enter 2025 I'd love to know what dishes and meals you've loved in and around Detroit in 2024, including anything small, fast or casual.

For my money, it really is the best pizza in town. The Madison Heights location has round deep dish in addition to square.

I've always been confused by their slogan, "Better, because it has to be." Like, better than Little Caesar's? Better generally, because it's important to the company that they produce the best product possible? Is some outside person or agency forcing them to be better? What does it mean what does it mean?!

The Royal Oaker is the second best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.

Go!

I recently learned it's illegal to have alcohol on Belle Isle without a permit? Has anyone ever actually gotten in trouble for this?

Got a pizza from there today and my god it was almost awful. Still better than Little Ceasars or Jet's but clearly not up to their world-class standards. Seems like since Covid I can't get a good pizza anymore. Am I wrong?

I used to regular Detroit Institute of Bagels, what else ya got?

Chicken Shack used to have really good fish. They must have changed their vendors. They're not as good anymore. What do y'all think? Who should we go to instead.

Finally checked this place out for some German food and not only was it a cool place, the food was awesome! I may be biased, because I’ll never say no to German potato salad and sauerkraut. Service was great too. It’s been around since the 30s.

I’m curious how much you guys paid for a dozen eggs given the new cage-free requirement that started this year (and the avian flu).

Thanks!
