We came to the North Rosedale Park Community House for the Focus: HOPE Holiday Music Festival in…read moreDecember. I really had no idea what to expect. The event was totally sold out, and packed to the max. The main floor was filled with big, round tables. They had a few options for food like a cheese & fruit platter & chicken tenders. There was wine, beer & soda available as well. The service was pretty good. There is a 2nd floor as well and some people were sitting up there. I think they were the musicians and their family though. The event itself was awesome. I'm not a folk or country music fan, but I love good live music. There was a good variety of music (folk, country, blues, or all of the above). The energy in the room was amazing. This is a charity event that people attend every year. I'm so glad we were invited to attend. The Community House is definitely old & holds a lot of history. I loved the atmosphere & found it to be very intriguing. It definitely needs a lot of TLC, and looks like they're having some serious structural issues. The good news is that they have a plan, and hopefully they'll be able to fulfill the vision for a new Community House. It's clear that the community takes pride in this little landmark.

We had our wedding here this summer and loved it. It's a unique space, and despite a few hiccups,…read morethey worked with us every step of the way and were very helpful, letting us get in the building multiple times to plan out our decorations and drop stuff off the day before the wedding. We were very very pleased with how everything turned out and had really great interactions with everyone who worked there. One note is that they don't provide catering or any other services like that. It worked out fine for us because we were able to bring in the companies from in and around Detroit that we loved.

As a novice of woodworking, I was blown-away by the intricate woodwork and finishings throughout the home. The three ladies that lead our tour of the home shared many interesting details about the property, its restoration, and details of Clara and Henry's years at the estate. Many of the restoration stories, like finding a tub for Henry's bathroom or how Clara had a section repainted white were intriguing. Even though much of the home, especially the second floor, is still being restored it was a fascinating experience.

There wasn't much actually open amongst the majestic-looking buildings while I was there, but the picnic area was hopping. The signage was bilingual-in English and Arabic-and what appeared to be a Yemeni wedding seemed to be taking place. The juxtaposition of the estate of an industrialist (or robber baron, or visionary, or racist, depending on your point of view) with a distinctive immigrant community makes for a striking reflection on Americana. The grounds include some gardens, and a lake with a path around it. Access to the river is limited, but it didn't look like that impressive of a river. The greenery is more worthwhile.

That's the only potential "drawback" really, like if there's too many people you simply might struggle to find a seat. It can and does get completely full. At least you can still take your food to go! I love the set up of having food and drinks inside AND food trucks outside. What a treat. There's coffee, boba, ice cream, sushi, tacos, burgers, chicken and waffles?! And there's some little shops, at least one, which had jewelry when I went. Overall, if you are meeting with someone to chat, come here. If you're hungry, I assure you'll find something. It's good for a casual date or catch up with friends and family. High energy but not chaotic.

This is a cool concept spot with multiple food trucks outside, a few food spots on the inside, and…read morecommon seating areas both inside and outside. You can pay cash at the food trucks or you can use an app (scan a QR code) to order using your credit card. You can order through the app for any of the trucks or inside spots. This is a great way try a bunch of different places in one spot, or, have options for everyone in your family who can't agree on where to go for lunch or dinner. I'll review each of the places we tried below (TL;DR), but overall, food was excellent, delivery was quick (except for one truck...more on that below), atmosphere was good, vibe was relaxed and upbeat, very clean inside, and friendly/helpful staff and truck operators all around. Some prices were a bit high, but we didn't feel like it was extreme based on the quality of food and the ability to easily try different offerings without having to drive all over. The biggest knock was that even though we were greeted right away by a very friendly 'guide' when we walked in, his explanation of how the concept works was confusing and incomplete. We ended up having to speak to the folks running the trucks to better understand how to navigate the ordering process, cash vs credit card, and the ability to order everything from all the different trucks on one ticket, not separate tickets for each truck. Our other disappointment was that we went there for lunch (at 12:30p on the weekend) and the biggest indoor spot we wanted to try told us they weren't opening until 2pm so we'd have to come back later (maybe next time). Here's who we ended up trying: Big Red's BBQ Pit: Holy Smokin' Brisket Burnt Ends Batman! Big Red served up the absolute best burnt ends I've ever had from a food truck, and at the top of the list for all time best that I've had. Perfectly charred, crunchy bark while maintaining a juicy, tender, melt-in-your-mouth perfectly smoked inside. The rub and BBQ sauce were spot-on. Everyone in our family agreed that it was the best thing we tried all day. I guess I could have just said: 10/10 no notes. So Cheesy: Came highly recommended by some friends. A delicious sounding menu with some great options. The Steak Tacos were tender, flavorful, and filled to the max. The cilantro aioli and chipotle crema were flavor-bombs that really brought it all together. Fries were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The Phili-Mignon sandwich was very good, but not quite as good as I was hoping to get based on the description and price. It was on the small side, very bread-heavy, short on steak, and the beet horseradish mayo was lacking the 'kick' I was looking for. Again, perfectly cooked & seasoned fries on the side. This was the busiest truck we ordered from, so the wait time was much longer than all the rest, especially since there was only one guy working. However, while talking to the guy at the Parma truck (more below) after he finished our order, he ran over to So Cheesy to give him a hand in the truck and help push out food. IMHO, I thought this showed a great collaboration and willingness to put the customer first. Overall, a good experience with So Cheesy, but I'd skip the Phili-Mignon Sandwich and opt for a burger (heard others there saying how amazing they were) or their tacos on our next visit. Parma: My wife had the Arugula Insalata and couldn't stop raving about it. She loved the ingredients, flavor, freshness, and size. Possibly one of the best 'bang for your buck' items that we tried. I didn't catch his name, but the gentleman running the truck was super nice, brought my wife's salad inside to her while the rest of us were outside waiting on other food, and even ran over to help the guy in the So Cheesy truck push out orders! Amo Samis Sammies: We tried the Breadless Chicken Shawarma Bowl. It was delicious and piled a mile high with tasty, marinated, tender chicken. The dressing was light and tangy, and the Lebanese pickles were incredible. I initially thought the price was a bit high for a 'bowl', but after seeing how much chicken was stacked on top, it made sense.
