    Rueben Egg Rolls
    Julie M.

    This Bistro is sooo cute and nicely decorated!! Myself n my family came to eat here for our birthdays and it did not disappoint!! The menu is just rt and the portions are plentiful!! The servers were very pleasant and one young man knew my son, so they were even able to catch up!! On to our food: I had the Firecracker Shrimp with General Tao's Cauliflower both really really good, my grandson had Chicken n Waffles which he really liked, my son had the Chicken Feta Wrap (huge) by the way n my other son had Rueben Egg Rolls both liked what they had!! Our drinks were also really good, I initially ordered a Kon-Tiki really good but couldn't drink it due to I think a milk allergy so I ended up getting a Pomegranate Long Island along with my son n my grandson had a Dragon Fruit Mocktail Margarita he really enjoyed that and of course plenty of water!! I will definitely be coming back

    This restaurant is located in Wayne. It's about 10-15 minutes from the airport. I just picked up a little something to eat at DTW. Their menu isn't very extensive. I ordered buffalo chicken egg rolls $16. It came with a lime creme sauce. The egg rolls were good. It had a nice seasoning to it. They gave three whole egg rolls that were cut in half. The decor is very modern looking. It's bright and clean. They have a small waiting area that's comfy. We waited about 10 minutes for the egg rolls on a Saturday afternoon.

    AAB was a recommendation by my gf, it's one of her favorite spots. It's not close to either one of us so it's kinda being judged on whether I'd drive all the way out to get it which isn't fair I know. But overall it's a very nice looking restaurant, I enjoyed the food, and the prices are actually pretty decent! Maybe they deserve a five who knows. I had fish tacos and they were good and they provided a large serving, but drive 30 mins away good? Not really. I also had fries, tried the egg rolls and strawberry lemonade... all good, not amazing. But if you live in the area this is a very nice place to have around. Do visit if you're in Wayne.

    Onion soup to go (asked for light cheese). Packed so nicely, with the toasted bread/melted cheese separate so nothing got overly soggy.

    The Avenue continues to be a go to for me. I absolutely love the food and service here!

    Brisket Nachos... YUM!
    Eileen G.

    This place was recommended to try so I took my friend here as part of her all day birthday adventure. We had a 15 minute wait to be seated and the staff were very friendly and hospitable, especially Ava who took my info and was our server as well! My friend and I shared the fried cod sliders which are a good size with the toppings, which made it messy to eat plus the brioche bun fell apart with every bite. The fish tasted good though, I'd still order again. Next we had the Brisket Nachos which were fantastic! They smoke all of their meats and the brisket was tender and Very tasty. Along with the creamy, queso like cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and pickled onions. We had Arnold Palmers to drink. The ambience was inviting, modern and industrial with wood floors, brick interior walls and large windows on the outside. It was frigid outside so inside wasn't too warm with all hard surfaces. A few TVs with sports and news, and noise level was moderate for a Saturday evening. It was still a very enjoyable evening, Ava was very pleasant and attentive and all the right times! I will definitely be back again and highly recommend you go try it out!

    Smoked Wings
    Gab D.

    Had a pleasant experience here on a Wednesday evening for a work dinner with my colleagues. I was able to call and make a reservation the same day and they accommodated a party of 12 easily. Upon arriving (early) our table was already set up and the hostess seated us quickly and our waitress brought out water while we waited for the full party to arrive. Decor was nothing fancy but it was simple and clean with lots of seating and I enjoyed the music they played. Our waitress was great with our orders, checked in on us frequently, and brought out our orders so quickly! We ordered quite a few items from the appetizers to start and everything came out so fast and was delicious! I enjoyed the jalapeño dip, however it tasted mostly cheesy with bacon and not as spicy as I'd like. The quesadillas were great and I loved the wings! We also enjoyed both shrimp dishes, nachos, and (to my surprise) I actually liked the cauliflower! I believe we also ordered the buffalo chicken egg rolls and my colleagues liked them. For dinner, we ordered various salads, tacos, and sliders and everyone really liked their main courses. I ordered the charred brussels sprouts salad and added shrimp and it was perfect! Large portions on the main course so many of us took our dinners home and had lunch the next day! The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the naan that came with the salads. They were lacking in flavor but the salads more than made up for it! I definitely recommend this spot and look forward to returning and trying out some of the tacos and sliders next time!

    Chicken & waffle

    If I could give 100 stars, I would! This was the best meal I've had since moving back to the US from Germany in 2001! Every bite was "wow" all around the table. But let me start from the beginning... This little gem is kind of tucked away in the city of Wayne. There is plenty of parking. It's bright and roomy inside. Upon walking in I was greeted straight away and asked if I wanted a high top or low top table. I mentioned that I had never been here before and I was thanked for coming in. Then the hostess told me about the menu, the craft cocktails, and the soup. She said the waitress would be over shortly to take a drink order while I waited for my friends. Arwa was our waitress - she was fantastic! I asked for a glass of water while I tried to figure which one of the incredible sounding cocktails I wanted to try. She told me about a few of the most popular and added which one was her favorite. I ended up going with the blueberry pancake mimosa. It was excellent! As my friends arrived, I was finishing up a sample of the most incredible chicken dumpling soup I've ever had. Homemade dumplings with a delectable broth, plenty of chicken too! One of the friends asked if she could also try it. And of course, she loved it too. As the soup samples were brought to the table by a food runner, they were presented in a tin serving tray, with a description and a smile to please enjoy. Next came the ordering of our meals! While the menu is small (as it should be for a scratch kitchen), everything sounded so good we had a hard time deciding! They had some specials that were perfectly described by Arwa. We ended up ordering way more food than we could eat, and literally everything on each plate was perfection. Arwa was great - she answered our questions, offered secret menu items, and great descriptions of everything. She also never steered me wrong with her recommendations! On to the food: We started with an order of the. Buffalo Chicken Eggrolls - very obvious these are fresh hand rolled Egg rolls. They are stuffed with buffalo chicken mix, perfect crunch on the fry, and served with a really nice, thick, lime crema. The special of Honey BBQ brisket served in corn tortillas, with street corn were huge, full of flavor and each bite was met with, "wow" and "this is sooo good." My favorite comment was, "they actually used real honey, my lips are sticky!" I told Arwa I was debating between a few things and she recommended the Korean Beef Brisket tacos and holy wow were these amazing! So much flavor in every bite and they were stuffed with brisket and a kimchi style slaw with the most amazing sauce! I was really blown away by the intensity of the flavor (in all the right ways)! I, too, was saying "wow" after every bite! An off the menu item of Chicken and Waffles was also had - and it did not disappoint! Perfectly battered chicken with a nice fluffy waffle and warm syrup. Another "wow!" Because we love mac n' cheese we had a side of that too - it was a Smokey cheesy delight! Another "wow!" We also had to try the garlic parm too - they are a nice crispy shoestring fry - and they are very generous with the portions! Sooo yummy! Then of course, we had to try some desserts. They have several kinds of cake slices from a local bakery. We had carrot cake, red velvet, and strawberry crunch. All were great! Jason, who we all had guessed was an owner and/or executive chef, because of his incredible attitude, focus on customers, and pride in the food, was fantastic too. When he brought food out, he offered suggestions on the best way to have it - for example, "squeeze that lime all over the top of the tacos and enjoy!" As incredible as the food is, I would come back for the customer service alone - every single person who walked by, delivered food, or cleared a plate was so friendly, customer focused, and it seemed like everyone was really proud to be a part of this made from scratch bistro. What a great nod to how this place is run - kudos to the owners and managers of this restaurant for creating such a wonderful atmosphere for employees and customers alike!

    Garlic parm fries
    Alyssa S.

    Pretty popular spot. Came here on a Monday evening for dinner and had to wait 15-20 mins. The menu has a variety of options. My cousin and I split the shrimp and fish tacos. Both were delicious and huge. It didn't come with a side so we ordered the garlic parm fries. That was also really good. Our waitress was super nice and helpful.

    Here's the complete meal, wasn't too bad.  I'm would I come back, probably if I couldn't find a new place to eat at.
    Liem N.

    At first glance I didn't think this place would serve good food to be honest. From the outside it just looked like a typical place thay served bar food and hamburgers. Glad I had the opportunity to walk in see the decor and all the awesome staffs. The waitress was super helpful explaining how everything is served and the portions were respectably decent. I order the Korean brisket tacos, it wasn't too bad but it didn't taste like Korean more like teriyaki. It would have been better it was marinade in kalabi or bulgogi. Let's talk about their smoked chicken wings, it was not smoked nor it smelled like smoke. It was more like deep fired wings and the smoke came from the deep fryer. It was not bad but I was expecting smoked wings.

    Food here is always yummy and I like their seasonal drinks the cheese crusted Quesadilla is so good! The parking lot isn't big enough for how busy they get though and there is a part of the lot that looks like it is a exit but really isn't and would destroy your car. Which is located closest to the side of the building.

    Sprout Salad
    Jeffrey R.

    Fresh and Modern interior still seems inviting. Full service and a scratch kitchen is hard to find. Nothing is frozen with, high quality and organic produce. The flavor combinations are unique and delicious. I especially enjoyed the Brussel Sprout Salad and the General Tso Cauliflower. Tacos and Sliders are served with two and the servings are very generous. Our servers explained the entire menu and made excellent suggestions. It was too early for drinks but those sound delicious as well. Treat yourself.

    Korean Beef Brisket tacos
    Cat C.

    Landed in DTW and went looking for dinner outside the airport. Looking on Yelp (of course!), came across this bistro in nearby Wayne. They don't take reservations so they have a waitlist. We waited 25 minutes for a table. The dishes we ordered (sliders, fries and tacos) were just delicious! Portions were generous. The noise level was a bit loud. Service was good and friendly. We love that everything was made from scratch. My advice is to get on the waitlist before you get there. Will definitely be back!

They have some great drinks here other than cider though too. We started with the mac and cheese balls. Small portion of six and they were bland unless you dunked it into the sauce. Where was the pepperjack? Not bad but not what we were expecting. Dinner itself was fabulous. My husband loved his shrimp tacos. Generous with both protein and toppings. I went with the Ahi tuna California bowl. Huge bowl full of rice, crisp fresh veggies, creamy avocado and a solid portion of perfectly seared tuna. I loved both the sauces and mixing and matching each bite. The halved cherry tomatoes, shedded carrot and crunchy cucumbers really provided that textural contrast and colorful appeal. Yum. Service was fast, accurate and friendly. Atmosphere was very sports bar still but airier and brighter somehow. Plenty of TVs with the Masters on though. We took a prime rib dip sandwich to my dad and a cobb salad to my mom and they were equally delighted. My husbands already thinking about which app we'll try next time. We will be back soon.
