    Chicken,  shack potatoes, roll, and slaw. Great lunch
    John P.

    Old building caught my eye on the way to the airport. Why not? Fried chicken 4 stars, coleslaw 3 stars, shack potatoes 5 stars - potatoes cut in cubes, roasted and serviced in a butter sauce. Yum. The four pieces of chicken - the breast was done perfectly, the thigh and leg a little overdone and the wing overdone. The breading I found excellent, both texture and flavor, and not overly salty. If I lived nearby I would eat every month or so.

    I just read my last review of this place. It was in 2014. The last sentences read "Would I return? probably. Would i hurry nack? Probably not. Well, its 4 years later. Lmao. I just now came back! I really wanted chicken, my BH said Chicken Shack? So we stopped in. JUST FOR THE POTATOES. Still don't care for the coleslaw. Chickens still good. My previous opinions still stand. However, it was much cleaner than i remember. They have drink bags. A new digital menu board. And a new print menu. Service was prompt and pleasant. Mushrooms are still a winner!!!

    Only private owned Chicken Shack we know of for decades. All corporate locations Suck badly. This place has a great owner and crew that care's about the customers. They even bring your meal to your table, how cool is that, Free water cup too unlike Riverview location. Spotless clean restrooms unlike Gibraltar location won't let you use them. Finally got to try the new Spicy Chicken Sandwich WOWED a real winner. Mega Fillet drenched in batter freshly deep fried, it hangs out both sides of the bun. Creamy Slaw n Pickles the lunch special outstanding deal until 4 pm everyday. For only 10 bucks n change you get the Sandwich, Shack Taters smothered with Butter, Coleslaw and a Fountain drink w free refill. Best deal around town by this local chain. She had the Chicken Breast Lunch special for a win. Folks visit this location for the best food and service . #chickenshack @sobeckschickenshack #spicychickensandwich #shackpotatoes #chickenbreast #coleslaw #lowprices #lunchspecial #downriverfriendseat

    Ladies and Gentlemen, you have now entered the best chicken shack establishment in all of Metro Detroit. Whenever the mood hits and a craving for boasted chicken arises, this is the first that come to mind. It's the closest proximity, plus it has the best quality as far as I'm concerned. There's this experiment you can do for its level of authenticity,, you buy a box of chicken. Make sure it's dark meat, because I am a firm believer that white meat is for Americans with no tastebuds. It's like setting yourself up for failure. Now, take a big bite out of a leg or a thigh,, and let the euphoria kick in. The chicken is that good... the quality, the crispness and the way it's seasoned is beyond all other chicken shacks. Trust me when I tell you this, because this spot has been here longer than any other chicken shacks in Metro Detroit. It has stood the test of time and will keep standing long after that as well. It's not just about the chicken, they're have side dishes are out of this world. I, in fact, am a big fan of their boasted potatos. Make sure you take you hold on to something sturdy because these man nuggets of potatoes are smothered in butter. Also there's their fried mushrooms, it's extremely addicting and it goes hella well with any alcoholic beverage. Life is too short to be eating mediocre chicken parts. Weeeeeeeeee

    I could not be happier with my experience at Mink. I came with my son for mother's day and didn't…read morereally know what to expect. When I walked in and saw the tiny space I was charmed. There was a 2 top table at the back that we were seated at - we could have sat at the bar also - and it was a great spot. We ordered the tasting menu and WOW, every course was amazing. I'll post pics because the presentation was gorgeous for each item. They have a small cocktail and wine and beer selection, but that was fine. My son got their Shrub Mocktail and I got the Shrub with Sake. Both were delicious and so interesting. I can't pick a favorite item because they were all so good, but the Torched Mackerel and Poached Bosc Pear were tied for #1, followed by the Salmon, Oysters and the crazy good Blood Orange dessert. The shrimp toast was just ok for me, not bad, just not as good as everything else. Additionally the service was outstanding. For a tiny place they did everything right. They explained each course, brought out fresh utensils for every course - YEA! - and made sure we had good pacing. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and enhanced our meal. I really want to come back and try the oysters and some of the tinned items. I'm so excited I found Mink and will be back for sure.

However, even though we were…read morecelebrating a birthday we did not receive a candle with our dessert and we saw other tables getting candles which was a little disappointing. Most of our dishes were very tasty however I would not recommend the walleye panino. It was just ok and thought they were going to reinvent the fish sandwich but there is definitely other items that were very good. We also decided to go back yesterday for happy hour and sat at the bar and Brynn and Kelsey provided the best service I have had in a long time. They made the best martinis and were so fun and friendly! Our friends were celebrating their anniversary and we all had such a great time talking with them. I mentioned that we didn't a candle with our dessert the week before and they surprised us with pistachio gelato with a candle! It was so thoughtful and we were so thankful for the surprise! We definitely will be back for the happy and the great bar service!

    Yelp considers 3-Stars to be Okay. This visit was a bit better than just okay, but not worthy of…read morefour stars. We arrived at 6:24 for a 6:30 resv and were immediately seated. My first impression: Noisy! Lots of hard surfaces. Difficult to hear the hostess, server and my wife. The tables were appropriately spaced for diners and servers to work with no bump & grind. We started by sharing a dozen oysters and the pear/walnuts salad. The oysters were a bit small-ish; but otherwise, excellent. Server took a drink order from my wife, but skipped me. Eh? I flagged down another server to order a Pino. It took a surprisingly long time to arrive. On the plus side, I was offered a taste to insure it was satisfactory - it was. The pear salad w/walnuts was excellent. The pears were sliced paper-thin. One of the joys of eating a properly ripened pear is the juicy explosion and thinly sliced pears defeat the juicy explosion. If the pears were fully ripe, perhaps cube them? Weirdly; the two sides (mushrooms, potatoes) were served before the entrees. The server noticed, seemed surprised and withdrew the sides, returning with our entrees (lamb shoulder, steak). Then the side returned. Both entrees were warm-ish and the sides were hot. The 14-day, dry-aged steak was ordered medium-rare and was seasoned and prepared as ordered. Again; warm-ish, not hot. I expected better beefy flavor for a dry-aged steak. One end was a bit chewy. Tenderness improved as I got to the other end of the steak. I ordered it with horseradish. I will admit to being a weirdo who loves spicy horseradish (and wasabi) that will clean the sinuses - this was "Ohio-spice'd" horseradish ... not creamy, but less spicy than Arby's Horsey sauce. The mushroom and the potato sides were served hot from the kitchen. Both were excellent, no complaints. The presentation of the steak needs improvement. It was a properly prepared, lonely lump of brown, served on a white plate with cracked ceramic glaze. The lamb shoulder was the better entree. For some reason, my wife was expecting Middle Eastern seasoning. The menu did not mention Middle Eastern seasoning and she did not ask, so that's on her, not the kitchen. I thought it was excellent. Gripe: After the entrees arrived, our server did not return to ask if the entrees were satisfactory. She did return later to ask if we wanted a second round of drinks. We did ... We were offered dessert and ordered, but never asked if we wanted coffee or an after dinner drink. Both desserts were excellent. Will we return? Probably ... not. With tip; dinner for two was $286. At this price point I expect better: Less noise, better beef and flawless service.

    Another spot the BRG did a review. Mid afternoon, good time…read moreno one there. The three of us had the M85 burger. Half a pound burger, here's a switch came with soup. Nice touch! Soup came first 2 cups of lemon drop & 1 clam chowder. Nice start for the meal burgers arrive promptly just the way we ordered medium, toasted bun, lettuce and tomato and American cheese. Fantastic burger, juicy, and filling. Very nice atmosphere lots of car pictures and memorabilia on the walls very clean tables and booths. Nice staff,large parking lot to accommodate crowds. We put this on our return list.

    I finally made it to M85 Diner! I've been wanting to try their Hungarian Mushroom Soup (Thursdays)…read moreand Mushroom Swiss Burger ever since I saw fellow Yelper Al P's "thumbs-up" review and BRG's outstanding 9.4 burger rating. I "hands-down" concur with the guys! I absolutely loved the soup; it tasted like my own beef stroganoff sauce. And IMO, the burger was the best diner burger I've had anywhere in Metro Detroit - perfectly toasted bun, great sear on a well-seasoned, perfectly cooked medium temperature half-pound pattied burger wirh caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, melted Swiss cheese, and a garlic spread. The burger was executed very well and had some great fries which were lightly battered and very crispy. Excellent service and very clean. Overall, an excellent experience. I will definitely be adding this establishment to my rotation.
