    We expected food trucks, but I think because it's late in the season (i.e. normally cold), food was served from the indoor kitchen. But we weren't disappointed! We sat outside on the patio, because it was a balmy fall night, and we thoroughly enjoyed the setting while chowing down on some delicious food! Between us, we got three different types of sliders, garlic Romano fries, Cajun-seasoned soft pretzels, jerk chicken tacos, and sweet potato black bean tacos. Yum, yum, yum! Hubby also ordered a drink - a tequila sunrise - and it was well made. For the three of us, with drinks, the total was $50ish plus tip. I feel like that's a pretty good deal. I could see this being an absolute riot in the warmer months. We shall return.

    Detroit Fleat is a great place! They haves standard house menu with sliders, tacos, salads, loaded fries, etc., as well as a rotating schedule of local food trucks. They also have a full bar with seasonal specials. My favorite thing on the menu is from the dessert section ... cinnamon sugar pretzels. They come warm, coated in cinnamon sugar, and served with a thick maple cream sauce. Sooo good. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, so whether you're into cozy indoor hangs or playing some yard games on the patio, you'll find a place here.

    Tacos and nachos

    Pretty solid spot for extensive drink offerings and sold good eats. I've gone past this place a lot, and there are rarely any people here at night. I think they get a lot of the lunch crowd when the food trucks are in the parking lot. Beers were good but a couple bucks more than some of the other places nearby. Ordered nachos with chicken - everything on it was great but the chicken (tad dry). Would have preferred it to be served on a bigger platter than in a cardboard tray. Fish tacos were good. Would come back for quick eats.

    Very unique way of doing business. You can scan the code and order right from your phone. It will allow you to run a tab. You can keep adding to it and cash out your order only, if you're with a group or pay the bill on full. If technology isn't your thing, you can place your order the old fashion way. It was something that I couldn't get with here. We were brought out waters, no straw. I asked for one but, it never came. The staff just wasn't welcoming like I'm used to people in the service industry being. Spent close to $60 for 4 tacos, one burger with fries and loaded bbq chicken fries. I came, I saw, I ate.

    Best Happy Hour. Delicious margaritas!!! Enjoyed the open patio, it was a great summer afternoon.

    We had other places to venture to so we only stopped in for a quick snack and a couple drinks. I'm glad we did. Ashley was so kind and helpful with menu suggestions. We chose the pretzels with beer cheese. Delicious choice it was indeed. I can't wait to go back

    We went to the Winter Cocktail Workshop last night at this adorable, little place, tucked away in Ferndale. It was so much fun. They have igloos for the winter too. I love that. Food was very delicious. Food trucks too, summer only I think. The bartender and our waitress were friendly and helpful. It worth the stop in and check it out! Cheers

    So much potential. But so much room for improvement. The biggest issue with Detroit Fleat is that you have no idea what's happening when you get there. The hostess situation was a real problem. We put our name on a list and were told it was a 45 minute to an hour wait for a table. We didn't know if we could get in line in any of the food trucks prior to that or even just stand around and eat and we could not get answers. We really weren't sure what we were supposed to do with ourselves so we ended up going for a walk in the area. When we got back we wait waited a little bit more and finally got seated. Then we tried to figure out what to do next. We went to the line for cousins Maine lobster, but also try to figure out how to get a drink and other food. It shouldn't of been complicated and it really wasn't except that nobody knew what to tell us. In line at Cousins, after placing the order we were told it would be another 45 minutes because they were really busy. Hindsight we should've just gotten our food and seeing if a table is ready at that time. But that wasn't what we were told to do. Now for the good part. The food was very tasty. From Detroit fleet we got the garlic Brussel sprouts and fries. Yum. We loved both. We got lobster rolls from Cousins and these were delicious. It was a nice environment and a perfect evening outside. So overall a good time. But they need better communication for sure.

    Chips & Dip

    i had this delivered by grub hub, so the review is just on food and not the service. I had a jerk chicken taco (2tacos) and a beefy boy (2 tacos). I think problem number one is we ordered close to closing time. The jerk chicken taco with the corn was actually great. Nice flavors, nice amount and right amount of heat. The beefy boy was really missing the beef!! Ironic considering the name. The small amounts we received were just bland. Nothing special about this one and neither of us finished it. We also ordered a side of chips and salsa. Chips were missing salt and the salsa was missing everything that makes it's salsa!! Not impressed with this one which is sad because we were excited about it..

    Fleat has been known as a permanent food truck park for some time. It's a cool setup, where you can order from different trucks, and then find yourself a table to enjoy your meal. Covid, plus the weather, changes the equation. Food is still served, but you don't go to a truck to order it. You can order through an app from the table, or go to a counter and place your order. Heated igloos are set up in the parking lot, replacing open tables, or you can sit indoors. I wanted to watch the football game, so we sat next to the fireplace. The drinks were very reasonable. A strong Moscow Mule sets you back six dollars. A potent pint of draft beer costs the same. They were plenty of great options on tap. The food showed up quickly. I ordered the slider trio for $15. The fried chicken sandwich was amazing: crispy and well seasoned on the outside, but juicy on the inside. The hamburger slider was small, but with a lot of beef flavor. The whiskey BBQ slider was similar, but with barbecue sauce that distracted from the flavor of the beef. Next time, I am going to try the veggie slider instead. There are a variety of different fries available, all of them crispy steak fries. I got the Parmesan garlic fries, which or suddenly seasoned. My wife usually loads up on ketchup, but she said they were so tasty if she didn't need any. Despite cheap drink prices, prices add up because everything is separate. Dinner and 1 drink each for 3 set us back $90 with tip included (which you leave at the counter when you place your order). Portions aren't huge, but what you get is very good.

    Today was my third time here and maybe my last. It's too bad because it's 2 miles ish from my home, and the space is super cute and perfect when the weather is nice. The first time we did the igloo, which was nice but was freezing despite the heaters. The second was ok. Today was absolutely ridiculous. First of all, the online system is completely useless and you don't actually have a server who checks on you so when I couldn't get the stupid thing to work, I had to go up to the bar to ask someone and they basically admitted to me that the app doesn't work right and sucks. So why not get rid of it and give us a server like a normal place? The app wouldn't let me check out or add anything to a tab. The pretzel bites are ok, but they are way too overcooked and the seasoning is weird. The cheese is good, however. I got a salad and it was truly disappointing- mostly just lettuce with a few pieces of vegetables and was $11. Never again. I think I'll stick to just drinks in the future if I decide to return. Oh, there was a literal hair in my salad after all of that.

    Trio Sliders with Salt & Vinegar Potato Wedges and Bang Bang Dipping Sauce

    I visited Detroit Fleat for the first time in about 3 years. I made reservations for their Wednesday Trivia night a month ago, and prior to our visit I saw a few negative reviews regarding the service which made me a bit nervous. Thankfully, we had a great experience! When we arrived we were quickly shown to our reserved table. There is a QR code on the middle of the table that you can scan with your phone, and you can both order and pay from the website. It automatically inputs your table number, and when your items are ready someone brings it out to you. This was probably the easiest ordering experience I've ever had. A server did bring us waters when we sat down, but all other items were ordered from the QR code. You also have the option of ordering at the bar. We did have pop, and when we needed a refill we went to the bar as there was no line. I am unsure if a server would have come to our table for refills, but we had no problem asking for our own at the bar. We started off with the buffalo chicken dip appetizer. The flavor of the dip was good, but it was on the runny side and could have benefited from more chicken in the dip. You definitely have to be a fan of buffalo sauce in order to enjoy this. The chips were good, however I would not order this again unless the dip was revamped. For our main we ordered the Slider Trio with the Buttermilk Fried Chicken slider, the Whiskey Bacon slider, and the Classic slider. All three were amazing. The house party on the Whiskey Bacon and Classic slider had a great flavor and was not overcooked. The Classic was straightforward, but had a tasty sauce that made it my favorite of the trio. The fried chicken had great flavor in the breading, and the garlic aioli was a nice touch that brought it all together. I added a side of their potato wedges to the order. You can choose a flavor for your wedges (I went with salt & vinegar) and they have numerous dipping sauces that come with it (I chose bang bang). For dessert we ordered the cinnamon sugar pretzels, which came with a maple bourbon cream for dipping. The pretzels were a little on the flavorless side, and could have benefitted from more butter and cinnamon sugar. The dipping cream also tastes mostly of cream cheese. This was a large portion, but overall it fell flat. I would not recommend it. Detroit Fleat is definitely pricey. Our meal plus nonalcoholic drinks ran about $60 with tip. However, the trivia night was fantastic so overall it was worth it for a unique night out. I would highly recommend the Slider Trio and a full order of their potato wedges. I would also be interested in trying another one of their appetizers, but I would skip their dessert options. Depending on the night there are also different food trucks that stop by, so that may offer some additional options as well. If you are interested in reserving a table for trivia, it looked like they were full for the next 4-6 weeks so book early inorder to enjoy the fun!

    Amazing kid area! It was a total surprise and so stinking cute! Activities for all types of kids if all ages.

    Can I give more than 5 stars? This place was enticing from instagram pictures but let me tell you it not only lived up to the hype, it was better than I expected. First off, the staff was friendly. And not that half smile when you bring your toddler in, like one genuinely nice interaction after another. The food and drinks are ordered from a QR code on the table and came out very fast ! We ordered the bbq pork salad (much bigger portion than I anticipated!), the fried chicken sandwich, kids tenders and fries, and salt and vinegar fries. ALL of it was so good. The happy hour beer is $3.50 . Um what. excuse me? I have found my new place! The kids area took us by surprise, I just assumed this food truck place was outdoor and my daughter can run around for 30 min while we eat and it'll be good. We stayed for 3 hours! The kids set up is great for kids of different ages and has enough to play with that kids didn't fight over anything, in fact the kids were playing together. It was awesome to sit down and eat my meal next to the kids area where my kid could play and have fun. Did I mention how I found my new favorite place!?! Only downside, super minor, and specific to summer, but there were quite a few bees around. Like 5-6 at our table, swarming us, not sure how to combat that but be wary! Also parents, if you're visiting in the afternoon bring sunscreen. Other than that enjoy a fun night out with the kids, amazing food, great drinks and good vibes!

    Do i have to make reservation for outdoor seating?

    I did not on Saturday and they were pretty busy. Still got a table. Wouldn't hurt to make a reservation.

    Are they still doing the igloos? If so how do you reserve one?

    You can do it online or give them a call

My wife ordered the Beet & Salmon Salad, while I chose the Crispy Chicken Club with white cheddar and house-smoked bacon. The sandwich was absolutely incredible--hands down the best crispy chicken club I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the combination of flavors was outstanding. I also stole a few bites of my wife's salad and was pleasantly surprised by the yellow beets. I'd only ever had red beets before, and both varieties were prepared beautifully. The salmon was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with the fresh ingredients.

As we followed our greeter to our table I kept screaming in my mind "no no no no no not that table no!" and she sat us at a table in full blasting sun. Nevermind the fact that there was a whole shaded section in the back part of the patio area. The rest of my group said it was fine and a beam of sun slowly bore a hole through my chest. Drink orders were up. I ordered a fabulous cross between a Moscow Mule and a Mojito. A+++ for the drinks. Mine was loaded with fresh mint from their garden. Same grade for our waitress who explained the drinks in detail and ended with "ugh- are you sure you want to sit at this table straight in the sun?" The other two said it was fine. I was ready to move, but was out voted. She continued to check in regularly and brought extra water. Most items on the menu were hot. I considered the fish, but we all landed on appetizers and we would just bounce from place to place for bites and drinks. We ordered the charcuterie board and the lavender lemon whip with bread and cucumbers for the 3 of us. The charcuterie board was the large version and had minimal offerings. It wasn't full and pretty. It was little piles of each thing on a board. This one definitely wasn't making it into Better Homes and Gardens magazine. There was a little pile of mixed nuts, a little pile of lose green grapes, a little pile of lose red grapes - not all grapes pristine or large and none were on the vine. There were 3 little piles of cubed cheese and 2 types of sliced sausage and sliced pepperoni. There were 8 crackers that were wheat thin size. This matters because we had some onion jam on the board and a nice serving of mustard. There really wasn't anything to put them on except for the 8 little crackers. That part was weird. These weren't elevated offerings. I could have picked up any of these at Walmart. They were not elevated quality either. We also got a lavender lemon infused whip which was their answer to tzatziki sauce. It was excellent but again, we were given so much of the sauce without a bunch to put it on. The cucumbers were sliced lengthways and there was a lovely bread that tasted like sourdough. There was 6 pieces of bread, and these were not particularly large pieces. A lot more would have been needed to use all of the sauce they gave. The proportions were off. All together the bill was over $100 for the 3 drinks and appetizers. If I ever did go back I won't order food based on what I experienced. There are too many other great options within walking distance.

Just one burger option and limited toppings. Server was very nice but didn't write down the order, and when it came my burger was missing the cheese and onion. I wasn't sure if they would take it back or what so I didn't eat anymore and it took her a decent amount of time to come and check on us after we got our food. I let her know what was missing and she said it was her fault and asked if I wanted it fixed. I said yeah and she went and got a cold piece of cheese and slice of onion and put it on a plate and gave to me to put on my own burger. I'd expected a little bit better service and I'm certainly not someone who demands top tier service from every spot. Fries were crispy but needed some parm or an aioli sauce to dip in. Also minor note but I had some fries left on my plate and when she came to collect plates I had food in my mouth so I couldn't say anything but she took the plate and my fries! They should always ask if there's any food left on the plate. Burger was decent overall, but definitely nothing special. Environment was cool and I'm sure they have got some other delicious items on the menu but for the price paid and service received, I'd go somewhere else next time.

The host is in the front said at the end of 32 oz is your bracelet will not work and you need to come up and see me to reset it. I guess that's how they would monitor whether or not someone could get another 32 oz? I'm surprised not more places have copied their business layout.

Then someone politely said y'all must be looking for downstairs. Sure were! As it turned out, we were escorted downstairs to what people refer to as the Vinyl Room. The vinyl turntables that night were replaced with computerized ones. The vibe was unsurpassed and the drinks were tasty. I'll be back when I need the good time again.

They were just opening up, but they let us sit at the bar while they got the restaurant ready for dinner. We all got drinks at the bar. I got The Final Rose drink. its's very pretty and not too strong. After sipping on the drinks, the host brought us to our table. Chris was our server that day. He was super friendly and answered all of our questions regarding the menu. Here's what we got: - Michigan lamb ragu (his) - Lobster and shrimp pad thai (mine) - Crab and shrimp cakes (share) - clam chowder (share) His family got some of the same items, but I can't remember the different items they got. The overall consensus though was that everything tasted fantastic. Coming from the Bay Area, I have high expectations when it comes to Asian food, so I was pleasantly surprised by how great the pad thai tasted. The clam chowder was creamy and delightful. The crab cakes were the perfect size and not teeny tiny. The lamb ragu was very well done also and my husband is a big fan of lamb so he really enjoyed his meal. Since we were there early, it was quiet which was nice. Would definitely return in the future the next time I am in Michigan.

    Amazing food and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique dining…read moreexperience.

    I recently stopped by The Corner Grill, Bar + Game Room with a coworker who was celebrating his…read moremom's birthday, and let me just say -- the energy in that place is a whole vibe. From the moment we walked in, you could feel it. Great music, lively crowd, and just an overall fun atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing -- everything was plated beautifully and smelled even better. Even just watching dishes hit the tables around us had me planning what I'm ordering next time. What's cool is I'm actually in the area pretty often on Sundays because I go to a laundromat nearby, and it always looks like they're hosting a really solid brunch crowd. After seeing the vibe firsthand, I can definitely see that being a go-to brunch spot. They also keep things exciting throughout the week. Every Thursday at 7 PM, they host trivia with Jonathan from Quizzo -- six rounds covering different topics with chances to win prizes like gift cards. That's the kind of midweek plan that turns a regular Thursday into something to look forward to. And if that's not enough, axe throwing is part of the experience too, in partnership with Detroit Axe Ferndale. Axe throwing has seriously become one of the most fun social activities out right now, and having expert Axe Masters guide you through it makes it even better. There's nothing like that satisfying thunk when the axe hits the target. Between the food, the drinks, the games, and the overall energy, The Corner Grill is more than just a bar and grill -- it's an experience. Definitely a spot I'll be back to.

    This is such a fun concept. Part sports bar, part games room, part axe throwing place. There is a…read morelot going on and somehow it all works. The food is not the main attraction here, but we thought it was surprisingly pretty good. The burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The garlic green beans were delicious, but the portion size was comical. There were seven tiny green beans on the plate. We did order a second round to get our fill of veggies. They have a "gamemaster" who helps you select from the hundreds of games they have available. You can reserve a game table online in advance for $3 per person and that reserves you two hours of game play time. The restrooms are a little nightmarish. Literally in a dark, damp basement. Other than that, really enjoyed our evening here.
