I'm generally very underwhelmed by the dining options in the Grosse Pointe area. Dish is okay by Grosse Pointe standards for food close to homemade meals on days when you're too busy to make pasta or salmon yourself. It's a little pricey for the portions you get, and the taste is a bit on the bland side. This is a strictly takeout restaurant. It is a small space with just a chair. It is common to find this kind of restaurant setup in this neighborhood. Call in advance to order if you don't want to wait half an hour. read more

Dish is a delightful little carry-out place! I like all the food, but have a great weakness for the delicious desserts. Highly recommend stopping in!! read more

Phenomenally good. One of my favorite takeout places in the area and I'm always excited when they have favorites back on the menu (it rotates weekly). If you like dessert theirs is worth trying, I'm picky about cake and the cakes here are so good. Love y'all, please never change! read more

Happened across this curbside only pickup spot driving in Grosse Pointe and decided to peruse the menu online. WOW what great assortment of unique dishes. Tried the Coriander Chicken w/ coriander chutney, yogurt & coconut milk; served w/ green beans & pistachios over basmati rice. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the coconut milk with the chutney paired the chicken perfectly. If vegetarian and/or just looking for good Reuben sandwich highly recommend the Grilled Artichoke Reuben w/ carmelized onions, spinach, sauerkraut & Swiss cheese & Russian dressing on the side. One of the best Reuben sandwiches meat or meatless I have ever tried. The artichoke hearts added such a great flavor to this sandwich read more

Had a great experience here as a first timers; we tried soups, sandwiches and desserts and all were excellently prepared from quality ingredients- 5 stars! The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you receive, and the menu has a wide range of choices. Also, the staff is pleasant and efficient and have systems to make this unconventional model run smoothly. This will certainly be a place we will have in regular rotation. read more

We love this place on those rare nights we are not ready to cook for ourselves and they are open. Occasionally we try something new that we decide we don't like, but it's always a preference, not a cooking mistake. Desserts when they are stocked up are terrific but don't expect everything to be there Saturday night as they are closed the early part of the week, and they don't sell leftovers. Favorites include Creme Brule and their chocolate cake for dessert. My wife loves the potato encrusted salmon. I love their pastas, especially picatta, and imo they have the best grilled Rueben anywhere. We have got to cook less and order out at Dish more often. read more

Good quality food along with nice variety from which to choose. Also people there are courteous & pleasant to deal with.

Great customer service! We live an hour away and we're looking for food before we went home. Stopped here but everyone loves their food that it was a delay for orders due to so many orders. Instead of just turning us away Ms.Betsy treated us with a des for the road. read more

Dish - a piece of cake in a brown paper bag - American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

We have always loved food from The Dish, especially their salmon dishes, and considered it a treat to get carry-out there once in a while. Last Thursday, 9/8/22, we tried their based cod and were soooo disappointed. The fish was completely tasteless and it was served on basmati rice that was also tasteless. The only saving Grace was the roasted cauliflower florets. My husband and I are seniors, on a fixed income, and this was the biggest waste of $40 in a long while. Not sure if we will return. DON'T order the cod!!!! read more

Not a fan at all. Pasta I got last time just had dried oregano coated on top. Spices 101; the dried stuff needs to be cooked or it tastes raw & gritty (and I love oregano). Tried a couple other dishes & just poor read more

The best gourmet carry out. Creative menu with different weekly specials. The deserts are made on the premises and are a great end to your meal. read more

This is my kind of place, gourmet carry out and actually very fresh and tasty to boot. They prepare nearly everything on site (save for Breadsmiths bread) and use excellent ingredients. We faced a dilemma this NYE as my husband had to get up for work at 8 am today, wretched when your body is used to working the night shift. We wanted, ok needed, to stay in but I did not want to cook. Shocking, I know. I wanted something a bit special to celebrate and we wanted to try something different. Hello Dish. We could relax and enjoy ourselves being romantic and quiet at home. No drunks, no rush and we got to enjoy good jazz music we picked ourselves. They had an extra special NYE menu and we ordered ahead off it, picked our stuff up and we were good to go. I have to say they have really delicious lobster bisque. Creamy, rich and yummy. We started with that and were already impressed. As for entrees, my husband picked the filet mignon with the green peppercorn sauce, gratin potatoes, manchego cheese and asparagus. I got the baked alaskan halibut with citrus beurre blanc, served with steamed new potatoes and hericots vert with lemon zest. James and I traded green veggies as he is not an asparagus fan at all while I, of course, am. For dessert we split a flourless chocolate cake with chocolate ganache that was amazing and very tasty vanilla bean creme brulee. I liked having both, as the chocolate was very intense and the cream brulee complimented it with its creamy rich vanilla punch. I can't wait to do it again sometime. The prices were not outrageous for the special food and I saw they had some very reasonable regular items too. Easy peasy and wow, so delicious. read more

I've made DISH part of my weekly grocery loop, which goes something like this: Trader Joe's, Kroger, (Cold Stone Creamery), and DISH. If I call DISH when I'm leaving Kroger, then by the time I get there my food is usually ready and waiting. This place makes some delicious stuff. So far, I've never gotten anything that I did not love. And, as an extra benefit, their portion sizes are huge-- I can always get 2 meals or 3 sides out of each dish. Which makes their reasonable prices even more reasonable. If you like pasta dishes, the linguine picatta and the linguine pesto are standouts. They both come vegetarian, but you can add chicken or shrimp to any pasta dish for a small extra charge. They fall down a little in the dessert game, but everyone can't be perfect at everything. read more

Among my friends I have often been known to want to go try a variety of cultural cuisines ranging from Thai to Czech. However, sometimes I do appreciate have a sandwich. Sandwiches in my opinion are more complex than one really thinks initially. There is a difference between throwing stuff between bread and calling it a "sammich" and really making an outstanding product. A random example is matching bread to what's inside a sandwich. If you have a soft middle like Egg Salad, and a hard bread, what you get is a sandwich when bitten into has a lot of the content spill out. A lot of people don't think of this sort of thing, however, this is the type of thing which separates amateurs from professionals. The people at Dish truly fall into the latter category. Dish is what I would call "Culinary Gem" of Detroit. While unassuming on the outside, magic happens within. The inside of the store is as unassuming as the outside, it is a counter, with some drinks in a fridge towards the front. The parking lot was small, so I am not sure how it would work when more busy. However, when I went there was parking. I didn't see a card machine, but they do have one. It's not cash only. I got a "Vegetarian Mexian sandwich" (what can I say? I have a weakness for avocado in sandwiches), and a drink called "Mash" (never had it before). The sandwich. is a balance of vegetables, and a good bread which provides excellent flavor and taste. It seemed like there was real though put into what went into the sandwich to allow all of the flavors to balance each other out. I liked the drink, but they didn't make it, so it's really non sequitur. I guess the only downside of the place is that I found it hard to eat all of the sandwich before I knew when it was gone I wouldn't have anymore. Love this place. read more

This was my first time getting carry-out on their modified menu. I know they were super busy, but the person I spoke with on the phone was bright and helpful and really went out of their way to try and accomodate my requests. The food was delicious and the brownies are ENORMOUS! Yes, this can be a bit of a splurge, but the ingredients are fresh and the food is delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing food, wonderful staff, really good prices, you can't go wrong at Dish. You really need to see the menu to try to define the style, it's pretty diverse but everything is good. If you haven't been here you need to go. read more

This Dish would have been better left as a dish on your roof streaming movies and TV into the home. I had no idea this place had been in GP for 18 years. I picked up a potato and cheese soup, which had a nice flavor, but very little potatoes or veggies in them, seemed rather sparse on the veggies. I also tried a bit of the corn and seafood chowder, which was also good, but ended up giving that to my step-dad, since he was craving that over everything else I had brought. I also bought a vanilla bean cheesecake with caramel and a puff pastry on top of it, my mother ate that, she loved it, said the cheesecake was light and fluffy, not as dense as cheesecake usually can be. I ate the spinach salad, but the smoked salmon was the type that goes on Lox and not the smoked salmon that has been in a smoker a bit longer and is a bit dryer and less like sashimi sushi. My stomach could not handle the salmon, it started making my stomach nauseous and I had to discard it on the side of the plate. The tomato and basil quiche, I was told by the cashier is delicious, was so not, it was just very bland and so below par. It was all egg and very little tomato, there were only 2 thin slices of tomato planted on the top of the quiche. It was disappointing after the first bite, my mother ended up keeping the rest of it to eat for the next day. All in all, I ended up eating a spinach salad with some mushrooms and tomatoes, wasn't quite what I was hoping, for my dinner, but it had to work. read more

This used to be my favorite carry out, but it's changed. Many of my favorites are off the menu (muffuletta, havarti and tenderloin sandwich, etc). I tried the burrito and chicken Florentine. Both made me think of TV dinners. I hate saying that, but they were bland and the texture was off ...like TV dinners- processed. I will give it another try, but only once more. read more

The food is so good here !! Their quiche is delicious and their cake is so good I literally have not been able to stop thinking about it. It's so light and fluffy.... oh my god I'm in love. Only issue is that it's a lot of money and I'm broke as hell. But whenever I'm financially able , I love to stop in! read more

Remember when I said Effie of Hilton Road Cafe was the queen of desserts (http://bit.ly/EWVes)? She still is, but I will have to create some sort of dessert Parliament as this establishment truly rules when it comes to the pie. I have yet to eat an actual entree at Dish, but there is no doubt in my mind that they are murderously excellent with the rest of their options. The fact that they have been in business for over 10 years is also a testament to the quality of their work. Seriously. I am eating their key lime pie as I type this and it is truly a taste to behold. So fresh. So obvious that it is made from scratch. I really hate just giving away 5-star ratings, but I would rather throw all 200lbs (+/- 5lbs) behind a great thing than a deplorable one. I will add an addendum to this review when I finally get around to ordering some of their non-dessert. For now though, NOM NOM! read more

I really don't get the hype. Stopped by around 130pm to pick up dinner for a late night at work. I ordered the pasta putanesca hoping for a late afternoon kick. The order was ready in less than5 minutes so made to order seems a bit far-fetched. Not wanting to wait I started to dig in as soon as I got to work.... wah wah. Bland as a Ohio sunset, not a lick of spice. I had to add a tsp of red pepper just to get it started. Capers were plentiful and that was about it, no hints of anchovy or olives. read more

These folks are telling it like it is...this place has the BEST carryout ever! A bit pricey and worth every dime. Your meal is made by a CHEF honey. The sauces are always flawlessly matched, whether delicate or robust. The potato-encrusted salmon is huge and cooked perfectly every, every time. The turkey quesadillas are crispy and soft in all the right places, their pasta dishes are sublime piles o' wonder. The quiches are amazing, The soups will make you cry, I could go on. In fact, I will! The salads are heavenly, and the desserts expertly made. I love how they add little extra sides to some of the items and how they are genuinely nice, conscious folks who really care about what goes into their food, your body, and our delicate environs. BRAVO! read more

The beef stroganoff is one of my favorites and my family likes the egg sandwich ALL desserts are amazing! the all natural root beer they sell is a must with all meals and I also recommend the Hungarian Mushroom Soup, and the Maurice salad is better than Macys! read more

DISH is the BEST take-out place! I wouldn't be surprised if my family is their number one customer, as we order from them at least 3x per week. They even catered my high school graduation party! Their everyday menu provides countless options including salads, sandwiches, pastas, quesadillas, etc. Additionally, you can always count on their daily specials. My family has never been disappointed, no matter what we order. The owners are so nice, and definitely remember us every time we go in. Their food is so clearly made from the best locally sourced ingredients, and the business uses environmentally friendly takeout containers and utensils. I recommend DISH to everyone! p.s. It's nearly impossible to resist the delicious desserts displayed when you go in to pick up your meal. read more

After reading all these awesome reviews of DISH, I'd like to give it another chance, but I don't think I will. -The dude was rude and short over the phone. - They messed up two out of three of our sandwiches and the one that was made correctly produced a big "eh." Thanks, but no thanks. read more

I finally tried Dish after reading some great reviews and have to agree with my fellow Yelpers...amazing! Best carry-out I have ever had! I had the Beef Straganoff and Key Lime Pie and it was amazing. You cannot beat the prices for the quality of the food. I am bummed we are moving from the east side next week...I started going here too late! :( read more

Hands down, one of THE BEST lunches I've had in quite some time. Our office just moved to the Grosse Pointe-area, and a colleague and I passed by this cute little storefront with a colorful awning. Intrigued, we googled the name on the awning and found a menu that quite literally made out mouths water! The turkey and bacon sandwich was HEAVENLY! What ever that bread is, I have got to get some more of that! The seafood chowder (chowdah!) was hearty, but not heavy, and the linguine picatta and the mediterranean pasta had a wonderful flavor and freshness! We will definitely be back! read more

I have been meaning to walk in here for a long time and finally did tonight. It is basically a take out place with salads, sandwiches, pastas, and daily specialty entrees. I got the five onion soup and it was awesome. Also tried the Cajun pasta with shrimp and chorizo. How bad could it be? Their menu had a lot of good looking stuff on it, I'll have to come back. Also, they had some killer looking deserts in the case... Next time! read more

I love Dish. In fact I have loved Dish since the first time we met nearly a decade ago. The food can be pricey but the quality is there. I am willing to pay for quality so I am not at all upset by this. Desserts are great & I get this Turkey sandwich that I crave. It's rather rustic which seems odd since I am describing food but it is. Avacado & mayo with bacon on some farmhouse kind of bread. It's amaze anyway & when I moved back to this area this was one of my first stops. I fell in love all over again! Dish you never disappoint me! read more

This is yet another instance where, without the help of my fellow Yelpers, I wouldn't have picked up on this place, being a midtowner. For those of you looking for this place on the app map it didn't seem to populate a geo location so FYI, it's just south of Moross on the west side of Mack. When I walked in I was surprised by how small the place is. There's a cooler a counter and a cold display for desserts that they make in house. In fact they make everythig in house sans the bread. I was greeted right after the gentleman running the counter took a carryout order. I was surprised again to hear that they had been in business 14 years...it would seem this spot is a well kept secret judging by the limited number of reviews. I ordered a couple sandwiches...the Turkey and Bacon and the Beef Tenderloin with a bowl of their corn seafood chowder. My order came up pretty quickly I paid and rolled back to the Farmington area. The unveil was great....two beautiful sandwiches that had survived the 40 minute ride back unscathed. Each sandwich caddy with a pickle and it's own little tub of pasta salad (which is bangin' BTW...good pickles too). Both sandwiches were nicely stacked but not overly so and the ingredients were of the highest quality. The bacon on the T&B could've been a little crispier but it was my favorite of the two. The beef tenderloin melted in my mouth but I would've liked a little more of the gorgonzola spread. The rub was the bread. Mind you it's Breadsmith which I support whole heartedly as being just a solid bakery with fantastic product, but on these sandwiches it was really really really dry. I would've like a nice hearty white on them rather than what I think was a wheat. That said, had the bread been toasted or the sandwiches had more spread on them I may have enjoyed them a lot more. The chowder was good but more of a soup being really thin but with lots of good stuff in it. I had expected a creamy chowder...I should've asked. Prices here are a little high but you do get a small side and the ingredients speak for themselves, but on this initial visit I expected more after seeing the reviews. I definitely would like to try their actual entrees and I love the concept of gourmet take-out but this visit was a 3.5. read more

I bought two Groupons last July based on the great reviews on Yelp. They are about to expire, so I Finally stopped in last night and picked up dinner. The place is tiny - I counted 4x8 two foot ceiling tiles (8'x16') customer area. Half of that is taken up with the counter and a drink cooler. I arrived at about 6:30 pm, and there was a constant stream of people calling and picking up orders while I waited. Half the calls seemed to for the beef stroganoff, one of the daily specials, and they were out - keep that in mind if that's what you want. They were also out of the soup of the day - creamy tomato. I ordered New Orleans pasta, tenderloin salad and five onion soup. All three came with a slice of chewy crusty bread. The pasta was rich and spicy as expected, the salad dressing was excellent and the salad was very good but the Romaine was cut and a little brown on the edges. The soup was good, with four large croutons on top. By the time I got home the bread had pretty much soaked up all of the liquid. I live in Rochester, and since there are plenty of good places to eat closer to home I wouldn't make a special trip, but if you live nearby, the food is very good. Update - I went back yesterday (1/26/11) and tried the beef stroganoff - it was delicious and outrageously rich. The beef was perfectly grilled, very tender and flavorful. Mushrooms melted in my mouth. The sauce was more creamy and buttery than sour cream-y, so not your typical stroganoff. I would definitely get it again, if just for the perfectly grilled and seasoned beef. Note that two of us split an order, and I served it with lots of whole wheat linguine to dilute the creamy (sinfully delicious) sauce. Served that way we'll get at least one more dinner for two, and maybe two more. We also had the sesame caesar salad - it was fine, and the seafood corn chowder. I expected the chowder to be creamy but it was more like a New England chowder with a broth base. My husband liked it, but I don't think I would order it again. read more

Because Greengo Cafe wasn't serving food (allegedly it was too hot to cook) and I had no cash for Janet's, I got a chance to try out Dish today. Serendipity. I really, really enjoyed the Mediterranean veggie sandwich on multigrain bread, and the egg sandwich got high marks. What I liked most about the Mediterranean was the interplay between the feta, hummus, and olives. So tasty. Sandwiches come with a small ramekin of macaroni salad, and a pickle. Reasonable prices. If you have lunch free in the area, stop by, please, and spread the word! read more

heaven between 2 multi grain slices of bread. that's what DISH is!! I have gone by this little place a bazillion times with my BF and I always say "babe I want to go there" finally he surprised me with a menu one night after a long day and treated me to the best Turkey Smoked Gouda sandwich that has ever passed through my lips!! You can't eat here matter of fact you cannot even wait inside if there are 4 people in front of you this place is so small. But let me tell you this place is like Detroit's little piece of yumminess! WOWZERS!! My BF had the Ancho Chicken quesidila and it was so crispy and fresh and saucy and cheesy. I'm losing track of what i wanted to say I'm day dreaming now of that food. OH the 5 onion soup! WHAAATTTTT!! It was perfect!!! The bred chunks were still a little hard and the cheese was melted! If I weren't in Southfield at work right now i would be placing my lunch order! Just go here. The menu is fresh and local and made to perfection and with so much love! GO NOW!!! read more

First of all, what is everybody talking about? Are there two distinct restaurants both named Dish that people may be confusing for each other? Or could it be that the prior ten reviews were written by friends and family? The Dish I went to, although a small shack as shown in the picture, was nowhere as good as the raves on here. I got the Roast Chicken sandwich and while it was not bad, I would've been more satisfied at Panera, Corner Bakery or some other chain restaurant which I usually avoid in lieu eating at independently owned, private restaurants. Granted all that I got is a sandwich but I can't imagine carrying out a $20 salmon dish. But you have no choice but to carry it out if you got one of the more expensive entrees since there are NO tables at Dish. It's literally a shack with a cash register and two parking spots. I had high hopes since my experience with tiny restaurants is unusually positive, but sadly I found Dish overpriced for value and mediocre in taste. read more

Honestly so delicious!! Tried this place on a whim after driving past it a couple times and reading some reviews-- I will be back soon!! Our group ordered a delicious New Orleans pasta, a turkey Gouda wrap, a sesame Caesar salad and the black bean burrito- all so good! I was really impressed. Cute and family-owned little Mack ave treasure! 5 stars in my book. read more

If you're looking fantastic carry-out this is the place. This chef (and yes, the guy in the kitchen is no ordinary cook) could be pleasing diners at any hip little restaurant in America, but he's chosen to focus on the food in the kitchen and not have to deal with B.S. in the front of the house. Thank God Dish is only a block from my house read more
