We used to come here regularly with our membership. In recent years things have really changed…read more In the past, items were offered as meals, but now all items are à la carte. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the guy at the podium in the rear. There was a woman sitting up farther by the trays doing a puzzle book, and she really could hardly be bothered. I was trying to understand, at that point, if the menu had changed to fully à la carte, and she just wouldn't answer me and kept directing me to the counters. Well how do I know what I want if I don't understand how it's offered? The fried chicken tender dinner of old is no more. On its way out, they switched from the homemade ones to standard frozen tenders, and now they aren't available at all. We asked at the counters and looked at most of the food. They still did offer a kale salad we like. It has pickled onions and peanuts in a vinaigrette and is a fresh, healthy complement to some heavier fare. It comes in both individual and family size, and I recommend the larger as it's a much better value. They offer a jambalaya entree, but it looked to be mostly just rice! The gumbo soup was very good, as well as a healthy option. The Mac & cheese looked popular, but we didn't try it. Our single serving of sweet potato fries were dry and even a bit burnt, and just 8 smaller fries. I saw other tables getting fresh ones, but we got the lame bottom of the pan. The baked potato with cheese and broccoli was generously sized and got a good review, though I didn't try it. Overall, my impression was that the food was generally made from inexpensive ingredients, and marked up to quite a premium. I think management needs to look at the specifics of what is being served and see if that's as they intended. They offer the same delicious artisan sodas as the newer eatery near the market pavilion. We've tried food there, as well, and the sandwich was very good! What you might prefer is purely based on personal preference. There is good food here if you choose wisely.

This rock 'n roll themed diner is a downriver favorite for breakfast. The food is consistently…read moregood, even if the same order isn't always exactly the same. For example, I get the "Hearty" breakfast most of the time and it comes with eggs, meat, pancakes, potatoes and toast, and it really highlights what is this place's strength. Eggs: I get mine scrambled and have a nice selection of hot sauce to choose from. Meat: I appreciate that they offer turkey sausage since I don't eat beef or pork, but my wife loves their bacon if that's your thing. Pancakes: quality varies the most here as they are sometimes a little pale (but still good) but more often the idyllic golden one expects when ordering. Potatoes: lots of variety here, too, as my home fries come in different sized cuts with seasoning ranging from none to "no need for salt or pepper?" Toast: Again, wide variety of choices, I go with sourdough most often If this sounds like a lot of food, there are lots of other options that make it appealing to smaller appetites. But what I like about the "Hearty" is all the choices and the variation in style (probably depends on who's staffing the griddle) allows me to order the same meal and still feel like I'm getting some variety. Having said that, keep an eye out for the specials. They sometimes are tempting enough to get me to stray from usual. In addition to good food, the service is always friendly, and we've been back enough times to where I think every server recognizes us. Like I said, it's a favorite.

I ordered latte with oatmilk and caramel syrup and it was delicious. I ordered Chocolate Fortess and I did ask if I could have waffle instead of pancake and she say yes. I was thrilled. The chocolate fortess waffle was amazing. I love it. The Michigan maple syrup was good. The latte was so good too. My family enjoyed the meal too. It is great brunch for this spot.

Right away, I noticed: the doorknob was a gas pump, the napkin holder were held together by a metal host clamps, and the napkin was made of shop rags. There were two vintage cars, red & blue colors, parked in the front of the restaurant, like they were getting repaired or waiting to get gas. Inside, everything is like another museum, more vintage cars hanging up above the customers, to admire while eating, framed photos, etc. It's really so cool! The food were served in buffet trays. The food was just so-so. The drinks we ordered, took a long time to arrive. It was difficult to communicate to our fellow travelers, since the table were arranged like a cafeteria. The steamed broccoli were tasteless. There's chicken (it was just OK) and meatloaf (I picked that) with gravy, and mashed potatoes. For dessert, everyone had ice cream with chocolate like a Sundae? I wanted to sleep tonight, so I asked for plain ice cream. Thank you!

Everything is cooked and baked by the chefs-in-training so you can expect little blemishes here and there, but where else can you get Duck Confit for $14 or Surf and Turf for $17 nowadays? I was always interested in going ever since I learned about the restaurant, but their very limited hours (they are only open during the school year for lunch on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and for dinner on Wednesday) prevented me from giving them a try. That changed last Wednesday. We had a reservation for the special Shrimp and Soul Seafood Buffet ($21.95 per person). Parking was a bit of a pain - I guess this place is mostly attended by faculty and other students because we had to call and wait for security to raise the gate to the parking lot. As we walked into the building, we noticed that the restaurant is basically situated to the side of the student commons/cafeteria area. We walked up and found a giant line of people waiting to check in; this was right when they opened at 6PM. This took a while, but after we managed to make it inside, we were directed to the overflow seating outside of the restaurant - it wasn't exactly the classiest of seats; basically just temporary circular fold tables and plastic chairs, with a cheap plastic cover on top of the table. The interior furniture was much better but I guess for these more popular events they have too many people come in. We waited a while for the waitress to get to us as there seemed to be only one or two for the entire restaurant and then finally could go inside to grab food. There were two main lines for food, one to the right with salad and appetizers, and one to the left with the mains. Starting with the right side, which was mostly self service, we had: Spring Mix Salad - Pretty standard green mix with a wide variety of toppings to choose from, including shredded cheese, olives, broccoli, onions, chickpeas, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and a couple of different dressings. Cocktail Shrimp - These were boiled and piled into an attractive ice sculpture, with the shrimp spilling out from the bottom. They were cooked perfectly with the shrimp being served unshelled. They were a bit tricky to peel, but they were deveined well. This came with cocktail sauce and lemon on the side. Macaroni Salad, Cole Slaw, and Potato Salad - All mixed and seasoned well. Soup - The menu listed shellfish clam chowder but instead they had a nice corn chowder with imitation crab. On the left side, where there were students standing behind every dish to serve the food: Cornbread Muffins and Dinner Rolls - The cornbread were very sweet with good cornmeal taste. The rolls were pretty normal in taste and texture, but they looked nicely baked with cornmeal sprinkled on top. Braised Collard Greens - The greens were chopped and stewed until tender with no stringy bits. There was a bit of smokiness and pieces of pork mixed in. Sweet Potato Casserole - This had a nice cinnamony taste with a browned crust on top. Pork Tenderloin - This was thinly sliced and dressed with a peach bbq sauce. It was good to try but kind of dry and tough. Fried Cod - This was beer battered cod with a bit of bitterness. The fish inside was tender and moist. Chicken Breast - Very dry, my least favorite food of the night by far. The last two items were rice pilaf and green beans. In addition, there was a mac & cheese station with mix-ins, including diced tomato, caramelized onion, homemade bacon, broccoli, and imitation crab. The student scoops some precooked, oiled elbow macaroni into a pan, adds the toppings, ladles a cheese roux on top and heats everything up in a skillet. We were told that the bacon is made on site. It's thick cut into cubes so you have sizable chunks of delicious smoky bacon. We found the best part of the meal to be the dessert, served on a table right outside the restaurant (and conveniently located across the entrance from our table). These consisted of a decadent heart shaped white chocolate mousse with raspberry filling, a chocolate mousse with caramel filling, small pecan pie slices, Mississippi mud pie bars, cups of banana pudding, red velvet cupcakes, peach cobbler (served hot), and cheesecake. Everything on this table was delicious and we definitely overindulged. Overall, the food was a bit hit and miss, with the meats being the worst and the desserts being the best. Since this was a buffet rather than their normal service, there were probably some additional consistency issues. Still I think this was a good experience and it made me want to visit again for their standard menu but perhaps not for another buffet.
