    After years away it's fun to revisit A2 institutions, especially Fleetwood Diner. The joys of Hippie Hash, coming here buzzed after the Blind Pig concerts, or popping in around 4:30am when the place is trashed and the employees are hanging out smoking. That was then, now there's a new(er) family owning it, and subtle changes to the menu point to Middle Eastern influences. As such, I sat down at the counter one morning during my visit and tried the gyro hippie hash and it was excellent. Eggs cooked a perfect over-medium, hashbrowns lurked under the chopped meat and minced broccoli, topped with feta cheese. Big yum! It's still tight and intimate inside. A family sat next to me at the counter, so that was fun. Everyone was friendly and watching the cooks work magic in tight quarters was interesting. Come for the experience, and enjoy the classic menu.

    I FINALLY went to the Fleetwood Diner. I never went there when I was in school in Ann Arbor 41+ years ago, so I thought it was about time I tried it. I was actually a little torn between going there & going to Krazy Jim's Blimpie Burgers because that's right next door. But, I decide to stay true to my original decision, and I'm glad I did. At first, I went inside, but it seemed cramped and a little dark, so since it was a beautiful day, I decided to eat outside. I ordered the Meaty Hippie Hash. I didn't realize it came with an egg -- the hash itself would have been plenty! But they made the egg exactly how I like it -- over hard & very overdone for most people, with slightly crispy edges. It was perfect! It came with 2 pieces of toast (I had to ask for jelly) and a mount of hashbrowns with broccoli and chopped corned beef and a sprinkling of cheese. It was so good. And since I only ate half, I had plenty or the next day. That was fortunate, as it wasn't as "cheap" as I'd expect a diner to be, but since it covered two meals, it was worth it. The only real negatives were that the server seemed a bit distracted. For example, I asked her for a glass of ice & she did comment on how the ice melts really fast, but she never did bring it. I also didn't like that the credit card reader thing starts with 25% tip & goes UP from there. Tipping is entirely out of hand at that point. Unfortunately for me, I chose "custom tip" thinking it would be a percentage & not a dollar amount, and being bad at math & a little flustered, I ended up tipping too much.

    Ran down piece of shit without the shitty employers

    For starters we weren't greeted great. I was with an African American and I felt he had a problem with that. We felt rushed and didn't feel comfortable at all. It was a $4 cup of coffee that looked and tasted like a McDonald's taste of coffee. Do your self a favor and go to sweet waters cafe. The coffee is much better and the Ambiance and furniture literally blows Fleetwood diner out of the water. I won't ever be coming back and here and will be encouraging others to do the same. Service is just as important as the food is.

    It's a small diner in a college town. I came in for lunch and it was pretty full. A lot of people came in for brunch. As for your entertainment for your eyes, the walls are filled with stickers. I got a fried chicken sandwich. It looked a little too fried and slightly burnt but the chicken was still moist. There's no seasoning with it so you need to add hot sauce or ketchup to flavor it. My friend got the Reuben and it was pretty good. I see a lot of people get breakfast and it looked good. I might go back to try out breakfast next time. The basket of fries was decent. They don't add salt so you would need to add it first your own liking.

    Half ground bacon/burger with onions tomato lettuce cheese mayo.

    Food: Onion rings are plentiful, super delicious--crispy with just the right amount of batter (light), and not too much grease, but enough to satisfy a diner-style onion ring hunger. Half bacon half ground beef cheese burger is delightful, crispy around the edges and the veggies and mayo always make a burger great. Comes with mayo, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and pickles. Excellent winter time or even anytime comfort food. The short order cook here is amazing! Service: Excellent, in and out in about 10 minutes but it was a very slow Wednesday evening around dinner time inlet November. Atmosphere: Funky with its distinctive Ann Arbor flair dating back to the '50s or '60s, yet cozy like every diner should be. No wonder this is an Ann Arbor icon! An oddity: My burger came with strips of bacon on top, which I did not order. Maybe the cook misheard me and gave me the regular cheese burger with bacon added? Either way I really enjoyed this meal!

    Locals and travelers enjoy the hippie hash. I usually prefer something simple as a plate of eggs and toast. This small iconic 24 hour diner has been in AA a while. Small and cozy, there are stickers everywhere to keep your wandering eyes exploring.

    Awesome diner on our visit to Michigan

    Walked in and the owners daughter welcomed me with a very warm conversation. Bomb burgers and onion rings! Highly recommend to visit even if it's just to check out stickers covering the interior walls.

    I love Fleetwood Diner so much and I hope it stays forever on this beautiful little corner of downtown Ann Arbor forever as well! It's a perfect little dinner and has the most unique charm that I find myself bringing people here as one of the must-eat stops if they've never been to Ann Arbor before. Yes, it's diner food, but it's just an quintessential part of Ann Arbor! The walls are covered with stickers and you're allowed to put one of your own up as well. Their hash is to DIE for and definitely worth being on the Ann Arbor bucket list that my friend and I had for our senior year at Michigan. It's perfect late night food, since they're open to the early hours of the morning, breakfast food, and all day food. A ton of people come here, naturally because of its hours of operations, after a long night out to sop up some of the alcohol in their system and I'm sure it's great for that. For me personally, since I don't drink, I can attest to the fact that the food here is good drunk or sober and is just proper diner food, but just with that extra little something that makes it shine apart from any diner kind of place! Love you, Fleetwood!

    My lady loved the corned beef hash at this place. Service was what you'd expect at a good diner: chill, matter of fact, down to earth, and friendly overall. Loved the stickers on the wall. Gives the place a kind of disturbed diner aesthetic. Bacon burger was good. Also, you gotta love a 24/7 diner!

    Fries were undercooked and soggy. They were hot, but it was busy so they must've been rushed and undercooked.

    Great Brunch, good Lunch, but menu could use more variety!…read more Savas is an adorable restaurant with a really welcoming atmosphere; the space is cute, the environment is lovely, and the staff is genuinely amazing every single time. My first visit was for brunch, and it completely won me over. The buffet had a wonderful variety of food, the mimosas and cocktails were delicious, and for the quality, variety, and service you get, the price point is very fair. I left thoroughly impressed. I came back for lunch excited to experience it again, and while the staff was just as warm and the environment just as great, however, this time the lunch menu didn't quite live up to my expectations. They offer salads, sandwiches, mac and cheese and similar American-style comfort food, which is totally fine, but for a restaurant of this caliber I was hoping for something a little more exciting. I ended up ordering a salad with added shrimp, which was absolutely delicious, and a pomegranate rosemary lemonade that was incredibly refreshing - perfect for a summer day-. But if you're not in the mood for sandwiches, salads, or mac and cheese, your options are pretty limited. My suggestion: keep doing everything you're doing because the hospitality and atmosphere are truly special, but consider expanding the lunch and dinner menu for those looking for a heartier or more diverse meal.

Now the setup is that you walk up to the counter to order then they direct you to a table (inside or out, your preference) and bring you what you've ordered. You can also order to go. The food was super quick and delicious. We ordered the huevos rancheros with chorizo and ham & egg breakfast sandwich. Both were exceptionally well seasoned with lots of flavor. Eggs were perfectly runny for the rancheros and folded egg omelet was not dry on the sandwich. Crispy tortillas on the rancheros and house made chorizo was flavorful and not greasy. I'd say that this dish was not very spicy at all, I had to add cholula hot sauce which was conveniently on the table already. They have a bathroom in the basement, which you have to get through the kitchen. So, not accessible for all but it does have a diaper changing station available for the littles. Lots of seating choices: communal table, small tables, and window counter height seating plus outside tables in the back. Overall, will be back again with the kids since there were lots of families with smaller kids here so very family friendly.

    Such a cute place in the middle of a quaint neighborhood!…read more We came on a cloudy and drizzly day and it was still nice to eat outside. (Only outside is stroller friendly.

The staff are very friendly and nice. The outside has umbrellas so it's perfect for rainy and sunny weather. The corned beef hash was delicious! It had some crispyness and great flavor! The breakfast burrito was also delicious and not too big but very filling! The honey cinnamon latte was very tasty too. Nothing disappointed! Parking is only hard but we managed to find a spot not too far away.

    My friend had high praise for Spencer, so I was excited to try it out when I was in Ann Arbor. My…read morefriends and I arrived 10 min before they opened for brunch and there was no wait, though the restaurant filled up quickly behind us. The space is rustic and simple, with fresh cut flowers on the tables. A majority of the walls were occupied by floor to ceiling racks of wine, as that is their award-winning product. Their brunch menu changes weekly and is extremely tight and cohesive. My party ordered the entire food menu sans olives (2/3rds of us don't like them), and two plates of the potato pelmeni. My thoughts below: Amaro Apertivo: mocktail based on the namesake dessert wine. This tasted like candy but not too sweet, and we enjoyed it a lot. Lovage soda: Google told me that lovage is an herb that tastes like citrus and celery. I am a huge fan of drinks with a twist, and I'd say that celery is a pretty big one! Crisp and not too sweet, the citrus flavor definitely balanced the Celery, and both flavors kept the soda fresh and crisp. This was great paired with the rest of the herbaceous menu and balanced out the richness of some later dishes, though it's not necessarily something I would enjoy by itself without appropriate accompaniment. Pickled egg, fried shallot, dill: I had only heard of pickled eggs in the context of strange British food on YouTube, so I was a little hesitant about this dish. The concept of an egg floating in vinegar brine is a bit off-putting, but once I powered through that mental roadblock, I found myself enjoying this bite. The egg is perfectly cooked with a slightly jammy yolk, and the shallots added a much needed crunch. Dill enhanced the pickled taste while cutting through the richness of the fried shallots and yolk. Sourdough focaccia, whipped butter: Never in my life have I ever made focaccia this tall. This focaccia was raised by a loving family and nurtured to develop a golden, non-greasy, crisp crust protecting its tender, pillowy innards. The classic sourdough tang is a novel addition to each bite, and cuts through the creamy, whipped butter to keep me wanting more. I could eat a whole pan of this alone, but we had many more plates to sample. Saucisson sec salami, pickled carrot: This is a simple, charming, carb-free mini charcuterie; place a slice of salami, some of the mozzarella (next dish on this list, below), and its oil atop a pickled carrot base, and you are in for a perfectly balanced treat. My favorite part of this dish is the fact that the salami was incredibly savory, and not too salty. The more you chew it, the more the flavors express themselves, so be sure to chew slowly and thoroughly! The crunch of the crisp, dill-pickled carrot and the soft chewiness of the mozzarella give each bite a lot of good contrast. Mozzarella, green garlic oil: Fresh, hand-stretched mozzarella is something that even I, a notorious cheese-hater, can't say no to. It is not sharp or funky at all, nor is it too salty. Most of the flavor comes from the green garlic and olive oil smothering each bite. Fresh and floral with a little bite, this was delicious with the salami and carrot above. Potato pelmeni, asparagus green adjika, sour cream: Given the portion size of the previous dishes (small, tapas vibes), we were not expecting the platter full of double carb heaven that met our eyes. And we ordered two!!! This is a gorgeous dish with plump, quarter-sized pelmeni nestled in a vibrant green asparagus and herb sauce with a dollop of sour cream on top. This was a classic comfort dish with a verdant twist! The pelmeni were stuffed full of creamy potato, and the dough was cooked perfectly al dente for a satisfying, pillowy bite. The sauce was homey but packed with zippy flavor and tender asparagus. The major feedback I have for this dish is that it was way too salty, to the point where the flavor was a tad too sharp because of it. Lettuces, radish, pumpkin seed, caraway vinaigrette: It was through this dish that I found out what caraway tastes like and through this dish that I figured out that I'm not a caraway fan. The lettuces were bitter and when combined with the slightly medicinal caraway taste, wasn't for me. The crunch of the radish and the nutty pumpkin seeds were great in this dish though! Fennel cornmeal biscotti, rhubarb compote, cream: This was a single biscotti with generous dollops of compote and cream. We were quite full when this dish was set in front of us, so I was frankly relieved for the small portion size. The fennel in the biscotti paired wonderfully with the tart rhubarb, and the rich cream rounded things out nicely without tipping into cloying territory. The savory cornmeal complimented the fennel and provided additional depth of flavor. A great small bite to end on! Overall, Spencer's strong fundamentals allow them to take risks with in-season local produce. Some things worked for me and some didn't, but I would love to come back to see what they can create next!
