The fried catfish, yams, greens, fried chicken, dark maple hot wings and anything that hit the table was exceptionally tasty. With classic tastes like grandma used to make, but with that extra touch of love. Inside the dining area was super clean and upbeat. Gorgeous artwork and a speakeasy type vibe. Met chef Aisha and she was wonderfully sweet. So were Miss Lisa and Brandy. Huge shout out to brandy as she was the mixologist. That Mr Bowie was the best!

SavannahBlue was a great date-night spot in Detroit. The atmosphere felt intimate and inviting, and…read morethe food definitely delivered. We started with the catfish fritters, which were a really good way to kick off the meal. For our entrees, we tried the braised oxtail and the SavannahBlue fried chicken. The oxtail was so rich, tender, and packed with flavor. The fried chicken was crispy and comforting. Both were delicious, and sharing two different entrees made the meal even better. Overall, I really enjoyed SavannahBlue: great atmosphere, flavorful food, and a solid choice for a date night in Detroit. I'd happily come back and try more of the menu.

Craving soul food after a funeral and thought of past food from Mookey's. Rib tip dinner was pricey…read moreat $25 for what was provided. Originally I had 6 pieces of meat in the meal but I thankfully checked my bag as directed to on the signs. I inquired and the container was filled with what I should have gotten as a dinner. Maybe the staff member was new that initial did my order. They were polite. More than 1/2 was tough, some even so much not edible. Disappointing because I really wanted some rib tips. The cornbread was dry and crumbly. Cornbread is not difficult or long cooking so I'm not sure why I'd get old cornbread midday on a Saturday. Or they need to retool the recipe. In my head, I would think that portions would be sampled by the cook to ensure consistency, but I've never worked in a fast past restaurant so I don't know the process. Sides: dressing was good and not overly salty. Yams had too much sugar for me. I bought another meal for someone to eat and I hope it was better. A 1/2 chicken meal was $20. Overall, not with the $25+ tax I paid today. The staff was pleasant. The area was kept clean. However, the meat was a failure. I would be fine paying $25 of the meat was cooked correctly. I would not recommend going here for bbq as they have a not cash return policy. It is store credit or a gift card even if the food is poorly made. Likely need to go to a bbq specific restaurant next time. I have no plans on driving way back to the restaurant and just count it as a loss. The prices are equivalent to sit down restaurants without the service or quality.

It's been a long time since I've been there! I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door, which was quite nice. Lots of servers around to help you, too! I didn't know what to expect since the word 'bar' has been added to their name. I had looked at their menu at home so I knew what I was going to order! Broasted 1/2 chix, greens, sweet potatoes, and potatoes salad! It came with cornbread! It was all quite tasty! But ambiance was quite nice wasn't noisy like a bar and I sort of think I heard music but I was busy eating because the food looked and smelled good! The server commented laughingly commented, 'the only thing I didn't touch was my water!' My doctor will be glad to hear that!

We wanted to like Bert's. Live music and chicken people rave about drew us in while we were…read morevisiting Eastern Market. We were told the Aretha Franklin chicken was incredible. We arrived shortly after they opened. There was almost no one there when we arrived. It was the most unorganized mess of an experience I've ever had. No joke. We ordered 2 drinks and the Aretha Franklin Chicken, 2 sides, and cornbread. We were told it would be 20-30 minutes until the chicken was ready. No problem. After 30 minutes we still didn't have our drinks, but the waitress reappeared to tell us our drinks would be out soon and the chicken would be ready in about 20 minutes. In the end, it took about 40 minutes to get our drinks and 1 1/2 hours to get our chicken. Even paying the bill took lots of effort. There were multiple customers who went inside to try to find the waitress and pay their bill. After 20 minutes of searching we were finally able to pay and leave. I'm all in for a not-rushed experience, but there's no reason to leave people baking in the sun for 40 minutes before you can bring them their drinks. We should have left, but we were locked in to discover if the chicken was as good as promised. The answer is no, unfortunately. It was fine. Very tender, but seemingly no seasoning at all. Also, they were out of cornbread and didn't have the ingredients to make our drinks the right way. The entertainment was good. We were outside, so there was a one man band blues singer who was pretty good. I hope Bert's can get it together. It's a great concept and a great location. If you go, have plenty of time and be prepared to wait. Perhaps you should bring a few drinks and snacks with you to fill the time until they can serve you.

Today was a visit to Detroit to see my daughter. We were craving some Home Cooking and found it here. Lots of small mom and pops around but we chose this one because they had a review already and were open. Menu looks very good. I got the smothered Pork chops , mac n cheese and collards. My son got fried catfish mac n cheese and loaded mash potatoes with cornbread. We decided to splurge and got peach cobbler and banana pudding, our total bill was $50. Seems like a lot but hey we are in Michigan ‍ and wth, Im cravin soul so its's worth it. I'm posting pictures below. I've got to tell you I mean this is some of the best stuff I have ever had. It just brought back memories for me. I devoured one of the pork chops, about a third of my macaroni and cheese and half of my collards and I was stuffed , I took a bite of the both desserts. They were very good. The peach cobbler was not served warm which is fine cause we can always take it back and heat it up and put a dollop of ice cream on it but just to let you know in case you wanna ask them to heat it up. But oh my God it's so good. I will go back there in a heartbeat! Thank you ladies for reminding me of my roots.

If strong drinks and decent food are your thing, this may be right up your alley. Now, don't get it confused, this is definitely not an upscale spot. The place is pretty small and fills up quickly. I tried the chicken wings, which were good. The fish was decent, but the shrimp just wasn't my cup of tea. I had one drink and immediately knew that if I had another, I'd probably be dancing on the tables. I stayed for about an hour before the music started giving me a headache. They also had karaoke, which was pretty entertaining. One thing to note: they automatically add an 18% gratuity to your bill. Overall, this place wasn't really my vibe, but that's simply a matter of personal preference.
