Every time I am in Birmingham, Michigan, Market North End is always a staple. While we waited awhile for a table (large party), it was worth the wait. The house bread is a must order. The service is slow, so never be in a rush. Food comes quickly once you are able to order. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. You can expect large portions that are perfect for sharing or enjoying by yourself. The homemade ranch is a must order for whatever you choose to get. Its in the perfect location and the best area for walking around and shopping. Unfortunately, I was not able to get other pictures, but the salads, pizza, and turkey reuben sandwich special were amazing. read more

My group arrived around 7:00 p.m., put our name on the waitlist, and were told it would be about a 30-minute wait. There were multiple open tables when we arrived, so that estimate seemed reasonable. Instead, we waited until nearly 9:00 p.m. During that time, we went up to the hostess stand several times to ask for an update, and every single time we were told that we were "next." Yet we continued to watch numerous other parties get seated ahead of us. As the only white group waiting, it left us feeling like we were being treated differently. I can't say for certain why we were repeatedly passed over, but the experience made us feel unwelcome, especially after watching so many other groups be seated while we were continually told we were next. This is particularly frustrating because this isn't the first time I've felt this way at Market North End. I've continued to come back because the food is genuinely very good, but great food isn't enough to make up for feeling ignored and disrespected as a customer. This is consistent with all of the rumors we have heard about this restaurant being unfair to certain races. No one should have to wait an hour and a half while being repeatedly assured they're next, only to watch other parties be seated instead. I hope management takes a serious look at how the waitlist is managed and ensures that every guest is treated fairly and consistently. read more

Amazing spot! Service was wonderful, we had a quaint table and (until 2 large tables of children arrived) it was the perfect vibe to chat with friends. Table was comfortable and they have heaters so it definitely seems like a winter option. There are booths inside that look perfect for a group meal. Reservations recommended! I intended to have salad but could not resist the Garlic soup and House bread. Going back for both...and the 3 Green Cesar. My friend had orange chicken which was also very yummie! Craft cocktails, full bar, & curated wine list. Daily specials were creative & tough to resist. Street parking was not difficult and reasonably priced. Highly recommend their weekday afternoon specials, $6 Guinness & $5 slice read more

Ordered a few different dishes to try, and we enjoyed everything we got. The service was good, and even though the place was packed, we were seated right away. The restaurant was a little louder than I expected, but it had a fun, lively atmosphere. A great spot to grab drinks or for a meal with friends. read more

Food wasn't too bad. We ordered the Spaghettini, it was supposed to have pine nuts, none. The waitress was very flat, seemed to be having a crap day. She took our order, after we sat for some time without being acknowledged. Brought our pop, didn't pre bus, left all the dirty glasses and dishes at the table. The salt shaker was all clumped up, and the salt was "wet". Someone else bright all the food, server never even acquired as to how our food was. Long story short, we didn't get what the menu said we would and the service was horrible. read more

I've been a customer here for years and have generally been understanding when service is not perfect. I know busy days happen and restaurants can be understaffed. However, my experience on a Friday afternoon was unacceptable! Not only because my new Prada bag was damaged, but because of the way the situation was handled afterward. My friend and I were seated at a very small table, which was manageable, though there was nowhere safe to place my purse. When the waiter cleared our dishes, he appeared rushed and handled the plates carelessly, allowing oil to splash onto my bag. The bag is a delicate leather-and-suede combination, and the oil altered the texture and caused permanent damage. Instead of taking responsibility and responding professionally, I was given club soda and baking soda and was left trying to blot oil from an expensive bag at the table. The waiter was not apologetic. While I was speaking with the hostess, I heard him snicker to the bartender and say " "$3000 for a bag" in a very condescending tone. This felt dismissive and he was basically mocking me.. For the record the bag was $2300 , and was recently purchased. I brought the bag to Prada, and they confirmed that it cannot be repaired because of the type of leather and suede involved. Offering to pay for dry cleaning does not resolve permanent oil damage when no cleaner can restore the bag. The manager, David, acknowledged that they were understaffed but essentially told me that it was an accident and "things happen." Accidents do happen--but a business's response, accountability, and empathy are what matter afterward. I was told to email the owners, yet I have received no response. I am disappointed by the lack of care, accountability, and basic courtesy shown after a staff member damaged my personal property. Guests should be able to enjoy a meal without leaving with an irreparably damaged item and feeling as though their concerns are being mocked or ignored. I have attached the photos of the oil damaged one of them is about 8 hours after so this is essentially how it dried. read more

Great dinner at this trendy restaurant!! Reservations are a good idea because it's small. We had them and were seated immediately. Good cocktail menu. My friend is pregnant and asked for a mocktail...they have a choice of two and the one she received was very good. I had the lamb burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was excellent! A block of feta on it!! The fries were ok. I'd order them well done next time. A little limb. My friend had the Halibut with rice. Very good. We had the crispy shrimp and calamari app. Perfect!! I'll be back!! read more

Enjoyable place to visit especially on a nice warm day when they have it opened up. The flow of fresh air makes this a nice destination. The bar tenders and wait staff have been very kind and attentive even when quite crowded over the years. I enjoyed the pizza for a reasonable price and they offer a variety of beers on tap. read more

Food is great. Service is also very good. Restaurant is a little loud it can be hard to hear when it gets busy.

Good vibes! Good food and drinks as well. Nice spot to go to in Bham, check them out!

Expensive. I ordered baked bread on Door Dash. I got Sassoon bread. I got sour cream (very small container)with the order instead of butter. I paid over $21. The bread was awful, so I fed it to the birds. I won't order from them again. read more

Solid, albeit not outstanding spot. I can't quite tell if it's trying to be casual or upscale, or if it's more of a bar or more of a restaurant. It's a good spot to visit with friends, but it didn't necessarily give me "date" vibes -- hope that helps, but maybe I just made you as confused as I am. That said, the thin crust pizzas are yummy (the Diavolo is my favorite) and the cocktails are decent and not overpriced for the area. Service was good. So, I'd likely be back, just not sure for what occasion... read more

Came here around 6:45pm on a Tuesday and we were able to be seated immediately. Place is very cute and was buzzy even on a weeknight. Service was friendly and the pacing of the food was perfect, our mains came out just as we were wrapping up with our appetizers. We split a few dishes, starting with the chopped salad and the house bread. House bread is realistically a bit overpriced at $9 but everything else was very reasonable. Salad was good but a bit one-dimensional. We also got the cauliflower (decent, but missing something - a squeeze of lemon could have gone a long way). The buttermilk chicken sandwich ($19) was delicious but the fries were just okay. Portions of everything were large. Bill was very reasonable. I probably wouldn't rush back for any of the food, to be honest, but the vibes were nice. Maybe a good spot for a drink/app before getting dinner elsewhere. read more

Market rocks. Have had many menu items over the years with favorites being any of the pizzas, the chicken wings, and the star of this review, the milanese chicken sandwich. This is one of the greatest sandwiches I've ever had. Perfectly cooked fried chicken (healthy portion size too) on this pizza bread. Add some cheese and dressed greens and you got yourselves an amazing sandwich. Go to Market. Order some wings (partial to cajun) and get the milanese chicken sandwich. You can thank me later. read more

The food is always great. They have an awesome staff who all very attentive. I'll be back. Thank you.

Terrible. I placed a carry out online through their website, placed the order, paid, then a message pops up that says sorry we aren't accepting orders at this time. But they charged my card and took the money but didn't give me food or process the rest of the order. I'm sure this happens all the time to people who don't check their card statements and I'm sure they get away with stealing a ton of money. Called 5 times nobody picked up the phone. read more

Took some work colleagues there for dinner on a Wednesday. Got in without a wait. Service was excellent and food was very good.

I've had Market North End on my list of "must check out" since we moved here, and it's been nearly 2 years and I finally remembered and I'm kicking myself for not going sooner! This place is a GEM!!! We ventured in on a quiet Thursday, our first restaurant of 2025! I was so excited because my dad was in town for the holidays and I really wanted to take him somewhere phenomenal. All the reviews were SPOT ON and did NOT disappoint. We were instantly greeted by the poshest front desk hostess (so immaculately dressed in the cutest Sherpa moto jacket - I was smitten the moment I saw her) who was so warm and inviting. I came in with my two kids first (my husband and father joined us later) and she instantly sat us away from the crowds and in an intimate nook so my kids were free to roam and play while we waited for our food. So considerate. Our waiter was equally as friendly and so attentive! I forget his name but he had the kindest smile and was so adorable! He had the best food recommendations for us, and everything he suggested was fantastic. Despite going back and forth on what dish to order, I didn't feel rushed and he was very patient with our two kids and their raucous energy. Now, the FOOD!! Dear sweet baby Jesus - it was all AMAZING. We had the calamari w/ shrimp and please do NOT sleep on this app. The marinara sauce was delicious enough to drink. And the calamari was perfect and not rubbery at all. The shrimp was a nice surprise. We also had the Brussels sprouts and the sweet and spicy sauce was a nice balance. My kids ordered the Detroit style pizza (half pep and cheese) and - dare I say - it was even better than Buddy's my kids were blown away. I had the crispy chicken sandwich (although I hate fried chicken, weird I know) I was compelled to order it because the description was so tempting. I wasn't disappointed! So tender and juicy, and there was a slight honey aftertaste that I still can't stop thinking about. My husband had the lamb burger that was cooked to perfection and so delicious. My father had the trout with the avocado slaw. Seriously - we had ourselves a MEAL, ya'll. I'm still thinking about it. We will definitely be returning. The combination of stellar service and excellent food will keep Market North End at the top of our "go to" restaurant list forever. Don't even bother with the other restaurants in Birmingham, because Market North End is THE ONE read more

I've been here a few times. In general the service is poor. Last time I came I was seated and never addressed over the course of 15 minutes, so I ended up leaving. The food is mid and drinks are mid as well. They sell an ambiance but the service doesn't match it. read more

Had a good experience at the market. It was packed when my friend and I arrived on a Wednesday evening but we got a table right away somehow. The atmosphere was very loud, and it's only Wednesday, so I can only imagine how the weekends could get. If you want a quiet evening, my guess is, this isn't the place. My friend and I shared Brussels sprouts, a Caesar salad, a pizza, and chocolate butter cake. Pizza had sooo much flavor. The cake was moist, buttery and warm. Sweet but not too sweet. Everything was delicious. Our cocktails were also great. Will definitely be back. read more

It has been a hot minute since I was here and I'm not sure why I've been away so long! Food truly blew me away for the price point- some of the newer Birmingham spots have me expecting to be gouged for just OK food but I ordered the Branzini and it was fab! ($40 at Mex, $25 here) You should NEVER skip the bread service ($9 and sooooo worth it) but here are a few other surprises: Garlic Soup (comes out looking like French onion only prettier) was so good my friend said she's coming back just for that! Watermelon, feta & mint salad meant for sharing but finished solely by me! Tuna app can be a meal! Service was fantastic- so many places in town have unhappy staff (which points to very poor mgmt) but the vibe was light & comfortable here read more

Delicious, refreshing lunch at this spot juts away from the heart of Birmingham. Went with a friend and we ate outside. We started with the bread service - which was very tasty. And then had the chopped salad which hit the spot. Plus left overs for tomorrow as the amount was plentiful. The patio was great. The service was friendly but not timed quite right. Overall we enjoyed our meal. read more

Born and raised down here, I was excited to be back although so much of Bham has changed. Waahhh!! We walked in yesterday to grab a quick bite. Sat for 15 minutes before we were acknowledged. Yes they were busy for a Thursday at 3:30-4 but we were at a table that everyone walked passed- in the way-- if you will. I think that soured me. I seen 6 different servers and a manager and not one stopped to see if he had been helped. Nonetheless, finally ordered. House bread was best. Nothing comes out hot, just warm. The speed that which they came, coupled with the warmth of my dishes-- they had to be done in large batches and kept under a warmer. Nothing seemed fresh if that makes sense. Another thing, this is Birmingham I expect the restaurant to be kept up. The restaurant is dated and the baskets they have as lights are all askew. There is one to the right of the bar that was literally like a spot light on someone. But don't worry, they keep the place darker so.. All this for $100. Thanks but no thanks. read more

Oh my goodness, this place is so good! I think this is our favorite place my partner and I have discovered since moving to Michigan. On our first visit we were there on a Friday evening and were just going to have cocktails. We were seated at the bar, and were having such a fun time talking to people, including the great bartenders, that we decided to order dinner. I am so glad we did! We have been back two more times, and every time has been wonderful. It does get very busy later at night, but that makes it even more fun to me. Highly recommended! read more

Food has just gone down hill over the years. We ordered fries that must have been sitting out because they were completely stale.

Cute little restaurant & bar in the heart of downtown Birmingham. This little restaurant is pretty cool. They offer a great bite to eat and drinks to make for a great evening with your significant other or a group of people. It's pretty dark in here, but the ambience lighting makes it look pretty cool inside. The restaurant seems like a narrow hallway but it goes back pretty far. We've been in here a few times in the evenings and it gets pretty jammed after 7pm, so plan accordingly! It'll get really loud too inside. read more

Met up with a friend and enjoyed our dinner. Started with the calamari which was fried nicely and had spicy peppers. The Otto pizza was also very good with leeks, goat cheese and mushrooms. It has very good flavor and a nice crust. The mushroom pasta was a special and very flavorful. The one downside, is we wished the portion was a little bigger. I liked the decor and was popping on a Thursday night. Our server was very personable and helped by making suggestions on what she preferred and was very attentive the whole time. Definitely would go back. read more

We went here for a friend's birthday outing. We sat outside which was nice! It was a little cramped but not a problem. Our server was so nice and thoughtful. We tried a few things for the table: house bread, garlic chicken soup, chick pea soup, kale salmon salad, and arugula potatoes. We also tried the strawberry fields cocktail and the server suggested to me a blueberry mule mocktail. Everything tasted great. We also had a surprise cake for a friend that we asked if they could keep in the back. We will definitely recommend this place to others. read more

I've been a few times, and this last time it was just okay for me. The seating with the warm spring breeze was amazing. Our waitress was very good as well...but those were the highlights. I got a dip, but apparently, the dip does not come with anything (I mean anything) to dip in it. So you have to get the $8 bread, which was good but literally just one large piece of pita-ish bread. I also got Brussel sprouts, which were covered in sweet chili oil, maybe like 1 cup. If the oil was drizzled on, it would have been good but sweet Lord it was a lot. My friend got the chicken, which had been cooked within an inch of disintegration. The waitress took off the chicken, as well she should have. It was just ok for me. The drinks looked good...maybe that's where it ends. read more
