From all of the model Ts to…read morecheck out (including one hanging from the ceiling above the bar!) to the restaurant logo grilled/stamped into the burger buns, there is something to look at EVERYWHERE in this restaurant! I personally really love the ice strip that they have around the entire bar - it's an area to set your drinks that keeps them icy cold for the whole dining experience. The Happy Hour specials are amazing and the draft selection is always on point! The bartenders are wonderful and provide excellent service any time of day. I'm even more impressed now that the manager/owner replied to my review. And in such timely fashion! Excellent customer care all around. I will be visiting again soon!

The interior decor is nice, it obviously car themed hence the name. They have 2 bars and plenty of tables to accommodate large parties. I opted for a turkey burger with green beans to keep things healthy. I enjoyed both. The waitress mentioned the green beans are crunchy but that's the way I like them. I suppose if you like yours a bit more cooked, then ask to have them sautéed longer but I liked them how they were. I heard so many good things about this place so I was happy to finally stop by. I can't wait to come back. They also have a location in Utica now.

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.

Our flight landed late at night and there weren't a lot of options, so I wasn't too optimistic despite the high reviews. I stand to be corrected. Do not treat this like gas station food. Although, they don't have water (you gotta buy soda or water from the convenience store connected), so it doesn't feel quite like a full restaurant either. Anyways, it was late at night, but the employees were busy prepping togo/takeout orders. Despite that, they took time to go over the menu with us, and made recommendations based on our personal preference. They also gave us ideas on how we can customize our order. They made everything fresh, so we had some time to walk around the convenience store. After walking around, we decided to wait at the table. The staff saw us and they kindly brought the food over to the table. I don't know if they normally do that, but they're definitely one of the best fast-food service I've had. As for my burger, I didn't want something heavy so I went for a basic burger. The burger was...basic, but good. I stole a bite of my husband's spicy burger and that was amazing. I wished I didn't try his before having my own because I am a bit biased because of that. My husband also went back for round 2 of ordering...with the loaded fries....it was indeed very loaded, and to be honest, way too salty for me. However, it was customized based on my husband's request so it combined multiple seasoning.

We ordered salad, falafels, lentil soup, French fries, rice, chicken, and hummus. The falafel was different from the usual falafel you get elsewhere, It was much softer and had such a delicious, moist texture, now.... they cook the best lentil soup I've ever had in my life!! French fries were cooked perfectly. The chicken breast was also really GOOD!! My husband ordered a full portion of chicken, and he was blown away by how flavorful and tender it was. And the hummus is an absolute MUST. I LOOOVE IT!!!! We ordered way too much because everything looked so good, and at some point we literally had to tell ourselves, "Okay, we need to stop eating." Lol We live in Chicago, and I tbh.... can't think of a Mediterranean restaurant there that compares to this place. Plus service and staff was great, and the aesthetic of the place is beautiful, super chic!

As for an appetizer we ordered these Pretzel sticks which were soft and chewy and then the cheese that came with it was delicious. The burger I had was called "Fire Haven" it had onions, tomato and jalapeños on it with 2 hamburger patties, it had lettuce but I asked for no lettuce since we have this parasite going around the U.S. right now, The burger was quite tasty and very fulfilling, the jalapeño had a nice crunch to it and the meat was seasoned very well. I also ordered a German Dunkel beer which I didn't really care for, I thought I would like it cause I love dark beers but I guess I don't like German dark beers. Everything here was so good.

The food itself was decent--nothing particularly memorable, but perfectly acceptable for a hotel breakfast. The selection covered the basics, and everything tasted fresh enough to start the day. Service, however, was quite slow. It seemed clear that the restaurant was understaffed, and the few employees working were doing their best but couldn't keep up with the number of guests. As a result, it took a while to get certain requested refills on the buffet. Overall, the breakfast was fine, especially considering it was included with the stay, but the wait time and lack of staff made the experience less enjoyable than it could have been.

My tastes buds were enthralled by the distinctively, yet fittingly subtle lemony goodness of the hollandaise enrobing the perfectly poached eggs of the BLT Benedict, paired with seasoned potatoes that were just right. Note that it comes with an arugula salad, but feeling that eggs Benedict with a salad was a bit far a field from my expectations, I took the option on the menu to substitute seasoned potatoes for the salad. The bacon came correct, crispy and thick. The menu mentions avocado as part of the dish, but I literally got one small slice. Nonetheless, the dish was delicious. Our server was quick and attentive, and we enjoyed the farm-chic interior with views of the passing trains.

Actually, his words were it was "just okay". At the time, I thought it was his fault. Like, why would you order a burger at a breakfast joint? But whatever he doesn't like breakfast.. anywho I have 0 pictures from yesterday because I was so annoyed. It distracted me from pics but just imagine french toast with strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream , and (what we were told was strawberry sauce drizzled over it) I am writing this review because the level of negligence, poor communication, and awful customer service at this establishment is a massive safety hazard. My Sister and I were here yesterday around 1pm . We ordered some coffee drinks and chatted with the waitress a bit, she mentioned she had been there for over 20 years. So she worked there the under the previous names but same owners, Kikos and before that i cant recall the name . We decided to split the Very Berry French toast. My sister immediately asked, does it have raspberries on it? Because i'm allergic to raspberries. Waitress replies , no ," we don't even have raspberries here" I take a quick glance at the menu and notice that there is raspberry sauce on the Monte cristo. So I say , please make sure there's no raspberry sauce because I do see that on the menu and Just to reiterate , she is allergic to raspberries , so please make sure...and she said , no problem! Drinks come, were chattng , the french toast comes out, looks amazing. We each take one bite from each end. And we both look at each other bc we immediately notice raspberry taste. I immediately waved the waitress over to the table and told her we tasted raspberry, she said, "there's no raspberries in that, but if you want, I can have them remake it" she seemed annoyed. We were speechless , waitress then quickly left to have it remade u assume? Idk ! Even tho my Sis only took one bite and stopped eating, she still suffered an immediate allergic reaction including a swollen tongue and hives in her throat that lasted for days. My sister had to leave immediately to get medication from a pharmacy, while I stayed at the table to wrap things up. I Spoke to the manager and explained what happened, the response was completely unbelievable. Instead of apologizing, she defended the staff, saying, "She didn't do it on purpose, it's not her fault." It turns out the kitchen ran out of strawberry syrup and they substituted it with raspberry syrup. attention owners if you change an ingredient--especially a common allergen--you MUST inform your staff. Also, a server.. (especially one that's been around the block for like 20 years as she said) should know better- always write allergy alerts on the kitchen ticket. The manager offered to remake the food, but I told her, "No, please don't, she's probably not going to eat it, we don't trust you at this point." She brought out a remade plate anyway, so I started to box it up. At that point, my sister came back from the pharmacy and told me her throat was swelling and itchy really bad and we needed to leave immediately. I left the food. As we got up, I noticed they left a bill for our two lattes and only took off the French toast. We hadn't even had a chance to drink the lattes!!!!! We went up to the front counter to clarify since the manager said it would be taken care of. The cashier went back to talk to the manager, and I could see them arguing back-and-forth about it. At that point, I was so incredibly annoyed that I waved my money in the air and said, "You know what, never mind, I'll pay for the lattes." I told the cashier, "This is unbelievable. They literally poisoned my sister, but we are still paying for lattes we couldn'teven enjoy" I threw the cash down on the desk and walked out. They are incredibly lucky my sister only took one bite. Avoid this place at all costs if you have food allergies.
