Really cool menu. Food is fresh, well prepared and a good value. The staff was very friendly and helpful. As the menu has a lot of options, I had lots of questions and the nice guy taking my order was really nice and patient. I really enjoyed the quesadilla and grilled sausage. I couldn't eat my sandwich so I took it with me after finishing the other food eating in. The sandwich was on point and tasty! The Halloween season decorations were fun but the lighting is a definite ambience killer. Place was clean but the partially lit bare fluorescent tube lighting needs replacement. That won't stop me from going back though. A few more tables or a couple booths along the wall would make it more inviting, but that's not what I go to a restaurant for, it's the food. The food and the nice people here are worth the trip. read more

We've been coming to this wonderful establishment since we bought our house in OP in 2018. The food is always on-point; we've never had anything bad from here [I don't think it's in their nature!] The minute you walk in the door, you're treated like family. The food is on-par with what my friends' mamas made down in the city back n the day. It's all comfort food, tbh. So much homemade stuff, too! Don't sleep on the gumbo, the BBDs [#iykyk, but they're beef dip sammies & they're amazing!], or the amazing salads! We're a fam of 4: 2 adults & my teen/20-something daughter. My older daughter is picky as heck & she still always finds something she loves to eat here. My husband and I are forced to eat on the healthier side bc of health issues & we're addicted to some of the salads. Everything is made with love & heart! You defo won't go hungry either! Can't recommend Pik Nik enough! The owner & her fam are amazing! read more

Overly expensive, food was a little small and dry. I expected super food considering the prices. I would not recommend this place. I got the 9 mile club, which had less filling than a homemade sandwich. My wife got the Big Willie Philly, which was tasty but also small. I also got a chicken cordon Bleu pita, which was dry even with the house sauce. read more

I love visiting this family owned business whenever I visit Detroit. Although wait times can be long if you don't call your order in ahead of time, everything is fresh and made with love. They cook and bake everything. And when I tell you it's the bomb???!!! Everything is the bomb. My favs: seafood gumbo (Fridays and Saturdays only); strawberry shortcake cupcake, banana pudding, ALL the smoothies, and turkey chilli. read more

They are open until 8 PM today, Grill shut down by 7:30 PM. It's next to a sushi place. It's mostly a carry out spot. We ordered the Greek salad with grilled chicken, Greek dressing and a chicken Cobb salad with Vidalia vinaigrette. The cookies, brownie, parfait and muffins all look good. Keeping it simple since it's late and I am not terribly hungry either. The Cobb salad was good for my hubby. The chicken is cold and a bit dry. The Greek salad isn't bad. Same cold and dry chicken. The dressing is decent. The yellow pepper is potent and tasted a bit off to me, happy there was only one. I let the woman behind the counter know. Service is warm and friendly. The plating and presentation here is quite good, even for our carry out containers. read more

I finally was in the area to visit Pik Nik Basket to see what the hubbub has been :). I didn't get the standard sandwich but, a veggie quesadilla. I wasn't hungry enough for the sandwich and the quesadilla was a perfect size. It tasted great! Plenty of spinach, some cheese prominent. What was a great surprise was I took away dessert, the red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting. Sinfully good!! I will return for a sandwich but, will be tough to decide which one!!

Customer service is impeccable! Top tier. The menu is large enough for there to be options for everyone! And so many vegan options! I don't eat meat outside of fish so I love that! I can eat and so can the kids all on ONE PLACE! If you're a mom of more than one, you already know how amazing it is when you find somewhere that everyone can eat on one stop! I love the smoothies! They are filling, fresh, and really get me through the work day. No additives, no sugared up fruit juices, no ice so it won't get watered down. Just frozen fruit, almond milk, fresh herbs and ingredients and LOVE :)! And the ambiance is family friendly, date friendly, laid back and honestly just perfect for what ever you've got in mind. The owner is friendly, customer oriented and provides a culture in here like no other. I love this black owned business and the food is SO GOOD!

We had the pita chips, tuna and beef sandwiches, and cookies. They make all of it themselves. The owners have been catering for years. Nice people. Great food, pretty good prices.

Been 2x. Gumbo, pastrami & turkey sandwich, lemon/blueberry cheesecake parfait were all good and satisfying. The gumbo can be a tad spicy but once mixed well it wasn't so bad. Tried the nachos on the first visit, honestly didn't care for the tortilla chips used or cheese sauce. Meat was seasoned ok. But definitely will be back.

There's nothing that can stop these guys. Great menu, food feels and tastes like your family made it, above and beyond excellent service. Stumbled across this place and was welcomed with opened arms. Mr. Will and Ms. Nikki and the family has generously given my family and I all the love they could possibly give inside each and every dish I've ordered. From the the Turkey Chili to Tomato soup, all have been made in house and fresh that day along with their delicious pastries like the Strawberry Cheesecake Muffin to Peach & Apple Cobbler. The space inside is roomy and even has a chess table in front of you ever want to spark up a game if you're waiting. Cant forget to mention Aliyah and DJ whose helped guide me to try different dishes and arrangements to satisfy my family's needs as we're always open to try new things from these guys. They're always open for constructive criticism towards service and food suggestions that the people truly love like the Blueberry & Apple cobbler. See you guys next week! read more

I came in here one time for lunch from work, and instantly felt very silly due to the fact that it was looking like a children's play area/ immitation piknik area. I ordered a turkey chili and a Greek chicken salad, it took quite a while for them to have it done and I was the only one there that had ordered anything at the time, the other person there was already having there meal. Aside from the very long wait, the food was very bland and didn't have much flavors in it. The chili needed a lot of love and the salad too. They didn't have salt or pepper shakers for tables so she put some in a mini cup for me and I also wanted a lime wedge to try and doctor up the bland chili. It didn't work. The lady and other younger woman there were very kind, nice, and polite and their service was excellent. Unfortunately the food and silliness of the shop ruined it for me. read more

In search of something healthful, I found Pik Nik basket while searching Yelp. I had seen the sign on a small strip of stores on 9 Mile, but never ventured to see what it was. Boy, I should have. I've been driving further to get smoothies, when I could have been patronizing this little gem. I went in close to closing last night and was greeted by a lovely family who welcomed me warmly. We chatted about the many healthful options on their menu and even discussed several other topics while I waited on my order. The young lady who served as the cashier was very sweet and humorous. Stopping in made my night and absolutely sealed the deal for me coming back often. I ordered a smoothie which was chock full of goodness including peaches, spinach and kale. I can't remember them, but it also contained other fruits. The combination was divine and I can't wait to have another. I also had chicken salad on a croissant. The salad was fresh and flavorful. The croissant was flaky and tasty. The total for my sandwich and smoothie was about $12.50. I was very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely Yelp about it with folks who live in the area. read more

I've been a patron since they opened. I love their energy. My favorite item is their tuna sandwich served on a croissant with swiss cheese. I've never had a soup there I didn't totally enjoy. The gumbo is off the chain good. Their baked good are always a hit for me. No I didn't enjoy the seafood grilled cheese, but I knew when ordering I was a purist. They are on the delivery platforms.

If you are looking for a solid sandwich or salad this is the place! Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, this family owned establishment is a great addition to the neighborhood. Their soups are delightful too! I had the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and it was fresh and delicious. It was large enough to split between two people. They do let you try the soup before you order it, plus! I had the turkey chili and it was very yummy. I just wish they offered a smaller size as they only come in 16oz. But that's ok, enough for lunch tomorrow! I tried the seafood gumbo, and for not being a very adventurous eater it was delicious too! They also offer fresh fruit smoothies, nachos and fresh baked goods! They were so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back. read more

It's relatively small inside, but the outdoor seating is comfortable, and the bar looks like a great place to sit if you can grab a seat. The service was outstanding. Everyone knew the menu inside and out, had great recommendations, and kept everything moving at the perfect pace. We tried both the hot and cold lobster rolls, and both were excellent. The Millennium Falcon seafood tower was the star of the meal--fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely worth ordering. The oysters were some of the best I've had recently, especially considering we're this far from the ocean. The crab dip was unique, flavorful, and something I'd happily order again. The only dish that didn't quite hit for me was the lobster gnocchi. It was presented beautifully, but for my palate there was just a little too much tarragon in the cream sauce. That's more of a personal preference than a flaw in the dish. The restrooms were clean, parking is limited, but so is the seating, so it seems to balance out.

Our waitress was fantastic. She walked us through the specials and was extremely patient with us trying to decide what all to order. 10/10 service. The food was spectacular. We started with a dozen oysters. They were fantastic. Didn't even need cocktail sauce or mignonette. We also did an order of the buffalo halibut cheeks which was a special. Wow. What a dish. Not too spicy in part because of the ranch that came with it; the cheeks were perfectly cooked. They could not have been more tender. One of the best bites I've had in quite some time. We did another dozen oysters which came from a different spot. I thought that was a nice touch. For $2 an oyster, they were begging us to order haha. Seriously though; fantastic deal. Finally, I had the fish sandwich. The tartare sauce was a bit overpowering but I liked the taste so no complaints. Fish was perfectly fried and I liked the inclusion of pickles of which there were many. A very solid fish sandwich. They brought us a brownie and a bit of ice cream on the house which I very much appreciated. Talk about a delicious brownie. It had no right being that good. Must order. Glad I finally tried Voyager and I can't wait to return. I could see this getting a Bib Gourmand Michelin recognition next year.

We also ordered Mongolian beef and also chicken and vegetables in brown sauce with rice. Also so very fresh, hot and tasty! Only $12 each.

Only recommendation is that the exterior is scary - windows dirty and pictures gray and faded. Interior is cluttered and does not look clean. Owner should make an effort to fix it up to attract more business!

Parking was no problem as I was lucky to find metered parking just steps away from the front door. I walked in immediately taken with the charming decor and darkly lit romantic vibes, which is my favorite esthetic for any restaurant. The seating at the bar was yummy, thick comfy seats. The bartender greeted me warmly. He was cool and I hate that I didn't ask his name. He was attentive and masterful with the spirits. He asked if it was my first time, which it was, and since so, made me a tasty "welcome" drink with gin that was fantastic. I also ordered "the panty snatcher" a concoction of vodka, grapefruit, St Germain, rose water and orange. It was amazing. I will definitely be back for drinks. The drink menu is quite tempting. I had the Corn, Corn, Corn dish, which is polenta and corn kernels topped with popcorn. Yes, super unique and interesting. I had to try it. The popcorn was so light and flavorful straight out of the kitchen, but became chewy as it sat atop the piping hot polenta. I really enjoyed it however. Next time I'll eat all the popcorn first. I also had lobster dumplings, which was good but the dish wasn't cooked through. The filling wasn't hot and the pasta was very under on some bites. I was the first customer for the evening, so I can forgive that faux pas. I really enjoyed myself and I will return time and time again to try everything. The menu offers many things I love. Great concept. Cool vibes.

The food is EXCELLENT! They cateted an event for my office ... A taco bar with ground turkey everything. It was so fresh and delish and those chicken salad croissant sandwiches melt in your mouth. They make healrhy smoothies like no other! I literally grave them. It's a family owned business and they know how to make you feel like you're one of the family.

Coolidge Cafe

Have you watched a movie and a character mentions a food item and you just gotta have it? Well…read moretoday's food item was an omelette mentioned in the series Mindhunters. So, I searched Yelp for 'omelette' and they never disappoint. Coolidge Café is located on 9 Mile Rd just east of Coolidge Rd. Their street sign says it plain as day for all to see - Coolidge Café Specialty Omelettes. Another sign says, they have had the best omelettes in town for over 40 years!!! They are open daily from 7am - 3pm. I studied the menu with a peeked interest. The menu has 27 Omelettes to choose from PLUS an Omelette Your Way option with your choice of meats, veggies and cheese. Each omelette is prepared with 5 eggs and served with hash browns or grits and toast. Yes, 5 eggs! After studying this large selection, I settled on the Coolidge Omelette with grits and wheat toast. Sunday brunch was delicious and filling! Besides omelettes, their menu is vast with other breakfast favorites, griddle, sides and breakfast wrap options. Their menu continues with soups, salads, wraps, burgers, sandwiches, melts, pitas, Coolidge dinners, Italian, Mexican, Seafood, Desserts and Side offerings. They also have a kids menu. Debbie was focused on placing those orders at the counter when I walked in to place my takeout order. She took my order with precision and brought my order to me where I was seating at a table by the door. Note: A 3% fee will be added to all credit card orders. The parking lot and the restaurant were pretty full. Although there was no wait time for a table. The seating options are typical cafe table and chairs. They were fully staffed to handle their patrons.

When I questioned it, I was told it is assumed that folk will pay by CC, so they automatically up charge by 3%. If, when you get to the register, and you pay by cash, they remove the 3%. Guess what? They don't. Stay aware. It's just a few cents, but it's YOUR few cents.. The food is great, service was great, wait time was within reason. Just check your bill price against the menu price.. Three stars only, because of this..

There were little chunks of meat and cheese atop a bed of romaine and they provided two little cups of the honey mustard dressing. There was also a hard boiled egg, cucumbers and maybe one cherry tomato (would have probably liked a few more tomatoes).

It ended up being the biggest waste of time and money for a meal that I could remember. First, the positives. The people were very friendly. Every employee we spoke to was pleasant and helpful. And the atmosphere was nice and the place was beautiful in its own way. But pleasant employees and attractive ambiance will only go so far if the food isn't good. The only part of the meal I thought was good was the macaroni and cheese, which was comparable to Popeye's. It wasn't great, but was the best part of the meal. My wife didn't want to finish hers because she didn't like it. As for the mashed potatoes, I could tell they had been made with fresh potatoes because I did find a lump or two, but this place has the distinction of being the only place I've ever been that was able to get real potatoes to taste like instant potatoes. You could not taste ANY butter or cream in them. The beef LOOKED amazing but stopped at looks. Nothing I ate was memorable in a good way. Nothing I ate made me want to return. And NOTHING we ate was worth the $60 we paid for just the two of us.

I ordered my sandwich only mayo (they were charging 1$ for mustard) so I didn't get it. They had lettuce and tomato and no mayo. They also grilled my sandwich and I said I didn't want it grilled. The gumbo was a gravy, not soup. There was a sprinkle of rice in there. The shrimps were nice pieces but that was the only good part. They didn't have anything that made it look or taste as gumbo. For the price and quality I would not go back.

For the first five years I came here I ordered Christine's Famous Bomb Burrito. It's that good and I wasn't going to dive into the questionable stuff on the menu. Shame on me! Baba's Pierogis and their Potato Pancakes are wonderful but I recommend the Combo Platter so you can also experience the sausage and the sauerkraut (Kapusta). A quick chuckle: Mrs. E. only eats cold borscht. So we order it and it cools on the table and becomes our dessert. Most everyone I introduce to Christine's become regulars and it ain't because of me! 08/25
