Best part about this place is the decor. We had dropped our daughter off this weekend to start the summer bridge scholars and wanted to have lunch before we left and she had to go to the next event. Walked in there a few minutes from opening, absolutely NO ONE in there but us, thought we would have plenty of time to order and eat and go...NOPE. Waited 40 minutes, never got food, had to get it all to go so my daughter ended up eating on the run back to the dorm,we had to pull over to a gas station and sit and eat. When my husband complained about the wait we got told "well you came in when we opened so we probably weren't ready yet." Sorry, but you should be prepared to make food when you're open. Then there's the bill...talk about sticker shock. Be prepared have an extra 20% automatically added for a gratuity, which is in the fine print of the menu...we will never be back.

Took my daughter out for a break from dorm food. She enjoyed the spinach pie and I had the simple salmon dinner. Both were delicious and the atmosphere is great for any Michigan fan. Food came quickly and waitstaff was attentive.

Probably one of my favorite bars in South U. It's really chill, it has great prices, and the food is awesome! Bartenders are nice. It can get super busy on weekend nights or game days, so be prepared for that (but then again, all of Ann Arbor is busy on those days). Overall, good place to hang out.

Cool spot. Food was bland but apparently that typical of the Detroit metro area. My friend there who are from the south and west all agree to this opinion.

Food might be promising but the service was sooo slow. No reason, not busy. Sunday afternoon 2:30pm took forever to put in order, get food, silverware, etc. Waitress was nice and friendly, so not sure if kitchen was the issue. Table behind us had all sorts of service mishaps, including one not getting his meal at all. Will not be going back any time soon. As for the food, falafel plate under apps was nice along with chicken lemon rice soup. Burger was decent. Charles Woodson ham nothing special...corned beef reuben was good. Portions not big at all.
