Eat and Drink

Restaurants are usually the first things people research when they're traveling to a new city and the Motor City has a ton of amazing eateries, but if you want Detroit food that speaks to the culture, this list is for you. There are a lot of styles of food and types of desserts that were invented right here and remain close to the hearts of Detroiters. If you start drinking with someone from the Mitten state, be prepared for them to start arguing with you about their best hot takes on coney dogs. 

Staring at your empty plate wishing the sandwich had been twice as large is never a good feeling. If you're trying to make sure you're never left craving more, check out these big meals and drinks in Michigan restaurants. The "bigger is always better" mindset might just have been proven by these spots. 

When you see a building from the road that is this vibrant and unique, you know there's going to be something interesting on the inside. Once you enter the Psychedelic Healing Shack & Vegetarian Cafe those suspicions will be confirmed, in the best way possible. Detroit restaurants often offer a lot of character and ambiance, but this takes the cake. 

You can eat lunch or dinner here and have either coffee or a real drink with it, depending on your mood. 

One thing that most millennials can agree on is that we like a good deal, especially when it comes to the most delicious food in the city. This list of Detroit buffets has everything from tacos to salads to sushi. If you ever find yourself staring longingly at your empty plate wishing you had more, why not get that plate from somewhere you can get up and get seconds?

A lot of bars claim to be speakeasies, but this bar in Royal Oak is a genuine speakeasy experience. It's a dim basement that makes you feel like you're sneaking some booze during the Prohibition era. Not just anyone can walk up to the door and enter. If you're intrigued by the secrecy, make sure to keep reading. 

It's so secretive that you need a passcode to enter that changes every day. You can give them your information on their site and they will text you the code. If you make a reservation on OpenTable, you'll also get the secret password.
