| - We happened to spot this place while driving down Detroit, both with empty stomachs. Boy, am I glad we took a chance. The name was the first thing that drew me in, and with a small crowd inside, I figured it had to be at least decent.
What an understatement!
We shared the Southwest egg rolls as an appetizer, and they alone are worth a comeback trip. These babies blow your typical Applebees/Chili's right out of the water. ZESTY!!
I had the chicken-dumpling soup, and The Biff sandwich. Both were great. I'm not typically a fan of chicken-dumpling, it just seems so overdone.. and yet again, the spice was perfect and lively in this.
My man had the Fish'n'Chips (comes with slaw and home fries). The batter was just right-- crunchy, but very very thin; didn't detract from the flavor of the fish itself. Just the way it's SUPPOSED to be. :)
If I have one tiny complaint, it's the cole slaw. Needs some serious livening up, though I feel bad complaining at all.
There was also a VERY attractive dessert case, but we were too stuffed to try any of the amazing layer cakes.
It is hard to put this diner in the right price range-- by all means, if you're looking for a cheap lunch, stop by. The entrees themselves don't go over $9, and my meal was only $6, but I couldn't justify under "$$ per person" with drinks included.
All in all, for a place that's only been around since Dec 11 2009, this "diner" has more than earned a spot in my heart forever.
