Recognized as Michigan’s best fried chicken by several media outlets. Our favorite dish happens to be the Bayou Fried Rice. Great craft cocktails and live music on the weekends.

Great vibe with craft coffee. The employees are the best part, extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They roast all of their coffee in house. My go-to Is an Iced Farmers Market. It’s not on the menu so you’ll instantly feel like a regular.
