The Most Delicious Breakfast & Brunch in Detroit

First Watch

★★★★☆ 3.9 (130) • $$

"Last Tuesday my boyfriend and I decided to have a breakfast date since we were in the area! It has been years since I was last at First Watch and he has never been before.The menu is simple but has a lot to offer. My boyfriend can be picky so he opted for the trifecta- bacon, eggs and a Belgium waffle. Yum! Can't go wrong with any of those! He said the waffle was very fluffy and the best he has ever had. The hot syrup is a nice touch!I had the breakfast tacos, which I am still thinking about two days later! Can't wait to go back soon!The service was super fast despite being a full house."

The Cracked Egg

★★★★☆ 3.9 (12)

"Excellent food, great service, easy parking. Veggie skillet and Hulk burrito are my favorites. Friendly staff, clean, comfortable and nice decor. Highly recommended. Usually here for breakfast, but occasional lunch is awesome, too."

Coeur

★★★★☆ 4.2 (59)

"The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. Their accommodation of our dietary restrictions and food allergies went above and beyond.The ambiance was lovely, with gorgeous wood details that tied the walls to the menu. They provided an annotated menu with all of the dairy free options, and the pastry chef Carla had made a special dessert option that was dairy free and gluten free just in case we wanted dessert. It was such a treat because restaurants rarely have dessert options I can eat, and it was also delicious.Will definitely return and recommend!"

R Diner

★★★★☆ 4 (128) • $

"A solid 4, 4-1/2 if there were 1/2 stars! Let me start with this: DON'T keep driving on by cuz it looks like a small Lil diner. It's got lots of booth space on the inside. And we all love the booth, right?BUT the real reason to stop is the GOOD FOOD!And the smiling happy friendly wait staff makes for an enjoyable meal all around.It was our first time here. But they're batting 1000 on the appetizers. I highly recommend the batter dipped LARGE mushrooms.My mushroom Swiss burger was good. But my wife's pot roast sandwich was GREAT. Super flavorful. I'm not going to tell you the secret...you'll have to come and find out for yourself."

Geneva's Burgers

"Best sliders in Detroit. Live in Denver now and can't come home without a visit. Highly recommended to all."

Main Street Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (16)

"The best hash browns anywhere !! It's great to have a nice place close to home for whatever you have a taste for !!!"

Village Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (110) • $

"My family has eaten here for years...it's a staple of the community if you asked me.Great and reliable selection of foods made freshly to order for a family friendly price. Nice clean restaurant and facilities...What more can I say?Oh, they've got great salads.Finally, the staff is really exemplary. A college level hospitality school right here in Farmington Hills!I recommend!"

Egg Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (37)

"I'm an "Egg Slut" slut and have always loved a good eggy brekky sando. There are a few good joints in Metro Detroit for this, but not nearly enough, and not nearly as tasty.Egg Bar may be the rebuttal. Though they clearly spent a good amount of their budget on the imaging and advertising portion of the business, all a bit extra for me, the food stands just fine on its own.So first, the Bacon Dlux. I loved the fluffy steamed egg and toasted Japanese milk bread. The turkey bacon could've been crispier, but that's a typical turkey bacon problem. The burnt onion jam, was a bit too thick and decadent for the sandwich, throwing off its balance. I adore fresh chives, of which it had a generous heaping of. Overall, a pretty damn tasty brekky wich!The truffle rosemary hash sticks were nicely done, flavorful, and extremely crunchy. Should've tried another sauce tho, as it came with the burnt onion jam.As far as the experience, top-notch. Customer service was friendly and welcoming, staff even reminded me that when you download their app you can save $5 off the first order. Of course I'm hitting that! Overall, I enjoyed my first time experience here! Definitely decadent and over the top so it'll be a while before I come back."

Jay Jay's Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.9 (238) • $$

"The food is really good here (I loved the lobster bisque & my friend loved her truffle fries), we liked our drinks and the restaurant is decorated nicely but the vibe here is strange. It's like they are trying to be trendy while also being a family restaurant. The customers were rude when I was there and it didn't help that the tables are way too close together. I think I need to try this place during the week and update my review but for now I will give jay jay's a 3/5."

Finjan Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (38)

"Service was great and friendly. Customer service was top tier. Ambience is calm, cozy, and pleasant. Dessert was spectacular and unique! The strawberry Milk cake was nothing short of perfection. 1/3/2025"

Zorba's Coney Island

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (46) • $

"It has been a long time since I have been to Zorba's. I got the coney special (coney, fries, and a Pepsi) which is a good deal for $9 considering today's economic climate. Very good coney, fries, and Pepsi. For some reason, the fries and pop always taste better at Zorba's."

Crawford's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (185) • $$

"We ate here with our daughter and boyfriend today for breakfast. Cute place and great food! The service was adequate and accommodating. Will definitely return!"

Toma's Coney Island

★★★★☆ 4.3 (24) • $

"I was visiting Michigan and this spot was literally a 2 minute walk from the Airbnb I rented on the same street. Food was tasty, well-seasoned, inexpensive, and my friend and I enjoyed it. That's all. Not much else to say. It's breakfast. Lol"

The Boro

★★★★☆ 3.9 (171)

"Drove by the DP all the time and finally decided to make reservations for brunch. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and a bit breathtaking. We were seated in the room, farthest to the main entrance, and could see the lake from our table. Service from the moment we walked in, till we walked out, was outstanding. We ordered a ham and cheese croissant, duck hash, side of fruit and cappuccinos. Everything was delicious but the dish that blew me away was the duck hash. It was like an explosion of flavors! Can't wait to go back to try other dishes. This is a great place for brunch and date nights!"

Village Kitchen

"Food was really good! Came out hot, fast and fresh. Service was really friendly prompt and helpful. Restaurant is very clean. A very nice sort of all American breakfast place. Price point is good! We were looking for something off the highway while traveling that had a good rating with good food and this fit the bill."

Toast

★★★★☆ 4 (839) • $$

"Wonderful atmosphere and ambience! Busy but still enjoyable and intimate. We arrived with a group of 7 and they seated us quickly even though the restaurant had a good crowd. The service was impeccable! Friendly and efficient. It's a very upbeat place and it felt comforting especially when the deliciously prepared entrees arrived. Loved the holiday decor! Sweet or savory: you cannot go wrong. Homemade breads, jams and sauces. A variety of hot sauces at the table is always a winner! This place totally hits! Would very much recommend!"

"Don't knock it till you try it! Had to see what all the hype on tik tok was about! Now I know!!! The Caesar chicken wrap was great! Everyone loved it! However, I personally would hold the sauce to be put on the side. Service was nice and knowledgeable. The deli looked like a cozy warehouse! Will definitely go back to try other items on the menu!"

French Toast Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (675) • $$

"I CANT WAIT TO GO BACK! Tip: go when they open at 9 if you're going on a Sunday. We got a table right by the door and saw just how busy this place gets. Amazingly friendly service, delicious Cajun/creole dishes, yummy coffee and cocktails; the list goes on. TONS of mimosa options!! Writing this review makes me want to go right now.Parking: shared lot with other businessesAttire: casual!"

Louie's Ham And Corned Beef

★★★★☆ 3.9 (156) • $

"After spending some time driving around Detroit, looking for a good breakfast spot, we popped into Louise on our way home. What a great idea! We sat at the bar, and though we ordered simple food items (they actually killed it with the poach eggs A+++), what most impressed me was the efficiency of the staff, and the cleanliness of the place. When you sit at the bar, you can look into the kitchen and the back serving station. Everything is clean and I think Restaurant managers should come and take note.There is no need to have a dirty restaurant! We'll definitely be coming back again, and again! Recommended for anyone who likes fast service, go to food, friendly, service, and a clean establishment! :-)"
