District 12 - Dearborn Heights

This review is long overdue. So long overdue that I can't even remember what was wrong that I couldn't order a shake, and that's the only reason I stopped by. Since I wasn't able to try a shake, I settled for an order of Cajun fries so it wouldn't be a wasted trip. The fries were definitely good but not great. I'll give a solid 3 stars until I can return and try more items.

Went here to meet a friend for lunch before the holidays. The place was mostly empty, and we ordered at the counter. The people at the counter were pleasant and helpful when I asked questions about the menu, since it was my first time there. The place was a bit spartan/minimalist inside, with mostly just tall metal chairs and tables.My Nashville Hot crispy chicken sandwich was good. The bun fell apart a little bit while eating, so I had to go get a fork and knife to finish it. I loved the chicken, which was super tender, and the spices and seasonings and toppings were spot on. Just needed a more serious bun to hold all of that goodness together and keep it as a hand-held lunch.The sandwich was $13, though, without any sides. Adding a small fry was $5. Adding a lemonade was another $2.25. My simple lunch of a chicken sandwich, fries, and a drink was over $20, and that's before tax and tip. I don't feel like the meal was "$25 lunch" level of good. I can get a steak dinner with two sides and a beer at many other restaurants at that same price point.I don't anticipate going back to District 12 unless they have a lunch special that brings the total cost of a lunch similar to the one I got down in the $15 range.

I ordered the crispy honey siracha wrap (can also get it grilled) with tomato tortilla (you can choose that, white or wheat) and the Mac and cheese bites. He made my order a combo and I got a drink. I was told I could choose fountain or can, I opted for fountain. They have Pepsi products. My total came to $20.00. This place is small but cute inside with a lot of Detroit themes on the wall. You can eat in or take your food to go, they even had connect four and cards sitting out for people to play with. Everything seems to be made fresh and I was told my food would be ready in 12 minutes...it was (actually may have been less than that). I've been seeing this place when driving around the area and when I pulled up their website EVERYTHING looks amazing. I definitely want to work my way through the menu! I really wanted to try a shake but opted to be healthy (lmao) so will save that for next time! I've never had Mac and cheese bites and these were good, very crispy and cheesy with a creamy texture and good flavor. I thought they would be like a cheese stick but they decidedly are not. My wrap was good, the siracha for sure was present, very spicy! Almost too spicy for me. I think they may have burned my chicken because there was a distinctive charred taste in there that was off putting but overall the wrap was still pretty tasty. I dipped it in the ranch and that took it over the top in the best way. I wouldn't get the siracha honey again but they have a ton of other items and wraps that I would like to try.

Food as amazing here both locations I've been guys behind the counter are very helpful with describing the menu and just nice people in general

One of those places you're like wait am I in the right place? Once walking in and ordering food then eating it oh yes it's the right place. Only thing that stopped me in the past from trying here was looking for delivery but on the way home thought about it and stopped in. Got burgers, fries and milkshakes. Tasted so yummy and the workers were very nice. Greasy in the best way

Great burgers, wraps and chicken sandwiches. My family ordered a weird bunch of day and it was no problem not putting on items even down to one kid who wanted a beef patty with cheese and nothing else! Very friendly order taker and busy chef. The place was clean and brightly lit from the big eastern facing windows.

The food is always delicious and the service is quick and reliable. I would recommend this place for a family meal out. The restaurant isn't that large but it is very inviting and cozy.

I've been hearing about the Nashville hot chicken sandwiches at District 12 for a while and finally convinced my family to try them. We tried two trios of sliders - the Nashville Hot and the Nashville Not (no spice). Both were very good and two sliders for each person was plenty of food. We all preferred the Nashville Hot because of the added flavor - the heat builds on you - it doesn't seem too hot at first but you can definitely taste it later. We were interested in sides too but couldn't find fries or onion rings or anything like that in their online menu. Reviews seem to indicate they have them, but I really wish they would add them to their site so carryout diners know the full options. The restaurant is very attractive and would be nice in summer when you can dine on the patio.

That chicken bacon ranch pizza had my toes curled and the cheese bread cheese pull was amazing 10/10 come back again clock it babyyyyy

The Nashville hot was good the Cajun fries were ok not seasoned thoroughly and a regular fry feeds 2.
