Thompson & Co.

The food is so delicious here. All made from fresh ingredients. 1) cornbread was so delicious and buttery and sweet2) fig pizza- outstanding, bursting with flavor.3) special crab boil- was so savory, fresh and delicious. 4) special king cake cheesecake- it was divine I love the ambience, very friendly staff with great service. I give them ten stars and can't wait to come back

Have to give the staff major props for dealing with my U10 soccer team coming in to celebrate their season. 30+ people in our group and they were on top of orders, separate checks, and a lot of energy. I've been a few times with friends and family outside of this and always found the staff friendly and the food good.

We sat outside because they were booked and our server didn't know we had been sat. As a result, we waited a long time for our drink order to be taken. We didn't even have to say anything about it, because management came over and apologized and offered us a free app. That went a long way for us. My husband picked the Louisiana Shrimp. I don't particularly care for shrimp but I did take the baguette and dip it in the sauce and let me tell you, it was delicious. My husband loved the whole thing. He ate it like it was supposed to be eaten: shrimp, baguette, spoon some sauce on them both. I went with the Dagwood sandwich, which was really good but MESSY. My husband had the Bayou Pasta. He didn't have a single complaint about it. Our boys enjoyed their meals off the kids menu, the kid's pizza was huge. And they also enjoyed dancing on the patio. Our server was so nice and pleasant. All across the board it was a 10/10 for us.

I want to love Thompson & Co, but every time I go something is just "off". They have a "secret" vegetarian/vegan menu that I've never received without asking. Always off putting, as if you don't know about it why would you ask. The vegan pizza is pretty good, but that is really the only vegan option. I typically sit at the bar and the service ALWAYS starts off good and then goes downhill. Four out of five times I've had to track someone down for the bill or another drink. If you're a meat eater and not in a rush, it's a cool place to stop, but otherwise it's a great stop for drinks (personally prefer MASH, though, nextdoor, but their hours are weird).

They have excellent fried chicken. I normally don't order chicken at a restaurant because we can make that at home, but this is my go-to here. We always start with skillet cornbread, which is scrumptious!Their macaroni and cheese is some of the best I've ever had. It's super cheesy, and in a good way! I restrained myself from stealing my daughter's leftovers the next day. My daughter enjoyed the chicken and sausage gumbo, even with the bit of kick it has. My mother-in-law ordered a salmon sandwich because she didn't want a large meal. She raved about how perfectly cooked it was and the seasoning being just right. I admit to being disappointed in the bramble I got today because it was absolutely nothing like the blackberry bramble I got a year ago, but it tasted ok. I wouldn't order it again unless I knew I was getting the version I got last time, pictured below. It is very loud in here when it's busy, so if that bothers you, go early or sit outside in warmer months. Outdoor seating is out front on what I guess you'd call their porch. If you're not ready to call it a night, head next door and have a night cap at their sister cocktail bar. Enjoy!

I really enjoyed this place. We went in on a Friday night and were seated right away in a booth. We had 3 appetizers: the crab dip (which everyone at my table enjoyed. Maybe I didn't give it a real try but it was just ok to me). The Brussels sprouts were good; Cooked well and seasoned well. Also whatever that shrimp appetizer is... TRY IT! 10/10 Minus one star because the couple we were with had some issues with the cocktails they were trying to order. My tip is to just order something straight or something off the menu. Other than that, the food is great!! My husband loves the fried chicken. It's off the bone. I had the shrimp étouffée. Another 10/10. I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

Fun concept infused with Southern classics like shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, skillet cornbread, etouffee, etc as well as your standard bar fare like pizzas, sandwiches, salads. We walked in on a Sunday around 1pm and were immediately seated. We could order from their regular menu or Sunday brunch menu. I got a Bloody Mary off the brunch cocktail list, and the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with mixed greens. My husband got their Pimento Bacon Burger with fries. All were tasty! The Bloody Mary was unique, topped with candied bacon, blackened shrimp, andouille sausage, pickles, cheese, an olive and a Cajun spice rim. Wow! All the garnishes were great, the shrimp and sausage especially fantastic. The drink itself was ok - a little watery and could have had more kick. The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich was good! Not very hot at all in my opinion. The chicken is pounded thin and had a nice crisp. Loved the pickles and slaw. The bun was good too, but very buttery/oily (so much so that a little grease was pooling on my plate) and I ended up taking the bun off halfway through. The side of greens was simple but did the trick. Also tried a bite of my husband's burger and it was good too! Seemed like a nice place to go for a super casual weekend meal AND also a nice spot for after church or an event. There were people there in sweatshirts as well as jackets and ties. Overall just a welcoming and approachable environment. Located in Ypsilanti's historic depot town, in apparently an old civil war era building! We are already planning to come back sometime for dinner to try their Bayou Pasta and/or Etouffee.

We are never disappointed with this quick service and excellent food here. Even without reservations we were promptly seated as they have plenty of space.

My girlfriend and I had dinner here back in April 2024. The restaurant is large and open with tons of seating so even though it was busy, we were seated immediately. I ordered the shrimp and grits and we split beignets for dessert - all very tasty! Our server was very knowledgeable and gave good recommendations. Everything was going fine until I looked at the bill. There were very random "service charges" added to the total and it rubbed me the wrong way. It all just seemed very greedy and unnecessary to pass operating costs onto the customer disguised as fees. For that reason, I won't be back.

We went during happy hour (I think it's from 4-6pm), sat in their deck in the nice weather for a quick drink and had some apps! During happy hour, it's $2 off wine and beer and $4 off the apps which they call Rations. The brussel sprouts were sweet (description does mention jalapeño honey- it's not hot/spicy at all, just sweet) which I don't prefer (I don't care for sweet veggies). Everyone seemed to enjoy the seafood spinach dip which comes with slices of bread. The cornbread that people raved about in past reviews was only so-so in my opinion but the super spicy jalapeño sauce (it comes on the side) helped. The service was very pleasant and overall good.I've heard great things about Thompson & Co- we will have to try some main dishes next time!! Ps. if you park in front of the houses (on the street) & walk over (it's really close), then you can get some free parking!
