  • 1917 American Bistro

    Don and Katrina Studvent’s new place is a bistro, if there can be an American version with a soul food foundation, and no liquor license for a few more months. It’s a bistro in the sense that it’s a family-owned place that serves moderately priced, relatively simple dishes and simple meals. It’s pretty, with attractive prices and a $13 Sunday brunch buffet that includes catfish with grits, chicken with waffles. Other choices are fried potatoes, turkey sausage, country bacon, fried ham, fried turkey, omelets, French toast, fresh fruit, breads and pastries.

  • Back in the Day

    "Dinners include two sides plus cornbread ... fried catfish is a favorite! Also try the fried chicken, pork chops, or meatloaf. Sides include macaroni and cheese, collard greens, yams, black-eyed peas and other down-home favorites. For dessert, try sweet potato pie, peach cobbler or three-layer cake. Take-out only."

  • Baker's Cafe No. 2
  • Beans and Cornbread

    "Upscale traditional and non-traditional soul food served in a casually elegant ambience. Lots of African-American history to browse while dining."

  • Big Fellas Barbecue & Bakery

    The decorations are simple because this place is meant to be for carryout only. Big Fellas Barbecue and Bakery wants its customers to keep their focus strictly on the food. Greg and Valena Cade, both food-service veterans, opened Big Fellas to show off their cooking talents while fulfilling the soul food needs of hungry diners on the east side of Detroit. Big Fellas serves barbecued ribs, chicken, seafood, sandwiches, salads, soups and homemade desserts. The owners recommend that first-time diners try their rib snack, soul style wing dings or jumbo butterfly shrimp. To assure freshness and good quality, dishes are prepared right when you order.

  • Biscuits and Gravy Southern Bistro

    Downtown Windsor's home for downhome Southern comfort food in a casual fun atmosphere. Taking pride in making dishes from scratch like grandma used to, Biscuits' standard fare includes homemade breakfast sausage, hush puppies, gumbo, mac and cheese, collards, candied yams, sweet potato fries, fried chicken, fried catfish, sweet tea and much more.

  • Cafe D'Mongo's Speakeasy

    Open since June 2007 on Friday nights only, the “speakeasy” soon achieved critical mass , attracting a crowd of young, mostly white hipsters. What brings them? The drinks list is ordinary, and owner Larry Mongo is less than exacting when it comes to recruiting musicians. So it’s not the drinks and it’s not the tunes, and most patrons don’t hang out for late-night food, either. They could, though. The limited soul food menu features some very fine sides at $3 a la carte, and if the ribs and half-a-barbecued chicken aren’t world-class, they’re at least decent, served in a standard sweet-smoky sauce.

  • Epicurean Cafe (phone disconnected)

    Featuring chicken, fish, ribs, meatloaf, sandwiches, soups, and cheesy mac and cheese. Located in the Penobscot Building.

  • Flood's Bar & Grille

    Popular spot for afternoon networking and late night clubbing! Located in a beautiful historic building near Greektown. Known for its magnificent bar and live entertainment. Appetizers, sandwiches, soulfood. Live jazz, R&B and top-40. Best of Detroit 2002 Best place to move and shake You can tell by the bottlenecked line of glimmering Jags, Beemers, Mercedes and SUVs lined up for valet parking that this is a nightspot where the Motor City’s elite come to meet. The food’s OK, but that ain’t the point; it’s the tailored clientele and top-shelf booze that really sets Flood’s apart. And when the band kicks on, the place really starts to thumpin’. Precaution: Don't wear jeans and flip-flops.

  • Franklin Street Restaurant
  • Harold's Chicken Shack

  • Kingdom Men's Cafe

    The Kingdom Men's Café, which opened in October 2002, is a project of the East Lake Baptist Church.

The menu follows a standard formula among soul food restaurants: entrées, sides, cornbread and dessert. Entrées include baked and fried chicken, catfish and fried and smothered pork chops.

  • Designer Drugs
    Designer Drugs 5/23 9:30PM
     

    New York-based DJ-production duo Designer Drugs apparently clocked up more than 300,000 air miles in the past year, highlighting the fact that these two men are as busy as almighty fuck right now. The album Hardcore/Softcore is set to drop, and the guys (Patrick and Theodore Paul Nelson) have been remixing everyone from Mariah Carey to Thieves Like Us. They’re nothing if not in-demand, and one listen to “Dead Meat” will tell you exactly why. They offer uncompromising, heavy and kinda nasty club tunes that have an industrial edge and a touch of punk too. Got to love that combo.

  • Chromatic Jackie • Magas

    This multimedia performance at the Museum of Contemporary Art could be a great way to get into alignment for a weekend of electronic music. The headline act is Chromatic Jackie, a collaborative ensemble is made up of a dancer, a musician and a visual artist. The trio, which recently made its first live appearance at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design, mixes computer-generated visuals from artist Dana Bell, sound fragments from Sam Consiglio (formerly of Adult. and Tamion 12 Inch) and movement from dancer Sari Nordman, all choreographed to an original sound piece written for this project. James Marlon Magas will perform as Magas, and the guy has been making music since he was in avant-rock bands Couch and Lake of Dracula in the early 1990s. He’s gone on to become an electronic solo musician with releases on the Ersatz Records label. Between performances, super-popular DJ sets from Disco/Secret and Macho City.
