    1917 American Bistro

    19416 Livernois Ave. Detroit

    (313) 863-1917

    ,
    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.

    Cafe D'Mongo's Speakeasy

    1439 Griswold Detroit

    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.

    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.

    Kingdom Men's Cafe

    12400 E. Jefferson Detroit

    (313) 821-2671

    The Kingdom Men's Café, which opened in October 2002, is a project of the East Lake Baptist Church. The food is equal to many other soul food restaurants, but it costs less, your plate sits on linen tablecloths and the service is fastidious. 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.

    "Lazybones Smokehouse is one of Metro Detroit's most popular barbeque restaurants. A pick-up and delivery barbeque joint, Lazybones Smokehouse is top notch. Fresh quality meats and chicken are cured and smoked fresh everyday using apple wood harvested right in Michigan. Lazybones Smokehouse is a different kind of barbeque joint, not like any other in the area. Our motto is pig up and pig out!"

    (313) 556-9993

    Upscale soul food? Yes, the Southern Hospitality Group has brought catfish and fried okra to the plush confines of the Fisher Building. Most of the Café’s offerings merit the “upscale” label only in price. The results are uneven, with some fantastic traditional dishes and some that simply reiterate a debased version of Southern cuisine.
