De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: Are you a bud light kind of person? Labatt blue? Then Ashley's is probably not for you. If you want to try a variety of beers, or perhaps you don't really like alcohol that much but want a nice place to go, Ashley's is for you. Among their list of drinks (over 100 alcoholic beverages), they have a Framboise at 2.5% (which is good for those who aren't a huge fan of alcohol) and a Mead at 19% (which is good if you think 5% is not good enough). They have plenty of local beers and there's a blackboard as soon as you enter listing their list of rotating taps. They also have a lot of foreign beers to try and a lot of different samplers so you can get a taste of what they have to offer. They get only 4 stars because their happy hour is nothing special compared to other campus bars and the service is decent. Also, the entrance/exit is annoying when they are busy, which seems like all the time. And, I can't imagine it being a good idea to have bathrooms down a flight of stairs for any bar. Their pizza is decent and their spinach dip thing is also really good. If you go there a lot, they have a rewards program, which seems kind of fun if you are up to trying all the beers they have! -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: The first time I went to Bailey's was for a birthday party. It was after midnight, and I was starving. I didn't want to fill up on alcohol, and to my surprise the kitchen wasn't closed. The menu offered one of my favorites (Chicken Alfredo) and I was sold. I asked for broccoli, and it was delicious. Their Cookie dessert... so delicious. I usually get caramel instead of fudge, and it's even better! While later at night, their service isn't necessarily the best, during the day the service is prompt and great. The music is somewhat loud, but it's nothing that you wouldn't expect from a bar. Their dart boards are also very fun if you're not in the mood to shell out cash for pool. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: While I'm not a big drinker or seafood eater, I was still rather pleased with my experience at this bar. While the drinks seemed rather expensive, everyone seemed pleased with them. I was tempted to try and share the surf and turf platter with my boyfriend, but we both ended up getting a diablo chicken sandwich. 2 orders of which were less than the one order of the surf and turf. When I saw that the plate came with fries, I was expecting something like I had experienced at the Real Seafood Company... maybe 10 fries on the plate. When the plate was served, I was happy to see that the whole plate was COVERED with fries. As I was eating, I actually discovered a pickle buried underneath the fries. The sandwich was really satisfying and I couldn't even finish the fries. I like the ambiance of the bar, but I don't really know if I'll ever go there again without the suggestion of someone else. The price range really depends on how much of a drinker you are. For a sandwich and a soft drink you could easily spend less than $20. -
De 2-sterrenreview van Peggah: The food is okay, the bar is loud and the trivia atmosphere is not exactly great. Their PA system for trivia doesn't work that well and doesn't compare to other places on campus. Their pitchers are bigger than Good Time Charley's, but for the price of GTC at happy hour, it's way more at Blue Lep. -
De 3-sterrenreview van Peggah: This is a pretty good place to go to before seeing a show at the Empty Bottle, but it will get busy. It's also BYOB, which means you can pregame before a show here as well, if you're so inclined. Nothing on the menu is really to my liking, but I've had the grilled cheese and tomato soup a few times and it has been good enough. The service has been alright every time I've gone. I went here before a concert the other day and I'm pretty sure the tomato soup made me ill. That won't stop me from going here again, because it's pretty convenient. -
De 2-sterrenreview van Peggah: This place didn't live up to the hype. The waiter was friendly when we first sat down, but then seemed to be blatantly ignoring us after food was delivered and I needed a refill. I strained my neck looking around for him. The food was nothing special, and cash only is pretty annoying. I don't want a shot of alcohol for using the atm, I want you to accept credit cards. I'm sure I'll be back here sometime soon and actually try their pizza. I got their cheese ball things and some fries. Both were okay, though the cheese balls were less gooey by the time I got a refill and my preferred sauce. -
De 2-sterrenreview van Peggah: This is the worst of the BWW I've been to. Service is AWFUL. -
De 2-sterrenreview van Peggah: I really like Buffalo Wild Wings. And I like Ferndale. But this location has never really treated me well. One thing I don't like is that after 9pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the wings special end. Nine pm is a bit early. Other locations serve the specials til about 1:55am, so it definitely irks me. And they always seem to be very busy at this one, so the wait is long. Then, this location gets very dark, it's sometimes hard to read the menu. It has nice screens and decent food. But considering how far it is from me now, I'd much rather go to other BWWs. -
De 3-sterrenreview van Peggah: I was kind of sad to see the Max and Erma's go away, but I am a fan of buffalo wild wings, so it wasn't too bad. Overall, for bbq, I'd much rather go across the street to Boneyard. I made the unfortunate mistake to meet my friends here to 'catch up' and have a late dinner while there was a MSU game on. I'm not sure if all the MSU games got this kind of reception at the restaurant, but it felt like I was in East Lansing. It was so loud and fans were screaming their cries nearly every three minutes. I was shocked. Service was mediocre, but I don't really expect great service at BWW. We had the cheesecake bites at this location, and we were surprised that they were like deep fried and warm... they were still pretty delicious. -
De 3-sterrenreview van Peggah: This is more of a place for seeing people and being seen, I came to find. The service is mediocre the times I've been there, and of course, I wasn't drunk, so I actually noticed. The food wasn't anything I really wanted, and I doubt I'll ever go here again. If you're someone who enjoys local "flavor," being in Detroit, and getting wasted, this is a place for you. If you're a wallflower stuck with a large crowd of people, check out the art on the walls; the artwork tends to be more interesting than the conversations at the bar. -
De 2-sterrenreview van Peggah: I used to frequent this place quite a bit because it was really close to my friend's old house. I don't know if we realized that there was a Pizza Hut down the street. I guess she liked it enough to keep coming back. I was not too impressed. Their pizza is nothing to write home about. And while they do have 'free bread', it's rather unappealing. It's just normal sliced white bread that comes in sandwich baggies, you know not the fancy ziploc color seal ones. The ones you fold and such. Pretty lame if you ask me. I would give this place only one star, but last year I went to a party there, which was on the top floor. It was a pretty nice area for a party, and it was fun. I think it was catered from the restaurant, and the food that they had there was pretty good. However, as a paying customer at the restaurant, I have never had anything special there. It is pretty close to the Magic Bag though, so if you want to eat a pizza then go catch a show, then I guess this is a way you could go.

De 3-sterrenreview van Peggah: I really enjoy the Monday and Wednesday night trivia nights, but the service otherwise is nothing special. The food is overpriced and bland. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: This is my go-to 'cheap' pizza delivery/pick-up place in Ann Arbor. I've frequented this location for over 8 years, and it's always been good. While I don't really go for any of the gourmet pizzas (I'm just too picky), group orders have always been great. This location used to be on my walk home from work/school and I ate her way more than I probably should, but the pizza is good. It's cheap and fast. The Cottage Inn Stix are one of my favorites in Ann Arbor as well. Parking is a little weird, it's on a corner and one side has an incline. Usually the parking is filled with delivery cars, but I can usually get in to pick things up when I need to. Getting out proves to be difficult at times, but that's just Ann Arbor for you. I will warn that they butter up their breadsticks/crusts quite a bit, and I've ruined several things because of this. I'm pretty sure there's still butter on my passenger seat. I don't know if their unique pizza box causes the grease to spill out more than other places, or my bucket seats are super jealous of my food, but definitely don't put it on anything that's not easily cleaned. I've also ruined a few dresses carrying the boxes too close to my body. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: I'm docking another star, for the same reason I did for Relish. You're going to wait. But it's so good. For $9, you can get a bucket of country fried chicken tenders and fries. Which is enough for three moderately hungry people or two hungry people. Their fries are really good, the chicken is a little dry, but with ketchup ranch or bbq sauce, it's delicious. I spent my own money here once, and it was a pretty good deal. My cousin and I ate and were incredibly full for only $13. It usually takes more than that at any of the fast food places. -
De 1sterrenreview van Peggah: When people think Denny's usually it's the only place that's open after midnight that isn't a bar and serves food. This location, however, is not a normal Denny's. Maybe because it's right next to the highway, or it's in Southfield, or well I don't know, but they are not open 24 hours. When they are open, their service is incredibly poor and not worth it. Wendy's is nearby, I'd much rather go to them. Or even go to the Meijer across the street and get a Lean Cuisine. -
De 5-sterrenreview van Peggah: I seriously love this location. While I became acquainted with Dimo's in Lakeview, I set up a get together at this location on a weekend and it was perfect. The staff were very friendly and obliging, even though we were quite boisterous. They have wine, beer and soft drinks in bottles. The pizza is always interesting and amazing. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: The smaller BYOB Wrigleyville Dimo's is amazing. A much better post-Metro alternative than McDonald's or Taco Bell. For some reason, this location has overcooked the crust of three pizzas I've ordered. So they lose a star... but I'll probably be back enough to have them make it up to me with delicious and quirky pizzas. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: This bar was pretty empty on a warm early Saturday evening when I met up with some friends. The bartender was very attentive with drink orders, refills and food. The food was alright. Standard bar fare. I got fried mac and cheese which was good, though I'm not sure if it was completely fried. Sometimes I'd bite into it and it would feel cool. I still ate it, because I was hungry. The tater tots that the table ordered were delicious. The cider selection isn't as great (Vandermill Peach Ginger and Magner's), but everything else seemed reasonable. -
De 1sterrenreview van Peggah: Open late, the tacos were pretty bland. I'm not a fan of their salsa. I've heard of too many horror stories from former employees to really want to ever go here. Then again, I've never been here by choice. -
De 2-sterrenreview van Peggah: I remember having the greasiest grilled cheese here. And half of my party throwing up almost immediately leaving this place. It wasn't a great experience. I didn't care much for the food, but I give it an extra star because it is a 'landmark', and it's open to a variety of people. That I enjoy. The food not so much. Give me a Leo's Coney Island over this place any day of the week. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: I am not a big drinker so I can't say much about the alcoholic beverages. I love the stix mix or whatever they call it. It's so good. The service isn't always the greatest, but the company always is :) Their happy hour specials are priced wonderfully and their food is really good. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: I'm docking a star, because for having "pizza" in the title, their pizza is not that great. Other things on the menu, however, are rather delicious. Tonight, my beau and I got salads, and they were delicious. When a 'pizza place' has good salads, I'm always a huge fan. Sometimes cheesy greasy goodness is too much (or sometimes you make new years' resolutions about 'being healthy' and still end up at the pizza place). Also, this location accepts EBT Cash. You know what sucks? Being poor.... What sucks even more, is when people look down on your poor ass. I approve of this business accepting EBT, and accepting it without shame. Also, even if you're in a hurry, when you call, say, "Yes, I can hold." The 'Happy's Pizza' jingle is hilariously awesome. The pizza is okay, their salads are nummy, and other things on their menus are sure to please. They have a good selection of desserts, including hand-held sweet potato pies that remind me of Cityfest. I really wanted to get one to see if it was the same deliciousness that I had last year... alas, resolutions... :( Oh, and they have free wifi. I haven't used it yet; I think all the neon lighting might interfere. -
De 3-sterrenreview van Peggah: The best hot dog I've ever had was outside of the Skydome in Toronto from a street vendor. Also, I am one of those crazy, immature, childish people who only likes ketchup on a hotdog. So, why on earth would I go to Lafayette? Good question. I took a friend visiting from Brazil to this Detroit staple, and while I had a huge list of other places that would please my own palate, I obliged. The service was as expected, nothing great, nothing horrible. The menu was incredibly limited, and I was very surprised when I ordered a "Loose Hamburger" and got a hotdog bun filled with ... I'm not even sure what was in there. I ate it all the same, and the fries were good. It's a great low-key place to go eat for those who like the food. We negotiated mustard for ketchup with a nearby table, and it was a quick cheap meal. I prefer American, only because their menu options are greater and their seating is nicer. I can't say who has the better Coney Dog, since I don't eat them. -
De 5-sterrenreview van Peggah: This is by far the best Leo's I've been to. I've been to a bunch of Leo's and this had the best tomatoes I've ever had. Usually, the tomatoes on the chicken fingers salad are soggy and gross. Here they were crispy delicious and fresh. Another perk, for me at least, was that there were murals of beautiful sites not only in Greece but in Lebanon as well. It was really nice to see murals other than the Parthenon and what the other Leo's usually have. They even had a 15% off for Ladies on Wednesdays. I definitely approve. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: I love Leo's. Post concert dinners always seem to happen here. I love their chicken fingers salad, and it just seems to taste so much better after midnight. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: The reason why I'll give this place 4 stars is because for some reason, every time I go there, there is a parking spot open RIGHT in front of the door. I am a huge fan of that. Their pitas and chicken fingers salad are my favorites, and the fact taht they're open 24 hours Thursday - Sunday is another perk. Sometimes the crowd is a bit much, but it usually isn't as drunk or rowdy as the crowd in Royal Oak. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: I am a huge fan of diminutive animal restaurants. Seeing the cute little goat character out front made me even more excited to go in. I only wish my appetite was fully functional. So cute, oh man. We went here on a Friday night around 6 or 6:30pm after Haymarket proved to be PACKED. The wait wasn't unreasonable for three people, but we were somewhat crunched for time, so we chose to be seated at the communal table within minutes. They had some weird grapefruit soda/beer mix, Stiegl?, and that was delicious and I wish I knew about it in the summertime. The decor of the restaurant is very nice, and though it was quite loud and somewhat hard to hear what my dinner partners were saying. The bathroom vents/fans/whatever are loud and bass-y, which was rather weird. My fruit bowl didn't look very appetizing, but it was really delicious. It was a definite BOWL of fruit and I couldn't even finish it. We shared some fries and macaroni and cheese, which were also delicious and were reasonably sized. I definitely plan on heading back to this place when I can so I can fully experience and enjoy their menu! -
De 3-sterrenreview van Peggah: I'm not sure whether to give this place 3 or 4 stars. Maybe by the time I'm done with my review I'll have a better idea. When my friend told me about this place, I thought it was going to be like a barcade. I met my friends upstairs, and it felt like a ski lodge with Michigan beers. I got a soft pretzel which was pretty good, but not amazing. When we went downstairs, it felt like... a basement. It felt like your cool uncle's basement who had been collecting games.There were some children there on a Friday night, so I didn't get a real barcade vibe. They had shuffleboard, some pinball games and some classic arcade games, but nothing really enticed me. The tables and stools were kind of wobbly. I knocked into the table about 3 times spilling drinks. I'm not sure if I'll make an effort to visit this place again. -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: A cupcake place open until midnight on the weekends? Awesome. Swing seats? Even better. Build your own cupcake? Unnnnnfff. I am a picky eater. I am even pickier when it comes to desserts (I don't like chocolate). Custom cupcakes are ideal for me. I got a vanilla cupcake, with buttercream frosting and topped with gummy bears. Gummy bears? For some reason I thought this was the coolest thing ever, and then I realized that I had been experimenting with twizzlers, licorice, and fruit rollups on top of cake/cupcakes a few years ago. I was still really happy to eat my sugary sweet! I think I'm alone on this, but I like just enough frosting to cover the cupcake. Every cupcake I've gotten from a store or bakery has about five times more frosting than I could ever want on a cupcake. I might try to ask for "lite frosting" next time, so I'm not spending ten seconds scraping off the excess. I didn't care too much for the buttercream, but with the gummy bears it was really great. The vanilla cupcake itself was perfectly cooked. I'm curious to try their other frostings. They had a lot of cool cupcake flavors, most of which I wouldn't eat because of my own pickiness (chocolate/whipped cream/dumb sensitive palate), and I didn't notice the sprinkle shakers until we left. I'm not fond of spending $3-4 dollars on a cupcake, when that's about how much it costs for me to make a batch on my own, but this place is really cute and the quality has been better than any other place I've tried! -
De 4-sterrenreview van Peggah: I haven't been here in a long time, but from what I remember is good. The food is great, and it's nicely sized. I almost always left with a box, and I can eat a lot in one sitting. I really liked the chicken that's glazed with huge broccoli and rice. So good.
