Delicious fish in a challenging environment. This restaurant is in a tough area in Detroit but that is no fault of the proprietors. The food is delicious and an excellent value. I got a large tray of perch and a cod meal to go.

We were in town visiting family. Our family went her to order food to go. We had fried catfish, shrimp, chicken and fries. The server was nice and friendly. The food was good and hot!!! We definitely enjoyed the food. We went on a Friday evening and left Detroit on Saturday afternoon. On the drive back to Georgia we snacked on the leftovers. The fish and chicken was still good at room temperature! Highly recommend and will definitely return when in the area.
