Chef Andrew Curren (the genius behind Irene’s and Italic) and his team consistently deliver elevated comfort food using top-notch ingredients at this local diner. Open around the clock (with the exception of a middle-of-the-night cleaning session midweek), the diner serves breakfast all day. Order the biscuits and gravy (house-made buttermilk biscuit, two eggs, sausage gravy, side of fruit) and the chicken and waffle (marinated, boneless, skinless fried chicken breast and thigh, brown sugar butter, Grade A Michigan maple syrup).
