Favorite Michigan restaurants?

[Michchamp]

You "basically know nothing."

That explains it.

 

[deathroh]

Fucker. No suggestion for a few quick beers?

 

[Michchamp]

well... if I was coming from that direction & driving, I'd pick Max & Erma's (NW corner of State & Eisenhower), since it has better food...

If I didn't mind stopping on campus, the closest bar is Packard Pub on State & Packard. probably about a half-mile (15 min) walk down State across to Crisler. I think before the ohio game we got a bucket of 6 beers for like $12 or something. They had lots of TVs.

It may have been a couple bucks more; if that's the case, let me know, and I'll send you a check for the difference, ya cheap bastad.

Max & Erma's?? I'm going with Beez, not my grandma!

But cool, I'll send you my address in a PM just in case you owe me.

My hatred for Damon's is so strong, I would go to Max and Erma's over that place in a heartbeat.

Most Max & Erma's have bars you can sit at, and they have that really great french onion soup.

Uh... it goes well with the cheap beer you'll be drinking.

 

[beez]

French onion soup at Max n Ermas for pre game...

other than slamming my nut sack with a hammer I don't know how I could get anymore in the mood for a great hoops game at The Crisler. lol

 

[Mitchrapp]

Lol.

I live in Montana and haven't been back to the Mitten in about ten years. I miss Buddy's and Coney Island most of all. For a nicer meal, the Gandy Dancer was always great. Not much beats a Blimpy Burger. I also really miss being able to wake up hungover and go to Big Boy. Other Michigan things I miss are Faygo, Gus's breadsticks, Cottage Inn, Better Made chips, Open Pit BBQ sauce, and Oberon. Damn, it's been too long.

Faygo and Better Made are the best. Together with a chicken sandwich they make the perfect meal.

Every couple of months I have to ship a large box of Faygo 2-litre bottles of Rock n Rye to a friend who moved to Nevada, usually 8 bottles of rock n rye, and one random one like redpop, creme soda, black cherry, or root beer, packed in a box 3x3.

I'm on a first name basis with the lady that drives UPS in my area because of it.

Is Open Pit BBQ sauce a Michigan thing?

I thought it was a national brand.

It may be available in areas around Michigan, but I look every time I go to another state, UT, ID, WA, OR, CA, non have it. BBQ Chicken just doesn't taste the same.

Maybe it's just not out west.

I'm sure they sell it in Virginia, I can remember visiting my grandma and uncle when I was young and we always had Open Pit BBQ sauce, it's still all I use.


EDIT:

I guess it's a midwest thing only but is from Detroit.

I miss Frick's Bar & Grill in Midland. Food was better than average and is still one of my all time favorite places to shoot pool.

GJ's pizza and Don's Drive-In in TC. Zingerman's in AA. That's about it, there's a lot of good food out here so I don't miss too much.
