The restaurant has expanded into several interconnected buildings. The atmosphere is casual with its closeness to Wayne State University. Service and food were very good. More

My friends and I had gone to the Hilberry Theater at Wayne State and our logical stop for lunch was the Traffic Jam. They have a nice variety of items on their menu and wine lists. The desserts are Decadent! It's a very comfortable place to go after any event downtown. More

They make their own bread, and grow their own veggies on the rooftop too. Fresh, fresh, fresh ingredients, always a little avaunt-garde and left of center, but FUN and good tasting. More

This is one of my wife's favorite restaurants! Everything on the menu is delicious! Always save room for dessert. The cream of mushroom soup is best in Detroit! More

We shared a Traverse City dried cherry and pecan salad which we found OK, but nothing special. We also shared a braised beef brisket panini which was terrific. Our favorite were the battered dip french fries. We also had a pitcher of house brewed beer which was also very good. We enjoyed the "old Detroit" atmosphere. Would come back again. More

I dined here with work colleagues for lunch. Two of us went with reubans and two with other sandwiches. All the food was good, but not spectacular. Service was prompt and did a good job. The atmosphere was neat as well. More

Six of us ate here on a Thursday about 6:00 and there was parking available right across the street. About 10 people in line but no one to seat anyone. I actually called from my cellphone after 10 minutes and asked for someone to come and start seating people! The place is very big inside so a long walk to... More

I was so excited to go here after we decided on it. I went to the website and viewed menu and the history. On site bakery, brewery and dairy farm. Wow. What a great looking building. Very cool inside. Plenty of parking. Loved all the antiques and wood. You just stand in line to wait for your seat. Moves pretty... More
