I love this place! The restaurant is truly unique with a well executed classic car shop vibe that really makes it stand out. The food here is excellent with burgers and pizza that my group absolutely loved. The staff were friendly and great to talk with throughout our visit. Drinks were equally great and made for a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend for a dining experience that truly captures a Detroit vibe with excellent food and atmosphere!

This is a cool place. Reminds us of Radiator Springs in the movie Cars. There's so much to observe. This was an actual garage back in the day. The floors are uneven just like an old school business. Our servers were great. Super helpful and made good recommendations. My wife loved her pizza special (Elote). I had the burger special(jalapeno). It taste good but it was barely warm. I should've said something cause it seemed like it would have been an awesome burger if it were hot. Outside of that we had a good experience. We recommend it!

Great local spot along Woodward - very appropriate car themed and located in a previous garage. Burgers were excellent and fries were top notch!

We came in a little late, about 30 minutes before they closed, but they took care of us until they shut the TVs off for the night. What an awesome dinner. We shared the Tikka fries (!!fire!!) and got a couple burgers. The bartender fixed me a special non-alcoholic fruit punch which was delicious. My boyfriend got one of their bomb pop sloshies and he raved about it. We will absolutely be back again to try their pizza. A couple sitting next to us got one and they serve it on a hubcap plate! How cool?! Great service, and the Faygo ice cream was a stellar ending to the meal. Unfortunately I didn't snap any photos of the food, we ate it too quickly for time to pause

Very rustic interesting ambience, coupled with good food at reasonable prices. Menu is quite limited though - mostly burgers/sandwiches and pizzas. We had a group of six who all enjoyed their choices. Highly recommend the (great) fries upgrade vs (kinda dry) house chips.
