Crazy Pricing - Kid Rock's Made in Detroit restaurant

**K-slice** · December-22-17, 02:36 PM

That whole area is like Detroit's Disney World. Nothing is authentic, or even particularly good, but they know their customers are by and large not locals so they can serve Applebee's [[or lower) quality food at twice the price. The people eating at Kid Rock's aren't really risk takers, and they're certainly not looking to have an experience Downtown that's different from what they experience in the suburbs.

Interestingly enough, many people in the neighborhoods [[outside of Downtown, Midtown, Palmer Woods, Sherwood Forest, etc) like Applebees, Friday's, IHOP, Big Boy, etc. 'Authentic' and "particularly good" depends on the audience. For some, it's Coney Islands, Captain Jay's, and the local rib or soul food place. Others prefer something entirely different. Most people [[city or suburban) aren't risk takers. Unfortunately, a lot of this kind of talk is just more divisiveness and pseudo-elitism...

Great post Town Cluber. People eat what they like and that's why there are so many different choices. Works out good for everyone.

Since Coleman Young - that race card gets played in Detroit !!!

Forget the food sucks, and is overpriced
-- it's a Black/White "thing" in the D

It really doesn't matter who gets a W in the Win column
-- as long as you representin' in Detroit !!!!!!!

How many black ice skater players on Hockey Town Teams ???..........

If we could just get pass the nonsense you might get public transit
to actually work in this area , eh LBrooksP what ya say brotha ???

Take a risk - ride a bus/train/transit with another race ......[[ouch)
Naw , take the damn car and pay another $20 for parking !!!!

Happy Holidays to all
- regardless of what you serve on the table for dinner

Harry's Bar, at the corner of Clifford and the I-75 service drive, tucked in the corner of the LCA, 300 feet from the main entrance. Plenty of parking in their 2 lots.

Most underappreciated restaurant in Detroit. Bar food raised to a new level of excellence. They take pride in their food. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

^^^ I love to hear about places like that. Good spots not all over-hyped. I'm not much of a bar goer but may try 'em out!

That's quite a stretch--given that this site isn't exactly representative of the average [[Metro) Detroiter.

Some might say there are 4 Million residents of greater Metro Detroit.
The "buzz", "hype", "word of mouth" failed miserably for Kid Rock ?
Metro Detroit is 14th among the nation's metropolitan areas, according to some studies.
