    Default Hidden gems [[restaraunts) in Detroit

    I discovered Parks barbecue [[dine in or carryout) on Beaubian near the Blvd in the Northend neighborhood, somebody wrote about a place on Fenkell that specializes in fish and chips [[far northwest Detroit?) there are Jamaican and African restaurants, anybody know of any obscure out out of the way places with good eats?

    Scotty Simpson's is on Fenkell and Dolphin and that is the place someone was referring to. It is excellent.

    Haven't been there for awhile [[I've been patronizing El Barzón, which is really good), but for Mexican I always liked Mi Tierra at Oakwood and Schaefer--not a corner you'd likely to hit in the course of a normal day unless you worked down there.

    I think they opened another Mi Tierra on Warren and Faust just west of Southfield.

    even on their web site, the Dakota Inn, declares itself a hidden gem.

    The Dakota is really a very neat building and the food is fantastic. From their fenced and guarded parking-lot you enter into a time machine that takes you back to pre-war times. Only place I've ever been where you can get a pitcher of Blatz; which turns out to be pretty good on tap. They must re-use resty hubcaps when they make the Blatz cans, 'cause it sure does taste like it.

    Anyway, the Dakota entertainment includes sing-a-longs which sounds stupid from the get-go, until you do it. You can't help but smile while being lead through a confuzzeling rendition of Der Schnitzelbank song.
