From what I understand, as of now, they can open at 7 and have to be closed by 4. Its not the smells...the kitchen is vented out the back. its the noise ...etc from having a restaurant running under your apartment. personally, I'd say don't live above a restaurant if that is going to bother you..but I didnt write the lease.

I am not fond of chain and franchise breakfast places like IHOP, Original Pancake House, Denny's, etc. These are my favorite places I can get to in less than 15 minutes from home. They are not fancy or "upscale" they just serve a great breakfast at a price that won't make you cringe....

Louie's at Eastern Market has a great breakfast and they are open on Sunday. I have to say also that Honest John's breakfast is very good. Just wish they served tea and not that flavored orange peel crap.

Fryar, you bring up some good points. I think you were spot on when you mentioned the looks of the place as it appeared more casual at first glance. Hope i didn't offend you or anyone else who enjoyed the place. I would have liked to sample any of the choices you mentioned but as I stated I would have felt rude and out of place being underdressed in such a formal setting...

Hehe, I hear Subway on Grand Circus Park serves breakfast now, as dos Pot Belly in the Ren Cen. Anyone know if Jimmy Johns followed suit [[never been)?

I agree with you. Most of the local unfranchised restaurants gives you more on your plate. They don't have the rules and stipulations on them as franchised restaurants do. I love the Village Grille in Grosse Pointe. Sometimes I go deep into the neighborhood and eat at the Houston Grille on Gratiot and Fischer

We are Friday regulars at the Motown Cafe Grille on Cadillac Square, and can attest to their inexpensive yet tasty fare. They also do a great lunch business, but are closed on Sundays for some reason. The only time I could get the family down there is on Sunday, and I feel that they are missing out on some potential apartment building and sports events business.

And I'm glad for the new business on Woodward - keep the prices in check and we might make up a two breakfast a week plan!

I went to the Village Grille for lunch a couple of days ago...they did a beautiful job remodeling.

I'm holding out for the Cheesecake Factory.

BTW I was forced to eat at a Cheesecake factory over the Christmas Holiday. We ain't missing out on anything by not having them here. All it is is Friday's with dessert!

ROTFL! Yeah, some of the dives can be quite good with a lower grime factor... LOL! And some of the so-called posh spots have 'hidden' grime!!!
