Ann Arbor Food Critics

Zingerman's Roadhouse if you dig BBQ! Amazing pulled pork sandwiches.

I absolutely hated this restaurant. It was packed. The service was really slow. It was really expensive and the food wasn't all that great, either.

I agree. My dad loves that place though. I've had to veto it a number of times.

i don't know what it is about the food there, but it just never tastes very good to me.

unlike others i am not fond of a2 restaurants thinke they are a bit overrated

but it is change from where you are

Ha, ha, possibly so, whenever I come home to Ann Arbor it's never to indulge in the fine cuisine.

I like to go to places I have a connection to from my youth, and my college days.

yeah, for me: bell's, pizza house, & Mr. Spots.

in terms of "finer" dining: Palio's on main st. The Earl was solid.

The Jolly Pumpkin is great too. I ate there last year. I think it only opened in '09-'10.

for very high end i like West End Grill but mucho $$$$$$$ - too bad Eve closed
i also do the Earle and i Like Gratzi

My sis and I loved Gratzi and Carson's. I'm writing down the other suggestions for next year.....

Lots of good ideas mentioned here....I do find the need to say that the Webber's Inn Sunday Brunch just may be one of the best $10 ish brunches I have ever had.

Alright, just got back. So many decisions and I forgot how much I liked walking around the downtown area. Me and the wifey decided on the Melting pot. I had never had a Fondue dinner before, pretty cool. It took a long time going through four courses but we did and were able to finish it with some of the best chocolate I have ever had. I have to give thumbs up, a little pricey, but something different. Funny thing is, while we were there we found out there was a Melting Pot in Toledo and never knew it.

Thanks again for all the help. Next time I'm in town we are checking out Zimmermans, they were REAL busy. We had a good time though and enjoyed our evening.

I'm glad you enjoyed your evening. The Melting Pot is a chain, though, so next time try something that isn't!

Yeah, found that out when we got in there, never heard of it before. I must not get out enough, lol.
