Dominick's is pretty much a place that you love or you hate. They're full of Michigan 'tude and don't really care what you think about it.
That being said, if you're IN Ann Arbor, and AT the U of M, you're probably a sucker for Michigan 'tude. I am…More »

Come for the beer, stay for the pizza.
We stopped in here for a Saturday lunch with friends a few weeks ago....we stuck to water and iced tea this time, but totally overindulged in the pizza. We tried four different ones: fire and smoke,…More »
Came here last Friday night with friends--it was our first time, and their third or fourth.

It was my father-in-law's idea to have the rehearsal dinner at Lou's. Did I mention he's a very intelligent man?
I'll say from the start that Lou Malnati's is my favorite pizza, anywhere, ever, of all time (Ok, maybe tied for first with this one…More »
YUM! My favorite meal that we had in Toronto.
Things are definitely cozy in here during the peak dinner hour--lots of people at lots of tiny tables--but the lively, warm atmosphere was just right on a chilly, dark night.
The pizza was fantastic--I…More »

I have never been to Silvio's.
But today I got lucky: my bosses ordered it for their lunch meeting. I got to pick through the remnants. And I saw that it was good. So good.
I had one slice of margherita and one slice with (fresh, raw) spinach,…More »
As mentioned in other reviews, it sure comes close (but no cigar!) to "real" Chicago-style deep dish.
-I'd recommend the personal size lunch special, if you can get it--$7 will get you a "mini" pizza that's still deep enough to last you two meals…More »
We gave Aubree's another go on Friday, and I'm happy to boost them up a star! The whole event went much smoother than last time, and I'm beginning to think my previous experience--overcrowded and understaffed/undersupplied--wa s not at all the norm.

Corner Brewery reminds me that I miss Leopold Bros.
It's a great place to just hang out....talk, drink, play board games.
Huge, spacious rooms. Big tables. Unsteady wooden chairs. Very low key--no table service, which makes things nice and easy (I…More »
Is this the best pizza ever? Erm, no.
Is it the only place I'm aware of where you can feed 15 people for $23, and just walk in and walk out with pizza in 30 seconds or less? Yes it is.
If it's the hockey finals, and you have a bunch of people over,…More »
Happy's is a bizarr-o place, if only because their menu is SO huge. Pizza, ribs, burgers, shrimp/fish, pasta, sandwiches, plus freezers of ice cream novelties and fridges of beer? Sort of alarming for a takeout place...makes me wonder where it…More »

Sometimes when a restaurant is not what you're expecting, and not quite up to par, it's really disappointing. You feel like you've wasted your time and money and wish you'd just gone to McDonald's, instead.
Other times, the experience is hilarious…More »

Olé! Comida Mexicana. Or Mexican-ish. (7) |
Suds, Buds, and Duds (16)Places I've consumed beer. This list includes:-super cheap happy hours -local microbreweries -places to buy beer -etc. -And also sometimes I consume and write about cider |
Yummy Yammies! (9)Somehow, I manage to consume a lot of sweet potato fries. Here's where I get them! |
"Institutions" (8)Feel like if you hear any more about Ann Arbor "institutions" you'll need to be committed to one? Here are the ones I've been to--so you can seek them out, or avoid them. |
For the Telephobic (4)I HATE picking up the phone to make a call. Plus I can email at work, but not really make personal phone calls. These are businesses that respond promptly and helpfully to email. |
Mom and Pop-worthy (12)I know, I know, I'm obsessed with finding restaurants where I can eat in peace with my parents. This is because it is not easy to do. Others may have the same problem--thus, this list. |
Hot Pot of Coffee! (14)A cuppa joe's a cuppa joe...but some are pricier than others. And some are fancier than others. And some are just nothing special. And some are. And so on. Also, I sometimes drink tea. |
Beds, sometimes with breakfasts (9)Hotels, B&Bs, and Inns where I've put my feet up, watched HBO, and consumed weak in-room coffee. |
On the job (8)Locations and vendors I've used for work-related stuff--conference hotels, catering for local events, etc. |
