The 38 Best Restaurants in Detroit, Spring 2025 | Eater Detroit

"Spiced gumbo loaded with seafood is the main event at this decades-old carryout restaurant and micro-chain that originated near Eastern Market. At this Detroit institution, the gumbo is packed with shrimp, sausage, cut okra, and a proprietary blend of seasonings and shares space on the menu with other Bayou favorites like red beans and rice, jambalaya, and shrimp po’boys made with a crackly baguette. The original Eastern Market area spot shuttered in late 2023 as ownership made way for a new spruced-up and larger location too not far away, at 2830 Gratiot Avenue. Online ordering is available. Best for: Quick service and hearty portions, particularly comforting during a chilly day in Detroit." - Serena Maria Daniels
