13 Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwiches in Metro Detroit

"Chef Max Hardy’s food stall at Detroit Shipping Company features a Caribbean take on the spicy fried chicken sandwich genre. The spicy chicken sandwich features guava barbecue sauce and combines it with tangy slaw, bacon jam, and garlic aioli, and queso fresco. Pair the sandwich with a side of Caribbean fries drizzled in cilantro aioli, cheese, and Cajun seasoning." - Eater Staff, Brenna Houck

Such an amazing food experience! The fried chicken tenders are out of this world. They were busy on a Saturday evening, but promptly got through the orders. The food has a lot of flavor. I really enjoyed the sauce, too. It’s like a mix between buffalo and traditional jerk sauce. Our group snagged a table outside and it was overall a great experience.

This place is located in the Detroit Shipping Company. I'm certainly glad that with all of the food options, I chose to eat at this place. I ordered the chicken wings and they were great. They were everything that you could ask for. They had a good Caribbean taste and were soft but not fatty with kind of a grilled flavor to them. There were also smothered in sauce with little mandarin oranges. Overall, while the place is a little pricey, it is well worth it.

I had no idea of what I was about to experience...the flavors of the Carribean was phenomenal! I can't began to describe all those flavors that were going on in my mouth! The corn was the best! The chicken stayed crispy even with the cold slaw! Fries had a sauce that didnt require me to use ketchup. I even ate the Cauliflower! An experience i dont want you to miss! The "Coop" means shared space and that is because it shares space with at least 4 other small venues. There is an upstairs that serves/sales coffee. There is plenty of seating inside and out. There is a full bar inside. Eating inside a shipping container was kinda cool. Thanks for inviting me Chef Max!

I was craving a good quality, uniquely flavored fried chicken sandwich. After much research, I decided on COOP. I was excited to by the idea of bacon jam and guava bbq sauce. The presentation looked great. Brioche bun was perfectly toasted, not soggy. Chicken was cooked amazingly (crispy yet juicy), but my biggest hang up is the sauce. It is so powerful and so tangy, it’s all i could taste. I wanted a more well balanced sandwich where all the ingredients could shine together. The plantains i ordered with it were perfect: crispy edges with a soft and sweet inside.

I love them! I’ve been here twice since visiting Detroit. I got the Caribbean fries and chicken fritters and everything tastes so fresh and wonderful. It is just so amazing! Love love love!

the only reason it did not get a 5 is bc $17.00 for 6 weeks only is to much. They were ok but the fries was EVERYTHING idk what was on them but they were delicious. I didn't know this place existed I was with the HANDLE BAR crew on Sunday. 🍣🍢🍠🍝🍡🍬 Signed, Cyndi Says

Can't wait to eat this food! The owner, when I spoke to her, was so considerate and kind, especially because I couldn't figure out how to order online. This is a great establishment! Update 7/17/22: PLEASE UPDATE THE PHONE NUMBER. We had a HUGE order we planned on placing (at least $200 worth) and the number does not work! It's been like this for a while. The food is excellent, but you will lose customers by not updating. Online ordering is not always the best option, especially for older users.

Yeah.. I’ll never order food from here again. In person it’s bomb, but I’ve had it delivered 5 or 6 times and it’s always a problem. Today they forgot an entire chicken sandwich & my coop fries are SWIMMING in sauce. I ended up having to order something else. Their food is entirely too expensive for my food to always arrive incorrect or incomplete. Taking this restaurant out of the rotation.

I ordered the sweet plantains and spicy chicken sandwich from Coop Caribbean Food. The chicken was so good, and the sauce was spicy, but not so hot I couldn't taste anything. The plantains helped curb the heat! My only complaint is the sandwich was so messy. I ended up fork and knifing the chicken in the middle. It is a decent size chicken tender on a huge bun, with lots of slaw and sauce. It is a recipe for messy but good enough to lick all the messy off your fingers. Haha There was so much coming out of the kitchen that I wanted to try. The corn looks great and lots of people were ordering the chicken wings and ribs!

Located inside the Detroit Shipping company! Loved this place! I've never had Caribbean food before now and I want more after having had food from here:) For an appetizer we had the Caribbean Corn($8). Which was two grilled corn-on-the-cobs topped with fresco cheese, Cajun seasoning, toasted coconut, and drizzled with a garlic aioli! Loved the crunch of the corn and sweet and savory notes to this flavorful dish. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Fritters ($15) as his entree which was a few pieces of breaded chicken on a bed of coleslaw and topped with fresco cheese, garlic aioli, bbq sauce, and cilantro!he loved the flavor and ate it all :) I ordered the Coconut Shrimp Curry ($18). Which was a bit steep in price if I'm being honest but had about 5-6 pieces of shrimp in a delicious curry sauce topped with fresco cheese and cilantro.. it also came with some rice which was very good paired with the shrimp. After you order your food at the counter they hand you a buzzer. Our buzzer went off and their was a bit of confusion as the lady at the counter said our order was lost and they had to remake it. Once remade they missed some items and had to give us our buzzer again. There was a bit of attitude from the person there but as it was a Friday night and very busy I was trying to be nice and understanding and still enjoyed my food very much. The seating situation is a first come first serve kinda vibe and it was very busy on a Friday night and we eventually found seats on the second floor. Would definitely come back here again if I was in town!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. This entire place is a great spot for sure. The vibe and music is very fun, chill, and comfortable. The variety of cultural food spots is awesome. And there's a bar which is also a plus! The inside is kept clean with industrial decor. Parking is a challenge though. That dirt and rock parking lot on the side of the building that's free, is EXTREMELY small. So be prepared to park somewhere on the street. From COOP, we ordered the fries, mac&cheese, Brussel sprouts, corn, curry shrimp, and wings to share. The best part of the meal in my opinion was the curry shrimp. Reason being is, I felt like some of my food was burnt (the wings, Brussel sprouts, and corn). Like it stayed on the grill a little too long for my liking. The flavor was good, but I feel like I prefer the flavor of other nearby Caribbean restaurants.

We got the jerk ribs and wings. They are served with the same bbq sauce on top and I expected the chicken and ribs to be on the spicy side. Nope, it wasn't spicy at all. The wings were perfect, meat came off the bones with little effort. The bbq sauce went very well with it. The ribs were good as well, but the end pieces required bit more work. Next time I go, will have to try their spicy chicken sandwich, coconut curry shrimp and some of their sides.

A friend and wanted to check out the Detroit Shipping Company, just Bc we had heard such good reviews about the options of multiple restaurants, and we knew there was outside dining to enjoy our food during the nice weather. So we both decided to try COOP Carribean Fusion. I was really excited Bc I have tried the River Bistro a year or so ago, and the food was delicious! So I was eager to try the food here. I ordered the Chicken Fritters and the Spicy and Crispy Cauliflower. My friend ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and the Caribbean Fries.! Once we received our food, upon first look, everything looked kind of sloppy to me, and overwhelming. Once I tried the Chicken Fritters and Cauliflower, I just felt like it was so drenched with toppings that it make both dishes soggy. Also, reviewing the menu, it says that the Fritters comes with plantain chips, but I didn't receive that. However, I'm not sure if I looked at an older version of the menu. But overall, I thought both dishes were ok, and I would like to go back to try other menu options, but my friend felt the same way about the Chicken Sandwich, very sloppy and not too impressed with the overall taste. Overall, I would like to try COOP again and try other options!

I ate here a while back. They have an infusion of Caribbean like I have never had here in the D. I have tried their jerk wings and their Caribbean corn, both were quite flavorful and so tasty. I wanted more and more, that's how tasty they are. Give it a try. You won't regret it.

Coop Caribbean Chicken was SO GOOD! I would highly recommend getting any of the chicken there. The person who took my order was so friendly & helpful & I could tell she was really invested in making sure that she was giving people the most accurate knowledge she could. When I asked her how spicy the chicken sandwich I was planning to get was, she said it wasn't too spicy, but if I was nervous then they could remove the hot sauce that went on the sandwich. As I left, I heard her turn to the chef to ask if she could try the chicken to make sure she was gauging the spice level correctly. I really love & appreciate that! The food was delivered to our table so fast & my goodness, such quality chicken! My friend got the jerk wings & they were petite wings that had such juicy, fall-of-the-bone chicken & MY GOODNESS THE FLAVOR! It was so good. We both got the Caribbean corn, which was also packed with flavor & delicious. There are a ton of coconut shavings on top though, and I'm personally not a huge fan of coconut, but hadn't read the menu carefully to realize that's what came on top, so ultimately I still prefer Mexican street corn (elote) to this, but this was still tasty! For my main dish, I got the Motor City spicy chicken sandwich (without the spice) & holy moly, it was to die for! I'm actually really upset that I didn't get a picture of it! I really can't imagine it with the spiciness of the hot sauce, because it was already what felt like the perfect symphony of flavors without it! I feel like any spicy would have masked some of these delicious flavors, which would have been a shame. The sandwich was perfectly fried chicken meat, delicious coleslaw for some creaminess, bacon jam for some sweetness, all on a brioche bun to tie it together. I love it so much. It was definitely quite messy, so I ate it with a fork & a knife, but it worked out so well! I'm still thinking about this sandwich to be quite honest! This might be a little TMI, but after eating the sandwich I went to this event that required me to wear a face mask for several more hours & I could smell the flavors of this sandwich on my breath in my mask & it just reminded me of how good this sandwich was & how I wished I was still eating it LOL. Anyways...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :D

Solid wings. Presentation looked great. Wings were barbecued well then dressed with barbecue sauce. Sauce was a bit over powering the great taste of the wings. Good spot would recommend while in Detroit shipping company.

Went to Detroit Shipping Co on a weekday right when they opened. Easy to park and find a spot to sit outside. We ordered through DSC's website which links you to each of the individual stall's online ordering portal, it's absolutely an introvert's dream. We decided on the Chicken Fritters. Food was ready quickly but I wasn't notified via phone or email that my order was ready; I saw it in the pickup area when I went inside to get a drink. The fritters were more tender than fritter, topped with a melange of slaw and sauces. Also a few stray pieces of mandarin orange, I think? The tenders were juicy, crunchy, and flavorful. I think a little more slaw would have been nice to balance out the proportions. Pretty decent portion overall for the price paid!

Oh man, Coop has some amazing flavors! You're going to love anything you order from here, from fries to chicken. There is an option when ordering to pick up your food curbside but we've always eaten inside Detroit Shipping Co. Coop is my husband's favorite as he loves a certain level of spice in his food. I will say when ordering from Coop they have taken longer than initially planned. We've waited over an hour for our food before to find it sitting on the counter downstairs. It's certainly worth the wait, though, just plan accordingly.

Coop's Jerk Wings are excellent. There was only one problem with the wings...I didn't order them. I ordered ribs, but got wings. The place was too busy and chaotic for me to bother returning to have it fixed. This is the most popular spot in DSC and your wait will be longer than the other food stalls.

I was pretty hyped up to try this, but my experience was not that great. The wait was too long, the food was sloppy, and I did not receive my complete order. I ordered a Spicy Chicken Sandwich, the Caribbean Fries, the Spicy & Crispy Cauliflower, and a water. It was between a 35-40 minute wait to receive my order; pizza does not even take that long! With that long of a wait, my order should be on par and hot. But it was not hot/fresh. The Spicy & Crispy Cauliflower was not received either. The cashier was notified that it was not received, and I was told that it would up in five minutes. another 30 minutes passed, nothing. I was ready to leave and at that point, I just wanted my money back for the Spicy & Crispy Cauliflower since it was not received. The food was really sloppy. I was not pleased at all with the fact that the hot sauce was all over. It felt like I was eating a "Sloppier Joe". To top it off, they provide only one of the smallest and thinnest napkins that cannot properly wipe my hands even after one bite. The fries could have been better if they were not so flimsy like they were old. The only enjoyable thing about this restaurant was the flavor. If the restaurant served a cleaner sandwich that is not toppled over when received, and fresher, my one-star rating would be at least a three-star. Moreover, if the customer service was better, than I would be much happier and rate this restaurant five stars.

Try the ribs. They were excellent. Huge, well-cooked, with a delicious sauce that had just the right amount of kick. I'll go back just for these, and I'll definitely try the wings. Online ordering worked well, and my pick up was easy and no contact. The order was complete and well-packed.

I had a great experience at COOP Carribean Fusion, I must say Carribean food is ascending on my list of favorite foods. Although they didn't have much in terms of options for pescatarians what I did have was very good. I had the Carribean Fries and Carribean Corn and they were both amazing. Both full of flavor and great tasting, especially the fries.

I hate giving bad reviews but this is definitely the majority American version of Caribbean food. I was really disappointed with everything except the plantains. I Brought the curry shrimp home to put it over rice. Unfortunately, the sauce is in the bag due to the cheap container. As much as this little dish cost ($16), they should be able to supply containers more suitable for saucy dishes. LOVE Jamaican food but this didn't fit the bill. Very disappointed.

The set up is really cool! It's located inside the shipping company, where there are multiple places to eat. I ordered jerk wings and Brussels sprouts. The wings were delicious, would have loved a little more sauce to go with them. They were light handed with that. The Brussels were good but to sweet and to much sauce. The sauce made them really wet. I prefer a light coating of sauce and a less sweet sauce on Brussels. Overall though, tasty and I will return to try something else. The corn on cob looked really good.

Poor customer service. I never received my fries and instead of having my order filled, I was given a refund without me asking for one! I was not irate, I did not raise my voice because I wanted the fries. The cashier simply ignored what I said and gave me a refund. I'm done.

My rating is probably more a 3.75, but they had good service so it gets a bump up (server had come out to bring us our food since the beepers don't have reception at the outdoor seating). We had the Chef Max Famous Brussels, the Caribbean Corn, and the scoop Wings. When our server brought us our food--MMM I was so stoked to eat it. The aroma from the brussel sprouts and chicken had me salivating. The chicken was char-grilled (a bit on the heavier side that there was plain ash I had to peel off--but that's just me trying to avoid gastric cancer lol) and was doused in bbq sauce. I think their sauce was homemade-- it wasn't too thick or sweet. The tangerines and lime they topped the wings with went perfectly with it. Definitely do not eat this without squeezing the limes and nibbling on the tangerines as you go. It provides a well-rounded taste that way. The brussel sprouts smelled better than flavor. It was 3 out of 5 stars for me. I was expecting more crisp and more flavor. It was a bit watery. I would still eat it as a snack, but it's just not the best brussel sprouts I've had. The corn needed some work. It's yummy if you have a huge sweet tooth, but overall there was a lot of flavors going on. It didn't quite unify for me. We think there is mayo in the sauce bc the sauce was thick and had some unexpected flare to it. Since this is Caribbean food, I expected spice on this corn (like elote Mexican corn), but there was no spice. I think that could've helped cut through the sweetness.

Felt like I had to chime in here since their reviews are so bad. I've been to Detroit Shipping Company twice now and the first time we ordered a few things from COOP. I believe we got the jerk chicken wings and they were great. The only complaint I have is that it took a little bit of time to get the wings, but that seems to be the standard at DSC for most of the eateries because they're usually so busy. We also got an order of the Brussels sprouts and those were fantastic as well. COOP had a lot of other dishes that I wanted to try as well, so I'm sure I will in the future.

Okay... it is hard to talk about COOP w/o talking about Detroit Shipping Company. After all... this is a shared space. So let me do this 2-part series. Part 1: COOP I love the fact that we have added another Caribbean influenced restaurant option to the metro area. I love the fact that this is not another addition downtown that is over-priced (in many cases) expensive (in some cases) or the menu is only for a selected audience with artisanal chicken eye lashes, and fish bone marrow with quale egg whites and northern Michigan forest greens. You just come here for good food. Food. Yes. two thumbs up. Service. spotty... but the chef is working on it. I have been three times and the service went from bad, to good, to better. Hey... good help is hard to find. Now about that food. From the mac-and cheese to the jerk chicken, to the steak to the just order something on the menu. It is all good. Part 2: Detroit Shipping Co. this is a shared space. It has a few TV's. It has a stand-alone bar. It has music on the weekends. It isn't a quite place. You come to just enjoy one or multiple options and be around the people. Décor: 3 out of 5 (Detroit Shipping Co) Food: 4 out of 5 (COOP only) Drinks: NA (COOP only) Service: 3.5 out of 5 and getting better all the time (COOP only) Cleanliness: 4 out of 5 (COOP only)

Waited 30 minutes for 2 chicken sandwiches and never got them. Told the cashier and she simply did not care. Absolutely disgusting! No customer service and expensive AF.

Stopped by the the Detroit Shipping Co today for dinner and I'm so glad I chose to get my food from Coop Caribbean Fusion! I got the chicken sandwich because of friend's recommendation. It was delicious. The chicken was perfectly crispy, the bread super fluffy, and the sauce was awesome. Service was pretty quick. I didn't have to wait long for my food at all. I also tried the jerk wings, and they were also delicious. I would definitely recommend trying their food if you're in the area.

Came here after the Growler Gallup 10 mile run. Was about 7:30 on a Sunday. Decided to get the Chicken Fritters and Caribbean Fries. Both were delicious. Loved the aioli on the fries. The girl that took my order was really nice and pleasant and delivered our orders to the table. She also offered us complimentary crispy Brussels when they were shutting down. 5 stars for the service and good food. Will be back to try more menu items.

Loved the concept of this restaurant and location. It's like a mash up of Food truck meets cafe. The menu boasts a great variety of Caribbean inspired selections. We tried the Chicken Sausage (on top of a pineapple slice) and the Steak Sandwich paired with Mac n' Cheese for both. Both dishes were filled with flavor and absolutely delicious. One of the perks of the location (Detroit Shipping Co.) is the variety of restaurants offered within the space. Next door to Coop to Table are Asian and Mexican restaurants. There are still a few unopened stations that may soon be filled with other food options. *Fingers crosses for an Indian spot * All restaurants posted affordable prices for the dishes and serve your meals on cafeteria style trays. Indoor and outdoor seating are available. There is also a bar located in the middle of the location offering both alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. Along the upper outer perimeter is a podcast station and t-shirt printing shop. I'd say the only downfall is the parking. There is shared non-paved parking with the Peterboro next door and some street parking offered also. There are security guards watching the lot which makes you feel more comfortable but the bumpiness makes for a not so pleasant parking experience.

LOVE LOVE THEIR JERK CHICKEN. Got some today on the infamous JUNETEENTH. Never had them before but was very impressed. Will def. Fo back for more at a later date when the world opens back up regularly.

This was my second time having Coop. The first time I went was a couple months ago and I ordered the Spicy chicken sandwich and Caribbean corn. I was blown away. I had never had corn with so much flavor depth. It was $8, which is very pricey, especially since you only get two ears, but I was intrigued so I indulged. Tonight, I got the same order and was very disappointed. The sandwich didn't have much flavor other than the taste of Buffalo sauce and a few rogue mandarin oranges. The part that I was most annoyed by was that I was handed not two, but 1 1/2 ears of corn. That is mad disrespectful to charge $8 for corn and be so greedy that you go through the effort of halving ears of corn for more profit. When I asked the female employee if the order was right and explained that I received two last time, she said, "did you look at the display?" Which I didn't until then because it's on the opposite side of the window from the menu (there were 1 1/2 ears of corn on it, btw) and I couldn't help but feel like that response was adding insult to injury. I just dropped $50.xx and all I had to show for it was a chicken sandwich, two orders of Mac and cheese, and 3 ears of corn so I was confused on how the hell someones sky high profit margins on their corn could possibly be asking for more money by giving their customer less. Unfortunately, this has to be the last time I'll be having Coop. I cannot justify any of those prices and risk receiving mediocre food again. I know I'm not the only review complaining about these same issues, so maybe someday the owner will get their head out of the clouds.

First the Caribbean fries. I never had fries like that. I love their garlic aioli sauce. It was so delicious, I'd take that over cheese fries any day. The chicken fritters were juicy and tender. Their guava mango bbq sauce is insane! I usually hate coleslaws but there's were lit. We'll be definitely order them again along with some other items.

Made over $100 order today and was missing my chicken sandwich that I ordered twice, but it's my fault for not checking while I was there. As soon as we find out it was missing we tried contacting them through the number they have online and they would not answer, went straight to voicemail.

The food and the customer service are great at Coop. I had the Midtown Crispy Chicken-Fork sandwich. It has to be one of the best tasting chicken sandwiches in town. It's dressed with bacon jam, pimento cheese, and pickles. The crispy Brussels sprouts are also amazing. The sauce or drippings or whatever is in that bowl is sooo good. We wanted to try the Coop wings and the Mac and cheese but they were sold out. The Jamaica punch is also good. The drawback is the pricing for the amount of food that you receive. The portions are rather small. Seriously small. The chicken sandwich is open faced, and it's a "regular" piece of bread. The price was approximately $20 for what you see in my photos. Coop is big on taste, but small on portions.

The Detroit Shipping Company is a great place for hanging out for a drink or grabbing some food. I went to Coop Farm to Table and got their jerk chicken, steak empanadas, and carribean corn. The chicken was pretty good as it was juicy, however, it was a little burnt in some parts. The spice rub was the winner. The empanadas were tasty and the pairing of the sauce and cilantro was a nice touch. The corn was flavorful with the chili lime and cheese! I would definitely come back again!

Well, I'd *love* to be able to give this place a better rating, but based on our first experience, I just can't, and a two-star "Meh. I've experienced better." statement is absolutely correct. Let me be clear: I tried food from three of the purveyors at DSC tonight, and of the three, Coop's fare was *far* in the rear. I ordered the jerk chicken wings, as the half chicken, for some odd reason that defies explanation, wasn't available. On a Tuesday night. Before a Red Wings game. Let me emphasize this: it was *never* available today. They did not "run out"...they just never had it available in the first place, on GAME NIGHT. I'm thinking poor planning to start with. Those jerk chicken wings, though? Really a poor offering. Don't misunderstand: the sauce, mandarin oranges, the lime wedge...they were all fine, and should be applauded. I'm sure with some decent, meaty, juicy chicken, this would be a *darned* good dish. Expensive, but worth it, especially as a treat before the Wings game. I mean, you might as well spend your money here before the big old price hike at LCA, right? Well, maybe not. These things were *sorry* excuses for wings. Dry, tough, bereft of meat, really difficult to eat. I wanted to take them back, and probably should have (so I'm willing to accept at least 20% of the blame, here), but quite frankly, there just didn't seem to be enough time to do so, and I didn't want to go to the trouble. There was nothing wrong with the service level, except that, surely: these wings shouldn't have been served to anyone. They were visibly *tiny*, and there's no person with partially-legal eyesight that would look at these and say, "Yeah, sure, I'd gladly pay for those." They looked poor, and tasted/ate worse. I'm not condemning them to live in death or anything...it could have just been an off night, or a *really* poor batch of wings, and again: I didn't take them back and say anything when I should have (which was after eating/trying to eat *one* wing). However, this was a dish which was greatly touted beforehand, and couldn't have been much more disappointing. Not worth the time, much less the money, and they were *not* inexpensive. I'll try them again, but I'll say something ahead of time, I think.

I placed a Grub Hub order on 3/11 8 piece wings Brussels sprouts Fries The chicken I assume was smoked but it was bleeding and pink not a Smokey pink. So, I was very disappointed when Grub Hub said they contacted you and you would not grant a refund. The Brussels sprouts and fries slapped HARD! By far the best Brussels sprouts I've ever had! Unfortunately the only fowl I eat med-rare is duck breast. If those Brussels sprouts weren't so good I'd hit you with the I'm not returning, but since the execution on the other food was so good...I'm hitting you with my utter disappointment and 2 stars!

First off as every establishment in the Detroit shipping company the presentation is absolutely beautiful. I had the jerk chicken wings, the white cheddar mac and cheese, and the Caribbean corn. I thought the jerk chicken wings had a good char flavor to them and a good spice but I believe they would be too spicy 4 people that don't like spicy food and weren't really a jerk chicken was essentially a barbecue chicken wing and I thought they were over priced at $16. The white cheddar mac and cheese was good, but mid-level good. The Caribbean corn tasted really good but essentially was elotes Mexican street corn. All in all I believe this is a great addition to the Detroit shipping company my rating is 3.5 Stars but I'm going to round up to four stars.

I just had the most amazing meal + experience at Norma G's :) Food is INCREDIBLE.. everything I tried (jerk chicken, doubles, curry) was on point, perfectly seasoned. The staff was attentive & pleasant & personable ...despite the fact that it was Valentines Day & the place was (comfortably) jammed. The ambiance is pretty perfect.. low light & colorful decor. Great place to take your Significant Other;) Also, I must add that for being a higher end dining experience, the food is very reasonably priced. Anyways, I'm so happy I found this place.. Can't wait to return to try more deliciousness ! I'd give more stars if I could :)

Saw someone's pile of Brussels, and then I got this soggy mess. The menu read "crispy Brussels." Feel bad, cause I want to support. But this sucks. And it's literally sitting in half-a-cup pool of Mrs. Buttersworth; why would you farm to table and then douse it in Mrs. Butterworth?

I was disappointed with my Carribean Corn order compared to someone else's in my party as my corn cob had not fully-developed so there were hardly any corn pieces to bite off. I had to resort to licking the toppings off which was less than desirable. The toppings were delicious, I just wish they had some quality control with the corn cobs that they use.

Had the Caribbean fries, garlic aioli, fresco cheese and Cajun seasoning. Loved the concept and again had high hopes, but unfortunately not good at all, they were too sweet, didn't expect sweetness at all. Next time I'll stick with my first mind for sure, drinks only at Detroit Shipping Company.

We came to Detroit shipping company to check it out before a show and it's such a cool concept. Restaurants and hang out spot made by shipping containers! It has a cafeteria concept so there's a few places to order from which share the dining area. We decided to get a bite at Coop. We ordered the chicken sandwich and jerk chicken wings. While presentation was beautiful, the taste was just mediocre. The chicken wings were a little too charred for my liking. The sauce was pretty good though. The sandwhich had good coleslaw but it was just an ordinary chicken sandwich to me - nothing to write home about. Overall, seems like a cool place to hang out but very cliche hipster food.

Tried the jerk ribs. The spice giant got immediately at first but kind of gradually built as I was eating them. They were delicious but aside from the dogs I'm not 100% sure what would put them apart from regular ribs, I really like ribs though so I can't complain.

Absolutely horrendous customer service for sub-par food. First and last time ordering or recommending this place. I ordered a meal for delivery and not only did 1/2 my meal NOT make it to me. They kept changing the time of delivery causing it to be 1 hour over the proposed time. The driver was sorry when he arrived and I looked at the bag realizing how light it was, he said "This is what they gave me and the TOLD ME to tell you they didn't have anymore". What type of customer service is that? How hard is it to call a customer and say "Hello, I know you just ordered an entree but we have run out of this. Would you like me to pick something else (instead of WAIT on that item) or would you like to cancel?" How hard is that to do? Apparently, it is hard for them to handle and honestly I wish them the best. Please use this review as a learning opportunity. Do better.

I'm here on a not so busy Saturday afternoon and my wings and corn have taken 25 minutes. Twenty-five minutes in a place that's essentially carry out. I also asked for no bacon on my corn which cake out with bacon. After taking it back, I was assured It was not bacon but bread crumbs so I trim a bite... it was bacon. So disappointed, I had Coop at a Metro Times event and thought it was good.... not my experience today. The chicken wings were already cooked and dry bu they add Sweet Baby Rays sauce right from the jar.... not good!
