"In March 2020, the vegan eatery Detroit Street Filling Station in Ann Arbor began selling grocery basics like almond milk, vegetables, and vegan butter, along with its usual prepared food." - Jena Brooker
"The menu at Detroit Street Filling Station features vegan takes on classic bar food like nachos, wings, and burgers. The space is usually a place for live music and community events but the dining room is currently closed. The full menu as well as cocktails and grocery items are available by ordering online or phone." - John Reyes
"Think comfort for Valentine’s Day with a pan of vegan lasagna that serves two and plenty of leftovers. The pasta is filled with roasted zucchini and onions, sundried tomatoes, tofu ricotta, house-made marinara and Violife mozzarella. Place orders online for pick-up or delivery." - Judith Rontal
"Originally designed to help service workers, Detroit Street Filling Station’s Community Aid program provides free meals and groceries to anyone out of work and in need of assistance." - Brenna Houck
"Vegan restaurant Detroit Street Filling Station in Ann Arbor also elected to close down its patio dine-in service for the season, citing concerns about health and safety. Reached by Eater on Friday, owner Phillis Engelbert says that as a business owner, closing down was a tough decision to make, given that, until very recently, nearly 50 percent of the restaurant’s business was from people eating in Detroit Street Filling Station’s outdoor space. The new contact tracing rules, which go into effect at restaurants and bars on Monday, November 2, felt like a sign. “It became obvious that it was the right time to make the call to just stop offering in-person dining... a lot of people will congregate at our outdoor tables, and it just feels like a responsible move,” she says. For now, Detroit Street Filling Station will renew its efforts to provide delivery and carryout to customers, who Engelbert hopes will support the decision to close the patio." - Brenna Houck
