The Rolling Stoves is what I guess they call a "fast casual" restaurant. You order at the counter, but they make everything fresh.
They have some cool decor, like records that are cut out in the names of various groups, a rustic menu board, and the classic Detroit "D" on the wall. There is a counter that goes around the perimeter of the restaurant, and a few tables in the middle. As a short person, the tall counter & bar stools are a problem. I managed to get onto one in the corner, but as soon as a table opened up, I grabbed it.
I ordered a rodeo burger "salad" which is really just a burger and its fixings put on shredded lettuce, garlic fries and a drink.
I don't often order soft drinks, so I had a bit of fun trying to find some iced tea in the machine that has lots of offerings. The tea was good, and there were several iterations.
My burger salad was pretty good. There was a LOT of broken up bacon on it. I didn't really like the barbecue sauce with it, though.
I really wanted to like the fries, but they were WAY too garlicky for me, and I love garlic. Since I didn't finish the bacon bits or the fries, I mixed them together and I will mix them with additional fries to tone it down.
I really appreciated that this is a family owned business. I believe one of the owners and their children were sitting at one of the other tables, and they were just laid back and friendly.
I think if I go back, I will get something more traditional, but, in any case, I'm glad I visited.
