My first experience at Z's was lunch and I had the pita sandwich. Honestly, it was pretty lame and I wasn't anxious to go back.
Several months later a friend suggested we hit Zs before a Tiger's game. They offered a free shuttle so the cheapskate in me figured if I did nothing more than spend my $20 parking money on beer, it would be a win since beer is $10 at Comerica Park!
We arrived before the other Tiger's fans and started with the bucket of beer special...6 domestic beers of our choice in an icy cold bucket for $15. Yep, I'm already saving money on my parking and I have ICE COLD BEER! The waiter walks by with an awesome looking pizza. What goes great with cold beer? That's right kids, PIZZA!
I order the "Warrior" which was a Detroit style pizza made with meaty goodness. It was fantastic! Two of us ate the whole large, no dogs at the park for us!
The waitstaff were friendly and attentive. Y'all know how much I gripe about lousy service so Z's gets a gold star for that!
Randy, the shuttle driver was kind enough to give us a 15 minute warning that his van would be leaving for the game. We drank up our beer and he said we could ask the bartender for a roadie. What, what, what? We can drink on the bus to the park? I have died and gone to heaven (If there's no beer in heaven, I'm not going!).
Randy dropped us off, gave our drunk butts instructions about where/when he would pick us up, told us to be safe and enjoy the game. I gave him a big hug for being such a sweetie. He has a great laugh!
After the game, Randy was waiting for us at the appointed place and the designated time. He was friendly and a great, safe driver. We went back into Zs for an after game celebration. Randy made the experience great for us with his friendly demeanor. If you take his shuttle, tip him big because he's a swell guy.
So, my second take on Z's is don't order the pita, get the pizza and icy cold beer!
