Let me recommend: Bill’s Hot Dog Stand in Ypsilanti.
It’s a drive-in. Open your window and eat in the parking lot. Get their dogs with everything on it + a mug of root beer. If you don’t eat dogs, at least get the root beer!!! I don’t even like root beer that much, but I now dream about the root beer from Bill’s.
Absolute reasonable prices, too: got 4 dogs & 2 mugs of root beer for around 10$ total!
What’s your recommendation for unexpectedly good food in Michigan?
Ok, I’ve got a few that I’d recommend for unexpectedly good:
Maryland Fried Chicken - Imlay City Country Smokehouse - Imlay City Jayell’s BBQ - Romeo Las Tortugas - Sterling Heights Rosita’s Treats (Columbian food) - Shelby Township
As a Cincinnati chili enjoyer, the handful of Coney Island type places I’ve been to in Detroit were pretty good.
Haven’t been up there in ages, I really should change that.
I dont know if you guys have heard of this one, it makes top ten in the state lists frequently, but it was down the street my entire life and I just discovered it. Ernies in Oak Park has insane sandwiches
La Probadita in Hart, MI
Niang Myanmar here in Lansing wasn’t a place I ever expected to find when I moved here. I’ve never heard of another Burmese restaurant. They have pickled tea leaf salad, and fried bottle gourd, among a number of other delicious dishes I’d never heard of. Great prices too. Terrible location though lol
