Central Kitchen + Bar

The food was phenomenal. We got the pork belly and whipped ricotta for appetizers. For the main meals, we got the bolognese and smash burger. Wowww that burger was definitely something to remember. There’s something in the sauce that makes its different from other smash burgers .The service was great and our server (kait) was really welcoming and friendly. Everything came out fast considering it was a busy Saturday night. Definitely make a reservation because there will be a wait if you dont. We will definitely come back.

This isn’t my first time, but this visit was different. It was a packed house during my most recent visit to Central Kitchen and Bar, there was a huge party renting out the bar, another large party for a reservation and so I ended up out on the patio. Although the patio is heated, this Michigan Winter is a beast, for the love of Fig flatbread and The herb fries, I took the risk. Dre my waiter, was super accommodating, he pulled a smaller heater directly by our table, gave suggestions for happy hour and moved swiftly. The manger Elle came out to check in me and made sure we felt comfortable and was ready to find a spot inside if anything became available. Dre eventually got us inside and we were able to end our night warm!! The food was so good! My friend and I enjoyed the herb seasoned f

This was our first time visiting. It's great for a casual and fun date night. It's very busy and can be quite loud, but offers a cool vibe. The food was good and they had some of the best fries. Would recommend the Lavender Lemonade if you're looking for a non-alcoholic drink. Great service from a great staff!

Stopped in for cocktails and shared the rosemary fries and wow, they were outstanding. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and easily the kind of appetizer you keep thinking about afterward. We didn’t stay for dinner this time, but the cocktail menu was solid and well executed. The place is always busy, which adds to the energy and makes it feel like a go-to spot rather than a one-time visit. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and excellent shareable bites. Definitely a place we’ll return to next time for a full meal.

The place was a little loud for our taste; we made reservations online and the place was on bump before 1pm for Sunday brunch. Brandon, our server, was knowledgeable and attentive, and Elle, the manager, was accommodating and kind. The food was great especially the tres leche french toast and the chicken and waffles. For our anniversary, we were blessed with a piece of carrot cake. It was scrumptious—sweet and light. The cream cheese frosting reminded me of a Cinnabon but it was soaked in a sweet liqueur.
