Ann Arbor @ Curbside (February 2022)

 











Restaurants

Common Grill (Chelsea) R.I.P. We note with sadness the announcement that Craig Common will be closing his great restaurant in Chelsea after 30 years. Final date is March 13th. We wish the Commons a peaceful retirement.

UPDATE: The Common Grill will survive.


February 20-25, 2022

So many choices, so little time, six days to be exact. We managed three selections this year.

Mama Sotto (715 N. University St., Ann Arbor) Restaurant Week special - four courses $25 per person. We have consensus that both the crab soup and the dumpling soup were excellent. Tempura doesn't travel well, it needs to be hot out of the fryer and reheating makes it soggy. The seaweed salad was tasty and both of salmon & crab main course sushi were well seasoned and fresh. Big complaint, our order was short several items, there was food enough for four but not the complete order we had paid for. 

Blue Tractor (207 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor) Another special, barbeque for four $55. For the barbeque lovers this was a find. The ribs were meaty and perfectly cooked. Pulled pork was a generous serving. Mac & cheese was done with fusilli, which we prefer to macaroni. Good cole slaw, corn bread and to top off the barbeque feast - a large squeeze bottle of sauce.

Pacific Rim (114 W. Liberty St., Ann Arbor) Our clear Restaurant Week winner! We have avoided Pacific Rim for takeout because we just thought the excellent menu would not carry-out all that well. We were wrong, wrong, wrong. Here are our selections:
 
Saigon Spring Rolls 
Pacific Rim Crabcake 
Roasted Winter Squash Soup 
Winter Salad with Soy-Balsamic Vinaigrette 
Miso-Teriyaki Salmon 
Thai Bouillabaisse 
Chocolate-Passionfruit Mousse 

 Each course was as good as the last and the first course was outstanding. The squash soup was just perfect, great sauce on the crab cake. A+ for Pacific Rim. The Restaurant Week special was three courses for $28.

Boutique Foodie Destinations

Grand Traverse Pie Company (291 N. Zeeb Road, Ann Arbor) 2 feta quiche slices ($5.49 each), one regulation regular crust apple pie ($18.99) first time we went with the standard fair instead of the crumble crust, one chocolate-cherry muffin ($2.49) for the drive home. The muffin was delicious. Quiche is always good at GTPC and comes with warm pumpkin bread. I must admit the apple pie is just too standard for me, also my fault for not ordering the crumble crust.

Argus Farm Stop (see last month's review) Argus is now a regular, if not weekly, foodie destination for us. The bread selection is the best in town.

Yoon's Bakery To experience the tastes of Yoon's one must leave our American taste buds at home. Both the sweet and the savory treats here are from the Asian palette. We had mixed reviews of four or five samples, only because we were not ready for the range of flavors. Definitely, worth a revisit and a wider selection of offerings.

Home Meal Delivery Kit

Green Chef. I don't know, it was late, I was surfing and Green Chef popped up and there was an introductory discount and I mean what can I say for $41 we got 3 meals (2 servings each). As with most of these services the key is advertised as "No more meal planning, just cooking." All the ingredients are included except salt, pepper and oil. "Dinner in 30 minutes or less." Thirty minutes does not take into account the time to read the eight step directions, nor my less than professional knife skills. But I digress. 

Green Chef is mostly vegetarian in five categories: Keto & Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian, Fast & Fit, and Mediterranean. We went with vegetarian:

1) Truffle Butter Risotto

2) Hoisin Mushroom & Edamame Bowls

3) Mushroom Curry Udon Bowls

My assessment is that each of the dishes was a bargain at the introductory price of just over $7, however, at the everyday tag of over $15 not so much. Flavor, taste and ingredients were all quality, we enjoyed each of the dishes and noted more than adequate spices and sauces. Also, several dishes took five, six, even seven pots and pans.

Not sure if we will be trying out any further meal delivery services, stay tuned. If anyone is interesting in trying Green Chef, let us know, we have some introductory referrals that can save you money on your first order.

If you are considering any or all home meal services, there are lots of comparison reviews online, we suggest this one from The New York Post 2/1/2022.

Ann Arbor @ Curbside (March)



March reviews - Many more munchables to share as Michigan winter gives way to quickly warming spring.


JJ Crab House (2871 Carpenter Road, Ann Arbor)  Back in July the same folks ran Naked Burrito at this location. Clearly they have changed their food focus. We had the Shrimp Hibachi, with soup, salad and rice. And an outstanding Shrimp dinner off the seafood menu. The don't really explain that the seafood menu items are served as a boil but that is not a complaint. Lots of potatoes, corn, sausage and lots of shrimp bathed in garlic butter. The boil is easily two meals Also offered are a deep-fried menu and half a dozen family big feast options.

Star's Cafe (2375 Jackson Ave., Ann Arbor) A repeat from just last month, we were and remain impressed by the menu at Star's Cafe. We went lighter this time with a Spinach Pie Plate and a Meat Pie Plate. Still a good value and really flavorful eats.

Cornman Farms (8540 Island Lake Road, Dexter) Another repeat, we had the fish fry back in September. This time we grabbed two yummy "Pie & Mash" options, the Wednesday weekly specials in March. Chickpea Tikka Masala and Chicken Tikka Masala. Both meals had outstanding, flaky crust on the pies, well season with truly memorable ginger/lemon carrots on the side. Look for more monthly popups at Cornman Farms. BTW, that's the pie&mash in the photo at the top of this month's post.

Monahan's Seafood (Kerrytown, Ann Arbor) Besides the best fresh fish in town, Monahan's has a great lunch menu (11-3). We went with the soup/chowder of the day, a saffron fish chowder and the deep-fried shrimp with fries, a standard menu item. On this day, we didn't stock up at the other shops, which is usually a good idea when venturing out to Kerrytown. We do suggest phoning in your order for easy pick-up in person or at curbside.

Leo's Coney Island (locations) Leo's is a local chain, though with nearly 70 stores, it ain't exactly Mom & Pop. I have an affinity for loose hamburgers with chili, onions and yellow mustard. Though I would rather be at the Lafayette Coney in Detroit, that's a long way to drive for nostalgia purposes and a ten minute lunch. The salmon burger, I know at a Coney restaurant with salmon? but it was good and the onion rings on the side were a large order for a standard price. 

We've decided to expand our coverage to include several stores/deli's/food-to-go options available to us here in the Ann Arbor food cornucopia. This was prompted by a bread discussion, which came down to there simply being so many, too many bakery options. We begin this exploration with shopping spree at Argus Farm Stop.

Argus Farm Stop (325 W. Liberty St. or 1200 Packard Rd., both Ann Arbor) First, the breads. Argus receives bread from at least five different bakeries on a rolling weekly schedule. Our only complaint in this review is that the bread schedule is not on the website. We picked up a truly wonderful Olive Levain loaf from White Lotus Farms and a Potato Rosemary selection from Crust Bakery. Then there was the Fruit & Quinoa salad with mixed greens, toasted walnuts, goat cheese, shaved fennel, red grapefruit, pineapple with a white baslamic dressing. The salad comes from Juicy Kitchen here in Ann Arbor another stop/review for later. Add to that two slices of quiche (roasted pepper & manchego and butternut/shishito) for lunch the next day and some Kim Chi from The Brinery, also in Ann Arbor. I did say this was a shopping spree: we added Greek olive oil from Stamatopoulis & Sons (they have an outlet in Dexter). And finally, a bit of Mindo's chocolate, also a Dexter by way of Equador product.

Zingerman's Deli (Kerrytown, Ann Arbor) Yes a repeat,perhaps a re-repeat; Zingerman's in all its extensions is seemingly everywhere in Ann Arbor. But we had to try the olive bread, which is not always on the bakery menu, along with another favorite at our house, the scrumptious English muffins. While I was there, it felt only right to lunch on a massive pastrami sandwich and pickup a bottle of olive oil.

Ann Arbor @ Curbside (February)

 


A short cold month, needs more hot food . . .

Knight's (2324 Dexter Ave., Ann Arbor) Well, we made it to one of the Knight's restaurants. Even though Michigan is back to limited indoor dining, we are not. Curbside pickup for a blackened, moist, thick slab of salmon dinner with super rich vegetable ravioli. Second meal - a stick-to-the-ribs meatloaf dinner, mashed potatoes and mixed steamed veggies. You can call Knight's half-an-hour before pickup, lunch and dinner menus available.

Tmaz Taqueria (3182 Packard, Ann Arbor) While we happened to be around and about the Southeast part of town, we remembered a previous visit to Tmaz. Standard Mexican-American faire at decent prices. To-go, curbside or delivery. Being in the neighborhood we stopped by, if you do visit be sure to peruse the most interesting sweet treats on the shelves while waiting. Strange what sweet tooths will consume to satisfy the urge. The enchiladas and tacos we ordered were well above average, both the black beans or refried and rice were excellent. A top notch variety of sauces are available.

DJ's Bakery (3031 Packard, Ann Arbor) Same road trip as the Tmaz review above. DJ's is often mentioned in reviews of best bakeries in the area. They are known for stuff pretzels, unstuffed pretzels, dozens of other sweet tasty treats and apple fritters. Everyone makes apple fritters, which means I cannot explain why they are better at DJ's, but they are.

Satchel's BBQ (3035 Washtenaw Ave. Ann Arbor) A Super Bowl feast. The smoked salmon was excellent as were the BBQ sausages. The sides were well above average with particular kudos to the cole slaw and the mac&cheese. Good quantities on all items with plenty left over for a Monday lunch.

Domino's (many locations) Hey, I had a coupon. Besides I like double cheese, pepperoni with lite sauce. Plus, the Pacific Veggie pie has a ton of veggies.

Star's Cafe (2575 Jackson Ave., Ann Arbor) Big props to this new find. Well, new to us but from the crowd around dinner time, the word is already out. Star's is middle-eastern with a great selection and large portions. We tried the Chicken Shawerma and the Cauliflower Plate, both were excellent with enough food for a second meal; same goes for the large salad. Our only complaint is the website which is just a photograph of the menu with no way to enlarge it. Fix the website but don't change the food. Oh, and did I mention good prices too.


February 21-26 was Ann Arbor Restaurant Week. We sampled a few after several hours of menu perusal and mouth-watering debate. 

Zingerman's Roadhouse (2501 Jackson Ave., Ann Arbor) Most of the participants in Restaurant Week have special menu items for dining in. This year many of the eateries also tweaked their take-out/curbside offerings. We had the Harvest Pasta and the Herbed Whitefish entrees. Both came with a Ricotta Bruschetta appetizer and a biscuit blueberry bread pudding dessert.

Palio (347 S. Main St., Ann Arbor) We went for the Date Night Dinner for Two. Nice salad followed by Capellini Di Gamberi Scampi and Salmon Piccati, we like salmon a lot. Dessert was Tiramisu, a large portion. I must say the curbside was fast and efficient even if the other curbside drivers were lacking in certain parking etiquette. Oh and the dinner included a bottle of wine, white or red.

We've been asked - "Why are all the reviews positive?" We made a decision early on to simply not review disappointing meals. This is not Yelp!

Ann Arbor @ Curbside (December)

 



Five reviews with a double dip this month.

Pilar's Tamales (2261 West Liberty St. Ann Arbor) A new one for us and a menu that will need several more tries to get a full sampling of their alluring victuals. We recommend the Perfect Pair Special, chose one tamale and one pupusa from the great variety of each. [curbside pickup]

Cottage Inn (multiple locations) Although one of us is very fond of certain of their toasted sandwiches, we order two pizzas: a veggie with a pesto swirl and a double pepperoni for me. With four locations in Ann Arbor, one in Saline and another in Ypsilanti; Cottage Inn covers our area. Delivery can get backed up in these curbside & delivery days but they make a really good pie. [delivery]

Ann Arbor Farmer's Market (@Kerrytown) The winter months are tricky at the local Farmer's Market. Some food trucks appear or not. Of course, the vendors vary a bit based on weather and availability of product. We grabbed some soup fixin's and a lunch snack at one of the trucks. And maybe some raw honey, a loaf of fresh bread and some lovely looking chard for a homemade soup. [pickup]

Monahan's Seafood Market (in Kerrytown) Expect more appearances by Monahan's in our future. Round One: The various parchment wrapped fish options can be pre-ordered. We grabbed a pint of the really full-bodied clam chowder, we got there too late (this week) for the lobster chowder. Round Two: we picked up two parchment wrapped entries (Tilapia & Salmon) A+ for both. Warning with the busy holiday season they are now taking orders a day in advance for these items. Daily lunch service runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. if you are after the chowder or the ever tempting fish-and-chips plus many other prepared yummies. [pickup]

Aroma (221 W. Liberty) Aroma is a new Indian restaurant, one of three we will be trying over the next several weeks (or months). The menu is extensive with over 80 selections not including appetizers, drinks or desserts. We will definitely be trying Aroma again. One complaint, the "mild" level on the spices is not mild by any stretch of the taste buds. Its at least medium and if you are not a spice fan (we are) you should go with no spice at all. Still, a new taste treat, well worth a visit. [curbside pickup]

Ann Arbor @ Curbside (November)

 









Seven Reviews for November

Half a bubble off this month with a few not-quite-full-meal stopovers. And not always curbside either. But yummy eats none the less.

Dexter Bakery (8101 Main St. Dexter) We've made several visits to the long-established (1915) bakery in downtown Dexter. They are using some of the original recipes from over 100 years ago. The wood plank floors are still those we remember from our early days and the display cases are the same. The highlights, of course, are the donuts and cinnamon buns. But we always seem to walk-out with a German pretzel or six. 

Dexter Cider Mill (3685 Central St. Dexter) The cider mill is an even older Dexter institution (1886). A small store offers cider, apples, Dexter Bakery donuts and a variety of fall jams and jellies. The season is fast closing, so you need to make your trip soon. We recommend Huron River Drive from Ann Arbor for a scenic approach, the Mill is just over the bridge at Mast Road and Huron River Drive into Dexter. [Oops, closed for the season]

Grand Traverse Pie Company (291 North Zeeb, Ann Arbor) We've been making regular trips to Grand Traverse Pie for several months now. The strawberry-rhubarb crumble top might be our favorite with the ABC (apple, blueberry, cherry) coming in a close second. We have yet to try any of the custard or cream pies but those are coming for the holidays in this household. We did try the quiche slices for lunch last week, they were delicious with generous proportions.

Barry's Bagels (2515 Jackson Ave., Ann Arbor) Another long-time standby. I realized the other day, we have never eaten anything off the Barry's menu except the bagels. We get a dozen at a time, predominantly Asiago with a few sweet delights for variety.

Chili's (3795 Washtenaw Ave., Ann Arbor) I know, I know, fast food, really? Well, not fast food, but corporate chain, for sure. But we had a thank-you gift card and it was about to expire. That being said, I really enjoyed the carnitas fajitas. All in all, and not with slight praise, the entire meal was more than expected. Pandemic bonus, they have a to-go door at the front of the building, no need to mix with the indoor patrons or staff.

Detroit Street Filling Station (300 Detroit St., Ann Arbor) The only drawback to the Filling Station is that their website does not own up to the vegan nature of the establishment. Given that, the raspberry basil grilled cheese was the most unique item I've had in many a month. We also had a spread of appetizers that easily combined to make two meals. Someone went a bit over the top when she got to the dessert menu, so we had enough to sample and share for several days. Top marks to the sugar side of the menu, even the items without sugar. Curbside pickup was efficient with a staffer prowling the parking lot to deliver our order in less than two minutes.

Zingerman's Deli (422 Detroit St., Ann Arbor) We've mention the Zingerman's @ Home service in previous months and our fishy adventure at Cornman Farms, this is about an actual pickup at the Deli. We needed bread for turkey stuffing and some of the scrumptious English muffins, so why not go for a couple of the great deli sandwiches. I mean as long as your making a run to Zingerman's. I had the Jenny's Fix pastrami option and we also tried the vegetarian Leo's Friendly Lion with avocado, green chiles and muenster. We miss wandering through the balsamic vinegar aisle and peering into the loaded deli cases but right now its online or phone orders only.

Ann Arbor @ Curbside (October)

 


5 Reviews for October

Dimo's Deli & Donuts (2030 W. Stadium Blvd.) Like so many eateries, Dimo's has limited hours (breakfast and lunch) due to Covid. Currently they are open 6 am to 4 pm, which can lead to some items running out mid-afternoon. A main reason I patronize Dimo's is the hot pastrami and I was not disappointed. What was missing in our lunch order was the grape leaves, which were substituted for with really good falafels but alas not grape leaves. All was forgiven when we reheated the apple fritters the next morning. Yes Deli and Donuts.

Zingerman's@Home (422 Detroit St.) Our third try with the Zingerman's at Home menu but a repeat dish as we couldn't stop raving about the Ginger Glazed Salmon in August and this week that dish was back. Four orders this time around, we had socially-distanced guests. Sides were Wild Rice with Mushrooms and Cranberries plus Sweet Garlic Squash. Both sides and salmon were more than generous portions. On a side note, no matter how, where or when you interact with employees at any of Zingerman's establishments, they are uniformly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. 

No Thai (Kerrytown) Yes, four months is a row. I guess I can no longer suggest this isn't an endorsement of No Thai. There was a minor screw-up on the timing of delivery on our order but I assume that was karma because the blog title is "curbside" and I ordered delivery. The drunken noodles were perfect as always and the spring rolls remain divine.

Hotel Hickman Chuckwagon BBQ (8050 Main St. in Dexter) Look there are a lot of good BBQ places. Each to his or her own favorite. In our case we may have a couple of favs. However, one of us has a long remembered affinity for Dexter back when it was a village. Hotel Hickman occupies a space that has been the village library, the police station, the village council chambers and rumor has it a speak-easy. On the other hand, the BBQ is chuckwagon old west style, we have a strong prejudice for that style of Q. They also have truly memorable apple, cherry and bourbon peach cobbler and they serve breakfast. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 6 AM 'til 7 PM.

Bell's Diner (2167 W. Stadium Blvd.) Yes, another repeat but this time we actually only got one order of Bi-Bim-Bop (bibimbap or bibimbob). As I've said before, Bell's is a real diner. So I indulged in a patty melt with onion rings, comfort food for these scary times. It was Halloween after all.

Ann Arbor @ Curbside [September]

 


September Reviews - five establishments

Matty J's (972 E. Michigan Ave., Saline) A bakery and more, definitely more. Curbside only right now and they close at 2 PM. But you have to order early, really early to get the Brioche Rolls (which are now only available on Friday and Saturday). We found the sandwiches (Vegan Veggie and Chipolte Turkey Avocado) to be outstanding. The Sunflower Rye is just one of the half dozen breads available. By the way, Matty J's supplies bread to several locations in and around Saline. Next time, we're going for the Deep Dish Quiche.

Seva (2541 Jackson Ave.) Carry out, curbside and limited seating.  The to-go menu is more limited than the dine-in but we had no issues satisfying our gastronomic needs. Greek Quinoa Salad, Asparagus Ravioli, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Quesadilla and Cilantro-Peanut Stir Fry satisfied another socially-distanced gathering of four.

Bell's Diner (2167 W. Stadium Blvd.) Look there are a lot of good diner dishes at Bell's Diner. Our problem is that they serve a great Bi-Bim-Bop, which means we never get to any of the other good stuff. There is a comprehensive Korean menu at Bell's along with great diner breakfast offerings (or so we've been told). A full grill menu of burgers, hot dogs and fresh sandwiches are also available. But they make a great Bi-Bim-Bop.

Le Dog (306 S. Main St.) Yes, Le Dog is back. They reopened Mid-September and yes, the Lobster Bisque is on the menu Thursday and Friday. But all the rest of the soups are also available and highly recommended. Expect future reviews of the wide variety of soupy options and the occasional wiener. But leave it said: the lobster bisque is rich, perfectly seasoned, plenty of lobster bits. You will need to pick-up a loaf of crusty bread to sop it all up.

No Thai (Kerrytown) Yes, for the third consecutive month No Thai makes our list. Another socially-distanced lunch with friends at our home. We have managed to find one tiny complaint, when ordering the mild heat on a dish many times there are little pockets of medium or even higher spice. For some this is a short sinus-clearing moment, for others its a lunchtime shock.

Ann Arbor @ Curbside [August]

 






August Reviews - 4 + 1 establishments

Four new reviews in August and one repeat.

No Thai (Kerrytown) Yes, our first but not the last repeat. No Thai remains a solid Top Ten on our go-to list. This time we had friends over, socially-distanced of course. The mix of dishes was interesting but in the time of Covid we did not share, which is a real loss because I definitely wanted to try the Green Curry. Highly recommended are the spring rolls and my favorite the Drunken Noodles.

Zingerman's@Home If you're not from around here (Southeast Michigan) you might not know about Zingerman's, feel free to follow the link. For our purposes here we took advantage of a Covid response by the catering kitchen at Zingerman's called Zingerman's@Home. A limited but scrumptious menu is offered for pick-up or delivery. We tried the @home option twice in August. The Hungarian Paprikash and the Fungi Pot Pie were good the first week but the Atlantic Salmon on our second try was outstanding. Locals know all the facets of the Zingerman's family of restaurants and stores. We will be heading back to the @Home option again when the salmon appears.

Cornman Farms (Island Lake Road, Dexter) Another Zingerman's business is Cornman Farms. Generally, an event center (mostly weddings) they also offer seasonal culinary adventures. This summer it was Fish & Chips. You had to order online and then pick-up on the picnic table outside the farmhouse kitchen. Eating on the extensive grounds was a treat in late August. The fish was tender, not greasy and a large portion. We are watching carefully for the next food adventure from Cornman Farms.

Core Life Eatery (205 N. Maple) Green bowls. Grain bowls. Broth bowls. Power Plates. Warm Rice Bowls and, of course, Create Your Own Bowl. Everything at Core Life is just so damn healthy. The surprise for many is that the dishes are also tasty, filling and come with a wide variety of sauces and veggie options.

Ann Arbor @ Curbside [July]

 



Ann Arbor is a great foodie town. In this time of Covid, we all feel the need to support struggling eateries. We chose to do our part at the curbside when possible. So here begins a somewhat belated monthly review of local restaurants we have patronized each month.

July Reviews - 6 establishments

No Thai (4 locations: S. University, S. Main, Plymouth, Kerrytown) We order from the Kerrytown store. Personally, you can't go wrong with any dish from No Thai, at least we haven't found a hole in the menu yet. As you will see in coming months, this has become a go-to for us. We do use home delivery at times, in violation of our "curbside" theme. This is definitely a nominee for our Top Ten Restaurants in Ann Arbor.

Pita King (2412 E. Stadium) Pitas, pitas and more pitas. Plus lots of other Middle Eastern delights: humus, grape leaves, falafel, mujaddara, tabouli, fattoush, shawarma, gyro and at least half a dozen variations on pitas. If you're in the mood for pita, well Duh! Pita King.

Chela's (three locations: Dexter, S. Maple, downtown [currently closed]) We are fans of both the small main store on S. Maple at Liberty and the much larger sit-down venue in Dexter. In either case, Chela's is out absolute favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Hands down tasty food. Our only objection might be that the Dexter store has a limited menu. But both have easy pick-up, we recommend curbside in Dexter and walk-in for the S. Maple locations. Another Top Ten nominee.

Olga's (3500 Washtenaw Ave.) Olga's is a long-time favorite of a dear friend. We often swing by for a pick-up order before we visit with her. The staple dish would be a gyro, except that Olga's uses a house bread that is not a pita but so much better. We'd mention the other dishes but we seldom get passed the wide variety of Olga "sandwiches."

Naked Burrito (2871 Carpenter Rd.) Do not be fooled by the name, this is much more than a burrito place. The menu starts with some tasty bowls, try the Vegan Portabello Passion. Do not try the Flamin Hot Elote unless you are a hot and spicy connoisseur and we mean hot! There are lots of tacos and burritos and quesadilla, we do wish the online menu had a more complete rundown on the various components to build our own platter. [UPDATE 10/9/2020: Naked Burrito has permanently closed. The owners will soon be opening JJ's Crab House at the same Carpenter Road location.]

Everest Sherpa (2803 Oak Valley Dr.) Tucked away in a shopping center, Everest Sherpa is a hidden wonder. Just a brilliant menu full of succulent taste treats. Don't be misled by the Oak Valley address, just head to the corner of Ann Arbor-Saline Rd. and W. Waters. We would give you a few recommendations but we've tried so many dishes and still have many more to go. Never a disappointment.
