Next to Buffalo/Niagara Falls, Detroit has quietly grown to be one of my favorite vacation spots. This makes visit number five and I have never regretted trying out the Motor City. It has its warts (like other large cities), but there are plenty of things to do here.
I lucked upon Joe Louis Southern Kitchen during my first visit. Around the corner from the hotel I was staying at and two blocks from AMTRAK, I was just curious (and hungry). I would sooner call this a breakfast spot as it is open between 8-4.
Joe Louis' is a small restaurant, but with a warm atmosphere. It highlights the career of the former champ and also plays music from Detroit's famous.

Breakfast biscuit-9.2 Well baked biscuit (touch of honey), with bacon, scrambled egg and American cheese
Cheesy grits-8.8 Well cooked, but I prefer plain grits with no cheese. Cheddar cheese can be bitter. I didn't see an option for plain grits.
Chicken wings-9 Well seasoned and they were regular sized wings.
(Just added) Fried catfish-9.5 I went back and ordered the catfish and it was near perfectly prepared
Atmosphere-10 Joe Louis' is a small restaurant, but they play non-stop Detroit music and show Joe Louis highlights on the monitor.
Service-9
Overall grade-9.3
