If you are anything like me, you will appreciate this guide for budget-friendly restaurants in Detroit, Michigan; Fuddrucker's is a franchise, so they can be seen in most cities. This guide will benefit you, if you are looking to enjoy a good meal, wish to drive a short distance in metro Detroit, and save money.
When family and friends are looking for me, they usually know that I am at Fairlane. Local Detroiters call the entire shopping area by that name because of Fairlane Mall. And, I'm sure many of you know that malls have shopping, eating, and entertainment throughout it's corridors. At Fairlane Mall, Detroiters also enjoy going to the movie theater, and other dine-in' restaurants outside the mall, but in the same area. My favorite to stop in, and enjoy a budget-friendly meal is Fuddruckers at Fairlane Mall. This Fuddruckers offer a $5 meal, consisting of a burger and fries. And, if you wish to add a drink other than the usual soft drink, iced tea, lemonade or water, you can purchase a drink from the bar. My favorite drink, which I've deemed to be "Qwen's Delight" is less than $5. So, I can slide into Fuddruckers while doing my shopping, and come out full on all ends without spending over $20!
A favorite for me and my co-workers is Cass Cafe, located in the Wayne State University area, and home of the $1 beer. Cass Cafe is my first stop when I schedule interviews for work, and my interviewees have all given the place a thumbs up'. For a party of three adults, a complete meal with drinks included was less than $25. Cass Cafe is located in a well-known area, being in the school district. Be aware that there will be many students of Wayne State University filling the place, especially on the weekends.
Now, I've shared places to go for lunch and dinner that are budget-friendly. As my last budget-friendly restaurant in Detroit, I would like to share a place where you can enjoy budget-friendly meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or in between. Normally, my assistant and I go to Royal Grille Coney Island for breakfast. Coney Island restaurants are a fixture in Detroit, and surrounding areas, and you can find one on almost every corner; coney islands are sorely missed when I travel sometimes. Not many places around the U.S.A. where you can get a hot dog, topped with coney sauce for 99 cents. I can get my usual 8 cups of coffee and a sausage, cheese breakfast sandwich, on an English muffin for less than $4! Royal Grille is conveniently located near I-96 Jeffries freeway, on Livernois and Grand River. They have three ways to serve you: dine-in, carry-out, an drive-thru.
So, if you are ever in 'the neighborhood', these are my top three choices when I'm looking to fill both, my belly and my pockets! And there are many restaurants in your city or town that offer the best bargains for a good meal, anyday, I'm sure. It would be nice if we had more large food chains and franchises to specialize in 'bargain dining'.
