• American • Novi

It was the 1930s and Six Mile and Conant was like any street corner in Detroit… people walking to the market, neighbors helping neighbors, and friends meeting at the local gathering spot now known as Buddy’s. Buddy’s existed as a “blind pig,” skirting the State and Federal laws that governed the on-site sale and usage of alcohol. Booze was available there. The owner at the time was August “Gus” Guerra.

Excellent Thanksgiving dinner. The 3 of us had regular turkey dinner, duck, and salmon and all were excellent. . Best French opinion soup. Split the cheesecake, key lime pie, and crème brûlée all were excellent but crème brûlée was my favorite. Katie P provided excellent service. Highly recommend!
