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.

Food and Service were excellent. We went for lunch on a Wednesday, and it was crowded, Glad we had an Open Table reservation. My wife had the Grilled Shrimp appetizer as her main and I got the Diavola Pizza (No. 8) as my main. They were both great and large enough for us to both have a meal for take home. We finished up with the Pumpkin Gelato as perfect desert for this time of year. Our Server, Katherine F, was outstanding.

Enjoyed our meals but have never had chicken piccatta without angel head pasta or chicken marsala without mashed potatoes - veggies served were brussel sprouts al dente - my hubby hates. Soup and salad amazing. Shared a piece of carrot cake - generous, yummy portion - 1/2 taken home Love the bread and butter. Service was great!
