Mac's Acadian Seafood Grill
It's a hidden little place where the locals like to go. On the way to the track from the Ann Arbor area it's in the small town of Saline, Michigan. There isn't much signage so keep your eye out for it.
Mac's has gourmet seafood in a casual setting at reasonable prices. I'm telling you, this place is awesome. Wood grilled fish... how can you go wrong?

Angelo's
This is your Ann Arbor spot for breakfast! It's a popular place for the Wolverine students and locals alike. Fresh baked breads make the lunch sandwiches a treat, but its the french toast, egg specials and waffles that make me go mmmm.

Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Brecon Grille
Another good spot in the little town of Saline, Michigan. This one is more traditional fare... burgers and sandwiches highlight the menu of this English-style bar and grill. They are well known for their seafood chowder as well.

Sidetrack
In a small little downtown village of Ypsilanti, Michigan sites a pretty darn cool spot. Friend of Speedeats, NASCAR.com's Justin Oppman, showed us "Sidetrack." Located across the street from a Hudson car museum, Sidetrack is now one of our favorite spots. Who can beat their burgers, sweet potato fries and creative menu? The burgers are handcrafted and delicious. They have a great beer selection as well. We suggest sitting outside in their unique ivy covered patio that gives you a great view of the museum and street.
