Food
Voted on of the best places to eat in Detroit by Eater Detroit.
Only a 15 minute drive and totally worth the trip.
Sweet potato ice cream, chicken and sweet potato waffles, sweet potato cookies and cornbread — Sweet Potato Sensations does it all, working hard to preserve the legacy of George Washington Carver. Headed to the Old Redford neighborhood bakery? Try the pie first. Etta Mae’s salmon croquettes, the Jive Turkey sandwich, and the black-eyed pea and collard green soup are tasty, too.

Jamaican Pot
~ 10 minutes
Good things come in small packages, like the city’s best jerk chicken served up in a strip mall off Eight Mile. While the Jamaican Pot is exclusively carryout, expect to wait a bit while the busy kitchen carefully prepares each order of curry goat and pepper steak. The jerk chicken is made with flame grilled chicken that’s seasoned with a blend of island spices. To drink, cool down that heat with a bottle of Kola Champagne or keep that spice going with a ginger beer. Call ahead for faster pick-up or place an order online.
