Let me start by saying I wish I was having lunch here right now! My wife and I called in a carryout order while visiting the Atwater Brewery nearby. The food was incredibly good (I especially loved the catfish nuggets), and the staff was very welcoming and friendly as I waited to pick up my order. Next time I'm in Detroit I'd really like to go back and dine in, and maybe even check out some live music here.

Been here twice. Once for a co-worker and then today scouting for Xmas Party places for the company. Prices are average to high. But food is good. I found nothing I wanted on the menu tho, but ended up getting the trio with Catfish Nuggets, They Say Wings, and Chicken Quesadillas. And an order of fries. It's 13 bucks. Server was quick and nice enough. Best thing was the wings and the quesadilla. Although I enjoyed the fries which are similar to rallys fries with that coating. I'd come again, I enjoy the atmosphere.

They Say was a great experience. Staff was attentive and food was great! Especially the wings!!!
(5)Regretta R.
Great food great service. The best coke slaw I have every had. The waitresses were wonderful and patient. If I lived in Detroit this would be my favorite place to eat. As a matter of fact I think I will drive back just to eat here. Met the managers and owner great people!!

They say....SAY WHAT? They say....SAY WHAT???? Ugh..it was so loud in here today....I felt like I was intruding on some big party or something.... Yelpers are right...the service here is not good.... Our guy...Larry maybe (couldn't hear anything) was inattentive to say the least. It took a long time to get our burgers too... We got here around 12:45...took about 5 minutes to get ole Lar to come see us...so we ordered our drinks and burgers and we waited...and waited, and waited, and it was hard to talk because it was so loud..but finally...our burgers came...and Larry left....not before I asked him where my shoestring onions for my burger were... He looked at me like..."Oh you wanted those"? Gurrrllll! Uh yeah Larry...I did... He brought them right to me..but then he was gone...gone gone gone...I had to flag another server for a drink refill.... Alas Larry returned, and said, "Y'all ready for your bill"? Hahah..well I guess so buddy... Sure, everything was good...thanks for asking....(p.s. he didn't ask, I'm just making a funny here..) The burger was okay...nothing, say an Applebees or Chilis couldn't do...and there was absolutely nothing else on the menu that will have me wanting to return anytime...ever... It's basically a chain restaurant trying to be something betta...but it ain't happenin... Honestly, you can do a lot better in the area...so DO IT!
(2)Jasmine G.
Terrible! Terrible!! Terrible!!! Our waitress was provided the worst service ever. If Katrinna is your waitress be prepared to wait five minutes and 40 minutes or more for your food. She stood over of me while I signed the receipt...Needless to say she got no tip. I tipped the nice guy waiter since he was more interested in providing service to our table. OH the food. They Say wings were just okay, mediocre. Fried shrimps a bit doughy but had good flavor. Flood's has better fried shrimp. Lamb chops were dry and fried entirely to hard. I'll never come back to this restaurant again.

I'm changing my tune about They Say because the last time a friend and I went to pick up carryout, we were COMPLETELY IGNORED for about 5 minutes until we addressed the host directly. Even though we had been there several times (we work across the street) she obviously didn't want to speak to us. She then proceeded to walk away never to return. After 10 more minutes, we planted ourselves at the bar hoping to get service there. Not so much. The bartender looked right at us and it was only after we told her what we needed without being asked that she went to retrieve our food from the kitchen. Really? I mean, it's carryout. You grab a bag and hand it over. Unacceptable. I got a very negative feeling from the staff for no apparent reason, and I will NOT be returning, despite the decent food. My friend and I are "less melanated" people, and I got the feeling that this was the reason for our mistreatment. They've never been this rude before, and my only explanation is that we were with "more melanated" people those times. Listen. Perhaps many whities can be jerks, but we are not them. We tip well. We smile and ask nicely. Perhaps we had to pay that day for all the mistreatment that had come before us from other "less melanated" patrons, and I get it, but this will be the last time we go there. That's a lot of dollars lost from the ladies who lunch right across the street.

Great atmosphere and the service was awesome - very attentive! The steak bites were delicious!
(5)Chaunda L.
We were warned that the food would be good but the service would not be. We literally had the worst server today. It took her 20 minutes to greet our table and an additional 10 minutes to return with our drinks. We arrived at 12 noon and didn't leave until 2 thats beyond ridiculous. It wasn't even busy. The food was good but I don't think I'll return anytime soon.
(1)JaMalle F.
The food was good. They definitely gave large servings. Our server was excellent at entertaining us with conversation. She was super cool. The jazzy theme was also really cool. Even better was the music! It was really difficult to seat a table of 9, so if you have large parties, this might not be the place for you. Also, the server was hesitant to split tabs, but eventually did anyway. It was confusing. Overall, the staff seemed nice and willing to work with us. I would definitely come back!
(3)Janis S.
We were at belle isle trying to figure out a place to get food with our toddler when we found they say on yelp. Although it he yelp info said not a good place for kids we decided to try it anyways. They in fact aren't bad for kids and even had a kids menu section. I opted for the catfish, my wife for the lobster mac and cheese and the house salad. Got the kids burger and fries for the kid. The food came fast, service was great, and the food was delicious. The kids meal even came with ice cream!

They Say is a great spot for whatever kind of night you're looking to have. It can be perfect for a meal with a group of friends, a fun and flirty date night, or just chilling and having a drink by yourself. Good food, trendy urban atmosphere, hot R&B music on the speakers (sometimes a live band), and either dressed up or casual you'll fit in fine. The service can be slow, but the food makes up for it. It's off of Jefferson, close enough to downtown to be a perfect start or end to a night on the town, but far away from the hustle and bustle that you won't have to fight for parking.
(4)Veda S.
Anytime I'm in Detroit I have to stop by and get my they say wings!!! Super friendly people... Speedy service and delicious food... What more can you ask for
(5)Shannon U.
I am actually pretty surprised by all the good reviews of this place, considering my recent experience there. That is until I got to the bottom of the review list and saw that someone else had almost the same bad experience that my group did. It would seem that They Say is the place to be if you have a party of four or fewer. Anything larger than that and the service completely breaks down. My walking group (of eight) and I decided to stop in in the midst of our enjoyment of the river walk. We were not greeted upon entering and were looked at in confusion by the staff, as if they didn't understand what customers were. We were finally seated and then waited about five minutes for our server, despite the restaurant being all but empty. When she did arrive at our table she brought water for us all, which would explain the delay, but then informed us that we had missed happy hour by one minute. Suffice it to say, our table was not happy with this pronouncement. Thinks seemed to go down hill from there. The server immediately asked for our order, despite not having given us much time to review the menu. I placed my order, before realizing the others weren't ready and then asked her to just give us a few minutes to review the menu. I was surprised when a relatively short time later my order was delivered, despite the fact that nobody else had even placed their food order yet. I had the uncomfortable experience of bring forced to eat alone while everyone else looked on hungrily. One of our group placed her order only to be informed that the kitchen was out of that dish. A surprising turn of events considering there was really nobody in the restaurant to have eaten through that dish. For the most part the food was good and was reasonably priced. The biggest issue came when the bill arrived. The server had apparently explained to one of our party that the bill could not be split up. (Disclaimer: I worked in the service industry for about a decade and think it is complete and utter bullsh*t when a server says that they can not split the bill. It is not a difficult thing to do when you have a computer system, which they did, and is an easy way to accommodate your customers. Any server with half a brain should be able to accommodate this request...but, I digress). The server stated that each patron who wished to pay with a credit card would have to calculate their own total and tell her what amount they wanted to include on their card. She did not explain that the gratuity had been added and that they could not just add it to their credit card as one normally would. Without getting into anymore of the annoying details I will say that it took an hour from the time all eight of us had finished eating to pay the bill and leave the restaurant. We were all extremely unhappy with the whole experience and each and every one of us vows never to set foot in this restaurant again. I was nominated to write the Yelp review on behalf of our group because I am a Yelper anyway. I hope that you take this review to heart if considering patronizing this place with a large group. If they can't handle a group of our size when the restaurant is completely dead, I can not imagine the type of service one would receive on a busy night.

Great food, great environment! Drinks are extremely reasonable with a very friendly and professional staff. Definitely a must visit.
(5)Lisa Y.
Love this place. I order ribs and let me say, they give you a whole rack for a good price. This place is hidden and parking is a little bit off to the side, but overall the place is nice and clean inside and the food is delicious. I give it a 4 because of the limited parking. Other than that, it's a great jazzy place to hang out.

Isn't it great to stumble upon the perfect bar when you're visiting an unfamiliar city? They Say was exactly the right place at the right time. Located near the Roberts Riverwalk, my husband and I were pleased to find this trendy, comfortable, affable bar close to our hotel. We enjoyed a few cocktails and dessert at a decent price. We admired the food as it came out of the kitchen and was delivered to other tables. This will be a dinner destination next time we're in town for sure. Oh yeah, it doesn't hurt that everyone in the place was well dressed and attractive. You won't be disappointed.

Can't Recommend enough. Food and service is A+

After some urban putt putt and a frigid Tashmoo session at Detroit Farm & Garden my lady friend and I were driving around looking for something indoors to do. We both had the beer shakes and were in desperate need of a direct infusion of hop water. Attempts to get into Atwater failed miserably. The next closest place was They Say. What the hell, why not right? We walked in and I met with an upscale looking place with a few people at the bar and not much else going on. They Say has got to be brand new because everything looked fresh. The bathroom was very nice with the old school tall urinals. I'm sure you care about how nice the men's room was but still I was impressed. We ordered some beer(which was stupid cheap for the look of the place) and wings. The wings were incredible. Fried just right and meaty. They came with the obligatory blue cheese and celery as well. The blue cheese was made in-house as the chunks in it were massive. Daddy like! I can't imagine I will be coming here to much in the future as I'm not in the area often but if I can I will stop in for a $2.00 beer.
(4)Willie C.
First time at They Say!!! The wings were delicious as we'll as the carrot cake. I will definitely come back again
(4)Kathryn A.
we had never heard of this place but happened to be walking by and caught the fantastic aroma of "they say" sauce. a half slab of baby backs and a rib tip dinner later we emerged happy people . btw the cole slaw was possibly the best cole slaw ever.
(5)Chris B.
Best wings ever!!!
(5)Cherice J.
They Say is a cool jazz spot downtown that is very intimate and perfect for a date. There are two floors, although the top floor is small. All weekend you can listen to some music, while also indulging in their wings (to die for) and barbecue. They also have numerous other appetizers to dine on if you decided to come through for a happy hour or such. The prices are family reasonable. You can get 18 wings for roughly $12. They also occasionally have specials on their martinis.
(4)Angel F.
I have frequented They Say on many occasions. Stopped by there after an event on Saturday night, and ordered the Lamb Chop...ummm ummmh hmmmmm!!! The best!!! Chef sure does put his foot it that one!!! Also check out that drink called "Exotic Waters" I absolutely love it! The ambiance is nice, and the wait staff is cool. I will be returning again.
(5)Brian M.
I visited the upstairs lounge for a birthday, and I was a bit surprised by the $5 cover. At any rate, it was rather cramped, and there wasn't much table seating available. The dance floor was rather small, as well. Though the bartenders do manage to provide service as promptly as possible, when I visited, the bartenders did not have enough glasses to go around. It was so bad that I couldn't even order a glass of water because there were none available. The drinks were also a little pricey, as well. Other than that, the DJ played good music and kept a lively atmosphere. Also, they had some of the best wings I've had in a long time, and they were relatively inexpensive.
(3)Nikki T.
I had the opportunity to kick it at "They Say" last night. The entire visit was totally impromptu. My BFF and I stopped in after a stroll down the river walk. It wasn't my normal cup of tea because I like to dress when I go out. T-shirts and jeans has never really seemed appropriate for when going out for an evening. My BFF was right when she said my attire was OK and boy was she right. Just about every one had on t-shirts and jeans. The DJ was OK and so the drinks were made well. We spent the majority of the evening on the outside deck which was cool. The vibe of this spot is nice. Everyone seemed to be drinking and enjoying the presence of good friends.
(3)Jasmine B.
they say was amazing the food was great the atmosphere was wonderful also... they have a little club upstairs which is also nice i would give this a 5star!!
(5)Willie S.
OMG! THEY SAY the wings are THE BOMB! ... THEY weren't lying! I must say, They-Say was a GREAT place to eat, an amazing place to chill and enjoy live entertainment and an all around great time! My wife and I decided to go with a few of our friends and see what They-Say had to offer. The place was easy to find, well kept and had a great decor! The menu was simple, but featured some GREAT choices for appetizers, entrées, drinks and desserts. From previous reviews I figured my best bet was to try the BBQ wings. And boy were they RIGHT! The wings were AMAZING! They were on the They-Say Trio appetizer, which also came with some of the BEST quesadillas and potato skins I've had in a long time! I just had to follow up those delicious wings with the BBQ Half-Chicken dinner with Mashed Potatoes and veggies! Mind you, I asked for cheese on my Mashed Potatoes and they actually gave me a GOOD AMOUNT of cheese! Most places skimp on it, or don't allow you to have it, but they didn't hold back! And the chicken was SPECTACULAR glazed in the They-Say Barbecue Sauce. We finished the meal off with some great Martini's, wine and a bread pudding that was to die for! We spent the remainder of our evening there enjoying the sounds of the live band and singer. They played some great smooth jazz and R&B songs, and really made the night special! I will definitely visit the restaurant again and next time I may even try the lounge!
(4)Montgomery J.
This was not a good place for me at all. The waitress that I had was very rude and she took a very long time to assist me, every time she came back to the table. Also it took forever for me to get my food and all I had was french fries and a side of BBQ sauce. I went on a Saturday around 6pm, it was not crowded at all. The BBQ sauce for the wings is excellent. The menu has a little bit of everything. It doesn't stick to one type of food. The art work on the wall was beautiful. The bathrooms were nice and neat. They have an upstairs but it wasn't opened. They have take out and you can call in your order. I will go back again to see if I have a different experience.
(3)Royale M.
I visted They Say at 5pm on a Tuesday evening and it was maybe four or five other couples. I with with a girlfriend and she ordered the turkey burger with sweet potato fries. I had a chance to taste both and they both were okay. The turkey burger was under seasoned and the sweet potato fries were too. The wings that I ordered (tangy something & BBQ) were great. Pretty big too. I ordered a side of french fries which were good. My friend said they were seasoned with Old Bay. They Say is a really laid back restaurant. A nice place to go on a date as it has a laid back, kind of romantic vibe. They had some other great things on the menu i would like to try. Pretty simple, but classics. I will be returning to experience some more of They Say.
(4)Michael L.
The "They Say' wings are awesome. They're the only thing I've had and I've been numerous times
(4)Caroline B.
The atmosphere was a bit loud and obnoxious, but I think only braids there was a huge birthday party. They have the best Cesar salad I've ever had. I got the new york strip steak, and asked for medium rare, but got medium/medium well. Otherwise, it was okay.
(2)Karey Q.
Really fun atmosphere! Food is so-so. Will go back for drinks and music in the future.
(3)Ryan R.
Went here before a show at Chene Park because Andrews was closed (wha?). Pleasantly surprised. Food was good and inexpensive, drinks were cold (frosted beer mugs ftw), and service was friendly. The woman tending bar worked her @$$ off. Positive experience.
(4)Tim W.
The food is good however the service does not match! They aren't expedient at all with getting your food to you (for carry out) and get kinda snarky if you make a comment regarding that issue. I work in customer service, so the staff can sometimes be a make or break when deciding to revisit. Basically, They Say needs to train their employees more in the art of hospitality! On a more positive note, the They Say wings are pretty good, along with the taco bowl when fried correctly.
(2)Justin G.
Amazing bbq and a great place to watch a game. Want great ribs, but don't feel like waiting an hour or two with l he other suburbanites? This is your place. Real detroit bbq done right. Make sure to get some wings with the "they say" sauce - so amazing.
(5)Steph W.
The food is excellent but the service is hit or miss. I love the lamb chops, the wings are covered in a delicious bbq sauce, the salads are fresh, etc. The location is great. I really like the lofty look of this restaurant. Dark with exposed brick but very modern. The bathrooms are clean and they don't have any of those annoying bathroom attendants. Downstairs is the main bar and restaurant. Upstairs is huge with a bar, lounge area, more tables, dance floor, as well as outdoor patio/terrace. They charge a cover to go upstairs. It is not worth it unless you are there to attend a private function or birthday party. Most of the guest seem to be in their middle 30s and older. The servers disappear and have to be flagged down. The bartenders are hit or miss as well. I've been at times where it's really busy and can totally understand. But I've also been when that was not the case and still had to flag someone down to be acknowledged.
(3)Shelby L.
I never made it inside because in the parking lot security threatened me. I was meeting my boyfriend across the street at his apartment to walk over. The security screamed at me, but I explained what I was doing. I came back to my car with him to grab my ID that I had left. It was then a van pulled up with the first security officer I encountered and several others. The blocked me in and got out of the car screaming "what now, bleep word". At no point did either one of sit in my car as if we were leaving. However, after this there was no way I was going to patronage such a place. I said no thank you to the business. I let them know I was going but not after this to which they responded "good!". We still live close by, but I would never tell anyone to go there because of this experience.
(2)Lawanda P.
Service is awesome!!! Had 3 different type of wings zesty....hot.....BBQ awesome as well. One of my daughters favorite place. Children always welcome and noise is at a minimum.
(5)Allyson K.
Our server was not friendly or helpful. Do not expect any vegetarian or gluten-free options.
(1)Susan E.
We went there today with a friend who recommended it for lunch. The food was absolutely excellent and the staff was friendly and attentive. They didn't have the red velvet cheesecake that was on the menu, but did have a red velvet cake. When they brought it out it was so large (5 layers!) that it fed all three of us--for $5.95. Highly recommend this place--atmosphere was upbeat, hip and modern and bathrooms were VERY clean.
(5)Hannah M.
Live right across the street and love coming in for a drink. The wings are the best I've had in the city. Great place!
(4)Zeca S.
We were visiting from Miami and stop by the Chinese Restaurant at the plaza close by... Not happy with their menu , kept searching on Yelp. They Say was very nearby and open on a Sunday 9pm. We walked in and were very welcomed by the hostess and our waitress Mecale were just sweet and helpful. Great place, great service, food was OK since I ordered pasta and were not expecting 5 star from an Italian restaurant.
(4)Doron E.
I really like the They Say wings. I go here at least twice a month for them. The other food that I've had there is OK. I do like the atmosphere there and it is a cool place to grab a drink in the evening.
(3)Meredith E.
Mid Sunday afternoon we were in the D and looking for a brew so we decided to stop in at Atwater Brewery. They looked closed. As we were heading back up Joseph Campau, we saw the sign for They Say and the lights were on. Time for some Urban Exploring! The interior was beautiful! Nice restoration and paint color selection. The bartender was really nice and attentive. The beer at the bar was way cheap. They had a decent variety (including local DBC's Alt), with the most expensive being $4 a glass. Not bad. We got the They Say Wings with They Say barbeque sauce. Delicious! The wings were very meaty and the portion size (10) was fulfilling. The huge flat screens over the bar were each showing a different NFL game. What a good place to catch a game. They Say was a great find on the perfect Sunday afternoon!
(4)Mylo R.
The food here is really good, that was a pleasant surprise. I had the baked potato, & the chicken tender salad. The chicken tenders were fresh, juicy, & well seasoned. The club upstairs wasn't my thing, but i enjoyed the downstairs atmosphere.
(4)Nikki C.
I wish I'd go to They Say more often. I mean, it always seems to be packed -- when I ride by, there are cars lining the streets and I always see people streaming in and out of there. Well, I went one day for an event held in the upstairs lounge area. But first, I sat downstairs at the bar. The bartender was nice and suggested a couple of their house specialty drinks: They Say and the Riverwalk. They were both good -- contained several different Cirocs, along with juices, etc. Catch them on a happy hour, though. Otherwise, it's going to be a bit pricy. Others at the bar ordered appetizers -- the wings looked scrumptious, the potato skins did too. They looked so good, I ordered some. They were great. My friend ordered the buffalo shrimp, which was a plentiful order, but the shrimp reminded me of the kind you can buy from the frozen food section of your local grocer and just drench in hot sauce yourself. I'd love to go back, though. The vibe in there is really chill. It's the spot where you want to just hang at the bar or go with friends and dine.
(4)Joss G.
After a night of bar-hopping, I was definitely pleased with the service! Q, the waitress who served out drinks was very pleasant and I hope to get service from her again.
