After reading all these awesome reviews of DISH, I'd like to give it another chance, but I don't think I will. -The dude was rude and short over the phone. - They messed up two out of three of our sandwiches and the one that was made correctly produced a big "eh." Thanks, but no thanks.

Love Dish! Everyone here is super nice. Food is great! I always get the BLT which is perfect on their farm bread. Definitely check this place out

Hands down, one of THE BEST lunches I've had in quite some time. Our office just moved to the Grosse Pointe-area, and a colleague and I passed by this cute little storefront with a colorful awning. Intrigued, we googled the name on the awning and found a menu that quite literally made out mouths water! The turkey and bacon sandwich was HEAVENLY! What ever that bread is, I have got to get some more of that! The seafood chowder (chowdah!) was hearty, but not heavy, and the linguine picatta and the mediterranean pasta had a wonderful flavor and freshness! We will definitely be back!

If you're looking fantastic carry-out this is the place. This chef (and yes, the guy in the kitchen is no ordinary cook) could be pleasing diners at any hip little restaurant in America, but he's chosen to focus on the food in the kitchen and not have to deal with B.S. in the front of the house. Thank God Dish is only a block from my house

Love the gazpacho soup! Great place to pick-up a home cooked meal. Try the chicken pot pie as well.

Dish is one of the best carry-out restaurants I have ever been to! Really all of their salads and sandwiches are great. Try the Steak and Gorgonzola Salad, Muffaletta sandwich or the Chicken Quesadilla. You will think you have died and gone to heaven! Beware - portions are large...

I suppose that this review is a little redundant, since everyone loves Dish. However, it was absolutely delicious. I even took my mother, the world's pickiest eater, there. She loved her muffaletta sandwich, much to my amazement!

Jaclyn S.
Great sandwiches. It's seriously hard to choose when there is such a unique selection. I am glad I don't work super close, however, because at $9+ a sandwich, it is not cheap. Also, don't expect to eat in. The place is very small and only has a bench. It's definitely pick up and go.

Food is always good and consistent. They always have specials that are delicious. Try the desserts! They have also catered a party for us and the food was outstanding.

Very delicious! My coworkers and I have had carry out from here many times. My personal favorite is the New Orleans pasta...It's to die for as is many of their dishes! Kudos!

First of all, what is everybody talking about? Are there two distinct restaurants both named Dish that people may be confusing for each other? Or could it be that the prior ten reviews were written by friends and family? The Dish I went to, although a small shack as shown in the picture, was nowhere as good as the raves on here. I got the Roast Chicken sandwich and while it was not bad, I would've been more satisfied at Panera, Corner Bakery or some other chain restaurant which I usually avoid in lieu eating at independently owned, private restaurants. Granted all that I got is a sandwich but I can't imagine carrying out a $20 salmon dish. But you have no choice but to carry it out if you got one of the more expensive entrees since there are NO tables at Dish. It's literally a shack with a cash register and two parking spots. I had high hopes since my experience with tiny restaurants is unusually positive, but sadly I found Dish overpriced for value and mediocre in taste.

I bought two Groupons last July based on the great reviews on Yelp. They are about to expire, so I Finally stopped in last night and picked up dinner. The place is tiny - I counted 4x8 two foot ceiling tiles (8'x16') customer area. Half of that is taken up with the counter and a drink cooler. I arrived at about 6:30 pm, and there was a constant stream of people calling and picking up orders while I waited. Half the calls seemed to for the beef stroganoff, one of the daily specials, and they were out - keep that in mind if that's what you want. They were also out of the soup of the day - creamy tomato. I ordered New Orleans pasta, tenderloin salad and five onion soup. All three came with a slice of chewy crusty bread. The pasta was rich and spicy as expected, the salad dressing was excellent and the salad was very good but the Romaine was cut and a little brown on the edges. The soup was good, with four large croutons on top. By the time I got home the bread had pretty much soaked up all of the liquid. I live in Rochester, and since there are plenty of good places to eat closer to home I wouldn't make a special trip, but if you live nearby, the food is very good. Update - I went back yesterday (1/26/11) and tried the beef stroganoff - it was delicious and outrageously rich. The beef was perfectly grilled, very tender and flavorful. Mushrooms melted in my mouth. The sauce was more creamy and buttery than sour cream-y, so not your typical stroganoff. I would definitely get it again, if just for the perfectly grilled and seasoned beef. Note that two of us split an order, and I served it with lots of whole wheat linguine to dilute the creamy (sinfully delicious) sauce. Served that way we'll get at least one more dinner for two, and maybe two more. We also had the sesame caesar salad - it was fine, and the seafood corn chowder. I expected the chowder to be creamy but it was more like a New England chowder with a broth base. My husband liked it, but I don't think I would order it again.

Remember when I said Effie of Hilton Road Cafe was the queen of desserts ( bit.ly/EWVes )? She still is, but I will have to create some sort of dessert Parliament as this establishment truly rules when it comes to the pie. I have yet to eat an actual entree at Dish, but there is no doubt in my mind that they are murderously excellent with the rest of their options. The fact that they have been in business for over 10 years is also a testament to the quality of their work. Seriously. I am eating their key lime pie as I type this and it is truly a taste to behold. So fresh. So obvious that it is made from scratch. I really hate just giving away 5-star ratings, but I would rather throw all 200lbs (+/- 5lbs) behind a great thing than a deplorable one. I will add an addendum to this review when I finally get around to ordering some of their non-dessert. For now though, NOM NOM!

I finally tried Dish after reading some great reviews and have to agree with my fellow Yelpers...amazing! Best carry-out I have ever had! I had the Beef Straganoff and Key Lime Pie and it was amazing. You cannot beat the prices for the quality of the food. I am bummed we are moving from the east side next week...I started going here too late! :(

I've made DISH part of my weekly grocery loop, which goes something like this: Trader Joe's, Kroger, (Cold Stone Creamery), and DISH. If I call DISH when I'm leaving Kroger, then by the time I get there my food is usually ready and waiting. This place makes some delicious stuff. So far, I've never gotten anything that I did not love. And, as an extra benefit, their portion sizes are huge-- I can always get 2 meals or 3 sides out of each dish. Which makes their reasonable prices even more reasonable. If you like pasta dishes, the linguine picatta and the linguine pesto are standouts. They both come vegetarian, but you can add chicken or shrimp to any pasta dish for a small extra charge. They fall down a little in the dessert game, but everyone can't be perfect at everything.

heaven between 2 multi grain slices of bread. that's what DISH is!! I have gone by this little place a bazillion times with my BF and I always say "babe I want to go there" finally he surprised me with a menu one night after a long day and treated me to the best Turkey Smoked Gouda sandwich that has ever passed through my lips!! You can't eat here matter of fact you cannot even wait inside if there are 4 people in front of you this place is so small. But let me tell you this place is like Detroit's little piece of yumminess! WOWZERS!! My BF had the Ancho Chicken quesidila and it was so crispy and fresh and saucy and cheesy. I'm losing track of what i wanted to say I'm day dreaming now of that food. OH the 5 onion soup! WHAAATTTTT!! It was perfect!!! The bred chunks were still a little hard and the cheese was melted! If I weren't in Southfield at work right now i would be placing my lunch order! Just go here. The menu is fresh and local and made to perfection and with so much love! GO NOW!!!

These folks are telling it like it is...this place has the BEST carryout ever! A bit pricey and worth every dime. Your meal is made by a CHEF honey. The sauces are always flawlessly matched, whether delicate or robust. The potato-encrusted salmon is huge and cooked perfectly every, every time. The turkey quesadillas are crispy and soft in all the right places, their pasta dishes are sublime piles o' wonder. The quiches are amazing, The soups will make you cry, I could go on. In fact, I will! The Caprice salad is heavenly, and the desserts expertly made. I love how they add little extra sides to some of the items and how they are genuinely nice, conscious folks who really care about what goes into their food, your body, and our delicate environs. BRAVO!

Because Greengo Cafe wasn't serving food (allegedly it was too hot to cook) and I had no cash for Janet's, I got a chance to try out Dish today. Serendipity. I really, really enjoyed the Mediterranean veggie sandwich on multigrain bread, and the egg sandwich got high marks. What I liked most about the Mediterranean was the interplay between the feta, hummus, and olives. So tasty. Sandwiches come with a small ramekin of macaroni salad, and a pickle. Reasonable prices. If you have lunch free in the area, stop by, please, and spread the word!

Wasn't really impressed despite the mostly positive reviews. The food seemed fresh but way over-priced for the amount you receive but worst of all we ordered Amish chicken florentine and vegetable pasta and we both had to add our own spices and olive oil to add flavor to both dishes. Very bland for whatever reason and this is coming from someone who doesn't eat table salt in any of their food. I was expecting better.

Heather R.
I love Dish. In fact I have loved Dish since the first time we met nearly a decade ago. The food can be pricey but the quality is there. I am willing to pay for quality so I am not at all upset by this. Desserts are great & I get this Turkey sandwich that I crave. It's rather rustic which seems odd since I am describing food but it is. Avacado & mayo with bacon on some farmhouse kind of bread. It's amaze anyway & when I moved back to this area this was one of my first stops. I fell in love all over again! Dish you never disappoint me!

Lindsey J.
Honestly so delicious!! Tried this place on a whim after driving past it a couple times and reading some reviews-- I will be back soon!! Our group ordered a delicious New Orleans pasta, a turkey Gouda wrap, a sesame Caesar salad and the black bean burrito- all so good! I was really impressed. Cute and family-owned little Mack ave treasure! 5 stars in my book.

Among my friends I have often been known to want to go try a variety of cultural cuisines ranging from Thai to Czech. However, sometimes I do appreciate have a sandwich. Sandwiches in my opinion are more complex than one really thinks initially. There is a difference between throwing stuff between bread and calling it a "sammich" and really making an outstanding product. A random example is matching bread to what's inside a sandwich. If you have a soft middle like Egg Salad, and a hard bread, what you get is a sandwich when bitten into has a lot of the content spill out. A lot of people don't think of this sort of thing, however, this is the type of thing which separates amateurs from professionals. The people at Dish truly fall into the latter category. Dish is what I would call "Culinary Gem" of Detroit. While unassuming on the outside, magic happens within. The inside of the store is as unassuming as the outside, it is a counter, with some drinks in a fridge towards the front. The parking lot was small, so I am not sure how it would work when more busy. However, when I went there was parking. I didn't see a card machine, but they do have one. It's not cash only. I got a "Vegetarian Mexian sandwich" (what can I say? I have a weakness for avocado in sandwiches), and a drink called "Mash" (never had it before). The sandwich. is a balance of vegetables, and a good bread which provides excellent flavor and taste. It seemed like there was real though put into what went into the sandwich to allow all of the flavors to balance each other out. I liked the drink, but they didn't make it, so it's really non sequitur. I guess the only downside of the place is that I found it hard to eat all of the sandwich before I knew when it was gone I wouldn't have anymore. Love this place.

This is yet another instance where, without the help of my fellow Yelpers, I wouldn't have picked up on this place, being a midtowner. For those of you looking for this place on the app map it didn't seem to populate a geo location so FYI, it's just south of Moross on the west side of Mack. When I walked in I was surprised by how small the place is. There's a cooler a counter and a cold display for desserts that they make in house. In fact they make everythig in house sans the bread. I was greeted right after the gentleman running the counter took a carryout order. I was surprised again to hear that they had been in business 14 years...it would seem this spot is a well kept secret judging by the limited number of reviews. I ordered a couple sandwiches...the Turkey and Bacon and the Beef Tenderloin with a bowl of their corn seafood chowder. My order came up pretty quickly I paid and rolled back to the Farmington area. The unveil was great....two beautiful sandwiches that had survived the 40 minute ride back unscathed. Each sandwich caddy with a pickle and it's own little tub of pasta salad (which is bangin' BTW...good pickles too). Both sandwiches were nicely stacked but not overly so and the ingredients were of the highest quality. The bacon on the T&B could've been a little crispier but it was my favorite of the two. The beef tenderloin melted in my mouth but I would've liked a little more of the gorgonzola spread. The rub was the bread. Mind you it's Breadsmith which I support whole heartedly as being just a solid bakery with fantastic product, but on these sandwiches it was really really really dry. I would've like a nice hearty white on them rather than what I think was a wheat. That said, had the bread been toasted or the sandwiches had more spread on them I may have enjoyed them a lot more. The chowder was good but more of a soup being really thin but with lots of good stuff in it. I had expected a creamy chowder...I should've asked. Prices here are a little high but you do get a small side and the ingredients speak for themselves, but on this initial visit I expected more after seeing the reviews. I definitely would like to try their actual entrees and I love the concept of gourmet take-out but this visit was a 3.5.

Excellent food for the price. This place is definitely a little pricey, but the quality of food is well worth it. Small carry out style place, I recommend the quesadilla (large portion) or their pasta dishes.

I really don't get the hype. Stopped by around 130pm to pick up dinner for a late night at work. I ordered the pasta putanesca hoping for a late afternoon kick. The order was ready in less than5 minutes so made to order seems a bit far-fetched. Not wanting to wait I started to dig in as soon as I got to work.... wah wah. Bland as a Ohio sunset, not a lick of spice. I had to add a tsp of red pepper just to get it started. Capers were plentiful and that was about it, no hints of anchovy or olives.

Everything I have had here has been very good. Pasta, salads and the key lime pie are our favorites. My wife works across the street they order from dish all the time. Always good. Owner is very committed to real food. I saw this on another review and will repeat it. Fast food for foodies

This is my kind of place, gourmet carry out and actually very fresh and tasty to boot. They prepare nearly everything on site (save for Breadsmiths bread) and use excellent ingredients. We faced a dilemma this NYE as my husband had to get up for work at 8 am today, wretched when your body is used to working the night shift. We wanted, ok needed, to stay in but I did not want to cook. Shocking, I know. I wanted something a bit special to celebrate and we wanted to try something different. Hello Dish. We could relax and enjoy ourselves being romantic and quiet at home. No drunks, no rush and we got to enjoy good jazz music we picked ourselves. They had an extra special NYE menu and we ordered ahead off it, picked our stuff up and we were good to go. I have to say they have really delicious lobster bisque. Creamy, rich and yummy. We started with that and were already impressed. As for entrees, my husband picked the filet mignon with the green peppercorn sauce, gratin potatoes, manchego cheese and asparagus. I got the baked alaskan halibut with citrus beurre blanc, served with steamed new potatoes and hericots vert with lemon zest. James and I traded green veggies as he is not an asparagus fan at all while I, of course, am. For dessert we split a flourless chocolate cake with chocolate ganache that was amazing and very tasty vanilla bean creme brulee. I liked having both, as the chocolate was very intense and the cream brulee complimented it with its creamy rich vanilla punch. I can't wait to do it again sometime. The prices were not outrageous for the special food and I saw they had some very reasonable regular items too. Easy peasy and wow, so delicious.

If you have a soft middle like Egg Salad, and a hard bread, what you get is a sandwich when bitten into has a lot of the content spill out. A lot of people don't think of this sort of thing, however, this is the type of thing which separates amateurs from professionals. The people at Dish truly fall into the latter category. Dish is what I would call "Culinary Gem" of Detroit. While unassuming on the outside, magic happens within. The inside of the store is as unassuming as the outside, it is a counter, with some drinks in a fridge towards the front. The parking lot was small, so I am not sure how it would work when more busy. However, when I went there was parking. I didn't see a card machine, but they do have one. It's not cash only. I got a "Vegetarian Mexian sandwich" (what can I say? I have a weakness for avocado in sandwiches), and a drink called "Mash" (never had it before). The sandwich. is a balance of vegetables, and a good bread which provides excellent flavor and taste. It seemed like there was real though put into what went into the sandwich to allow all of the flavors to balance each other out. I liked the drink, but they didn't make it, so it's really non sequitur. I guess the only downside of the place is that I found it hard to eat all of the sandwich before I knew when it was gone I wouldn't have anymore. Love this place.

This is yet another instance where, without the help of my fellow Yelpers, I wouldn't have picked up on this place, being a midtowner. For those of you looking for this place on the app map it didn't seem to populate a geo location so FYI, it's just south of Moross on the west side of Mack. When I walked in I was surprised by how small the place is. There's a cooler a counter and a cold display for desserts that they make in house. In fact they make everythig in house sans the bread. I was greeted right after the gentleman running the counter took a carryout order. I was surprised again to hear that they had been in business 14 years...it would seem this spot is a well kept secret judging by the limited number of reviews. I ordered a couple sandwiches...the Turkey and Bacon and the Beef Tenderloin with a bowl of their corn seafood chowder. My order came up pretty quickly I paid and rolled back to the Farmington area. The unveil was great....two beautiful sandwiches that had survived the 40 minute ride back unscathed. Each sandwich caddy with a pickle and it's own little tub of pasta salad (which is bangin' BTW...good pickles too). Both sandwiches were nicely stacked but not overly so and the ingredients were of the highest quality. The bacon on the T&B could've been a little crispier but it was my favorite of the two. The beef tenderloin melted in my mouth but I would've liked a little more of the gorgonzola spread. The rub was the bread. Mind you it's Breadsmith which I support whole heartedly as being just a solid bakery with fantastic product, but on these sandwiches it was really really really dry. I would've like a nice hearty white on them rather than what I think was a wheat. That said, had the bread been toasted or the sandwiches had more spread on them I may have enjoyed them a lot more. The chowder was good but more of a soup being really thin but with lots of good stuff in it. I had expected a creamy chowder...I should've asked. Prices here are a little high but you do get a small side and the ingredients speak for themselves, but on this initial visit I expected more after seeing the reviews. I definitely would like to try their actual entrees and I love the concept of gourmet take-out but this visit was a 3.5.

The beef stroganoff is one of my favorites and my family likes the egg sandwich ALL desserts are amazing! the all natural root beer they sell is a must with all meals and I also recommend the Hungarian Mushroom Soup, and the Maurice salad is better than Macys!

Excellent food for the price. This place is definitely a little pricey, but the quality of food is well worth it. Small carry out style place, I recommend the quesadilla (large portion) or their pasta dishes.

I really don't get the hype. Stopped by around 130pm to pick up dinner for a late night at work. I ordered the pasta putanesca hoping for a late afternoon kick. The order was ready in less than5 minutes so made to order seems a bit far-fetched. Not wanting to wait I started to dig in as soon as I got to work.... wah wah. Bland as a Ohio sunset, not a lick of spice. I had to add a tsp of red pepper just to get it started. Capers were plentiful and that was about it, no hints of anchovy or olives.

Everything I have had here has been very good. Pasta, salads and the key lime pie are our favorites. My wife works across the street they order from dish all the time. Always good. Owner is very committed to real food. I saw this on another review and will repeat it. Fast food for foodies

This is my kind of place, gourmet carry out and actually very fresh and tasty to boot. They prepare nearly everything on site (save for Breadsmiths bread) and use excellent ingredients. We faced a dilemma this NYE as my husband had to get up for work at 8 am today, wretched when your body is used to working the night shift. We wanted, ok needed, to stay in but I did not want to cook. Shocking, I know. I wanted something a bit special to celebrate and we wanted to try something different. Hello Dish. We could relax and enjoy ourselves being romantic and quiet at home. No drunks, no rush and we got to enjoy good jazz music we picked ourselves. They had an extra special NYE menu and we ordered ahead off it, picked our stuff up and we were good to go. I have to say they have really delicious lobster bisque. Creamy, rich and yummy. We started with that and were already impressed. As for entrees, my husband picked the filet mignon with the green peppercorn sauce, gratin potatoes, manchego cheese and asparagus. I got the baked alaskan halibut with citrus beurre blanc, served with steamed new potatoes and hericots vert with lemon zest. James and I traded green veggies as he is not an asparagus fan at all while I, of course, am. For dessert we split a flourless chocolate cake with chocolate ganache that was amazing and very tasty vanilla bean creme brulee. I liked having both, as the chocolate was very intense and the cream brulee complimented it with its creamy rich vanilla punch. I can't wait to do it again sometime. The prices were not outrageous for the special food and I saw they had some very reasonable regular items too. Easy peasy and wow, so delicious.
