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.

    Took my husband here as a treat for his birthday. Everything was outstanding. While menu prices are generally up there, we were allowed to split the 4 course tasting and that was great: neither one of us could have eaten that much solo (we were both stuffed by the time we got through it), it allowed us to try several things on the menu (which we wanted to do, because there were so many things on the menu that sounded so interesting and appealing), and we didn’t completely break the bank. Our server was wonderful - friendly, prompt and informative. Neighborhood was quiet and interesting (next Corktown if you ask me) and there was a private parking lot for the restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience!

    That was probably the last time we're going out to eat for the foreseeable future, because of the virus. We had a great time. It was my grandsons birthday and wanted to be with everyone one last time before isolating. We'll be back!
