About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Fancy
The Detroit Cowboy is a bold collaboration between Kid Rock & Joe Vicari, pairing the culinary legacy of Joe Muer Seafood—a brand originally founded in 1929—with the unapologetic energy of one of America's most recognizable entertainers. With The Detroit Cowboy launching in 2025, Vicari and Rock bring together fine dining, raw energy, and a cultural collision between Motor City grit and Music City soul.

The Detroit Cowboy is all about high-quality eats with a high-energy edge. You'll find prime steaks & sustainable seafood artfully prepared by Executive Chef Marino Bianchi & a wine list orchestrated by Napa Valley native & sommelier Scott Herrmann, along with a robust lineup of cocktails & ice-cold beer.

You'll dine surrounded by Kid Rock's personal memorabilia, stories from the road, and gifts from music legends—from Johnny Cash to Dolly Parton, Eminem to Bob Seger, and even a few of his Motown heroes. It's a crash
course in American music history with a side of killer surf & turf.

    Overall had a nice evening. Food was good with the exception of the Caesar Salad which seemed old with little taste. We dressed up, but do not need to as the restaurant is allowing shorts, ball caps, tee shirts. One gentleman had his baseball cap on backwards and another looked like he just got his fishing boat. Took a bit away from the occasion as the website suggests smart casual. Service was very good, Sid was great and attentive. For two people, two drinks each and with our tip our bill came close to $500 which we felt was a bit much. You would think the restaurant would comp the Valet, but they do not. Valet cost $15, but discovered free parking nearby.

    Detroit Cowboy offers amazing food, atmosphere and hospitality! The food was fantastic as well as the service. We enjoyed an early Father's Day dinner with friends and were not disappointed! Make sure you make room for dessert! The Sea Food and Steals were fabulous! The most fun was the true Nashville atmosphere with Kid Rock's memorabilia. We will definitely be back!
    The Detroit CowboyResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you, Heidi, for sharing such a wonderful review! We are thrilled your Father’s Day dinner was a success and that the atmosphere, especially the Kid Rock memorabilia, made the experience memorable. It’s great to hear our team made your visit special and that you appreciated the amenities. We hope next time you’ll get a chance to chat with Kid Rock, as he was spending time with family on Sunday. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another fantastic meal and fun evening!
