Joe Louis Southern Kitchen celebrated a grand opening for its second location, with a third set for early next year.
The boxing-themed brunch spot, named after the great Joe Louis and led by his son Joe Louis Barrow II, opened its doors in November at 29649 Northwestern Hwy., Southfield. It held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
“My father’s legacy is so strong throughout Detroit and the surrounding communities, we’re excited to feature commemorative items for purchase at our checkout counter — offering people the chance to take home a piece of that legacy after sharing a delicious meal together,” Barrow said. “Patrons who come to our new restaurant in Southfield will truly experience the spirit of Joe Louis while they’re here and it’s inspiring to be the one sharing that with the world.”
The menu features scrambles, skillets, omelets, sandwiches, and other breakfast-style options.
The 5,300-square-foot space seats about 99 diners and staffs 35, the company says.
The new location even has a gift shop offering Joe Louis merch, a first for the brand.
“It’s been wonderful to see firsthand how our restaurants resonate with guests,” said Johnny Cannon, co-CEO of Joe Louis Southern Kitchen along with Barrow. “Our original location in Detroit has grown to be a staple of the community and we know those in Southfield will enjoy our unique dining experience centered around family, friends, comfort and connection.”
The chain opened its first location at 6549 Woodward Ave. in the North End area in 2021. A third Joe Louis Southern Kitchen is planned for downtown Detroit and expected to open in April.
