Cutter’s Bar & Grille
2638 Orleans St., Detroit; 313-393-0960; cuttersdetroit.com
After returning to metro Detroit after a stint working in the dining scene in Arizona, our Chowhound columnist Robert Stempkowski deemed this humble Eastern Market institution to be one of his top-five favorite restaurants of all
time. While some may scoff at so-called “bar food,” Stempkowski was wowed by Cutter’s “Famous” Stuffed Burgers and Steak Bites Salad, among other items, writing in his review, “Fresh-fried food, when well-executed, is worthy of Beard Award consideration, in this writer’s
opinion.” If you’ve never been or haven’t been in a while, Cutter’s is certainly worth a visit.
