After years success operating their Detroit 75 Kitchen as a food truck and pop-up, brothers Mike and Ahmad Nassar are opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant.
Detroit 75 Kitchen is set to open Friday, Feb. 20 at 32275 Stephenson Hwy., Madison Heights.
The building was the former home to the Madison Club Bar & Grill.
According to a press release, the development cost around $1.5 million and will employ 25 workers.
Detroit 75 Kitchen describes the new restaurant as having a “retro-diner aesthetic” with mid-century style and tabletops made from recycled Faygo bottle caps. A patio is expected to open this spring.
“Madison Heights is exactly where we want to be,” Ahmad said in a statement. “We started by feeding truck drivers — people who want real food at a fair price. We’re not trying to be a destination restaurant where you visit once for Instagram. We want to be the place you stop for lunch, on your way home from work, where you know the staff and they know your order. That’s what a neighborhood sandwich shop should be.”
Detroit 75 Kitchen first launched in 2014 as a food truck at the brothers’ family’s truck stop near Detroit’s Ambassador Bridge.
The restaurant serves up sandwiches named after local roads and communities, like the I-75 Chicken Shawarma and the Corktown BBQ Beef.
