Good drinks & next to the ballpark! Awesome!
The bar is right across from Comerica park which made it a great place to go before the baseball game. The outdoor patio is very roomy with lots of seats and standing space. Quality of the drinks was great for the price. The inside seating is small, but on a nice day youll definitely want to be outside!
Stopped here before a Tigers game. They opened a bit earlier than their posted hours. Staff was friendly and checked on our table regularly. My Classic Grilled Cheese w/fries was incredibly tasty. The basil leaves were a nice touch and the rye bread was great. The fries were seasoned and delicious. Even came with a slice of watermelon on the side. Clean inside and the bathroom was very clean. Its pricey but not that bad considering it is wedged between 2 major league ballparks. I always stop here when I head to games.
On a recommendation from a tour guide we decided to try this place. Its a bar food type place wedged between Comerica field and Ford field. So GREAT location. Had a brew and a cheesesteak. Boom good. Were also had quesadillas that was very good. Service was awesome. Waitress was super friendly and very warm. Love having this type of service. Will be back. Great job and give that woman a raise
Terrible place. Went here twice for Lions games. Service was awful. Food choices stunk. They kick all patrons out at halftime. The folks inside were overly drunk, obnoxious, and aggressive. Its too bad because its a classic art deco dinner that was rescued from the wrecking ball and moved to what you would think is a sweet location. Id really like to give them my business but I just cant risk another horrendous experience like the last two. Extremely disappointing!
Went there today before the Tiger game. We had a party of 7. 4 of us had burgers and fries, they ALL came out cold although the other food in our party came out fine. Our waitress needs to be trained on how to pre bus tables! Finally started clearing tables when a drink was spilled then handed me a towel and expected us to clean it up. Extremely disappointing visit! As a season ticket holder I dont know if we will be back.
First time here. It did not disappoint.
The draft beer was excellent and the foods smelled great. Service was prompt and friendly.
Great atmosphere! Full bar! Awesome food! I recommend the Philly Steak & Cheese, Black Bean Burger, or the Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich! But all menu items are delicious! They even have bacon wrapped beef dogs! Great patio, and right across from ford field, next to Tiger Stadium 😁
The Elwood is perfectly located between Ford Field and Comerica park. We just ambled up to the bar, and had our choice of over a dozen beers on tap. Servers are very friendly, and service is prompt and good, despite the crowds. There is a large gated outdoor area for folks to congregate too. Perfect stadium area bar.
It was ok, a classic but they jacked up their price for a goose and soda like they were a high class joint. Not cool.
We stopped for lunch before the Monster Energy Supercross event. They were 15 mins late opening with a full line outside of customers. But even with a packed restaurant, the food came out fast and it was excellent! I ordered the black bean burger with fries. I would absolutely come back again! The service was great and the staff handled the crowd pretty well. Did not disappoint!
Stopped in for a drink before heading to Stomp. This was the second stop on our trip. Our bartender was great. She poured a great Jameson and we had a good talk about Detroit and the area. The atmosphere was good and became really crowded with folks heading downtown to watch the games.
Had dinner here before Lions preseason game. Service was incredibly slow (they were busy, but not insanely so). Kids meals came out 20 minutes before our sandwiches, my chicken BLT was missing the avocado. Limp, mostly tasteless fries. Kids did like their grilled cheese, but for the sides, the pickle spear was laid over the watermelon slice and so the watermelon tasted like pickle lol. No refills offered on our drinks til we asked for the check, which was $55 for 2 kids meals and 2 sandwiches. Smaller glasses and everyone was out pretty early in the meal. Dont know if they were short-staffed at that time or just a mediocre restaurant, but we wont be back. Cannot beat the location right across from Ford Field, so go there if that is your most important criteria, and you dont mind lackluster food.
Iconic bar located in between Ford Field and Tiger Stadium. They have a good selection of on tap beers, but the food is a little pricey. Great place to meet up or hang out before a game.
Stopped in to kill time before a Tigers game, and had the chicken fingers w/fries. Love that they have malt vinegar for the fries, and the chicken was CRISPY, but not burned, on the outside, and soft enough to melt in your mouth, on the inside. Darlene, the bartender, was really nice. Its been years since Ive eaten here, but will be back.
Decent happy hour. Sliders are tasty, but skip the jalapeno cheddar muffins tasteless odd things. Fingerling potatoes were French fries and disappointing. Tap list is not impressive but domestics are only $3. Its a one and done for me.
Got an outside picnic table 1 hr before first pitch. Took 10 minutes to get 2 waters and 1 coke and put in order. The coke was flat and had to get another one. After 40 minutes we inquired about our order and waitress said it was 3rd inline. She said about another 15 minutes. She was very non-concerning and could care less. We said cancel the order and we would pay for the coke. She bolted to the kitchen as we waited several more minutes and as she ignored our table. I finally caught her eye across the way and said we were leaving. She said OK. Very bad service. By the way, the order was chicken fingers and a sausage sandwich.
Always a favorite place to eat. When taking in a Tigers or Lions game its the perfect spot for a quick bite and a few drinks. Top quality food and staff even during the most busiest of times.
Only had a few beers before the Tigers game. It was very busy but was served quickly. Fun atmosphere. Lots of outdoor seating.
Great service and great drinks
Venerable location right by the stadiums. Food is better than average for sure. Service can be spotty especially right before the game. Patio is nice for drink coolers on the deck.
Right between the Lions & Tigers stadiums so its a fun spot to be in. Went there before a baseball game. Location is great, food was fine - we had burgers, salad and beers. Service wasnt great, wed likely try a different place next time.
Neat little bar, great place to visit before the game. Friendly employees. Prices a little high, although not out of line for the businesses around the sports stadiums on game day.
Great ambiance and the food is awesome. the grilled cheese sandwich and fries were delicious. clean and friendly. perfect stop before a game.
This place is more for convenience of grabbing a beer and something to eat than looking for a good meal and trying craft beers. I think it has perfect location for I simple hang out before or after a game.
Great place to hang out before the Tigers and Lions games!!!
They serve a large portion of french fries that we shared. Drinks were good. Atmosphere was fun!
Great food and the atmosphere is just as classic as the place itself... a little busy on game day but well worth it.
This place has so much potential, gorgeous interior, location is ideal, food is good, clean but ... extremely high prices and consistent service issues point towards an issue with management/owner. Great place to see.
Stopped after game. Bartender was great made best Martini I have had in a long time. Cool place between stadiums.
Nice place to eat and service is good ,dont go when they have the ball game its on jam but that say a lot good service.
Another fantastic Opening Day.
Terrible service came here in a field trip and Rita was very rude. A lot of kids didnt get the correct change back. And after, all the food made our stomach hurt.
Good food, good prices. Great place to go before heading to the baseball game for a bite and a beer. Literally right across from the entrance to Comerica Park
The service is fast prices r reasonable n the drinks r well made!!it great place to grab something to eat while u running around downtown
Went there before a Tigers game and loved it. Great food and service! Got our food in less than ten minutes.
Conveniently close to Comerica Park however, the food I ordered was TERRIBLE. I would steer clear of the grilled cheese. Chicken fingers looked pretty good though.
All employees are great, I go there at least once a week if not more I view these people as friends. I work right across the street from them.Theresa Ann Comstock
The dog was very good
Kind of pricey but it’s location and proximity to Comerica Park make it that way
Iconic Detroit restaurant is a must go for all Detroiters. Perfect location for Lions and Tigers pregame or postgame.
Great time. Bartender was fantastic and the place was packed. Great guy. We walked in with 10 people...no for him.
Nice friendly place. Menu is a little small but the food is good and they are welcoming.
Marty was my server - great kid & he hustled - our table only ordered a couple pops before the game, but - we still tipped him $5!
The servers are great, food is ok, really just need umbrellas on outdoor tables and additional menu items. Menu is very small.
Great place to go before or after the game. Patio with picnic tables. Plenty of TVs and great location for Friday night fireworks.
Been coming here for years with my family. Always a good time. Good food. Great Atmosphere.
Both the classic and the veggie grilled cheese were great. And the service was friendly and fast.
Great old dinner and bar for pre game festivities when you go to down town Detroit. Its right by Ford Field and Comerica Park.
A great option to get a well-made meal and good service. Like a classic environment and it is very pleasant.
For as busy as this place is on game day, service is pretty good and all are friendly. Food is great
Great Service , Nice place to have a few drinks and food before the baseball games
Thanks so much Dar and Rita for keeping Darrolds family objects that wouldnt pass thru security at the Detroit Tigers Game.... you are life savers..
I love the Elwood! Tried one of their new sandwiches and it was great. Love the location next to Comerica Park.
Great food good drinks excellent service and a plus wont break the bank
Ive been here two days in a row. The food and service were amazing. 😎😎😀😀😀😀❤
The food took forever and the waitress was very rude. We talked about how rude she was and then a different waitress yelled from across the room how we had said that she was mean.
Great burger. Always like going in for a burger and craft brew draft before a BB game.
Great place to go before the Tigers and Lions game. Which happen to be right in front of both fields
Great pre game spot if youre headed to a game in Detroit. Cheap beer & good people. SKOL

No food was available after paying $10.00 to get in and had a lowsy Coors beer.
Waited 45 minutes for hot dogs. We had to leave and cancel our order.

2022-04-23The best burger I’ve had in years! And the waiter was extremely nice! Will definitely be back again!

2022-05-13Went before a tigers game for a quick dinner and drinks. The waitress went MIA for 40 minutes and we were unable to pay. Got in late to the game and she didn’t even give us a pen to write the tip down for the cards. She was a mess, but the food and drinks were good and worth getting before a baseball game.

2019-03-10First off.... wow this place has changed and hasnt changed a lot in the past 30 years. We stopped in to kill an hour while waiting to get into the Monsterjam pit party at Ford Field. The place was packed with folks of the same mindset. Service was great, food was great, really glad to see the Elwood stood the test of time and evolved to benefit from the Detroit revival.My favorite part of my visit was seeing the (manager) mistake a customer for a vagrant, asking him to vacate the establishment, the struggle is real and its nice to see some things never change.... for the record, I too would have made the assumption, she was very apologetic to the gent.
