Here’s Another Contender for Best Michigan Diner

There’s just something magical about a classic American diner—the cozy atmosphere, the massive menu, and those scratch-made dishes that make you feel right at home.

Many across Michigan have received national recognition, like Fleetwood Diner, which has been named the state's number one diner multiple times. Also the 76th Street Truck Stop Diner in Byron Center has received high praise.

Now, a new contender is taking the spotlight. According to Chowhound, one Michigan diner stands out as “hands-down” the best in the state. The publication looked at social media buzz, online reviews, and shout-outs from both local and national media to make their pick.

And the honor goes to…Dime Store in Detroit.

Dime Store has quickly become a favorite for locals and visitors alike, with locations in Downtown Detroit and Rochester Hills. The restaurant was founded by three friends who wanted a brunch spot that actually cared about the food—no shortcuts, no pretense, just thoughtful, made-from-scratch dishes in a casual, welcoming setting.

As the owners like to say, it’s all about great food, strong coffee, and a bar that’s ready to kick your brunch up a notch.

On the menu you'll find inventive creations like the Reuben Omelet and Double Rainbow Waffle, which is made with Fruity Pebbles and cereal whipped cream. Additional brunch items include benedicts, biscuits and gravy, Brioche French Toast, and hash dishes.

Chowhound is quick to point out that while the restaurant gets lots of love for its brunch, its lunch is equally good. .Choose from sandwiches, burgers, salads, soup, and French Fry feasts like the Spicy Korean Fries, which are smothered in house-made Korean BBQ sauce, siracha mayo, pickled veggies, and shaved ribeye.
