Rating Summary
-By Marie Stumphauzer, FNTP
With its award-winning reputation and recognition by USA Today and prominent local publications for the best breakfast in Metro-Detroit, a dear family friend recommended Recipes for a brunch visit. I was happy to have the opportunity to spend an afternoon there with some of my favorite people and am delighted to share the experience.
The Troy, Michigan location (where we dined) will be celebrating 20 years in business in January ‘23 and is one of three locations in the greater Detroit area. They boast outstanding hospitality and live up to their claim with thoughtful and efficient service. Our server was kind and was so adept at meeting our needs, we hardly knew she was filling our coffee cups (again). The support staff was equally proficient, seamlessly managing the full house and table turnover without rushing patrons.
Recipes prides themselves on using the freshest ingredients and celebrating a unique blend of American, Asian, and Spanish influences for a refreshing approach to day fare. Unfortunately, the potatoes in at least one dish didn’t have that handcrafted taste and the protein in the meals ordered was a bit scant. Most of the fresh fruit was picture perfect, though, and the seasonings of just about everything else was spot on.
Components in many standard breakfast and lunch foods are rather obvious making it fairly easy to vet in the context of dietary considerations. However, none of the choices on the extensive bill of fare were courtesy marked with common dietary symbols and no comments regarding substitutions were noted. I did find out, after spending additional time on their website, that there is a brief vegan list online but no indication was made while dining. I recognize it is always up to the customer to notify their server and ask about preparation but it makes the process of ordering so much smoother when there are visuals or guidelines readily available. It is also a sign that the facility is sensitive, receptive, and willing to accommodate people who have dietary challenges.
Kid friendly provisions makes it a great place for the whole family, including my favorite: paper table cloths and crayons. Provided you can nimbly navigate menu descriptions with a seasoned eye, you can look forward to a streamlined dining experience, novel combinations, reasonable price points, and excellent customer service at Recipes.
