Great food and great atmosphere. There was more food than I expected and I’m so glad that I stopped by. I got the chicken fried chicken and gravy and everything was cooked wonderfully. Large portions of potatoes and chicken with 2 eggs cooked your way. There is a wonderful flavor of Mexican background without any spice, so don’t worry about that and all at a wonderful price. 10/10 will be back when we are in the area next year. Wonderful job.
I went here on a Friday night. The staff was great and the food came out relative quick. I ordered fish tacos and buffalo wings. I can say it’s only ok. The food was nothing special. It’s a cool place to eat, other than that, not much to it.
OWL has a relatively small and simple menu but that allows them to do an excellent job with everything on it. Great food, decent prices and friendly staff. The only drawback is seating is very limited but if you can time your visit between the rush hours, it ought to be a good experience for you.
Used to love their chicken fried chicken sandwich but the portions have shrunk significantly as of late. Still one of the better places for tacos in the area
WATERMELON JUICE BABY yea this my favorite spot. I love it so much I could eat it everyday. No cap
Would definitely eat here again great prices and fast service I got a bacon burger only to find out they use habanaro bacon which was a little too much for me they were super kind and understanding about the mix up and the replacement was absolutely delicious.
The avocado toast is mushy guacamole on bread browned on the grill. The bread tasted like rancid oil. The avocado was wet and soggy. For $9 a fresh avocado on actual toast would be better value.
Get the cilantro and potatoes. Best bang for buck. Tastes amazing.
Cool lil spot. Grabbed a quick meal. Grilled chicken sandwich, cheese burger, shared a steak fry and a cinnamon roll with my daughter and a couple fruity drinks. Decent price. Portion sizes okay. Pretty popular with the locals. Sorry for not posting photos. I might return but its not on my side of town.
Great Mexican style food! Reminds me a diner that should be on that show Diners Drive ins and dives!
I have not had a bad experience yet and dont think I ever will. This place is definitely in my top 5. Too much positive things to type...trust....just go there. And whats amazing...they stay open very late.
Such good food!Today I got the nachos and they are so delish! Cheese and beans is on the side so you add as you and your chips dont get soggy! Genius!
I fell in love with this venue. The staff is accommodating. Very organized! Definitely a place to get all you need for a wedding in one place. LOVE IT!
Not only is the food 10/10, but Paul was so sweet and exceeded our expectations for what the diner is. He served us table side and was super sweet and professional.Also very knowledgeable about the menu
Nachos are so good. Macha is also the best.
Chillaquiles. Its the best thing that can be done with tortilla chips. Ill fight you on that one. And O.W.L makes one of the best plates Ive ever had.
Currently been on hold for over 25 minutes. Calling bc the online ordering system is down. It always seems to be a hassle ordering online or over the phone. Plus the hours are all mixed up. Google says 12 am, the OWL website says 11:30 pm. I miss when they used to open all night, the old owl will be missed greatly. I think it’s time for a break from OWL. I would recommend just driving there if you have the same troubles I do. Otherwise the food is great.
Preferential treatment, food not bad. My daughter and I rode our bikes there today. I went inside to order. The women who took our order was super nice. However, it went down hill from there. I let her know that we wanted to eat outside. She said I’ll give you a to go bag. I didn’t think anything of it. She put our food in black bag, with no napkins. No problem, I sent my daughter in to get some napkins. A couple came in and also ordered and requested to sit outside. My daughter and noticed that the couple received the customary service. Their food was served on trays, complete with napkins and water. The woman who served them came to check on the couple multiple times asking if the food was good and if they needed anything else. The woman who served looked over at us and I thought she would at least ask if we liked the food or if we would like anything else- she said not a word. I was very disappointed . My friend spoke highly of this place, but unfortunately I probably will not be coming back.
Since it first opened, Ive never not been impressed with what Ive gotten from OWL. Whether its an egg sandwich, tacos, a burger, or anything else from their menu, Ive always enjoyed it. Most recently I got the chicken fried chicken with scrambled eggs, cilantro potatoes and peas, and some habanero bacon. I got it as a carryout order and made two meals of it, along with the Texas toast. Flavorful, high quality food in a cool and unique spot on Woodward.
Always busy for a reason. Order ahead and you wont be disappointed. Food is amazing and very different from the norm.
Absolutely the best Mexican restaurant around. It is a small, quaint building. Not a lot of seating. Worth the wait. They are open 24 hours six days a week. Sunday, they close earlier. The tacos are absolutely phenomenal! Everything that comes out of that kitchen is five stars. I am blown away with the quality, and taste of their food. The service is amazing. The staff is very kind. FIVE STARS!
The food is great for breakfast and comfort. Three environment feels like a new age retro diner with a alternative modern feel to it. The menu is simple, and its really hard to go wrong with any order. Reasonable pricing. Great place to stop by.
First time ever going here and it was so good! Glad my bf brought me here. I had a piece of bfs chicken: Good. I ordered the Mahi Mahi tacos: Slapped! The pineapple juice: 🔥! Fries were hot. I was pleased.
I had a weird day and ordered OWL twice in the same day. I had the double nacho and the daily taco. Awesome place. I look forward to returning.
Love this place! The cilantro potatoes and the nachos are my fav! Unique dishes. Glad it’s close to home. Very small space but the staff is very friendly and fast. Highly recommend giving it a try.
Food was great! Pretty trendy little Mexican spot. Different tacos every day. The chicken fried chicken is my favorite
Top quality food and very fast service for a Saturday at midnight. Everything was of the best quality and prepared perfectly.
Little pricey, but hey what isnt now a days! Very good food and staff! Fast service, little area inside and outside to eat. I definitely recommend it!
Macha wings are delicious! So are cilantro potatoes and you can never go wrong with the tacos of the day!!
They are the best tacos Ive had in a long time made me happy inside, ill update as I taste more menu items ...the cashier lady was nice aswell
$$$ The most addicting burgers! Im obsessed with their garlic aoli! However, consistency seems to be an issue on food & the order in general. In the 12 times Ive been there, 11 times the order was wrong. They are way to expensive to have these issues. Must try their watermelon drink! Its delicious!
The wings couldve used a bit more seasoning. I like my food a little on the spicy side. Quality was fine.
Legit Diner to go for a quick bite and to people watch!! Really tasty food and great service!
Fried chicken breakfast sandwich and chili cheese steak fries were both really tasty. Saturday night at midnight was pretty busy.
Had breakfast here and it was excellent. Fast food, great service, lovely people. Chorizo claps hard.
Great food, but your definitely pay for it. If you are looking for a Value breakfast, this isnt for you. If you are looking for a high quality breakfast and/or Tacos quickly, OWL is definitely for you.Their menu is also great for when you are buzzed or hungover!
Love their bacon cheese burgerMahi tacos were very good as well
I LOOOOVE OWL! They easily have one of my favorite burgers in the city and don’t get me started on the grilled cinnamon rolls!!! Their service is fast, efficient and convenient! No matter the hour I can get some of my favorite food and with friendly service. Highly recommended 10 out of 10!!!
Great service from the moment we walked in! I asked what came on the Double Layer Nacho and by the way the cashier took a deep breath, I could tell there was going to be a lot of toppings, and she rattles of all these toppings in one breath. I mean she nailed it! Im like, SOLD! They have these juices, I had to try them all!
Great place for after party! Food is fantastic
Ordered nachos without Pico or peppers. So of course it came with both. SMH.
We absolutely love this place!....My favorite is the wings with dry rub!What ever your choice, you can’t go wrong here.
This place is a one of a kind! Tacos are incredible. Lots of sides and delicious breakfast options.. Burgers are excellent as well. Found this place by chance a couple years ago and now we make a point to stop here when in the area.
Overall a mediocre carryout experience. I got there about 8 minutes after my food was done. The fries tasted like they were made an hour previously. The chicken fried chicken was a decent chicken sandwich. Nothing to write home about. I would bet that dining in is a better experience based on other reviews. I can only review based on my personal experience.
O.W.L. is the best! The ambience, the charm, the staff, the menu, the food, the prices - theres a reason theyre always busy! Definitely worth checking out if youre in the area.
One of the best Mexican(and some fusion) food we have had in Detroit metro area. But oh wow the food was so good. Try chilaquilles- loaded nachos. The nachos were fresh and oh so good. And the chicken soup was full of flavors. Even the chicken wings were right on point. Loved loved loved the food.beat part is it is 24 hr diner themed. That leaves less seating and parking but I am ok with that. Definitely on our frequent visit list.
Ive read plenty of reviews about this place, I will be direct. Limited kitchen space, limited menu, limited seating.Easy, do the things you do, well, no flair required. I was a little concerned by the amount of Michael Jackson music playing & the guy with the man bun & a beard, whom I knew couldnt change a flat tire. Ignoring the obvious distractions I ordered the Nachos & a habanero bacon cheese burger, reviews had guided me to these. No fan fare, simply served as if you were at a food truck.Absolutely delicious! The burger blew me away because it actually tasted as good as advertised, damn good.I was the only caucasian in my predominantly Mexican neighborhood, southern California, near the Mojave desert for almost 10 years back in the day. I promise you, those nachos were the bomb! I absolutely added the sausage chili, are you kidding me! With shaved radishes! I seriously havent had anything like that since the 90s.All that being said, thank you! I was in town from Upstate NY visiting a friend, I will be back next time to order exactly the same thing!
Great 24 hour place for anytime eats. Good price and food comes out quick. Was impressed that I received my order within minutes on a busy Friday night. Had the chicken fried chicken breakfast, the sopa de pollo, chilaquiles, and my wife had the nachos. The cucumber lime drink was easily one of the most refreshing drinks Ive had.
Arrived around 3am keyshon and kasean were the cooks on the clock. It was my first time visiting and decided to try a few things (pictured) and I have to say everything was absolutely delicious. They did a great job and were friendly and extremely helpful at helping me pick out exactly what I wanted to try out. For starters the soup was so flavorful and would of been a great hangover recovery soup had I been drinking but I was sober and it was great. Then the chilaquiles were so good nothing needed to be added as far as flavor they were perfect. I did try all 3 home made salsas and they all had great flavor as well. My favorite was (Arbol) being the hottest available and it had a great flavor. Then came the breakfast plate. The bacon was coocked to perfection. The potatoes were great the homemade blackberry spread was great on the toast as well. Overall this place is a must try. Totally worth the visit and open 24 hours so you never have to wonder if they are open on not. Will come back very soon.
Nice small place to eat. Service was friendly and the food was done quickly.
Great service and great food. The sopa de pollo was amazing!
Taste like authentic Mexican food which means its good.
Had the shredded beef tacos of the day. Street style tacos, very tasty.
Awesome spot for breakfast and Mexican food! Seriously so good
Great place for great food anytime of the day or night. Kind of a Mexican/American brunch spot thats open 24/7. Never had anything bad from there. it is small tho, 2 small 4 person tables and about 20 stools at 2 counters. so if you are planning on sitting down with more than 1 or 2 people at anytime time between 6am and 9pm, Id plan on a wait or just get a carry out. But the food does come out quickly so seats empty rather quickly most of the time, but as I said, sitting more than 2 ppl together can be tough. But it is def worth trying out. Chicken fried chicken and chorizo hash are top notch. Also, the cinnamon rolls hot off the flat top are great, if you have room! Also suggest you try the soup and/or the chili and the tacos
Wonderful sandwich and juice options, cute diner style counter. The cashier was funny and funky.
Goottttaaaa get the wings!! The dry rub is OUTSTANDING!! And the ranch is outta this world. Nachos and Tacos are delicious too! The hours are a bit variable but def worth swinging by
We tried the Torta ahogada and is delicious!I’m taking off 1 star because we decided to have our breakfast outside at one of the two tables they have outside and the table was dirty.
The food is exceptional and very reasonable. They also have fresh squeezed juices. Highly recommend .
A popular diner. Nothing fancy. Just good food.
No counter seating (covid) but seating opposite counter. Daily Tacos menu opposite door with menu to scan. Menu also available on blackboard high on back wall. 4 available juices in addition to fridge options. Order to the far right, pick up order to the left of the menu.Food is DELICIOUS. Breakfast makes me want to come back to try the tacos.
2019-1: Tasty tacos and friendly service! They were busy late on a Friday night, but service was quick and I found a seat pretty easily. Staff were also happy to practice Spanish with me - fun! 4/5.2019-11 update: had the double layer nachos tonight, and they were delicious! Service again was solid. Cool spot. 5/5.
I’ve never had bad food from this spot. The burger easily became one of my favorites in the entire area. The fries are excellent and nicely seasoned. The nachos are incredible and were my favorite menu item until I tried the burger. Prices can be a bit high, but the food is so good that it’s worth it.
Chicken burrito was delish! Burger and curly fries were wonderful, too! Looking forward to many more meals here.
Good foodNot a lot of seating to dine n tho🤷♂️
The burger is good, but I order so infrequently from here that I always forget the fries are whatever. But whats really driving this review is my confusion as to why any restaurant in the metro detroit area would offer chili fries with beans in the chili, bunch of savages. I didnt even open the container once I saw it in there. I get that theyre going for a house made from scratch approach but beanless chili is the only chili for fries, Im looking for a dipping sauce, not an entire chunky meal.
Food is very good if not a little expensive. I’ve only eaten here for lunch and it’s been slow when ordering online. I suggest calling in your order instead.
Classic spot with classic and unique options. I recommend their nachos
Really good food, fresh and quick. Recommend the avocado toast and fried chicken egg sandwich. Clean trendy establishment
Super weird because the food looks good and the environment and staff vibe but 3 trips and im just really underwhelmed by the foods flavors. Maybe lack of seasoning? All I know is it really has not been worth the price yet. Wont come back again honestly but I like the thought of their menu items and place maybe staff will come and go and things will change
This restaurant was on my Bucket list and the food choices were tasty!
Omg! Delicious! Try the chicken and Gravy with potatoes!
