I had a great first time visit today! I ordered the Chk'n Fried Wild Mushroom sandwich and the buffalo cauliflower wings. Also a mango and turmeric kambucha. Everything was really good. The service was excellent too. The decor was equally amazing, especially the plants! Thank you to the Detroit Filling Station staff!

Food was great! Had sweet potato and chickpea tacos with I think a chipotle mayo, Chk'n fried tofu with cashew nacho cheese, and a chocolate brownie! Pic doesn't do it justice, everything was super flavorful! I had it delivered to my hotel since I'm traveling so I can't speak on the atmosphere.

Detroit Street Filling Station is an absolute gem in Ann Arbor! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and full of character. The historic gas station-turned-restaurant has a unique charm that blends vintage vibes with a modern, plant-based twist. We started with the appetizer special, and it was beautifully presented and packed with flavor—every bite was fresh and creative. For the main course, we had the [insert dish if you’d like to personalize], and it was hands down one of the best vegan meals we’ve had. You can really tell they care about quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Even if you’re not vegan, the food here will blow you away. Service was equally impressive. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and checked in just the right amount. You could tell the whole team took pride in what they were doing. Overall, Detroit Street Filling Station offers not just a meal, but a memorable experience. Highly recommend for date nights, casual lunches, or introducing someone to how delicious plant-based food can be. We’ll definitely be back!

So I’ve been to the Detroit street Filling Station probably half a dozen times over the past 4 years , but waited to do a review until now. This place is a wonderfully cheery and uplifting place to dine. No meats on the menu, but that’s not a hindrance. The food is tasty and wonderful! Within walking distance to the Ark, an added bonus if you’re going there for a concert! They also serve beer and cocktails, so no issues there. Highly recommended!

We had a positive experience here. The place is small, and the reception area is just a tiny table—I almost thought we entered the wrong door! They have a nice patio, and the food is flavorful. We ordered the Mac N Cheese (pictured), Tater Tots, and a Banh Mi sandwich (pictured), and everything was delicious. The service was also fast. Just a heads-up: it's next to a farmers market, so parking can be an issue.

We had a positive experience dining at Detroit Street Filing Station, where we ordered Fried Rice (with General Tso Cauliflower) and PowerUp Bowl. Both items were delicious and specifically the fried rice. Would definitely recommend to Vegan / vegetarian lovers.

This was my first time here and I was nervous because im a big meat eater most of the time but was willing to try something new. The atmosphere is great, I love the inside or outside option. The patio has plants and flowers everywhere and the staff was so attentive. You scan a QR code on the table and order online. The food came our really fast, was correct as ordered and then my water was filled, boxes were brought and dishes were removed in an attentive manner. The pad Tai was very savory and a filling amount. The raspberry chocolate cake was delicious. I will definitely come back.
