The Clique Restaurant on E. Jefferson Avenue in Detroit is one of those greasy spoon diners that locals know about and well, if you hang around long enough, someone will let you know about its diner cup of Joe, eggs, toast and hashbrowns. They also do a mean corned beef hash with green peppers and onions and around you while you sit and take in the calories and the butter, you can take in the autographs of Detroit’s movers and shakers.
Here’s a sample of the menu, but to give you a summary, you can get a burger with melted cheese for a wopping $4.25 (no urban city center prices here), corned beef & swiss on rye and cold meatloaf, both for $5.00.
A Coney Island Hot Dog is only $4.25 and a grilled cheese sandwich is $2.95. Next time in Detroit….meander down to E. Jefferson Avenue for your midwest greasy spoon experience.
