I always eat @Charley's (Steak and cheese). Don't know why, but I love it and it's quick.

Food choices at DTW are generally poor, roughly in line with southeast Michigan's palate. There's the usual barforama (McDonald's, Burger King, etc.), and if you're looking for haute cuisine there's a Chili's Too and a Max & Ermas. There's a Mediterranean restaurant that has at-least-it-isn't-a-burger options. And if you're looking for something more or less unique to Michigan, the Coney Island has standard diner food.
The Japanese restaurant is probably the best option of the pack, but is higher end.
There's a food court with all your favorite mall outlets that you might be missing if you're connecting. It's in the center of the main concourse near the security checkpoint. It at least has a few more options.
