Statewide, you hsve to include Tapawingo In Ellsworth as one of the best fine dining restaurants. And the best cherry pie is at Grand Traverse Pie Co. in Traverse City (but they now have several stores around the state).
Here in the Detroit area:
Corned Beef sandwich - Star Deli in Southfield
Traditional Italian - Roma Cafe in Detroit
Southern/Soul food - Beans & Cornbread in Southfield
Thai - Rexy's in Royal Oak
Mexican - Xochimilco in Detroit

Dear Cliff Rock
To my mind the chicken places in Frankenmuth are tourist places, servings are hearty and family style, but the crowds and atmosphere give one a feeling of assembly line feeding. (A must visit place is Bronners, the year round Christmas ornament store.)
I like Sanford's Bar & Grill outside Midland on Highway 10 towards Clare, for great buffalo wings and other specialties.

We ate there a couple of years ago and the service was slow and the meal so so.
If you're in that part of the state, try Turkeyville off of I69 -- not very fancy (think fast food) but a great fresh turkey dinner for about $10.

Thank you. I was last there as a child in the late 70's or early 80's, and I remember the treats, and my parents liking the food, but I am never sure whether a stop now is justified.

I agree with the choices mentioned throughout this thread. I like Piper's in Brownstown for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Same people opened up a fine dining place called "The Big Bear Lodge". I still like Piper's, just ate there last week and the food is always good.
