I like to tell people that the best restaurant in Ann Arbor is actually in Ypsilanti! Bellflower is a gem of a restaurant whose base flavors come from cajun and creole cooking, but whose chef-driven menu changes daily (check Insta for the latest menu). I'm always surprised and delighted by what arrives to the table. Takes walk-ins.

For a great steak, look no further than Knights! They have two locations - the downtown location is modern and refined, while the Dexter location is the original and wonderfully kitschy with its wood paneling. In both places, you can find their famously stiff drinks, superb steaks grilled to order, and lots of other options as well. Reservations recommended.
