It was the 1930s and Six Mile and Conant was like any street corner in Detroit… people walking to the market, neighbors helping neighbors, and friends meeting at the local gathering spot now known as Buddy’s. Buddy’s existed as a “blind pig,” skirting the State and Federal laws that governed the on-site sale and usage of alcohol. Booze was available there. The owner at the time was August “Gus” Guerra.

    This was one of our best dining experience. Everything was absolutely perfect. We were celebrating our anniversary and the restaurant made sure to acknowledge it. The food was outstanding. My husband said the lamb ragu was in the top five best meals he has ever eaten. Our server Lauren was so sweet and attentive. They ended the meal with complimentary chocolate covered strawberries. We are so happy we chose Brick and Brine. Thank you for making everything wonderful.

    It’s a great buffet for a hotel, having an omelette station, waffle station and probably the best sausage gravy I’ve had in Kazoo.
