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.

    Everything was wonderful with two exceptions: 1) smell of weed was overwhelming as I and my guests entered the building . 2) waitress did not inform guests that there was 20% gratuity already included, this some of us overpaid as we split the bill evenly. She let folks add another tip without saying anything and it wasn’t caught until the 3rd person was about to pay.

    Everything was perfect. Running behind because of accident on 75 South. The reception we received at check in was great. No attitude, everyone very pleasant! Our waitress was very professional and went above and beyond to make our dinner enjoyable ! Even one of the bus boys went out of his way to get us a tooth pick. Only unpleasantry of the evening was the loss!!! We will return! Thank you for a memorable night !!!
