Subway #68066 - Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport DTW

CLOSED July(?), 2025

Terminal A

Visited October 1, 2018

If the candidate fogs a mirror, hire. These workers are not happy campers and the owner's actions translates to indifference as long as the bread keeps rolling in.  The owner relies on name recognition and the comparative low prices to bring in the captive travelers.  

It's standard Subway fare but below the freshness available at many other Subways. 

Popeyes #10917 - Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport DTW

CLOSED early(?) 2025

Terminal A  

Visited May 26, 2017

This one is busy with travelers.  

Three Piece Spicy Chicken Meal.  It is spot on what I have come to expect of Popeyes except that one of the pieces had some killer heat. The Rice and Beans side appears to be more refried beans but the taste is Cajun.

The attitude?  The owner doesn't care as long as the money keeps coming in.

It's late in the evening and this restaurant remains open.

Musashi Japanese Cuisine - Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport DTW

CLOSED Mid (?) 2014

Concourse A

I had to watch the time closely.  Musashi was open and no one else was around so I stopped here, wondering why there was no line to fight.

Fuddruckers - Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport DTW

CLOSED late (?) 2016

Fuddruckers located in Terminal B with a limited restaurant selection was an easy choice as it had been over a decade since I had a Fuddruckers burger. My impression then was that it was a great burger. Point to the slab of meat you want behind the display case. They grind it for you and 15 minutes later, they bring it to your table. Go to the condiment bar and top it the way you like.

Charleys Philly Steaks - Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport DTW

CLOSED 2015?

Abbreviated layover time precluded a sit down meal so I stopped at Charley's for a Philadelphia Cheesesteak sandwich. It was made to order and better than anticipated but the call of the jet required wolfing it down. As much as I hate to admit it, Charleys Philly pleased my palate more than the self proclaimed king Pat's King of Steak.

Sora Japanese Cuisine & Sushi Bar - Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport DTW

 

Terminal A

Asian customers packed in imparted a belief of turnover and confidence to order raw. I settled on the Great Lake Roll ($18.00) comprising of tuna (raw), white tuna (raw), salmon (raw), cucumber, green bean, avocado, cucumber, topped with masago.
