Customer Reviews

What a cool spot- Lived in AA for nearly three years and only discovered this spot after moving away and revisiting. It’s super cool. The courtyard at the back is like something out of a small New England town, maybe even Europe. The system of ordering and having your order called out on a loud speaker was pretty unique, and the overall ambiance was incredibly lively. This spot had a bit of that pre-modernized authentic Ann Arbor feel, before all the chains and big businesses took over. The food was decent too and drinks were perfectly crisp. Highly recommmend a visit.

A mandatory stop when visiting Ann Arbor. Great food and ambience, extremely affordable. We spent around $140 for a party of 6, including drinks and tips. The sangria is a must-have!

One of Ann Arbor's oldest continually running locales and underappreciated gem. I would definitely contact them for reservations if you're with a large group, but otherwise this is a truly peaceful charming space. People of all ages and backgrounds are warmly welcomed, just read the signs, follow their instructions for how to order and pick up your food and beverages and lean in to the experience. My folks have been coming here since the late 70s, early 80s, and we are so glad that this gem is still around. My secret tip? Don't pass on the food - the prices are super affordable and the portions are huge. Plus the food good.

As a visitor to Ann Arbor I was taken here by friends. I found it amazing! It’s exactly the kind of American college town place we all know and love. We all have a Dominick’s of our own and coming here brought back all those feelings of good times.

I’ve been to Dom’s quite a few times this past year and all I can say is that that is a great place. The sangria is amazing. The food tastes very good. I would recommend to go with your group of friends and seat in the back patio.
