Steak, cocktails, and a speakeasy vibe make this a top spot
"A well-regarded New American restaurant credited among the city’s contemporary spots to feature steak tartare as part of its refined menu." - Danny Palumbo
"A Brush Park favorite, Grey Ghost is known for its cocktails, butchered cuts of meat, and seasonal food and drink menu. The whimsical approach showcases oysters “Chicago-style,” with bright green relish, pickle mustard seeds, and tomato. Oh, and let’s not forget that burger, which is getting its own spinoff in Ferndale. Reservations can be made on Resy." - Courtney Burk
"Whether it’s a dry-aged steak or a patty, Grey Ghost’s kitchen has a way with beef. This burger is definitely a step up from the typical burger stand meal, but the preparation is classic with two griddle patties layered with melty slices of American cheese, chopped lettuce, and special sauce with mayonnaise and onions. Putting an egg on it takes the whole experience to another level. And if that’s not enough, a Grey Ghost spinoff called Little Ghost devoted to the beloved burger is heading to Ferndale. Make a reservation at the Brush Park spot through Resy. Vibe check: Yes, Grey Ghost offers a mighty fine burger, but it’s also an elegant spot for date nights and special occasions." - Danny Palumbo
"Known for a fan-favorite burger built with double smash patties, American cheese, a special dill sauce, shredded lettuce, and onion, this longtime Detroit-area restaurant (opened about nine years ago) consistently ranks among metro Detroit’s best burgers and has developed a devoted local following. The burger’s popularity prompted the ownership to explore expanding the concept into a more casual, accessible format, though the original spot will continue operating unchanged." - Ashok Selvam
"This New American restaurant in Brush Park takes pride in playing with classics like oysters, dry-aged New York strip steak with zip sauce, and a burger so good they’re opening a casual restaurant featuring the item. Grey Ghost’s food is rivaled by its distinctive cocktail menu the sports options like the Midnight Expresso, the restaurant’s rendition of the ever-so-trendy espresso martini with vodka, espresso, zucca, cream, and simple syrup. Thoughtful non-alcoholic options are also available for those cutting back or staying sober." - Serena Maria Daniels
