Steve's Famous Catfish Dinner
Whole catfish crusted in seasoned cornmeal and fried to golden perfection. Served with your choice of two homemade sides, warm cornbread and a fresh lemon wedge. It's the plate we're known for — and the one you'll dream about later.

Best soul food in Detroit hands down. The rib tips are life-changing and the mac & cheese is the real deal. Been coming here for 8 years and it never misses.
Sweet potato pie tastes just like my grandma's. Portions are HUGE, staff treats you like family. Sunday dinner here is a Detroit tradition for us now.
First time trying real soul food and Steve's did not disappoint. The catfish was crispy on the outside, flaky inside. Coming back for the peach cobbler alone.
