Waterworks Bar And Grill

Decent airport bar food avoid the burgers and go for grilled chicken its actually pretty good and a nice healthy alternative to the crap chopmeat they put in burgers at these places.

Note this is 4 stars for an airport bar and place to grab something to eat before the flight...it aint the Ritz...

I had the fish dinner and a sunset wheat here a few weeks back and after maybe a hundred trips through DTW I think this is one of the worst restaurants in the airport to actually sit and eat/drink.

The Waterworks is clearly a bar first and has a very open air feel into the end of Terminal A and has a very small partition separating the seating area from the edge of a fast food dominated food court which makes it an odd location to sit and have a few adult beverages while waiting on a layover.  

If you have always wished that an airport food court should have a bar in it then walk past the dozens of better restaurant choices in DTW and hit the Waterworks.

I had a nice breakfast - 3 egg omelette here during my 4 hour stopover from 3 am to 7 am or so.  The people were nice and there was just one more person eating breakfast at that wee hour.  The breakfast lasted me all day so I will not forget this place.  I didn't get a chance to eat lunch that day as my schedule was hectic.  My next meal was dinner at 10 pm in Florida.
