Went with friends to celebrate a birthday and had a good overall experience. The sides were really good, especially the yams and mac and cheese. The fried green tomatoes with the sauce were delicious. The chicken itself was mid, and the gravy needed a bit more love and flavor. The lavender lemon drop was definitely a highlight.

The red velvet cake was not it, though.

Service by Chyna was great, even while they were busy, which we really appreciated. The music was a bit loud, but overall it was a nice spot for a celebration.

We had an after work team dinner at Fixin’s and it was a resplendent, Engineered to AMAZE experience! While the vibe is cool, the service and the food were over the top. Our server took time to explain the foods, sides, etc. We were interested in sampling sides so everything was arranged so we could pass them around almost family style. I went with fried chicken and the pieces were HUGE! The seasoning and crisp on the chicken was perfect, and the chicken was nice and moist. The collard greens were amazing as well, but we also tried nearly all the others. Oh and you can’t go wrong with the fried deviled eggs! The only disappointment? Didn’t save room for dessert!

We visited Fixins Soul Kitchen Detroit while in the city over the Thanksgiving holiday, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we sat down, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming—exactly the kind of hospitality you hope for with soul food.

The fried chicken and waffles were the standout for me. The chicken was perfectly seasoned with a crisp, golden crust and juicy meat inside, paired beautifully with fluffy waffles that struck the right balance between sweet and savory.

Absolute comfort food perfection.
The fried deviled eggs were rich and indulgent, with a creamy filling and a crispy exterior that added great texture. The fried catfish bites were light, flaky, and well-seasoned—no heaviness, just clean, soulful flavor. The shrimp and grits were smooth and comforting, with tender shrimp and deeply flavored grits that felt both hearty and refined.

The sides were just as impressive. The collard greens were slow-cooked, savory, and full of depth, while the black-eyed peas were tender, earthy, and perfectly seasoned—classic soul food done right.
One final note: the hot sauce is incredible and absolutely worth buying to take home. It packs flavor, not just heat.

Everything about this visit—from the food to the service—was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Detroit.

Highly recommend Fixins Soul Kitchen if you’re looking for authentic, elevated soul food done with care and pride.

YUM YUM YUM! Cannot recommend this place enough. We went for dinner. Started with the artichoke dip and then had the 2 pieces meal with okra, and greens. Absolutely incredible. Everything was seasoned impeccably, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced. Also loved the adult blue Kool aid drink! 100% will be back. I would absolutely recommend getting a reservation tho, there is quite the wait if you don’t and for good reason!

This is a fairly new restaurant of about 1 1/2 years old. We tried this place because it was soul food. The place was very clean and the service was impeccable. For my meal I had the fried chicken which was crispy and super moist. I had the collard greens and they were the best I have had. I also tried the charred okra. Wasn’t sure what to think at first but it was excellent. For an appetizer we got deep fried devil eggs. The first time I have had them and will get them again. Then we tried the fried green tomatoes. They were good just not my favorite. My wife had the fried fish which was exceptional also. My brother in law had the smothered porkchop and it was very good. A touch dry on the inside but chops always are. The corn bread was excellent. Will be going again as there wasn’t a bad thing on the menu. So many more things to try.

The food was very delicious. We went before a Pistons game, so the resturant was not busy/crowded. Our waitress was nice, friendly, and offered good suggestions when it was time to order the food. I had the 2 piece chicken meal with the 2 sides. I would suggest this place if you want authentic soul food!!!

I got invited to eat some soul food ( which I have never had before ) When you walk in the restaurant is so clean and nice. The vibe is relaxing and quiet. All the servers was very friendly and polite. The waitress helped me pick my drink and I was impressed with how it looked and taste. I ordered the fried devil eggs and I’m gonna tell you, those were so good
I highly recommend them for you to try. I ordered the oxtail meal and it came with 2 sides but I ordered 3 sides because I couldn’t make a decision on just 2. The Oxtail was on a bed of rice with gravy and that was sooo good
My sides was Mac and cheese ( was good ), collard greens ( amazing ), yams ( fantastic ), charred ocra ( which I didn’t like. It tasted burnt ). I ordered dessert to go of course which was peach cobbler and that was Ok. I would go back to try more of the menu. I gave a 4 because of the ocra and cobbler

My experience at Fixins Soul Kitchen in Detroit was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm, welcoming, and intentional. The restaurant is Black-owned, beautifully rooted in culture, and the cuisine was outstanding.

The food came out hot, fresh, delicious, and right on time, which I truly appreciated — especially since I had two young kids with me. Everyone we encountered, from the manager to the entire staff, was incredibly helpful, caring, and patient with us.

Our waiter, Danyelle, was absolutely exceptional. She took the time to share the history, culture, and story behind the restaurant and its owner, and she was such a joy to talk to. You could really feel her pride and passion. The manager also made rounds, checking on tables and genuinely asking about our experience, which meant a lot.

This was my very first time visiting Detroit (I’m from Chicago), and the hospitality made us feel right at home — warm, cozy, and welcomed. I originally came in for a work conference, but I’m so glad I decided to stay a little longer and experience this restaurant.

I truly can’t wait to come back to Detroit and explore more of the city — and Fixins will definitely be at the top of my list. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

I was just here this past Sunday and Fixins was delicious! The atmosphere and black representation in the restaurant was very nice, and I wish I had time to walk around and really see it all inside. I was pleased with the service and it wasn’t super busy despite there being a Detroit Lions game occurring at the same time. I ordered the red beans&rice, macaroni and cheese and the chicken tenders and a cornbread muffin. My food was good and the service was actually pretty quick. The only thing I will say is perhaps a little less breading on the chicken and everything kind of had a slight ‘kick’ to it but it wasn’t bad nor did it turn me away from wanting to finish my food. That cornbread muffin was one of the best I’ve had and my friend let me try some of her deviled eggs and that was actually my first time having a deviled egg and it was fried. I loved it! Never take those off the menu! Props to whoever made the kool-aid because that was off the chain, it was well balanced and not too sweet. Also I want to mention that the prices are fair. Kara was our waitress and she did a lovely job serving our small table. I will definitely be back to Fixins and I would definitely recommend it to others!

Fixins is a beautiful, immersive celebration of Black culture — from the food to the music to the energy. Located in the heart of downtown Detroit’s vibrant city scene, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the service is excellent, and the food is absolutely top-tier.
And please… do yourself a favor and order the red Kool-Aid with your plate. Trust me.
