Reviews for The Fly Trap a Finer Diner in Ferndale, MI
From the original owners to Matt now, I don?t think I?ve ever been disappointed here. The fried potatoes are always delicious.... They have specials weekly. BLAT+C, crab cakes and eggs, huevos rancheros, definitely some classics and great! Servers are alwaysnice even if they?re busy. Read more
My bf suggested this place as he heard that it was a pretty good place to eat at. I visit Detroit every other month so we try to... hit new restaurants every time I visit. We walk into this place and aren?t greeted by anyone. We walk out to go back in to checkthis place off our bucket list and are finally greeted that we can sit anywhere we would like. There were like 4 customers inthe restaurant but it took someone several minutes to come to us. We ordered shortly and our food didn?t take too long to comeout. I ordered the forager which had no ?mmmmm delicious? moment. It honestly was bland?from the eggs to the potatoes. They gaveus some homemade jam and hot sauces to add but those all had a weird taste to it. The forager is a meal I could simply make athome (which was mushrooms, carmalized onions, spinach, cheese and eggs) served with some fried potatoes and sourdough toast. Mybf ordered crab cakes and eggs. It too came with fried potatoes and eggs. He also agreed his meal was under seasoned. Notsomewhere we would revisit. Just not enough humph for us. Read more
It had been years since I visited Flytrap. Really glad I stopped back in today. Everything is just as I remembered, if not... better. The Gingerbread waffle with apples, cherries, & cinnamon maple syrup is absolutely wonderful. It works even in thesummer heat. My favorite menu item, though, is the Fire Breathing Dragon with tofu. I add fresh jalapeños and a lot of theirhouse hot sauces to ramp up the heat. The noodles are served cold & the tofu is grilled. I love the different temperatures andtextures. The service is exceptional, too. Read more
The best brunch in the area. Had a very nice meeting here over some bloody Mary?s and hash. The portion was large. The... service was exceptional. Be sure to ask to try the hot sauces and the new homemade jam! Read more
I got the fire breathing dragon. It was okay but a little misleading. The noodles are cold but I thought they were supposed to... be hot when I ordered. The creamy cold noodles was an odd mix but the sauce and chicken were good. Definitely would trysomething else if I went back. Read more

Great diner! We walked in Saturday morning around between 10 and 11, to a full house! But the wait wasn't long at all! The... service was wonderful! And the food was delicious! I got the B.L.A.T.+C, and would definitely get it again! Bloody Mary's we'regood too, but do know the not spicy one is spicy too. Read more
Literally the best food I've had in a very long time!! Our server, Carolynne, was also noticeably one of the kindest people I've... had the ability to meet in a long time. Our food was amazing, the atmosphere was friendly and comfortable, and the service atthis diner was top-notch. Sad I don't live nearby so I can't go here as often as I'd like!! Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone(also lots of veg friendly options). Read more
