I’ve been coming here for over 25 years! Excellent food and service everytime. We like to start off with some flaming cheese, a Greek salad, and pita bread followed by the chicken dinner! Make sure to ask for extra brown sauce! To cap off a perfect meal, I highly recommend the custard desserts!!!

I took a chance tonight and after searching online for a new place to eat out, I came across Auburn Cafe in Ecorse. My wife seemed nervous as I did not let her know what I had chose, just that we had not been there before. What a hidden Gem – I would highly recommend you give this place a try. As it was Friday, we were looking for Seafood. (Bonus 1/2 off second Seafood Entre with purchase of another on Friday Evenings). I had the Salmon, My Wife enjoyed the Orange Roughy. Both were cooked to perfection, we didn’t leave any to waste and the portions were generous. We also shared a Greek Salad, and Lemon Potatoes. Impressed with everything. I almost hate to make this recommendation in fear that too many people will find out about this great restaurant in the Ecorse, MI area. A++++ in my book. P.S. Our waitress Audrie exceeded our expectations with some of the best hospitality I’ve experienced – even brought us a surprise dessert. Thank you all again for the great dining experience.

Okay, very unassuming place. In a very unassuming location, but once inside you are greeted by a very friendly host and sat according to your needs. Yeah a little older inside than some people may like, but once you are greeted by the waitstaff and shown great customer service you know you are in for a treat. The food was fantastic. Me and my wife got the couples dinner, and they accommodated us because we do not drink with a substitution of another appetizer. So I got the lamb chops and she got the salmon. Salads(greek), soups(lemon rice), garlic sauce and the saganaki was excellent. The Greek dressing had to be home made and the feta cheese was fresh and not overwhelming. Potatoes was good also. Please come and see for yourself, I do not think you will be disappointed.

Waiter was very nice young man, on top of it. Waitress was very good but she rushed what you were trying to say and cutting you offering to guess what your were going to saying. (A bit annoying) But she was attentive and on top of it. We dined in and got carry out. Potatoes ships kabob were good as well

Wow! You don’t have to go downtown to get great Greek food. I really liked the eggplant appetizer, lemon potatoes and grape leaves. It gets really busy here at lunchtime so come when it opens if you can or a little bit after noon. I couldn’t get a parking spot and had to park on the street. It wasn’t a big problem but if you can avoid it, I’d recommend it.

I’ve been eating here for much of my adult life and will truly miss it when I move. The food is consistently great. The lambchops and tomato salad are my favorites. Ask for the brown sauce for the meats. The staff feels like family.

Everything was great except for the fact that I couldn’t have any french fries not rice. My chicken kebab was very tasty. The service was outstanding.

I’m from the downriver area been here for 23 years. I have never heard of this restaurant. I am an avid fan of Pegasus both downtown Detroit and St Clair Shores. We decided to try this location out since we read the reviews. Not impressed. Waitress was rude no personality. Atmosphere average. Bathroom not so nice.
