It was the 1930s and Six Mile and Conant was like any street corner in Detroit… people walking to the market, neighbors helping neighbors, and friends meeting at the local gathering spot now known as Buddy’s. Buddy’s existed as a “blind pig,” skirting the State and Federal laws that governed the on-site sale and usage of alcohol. Booze was available there. The owner at the time was August “Gus” Guerra.

    Had an absolutely amazing meal. Our server was attentive and very courteous. They had a Thanksgiving dinner available or their traditional Italian fare. Both were delightful. Will definitely do this again next year. Thank you for making it a beautiful meal to remember with my family.

    This is a fav spot for dinner and happy hour for us. We love everything on the menu and the happy hour prices are terrific. The hospitality is always on point and Karen is the best…ask for her in Open Table, btw. Last night we had the eggplant lasagna and it might be our new go-to plate. The owner is happy to drop by your table to check on things and make your party feel welcome. The prices and location are ideal for your next date night or group gathering.
