MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. – Detroit 75 Kitchen, the popular food truck, is opening its first dine-in location in Oakland County this week.
The new dine-in location, at 32275 Stephenson Highway, officially opens on Friday, Feb. 20, according to a release.
Chef Mike and his brother, Ahmad Nassar, launched Detroit 75 Kitchen from a food trailer parked at their family’s truck stop on Fort Street near the Ambassador Bridge. Originally focused on feeding truck drivers and nearby workers, the operation quickly gained a following.
The brothers later tested demand with a pop-up at the former Sears Auto Center near Oakland Mall. After seeing strong community support, they decided to open a permanent restaurant in Madison Heights.
“Madison Heights is exactly where we want to be,” said Ahmad Nassar, co-owner of Detroit 75 Kitchen. “We started by feeding truck drivers—people who want real food at a fair price. We’re not trying to be a destination restaurant where you visit once for Instagram. We want to be the place you stop for lunch, on your way home from work, where you know the staff and they know your order. That’s what a neighborhood sandwich shop should be.”
The new restaurant represents a $1.5 million investment and will employ 25 full-time team members.
The space features a bright retro-diner design with terrazzo-style floors, mid-century-inspired finishes and unique touches like recycled Faygo pop bottles embedded in tabletops. The walls display awards, memorabilia from Detroit sporting events and art celebrating Detroit’s food culture.
A seasonal patio is expected to open later this spring.
The grand opening aligns with the first Friday of Lent, which is typically one of the business’s busiest times of year, according to the release.
During Lent, the new Madison Heights location will offer a daily seafood menu featuring its Fisher Fwy. Fish sandwich in catfish, haddock and Lake Erie walleye varieties, along with fish and chips and a shrimp po’ boy. Additional Lent specials are also planned.
The brand was previously named one of the Top 3 Food Trucks in the U.S. and also ranked among the Top 100 Restaurants in the country by US Weekly.
The dine-in restaurant is located at 32275 Stephenson Highway. It will be open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. The restaurant will be closed on Sundays.
