Originally focused on feeding truck drivers and nearby workers, the operation quickly gained a following.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cMadison Heights is exactly where we want to be,\u201d said Ahmad Nassar, co-owner of Detroit 75 Kitchen. \u201cWe started by feeding truck drivers\u2014people who want real food at a fair price. We\u2019re 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\u2019s what a neighborhood sandwich shop should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The new restaurant represents a $1.5 million investment and will employ 25 full-time team members. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">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\u2019s food culture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">A seasonal patio is expected to open later this spring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The grand opening aligns with the first Friday of Lent, which is typically one of the business\u2019s busiest times of year, according to the release. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">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\u2019 boy. Additional Lent specials are also planned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. \u2013 Detroit 75 Kitchen, the popular food truck, is opening its first dine-in location in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185916,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1266,143,904,145,144],"class_list":{"0":"post-185915","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-oakland","8":"tag-madison-heights","9":"tag-oakland","10":"tag-oakland-county","11":"tag-oakland-headlines","12":"tag-oakland-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185915\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
