The Fly Trap Restaurant Ferndale MI

[jsmcafee]

Anybody have any comments on the Fly Trap Restaurant. It was featured recently on Food Networks “Diners, Drive-ins & Dives”. Looked pretty interesting!

I'll third the huevos rancheros. My wife loves the slacker especial. The flytrap is always trying interesting and creative things with their specials. I think they're most known for their breakfast and lunch, but it's a nice place to try for dinner. I would recommend the charmoula chicken. It's also a good place if you're a vegetarian.

The chef came from Fiddleheads. I've never eaten there, so I don't know if that's indicative of anything.

I've been for breakfast a few times - it always competes (for me) with Toast for great Ferndale breakfasts. I love both. I went for dinner after seeing them on Diners/Dives and had the Salmon burger that was featured - I thought it was great. They are only open until 9 pm for dinner.

Toast is a great little place too. Great, omelets and Eggs Benny. I found it's better during the week as opposed to the weekend when they are slammed and quality suffers ever so slightly...They're strictly breakfast and lunch and close at 2 or 3 PM.

I second Toast, The Parisian omelet is my favorite. Havn't been to flytrap yet, but looks like i should go.

I've been to Toast and the flytrap diner both since fall. i got the charmoula chicken at the Flytrap and really enjoyed it as well as their housemade ketchup and jam which came with my daughter's breakfast. They are both quite crowded on the weekends though, unsurprisingly. i wish I lived closer by.

If you have kids, you might prefer Toast which had a kids' menu, whereas we weren't offered one at the Flytrap, although it works out well with them sharing an entree at this point.

My husband wanted to try Toast for their green chile burrito which he enjoyed, but likes his own (spicier sauce) better. :-)

We went for breakfast too, and I had green eggs and ham. The "green" part was a poblano sauce, IIRC, and was delicious. The ham was meh, like lunchmeat ham. But overall I enjoyed the experience.

I have eaten here a half dozen times and I can attest to it's excellence.

They have a very eclectic menu, everything made from scratch. We've only been for the breakfast.. huevos rancheros were delicious, especially good hot sauce. Very nice vibe and neighborhood-y. You won't be disappointed, veggie friendly, too.
