- Ypsilanti — Aubree’s — I recently lost 60 pounds. This involved giving up many foods over the past year. However, Aubree’s Mediterrean Feta Bread is the one indulgence that I have been unable to give up. It is utterly cheesy and greasy, and dipped in their homemade ranch dressing, is the utmost in decadence. The turkey reuben is equally cheesy and greasy and a four-napkiner, as is the corned beef reuben. Go to Aubree’s after your round at Eagle Crest, and then head upstairs to the best bar around, Sticks.
- Ypsilanti — Sticks — There are forty-two stairs leading up from Aubree’s to Sticks. I have this memorized for when I attempt to walk down them after an evening of beer. Sticks is half pool hall, half bar (and tiki bar in the summer). You can order from Aubree’s full menu and indulge in the beer of the month (25 oz for $3.25!!). My wife loves this bar — cheap Miller Lite, awesome food, always a game on the tv, and a lot of good memories. Tip: The Feta Bread and the Old Detroiter burger (smoked ham, crispy hickory smoked bacon, and swiss cheese) are even that much more exceptional after a few tall ones. Sticks is considered the unofficial bar of WeekendWarriorGolfer.com east.
- South Lyon — Moose Grille — We had quite an appetite after our round and started our meal with a cup the soup de jour. Much to our delight it wasn’t a soup at all, but a delicious Chorizo Chipotle Chili. Nice robust flavors permeated from the heat of the chorizo and chipotle. It is delayed from the onset but very pleasant when arriving. Start your meal off right and order this, you won’t regret it. Next, we ordered an appetizer of Jalapeño Crab Dip, which is served like spinach and artichoke dip. The roasted Jalapeno and crab are mixed together with parmesan and onions creating a deviously textured spread. Spoon it on to the chewy fresh bread sliced into individual servings and you have a winning combination. House opted for the healthier sister to his favorite sandwich. The Turkey Reuben was a fine post round choice. The noteworthy homemade coleslaw added a lot to the overall taste of the sandwich. The Cheeseburger VW ordered looked Food Network worthy as it was delivered to our table. It was so attractive that two guys who had just ordered hot dogs switched their orders to burgers. We took a moment to stare at it because it was almost looked too good to eat. Cold beer, great service, many flat screens TVs to watch your favorite sporting event. The décor boasts a wonderful moose lodge setting, which makes this “19th hole” too good to pass up.
