Capers

About

Tucked away on Gratiot Avenue in Detroit, Capers has earned a reputation as a neighborhood staple for those seeking a straightforward, no-frills steakhouse experience. This cozy, intimate spot is known for its welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff, making it a popular destination for locals looking for a reliable meal. With a solid 4.4 rating from over 3,000 reviews, the restaurant focuses on classic comfort food, offering a menu that centers on steak—including options by the ounce—alongside sides like baked potatoes, potato skins, and sautéed spinach. The dining room is notably small, which creates a private, chill vibe but means the restaurant is best suited for smaller groups rather than large parties. While the limited space and parking can sometimes lead to a wait, many patrons find the experience well worth the trip. Whether guests are stopping in for a Delmonico steak, catfish, or a drink from the full bar, the focus remains on providing fresh, classic dishes in a setting that feels like a hidden gem on the city's East side.
