We’ve all been in the position of attempting to make plans and running into hurdles when trying to choose what to do and where to eat. Plans that require multiple stops to an activity and a restaurant can feel like putting together a jigsaw puzzle upside down. Thankfully, we have some awesome places in Metro Detroit that take the stress out of planning what to eat and what to do by pairing the two together. Here are five places that combine food with fun for a great time with friends or family without the stress of planning.
Detroit Axe
Corktown and Ferndale
Detroit Axe combines food, fun, and axe throwing at all three of their Metro Detroit Locations. A coach will walk you through how to throw axes and then you get to play different games. This is a great activity for couples or groups of any size. The Corktown location is at The Yard and features a food truck for something to eat and a full bar. The Ferndale location is inside The Corner and features a full menu and a full bar.
