Eat
Eat R. P. McMurphy's
Great bar food at the north end of downtown Wyandotte on Biddle. The coconut shrimp is incredible.
Eat Frank's Restaurant and Pizzeria
Voted 'Best Pizza in Downriver", Frank's has great thin pizza and good Italian food. Good price also.
Eat Pancho's II
Cool looking building with good, authentic Mexican food - a nice touch is that they add green olives to their dishes. Try the Super Burrito. $7-10/plate.
Eat Lucky Dragon
Chinese takeout at a reasonable price. $5-8/plate.
