Baker's is a Detroit icon, with an incredible history and soul food menu to match. The fried chicken is everyone's favorite, so don't miss it, and the entertainment is legendary. [Eater 38 Member]
Delicious fried chicken , some of THE best music , and friendly atmosphere . Get an Uber or Lyft their though, parking is a nightmare. Oh! And make a reservation !
Fantastic food! My parents call it their "old stompin grounds" and I can see why! I only wish I was able to see some live music !! Friendly staff and great drinks! Smothered porkchop was 👌🏾.
The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is nice, but DO NOT go by yourself. They'll try to move your seat under the guise of "this is better for you". I stood my ground. I liked my original seat.
This is the world's OLDEST operating jazz club ! In honor of Black History, see noteworthy examples of African-Americans' accomplishments in Music : http://bet.us/BHM
Wilbert Peagler is an awesome musician ! If his band is playing, definitely stop in at Baker's and have the catfish while you're there.
Awesome lunch special (more like lunch and dinner special ). Wings, Whiting or Pork-chop, all fried, with 2 sides for $8. Soul Food heaven!
Everything from the music to the service to the food is great!! Cute for dates too!
The food and shows are always good. The service is always lackluster and slow. It will improve when the service staff realizes that their money is made from the guests.
The music is great along with the food and atmosphere. A great place to visit.
Great place to hear some jazz . This place is an American Icon for sure.

Happenin' joint!!! Have not had the opportunity to sample the food yet, but the atmosphere for cocktails is mighty entertaining. Highly recommend for an offbeat experience in good ol' Motown. - John Dion
Amazing brunch menu! Although, a lot of the space is in very dim lighting. I didn’t care for that too much. - Cierra Farrar
