A culinary reflection of Detroit’s melting pot, Sterling Heights is metro Detroit’s beating bistro, with a heavy dose of Mediterranean, Polish, and Italian influence.
Here, every meal is about comfort, community, and flavor that never cuts corners.
1. Andiamo Italia
An elegant Italian anchor, Andiamo offers house-made pasta, veal saltimbocca, eggplant Parmesan, and signature risotto.
The wine cellar is deep, and families and couples alike flock here for classic date nights or to raise a toast on milestone birthdays.
2. Mikhael’s Mediterranean Cuisine
Serving Lebanese staples—shawarma, kabobs, fattoush salad, grape leaves, and fluffy fresh pita—Mikhael’s is a Sterling Heights institution for both lunch feasts and leisurely family dinners.
The hummus is creamy and tangy, servers always urge you to try a little of everything, and the baklava is must-have.
3. Texas Roadhouse
Sterling Heights takes its steak seriously, and this branch of the famous chain is beloved for grilled rib-eyes, fall-off-the-bone ribs, baked sweet potatoes, and baskets of hot, buttery rolls.
The atmosphere is lively (think country music, birthdays, and peanuts on every table).
4. Polka Restaurant
Celebrating the area’s Polish heritage, Polka serves pierogi, stuffed cabbage, kielbasa, and hearty potato pancakes in a warm, old-country atmosphere.
Friday polka music and weekend beer specials make it a favorite for generations of locals.
5. House of Chang
Sterling Heights’ best Chinese, House of Chang delivers piping hot bourbon chicken, Szechuan shrimp, lo mein, and dumplings as good as Detroit’s Chinatown.
It’s quick, dependable, and a favorite for takeout or weeknight family dinners.
