Toast, a Neighborhood Joint

Molly Abraham, Detroit News Restaurant Critic: Toast Birmingham - spun off from the more modest original in Ferndale - is true to its roots, even though it has added dinner and cocktails. The breakfast menu includes an array of egg dishes, French toast and waffles served right through lunch until just before cocktail hour. The separate dinner menu is all-American eclectic, ranging from burgers and fries to artisanl cheeses and smoked duck pie.
