Did you know that Girls Gone Hungry resides in Ferndale, Michigan? We are completely in love with our city and lucky enough to be within walking distance to downtown. On weekends you’ll catch us hopping from one restaurant to another. With that in mind we’ve compiled a list of our favorite Ferndale Restaurants. Let us know if you agree with our picks!
Public House
We think it’s safe to say we’re officially regulars at Public House. We’re obsessed with this restaurant for many reasons: it’s hip, the cocktails are delicious, and they offer food for both meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Public House is also our favorite brunch spot in the city. They showcase a new variety of waffle every weekend. What’s not to love?

The Emory
We love the location of The Emory. It’s centrally located with a patio that looks onto iconic Woodward Avenue. They have a great selection of wine, craft beer and specialty cocktails. You can check our their Happy Hour monday through friday 3pm – 7pm & sunday 9pm – close. The menu is full of delicious burgers and sandwiches, and you’ll even find a meatloaf dinner on the list!
GGH Favorite Menu Item
Gina: Impossible Burger
Holly: Turkey Burger
Imperial
Are street tacos and hot dogs your jam? How about homemade margaritas or a Mai Tai? If you answered yes, then you’ll find yourself in foodie nirvana at Imperial. One of the things we love best about this restaurant is their rotating menu. There are a few hero items that stick around, but they don’t let the rest of the menu get stagnant. You’ll find new veggie and meat tacos offered throughout every month. They also have a Late-Night menu every Friday and Saturday!
GGH Favorite Menu Item
Gina: The red potato taco (when available)
Holly: Salsa Flight
Pops for Italian
We adore Pops for Italian! This restaurant is a little dressier than the others we’ve talked about, and makes for a perfect date location. We love, love, love the outdoor patio with planter boxes and the pop of color it gives to Ferndale. This is also one of our go to brunch spots. Just look at that monkey bread!
GGH Favorite Menu Item
Gina: Giant Mimosa
Holly: Monkey Bread
The Corner
This restaurant is our favorite to go to with a group of friends. They provide an entire wall (complete with a Beauty and the Beast type library ladder) full of games for its patrons. With more than fifty Michigan beers and ciders, a collection of locally-produced spirits, and a great wine list – you’ll be sure to find the perfect drink to share with friends.
