Midtown Detroit’s Traffic Jam and Snug restaurant has remained as an extremely popular dining destination and an industry trendsetter for more than 50 years.
Homemade is the rule here and the in-house bakery’s pies, cookies, cakes, and exotic breads keep locals coming back for more. Traffic Jam and Snug is also known for their in-house dairy that produces artisan cheeses.
The Traffic Jam and Snug brewery is the home of Michigan’s oldest licensed brewpub, issued back in 1992 decades before brewpubs became the rage.
