Whatcha wanna eat? If you have picky eaters at home, you know that question isn’t always easy to answer.
Luckily, Detroit’s first Black-owned food hall, Whatcha Wanna Eat? Food Hall, opened on the city’s west side last month. The food hall is home to nine vendors serving up a variety of food, from barbecue, chicken sandwiches and rice bowls to baked goods and sweets. Where else can you order yourself lobster or salmon while your little one munches on chicken tenders or a turkey quesadilla?
Whatcha Wanna Eat? Food Hall is designed to be a space where community members can gather and support up-and-coming restaurateurs. Each business owner at the food hall is a first-time food vendor, and each business is minority owned.

Our approach to visiting a food hall for the first time? Arrive on an empty stomach, but don’t order a full meal at the first place that makes your mouth water. Instead, try smaller sides and appetizers from a variety of vendors so you can sample the food and create a list of places you want to eat at again on your next visit. And, be sure to save room for dessert!
But hey, that’s just our approach — only you can decide which delicious menu items are calling you. Below you’ll find some tasty options that are perfect for littles and picky eaters. Bon appétit!
