This October, Haab's restaurant in Ypsilanti will celebrate their 75th year in business - Yes that's right 75 YEARS!!! That is a lot of family dining experiences...When I first bought a home in Ypsilanti Township, we wanted to check out the area - Eating at local Ypsilanti eateries, finding the local Ypsilanti hot spots - You get the idea. My mom said, "Have you ever heard of Haab's? I was there years ago and they have fantastic food." So off we went for our first of many nights out in downtown Ypsilanti...
What I like most about Haab's is that it is nearby in downtown Ypsilanti, and it has a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. No one frowned when we walked in with a toddler - Plus there is a lot of great history surrounding the building and throughout the dining rooms.
You feel like you have stepped back to 1934 - The ceilings in the main dining room have beautiful pressed tin tiles and a massive, 30-foot African Mahogany bar. The other two dining rooms are decorated in Ante Bellum motif, with heirlooms from the original Haab Family homestead in Lodi Township scattered throughout. The hand-hewn oak beams also enhance the early American atmosphere.
But, the reputation of the Haab's was not built on its decor, but instead on the quality and affordable food they served. Whenever we have eaten there, we get more than enough to eat - Even leaving with several doggie bags!
Haab's is well-known for a thick-cut New York Strip Sirloin Steak broiled to perfection and was acclaimed locally in the Ann Arbor News reader poll as “Washtenaw County’s No. I steak house” every year until the category was retired. Haab's reputation has spread beyond Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor, however, as evidenced by the article from Detroit Monthly, prominently displayed at the front entrance, “For the Best Steak in Detroit, Go to Ypsilanti!”
For a great meal and a warm family-friendly dining experience, stop by and re-visit Haab's in Ypsilanti - You won't be disappointed!
