It was the 1930s and Six Mile and Conant was like any street corner in Detroit… people walking to the market, neighbors helping neighbors, and friends meeting at the local gathering spot now known as Buddy’s. Buddy’s existed as a “blind pig,” skirting the State and Federal laws that governed the on-site sale and usage of alcohol. Booze was available there. The owner at the time was August “Gus” Guerra.

When in a booth if you do not have a party of 4 you will have to share your booth when other customers. There is a wooden block placed in the middle of the table for separation. I did not like that. Not a big fan of the Mac n chz. Other than that everything was very good and my service. ~First time customer
