Liz Morton, co-owner of Lily’s Seafood in Royal Oak, stopped by to tell us about this downtown gem. The eatery, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, makes all of its dishes and sauces in-house. Popular menu items include the salmon Reuben and sesame ahi tuna, but there are also chicken and pasta dishes to appeal to the masses. Enjoy Lily’s dog-friendly patio, which opens April 1, or attend the April 6 Tartan Day celebration in honor of Scotland’s independence.

Hussein Olabi, owner of Zo’s Good Burger in Royal Oak, a new location, stopped by to tell us about this fast casual burger restaurant, featuring halal beef. Each burger is customizable, but also unique in toppings and bread choice. For example, the good burger is on a pretzel bun and includes cheese sticks, American cheese, onion rings and good burger sauce. You can also get a black bean burger, hand-battered chicken sandwiches, wraps, loaded fries, shakes and more. Zo’s is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, and Royal Oak is the seventh location in metro Detroit.
