OC Restaurant Quest: Gatsby’s in Novi

(Crystal A. Proxmire, Nov. 14, 2022)

Novi, MI – For over 35 years, Gatsby’s has served up pub food at their location on 45701 Grand River in Novi. I loved the Brussels Sprout Salad, which I added chicken to. It comes made with flash fried Brussels sprouts tossed with candied pecans, goat cheese, shaved red onion, crumbled bacon, balsamic glaze and Mike’s hot honey. That mix of flavors made for a meal that was filling and a joy to my taste buds.

I also ordered a baked potato which was absolutely perfect – soft and hot and topped with bacon and cheese, and served with sour cream.  It was a great lunch with plenty of leftovers for later.

Gatsby’s offers a nice selection of burgers and sandwiches, including the Gatsby Hoagie, Tuna Melt, Cajun Chicken Sandwich, and Grilled Cheese. Appetizer options include Chicken Nachos, Mac and Cheese Bites, Potato Skins, Wings and more.

I really loved the Brussels Sprout Salad, and their other salad choices sound good too – including Cajun Chicken, Chicken Cobb, Antipasto, and Joe’s Black and Blue.

This classic Novi pub does not have a website or online ordering, however if you look at their pictures on Facebook you’ll see the menu.
