The Fly Trap in Ferndale has earned a loyal following among people who appreciate quality breakfast without fussiness. Cheapism says:

"The Fly Trap calls itself a ‘finer diner,’ and the Ferndale spot has been open since 2004. The kitchen produces fresh baked goods daily. The menu balances traditional diner classics with creative house-made items and changes seasonally. Prices are reasonable without sacrificing quality. For travelers passing through metro Detroit, it is the kind of breakfast stop that feels local without needing a white tablecloth."

The Fly Trap is open for brunch and breakfast, and lunch items are served all day. Try Green Eggs and Ham, or, for the less adventurous, 'Eggs A La Boring'. Make any meal at The Fly Trap better with a boozy beverage from their full bar.
