Molly Abraham, Detroit News Restaurant Critic: The survivor of two Lester Gruber-founded downtown spots, its claim to fame, in addition to a vintage American menu of such dishes as baby back ribs, Jim Beard's hamburger steak flamed with brandy at tableside, London broil and fresh lake perch, is that a youthful Barbra Streisand appeared there well before she appeared on America's radar screen.... more

Serving guests an American and Continental fare, this is an upscale facility. Expect the average entrée to cost between $20 and $30, and dress casual, but fashionable.

A venerable Detroit institution, this spot recalls a time when elegant restaurants had boardroom decor, lots of oil paintings, and wood. The menu is of similar vintage: corned-beef hash, steaks, chops, Dover sole, and the club's famous baby back ribs. www.caucusclubdetroit.com . AE, D, DC, MC, V. Closed Sun. No lunch Sat.

Editorial Reviews from the web

This legendary restaurant booked Barbara Streisand before her star was born.

In Short The Caucus Club is the last of the old-time downtown Detroit restaurants. Located on the main floor of the vintage Penobscot Building, this clubby, dimly lit restaurant has carried on valiantly. Chef Arthur Calloway has manned the tiny kitchen for years and knows the club's rich menu like the back of his hand. Decadent classic dishes like the London broil, Dover sole, baby... more

This downtown spot is the place where a gangly and untried Barbra Streisand got her break as a singer. Expect a dark and clubby vibe with copper and brass duck presses, stained glass panels and the feeling of a private enclave. The restaurant still serves its classic menu of London broil, baby-back ribs, perch, Dover sole and steak tartare accompanied by very good cocktails and wines from a... more

I didn't know the Caucus Club was even in the Penobscot building. It was just by chance I was even in the building. I was on a date and we stopped in to see it. It was very upscale, and we decided to stay and have a bite to eat. The food was good, and the drinks were even better.

Detroit needs good, solid restaurants downtown. I finally got around to going to the Caucus Club to do my bit to keep it in business. I may have been too late. There were 6 diners at 6:30 pm. I had to flag down the waiter/bar tender to find a seat (there are two entrances). We were not offered a drink: "You ready to order?" The perch was GREAT as were the ribs and the sides, which is why... more

Along with Mario's, the Caucus Club is the last of Detroit's old school restaurants. The menu features your classic meat/fish/potatoes fare. The hamburger steak and Steak Velez (along with heaping sides of creamed spinach and hash browns) were incredible on my last visit. The ribs, I'm told, are among the best in the area. The service is as you would expect from a storied Midwestern eatery:... more
