Joe Louis Southern Kitchen Expands to Southfield with Grand Opening
The boxing-themed brunch spot, named after the legendary boxer Joe Louis, has announced its grand opening in Southfield. The restaurant, led by Joe Louis Barrow II, son of the boxing great, marks a significant milestone for the brand as it expands its operations beyond its original location in Detroit.
To commemorate this occasion, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on December 9, marking a new chapter in the journey of this beloved eatery. At the heart of the restaurant's concept lies the spirit of Joe Louis, whose legacy continues to inspire and unite people across the community.
The menu features an assortment of breakfast-style options, including scrambles, skillets, omelets, sandwiches, and more, all crafted with a focus on comfort food that brings family and friends together. The spacious 5,300-square-foot venue can accommodate approximately 99 diners and staffs 35 employees, creating an inviting atmosphere for patrons to enjoy their meals.
In addition to its delectable cuisine, the new location boasts a unique feature – a gift shop offering exclusive Joe Louis Southern Kitchen merchandise. This thoughtful touch not only enhances the overall dining experience but also provides customers with a tangible keepsake to remember their visit by.
The success of the brand's original location in Detroit has been evident, and it's clear that Southfield residents will welcome this new addition with open arms. As Johnny Cannon, co-CEO alongside Barrow, noted, "It's wonderful to see firsthand how our restaurants resonate with guests." With a third location slated for downtown Detroit opening in April, Joe Louis Southern Kitchen is poised to continue its growth as a staple of the community.

They're keeping the spirit of the original spot alive while bringing more people together with their delicious comfort food. The new location looks cozy and inviting, especially with the gift shop - who wouldn't want a cool Joe Louis merch? 
I'm excited to see what other locations they'll open in Detroit next! The whole team seems super enthusiastic about it too, which is always a good sign. Can't wait to try it out for myself and see why everyone loves JLSK so much 
. I'm also loving the idea of an exclusive gift shop – it's such a nice touch to make the experience even more special for customers. Can't wait to check out this new location and try some of those delicious dishes! 
! Love that they're keeping it cozy with a gift shop too, perfect for picking up some swag to remember the meal by 
. And can we talk about how their breakfast skillets are?! Fluffy eggs, crispy bacon... I'm sold 
. Can't wait to see what other deliciousness they bring to downtown Detroit in April 
.
i love that they're keeping the boxing theme going, even if i dont know much about boxin lol. anyway, i heard its menu r super delish esp those breakfast skillets! 
. I mean, I'm not saying it's bad, but why do they have to make it so... southern 
? Can't they just stick with a more neutral vibe like most brunch spots? And don't even get me started on the gift shop 
. Who thought it was a good idea to turn a restaurant into a mini mall? It's all about the $$, not the food 
. I'm sure the new Southfield location will be just as overpriced and crowded as the one in Detroit. Not exactly the most original concept, if you ask me 
.
And the gift shop thing is a genius move - it's always nice to have some exclusive merch to take home as a memento. I'm curious to try out this new spot and see what all the fuss is about! 
i mean who doesn't love a good brunch spot? and the fact that it's named after joe louis, the boxing legend? that's like, so cool! i'm thinking of taking my friends there for a post-workout meal (or pre-workout, let's be real 
) but honestly, i'd just go for their pancakes 
can't wait to try it out and see if they're as good as the reviews say 
i mean, who wouldn't want to eat at a place named after joe louis? 
its defo a good spot for a study break tho, they gotta have comfy seating areas or else its gonna be super distracting during exams 
i wonder if they'll have any vegan options tho? anyway can't wait to check it out and see how big the gift shop is 
. And $15 breakfast burritos? No thanks 
. At least they're including some merch in the gift shop, I guess 
.
! 
Can't wait for them to open in downtown Detroit 
! The fact that they're keeping the spirit of Joe Louis alive is amazing, you know? It's not just about the food (although, I mean, the menu does look amazeballs 
he was all about community and family, and it's so refreshing to see that being carried on in this new location. 
anyway, can't wait to check it out and try all the yummy food! 
. And 99 seats might seem small, but hey, who needs a huge space when you've got amazing food and a cozy vibe?
