There was a time not too long ago when you stopped at a service station for gas and maybe a soft drink or a candy bar. Although most now have morphed into convenience stores offering sandwiches, hot dogs, donuts and slurpies, few if any flaunt the restaurant-quality cuisine turned out at Mr. Kabob, located inside a Sunoco station at the corner of 12 Mile and Coolidge.

This Detroit-area Mediterranean home-cooking chain was opened by a pair of brothers inside a Sunoco. The open kitchen's a rarity for gas station fare, and the popularity of their fattoush salad adds a level of healthiness that's equally as surprising. Family-style combination plates make group to-go orders a heroic move, but if you're driving solo you can't go wrong with a classic $5 shawarma.

Celebrating 13 years dishing up juicy chicken shawarmas and fresh fattoush salads out of the Sunoco station at Coolidge and 12 Mile, Mr. Kabob has garnered a loyal following as well as national recognition when it was named one of America's 13 best gas-station restaurants by Thrillist last year.

Mr. Kabob - In Michigan, Mr. Kabob is king among gas station food. What started as a simple Mediterranean grill serving dishes like babaganoush, chicken kafta, crispy falafel and (of course) kabob from a gas station in Berkeley, Michigan has now grown into four locations scattered across the state.
