The Tower Inn is located near the Eastern Michigan main campus in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It
is very near the world famous Ypsilanti water tower, which makes it pretty easy to find.
The parking surrounding the restaurant is plentiful. I haven't had any trouble finding all
the times that I have eaten there.
The food is mainstream, with a splash of meditteranian and greek thrown in. The Tower is a
family restaurant, catering to both families and students. If you need a place for a after
work dinner or want to take the family out to eat without having to do the fast food
boogie or spending a mint, then this is the place to go. The booths and tables are set up
so that they preserve a sense of privacy, which allows for conversations not being
overheard. I recommend the pastas and Greek fares from the menu, which have just the right
number and amount of spices in them for a not too powerful flavoring, but at the same time
you know that someone has taken the time to prepare it and not just popped it into a
microwave.
Pizza, did you say pizza? The Tower Inn has some of the better pizza in town, with a fine
selection of toppings, cheeses, sizes and a pretty darn good crust recipe. If you like to
have pizza for lunch or dinner, try out the pizza pies at the Tower Inn.
The appetizers on the menu are standard, with no big surprises. This is good and bad. If
you have an adventurous streak in you, then you will be somewhat disappointed. But on the
other hand, you'll be able to order a appetizer without any problems. I like the Calamari
or Nachos myself.
The main menu consists of food that we all know and love. Pasta, meditteranian, Italian
and American make up the majority of the food selections. Again, no big surprises but you
will be pleased with the food.
Beer or wine? Well, the bar can supply a normal variety of these items. If you're looking
for specialty beers, then you are out of luck at the Tower.
All in all, I give the Tower Inn a thumbs up. I can find no reason not to eat here, and I
can recommend it.
If you're coming to Ypsilanti for an event, business or even to attend school, then the
Tower Inn is a good choice.
