**Bigalora Wood Fired Cucina**, 29110 Franklin Rd. Wood-fired pizza, cocktails, table service, reservations and a patio — the most complete outdoor dinner in the city, and dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating.

**Shield's Restaurant Bar Pizzeria**, 25101 Telegraph Rd. Deep-dish and a full bar with patio seating, plus a children's menu if you are bringing the family.

**Hideaway**, 29267 Southfield Rd. The neighborhood bar with outdoor seating — the right call when you want a slow evening rather than a scene.

**Starter's Bar and Grill Southfield**, 25242 Evergreen Rd. Patio, cocktails, happy hour and sports on inside. Good for a group that cannot agree on anything.

**Myomee Cafe**, 27566 Northwestern Hwy. Outdoor seating, Wi-Fi and the highest coffee rating in Southfield. The best patio in the city for sitting still.

**Panera Bread**, 28681 Telegraph Rd. Predictable, but it has a patio, Wi-Fi and allows dogs outside — which is more than most of Telegraph offers.

**Starbucks Coffee Company**, 29235 Telegraph Rd. Patio, drive-through, dogs outside. A functional stop rather than a destination.

## How to plan the evening

Franklin Road and Northwestern Highway sit next to each other, so coffee at Myomee and dinner at Bigalora is a five-minute move. Telegraph handles the middle of the day. Southfield Road and Evergreen are where you end up after dark.

## One honest caveat

Southfield does not have a walkable patio district. Every stop here needs a car, and they are spread across four corridors. The upside is that parking is free everywhere and you are never waiting for a table because the whole city funnelled onto one block.
