Since 1937

It started at Davison and Shields Street.

Shield's has been part of Metro Detroit's history since 1937, beginning as Shield's Bar in Detroit. It quickly became a favorite gathering spot for families, politicians, athletes and public figures alike — and a tradition of high quality food at reasonable prices.

In their words

Guests keep coming back

Had not been here in a few years, and the pizza has gotten amazing! I'd dare to say, better than Buddy's… The waiter was absolutely excellent. Do yourself a favor and stop in.

Kristen GilbertShield's of Troy

When thirteen hungry people (six under six years old) enter any restaurant without a reservation there might be cause for concern. The Shields staff handled the issue with speed and grace. Shields has been a favorite with my wife and I since their only location was on Shields in Detroit.

CustomerShield's of Troy

This was my family's first time coming here since the remodel and we had a great experience! The food was great and so was our waiter! The manager stopped by to make sure everything was good and on our way out four staff members thanked us for coming. We will be back soon!
