Dundee restaurant

Question

Is there a restaurant in the area of Dundee where you are seated in a vintage car for your meal?

Answer

Good question. I looked into whether there’s a restaurant *in or immediately around Dundee, Michigan* where you can literally sit inside a vintage car for your meal — and it appears there is no well-documented restaurant in Dundee itself that offers “dining in a vintage car booth.” I couldn’t find credible recent sources listing such a place in or near Dundee. Most mentions of “car-booth diners” in Michigan point to other towns. For example:

— this restaurant converts 1950s automobiles into dining booths, and many reviewers note that you actually sit inside car shells.

Pete’s Garage is mentioned specifically in a forum thread about Dundee as “the place” near the area, though it’s in Monroe — roughly a 20–25 minute drive from Dundee by car (depending on traffic).

Because of that, here’s my honest assessment and suggestion:

As of now, there doesn’t seem to be a restaurant inside Dundee with vintage-car booths or the novelty of dining inside a classic automobile. Local restaurant listings and reviews do not mention any such setup.
If you are willing to travel about 20–30 minutes south to Monroe, Pete’s Garage is likely the closest match to what you’re looking for. Their booths made from 1950s cars are well known, and the place retains a nostalgic, retro-diner vibe.
Because your question is about “in the area,” if you don’t have a car and rely on public transport, you may find it difficult to reach — this is more of a drive-by/drive-there type of novelty place.

Bottom line: No — there isn’t a confirmed diner in Dundee itself with vintage-car seating booths. The closest well-known example nearby is Pete’s Garage in Monroe, MI, which does meet your request but requires a short drive.
