B.L.V.D. (brunch, lunch, vibes, and dinner) Dining is an exciting new restaurant in Southfield that offers an innovative and seamless all-day dining experience, seamlessly blending brunch, lunch, and dinner. The culinary team has carefully curated a menu that celebrates diversity and combines global flavors to create a unique dining experience for guests. This remarkable dining destination officially opened on June 19, 2024, coinciding with the Juneteenth celebration to pay tribute to its Black ownership and rich heritage.
Ron Mims is a key stakeholder in B.L.V.D, a business comprised of multiple Black male entrepreneurs through the Eagle Alliance Hospitality Group.
“This is a historic day. So we want to take that opportunity to thank our ancestors and do what we can to change the culture. It’s always good to get that camaraderie and make sure we are moving our people forward on a day like today,” Mims said.
Some will remember this restaurant was previously D’bo’s Daiquiris, Wings & Seafood. The new concept of B.L.V.D provides an inviting and all-encompassing ambiance suitable for any gathering, whether it’s a leisurely morning with refreshing mimosas or a delightful evening meal.
Their menu features a delightful fusion of locally inspired flavors such as steak bites, pancake flight and different flavored mimosas.

“We recently pivoted, and now we’re looking more towards being a full all-day location because we realized that was the favorite menu item. We opened the space and put our spin on it with our personality. And we went from there. So it’s been great so far,” Mims said.
Sam Kirkland, one of the owners, said he is looking forward to continuing to give back to the community, and that has stayed the same with the new restaurant concept.
“We still have the same idea that we want to get back to the community because we all grew up in Southfield and to be able to give scholarships to Southfield High, also offer mentorship to people who want to go into business and get the word out that Black people can work together, “Kirkland said.
B.L.V.D is crafting a rich, immersive dining experience by infusing diverse flavors and culinary innovations. However, some fan favorites remained, the famous daiquiris being the main one.
“The menu has expanded considerably, and we were able to add healthier options with fresh vegetables and salads as well as house favorites,” Mims said.
“Many of the customer favorites we kept, like the catfish nuggets and burger options, have expanded with our addition of the lamb burger.”
