Linked above is quick-reference guide from the Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United for ethical treatment of employees at more than 150 restaurants, including most local chains and many other major players (and, seemingly, all restaurants included in their coalition). The Detroit-area spots seemed to fare pretty well, so here’s a list of SE Michigan places that pay living wages, offer sick time (for your health, as well as employees’), and provide opportunities for advancement:
Attractively-priced options for Detroit’s locavores.

A purveyor of fine ingredients, and model small business. Everyone should try this Ann Arbor landmark exactly once. Yes, it’s that good. No, a sandwich & side should never cost you upwards of 20 bucks.

The Deli’s classy cousin is a full-service restaurant that, while no slouch on price, gives you more bang for your buck.
