If you want a burger with a lot of flavor and style this place rocks. Tried a few burger joints in and around the greater Detroit area this place is so far the front runner and the best burger place in the area so far. Only thing is I don't believe they take Apple Pay so one of the servers was nice enough to let me cash app her the total and she covered my bill shout out to I believe it was Carol Kemper great server and she kept me from washing the dishes. She said she was ready to put me to work if need be.

This is really good place with huge burgers and good price but, there is only one person for service and it took a bit to long. We were also watching the Michigan game.

Menu is pretty expensive for some of the burgers they have, but the food is decent and me and my girlfriend had a great time at this location very clean. The server was great. Will be back for sure.

My boyfriend brought me here for my birthday because it was really convenience. Really nice place next to the mall, the burgers were amazing and the service really good. If you are looking for a place to grab a quick bite with good service next to the mall come here. Really convenient because all the restaurants around the area close early.

Love this place! The food is great, the service great, being able to watch football from a dozen or more TV is great too! Their sweet potato fries are tasty, and their salads are fresh! My favorite place to go when I am in town!

This is "Old Detroit" all the way! We stopped in for a bite to eat while in town for a visit. A friend recommended it so we thought we would give it a go. We walked in around 1 on a Saturday while Michigan was playing Ohio State. All the TV's were on the game and the crowd was lively. We ordered the tatertizer which was a massive pile of crispy tater tots covered in cheese and bacon! They were great! We also ordered a chicken salad, 3 burgers with waffle fries, and a Reuben with waffle fries. We were shocked at the half pound size of the burgers! We could not finish all of our food. This place seems like a hole in the wall bar, but it is a great go to for game day. Total hidden gem of a game day place! Loved it, and totally recommend. You will feel right at home! Only one pic because the food was great and we were so hungry!

Just a really good, straightforward burger. Quality ingredients, served hot, with tasty fries on the side. Service is friendly and courteous. 10/10 would recommend to any meat-lovers in search of a classic burger. I like how the names of the burgers are odes to various Detroit landmark staples!
