    Quick service and good food. Tasted just like greek food should. Went in on Friday 4pm. We were in and out in 35minutes. Portions are HUGE.

    Medium Greek salad with gryo meat

    Great service. I had a medium great salad with gryo meat. The meat was great and I liked the salad dressing. It was heavy on the meat and made a great meal. A solid Greek salad.

    Just ok..... ordered a half fattoush salad and 2 chicken tawook sandwiches and a side of garlic. Fattoush Salad: The half order was a very generous size and very filling. The lettuce was good and the pita chips fresh. The dressing was just ok. No real flavor. It wasn't bad just wasn't good. Not something I would order again. Garlic Sauce: This is make it or break it for me when trying somewhere new. The sauce was just ok, again no real flavor. I prefer my garlic sauce to be very garlic flavored. Sandwiches: Chicken was fresh and good but the sandwich was just ok again. This is because the garlic sauce wasn't great and the pickles were weird. I feel like it was just ok...... for $30 I would have wanted much more flavor. Nothing was notably bad, the service was GREAT. Take out was fast. Food was fresh and hot just not full of flavor. Everything was very bland.

    Shish kebab and fries
    Jennifer D.

    Been coming here for a looooong time. It's gone up and down with the quality, but has always been a favorite of ours. I rave to everyone about how good this place is. The last 3 times it has been awful. When I called and said they forgot my husbands meal, I was promised a side of gyro meat next time. She then continued to tell me it would be a "hefty side". I don't write reviews often, but I gave this place every opportunity to make it right and they couldn't. The kebab was dry, burger bun was completely soggy with pickle juice and the fries look like the fryer hadn't been changed in months. I'm taking my friend's advice now and going elsewhere. The chicken is also chewy and not cooked half the time. Also, learn how to treat your loyal customers better.

    You could tell they were trying to be friendly but very overwhelmed and rushed as it was busy. I call for a carry out order and asked if there was a dinner special for shish kabob with veggies & rice with a side salad (as I had this before with grilled pepper & rice with/red sauce) She said yes, asked me if I wanted stir fry veggies or green beens which kinda through me off I assumed stir fry meant w/ peppers so I chose that and then confirmed side salad as my side. I got home, this was not what I had expected. There was no rice & red sauce and then their version of stir fry veggies. My side salad looks like I got the bottom of a bag of lettuce.. a lot of brown lettuce. Did not look fresh. This is usually my absolute favorite for a good kabob meal & their Greek dressing is obviously to die for.

    This is the meal in question.  Use to be 8.99.  Now it's 13.99 and portions are smaller.

Today was the day we got to finally stop by. They have seating outside and a drive thru. It is pretty cold out so we went through the drive-thru. It didn't take a super long time to order our food. They had the same food as the other location. It is a cute little spot. My husband ordered space cowboy burger and it is his favorite. I got a comet slider and it was delicious. The fries were good but to be honest I am going to admit they taste even better at the other location. The service was amazing. The lady working told us that she loves the owner. Meat is brought in fresh every day. The fries are dropped fresh every time as well. We would love to come visit again soon.

As everyone and their mother has already pointed out their prices were too damn high! It's one thing to pay more to go to a sit down burger joint in Royal Oak where you get to soak in that classic 50s theme all around you with extensive decor but what's the point when it's a former Checker's in St. Clair Shores with only a drive thru and a couple of outside tables with zero ambiance. You can sit and look over at the Burger King where everything would have been cheaper. Or at least you could. The food isn't that special to justify the extra expense. Went here a couple times which was one too many and the grub didn't seem nearly as good as the OG Comet Burger in Royal Oak. Me typing out this review is the very definition of beating a dead horse and I got over a hundred other things to review but I just couldn't resist.

The fall out fries were the move over the regular fries. The serving size was enough for 2 people. The side salad was run-of-the-mill. I ordered a medium rare, 1/2 lb bison burger on a brioche bun with aged white cheddar, caramelized onions, and bourbon ketchup. It ending up being rare instead of medium rare, and had fried (crispy) onions instead of caramelized. My wife crafted her own mac and cheese. After confirming the "chicken bites" were fried, she ordered a bowl of mac with those, onions, cheddar, and velveeta. The chicken appeared to be grilled rather than fried, and the mac itself lacked any flavor. Considering the mac was $21, we definitely wouldn't order it again. To say the least, I wasn't surprised to hear World's End closed. Had it not, I would have given it another chance.

    This was such a good burger!…read more One of the best burgers I have had. I have been wanting to try this place for years. I was finally on the right side of time and had time to go in. They are located next to a gas station which comes in handy if you also need gas. I order the number 1 and my son ordered the pizza burger. Both were very filling and delicious. The original burger was cooked perfectly and the bun was pretty good. The onions and pickles were so good and I don't usually like pickles. I didn't try the signature sauce as I'm not a fan of thousand island. But many people will enjoy it the way it's suppose to be made I'm sure.The pizza burger was pretty cool. It had 3 nice sized mozzarella sticks on them and pizza sauce. We wanted fries and they only come in one size. The one size is big enough to share. We were suggested the lemon pepper fries and that was such a great suggestion. They are fresh cut fries and you can tell. I was happy they had regular fries and not the battered crispy ones a lot of place do. So they definitely will get 5 stars for the fries alone. It has some seating inside, but most people seem to get carry out. The men at the counter were so nice in helping us. They really suggested things we would like and we did. I will be glad to give them my business again.

First thing to know: this is a delivery or curbside-only operation, so don't expect to dine in. I pulled into the lot, called the number posted on the building, and placed my order right from the car. The process was simple, and my food was ready in about 15-20 minutes, which felt pretty reasonable. I started with the mushroom Swiss burger paired with Cajun fries--definitely the highlight. The burger was flavorful and satisfying, and the fries had just the right kick. For later, I grabbed a double cheeseburger "deluxe style." While it was loaded, it might have been a little too loaded--so many toppings that it overwhelmed the burger a bit. The only real downside was not having a place to sit and eat. I had to drive elsewhere to enjoy my food before it cooled down, which took away from the overall experience. Still, the prices were competitive, the service was efficient, and the mushroom Swiss burger alone is worth a return trip. I'd definitely swing back again--next time, I'll just pick my eating spot in advance.
