One word: Wow! Terrific sear, and the burger was NOT dry. Great beefy flavor, good seasoning, cheese is fully melted, the veggies are fresh and crisp, the brioche bun is perfectly toasted. Glad to have a generous leaf of lettuce rather than confetti lettuce from a bag. If I could change one thing, it would be a thick slice of tomato. Two things? A thin, full slice of onion. I like the 1950's drive-in vibe. Order at the window or call-in your order. Burgers are made to order, so do not fuss if it takes 10 minutes ... certainly worth the wait! I ordered a hand-scooped chocolate shake ... and forgot to ask for the blend to be coarse, not creamy. It was very creamy and had very good chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. Will I return? An emphatic YES. read more

First time trying Big Dip Burgers and it was a great experience other than the wait time. That's how good it is! Next time I will call in my order or order online. The burger, waffle fries and the shake were all very well prepared! The burger was perfectly seared with fresh lettuce and tomato! Toasted bun bonus! Will definitely be back! Wishing them continued success! read more

My fiance and I tried this place out tonight via DoorDash because of their cheese curds, and everything was very tasty. We split an order of the cheese curds and the onion rings. The onion rings were super crunchy, even after a 15-minute delivery drive, and the cheese curds were nice and melted. My fiance got the Jake's burger and liked it, although he said it wasn't very spicy, and I got the Philly burger, which is more like a cheesesteak, and that was delicious; I also added mushrooms for an upcharge. This place would get 5 out of 5 for me except for the delivery prices - I looked at their regular menu, and most of their sandwiches have an extra $3 added to it (see my screenshot below). Oddly enough, the onion rings only had like $1 added, but the cheese curds also had the $3 upcharge. (And I'd say for both the cheese curds and the onion rings, you only get enough for one person ... We got five onion rings, for example) That being said, I would stop by here again sometime, because all the food was so good - my parents actually live right next door to it. read more

Everything we ordered hit the spot. The burger was juicy with that satisfying sear on the outside, and the bun held up perfectly without getting soggy. Fries were golden, crispy, and addictive -- exactly what you'd hope for but rarely get. The setup may be casual, but the food quality says otherwise. It's clear they take pride in what they serve. Even the little details felt dialed in -- from the way the meal was packed to how fresh everything tasted. Definitely one of those spots you think about long after you've left read more

The Bar-B-Q Chicken Sandwich and it was absolutely delicious! Their Hamburgers are delicious too

Best burgers in town. Very well prepared and simply delish.... However, the real topper is the milkshakes...truly unbelievabl. Without a doubt, the best I've EVER had...you've got to get it. See for yourself. read more

food is really very good..we,the whole family loves it. we live nearby and every time,we order and just walk and pick it up..the burger,chicken sandwiches,fries, and on the top their ice creams are really very very delicious. fresh lettuce,tomato,onion and mango sauce is really on top read more

Well seasoned delicious burgers here! This was on our summer eating list and we were finally able to try this stand. First of all, the gentleman who I believe is the owner will go way out of his way to assist and help make all of his customers happy and satisfied. It is an outdoor stand, so I was a bit worried it would be too hot, I do not love eating outside, but there is a nice covered awning and some picnic tables, and it was very comfortable near the water. They have a nice selection of burgers, chicken, and hotdogs, plus sides and dessert. I had the classic cheese burger. It was so tasty. I also had a side of their Cali sauce which seeks to imitate In and Out Burger, I enjoyed it. I tried their waffle fries, which are pretty good. Plus it is a good deal to get the fry and drink add on since it was about $3.25 for a side of fries, but $3.95 to add the fries and drink, so I got a Pepsi. I also personally like to only eat about half a burger and take the rest home for the next day and see if the burger stands up to the next day deliciousness test, which it did, it was just as flavorful and juicy the next day. There were a few hiccups though. The kids orders both got messed up and needed to be remade. Then, unfortunately, when they were remade, they were still not quite correct, or as they ordered them since one was missing ingredients and the other one got the same ingredients that they asked to be excluded. I know the owner would have probably tried again, but I did not want to bother him about it. They just ate it anyway. We were not able to get the ice cream due to the ingredients but for those who can eat here, the menu looked very enticing and even included vegan products. The owner was very helpful in looking up ingredients for us. We would probably come back for the yummy burgers and sauce. The food takes awhile since it seems to be made fresh to order. There is a nice crowd, so it also seems like there is a nice turn over of product to keep it fresh and delicious. read more

After a long bike ride on a beautiful summer day, we were looking for someplace on the water for lunch and stumbled across this place. I loved the old drive-in restaurant feel...it had me wondering if it used to be something different. The young lady at the counter was very friendly and patient as we reviewed the large menu. I ended up getting the California Burger and my wife got the BBQ Burger. We also split an order of waffle fries because they were out of onion rings (onion issues are going to be a theme...more on that in a moment). The burgers were outstanding...really great flavor! Our only complaints: my burger was supposed to have grilled onions - it didn't. My wife's burger was supposed to have onion straws - it didn't. That was a pretty minor concern - overall we really enjoyed this spot! read more

Big Dip Burgers - two people standing in front of a big dip - Burgers Near Me - Walled Lake, Michigan

Probably the best burger I've had in a long time. I was the only person there and walked up to order at the window. Waited about 6-7 min in my car after ordering for the burger to be ready (which was nbd). Did not disappoint! Would go out of my way to go there again. read more

What a fun little place!! I saw the pic of the donut & shake on Yelp and decided I had to find this place after work. So two surprises: I ordered my husband a burger and fries and then saw they offer a Beyond Burger also! Very rarely is there a meal for me at these fun drive up places! And surprise #2: the quality of the burgers was awesome! Totally didn't expect it to be so good! (See pic) Also, I LOVE that they do the big waffle fries! So good and not at all greasy! The shakes were awesome! No donut so I maybe ordered the wrong thing but it was delicious! Like the old fashioned, high quality ice cream taste- so much better than the fast food/DQ not too far away I love that this place is right at the lake and has so many place to sit and enjoy the scenery and terrific food! read more

We only came here for shakes and frozen custard on a chilly fall evening, but we loved it! Cute, affordable, up north vibes.

Best burger I have ever had! They make them with seasoned beef and they are thick but still taste like a smash burger. My boyfriend and I found this place driving by and had to try it I'm so glad we did. It looks like a carnival or festival food truck place from the outside but it's an actual building. You have to order at the window but then they deliver it to the car or bench/table which is very nice! read more

Big Dip is a staple here in Walled Lake. Their burgers are so good along with their waffle fries. My kids and I always come up here after a day at Mercer Beach. Highly recommended!! read more

We've had amazing experiences here with the food, atmosphere, and service. We order ahead on the website and pick it up fast and easy. They even have free delivery in our area which we haven't tried yet but are happy they offer. The burgers and waffle fries were so good and the shakes were pretty good. There are a lot of dessert options to try. read more

Don't let the fun, convenient, quaint scene fool you when it comes to these drive-in burger spot. You get more than meat thrown on a grill. The potato buns have always been fresh when I come here and the service is aware of their small business, they hustle hard but don't be rude, they mean their business -- the best and only drive in spot around. I have a special admiration for their special sauce, they rid of the usual thousand island version and instead have a zingy, slightly horseradishy, garlic aioli that's amazing on literally everything. Onion rings aren't breaded in house but they're consistently cooked to perfection. That's one thing about this place that brings me back; it's consistency on top of its affordability and convenience as a late night local spot. The cool thing about this spot is the ice cream parlor attachment, they have a great selection of quality local creamery and offer a variety of treats. I tend to come at night and enjoy their lakeside property for a sunset view. Only complaint about that area are the spiders and bugs on the benches. read more

Nope. Never Again. Poor Quality Food and Poor Service. This place will not last. Overcooked, dry, under seasoned burgers. Fries and onion rings tasted of Dirty cooking oil. Waste of time and money. read more

OH YEAAA! we were just cruising along looking at the lake to our right, when my son said "stop the car, there is Big Dip". I said why? he explained that co-workers told him about the great burgers here, and he had forgotten it was across the street from the lake. So in we went on a rather chilly evening. your order at the window, pay the man, and wait for your mouthwatering delight. it was clearly and old drive in at one time, it is now more of a Permanent food truck with a few picnic tables. We noticed many eating in their cars. Our order was called and we sat at a table and started in. all you could hear was "oohhh, Awesome, this is great"... the burgers were cooked to perfection, seasoned, and matched perfectly with the buns... Way past expectations, this has a cult like following. read more

Finally got a chance to try this place, as had ridden past it a few times this past summer on the motorcycle. Was curious about it and wish I would have stopped in before. The gentleman at the front window was friendly and the ordering was easy. He brought the cheese burger and Cajun waffle fries out to the car. The food was very good as the single burger was a 5 ounce formed patty that was ideally grilled and the Cajun waffle fries tasted very good. They offer shakes and ice cream there, of which will try next time. Would definitely come back here to dine again! read more

Great burgers!!!! Huge and delicious. Fries were crispy.... Onion rings were awesome. Only reason I didn't give five stars was the desert/ice cream -- chocolate tasted funny and chalky... kids all tossed theirs out. I will definitely come back for burgers!!! read more

Our company is local in this area, we do 10-12 person orders regularly to support our crew. We love supporting local business with good food. The reviews listed the burgers as being really good, we thought we would give them a try. I called the day prior to confirm a few things-being able to take an order of that size, timing to call in or place order online, and what forms of payment, along with their hours. I called my order in 45 minutes prior to needing a pick up. I was told by the wonderful Alex that " no idea when we could pick it up, an order this size will take up his whole kitchen". I ask "what do we do wait for you to call me, do I show up in 45 minutes what's the program? " He couldn't tell me when we could pick up the order. I ask if he wanted the order has said "at this point NO" Wow, your local business must be doing well! He informed me he was the mgr, and that whoever i spoke with the day prior could've been anyone including a 15yr old. There is more but you get the jist at this point. Sad that a local establishment treats customers this way. Alex, Please don't bother responding with your excuses, I have seen your responses to other complaints you need a lesson in how to run a business without your cocky attitude. read more

The burger was perfection and having a Rootbeer float to wash it down even better. Glad to see that with the change in ownership since the old Tom's Rootbeer stand days, the quality has kept up! And let's be honest any burger tastes better with a view of the lake... read more

I have been to big dip burgers several times since they opened and each time my burger is excellent. I highly recommend this place.

Burgers really good!! Chicken dippers are a hybrid chicken nugget/tender. Most pieces are larger than average nugget but a quarter of a tender. Breading more on the nuggets side. Kids liked them along w the burger. Waffle fries are good but could use some seasoning. I had the double classics burger. I'm impressed w the patty sizes. Juicy greasy burger, YUM!. The big dip sauce is unique. A good compliment to the burger. Idk if it oniony, garlicky or horseradish-y. My wife had the jalapeños burger. She swapped the pepperjack cheese for the ghost pepper cheese. She said it had a good kick she liked it. Not too much heat to handle Now dessert, the s'morey night is a beautiful sweet piece of art. Delicious soft serve vanilla custard, hot fudge, mini marshmallows , graham cracker cereal (my fav, I would do extra next time), chocolate chips, and whipped cream makes for a great ending for a good meal. Custard was nice and creamy. A good size to share too! read more

Family went out to eat here all our food smelled so good. Had the best chicken sandwich ever. And the ice cream was good too!

Was searching for a local place that served dairy free ice cream and decided to give this place a try. Great location directly across from the lake (beautiful view when it was sunset time). Parking is limited to less than 10 spaces, so it can be a bit tricky if you go during the summertime on a hot, sunny day. It is a very small building with an ice cream trailer separate on the side. Ordering was simple; staff was very friendly. I asked if they had a blizzard (was looking for ice cream in a bowl with mix-in toppings.) I ended up with an Oreo shake instead of a sundae. Miscommunication somehow during the ordering, but my husband said the shake was delicious! The dairy free butter pecan was delicious! I highly recommend adding in waffle pieces like I did because it gave it even more flavor. Cost about $12 for the shake and sundae, so no different than Dairy Queen prices. There was only one employee working in the ice cream trailer, so it did take a little while to get the order. Will definitely be visiting again! read more

We went on a food adventure because the place we were trying to go was closed and ended up here. OMG the cheese curds!! Now this is how curds are supposed to be done!!! I think I ate the whole order myself. Their burger was nothing to write home about, but those curds---so good! read more

Decent food, nice location by the lake. I ordered over the phone for pickup. I got the Jakes Hot Mess Burger for myself and the Onion Burger for my boyfriend with a side of regular waffle fries and Cajun fries. I was also able to try the chocolate and vanilla swirl custard with a Yelp check-in deal for a free small custard (which no one seemed to know about)! I had big expectations after reading great reviews on Yelp and google, but wasn't very impressed when I actually tried it. The food overall was quite salty, especially the Cajun fries. The custard was smooth and creamy, but nothing too special. I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to eat here again, but it's worth a try if you're in the area and want to enjoy a meal under the nice weather by the lake. read more

they have such good burgers and the cheese curds are amazing! And a perfect spot by the lake

I ordered thru Yelp/w Grub hub and it was excellent! They catered to my special request of GF burger. Meat wasn't over cooked and was a good size. They made it pretty quick as well and customer service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend read more

food was amazing and service was even better. I had to call and tell them how good everything was once I was finished 10/10 highly recommend

Amazing!!!! Just like the other reviews state, this did not disappoint! I go the Albuquerque burger with waffle fries and it was slamming. This joint is right off the water so scenery is cool and they have great ice cream. My daughter and I enjoyed a day of sun and then stopped at this place. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place looks like a run down little dive, but think, "Diners, Drive-in's and Dives" and you'll see it's more of a local secret. Food is super flavorful! Onion rings, fries, burgers, chicken... all done right! A bit overpriced, in my opinion, but not by much. Definitely don't judge this place by how it looks on the outside. Good is delicious! read more
