    Baked Ham sandwich on rye
    Caroline B.

    Great quick lunch. Friendly service. Will definitely be back. They also have a drive through. Only thing is french fries were slightly under cooked for me so I would get the well done next time!!!!! We will be back!

    A nearly empty bowl of Cole slaw, half of a patty melt and the generous, delicious French fries.

    Donna's Family Dining was a very happy surprise. We were heading to a different restaurant but it was closed and we found Donna's instead. Very basic inside, the decor was somewhat outdated. But it's a very clean place with a friendly, caring staff. We arrived 15 minutes before closing yet we were given caring service, not rushed at all. The cole- slaw was delicious, fresh, with plenty of dressing. We ordered patty melts- one med and one medium rare. The burgers were cooked perfectly served on a good rye bread. We ordered French fries and received a dinner sized platter of perfect and crisp French fries. We had Diet Pepsi in large glasses that we couldn't finish. Two of us ate for $22.00 and had enough leftover for dinner tonight. This little place was our best restaurant find in a long time!

    Alicia is a happy, cheerful waitress.. we ordered the chicken lemon rice soup, and turkey club pita and came with a platter of fries.. alot of food for 8.99.. A small place to eat for large group of people but nice for lunch or dinner for 2 or family of 4. WOW THIS PLACE HAS A DRIVE THRU, PROBABLY because it used to be a CVS. SENIOR DISCOUNT 2

    I remember when I tried the first Taystee Burger location in the Gas station in Dearborn back in…read more2016-2017 and thinking, "Man! That's a great burger!" Then I tried Dearborn Heights a couple of years later. Same thing!!! I just tried this location in Warren, and it's phenomenal too. I'm not sure why I didn't post reviews in the past. These folks know how to make a great burger and a successful restaurant. Halal, fresh, well-cooked, creative ideas for burgers. Fries are good, but its the burgers!!!! They've earned your trying it!

    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.

    Pretty solid place for a BYO burger option…read more I like all the options they offer....multiple proteins, buns, toppings and sauces. Everything was well prepared, meat temps were correct, buns were toasted and toppings were plentiful. If anything, you may want to be cautious on the BYO toppings because things can get sloppy if you add too many. We loved our apps as well, boneless wings and pretzels. Will definitely be back

    World's End was a decent bar/restaurant that was mostly known for its burgers. The service was…read morefriendly and efficient. The cheese sticks were above average. 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.

    The menu includes crafted burgers, even a healthy turkey burger, salmon, and one of the most amazing selections of beer in the area.

    Ayyy! Yelp will actually let me review something that's permanently closed, for the time being at…read moreleast. So very unsurprised by this closure. 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.

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.

The second time we went it was sooo slow. It took at least 15 min to get menus once we were seated and took about 45 min to get the food once the server came back to take our orders, which also took a while. It was 2pm on a Friday, and other than what looked like a wrapping up work lunch (they had checks and boxes for leftovers when we were seated) there were only 2 tables of guests, so the delay was not due to it being busy. That day I got a side salad and a chicken wrap. The salad was very good aside from coming with an item I asked to take off. I did ask for no tomato, as you can see in the pic, they were added. I didnt get pictures of the wrap, but it was very meh. I would not order it again. I did not like the BBQ sauce that was used. Very overly sweet and not a good flavor. I also found there to not be a ton of chicken, it was like a second salad... TONS of romaine. I believe the wrap was called Lakehouse Chicken Wrap. Side note. We were seated near open windows and the construction was. Abit loud, which was ignorable, however! there was a phone on the server station that was ringing CONSTANTLY. I have no clue what that was about, but it was so annoying. We did alert a server but nothing was done about it. Overall, I would go back but maybe just for apps and drinks. The drinks was well made and they had a decent beer selection as well. The look of the bar is nice and I hope they can stay open longer than some of the other places that have been there!
