I came here for Restaurant Week twice this week. The first time was so good, I had to come back while the deal was still on. I had the bacon cheeseburger with famous sauce, along with waffle fries and a mint chip shake. Let me just say the presentation here is unparalleled for a burger joint. The shakes come out with a beautiful drizzle around the glass and the hamburgers are stamped with the restaurant logo burned into the bun. The burgers are on the large side at 1/3 lb each. Everything tastes fresh. The waffle fries are positively crave-able, as is the mint chip shake, which tastes like an Andes mint turned into ice cream, complete with melty chocolate bits. And just to prove they've thought of all the details, the shakes come with thick straws so that you can actually sip them, unlike so many shake places. I discovered after I ordered that you can add malt for 50 cents, so malt lovers keep that in mind. Love #FamousHamburger and my #FamousExperience read more

I never leave reviews on things, but my god the burger I had here was one of the best burgers I've ever had by a pretty decent margin. The ambiance was a little off because there was a small amount of construction going on, but that did not detract from my experience. Staff was friendly and readily available. I know it seems small, but if you're in the area then this place is somewhere you need to check out read more

The wait staff here are always so friendly. I have had plenty of great experiences! My new favorite combination is the fiesta chicken burger with sweet potato fries! The burger is juicy, and combined with the guacamole, corn, tomato, black beans, etc. I would love to see this recipe be combined in a wrap or nachos. My son likes to get their sliders. I have tried their strawberry milkshake and it was amazing! They usually have a burger and shake of the month that always look so good. Their inferno burger is really good as well! The interior is comfortable with booths to fit 4 and larger booths to fit 6 or more (if you have little ones). There are also a few tables that can be pushed together for larger crowds. Since this is in West Dearborn, the only parking options you have are on the side in front of the meters, or free parking structure right behind the building. This place is a must try! read more

Been here several times. A decent burger. The waffle fries are good. The chicken sandwich is good. The prices are a bit much for just a burger place. read more

Love love love this place! Enjoyed an early dinner here with the family - burgers, salads, and shakes! Place was clean and inviting - many booths by the window perfect for those Instagram pictures. The food was good too - the fiesta burger gave us major Mexican vibes and was amazing in a form of a burger. The salad was amazing and the shake was above and beyond! It was a hot day so we need our shakes! I'll be back soon! read more

Food is great, service is always good. Only downside to this is it's a massive grease bomb. Be prepared for stage 4 heartburn and a full stomach. However, if in the mood for a burger and fries it's well worth it. read more

This place offers variety of burgers and salad. I have been going to Famous Hamburger, since 2008. The inside decor attracts to little kid and the place specializes in salads and warps, which is great you can take a large group and picky eaters. I am not a big beef eater, so cannot tell you much on how good the beef burgers taste. On the other hand, chicken burgers are great! The chicken is juicy and cooked to perfection. I like grill Chicken burger in the Mexican burger and habernor burger. Crispy chicken burger with Buffalo sauce is good for the juicy Lucy and other burger styles. Also, their waffle and regular fries are good too. Personal preference, I like the west Dearborn chain the because not as loud and service is quicker. read more

The burgers were very juicy and flavorful, which is the most important thing. The waffle fries were good. Nothing to brag about, but they went well with the burger. No complaints about the staff, which is rare for food establishments. If we lived closer we would be coming here a lot more often. read more

First time since before corona and I have to say that the place was very clean, staff was cautious and wore masks and gloves. Food was very fresh and cooked perfectly. I ordered a BBQ BURGER with Sweet potato fries (MUST TRY)!!! read more

As far as burger spots go, I'd put this somewhere in the middle. Everything was ok but not memorable. I do appreciate the breading of the wings, good crunch to them but not covered enough in the sauce I had. read more

You know why the 5 stars? They don't charge for substitutions doe things I normally have to pay for. I have to watch carbs and calories, but sometimes I want a burger. They allow any burger to be lettuce wrapped without an extra charge. I mean it's like a whole head of iceberg with a burger in the middle. LOVE IT. I like the Juicy Lucy or the California with the black bean salsa . Yum. Also, you don't have to get fries! They offer various sizes. I like the house salad. It comes with pumpernickel croutons! And ita spring mix, not just romaine and iceberg. Also, the Fattoush salad dressing is homemade. And AMAZING. I love this place for a quick but high quality burger. I've also ordered the fish and chips here during lent. The crust on the Fish was amaZing. read more

Great spot for a late night meal. The restaurant has an upbeat and bright atmosphere. I've received amazing service both times that I've been. The food here is always served fresh off the grill. The mushroom burger is very juicy and the bun is perfectly toasty. On my most recent visit I ordered a burger meal for pick up and realized how "to-go-able" the food here is! The burger and hot toppings were put in one container while all the cold toppings (vegetables) and condiments were neatly organized in another. They specialize in burgers and the burgers have not let me down. Consistently good food and great service! read more

I wish I had known about this chain when it was practically across the street from my neighborhood... not that West Dearborn is far... #1 best thing I have had here is their Waffle Fries. Hot, crispy, well seasoned, and really hard to share! Also; wallah bro, the Falafel Burger! I have had the beef burgers too and they are dang good, but man is this one full of flavor and goodness... Whenever I try going back to a vegetarian diet, I go for this one, and there is not a thing I miss about a regular burger. We've dined in once, but we usually get carry-out. They pack things right so that everything doesn't get all soggy en-route. I think we'd dine in more (and I'd add a star) if the staff (mostly young men) was a bit less rowdy near the kitchen area. At least, watch the language when you practice your rap skills. There are people seated within earshot bro! Update, added a star because of the awesome reply by the owner! LOL! read more

This review is quite a bit behind, but I went with my family to Famous Hamburger on Michigan Avenue in West Dearborn last month for my brother's birthday dinner. We dined there during the week in the evening with a group of about 10. I can't compliment our server enough. She was so extremely kind and polite and didn't get irritated with our obnoxious method of ordering ;) We also had a cake that she brought out and offered to cut for us all well. They put it in the fridge for us during dinner and we didn't have any issues. The food was great also. I had the Southern Chicken Wrap with grilled chicken rolled with lettuce, cheddar cheese, avocado and salsa in a lawash rollup. I skipped out on the tomatoes and red onions. I got sweet potato waffle fries with it and they were excellent! The wrap was $9.49! We were there for Dearborn Restaurant Week, so everything was super cheap, but it's very reasonably priced overall. I'd love to go back! I'd also recommend this restaurant for a family outing. read more

This is a good spot to grab a good burger. I've been here three times and they have never disappointed burger wise. The burgers have always been cooked perfectly along with the fries. The burgers are always tasty with the artisan bun, crunchy lettuce, pickles, and onion. As for the rest of what you can expect the restaurant is clean, decor is pleasing nothing fancy or over stimulating, and I've always had a very friendly staff experience. read more

Service and food ain't good, it was slow and as if I was servicing myself. The food was bland for the price, reminded me of a expensive McDonald's. The waitress was dull and dead inside with barely any assistance. read more

Santa Fe chicken burger: huge, delicious, despite the blended-like guacamole that looks like it was squeezed out of a tube. Waffle fries: very good. Cole slaw: very good. Regular fries: meh. Onion rings: gross! Swiss mushroom burger. Pretty good. Cooked to order, good Swiss cheese but oh for the love of the culinary gods why canned mushrooms?! Spongy -- I should have thought to ask before ordering--but the menu says gourmet! Not. Decor: meh. Pricing: ok. Menu clarity and selection: good. Ambiance / comfort: ok. Service: terrible. This is the reason for three stars not four. Two servers for the entire place, but it wasn't busy. Our server disappeared after putting down our food, and the other server's tables were largely empty, yet slowly - very slowly - he cleaned up his tables and walked past ours probably 10 times without saying a word. Our server seemed quite busy filling her section with more customers. It was 6:30 PM on a Wednesday evening. We finally stopped the one guy and asked if we could get a carry out bag. Right at that very moment, our server appeared. Then she brought our bill, took my card, and disappeared for another six minutes. No manager in sight. Lousy service. read more

I have only been here once and I would say the burger was decent. The presentation was nice, the burger looked great but I felt the meat tasted bland and lacked seasoning.

HALAL HAMBURGER IN DEARBORN! Theres a parking garage next to it so that's definitely not an issue and it's free parking! It was a cold chilly night and we walked in for some Halal hamburgers. There seemed to be only one server serving while making an attempt to clean the place and tables looked overwhelming so I'd understand why they're not smiling and greeting you as you walk in. The interior is comfortable with booths to fit 4 and larger ones fit 6. Cozy big fast food chain and somewhat packed. We ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger with sweet potato waffle fries (THE BEST) and had the Juicy Lucy with waffles fries too. Both were JUST PERFECT. Right amount of ingredients, sauces and the patties were juicy and flavorful! Big Texas style burgers served with crispy fresh waffle fries def beat any chick fill a or fast food chains and I can't wait to be back!!! read more

Had dinner with a few of my friends there tonight...we ordered our food at 8:30pm and by 9:15pm we were getting a little restless. My server passed by and I asked "any update on our food?" And her response was "we're busy but you can go To the kitchen and help them." I was shocked at her rudeness. A simple sorry let me go check and see what's up would have avoided this 1 star review. It was even that busy. Food was good but the service is trash. read more

I ordered the fish sandwich with waffle fries and coleslaw. I enjoyed all of it. We also had the fried egg burger. The burger is what makes this place "famous" but I can't figure out why. The burger was not seasoned well at all. It was rather bland. I expected much more after reading the reviews. The cheesecake milkshake with Snickers bar pieces was y-u-m-m-y. For me, the milkshake was the winner at Famous Hamburger. Our waitress was very visible. She came to our table multiple times, but they were very close together. There was only one other table occupied when we arrived so maybe she needed something to do. read more

Staff is always friendly here food comes out fast and they have a good milk shake Nice place to visit to dine in or carry out.

We were out and about trying to get some dinner and Famous Hamburger claimed to have the best. It wasn't bad, but not anything to come back for honestly. The fries were super hot, that was a plus, but the burgers were cold and didn't have much flavor. We had everything from Juicy Lucy burgers to grilled cheese. So it wasn't like just 1 type or something. The fried motz was a bit overcooked as was the Bavarian pretzels. The milkshakes were decent. Would we go back if in the area, probably not. read more

Overall, I like this place. I've been twice for lunch but this was my first time coming for dinner. I ordered the mushroom burger, minus the Swiss cheese sub cheddar, order of waffle fries (my favorite cut of fry) and a fattoush salad (as my starter). My food was good. Although, I'm not sure why I was asked how I wanted my burger cooked (I prefer medium ) because it came back well done. My service was efficient. That's the best way to describe it. My waitress was not friendly and she didn't engage in small talk. She took my order, delivered my food, checked on me once and delivered my check. Very robot like. I wanted to order a milk shake ( I like the shakes here) for the ride home but the robot set my check down and disappeared until I pulled out the money to pay. I'll stick to coming here during the lunch hours because the staff is friendlier. read more

You can't go wrong coming to famous for a meal. The food is always good, the staff is very nice. You will find lots of families dinning in. I ordered a famous burger with bacon on it, it was pretty good, nothing to die for but a little above average so not a bad choice. The presentation of the burger is what made the experience awesome. It literally looked like the display picture 10/10. This is the first burger place I go to where presentation was shockingly good. After all you do eat with your eyes first. I'll leave a picture for you guys. I gave it a 4 outa 5 cause if u bring ur family it's gonna get a little expensive and it's not perfect yet. Definitely recommend trying this place at least once! read more

I feel like this place has potential but something is a bit off. I've been there twice- each time it was dead, there were a few servers standing around and it was kind of dirty feeling - straw wrappers on the floor, sticky tables. The food is ok- not bad but not great. I did enjoy the falafel burger for a vegetarian option. The salads are decent as well. The shake was a huuuuuge disappointment. They look way more beautiful than they taste. It was very watery and blah. I'd take a McDonalds shake any day. Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't choose to go here again. read more

A friend and I had lunch at Famous Hamburger, and we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The burgers were top notch, as well as the French fries. I like my fries plain, with just salt... if they're good fries, they don't need anything else, in my opinion. These needed nothing else. Same goes for the burger. I ordered the California burger and with the exception of ordering it with cheddar instead of the standard American "cheese", I didn't have to add or take away anything from this burger. Great straight out of the gate! My only complaint is that they do not salt the fries right out of the fryer, so by the time they get to you, the salt from the shaker on the table just kind of bounces off of them. They were still good, but would probably be better if they were seasoned right off the bat. And I figure, if that's my only complaint, this place rocks! Can't wait to come back! read more

Delicious! Another great burger joint to satisfy your tastes. They have a boatload of options to choose from. I went with the Juicy Lucy, which was a little greasy from the double party and large amount of cheese, but that is to be expected. Waitresses were attentive and the manager was walking around making sure everyone was satisfied. Will be back the next time I am in town! read more

After all the great reviews and this place being across from my all time favorite La Fork I decided to give it a try. I had the special of the month PB&J cheeseburger with waffle fries. Everything was very good and the service was excellent. Historically Millers had the reputation in the area for the best burgers I think that ship sailed years ago. The ground beef they used here at Famous burgers reminded me of the old millers burger it was excellent and the burgers where huge. If your in the mood for a great burger then this is the place to go in Dearborn. read more

Eaten from here many times and always the same issue. Burger patties are always bland with no seasoning or flavor. Last night I placed an order and told the woman who took my order to please make sure the burger was seasoned with salt and pepper, it wasn't. Tasted like it always does. The patty also always tastes like water and I got the impression that the patties are frozen and defrosted fast. No other reason for them to taste like that. Fries are good though. read more

Burger was tasty and very quick out of the kitchen. Washed it down with a milk shake. Worth the stop.

Was not very impressed at all. The pictures on the website and instagram are very misleading. I would give one star if the service wasn't good. But it was. The milkshake was pretty generic. Got the juicy Lucy was expecting it to ooze cheese and it did not. The burger itself was bland, try some seasoning maybe? The tater tots did not taste that great I feel like they were the frozen from a grocery store dropped in a deep fryer variety. Went once no need to go back. Place is definitely overhyped. read more

Everything that is good about the original location on Shaffer has been replicated here in busy West Dearborn. The sandwiches are great - I love the Juicy Lucy and the California burger, covered in fresh avocado. Probably my favorite aspect of the place is being able to swap out french fries for a super fresh Caesar salad - and it's not a tiny side salad, either. It makes me feel better about pigging out on a fat half pound burger :) The service has been great both times I've eaten at this location. Frequent drink refills, prompt food served piping hot. My only complaints are that parking is rough for this location - the lot across the street specifically says they'll tow you if you park there and go to Famous Hamburger - which means you are stuck in the parking garage a couple blocks away, although at least the garage is free now! You can try to grab a spot in front of Moose's and iBurger Lounge if you're feeling lucky. Also - this isn't a cheap lunch place. The food is high quality, the buns are great, but you're paying for it. A burger, fries, and a drink will run you upwards of $12, so lunch for me is usually $15 with tip. Definitely check out this place, whether you're a fan of the original or just looking for a delicious, unique burger joint in West Dearborn. read more
