NOM NOM NOM!! Oh wow! I feel like the last one to find out about this place! SOOO good! Hubs and I ordered different sliders so we could try everything. The poutine is REALLY good. Real poutine gravy with cheese CURDS! The only bummer was the type of fries they use...but the awesome gravy and cheese curds totally made up for them! The sliders were great! I think my fav was the fried chicken! A really nice piece of chicken, covered in panko and fried, then smothered in maple syrup! Sweet and salty! Mmm. I also had the Philly cheesesteak and the ribeye in it was soo tender and had a nice beefy taste. I also had the BBQ Bacon, the sweet potato on it was nice...gave it just a nice taste and the BBQ sauce was tangy and sweet with good quality bacon and a nice beef patty! Everything was amazing. Service was very friendly and very polite. Cannot wait to come back here!! Loved it! read more

I love their variety of sliders and menu items! Their poutine fries were my favorite without a doubt. I also really enjoyed their bread pudding. So tasty! My first drink was a tad too strong, but my second drink definitely made up for it! The atmosphere was open and good vibes, the interior was charming and the women's rest room was cute and clean, which is definitely a plus. read more

I went to the city with some friends to meet up with other friends on a Friday night. This place was packed. There was about an hour wait to get in. I guess the secret is out. So, this place serves sliders, sides and drinks. Everything is a la carte and about $2-3 each, even the drinks. The menu has a large variety of sliders from fancy, to ethnic, to plain, to vegetarian. I had the korean which was a burger with peanut butter and kimchee. It smelled bad but tasted delicious. I also got fried bologna which was tasty. I was impressed that the drinks and beer were only about $3 each. They had some great cocktails. The beer selection looked good. Overall, I thought the whole experience was great. I would like to come back when it was less busy but despite the chaos I thought the service and food was great. read more

This place is so awesome. $3 cocktails which are all really nice. First time I tried a Moscow mule yummy!! The sliders are all great. Always always try the mystery meat -- it was rabbit when I had it. Also had a Kim chi burger which is what you'd expect. Fried chicken burger was nice and had some maple syrup on the bottom, score! Bacon cheese slider was okay. Gosh I ate a lot of sliders. Anyway, come here and enjoy!!!! The wait for the bar was easy. read more

Small plates galore! $3 food and $3 cocktails, wait wut? If I remember correctly all the food on the menu was $3... slider burgers, fries, side dishes, desserts, etc. I think I got overly excited and ordered quite a bit with the initial thought of how "cheap" everything was, but 3 sliders, a side of fries, 3 or 4 rounds of drinks still adds up quite quickly. Either way, still super fun to order a bunch and have to eat your way thru it all to make room for drinks. Expect to spend around $10 - $15 to have a full meal. While here, I tried their Alpaca burger special, Korean, & gyro sliders, & venison (aka Bambi) chili cheese fries. I enjoyed the alpaca slider the most as the meat was quite flavorful and tender. The Korean slider was a bit weird combination between the peanut butter and kimchi. Gyro was pretty good too and the bambi chili cheese fries were money. Definitely a fun spot to hit with a group of friends to munch and drink. I'd put in your orders in bulk as the service is a bit on the slow side. Either way I'd definitely come thru again or recommend if I were in the area. 'Til next time, cheers! read more

There is a location in Lansing that I was hoping to try, however they were closed at the time due to some flooding so I was excited when my friend suggested this place when I was visiting her in Detroit. We arrived on a Friday evening so it was not surprising that we had to wait for a table. However, they have drinks available and a heated outdoor area to wait on. We were seated within 30 mins which was just enough time for us to have our drinks and catch up a little. The dining area is not very big, so it was a little crowded but still manageable. I was initially skeptical that these little $2-$3 items would be substantial as a meal, but they definitely were. We got the Cajun and Truffle Oil fries, Mac and Cheese, Green Goddess Salad to share and I personally got the Cheeseburger and Grilled Cheese sliders. Everything was delicious and I was actually full at the end of our meal. Also, our total bill came out to only $30! Highly recommend and I will definitely be back if I'm in the area. read more

In town visiting family for a couple of weeks so I finally took the time to check out Green Dot Stables. It had been recommended to me by a friend a year or 2 ago, I bookmarked it, but never got around to getting here... until now. Seeing it has 1,500+ reviews with an average rating of 4 solid stars must say SOMETHING about this place. So does it need another 5-star review? Of course it does! Atmosphere/Appearance: Kind of off the beaten path is this oasis of a restaurant. As you drive toward downtown Detroit you sort of steer away from the big buildings with bright lights and toward the more dimly lit streets and warehouses. Wondering where you're going you'll come upon this place on the corner, brightly lit up well... because it's Detroit. Lol. A gravel paved private parking lot welcomes you, which is always a plus so you don't have to worry about pesky street parking. Once inside you're greeted by a very vintage setting. Dim yellow lights hang from above while lots of brown wood fill the floors, walls, chairs and tables. I sat at the bar since I was alone and the tables in the dining area seemed to be full. Service: There were 2 guys at the bar taking care of me. I remember Evan's name, but not the other one. They were both awesome. So friendly, informative, helpful and made sure I had everything that I needed. They even made some great recommendations for me being a first-timer. Food: So I came hungry. I was able to try 5 of their Sliders (what they're known for) and 2 sides. Starting with the sides, I went with their roasted sweet potato salad. It's a cold concoction of sweet potato chunks, drunken cranberries, pepitas and Colman's Mustard Vinaigrette. It was very delicious. Fresh, flavorful and much lighter than I imagined sweet potatoes to be. My 2nd side was their kale salad. A simple kale salad with quinoa, lemon and shallots. It was cool. I have no idea what I was thinking or expecting ordering kale, but I just knew I needed to eat SOMETHING healthy so that I could feel better/offset the rest of the stuff I was getting ready to eat. It was decent, tasted like kale... with lemon. Lol. So, my favorite of the slidersI had was the classic... Cheeseburger of course. Meat, cheese, onions and pickles between 2 slices of bread. Absolutely delicious. I asked what the most popular slider they served was and this was it. I can see why. Next favorite was the Gyro. Savory gyro lamb meat, juicy tomato and mint Tzatziki sauce are the stars of this slider. It was fantastic and reminded me of the good ol' gyros served at the Coney Islands Detroit is known for. #3 was their "Mystery Meat" special which they change up every week. This week's was spiced lamb, pico de gallo and house creme. Pretty good, not bad, but certainly seemed experimental. #4 was the Philly Cheesesteak. It was DELICIOUS, but OH SO MESSY. Seared rib-eye, grilled peppers, onions and squeeze cheese. Lol, I didn't feel good eating this one, but it tasted freaking fantastic. Last but not least was their Almond Duck Tender Slider. In between the buns are Maple Leaf Farms orange glaze, chow mein, scallion and of course, the duck. I got the vibe that this one was Asian themed, but it was my least favorite (hence why I named it last) and it just tasted all over the place. The duck didn't taste like any duck I've ever had and it was just okay. Not nasty or anything, just... not what I expected. Collectively the the food I had was delicious and I'd love to try out some more of their menu. Value: CHEAP. Like, the good kind of cheap. I didn't have any drinks, but they have an entire menu of $3.00 cocktails, $3.00 drafts and $2.00 bottles. That's like, dirt cheap. The only way to get it cheaper is to go buy the case yourself. Lol. Each of my sliders were $3.00 with the exception of my cheeseburger which was only $2.00. My whole tab was $20.00 and I ATE. I feel the normal-sized person could easily come here and spend about $10.00 to leave very happy. In conclusion, this place was awesome and very worthy of it's prestigious title. I'd absolutely come back here... when I'm not super conscious of trying to stick to a specific eating regimen. Lol. Come check this place out and indulge a bit. read more

My sister and I came here recently for our lunch date. We got there right when they opened and got seated right away. There is limited indoor seating, but they also have outdoor seating as well. Although it has been awhile the food is still good, especially their truffle and herb fries and clam chowder. read more

GDS was one of the recommendation made by a few awesome Detroit Yelpers as place I should try. I'm glad that they were right as I really liked it. Driving to GDS was exciting being not from here I thought I was crossing into Canada. I didn't have my passport on me but being so close I wanted to cross. Anyways we arrived 10 mins before GDS opened so spent the time looking at pics and doing some research. Once inside and seeing all the horse and stable decor only then I'd put it all together. I didn't even notice the Stables word in the establishments name only Green Dot. I kind of liked it, it was cool to me. What makes GDS a favorite of mine and a bunch of others is that not only are the food cheap but delicious. Each month they have a mystery meat slider when I was there the mystery meat slider was turkey topped with greens and turnip chips. After talking to the server I found out that the pork belly slider was a mystery meat slider special so they don't have it all the time and they use to have the curry chicken slider on the regular menu but they got rid of them but might bring it back as a mystery meat slider. The main reason I wanted to try GDS was for their pork belly sliders http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/NcM6ASYzFMDN366FsuBTVw?select=7gJXEVdjox1XCbcMZfv4Bg#k4PxsQIwxfcHG6q2mjF7tA it looked soooo good. Each item is no more that $3 so you can sample a lot of everything. We ordered a few and enjoyed them. We had the truffle and herb fries, venison chili cheese fries, BCT slider bacon cucumber tomato sauce aioli, Korean slider beef patty peanut butter kimchi, and another slider which I forgot what it was but they were all so delicious. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/NcM6ASYzFMDN366FsuBTVw?select=7gJXEVdjox1XCbcMZfv4Bg#DtPJu-SKipAODkF133h7OA When I'm back in Detroit I will definitely stop by GDS. Hopefully pork belly sliders will be on the menu but if not that's still fine. I also recommend GDS YUMMM read more

Reasonable prices and super tasty food! Great place to stop for dinner or just drinks when you're downtown. I don't come here as often as I'd like to, but I remember this place always being a friendly atmosphere with efficient service too. Multiple dining locations as far as inside or the beer garden. Can't wait to come back! read more

Phenomenal sliders in every shade, color & flavor. And at this crazy price, you can try them all. Speaking of crazy - sometimes the wait is just that & is probably worsened by COVID. But GDS is a Detroit INSTITUTION & you must go. Cheap beers, occasionally surly attitude by some of the servers, but they're not here to be your friend. Keep moving, y'all! Oh, and you MUST try the BEST shoestring fries in the world. GO!! read more

Why haven't I been here sooner?! I've always heard amazing things about Green Dot, but I never took the time out to enjoy it myself. Boyfriend and I stopped in around 8PM on a Wednesday night. Parking was limited, which we expected. We parked on the side street and didn't have any issues. I love the old style saloon feel of the restaurant. Chairs and booths were rather small, but I overall felt very relaxed and cozy. We loved the many options of sliders and picked 4 in total (Cuban, BBQ Bacon, Fried Chicken, and PB&J) Its hard choosing a favorite because THEY WERE ALL SO GOOD! Each amazingly tasty in their own way. The PB&J had an extra zing that completely changed my world (and this is coming from a woman who eats PB&J sandwiches everyday for lunch.) The bacon on the BBQ Bacon was cooked to perfection and was certainly crispy to our liking. The fried chicken slider included the freshest piece of fried chicken I've ever tasted and the syrup was a perfect pair. The chili cheese fries were always a decent size to split and easily a win as well. Halfway through our meal we looked at each other and said "So, when are we coming here again?" Needless to say our stomachs left full and our wallet was happy. 2 drinks, 4 sliders, and a side of fries for $15. read more

What a find! Went for lunch on a Saturday morning just before noon. Just west of downtown Detroit on a VERY deserted street (bank, Burger King, bunch of boarded up buildings). Was a bit worried driving into the parking lot (as there was only one other car at the time). Walked through the door into a bar like atmosphere - lot of green and horse racing gear. Two page menu - very simple. Gourmet sliders are what you come here for. They were very reasonably priced - usually $2 to $3. There is a mystery meat burger that changes weekly. Tried three sliders PLUS venison fries. They were all quite good. The Korean slider was amazing (kimchi and believe it or not - PEANUT BUTTER). Mystery meat burger certainly worth it - it was pork the day I went. Others have complained about service - no problems here. Perhaps this is a function of how busy the restaurant is - certainly was not when ate there. Overall, very affordable and satisfying meal. Only downfall is its location - in the middle of nowhere! Definitely have to go back and try the other sliders! read more

Green Dot does not look like much from the outside. Set in a lonesome area in Detroit, it does have it's own parking lot. Inside is a different story. Green Dot has a cool, relaxed vibe. My brother and I tried a couple different sliders. I loved the gyro and the mystery meat (Kobe beef on my visit). I also tried the fried chicken and thought it was okay. The chicken was a bit too thick for the bun. There was also too much of the honey-like sauce on it, a little went a long way. My brother really liked the buffalo chicken. The regular burger is good as well. We did not have any issue with dry buns, luckily. My brother also had the Cajun seasoned fries, nothing special. The poutin was better, but the cheese curds needed to be melted more. Other places in the area have superior poutine. Everything is under $5. Which seems cheap, and fit can be, especially for the drinks, but it can add up. read more

I love love love this place. Great selection! Cheap food! Cheap cocktails! What a great place to sample many different sliders. All burgers are a la carte and reasonably priced. You can't go wrong with the $3 cocktail menu. The restaurant looks and feels like a dive bar, but the quality of the food is excellent. On a recent Thursday evening I had no problem getting a table. On weekends, I have had to wait at the outdoor bar/patio for a table to become available. read more

This was my second time going here. I went to a Tigers game and wanted to eat dinner downtown after the game. My boyfriend had never been there. We had nothing but issues and didn't even stay to eat our sliders. Our server was named Gabi. She got my boyfriends beer order wrong twice and then argued with us over what he ordered. Then proceeded to tell us if we complained to the manager she would tell the manager to cut us off. I was so offended and embarrassed by this. We spoke to the manager, of course, and told her everything that happened. While she offered to comp what we ordered, we declined and paid for what we had consumed to that point. Worst service ever. I would never go back. It is my hope that this server loses her job for this. This server never listened to what was ordered and then blamed us for the mistake. So long Green Dot Stables I'll never see you again!! read more

3.5 stars. Food was amazing. Service was terrible. Order didn't get put in so it took about an hour to get our food. Management came and gave us free passes for next time. read more

Friendly staff. Good selection of tasty sliders, each sold separately so you can try a variety. Average 4 sliders per adult. Fries were fabulous. As you're eating you'll find that you will add a couple more sliders to your tab before you ask to cash out. Beer was cold. Back patio with a bar in case there's a wait. Weekends are very busy, but worth the slider experience. read more

I've been coming here for at least a decade. Drinks are always good. Quality ingredients. But food portions have gotten way out of hand. They used to be decent sized sliders for a good price. Now they give you a piece of chicken the size of a chicken nugget on a bun and charge you $4.55 for it. Two bites. $4.55.. you feel ripped off when you leave. read more

If you are into sliders and different variety, I recommend coming to Green Dot Stables. They have so many options and my girlfriend and I explored six different sliders (Mystery Meat - Lamb Slider, Fried Chicken, Philly Cheesesteak, Fried Catfish, Cuban, and Bologna). My favorite slider was the Lamb Slider, although the garlic paste was very strong. The fried chicken slider could have use more syrup. A good recommendation which I'm sure they tried was a breakfast slider. The fries were good. We had the truffle and herb and venison chili cheese. Definitely order some boats, if you like to eat. read more

Everything was good like always except our server was grumpy, not personable and the vibe I felt was that she hated her job.

Low key atmosphere. We came here after a lions game. My friend and I ordered 10 sliders and a side of fries. We split them all and throughly enjoyed each one!! Unique flavors on the menu. Would definitely stop by again! read more

Green Dot is an outstanding spot, whether for a full dinner or just a snack with cocktails. Creative rotating menu selections, delicious fries, and the chicken / maple syrup slider is 100% my fave. We love it, thanks for always providing both great food and great service. read more

Green Dot Stables - Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I'm wondering where I should take this review. One note you must know is to bring a calculator. The food and drinks on one hand are really cheap and good, but the way they handle the billing system is crazy. So I went here with more then one person here, as most people do not eat alone. The issue here is that they won't spilt the checks. They give you a pen a paper and you need to calculate how much each persons bill is. FYI - Be prepared to eat your fries before you eat your burger. read more

Always good food good atmosphere just a little pricey for a slider but I guess everyone is getting pricey those days.

Great place with a variety of sliders. All of them are unique, except the classic cheeseburger which is also a must. My favorite was the Korean. An interesting mix of peanut butter and kimchi. You'll need 5-6 to get full. The fries are also pretty good, thin cut and well seasoned. It can get busy at times, but always worth the wait. read more

Sliders were good, but the fries did not come until I was already done with my meal, still got charged for them. Small customer service things like this can put you off on a place. Hope they enjoyed the $3 that cost them a return customer read more

Green Dot Stables has reasonably priced drinks and sliders. I still haven't tried them all! Three sliders will make for a happy stomach. If you are feeling adventurous, you can try the "mystery meat" special (it was venison when I went there, once!). I also love their truffle and herb fries, which are thin, shoestring fries. They don't take reservations and the wait is around 30 min. However, you can order some drinks and wait outside in the covered back room, and the waiter will call you when your table is ready. read more

A detroit staple for a reason!!! Sliders for the win! My boyfriend and I got a huuuuge variety of sliders and shared bites of everything. 9 different sliders between the two of us and each one was perfect. Our bartender made me the best liberator gin and tonic I have EVER had... I'm usually a Gilbys or Beefeater girl. The atmosphere is chill, bar stools that my 5'5" legs don't dangle from... Perfect, especially after all those gin and tonics read more

Probably one of the best restaurants in Detroit. It's a very unassuming atmosphere and it makes for a great, relaxed dining experience. I love how creative the sliders are and that there's always a surprise on the menu with the "mystery meat" option. read more

They suck ass , I asked for manager it took the server a hour to find him whole time outside , and the server racist asf !

If you go to Detroit and skip Green Dot, you're a moron. Simple as that. Post up at the bar and do NOT skip the peanut butter - kimchi burger. read more

Love this place. Cheap food and drinks without sacrificing great quality. My favorite is the fried chicken slider with the Korean slider as a close second. They do a mystery meat that is always very interesting. Last time it was a gator burger! read more

I really love the food and appreciate the place. Great staff and excellent service.

Food was mediocre at best, can't sit at the bar if you are waiting for a table, drinks were over priced. Would not recommend this place

I spot in Detroit I've been reading about for years, I finally had the opportunity to come in for dinner. The multiple options of sliders made it easy for my wife and I to split 8 of them. The cuban, corned beef, and fried chicken were my 3 favorite. The mystery meat that night was elk, which was delicious as well. Each slider is only about $2-3 which is perfect for what you get, and the a la carte menu makes it easy to try multiple different kinds for cheap. On top of that, their drinks are equally cheap, $3 for a beer or cocktail. The restaurant is small so expect a wait, however they have a nice outdoor patio that they keep warm in the winter which made time go by quick. I cannot wait to come back. read more

Green Dot Stables - Had to try a bunch! Top row- mystery meat (elk burger), corned beef, Korean. Bottom row- Cuban, slider burger, coney dog. Far right-gyro. - Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

My wife and I came here on a Monday around lunch time. We couldn't believe how packed it was. They have a parking lot but it was full so we parked on the street. They are located on the outskirts of cork town. Kind of sketchy area, not sure how you might feel in the evening. The building looks old and the interior looks the same. It has charm, like an old dive bar. Food is individual sliders. We were told 3-6 items per person. We each had 3 considering it was lunch plus fries and we were stuffed. Burgers were very good! There is a reason they were so busy. I did get one bacon burger and wish I hadn't, the bacon was just fat and no good at all. I am not docking them for this, but we had a debacle with our fries. Food took a really long time, our waitress apologized and mentioned some of the cooks were new. When we got our burgers we asked about the fries. Not sure if she forgot or the cooks, but the fries came out a good 10 minutes after our burgers. The burgers were gone by then, so we ate the fries by themselves. Our waitress took the fries off the bill as well as an additional $5 and apologized. We felt she went above and beyond to fix the issue. A great place to go grab a good slider, or 5 sliders! read more

Green Dot Stables - Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Green Dot Stables is a fun place to try a plethora of creative slider concoctions, and delicious sides for a relatively cheap price. Almost everything on the menu is $3...sliders, fries, soups, salads, and most drinks which can definitely add up as everything on the menu sounds incredibly delicious and you'll want to try it all. Expect it to be very busy when you visit and they don't take reservations. We had a party of five (pun not intended) and we waited a half hour to 40 minutes on a Friday night. They won't seat your group until all members of your party are present. It's a small space and gets fairly crowded so all parties waiting for a table waited in their enclosed patio, outside of the main restaurant. It did get a little cold out there. They had picnic tables and a small bar area so we grabbed a drink while we waited. I tried a caramel apple cocktail which again was only about $3 and was delicious. When we were seated, our waitress was very warm and friendly and explained the menu to us. The service was good and she checked on us throughout the meal, even though it was busy. The sliders menu rotates so every time you go, there may be some different ones on the menu. They have a mystery meat slider, which this time was a camel joe, camel meat, with white cheddar and potato chips, which sounded interesting. They had over 22 different sliders on the menu and I tried the BBQ bacon, Phily cheesesteak, fried chicken, and s'mores sliders. The fried chicken slider was my favorite and was dipped in maple syrup, reminiscent of chicken and waffles, yum! The s'mores dessert slider was really good, with warm chocolate, marshmallow and toasted bun. A couple of my friends tried the duck tenders slider which had an orange glaze, chow mein and scallions on it and they said it was really good. Green Dot also has lots of small sides including truffle and Cajun fries, poutine fries, salads, mac and cheese, parikash soup and more, all for about $3. I tried the truffle fries and they were very good. One of my friends tried the poutine which he said was good. All menu items are small which is great so that you can try a myriad of different items. Probably about three sliders and sharing a couple sides will quell your appetite. Green Dot has a derby, horse racing theme so of course I had to try the mint julep which was delicious. They have barn door style doors, horses painted everywhere and even horse racing splashed across their TVs. They have their own private parking lot which is also nice. Green Dot is a great inexpensive place to go with friends to try some creative tasty slider creations but they are insanely popular so be prepared to wait for a length of time. It definitely is worth it. read more
