    Burgers!
    Reenie M.

    OMG. Great food, service and wonderful music! Really really fun place. Free parking, A/C, what more could I want?

    Bologna Sandwich
    Greg B.

    I know this is a burger bar but I just had one of the best fried bologna sandwiches I've had in a while. The person I was with enjoyed the burger and of course it was delicious. But I had to try the bologna once. I'm glad I did. It was stacked high with nice crispy edges, a good dijonaise and cheese. Hey server was I'm fast and efficient nothing outstanding but generally good service. If you haven't been to this place decor will keep your eyes busy for a while. The vibe is definitely City, and the food is good. May I suggest that you go during the week because on the weekends it can get packed.

    We absolutely love this burger place! It's the perfect spot to eat outside on a nice day--the patio is awesome and very dog-friendly. The service is always super friendly, the atmosphere is great, and most of all, the food is incredible. I highly recommend grabbing a malt to go with your meal!

    This was probably about our 3rd time here but it had been probably almost 10 years since we here last. I'm happy to say the food - burgers and fries were just as good as I remembered. Service was excellent too. I got the bacon and cheddar burger, medium-well and it was cooked perfectly. They get such a great crust/sear on the outside while keeping it juicy. It's a great spot to stop by if you're visiting Michigan Central Station. It's like a diner meets a bar, so lots of fun vibes and great food and service.

    Tater Tot Poutine

    Tried this place out before a show at the Fisher Theatre. Has a cool old-school diner feel. They do have outdoor seating in the back for when the weather gets nicer. Our waiter was nice, but the service could have been better. My friend said that the best part of her meal was the milkshake. They have a lot of milkshake options - specialty and classic flavors. The French onion burger was alright, but nothing special. I upgraded my side to fried pickles, but they were mostly batter. The tater tot poutine and fried pickles were both very salty; I would not get them again.

    Our server was nice, and the food looked good, but it was awful. Our burgers weren't cooked thoroughly and we didn't feel well after eating. I won't be back.

    Turkey burger
    Carolina C.

    I came back and and got the California turkey. Everything from my last review still stand, that I love the vibes and the service. But this burger was a bit dry and I think it just needed another sauce to add some more depth to it.

    Truffle Burger
    Migdalia M.

    Ordered takeout - portion for one order of fries was sufficient for two people with the order of two burgers. Rodeo Burger (not pictured - sorry), delicious! Ingredients-The Cowboy Candy is caramelized jalapeños, also includes bacon, cheese sauce, bbq sauce and onion rings. Pictured - Truffle Burger, medium done also delicious and juicy. Cooked to temperature and it did not disappoint! Service was excellent, prompt and fast. Receptionist remembered who we were once we picked up the order, as she had recognized our voice. Take-out containers are also compostable!

    We came here on a super snowy frigid Sunday for a bite to eat before the Pistons game. This place isn't that big and most of the tables were occupied, but the bar had plenty of seating available so that's where we sat. My honey had been RAVING about their fried bologna sandwich. I am not a bologna person at all but he made me want to try it. He was absolutely correct, the sandwich was delicious. I had them hold the onions but other than that got everything it came with, along with fries and a s'more milkshake. The also offered boozy shakes and had a s'mores option for that but the liquor in it was either bourbon or whiskey and I wasn't in the mood for either. My honey got one also with onion rings. Our food came super quick and everything was piping hot. The sandwich was amazing, the djionaise on it really set the flavor off along with the toasted Texas toast bread. It came with smashed up better made plain chips on it but honestly it didn't need them. The sandwich was enormous, I had to cut it in half to tackle it. It also came with a cup of pickle slices, very tasty and tangy. My toes were abundant, hot, salty and crispy. The milkshake was huge and soooo good! Very creamy and decadent and the toasted marshmallow on top was the perfect touch, so gooey! My mother loves fried bologna sandwiches and I said I'm definitely coming back to bring her to try this one!

    "The Cheezy" Burgerand Seasoned Fries.

    After my tour of Michigan Central, stopped by Mercury Burger Bar for lunch. We were greeted immediately upon entering and offered the option to dine inside or outside. It was a little too warm so we opted to eat in the dining area. Restaurant was clean and there was a TV with the Detroit Tigers game on. Our waitress was very attentive and made menu recommendations. The food was hot and fresh! Very tasty. I'd dine here again.

    I had a cucumber gin-based drink that was refreshingly delicious but definitely strong. I ordered the truffle burger.. it was lightly seasoned, but the extra aioli gave it the flavor I was looking for. Overall, I wasn't impressed enough to go back.

    Food is fresh, tasty, and delicious!! Our service has always been terrific. This place takes you back in time. Clean and great music playing all the time. The best Hummers in town!! Enjoy Parking behind and street parking as well. Booths and bar seating.

    Hops and hoops at the Merc!

Nate and I stopped in on our most recent visit to Detroit and had a lovely experience. The space is tucked away but had a surprising amount of outdoor space--we were there in January but I'd love to come back in the summer. We were greeted right away and given a spot near the bar. The menu includes cocktails, lots of wine, and several tasty food options. It was quite busy inside, so it took a bit of time for our server to come over to us, but we weren't in a rush. They had ten cocktails on their list and I tried the bullet proof soul and Nate got the negroni alla perra. The ingredients list for some of the cocktails include things I've never heard of, but at a place like this, I just know it's going to be good. Our drinks were perfectly balanced and very tasty. We also ordered the mortadella sandwich to split--this was delicious. It was pretty messy, but worth it. It was perfectly toasted and full of mortadella. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and I would love to try more of the food options. Can't wait to visit again!

The music hits, the crowd is always lively, and it just feels like summer no matter what time of year it is.

The Long Islands are ON POINT. Strong, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Not watered down, not overly sweet -- just right. You definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth, and they're dangerously easy to sip. I love the overall vibe here. It's social, upbeat, and perfect for hanging with friends.

We made reservations in a weekend but it wasn't necessary at 5. What I didn't know what this theme is a pop up much like Miracle Bar around Christmas. The mugs are not really made for The Skip and can be found online for less. Most importantly is the drinks are not good. They're not spirit forward, they're full of mixers. Such a bummer because they do make good cocktails occasionally. We were one and done this evening due to the bad drinks and loads of people who brought their kids to this bar. The decor is great. Service is attentive and friendly. Not in a rush to return.

    This is an update to my previous review of HopCat Detroit…read more I still love the food and the lively, energetic ambiance here. The fresh, flavorful meals and the downtown vibe make it one of my favorite spots to grab a bite or hang out with friends. That said, I want to elaborate on my not-so-great dine-in experience from before. One night I decided to eat in, and while my waitress was genuinely nice and attentive, the experience took a weird turn when my meal was brought out. The guy delivering it just walked past me, dropped the plate on the table with a loud clank, and didn't greet me or even acknowledge me at all. It was jarring -- not only did it feel careless, but it completely broke the warm, fun vibe I'd come in expecting. On top of that, I had the app downloaded to earn rewards points, but my waitress never added them, which was frustrating enough that I ended up deleting the app. That one visit definitely stood out as an exception in an otherwise positive history with this location. Since then, I've had better experiences with staff, and the food and overall energy of the place continue to shine. Despite that one odd incident, I still highly recommend HopCat for the atmosphere, creative menu, and fresh food. I'll continue coming back and will share more updates (and pics) along the way.
