5 stars for the staff! Had an incredible experience due to a staff member's level of service. He was exceptionally kind, very helpful, and so accommodating. We moved tables before ordering from inside to outside, and he made it happen with a smile on his face. Despite a big group, he was attentive and kept a friendly demeanor the entire time. I don't think I have had this friendly of a server in a very long time. Kudos to this staff member who is the reason why I'm writing this review! Plenty of seating, indoor and out. High tops and tables. Food has many options from burgers to salad, including gluten free options as well. Tator tots were 10/10! Thanks for an awesome experience! read more

Bad service and bad food. Highly recommend avoiding this place. The burgers are small and not anything like how they advertise them. Sickening read more

It was underwhelming. This place used to be great but the portions have shrunk to the point of being laughable. My burger was OK but much smaller than it used to be with about 8 fries with it. My son had the chili burger that had a very little cheese or chili with it - called a "Burger Island"(called this because there was "so much" chili and cheese on it - that it needed to be eaten with a fork as indicated on the menu - no utensils were needed lol). Waitress was nice but it took a very long time to get served because it was only her and a cook there. We could hear the yelling and swearing the kitchen for nearly the entire time we were there. It was just unprofessional and overall, not a great experience. read more

This is an amazing place! The food was SO well done , I ordered a hamburger medium and got that exact thing. That was different from other restaurants. The service was spot on . We had two little kids with us and they were so patient with us. This bar/ restaurant was so perfectly decorated. It was chill , relaxing but also able to be a party place! I definitely recommend this place for any meal! Enjoy! read more

Burgers were served raw so that the cook could come back out of kitchen to flirt with patron. Yelled at us when we sent the burgers back and then threw the plates onto the table when the food we returned. When we objected to his attitude, he threw us out. Would not recommend anyone ever visiting this location. We have had nothing but great food and great people at the other Detroit burger bar. read more

Always friendly and great burgers along with drinks. Will be back. TVs to watch the games.

it was a lot of barbecue sauce on the burger which was really juicy. I really like the burger service is very well. Very nice. how it was set out on the burger. The restaurant was very clean. The fries was good but cuda been cooked longer. read more

The hamburgers here are so good. I couldn't get over it. The ambiance is typical bar has outside seating which is great and our waitress was so good. She came back when she was supposed to definitely go back there again taste of the hamburger is really the best read more

Meh, nothing to write home about, Old lettuce, mushy old tomatoes, over cooked small portion of chicken with no flavor. Also asked if the jalapeños were fresh and not pickled, she said fresh...they were pickled and gross on a salad. When I opened the box to check I said the jalapeños are pickled and she just pretty much said oh yeah well and walked away. I think Biscuits and gravy which is around the corner is a better choice for salads. read more

Our waitress served all tables around us as we waited for entrees and never came to update us or check in. Each of these tables finished their meals and cashed out before our entrees even arrived. In the end, we basically sat around for an hour until we gave up and took our food to go (though we only asked for boxes with our food, not for a to-go order). Finally, there are bugs in my salad :)! Not implying causation whatsoever, but I'll mention that we did happen to be the only people of color in the building- take that as you will haha. As someone who works in food service, I've never in my life felt this negatively during a dining experience. Theyve inspired my first review ever for what thats worth! read more

Last Saturday the place was full but Service was slow. They weren't prepared for the bar crawl. We sat at a table that needed wiping down. No waitress ever came over to the table. Had to order drinks & food at the bar. The chicken tenders were beyond greasy. This was the first time I disliked spinach dip & they bbq sauce is not good! read more

Great place for burgers. Waitstaff was very good. Warning, if you want to sit outside expect a lot of traffic noise.

marty is the GOAT. love this place. karaoke on friday's. love this place. food and drinks were great.

Craving a Reuben sandwich and a cold beer, my friend and I decided to dine out together. Upon arrival, we were surprised by the pricing--each draft Oberon beer costing $8.50 and the sandwiches starting at a minimum of $15. As we enjoyed our meal, the realization dawned on us that what we thought would be a quick and casual dinner turned out to be unexpectedly pricey, totaling around $100. To add to the surprise, we discovered that the restaurant automatically includes a 3% charge to credit card transactions. read more

We ordered take out, chicken fingers hamburger, waffle fries, and pickle chips. The food was ready when I got there and we enjoyed the experience overall. The service was friendly, though it was a hot busy and paying the check took a little long. My burger was over cooked last my preference, and the pickle chips were very loosely breaded. My wife and kids enjoyed the chicken tenders and waffle fries. I thought the tater tots could have used some seasoning, very bland. read more

We came here after cocktails at Weiss, deciding a burger was just what we needed. We'd talked to a Clawson couple at Weiss who basically shrugged when we mentioned it, saying, it's ok. Burgers were decent, not 'the best I've ever had', maybe it was a seasoning issue? Tator tots were awesome, very crispy & hot. Decent beer selection. Our server was wonderful, on top of it, friendly. The place is essentially a sports bar with lots of burger options & some other things as well. The place is simple, friendly, acceptable. Was really hoping for the most awesome burger ever!! Sorry, no pics this time. read more

What a great spot! they had live entertainment, was busy but not too crowded on a Sunday night! place is spaced, service was nice and friendly! Seating by the window was very comfortable and the street view is great! Food is delicious in here. Hamburger was just on point with all the pickles and coleslaw. Will be back for more! read more

Have been a customer for years. Since covid my family has been doing carry out and have been happy. Lately it seems like the food has been declining, but it's been our old faithful and we keep going back even with raising prices we understand. Yesterday we ordered ... got lack of fries and over cooked burger with a surprise string in it!! That is my last straw we will not be going back. read more

I came for takeout because dine in is shut down for the next three weeks. One thing that stood out to me was the person who cashed me out seemed like she was really grateful for me to be there. Like me choosing this takeout spot was helping them and it reminded me how important it is to support small businesses. That really made me feel good that I choose this spot. Now to the food, it was fast! I placed my order and they told me 5-10 minutes! I was starving so this was exactly what I wanted to hear. I ordered the slider basket with cheese fries, mozzarella sticks, and the Russell Street burger. The mozzarella sticks came with 8 sticks, I didn't care too much for them. They were good, not the best I've had. The Russell street burger my boyfriend got and he absolutely loved. It was flavorful and HUGE! The waffle fries with it were amazing as well! Seasoned perfectly and just makes you want more. I ordered the slider basket which consisted of three sliders (they were the size of my palm each) with cheese, pickle, and onion. The sliders were so fresh and delicious! I ordered cheese fries to go along with it and they were not my favorite either, so I recommend the waffle fries instead. Overall, I barely finished my sliders and felt so full! Everything was delicious and I can't wait to try the other burgers! read more

What a truly unique find. Distinctively Detroit based eatery where the burgers and sandwiches are named after streets and areas of the motor city. A couple of old friends met us here on Tuesday. Tuesday being a special 1/2 off night. With every drink purchase you get 1/2 off burgers and sandwiches. Everyone ordered something different and all were overly satisfied. My Gratiot burger (named for a major road running through the city and the suburbs) was loaded with shrooms, bacon, swiss, cheddar and a fried egg. Tater tots and a cold one made for a meal almost to big to finish. Mrs. E. reports a success with her Heart Plaza burger (Hart plaza next to the river, downtown). This large soy burger comes with your choice of one of four cheeses. The option of French fries, seasoned fries, waffle fries, or tater tots wasn't appealing so she braved the onion rings. A wise choice. This is one of a few locations throughout metro Detroit. All are consistent with the master plan. In the warmer weather the outdoor patio is very pleasant. Fair warning...Tuesday nights are jamming! 1/20 read more

Went on a Tuesday when they have 1/2 off almost 90% of their menu and therefore can't complain too much! The staff was exceptional and easily got a table and service .. ordered the spinach/artichoke dip (which was NOT 1/2 off) and honestly say I've never had this dip in this form before! It was like soup! Terrible !! The tortilla chips with it were delicious tho! The burgers were delicious and definitely worth the 1/2 price read more

I've been here a few times to watch sporting events. It's a large space with multiple Tvs to enjoy the games. They have a nice selection of items on the menu from apps to entrees. We decided to order the burgers.....Wowza!!!!! The burgers are huge. I love all the names of the burgers related to Detroit. They have such a variety on the menu and they all looked fantastic. I would suggest splitting a burger because they are quite filling. Next time, I will most certainly be ordering the sliders.They have a nice selection of beers and cocktails, too. read more

The interior is a pretty typical "sports bar" setting; lots of TVs, and a mix of high and low top tables with a nice looking bar. Everything appeared to be clean. Service was OK. Our server was nice enough, but very quick to just pass by without stopping to see if we needed anything; we always needed to flag her down so she'd actually stop. Some of the food is sus though... Apps seem to be standard frozen fare, which is to be expected for the most part. The burgers are actually decent; they're not huge and messy, but rather they're easy to eat, made with good ingredients and they have a few unique menu options, which is good to see. They missed big on my wife's chicken sandwich though... The Southern Fried chicken sandwich that she had was FIRST grilled, and THEN fried. The patty was virtually inedible; dry and stringy. Not a great experience... either they were out of the chicken that they'd use to make this OR the cook really wanted to make sure it was cooked through. I had a good time and left happy, but my wife did not, which is a shame because I do like the ambience of this place and they have a decent beer list... But I do not think that we'll be back any time soon. read more

Because of bad service elsewhere (Clawson Steakhouse), we tried the Detroit Burger Bar and glad we did. The place was busy, yet we were greeted when we sat down and our bartended offered a selection of drinks based on our tastes. The food was great, I had a burger (Russel) and onion rings, and she had the Caesar wrap. Our bartender was pleasant, our food arrived promptly, hot and as-ordered. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Great easy going spot for a date night or to get together with friends. read more

Went last night. 4 in our party. We ordered corned-beef sliders, McFly Burger and a corned beef sandwich with coleslaw. Everyone raved about the food. Our waitress was great and even better? The music was low enough that we could talk without shouting. Overall a great experience and we're already talking about returning soon. No pretense about this great spot. Just great food, nice atmosphere and easy parking. Hands down better than Griffinclaw, Lux, and Mt Chalet read more

A lot of fun burger options and when it comes to fries, the waffle fries are a must! The burgers are large and in charge so great for sharing, or to take home later! We enjoyed their patio seating in downtown Clawson, perfect place to pop a squat on a summer evening. read more

Glad I stopped in. I actually forgot this place was here. We had been to one of the other locations and enjoyed it immensely. Tonight I went with the corned beef slider basket and enjoyed every bite of it. Great service at the bar also. With the happy hour pricing my dinner came to less than 10 bucks, can't be there with a stick! read more

Loved this place until last night (Halloween). Several things led to this: 1. Waitstaff had no interest in actually taking care of the very few clients in there (busy comparing costumes, talking, etc.) 2. The beer was off tasting, lukewarm. 3. Salad - I have 3 I love here - and rotate. Last night was the Michigan cherry one which...had 3 slices of apple (yes I counted) NO walnuts (I did ask for the menu back to make sure that was part of the salad...figured maybe they removed them because the salad was on special?) - just a couple tiny squares of tomato, lots of lettuce that had grit on it like it wasn't washed and....OH YEA a tiny bit of cheese and dried cherries (guessing 1 tablespoon tops). Basically this was a lettuce bowl with unwashed lettuce. Mind you I've come here for a few years now and normally the salads are spot on. Leaving off a main ingredient? skimping on everything else? My boyfriend's burger was not bad :-) the fries were cold and soggy, beer was warm and bitter. Appears things are going downhill or it was a pretty bad night. Disappointing meal and service to say the least. read more

I had been craving a good burger for a couple weeks. I'm very picky since I don't have them very often. When I told my wife what I wanted for dinner, she said then pick someplace good. I was looking through my bookmarks and this popped up. I threw out the suggestion and she promptly snatched it up. We drove over and were seated immediately. After having a good look at the menu, because they have a great selection of interesting burgers, we decided to have the Woodward Ave (me) and the Vernor(Stella). We both loved our burgers and the onion rings and tater tot's we got along with them. Service was quick, easy and friendly and food was delicious. We also brought home a Russell Street for my son. We will be back when that craving hits again. read more

Great place with a good selection of drinks and food! Service was quite good and atmosphere was welcoming

Just to remind everyone, they have much more than burgers! Was amazed by the Caesar Chicken wrap. It was delicious and huge. We, a party of four, arrived about 7:00 pm. The only available table was, luckily enough, a low-top that hadn't even been cleared yet. A young lady got right on it and in no time we were seated at a clean table. Our orders were taken in a timely manner by our server, Leah. The food arrived without any undue delay and we enjoyed our meal as the earlie diners were going on their ways. We really enjoy this place and will be back before long. read more

Just order door dash fish and chips! No tarter sauce and fish yuck! One Peace missing half like someone broke in half and ate it fries over cooked. I can't eat fish without tartar sauce which was supposed to come with it they also need to add on sides if you want extra tartar sauce that way I might've got some. coleslaw tasteless there's much better places around then place I will never order from here again. I tasted coleslaw and had a couple of the fries and then through the whole thing away waste of my time wasted my money I expected better from this place! Wish Hope's Fish chip's still open on Joy Road. read more

Definitely would visit again! I'm already an Old Detroit Burger Bar fan, as I've been to the Lake Orion locations regularly. I didn't even realize there were more til I went to this one near hubby's office. The nicest incident to stand-out was the gentleman who gave each of the kids 50-cents to go play the claw machine. No winners, but we never even give them money to play, so they definitely want to visit again :) The food was great as always. I don't know if I'd ever tried the spinach artichoke dip, but I did during this visit, and enjoyed it. The kids had a burger and chicken strips, and hubby had a burger (his usual, but heck if I can think of the name right now...). I'm sure we'll return on another trip to take daddy to lunch. read more

Very disappointed tonight. Was blatantly gauged on a single drink while waiting for a carryout and then the carryout was 2 Mid Rare Burgers when they were ordered well done. At these prices you don't the many chances, do better Burger Bar! read more

In short, decent burger place but there are much better in metro Detroit for the money. Burger I had very poorly seasoned (uneven seasoning and toppings) and nothing really unique or special about the burger. Waffle fries were alright but much like the burger, nothing really special or memorable. Not a bad place but I would go somewhere else first. A large burger with not much flavor. read more
