When we first walked in, we were definitely a little confused. There's a small bar area right at the entrance, so at first we thought that was the entire seating area. But if you keep walking, it opens up into another section with booths. It honestly looks like an employees-only area at first, so we weren't sure if we were supposed to go back there There's also a side entrance that leads directly into that dining area, which makes a lot more sense once you figure out the layout. The place looks a little worn down, but honestly, it adds to the charm and gives it that classic local spot feel. I ordered the burger, onion rings, and cheddar jalapeño poppers, and everything was really good. Bonus points for serving Pepsi products! Always a win for me! The guy working was also incredibly friendly and was somehow managing both cooking and serving. He immediately noticed how confused we looked walking in and kindly pointed us toward the seating area in the back. Great food and genuinely welcoming service. Also, I want to note that their kids meals were only like $3.75....this is perfect because my kids never eat their food!! read more

I just had lunch there a couple of days ago. The place hasn't changed in the last 40 years or so. If I had never been there before and walked through what my buddy and I call the chute, I probably would have walked out the back door. I had the quarter pounder with cheese, an order of onion rings, and in order of mushrooms. Service was fast and polite. The burger was good, as always. Onion rings are great and the mushrooms. We're okay. Don't let the ambiance scare you away. The food has been good as long as I've been coming here. read more

I grew up going to Roy's and it remains consistent. Lots of memories going here and it's still a favorite. Check it out.

Some of the best burgers around!!! Plus everything else is Awesome!! Great atmosphere great location.

This place is an experience. Period. It makes me nostalgic for that late 70s early 80s golden time of childhood. Don't get it to go. Sit down. Stay. Eat. Look around you. This is small town charm. This is homey feel. This is a place you can take a family. Eat cheap. With variety! Heck a hot dog is a buck twenty five. A grilled cheese or a coney dog is under 2 smackers. The little burgers are not really all that tiny and come with actual toppings for under 3. They go beyond sandwiches with dinner plates of pork, chicken, fish and smothered hamburger steaks. Even baby backs on Fridays. With that vinegary bbq sauce that just works. Big burgers are terrific as are the pork sandwiches with slaw and zippy sauce. Respectable meaty cheesesteaks any way you like em and all the fried up side happiness you could ever hope for. Swing by. Relax. You will be surprised. read more

You can't beat the lowest prices for the freshest food around!! 60 miles from me, but I will always travel for great food!! Burgers are over the top!!! My favorite is pulled pork. Since I have to go so far, I buy in bulk and freeze. Freezing does not diminish the taste. Thawed at room temperature or throw into your lunch bag! The service staff is ALWAYS friendly and welcoming. read more

Great burgers. Atmosphere. Like family on both counts. Awesome menu. Excited to try bbq ribs soon.

Great place awesome food been going for twenty years at least. Fair price and the Big one on Texas toast. Highly recommended. read more

Roy's Barbeque & Hamburgers - WOW toasted buns - Barbeque Near Me - Milan, Michigan

Was in Milan for a volleyball game and the kids and I wanted a burger. This place is delicious!

Great burgers. Chicken sandwich was good also. The lady on the phone sounded a bit bothered as well as when we arrived. Was a bit off putting, but she did eventuality smile and made a joke. We got takeout. Looked like they only had seats at the bar. Price was great too. read more

Sooooooo goooood! If you want a fun dining experience and the best old-fashioned hamburger around, set your GPS for Milan! Tables are available but I recommend sitting at the bar grillside so you can watch all the action. Burger making is an art at Roy's! Everyone behind the counter was friendly and happy to tell all about the food and the cafe's decades long history in downtown Milan. With that kind of history comes lots of repeat business and knowing your local customers. Seems everyone who walked in was greeted by name. Love that! Fries and onion rings are crisp and full of flavor. The BBQ is another popular favorite. Try the sauce and ask for a sample of the amazing coleslaw even if you order something else. You might to take some home! read more

My girlfriend and I always meet in Milan for mid week dinner dates because it's half-way between where we live. W decided to try Roy's and it was delicious. Super simple menu, fresh food and good flavor. You can't go wrong with anything on the small but tasty menu. read more

Burgers and fries were good! Got the order to go and it was quick. Prices are good and staff was friendly .

This place is my absolute favorite spot to go to when I am in Michigan! It's a hidden gem and my favorite memories as a kid. They have the best burger and BBQ pulled pork sandwiches! Their Roy secret sauce is seriously the best sauce I've ever had and I could drink gallons of it. I wish this place was closer to me and I could visit it more because I am always craving this place! Make sure to get their chili cheese fries, they're so delicious. Go sit at their counter top, watch them make the food, and have great conversations with the sweet staff. This place offers a fun environment, amazing food, and over all a great little spot to eat at. read more

My burgers were fresh, hot and perfectly cooked ... please visit !!! Will be revisiting !!

Great food no frills kinda place owner cooks your food. They care about quality. Delish!

Yes, yes, yes!!! Delicious greasy goodness! I love that you can get such a good burger or cheese steak locally! Just go, trust me! But double check the hours first! read more

Classic local spot. Great food and service at a fair price. You will not be disappointed if you visit.

Roy's Barbeque, is the epitome of the All-American "greasy spoon." While this might be unappealing to many people, the food here is actually very good. I have eaten here several times and have never had a bad meal, and at the same time I can honestly say that I have never been sick from the food they serve here. This is a big plus in my book. I really love Roy's pulled-pork sandwich, as its one of the best I have had north of the Ohio River. The only place I have found that makes a better pork sandwich is located several hundred kilometers away in Arkansas. Likewise, I love the BBQ sauce they use. If I am not mistaken its homemade and absolutely fantastic. If you're tired of run of the mill burgers from Burger King and McDonalds, then its time for you to move up the ladder at Roy's. The burgers at this place are not only large and delicious, but moist to the point wearing a raincoat is a must. Moreover, they cook it the way you want it, not how they think you should have it prepared. If you're a lover of the great All-American "greasy spoon," then this is the place to visit when your either in the area, or traveling down US-23. read more

I've gotten carry out here with my brother a number of times. Very affordable menu with delicious greasy food. Easy pickup and easy to pay. I've never sat inside, but it seems crowded and a bit run down. That being said, it's exactly what I want from a local diner-style spot. Highly recommend their fried chicken sandwiches, their burgers are on point, and I love their chili fries, onion rings, and jalapeño poppers. read more

Great burgers I could go there every time I visit Milan! Seriously great! Out dated inside but I'm not going places for the decor I'm going for the quality of the food and their burgers are quality! read more

Tasty burgers and perfect coleslaw are just what the doctor ordered (my doc is a mosochist). Super reasonably priced.

I would come back to this place of worship, absolutely popping off, completely comatose from sauce.

Stopped by for a carry-out pork sandwich. Can't vouch for the restaurant itself. This has to be the best $4 you can spend. Pork, sauce, coleslaw, bun. Thanks for stopping by. read more

Unique Burgers and some of the best Cole Slaw I've ever had. Afterwards you can visit the OG ( original gravity) Brewery down the street.

First word that comes to mind...interesting...Second word: Dive! We sat at the counter in front of the grill to get the full ambiance of the place. There is another room in "the back", but we wanted to be where the action is! 3 of us got the the 1/2 pound "Big One" with Cheese. The name aptly described the size (I can only imagine what the 1 pound Bubba Burger is like). The burger is automatically topped with onion, tomato, lettuce, and mayo (I could have done without the mayo, but didn't know to ask for it without). The cooking method is unique and results in a very good tasting burger with good texture (not too much overworking of the beef here!). Personally, the only downside was that it didn't come "to order" Everything was pretty much well done. This too could have been my fault, but we were never asked how we wanted anything cooked or topped. Several of us had the Big One, and the consensus was a big thumbs up! Another in our group got the quarter pounder (way too small for me!). 2 others had the cheese steak Hoagie. one with onions & peppers, the other with unions, peppers, and mushrooms. They looked extremely good, and the sirloin looked so fresh I could have eaten it raw. As it was, both reported that the monstrous sandwiches were top grade! Side include a mix of zucchini fries, fried mushrooms, fries, and chili cheese fries. All were pretty standard "throw the frozen side in the fryer and serve it up" types of dishes. There was certainly no lack of grease to be found. The chili cheese fries I had were maybe a 1.5 star, certainly nothing to write home about. The chili was bland, the cheese was a slice of American from the burger grill. read more

The steak sandwich was bomb! I tried the cheese poppers and they were ok. Place is small and very private owner mom and pop feel. Roy was cooking our food so it was legit. Love places like this in small lil towns. Fries were normal. Price was fair. I'll come again for a steak sandwhich. read more

The hidden gem of Milan, MI. A great little diner settled in the historic, quaint little town of Milan. This diner has with excellent food with huge portions. No fast food here folks, everything is made to order and if you would like, you can actually watch your order being made. Their pulled pork sandwich is outstanding! I highly recommend. Your order will be made and it will be hot and fresh every single time. It's prettybusy at lunchtime but order's are filled quickly. Nice staff and you can dine in or get it to go. Call ahead and your order will be ready when you get there. Their burgers are huge and so tasty. The steak fries alone will fill you up. A family friendly atmosphere. Check it out!! read more

If you're looking for yummy, greasy food, this is your place! When you first walk in, there is a bar to eat at with stools. Don't worry, they have tables in the back too. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and fried mushrooms. Everything was delicious! They use cheddar cheese on the sandwich, true Philadelphia style! I added mushrooms and mayo to mine. It was gooey and delicious, exactly what I was craving! I heard someone ask, so I thought I would share...They have ribs on Fridays after 5pm. Total $10 read more

Very good burgers . Loved it. They cook with no gloves thou. They use there hands after touching the raw meat and then they touch your bun too. The lady with the ring in her noise had a attitude the 2nd time I went. First time she was ok. Great burgers thou. read more

I love dropping in and picking up lunch or dinner. I've been happy with every visit. The food is delicious and a fair price.

Small, quaint, quick and fast: if you're playing word association with Roy's, these are the adjectives that come to mind. Roy's is the embodiment of small town diner - from the bar seating and the little booths hidden in the back to the local racing memorabilia litering the walls. The local flavor seem to frequent the place with oil-stained hands, gravely voices and conversations filled with colorful language. I ordered a grilled cheese with the homemade BBQ - nice and tangy. Their potato wedges are merely fried hunks of potato (big bonus for me). I loved the ambiance and the very affordable food. read more

Best burger I have had in ages! Had it for the first time last Friday, and have been craving one all weekend. People who work there were very cool, they were wearing face masks! Potato wedges were also good. read more
