As my finace just said to me, "anything grilled or fried there is great! Anything else, shouldn't be eaten." Some places are good at lots of things. If you're looking for that place, go to Champps. Others, are good at just a few things. They have a menu that is a folded piece of paper because you don't really need the menu. This is one of those places! And the thing, is a delicious, juicy and perfectly cooked hamburger. Let's talk about great bar hamburgers. You can always tell a great burger joint by a waiter or waitresses reaction to your order. Do they ask you how you want it cooked...then it's not a good burger place! If you're looking for a burger bar where the choices are between 1/3 or 1/2 pound, cheese or no cheeses, and with or without fries...now you're talking. This place boasts "Detroit's best burger," "the world's best burger," and about five other superlatives. I don't know who bestowed these rankings, but they were accurate. A little bar on the west side of Dixie Hwy past where humanity should live, is a place called the Springfield Inn. The tables and chairs have been in this place since it opened as have some of the staff and customers who appear to be permanent fixtures, but they do burgers and beer very well, and the beer comes by the bucket. I know I'm normally Yelping about fancy diners and uppity places that I go to on my travels, but this little gem moved me to write. As a kid who grew up in Utica Michigan, the Shamrock bar and grill was the place the locals went to get a great burger and beer. I've found its doppelganger. The burgers are great...cooked perfectly in the way that only a well seasoned grill can make them. They served on paper plates housed in plastic coasters. Classy, no...fantastically good, yes. They don't ask you what you want on it because it's a bar burger. A few minutes before the burger arrives, you get a tray with piles of pickles, onions and lettuce and tomatoes as well as mustard, ketchup and mayo. Want something else, go somewhere else. Did I mention I love places that know they're good at what they do? When the burger arrives it's a healthy sized burger with a fresh bun. It's loaded with melted cheese and seasoned perfectly. The burger is a juicy medium, as a good burger ought to be. And it's great. I've had burgers that cost twice as much (it was 6.95 for the 1/2 lb with fries...come on!), and tasted half as good. The waitstaff, even despite a changeover, was fantastic and attentive. The first waitress was still there, drinking at the bar when we left. I think I'm the first to Yelp this place, but I won't be the last. If you're ever in the norther part of of southeastern Michigan and you're looking for a place to find burger heaven...look no further. This place has what you're looking for and does it with an unassuming confidence that you can only find in a place that does what it does well and has no need to do anything else. Well done! read more

Springfield Inn Bar & Grill - a red truck parked in front of a white building - Bars Near Me - Davisburg, Michigan

This is a small-town bar that makes you feel at home. But, with small-town feel leave's little options for those that have any allergies. Their margarita was strong so that made up for the hunger pains I was left with. Our waitress was really kind and on top of it, refills prior to asking, extra dressing for my son. My son loves their hamburgers and Fries. read more

Place has been here since 1949. A fun dive bar, with way better than average food. Plenty of regulars. Shared a Reuben sandwich and a French dip. Both were really good & large. Sandwich comes with chips - fries are an up charge. Added in 2 tall draft beers. With tip just under $30. read more

04/04/2025, stopped in around 1:40 for lunch, sat down and never got greeted....not a hello, not I'll be with you in a few minutes, nothing. Waited 15 minutes then finally got up and went to Jack's RoadsideBBQ. I can't rate the food but if it's anything like the service or atmosphere 1 star is too much. Don't waste your time at this chit hole. read more

Terrible has been, that has gone down hill steadily and shows no sign of improving. The food is still lousy and now all drinks are served in plastic cups. The glory days are way behind them read more

Best burgers and wonderful entertainment. Nice that there is still somewhere to get s as great burger at a great price.

This little bar has fantastic food! They change their food specials all the time, but some of my go-to favorites are the soft pretzels, the burger & the wedge salad. The staff is pretty great too! read more

I've eaten at this local pub many times over my many years in the area. Having recently moved back to the area I've really enjoyed coming back to one of my old watering holes as a youth! As of spring and early summer 2022 this place deserves the "world famous burger" title they display upon entering. They taste as delicious and are as fresh as they were back in my younger years! Great drinks, Keno available, extremely friendly waitstaff and a local pub vibe. In this day of record inflation and price gouging it's refreshing to have a few drinks and a decent burger with your spouse for under $25 read more

Good food but waited at LEAT 15 MINUTES for chips and salsa and mozzarella sticks....sticks were cold and doesn't take 15 minutes to pour salsa, then had to ASK for my bill because I was apparently forgotten read more

Friendly staff and amazing food! Trivia is a ton of fun. Lots of amazing bands play here also.

I asked on a local public forum which place around the area had the best burgers and The Springfield Inn was mentioned numerous times. We tried it, loved it, and we both liked the feel of the bar. We will definitely be back! read more

Never been here before today. But the reviews were good so I gave it a shot. I ordered the potstickers and a sprite to start with the intention of ordering more after I finished my appetizer. Potstickers were ok. Sprite was carbonated water and that didn't even get to the table until after the appetizer. That was the last I saw of the waitress for a while. I never got silverware or napkins, and I finished the appetizer long before I could Flag the waitress down for a bill (I was not going to bother eating more). Overall food was ok. Service was horrible read more

Terrible service. Plenty of help. Food took over 1:30 to get and covid is not an excuse. Our waitress was serving food to other tables that came in after us. We asked when ours will come. She would not return to our table and we were served by another waitress for the rest of the dinner. Never received my entire order. Stay away. read more

Lettuce from The Wedge...so disappointing...the Blue Cheese was controversial...love the waitresses & I can find a bad head of lettuce in a dumpster read more

I love the Springfield Inn. Awesome food and friendly staff keep me coming back. The end.

best cheeseburgers ever, best waitstaff ever especially Laura, worth the money been going there for 35 years.

This place is racist. I'm korean and went here with a friend. Service was terrible. The waitress seated, took orders, and delivered food to 3 tables of whites before she even came to take our order. It took us over an hour to get our food. Burger was ok, but will never go back again. read more

This bar is perfect for people who just want to get an amazing burger and hang out. It's not too noisy and the staff is always on point. They have a really cool buddy system there. And even though this bar looks small, they house dart competitions, they are a main spot for people who get done golfing, and they have awesome bands playing sometimes. (They don't always have bands but when they do they are awesome!) My favorite so far has been a motown band they had come in. Great service, best burgers around. Can't ask for much more than that. read more

This place reminds me of an old neighborhood bar. Friendly staff and atmosphere. We've tried the burgers and surprisingly they were pretty darn good. They tasted really fresh. The onion rings were great too. The girls that work there are very friendly and pay attention to you. Overall good experience every time. read more

Love the patty melt. Can't get myself to order anything else. Not fancy inside but the beer is cold and my husband loves the burgers too!

Springfield in is always in the running for best burger in the Detroit area. In my opinion it has always been the best.

Best burger ever. Thank you for serving quality food at a great price. I love The Springfield Inn.

We live really close, wish they had at least one vegetarian option, a veggie burger or something. Besides that, it's great! We would frequent the place if they had something for us to eat. read more

Terrible...saw the good reviews...went for a quick lunch. 20 minutes to get someone to even wait on us and there's 8 people in the dining area...got the food...cold !. Sent back to the microwave...seriously ? Ordered the loaded BLT to split with someone...she got like 3 pieces of bacon and my half was loaded with 1 piece..didn't have time to complain...left & found out after...I was overcharged. Pissed off my nice Saturday ! read more

Wife and I stopped in after xmas shopping for a burger and beer...the BEST burger in town, by far! They have also added many sandwiches...Turkey and Gravy, Rueben, etc... cozy and great service! TRY IT! read more

I specifically ordered a burger without the cheese so I could gauge the burger at its most basic, and it was really good, fresh, and no-nonsense. The three others in my party ordered two cheeseburgers and one fish sandwich, and all were satisfied. The waitress mentioned they had chili that night, so I got a cup with raw onions sprinkled on top, and it was all business, good tomato-y taste with the chili seasoning not too front forward. But you come here for the clientele. This is a real bar with regular customers who are all without pretension. I came in from Washington DC, and the lack of yuppies was refreshing! Wish this was the bar down the street from me. read more

I lived less then a mile from this place while i was growing up, but i never went here until about 5 years after i moved out of the area. The Burgers are ridiculous. But as the sign over the grill says "This is not Burger King, You take it how we make it or you don't get it." They Have great burgers decent bar food and good beer... the wait staff can be interesting to abusive. I will be returningb read more

I've frequented the "Springy" as we have called it for years, and have had many different items from their menu. In my opinion, their burger and fries are better than anyplace I've ever had. They've added new menu items over the last year or so that include a French Dip sandwich, open faced homemade turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy, Italian sub- all of which were really great. Some of their old staples I've had include the Slim Jim and Nacho with both of them being really good as well. We've ordered many times the cheese balls and fried mushrooms but the burger and fries are our staple when we're feeling like a good burger. We've been there mostly at dinner time or later and have always had good service with friendly staff. Based on the reviews I just read on here, it sounds like the day staff may not be as great as the night staff. You can't beat the prices for the food and drinks. I would classify it as a small, hole in the wall type of bar. It falls short in ambiance, but my 5 star rating is based on the fact that you can get dinner and drinks for reasonable prices, friendly service, and the food has always been good, especially the burger and fries. Worth a stop. read more

There are two bartenders, Karen and Pam, that we continue to get great service from. Due to the friendliness and integrity that these two ladies offer time and time again each visit, they make us want to go back. This place offers great and friendly service, awesome burgers and wonderful entertainment. A local place to go back to time and time again. Thank you to two wonderful gals. Donnie and Cat. read more
