    the outside of the restaurant
    Meng H.

    Coney Island. There are many Coney islands in Michigan. Just driving around you will see 1-3 around you. The best? I cannot even recommend or tell you. I've never had an exceptional experience. Everyone is just average. If everyone makes the same food, how does one pick a favorite? I guess it would depend on service. Fast service? Alway filling your order correctly? Is the inside a dump? How is the outside? This particular place? Everything seems to be working correctly. The drive-thru works. The only thing I would say bad is maybe make sure my order is correct. I was the only car and they still messed up my order. The major positive? They are open 24hr! Recommend

    The universal symbol for hot dogs
    Fox E.

    Not to be confused with the Underwearreversal Coney Island, which is where everyone shows up in panties, and wears them backwards. Fun times. Coneys are not my favourite type of food and in fact it's named after a part of New York that doesn't even have Coneys per say - just one famous old overrated hot dog place called Nathan's. But here in Detroit Coney is the way of life and it is part of the culture and it's stitched into the fabric of Eastern Michigan. And some of these places are really bad and will make you run to the bathroom, whereas some of them are actually good and will make you run to the bathroom. Notice the common thread. Porcelain altar. I highly recommend you give a few of them a try when you're in town especially the late night ones near downtown. This one on the other hand is out in the suburbs and also is a late-night destination and I think it's pretty good. Service was nice and the products were tasty and even though it's probably more of a three or four star place the fact that it's open 24 hours, and the fact that it's a local tradition and these places must be supported and must stay in business to keep the character of Detroit in Detroit.... then I have to give it Cinco. Just hold De Mayo. Thx. And no ketchup plssssssssss.

    No return policy posted

    I'd give negative zero if I could ... I came here to order a simple bacon egg lettuce and tomato... they couldn't even get that correct I asked for a refund they said they don't offer refunds, however they do not have signs posted anywhere on the business regarding a return or order policy. I've contacted the better business bureau while sitting out front. And I'll be contacting small claims court for my refund pain and suffering the horrific threats and hate speech that was shouted to me as I existed the building.

    Drive through action!!

The toppings were "choose whatever you want", which I basically chose everything. Bun was nothing special. Service was friendly.

It definately is head and shoulders above most of the burgers in the area. The side of fries were well made as well with a nice crunchy texture and nice flavor although not to the level of the burger. The facility itself seems to be oriented to more of a takeout operation versus dine in as there are only three small tables at the front near the entrance where on cold winter day you can feel the chill every time someone comes in or leaves the restaurant. Relative to staff, there is no waitstaff as it is a counter order operation where this is really not a factor here. Overall, one of the best burger joints in the area at a reasonable cost. The takeout nature of business is a factor here to consider if you are looking for table dining as it will be a roll of the dice if you get a table depending on time of day.

They always have great menu suggestions if you are unsure, and are quick at making drinks, and bringing out food. I'd like to mention, I had a situation where I was being harassed by another customer but Eloy handled the situation swiftly and professionally. Easy for me to say after that, I have no doubt that this is a safe place. 2. They cater to different interests on different days of the week. My favorite day to go is Thursday for karaoke night, the DJ in charge of karaoke is so great and encouraging! 3. Inclusivity is a huge thing for the LGBTQ community, and sadly some LGBTQ bars aren't as inclusive or safe as you would think. BUT NO WORRY, Liberty bar has gender fluid bathrooms, and is handicap accessible! 4. Last but not least, the food is priced very fairly, and drinks are as well. Their signature cocktails are always a hit, and you can never go wrong with the potstickers. If it wasn't clear earlier in this review, I highly recommend this business. It's a great place to ice break on date night, or just come and make new friends in a safe space. It's truly like family here.

My wife and I arrived shortly after doors opened on a Saturday. The bartender manned both the bar and tables by himself, and was efficient and friendly. We started our meal with mac and cheese bites and fried pickles. Both were about what you'd expect. For our entrees, I ordered the "basic bitch" poutine, while my wife got the "Harlem Hanni" with a side of onion rings. Both the poutine and Hani fell short of my expectations. The poutine desperately needed salt, and the Hani was a bit dry. Like the appetizers, the onion rings were standard. If you're looking for a casual, fun place to get drinks and some bar food, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here. On the flip side, Liberty is classified as a poutinerie, and the poutine was below average.

The burger was made out of a blend of beef short rib and brisquet with fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and a specialty sauce. The sauce while good was something I would change in the future to straight up mustard as I think the burger would have been better based on personal preference. The burger also came with a side where I chose their house fries which were excellent and one of the better fries I have had in the area. Relative to staff and facility, the restaurant has a compact footprint which limits the amount of tables this business has along with counter seating. Something to keep in mind if you are headed here during busy dining hours like a Friday or weekend nite. Staff was very friendly with prompt service and nice followup throughout the meal. Overall a nice dining experience where if Burgers are your thing you should definately check this business out.

I really don't like giving bad reviews either, but I have to be honest. We waited almost a hour for our food. The place is not too big for seating, but there was one waitress. It took us 5ish minutes to be seated and another 10 for our order to be taken. The service was just very slow. As you know, I come for the biscuits and gravy at any place. My biscuit was hot, but my gravy was lukewarm which was odd. The flavor of them was just ok. The eggs did taste good. The breakfast burger I was told was good, but not something to rave over. I did not like that they had well water only. They definitely need to get an osmosis system. They offer bottled water but charge for it. I feel that's disappointing because you're forcing your clients well, not tap, water but they can buy a bottle? Well water has a very different taste and it was almost sour. The waitress however was a nice person. She was doing her best I'm sure. I'm sure the 2 cooks were nice people as well. The flavor of the food was not worth the wait and me giving it a second try however. I want to come back for the burger specials, but scared I'll wait a long time again for food.

The original burger was cooked perfectly and the bun was pretty good. The onions and pickles were so good and I don't usually like pickles. I didn't try the signature sauce as I'm not a fan of thousand island. But many people will enjoy it the way it's suppose to be made I'm sure.The pizza burger was pretty cool. It had 3 nice sized mozzarella sticks on them and pizza sauce. We wanted fries and they only come in one size. The one size is big enough to share. We were suggested the lemon pepper fries and that was such a great suggestion. They are fresh cut fries and you can tell. I was happy they had regular fries and not the battered crispy ones a lot of place do. So they definitely will get 5 stars for the fries alone. It has some seating inside, but most people seem to get carry out. The men at the counter were so nice in helping us. They really suggested things we would like and we did. I will be glad to give them my business again.

Did a search for eateries in close proximity and decided on the Olde Detroit Burger Bar in Lake Orion. Not too sure how long this establishment has been in business, but it was either relatively new or recently renovated making it a very welcoming restaurant/bar. We started at a table out on the front patio area, but sweat bees didn't take long to come around. Our Granddaughter was not crazy about the bees, so we moved indoors. Our order: Kids' Slider & Fries; Greektown Salad with Gyro Meat; and The Woodward Avenue Burger topped with seared onion, tomatoes, and pickles with a side of sweet potato fries. I was struggling with my decision and thanks to our stunning server, Jozefina, she assisted me in making the choice to go with The Woodward Avenue Burger. The restaurant/bar had a decent crowd for a Sunday afternoon. Our service was very good, and the food was top-notch. They have a full bar and numerous tvs to keep you busy while dining or having fun at the bar. I am glad we do not live close by, or I would probably gain weight like crazy eating these wonderful burgers and other menu items all the time. If you are fortunate enough to reside in the Lake Orion area, you need to check this place out!
