You can't really see the burger well... But this is my new favorite burger. The Burger is topped with pulled pork, BBQ, onion rings and an egg sunny side up. Delicious! Dom, the greatest waitperson in this place. read more

I took a pic of how good this burger was, but the ooeygooey goodness dripping down to my elbows made me look like a slob, so just envision a burger that good- so good you will pull your hair in a ponytail & dig in like a vulture. With no shame. Ask for extra napkins! read more

A great DIY burger place! Definitely gives tons of options to customize your burger or salad if you so chopse

We had a small blip here to begin the meal, it involved a miscommunication and after a very long wait I was not best pleased. No worries though, they have a lovely manager who solves all things quickly and in such a friendly fashion. Good management is a must in any business as I would have missed out on trying the wares here. As it was all I missed out on was trying a drink or beer as planned (I never drink when annoyed, no one should). It is a very small place but wait staff is super on the ball and service is speedy, you will not wait on refills or any nonsense. The food is delicious. I went to the other BBB in Farmington quite awhile back but I think this is better. Closer to me too which is win/win in my book. Beyond the wait- which you should definitely expect- and the small issue at the very beginning, this was pretty much a perfect experience. We started with a pretzel app. The pretzels here are crisped outside and perfect doughy inside. Really good flavor. Add nacho cheese if you like that sort of thing. I much preferred the cinnamon butter. Soooooo decadent. You get that salty sweet dough perfection. Yum. As a special note to my vegetarian/vegan leaning friends, they serve THREE options that are non meat. A grilled portabella mushroom cap, a black bean patty or a falafel patty. If you are aiming for health they also have create your own salads which look fantastic! They even have my fave, a burger salad. I can see eating a mushroom "burger" or feasting on a salad as the weather turns warmer myself. Good options! Burgers are tasty. I had to take half of mine home it was so filling. That pretzel app and pretzel bun serve to fill a girl up. I had an avocado burger, the guac and avocado were stellar and adding a bit of garlic mayo sent the combo into the stratosphere. The sweet potato fries were perfection with the cinnamon butter. It made a fat girl blissful. James liked his cheeeeze burger with three different cheeses on a white bun. I was jealous of his pickles, they are the perfectly thin and flat cut type (my fave). His tots were great, perfectly cooked so that the insides are soft and outsides nice and crunchy. He used more nacho cheese with his but the manager gave me a tip to try them with the cinnamon butter and they taste like waffles when you do. Definitely a winner idea that! We will be back. We will probably shoot for off hours next time though. read more

I bought a Groupon for $16 worth of food and was excited to try out this place. It had gotten good reviews on Yelp, the menu looked tasty, and I had heard good things about the Farmington Hills location. So, my eating companion and I made our way to the location on a Friday afternoon. The parking lot was under construction and it was a little awkward but we found a parking spot and made our way in. I could see where they were going with the ambiance based on the name. The feel was as if you had walked down the stairs into a basement and were going to order something to eat...kind of a cheers feel, where everybody knows your name. I decided on the 8 oz. burger on a wheat bun with french fries and my eating companion got the Kobe burger on a pretzel bun with sweet potato fries. We also ordered the macaroni bites for an appetizer. The macaroni bites came and they were tasty but they reminded me of something frozen and reheated. My eating companion really liked them. Then, our entrees arrived. It was okay, not horrible but also not memorable. My eating companion felt the same. The sweet potato fries were particularly tasty and the cinnamon butter dip was divine. They were easily the best thing to me. The food made us feel heavy after and both of us felt not so great after our meal. Needless to say, we probably won't be returning to Basement Burger Bar. read more

This is an excellent place to get your burger fix. On my visits, I've avoided long waits by sitting at the bar. The bartenders are friendly and willing to let you try samples of their various drafts. My husband loves their small but quality selection of craft beers on tap. The burgers? Oh my god, THE BURGERS. I've only tried the Kobe beef burger, but it was so good that I shall not even try the others because I'm in love. It's a fat burger, always cooked exactly how I asked (medium rare) and seasoned perfectly. And anyone who follows my reviews knows I love tater tots, and wouldn't you know it? BBB serves hot, crispy tots with your burger for a couple bucks more. I love this restaurant. It's my new place to go when I'm in the mood for a burger. read more

Hands down my favorite Bison Burger! NO ONE makes better sweet potato fries and dip! My favorite place to eat!

Basement Burger Bar is a fairly small restaurant in a slightly run-down strip mall. The parking lot was a maze of potholes and cracks. Inside, a small line had already formed but tables turned very quickly so the wait was shorter than the quoted 20 mins. Daily specials are available Monday to Thursday and Happy Hour is 3-6 and then 10pm until close. Tall tables line up around the restaurant, with a bar residing towards the back. Seven large flat screens, all tuned to different sports channel, entertained and distracted. While Basement Burger Bar is not in a basement, it definitely serves burgers. That is the focus of the menu, and to a lesser extent, salads. Appetizers provide a departure from these main items. For new visitors, the server clearly explains how to build a burger (or salad), selecting from different patties, buns and toppings. Or, another option is to select from one of the burger choices featured on the menu. Frickles, pickles coated in Italian seasonings and then fried, were mouth-burningly hot. Served with ranch sauce, they were a nice start to the meal. Next up was the bacon cheeseburger which featured a mountain of onion straws, bacon, and cheddar cheese on an 8oz Kobe patty. I ordered it medium rare but it came out more medium. While it was still good, it just was not awesome. The sweetness from the onions and Thousand Island dressing formed a good balance with the savory bacon. The side of tater tots was lovely especially with Coney fixings, served on the side. Given the burger was so huge, half came home. Surprisingly, this other half was medium rare. Excellent! The staff, hostess, busboy and server, were friendly and helpful. On this particular week night, restaurant was starting to clear by around 8. read more

Good food for a decent price, service isn't bad either. Would recommend for lunch or a quick bite.

My friend and I managed to get into the Basement Burger Bar in Canton just as a blizzard was hitting. We weren't in a huge rush but I did have an hour's drive home in this weather afterwards. I love the concept of the restaurant. You get a laminated menu and pick out your burger options (bun,meat, cheese, toppings, sides) and even milkshake flavors with a dry erase pen. Then you give it to your server. We both got the Waygu beef on a Brioche bun with American and cheddar, I got pickle also, and then we both chose milkshakes. He got chocolate peanut butter and I ordered chocolate strawberry. I got fries also. Our orders came up quickly, there weren't many people in the restaurant. Everything was delicious. I think that was the best burger I've had in ages! For some reason there was a huge delay in making our milkshakes so we ended up taking them with us when we left. But they tasted great! Our waitress was so wonderful. She was constantly checking on us and getting us extra napkins and drinks. There are other locations but this one is closest to me so we'll definitely be going back just preferably in better weather! read more

Fun concept. Delicious food. Interesting beer selection. The buffalo chicken salad was more tangy than spicy, but was very good. read more

Great food, friendly service, and fun atmosphere! My husband and I enjoyed playing trivia!

Online says they are open until 11p. We showed up at 9:55p. The door says open until midnight. We just flew in from Florida, tired and hungry. Walked up and doors were closed. Called while we were here and they very rudely told us they were closed. Very unprofessional and as a visitor not a great first impression. read more

Fun concept to build your own burger with a lot of options. Friendly staff and tasty food. Ordered: 1. Built my burger with ground beef, portobello mushrooms, lettuce, pickles, sharp cheddar and garlic mayo. 2. Side order of tater tots. Could have beed cooked longer, kinda luke warm and not crispy enough for my liking but good enough. Plenty of local beer and cider options. Trivia nights during the week. Def a must for events and food. You must try! read more

This is a great little spot that builds off the original location in downtown Farmington. I love supporting locally based companies. The service was great. The build-your- own burger menu is perfect. The salads coming out of the kitchen looked great as well. The dining room is relatively small with their bar as about 1/3 of the dining area. This would be a perfect spot for a little food and a couple drinks after work. The happy hour menu looked legit. I gave this 5 Stars because this is not intended to be a Michelin star restaurant. It's a re-created hole in the wall intended for a good burger, fries, and a beer. It's everything it sets out to be. Kudos to Patrick and Martin who took great care of my wife and I during our visit. We will be back!! read more

The bomb! I love that you can customize everything!! Whatever condiment or item you could imagine on a salad or burger, they have. There are vegan and gluten free options too. Did I mention the sweet potato fries! They are amazing. One of the best around and served with cinnamon butter. Mmmm. read more

I really don't care for the gimmicky write (check off) your own order, but it's not horrible, and the food was DELICIOUS. My burger was perfect with the right amount of toppings, and the onion rings were great. My companion throughly enjoyed her black bean burger and fries. We were both delighted with our cocktails, and her raspberry mojito was gorgeous. The environment is a bit crowded and can be overwhelming, but as long as you're not looking for a serious conversation or intimate meal, you should enjoy it. read more

I have eaten at Basement Burger Bar twice and I was not impressed. Building your own burger sounds amazing, but if your burger topping are spoiled like mine were then you might reconsider. Sometimes the first experiences aren't always the best so I usually give places a second try. My second time back I decided to order just a plain cheeseburger. I usually order toppings on my burger, but I wanted to test the burger by itself. A good burger should taste good without toppings on it too. The burger was cold and bland, but my waitress saved the experience by taking my burger off the bill and giving me some free fries (which were actually tasty). All of the waitstaff I encountered at the restaurant were very nice actually so shout out to them. Hopefully you'll have a better experience with your burger when you give this place a try. read more

A group of us went to celebrate the life of a loved one who passed away as thier favorite thing to eat was burgers. We understood that we could all sit together as was fine with it but was told they were fed up with customers that day and how many groups were coming in. Keep stressing the gratuity rules as if that was going to be a problem with it. The manager refused to come and speak with us and kept sending the wait staff over to basically say they could not serve us. We left and went to Famous Burger who were happy to have us and the food and service was excellent. Very disappointed in Basement Burger Bar and their lack of customer service! read more

I've yet to try anything here that I don't like. In fact, B3 somehow always seems to surprise me. I should be used to their terrific service, their crazy-tasty food (I'm partial to the Greektown Fries while my wife craves their Tochos!) and their well-appointed bar, but each time we visit they somehow manage to impress us in some new way. Go for the food, go for the drinks--go for both! It's small enough to be private, an it has a good, intimate vibe. I was particularly impressed with the intelligent and courteous way that they reacted to the pandemic. They were able to walk a line few other businesses seemed able to. This is one of our guilty pleasure spots. Hmm... you know what? I changed my mind--don't try it! We want to keep it to ourselves! read more

This place is not local to home, but whenever we go to Ikea we usually stop here for lunch. I changed it up this time and tried the chicken tender sandwich, and it didn't disappoint. The chicken was moist and the panko was crisp! The housemade red pepper mayo was really good! All of the housemade sauces have been outstanding. The only thing we have felt isn't worth the upgrade charge was the bison burger (tasted gamey, buffalo shouldn't taste like that) and the kobe burger (tasted exactly like the regular burger side by side). The beer selection is great, beer is fresh, and prices are good. Service has always been great as well. read more

The Wagyu beef burger was just "pk", but the quality of the meat not great. Lots of grissel & stringy fat. Certainly lower quality than I've had there in the past. The upcharge for adding bacon was for I piece broken in half. I can't see going back for the cost... read more

Burgers are too big and very messy did foot dash had to heat them up not good sorry. Order was correct however

OMG! For vegetarians - they have 3 kinds of patties and they are all pretty amazing. Plus - they put mozzarella sticks on the burgers - what else can I ever ask for. Oh and their shakes are pretty cool too. A little expensive - but well worth the money! PS - do try the Falafel patty - you will not regret it! read more

Best burgers ever because you choose exactly how it's made. Service is great beer is cold. What more can you ask for? I suggest the wag you.

This is the third B. B. Bar in the Metro area and has been located in this commercial strip of Ford Rd. for about 3 years. The burger bar idea was born in 2010 by the Azar brothers and materialized in a basement in downtown Farmington, Michigan. Over the years, these burger bars have gained a loyal following throughout the area. Peter, my server for lunch today was super helpful in leading me through the checklist-style menu for my first time. It was a juicy Kobe Burger for me today with Pepper Jack, Caramelized Onions, Red Pepper Mayo and a Sunny Side Up on top. Wow...the juiciness and the flavors were over the top and when combined with some very good Rings, the B.B. Bar scored a solid nickel. Looking forward to trying the original "underground" location in Farmington the next time I need the ole' protein hit. Recommended. read more

Favorite spot when we go to canton, I don't eat meat so I love that they have portobello cap burgers as well as the black bean burger. Fast service, friendly people, good food that's moderately priced. A lot of good drinks and drink specials. And to top it all off kids eat free sundays I believe. read more

Delicious burger and great spot for lunch (pictures of Kid Rock on the wall are just icing on the cake). Came here during the week for lunch while visiting Detroit, so had never heard of it before. Great casual stop! The burger menu is very easy, it's a big checklist you write on. You check off your burger (meat and size), bread (GF available), regular/free toppings (i.e. lettuce), premium toppings (extra i.e. fried egg), sides (fries, chili fries, onion rings), and then the waiter comes and picks it up! I got a special ground beef blend. It was extra but a delicious, well cooked (I order med-rare), and perfectly seasoned burger. I didn't do the premium toppings, just the regular stuff. I had Detroit chili fries on the side (Detroit is apparently known for chili? This was my only opportunity to try it!) and they were enjoyable with my burger. Not sure I'm crazy about Detroit chili but I enjoyed the fries. Meal came to about $14 before tip and I left full! read more

Really great burger, definitely great quality and tons of options to make your burger uniquely yours.

Honestly very disappointed with the food. Ordered a Tropical Burger with the portobello mushroom cap . Quality was poor ...The mushroom was flat and stringy and the pineapple had no taste.. the bacon was also very tough, .not to mention everything being very greasy for not even having meat on it . The brown sugar dip for the sweet potato fries had way too much sugar . read more

Awesome burgers!! We are new to Canton and this is one of the first restaurants we went to. I love that you can make a custom burger. They give you a dry erase sheet and marker. You select the bread, meat, topping, sauces, etc. There is a small up-charge for some toppings. I think you have a similar option for salads. Not sure...I always order a burger here. I would recommend the sides to share. They have a full bar and a nice selection of draft beer. It's a smaller restaurant and can get pretty busy. I would recommend waiting because it's that good. I will be back soon! Nothing fancy but oh so good- tall beer, cheeseburger, and tots read more
