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

Pretty good burgers here at the Basement Burger Bar. We were very impressed with the quality of the meat, which is important to us. We have gone back a few times and will continue to go to this restaurant. I definitely recommend trying them out. The service was friendly and we love that there are so many different options to meet everybody's food requirements. read more

I'll preface my review by saying that I'm vegetarian, but I enjoyed eating here! There were plenty of vegetarian options including their homemade veggie burger as well as the increasingly popular Impossible Burger. Most importantly, my parents, who are meat-lovers, also enjoyed eating here. The main reason for my high-star review is because of their delicious sides! My parents and I each ordered a different side with our hamburgers. Not only were the portion sizes generous, but they were also delicious. We enjoyed their way of how to order food, which is to use a dry erase marker to check off on their laminated menu in order to build your own burger or select a specialty burger. So many options and that's just on the menu! They also had plenty of specials listed on the big chalkboard in the middle of the restaurant, including what's on tap. I also like how this place is open until 2 AM on weekdays and Saturdays. Next time I want to spend a late night out with friends in town, we'll go here. read more

Excellent food and drinks. I love that they offer buffalo burger and vegetarian options

Came here on a business trip with a coworker who's from Novi but has never been to the nearby Basement Burger Bar. After eating there she said it was a well kept secret that she's planning on sharing with everyone, lol. I got the Band Wagon burger & I was pretty nervous because I've never eaten a burger with an egg on it. I think I devoured that huge burger in 5 minutes or less! It was different from anything I've ever had and definitely worth the risk to try something new. It was so good! The next time I'm in the area I'll make a point to return to the Basement Burger Bar. read more

Walked into this established and waited to be seated. I went in alone while my date was parking the car. No one ever came to greet us, even after being there for about 5 minutes. I felt invisible. We were the only Black patrons. I felt like we weren't wanted there. So we left upset. No one cared. Very disappointing. I like the Basement Burger in Farmington Hills, very friendly and great food! I wouldn't recommend, at least not to my Black friends. read more

Great burgers and sweet potato fries. Also a nice rotating tap of beers. Small and cozy good service and happy servers.

We've enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service of Basement Burger Bar for several years at their original location in downtown Farmington. The Canton location is much closer to home and it has become one of our most favorite hangouts! My low-carb hubby can enjoy his meaty salad while I enjoy a portobello "burger" or their incredible flatbread with pesto and portobellos. The atmosphere is lively and friendly. Bonus nights are Thursdays at 9 and Saturdays at 10 with live Sporcle trivia contests and the chance to win BBB gift cards. Adding to the atmosphere and incredible food is the service. Everyone on the waitstaff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We are always greeted with a smile and an immediate offer for a beverage. While we've never had bad service, the best server BBB employs is Blake. Blake served us once and after that made a point to say hello on every subsequent visit when we were seated in another section. He remembers what we like to drink and even remembers our favorite menu items. Last night he brought me a take-out box before I asked, remembering I usually "eat all but the last piece to take home". This is top-notch service! He brings drink refills before we ask and the check is always timely but never rushed. He's not only an efficient server, but a genuinely kind young man. It's a pleasure to dine at Basement Burger Bar and an even bigger pleasure to be seated in Blake's section! Thank you! read more

I stopped by for a quick bite on my out of town. When I walked in there were just a few tables occupied. It was right around 11 on a Saturday. When I left an hour later, most of the tables were full and the bar was getting full. This was my second time eating here and it didn't disappoint. The service is great. The food is soooooo good. I did the create your own burger. I highly recommend the garlic ranch sauce. I think it is made in house and DANG, it is delish. Love this little place close to everything. Can't wait to wat here again. read more

Food poisoning after ordering their kobe beef burger and a shake. They ran out of burgers for our friends and did not have the flavors advertised on their menu for the shake. Not BIPOC or queer friendly at all. read more

We came for Thursday night trivia at 9 pm. It was pleasantly crowded. The food here is delicious. Everyone at our table enjoyed what they got - I had a Caesar salad with fries. Next time I will try to build my own burger since everyone loved their burgers and the amount of options for toppings. Trivia was easier than most other places I've been which made it slightly more enjoyable for me. The top 2 winners get gift cards and they play 2 rounds. I would prefer trivia to start at 8 pm on a Thursday, but with a 9pm start time we only played one round. My trivia group will probably not be back to basement burger bar for trivia specifically bc others thought it was too late (9pm) and the food and beer was a little pricier than they wanted to pay. Everyone, however, said they'd be back for the food! read more

WOW!!! This place was amazing!!! We live an hour away and will absolutely be coming back. The burger was incredibly satisfying and the fries were everything you want a fry to be!! Love that you can build everything so your burger is exactly what you want. Even the way its cooked. Also have an amazing beer selection and rotating taps read more

Great service, excellent burger! Restaurant was clean and followed covid rules. Went to the one in Detroit. Loved the openness and all the windows. read more

Trivia on Thursday is fun and the burgers and tots are great. Good beer selection, nice craft beers.

Went here for lunch with a girlfriend. I tried the Mrs.Blueberry cocktail....twice. Really yummy. Was surprised to see you can order a burger made your way starting with a variety of meats. Beef,Wagu beef, Bison, Turkey,portobello, chicken. Next you choose your bun and toppings also cheese, condiments (some made in house). I had coleslaw with my burger,which was really tasty,had alittle zip to it. My friend had tater tots with her burger,and was excited to see them on the menu. Will definitely be back! My husband will love this place. read more

Got takeout while at my mom's in Canton the other day and LOVED it. We got 4 different burgers and a variety of sides to go and it was awesome. I went with the All-American 6oz and it was simple and perfect. Just lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and mayo on a brioche bun with cheese. It really let the meat, which had great flavor and was very juicy, shine. The toppings were fresh, and the bun was fluffy and held together really well. I also got a side of tots which held up remarkably for takeout. My husband, mom, and grandma each equally raved about their burgers. My mom got the Club Burger (ranch, lettuce, tomato, red onion, Swiss cheese and apple cider smoked bacon) with a side of beer battered fries, my husband the All-American on a pretzel bun with a side of sweet potato fries, and my grandma the Bacon Cheese Burger (thousand island, lettuce, tomato, sharp cheddar, apple cider smoked bacon and crispy onion straws...I kept stealing her onion straws. They were so good!) with a side of sweet potato fries. I definitely stole some of each of their sides and quite enjoyed them. Only critique was that my husband and I requested medium cooked burgers and my mom and grandma asked for theirs well done and all four came well done. But I'll give them a little benefit of the doubt since it was take-out and things are a little hard to keep cooked the way they should be when you're transporting it. Everyone dining unanimously said they'd go back, both to eat in person and as takeout. Already clamoring to dine in for a real fresh from the kitchen experience. I have no doubt they'll knock it out of the park even further! read more

Burger place? Of course choose this one, variety and the sides are delicious too... burger has the smoky flavor and everything is cooked as you ask for ... love it read more

Always good food and great service. I just wish they would move to a larger facility. Feels really cramped in there the building is so small. Move into the old Haydens building and we would go there every week. read more

Wow, this was one delicious burger!! We did take out, because of Covid-19, and we were so happy to have such a delicious late lunch after wearing ourselves out at IKEA. Even though we ordered it well done (my husband gets spooked by tinges of blood in his food) it was juicy & had great flavor with tasty seasoning. Great job, Basement Burger Bar! read more

The waiter was attentive, but the kitchen was anything but. When a place devotes an entire menu to specify every last detail of your custom burger you expect them to pay attention to what you request. The most important element is how it is cooked. Both my wife and I specified medium which was noted as "pink all the way through), but we received dry "well done" burgers. We ordered the "American Kolbe" upgrade which was wasted. Burgers are their specialty, not an afterthought. If they can't get this right you wonder if they care at all. read more

Went there after visiting IKEA, and checking on yelp reviews. The place is very small, so be prepared for a wait for a table. When we finely set down and check the menu, we decided to go with the personalized burgers. They give you a marker pen and you select your choices on laminated menu. Quite fun. We both went with kobe beef because this is something you can't find in other places. The meat was very juicy, but to be honest, I haven't noticed any special taste....for me it was a little too greasy. Prefer bison. Also, you have only one patty size, so for some it may be to big. It is for me, I wish they could offer smaller option too. I got sweet potato fries. They come with cinnamon butter. Although, I like the sweetness of sweet potato fries, the addition of sweet butter was just to much for my taste. I loved the their garlic mayo! It's to die for! I asked for a side of or to dip my sweet fries. Soooo good! M. got beer battered fries, again something not typical in other places, and they were very good too. One complain that I have is that they forgot pickles in both burgers, but we were so hungry that we haven't even noticed that until I checked the pictures I took. We never order burger without pickles, and they were checked on our list , so now I know why every bite I took I was getting the feeling something is missing here. These pickles! I assume that if I would tell the waitress that she missed that, she would bring me some, so no issue here, but the order should be accurate from the begging. Overall, good burger and good fries. Not my number one, but I will visit them again while shopping at IKEA. The best part is the garlic mayo and beer battered fries. read more

They have some pretty good burger options here. There's also the option to build your own burger. It's kinda intimidating seeing all the different options. I decided to trust the chefs pairing and order one of their standard burgers. It was a little pricier then I expected but it was delicious and I felt full afterwards. They had a decent craft beer selection as well. read more

Burger was awesome and so was the ACE guava on tap, will be back again!! I loved that you can mark what you want on the sheet to make sure you get exactly what you want read more

Nice spot to grab a quick bite to eat. Location is good. Prices are fair. Food was typical bar like food. Service was cool. Business was busy. The environment was bar like, tvs everywhere, pretty loud. read more

Delicious food we have gotten food here lots of times and I really like their meals and the kids meals are pretty good too!

Fabulous burgers! Their bean burger is amazing! If you like a sports bar atmosphere and premium burgers, you'll love this place. Who knew tater tots were so good! read more

My husband and I got the American cheeseburgers. Wanted medium, but they came well-done. The burger itself tastes like something I could make at home, so not worth the price to pay for average food. Maybe their specialty burgers are good, but I'd think a burger joint would have a banging cheeseburger, and that wasn't the case. Honestly, five guys is better and half the price. Will likely not try it again. read more

Well i gotta say that we went on Valentine's Day so right there could be the reason for the bad service. But the food was excellent... mine was anyhow... actually, even my girlfriend's food was the "best burger she had ever eaten" (so said she) despite them screwing up her order twice... We spent an hour in line (despite there being empty tables???) and another hour or more at the table waiting for our food. We each ordered a salad with a beef patty medium rare. My daughter ordered a shake and a nacho with only cheese. By the time our dinners arrived we were not about to NOT eat it cuz we were so hungry! My gf ordered her burger (medium rare, as mentioned) with mushrooms and feta. It came well done, with feta on top but without mushrooms. She pointed that out and they tried to take her entire plate away... she said "NO i wanna EAT" so they took her burger off her plate... and returned with a small pate of mushrooms and a second burger well done (again) and this time without the feta... she pointed that out. The manager offered to get her yet another burger but because the kitchen was so busy and each burger took so long it made no sense and she ate it piece meal. The manager said "oh since you had this bad experience i will make sure i give you a discount".... i said to her when he left, that if i were manager i would have given her dinner to her for free; it was pretty crappy way to eat... When we got the bill, the manager had given her the employee discount off her meal - 50%. I thought that was ridiculous. But I'll definately go there again. The vibe was ok - seemed it is a sports bar but not so much on that night. read more

Great burgers, drinks and a friendly atmosphere! Great service and very generous portions.

If I want a burger in the Canton area this is the place to go. I love that you can special order the exact toppings and such you want on the burger and the shakes are so good. read more

Tables kept clean, masks required, and patrons socially distanced which is important to me. The menu was extensive. We really liked the build your own options. My kid built their own salad and I built my own burger. Both tasted absolutely amazing. My kid (who claimed they were starving) also opted for a brownie milkshake and bacon mac & cheese bites. Those were also excellent. I definitely recommend, but it can get a bit pricey when everything is added up. Service was great and I would definitely go back if in the area again! read more

Great food. Great service. The food is delicious and its even on doordash, but its always best to get it fresh.

First of all, I have to say that this place is small. As in really small. So for the next few months expect it to be really over-crowded. I like the neighborhood bar feel. The food is great. What I really love is that there are so many choices. If you're a meat eater you can get beef, bison or kobe beef. If you're a vegetarian you can get black bean, portabello mushroom. There are so many toppings. The fries are beer battered and extra crispy, and the tots are really good too. For appetizers we had the deep fried mac and cheese ($4 apps for happy hour...bonus!) and the jalapeno poppers. Both were good, but the mac and cheese bites were my favorite. They also have salads, in case you're wondering if everything on the menu has a billion calories and fat grams. But I was in a burger and fries mood so that's what I got. Word of caution - the parking lot is TERRIBLE with big pot holes and not enough room. I hope the store owners pool their money and get it repaved, especially with all the traffic that BBB is bringing in! read more

Well let me see... We walked in & I first just saw lights, noise and TV's! The square footage must've been done by someone from "Tiny House Nation"!! It was teeny tiny inside, along with the fact that it was noisy, tiny and my seat was sticky with something of a jelly or jam? Once we fixed that, the waitress was very nice! She explained about the menus and how you can just pick from it or "build your own" burger! Prices are about average. My husband got a tropical burger with pineapple on it! He enjoyed it immensely! He ordered "medium"& that's exactly what he got! I ordered a traditional cheeseburger plain a "medium well"! It was delicious too! My only complaint was that I had to return my burger because it was not hot inside! Go figure? I finally got the attention of the waitress and she took it back & put it on the grill to re-heat the one 1/2 that I'd not bitten. I was kinda "lost" on the 1/2 with the bite out of it! Their French fries are "to die for" delicious!! Oh My Gosh, they're the best ever!! Lastly, I got the "cookie monster " for dessert and I enjoyed every single bite!! It was a warm cookie with chocolate chips and ice cream on top with hot caramel & chocolate sauce over the whole thing!!! My taste buds were in Heaven!!! Yummy... Wonderful food & service with just a few little glitches so they got 4 out of 5 stars!! Worth going again!! read more

They have a lot of really interesting options that I think will help you create a burger that's catered to your tastes, but other than that, a pretty typical burger place. I ended up getting the mac and cheese bites (which were SO good) but 7.50 for basically 8 pieces of mac and cheese bites was a little pricey. I got a turkey burger and it was unfortunately incredibly rubbery and bland. I ended up eating everything but the meat. If you come here, don't get the chicken or turkey. The Kobe beef was pretty good though. Tldr: mac and cheese bites rocked, but overpriced. Not worth coming here if you don't eat beef. read more

Why oh why can no one make a decent burger? Went to BBB tonight, 1st time being at either location. I appreciate they tried to give the Canton location a basement feel and look. Maybe it'd be easier to make a list: Pro's: Served quickly. Music at a decent level. Fresh ingredients. Con's: Price for a burger. Taste of the burger. So I'm down with being able to choose between bison, kobe, beef, turkey, etc. Totally awesome. But after perusing the make your own burger menu, my burger probably would have came to $15-$18 will the things I would have wanted to add to it. So I ended up with a Bison Tropical Burger on a wheat bun. Eh. Not greasy like Five Guys, but not flavorful. The bison was not seasoned, and the taste of the pineapple didn't even shine though! Seriously couldn't taste it was there! Shared a basket of sweet potato fries with my friend. They were decent. Almost wanted them to come with the butter on them, they looked and were a little dry. I'd rather drive to Ypsi and get one of the delicious burgers with the yummy sweet potato fries at SIdetracks for half the price. Save your $$$ people. read more

I had been meaning to go here for months. Finally did. Meh. Just not as fabulous as everyone hypes it to be. I love that there are so many options to build. I went with a basic, 6oz with Swiss on a pretzel roll. Ordered it Medium Rare. For a burger place, I'd expect them to know that means pink inside. Nope. Totally overcooked. I think my pretzel roll had been buttered up, too, because it was greasy. Yet, the meat was dry. I opted for sweet potato fries, my standard, and they were just ok. They came with a cinnamon butter dip that seemed misplaced since the fries are in fact, fried. My dining companion was equally disappointed with the overcooking of his burger ordered medium rare as well. Positives: waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable about beer. Big selection of drinks and I was introduced to a new cider which was delicious. I'm going to continue my quest for the best burger around. This wasn't it. If return for the cider and trivia..... read more
