This was such a fun experience! I like hot dogs and my friend loves them! We decided to do a little drive to Yipsi and check out this famous little hot dog stop. It's a unique place with an old time vibe. You order from your vehicle and they bring out the trays with your food...kinda like Happy Days. We absolutely loved their Root Beer to accompany our delicious dogs! I highly recommend this place!

Cup and bag of goodness

This place is simple but fantastic, that is if you are looking for a coney dog. Simple menu, homemade root beer. And a yellow and brown picnic table.

Great coneys but even better root beer. No frills and cash only. Waited on while in the car or go sit on a couple of the picnic tables!!!!

If you've read other reviews about their root beer being amazing, that's because it really is! I like it over A&W's taste! The service here is quick even when they are busy & parking lot is full. The menu is small but everything is delicious, hot dog, ground beef, chilli and the root beer. Heads-up: It's a cash only drive-up restaurant.

Quick, simple and to the point coney joint. They take your order at the car (we didn't know this at first) and don't expect them to write anything down. However, our order was 100% correct. 1 chili dog, 2 Loosey's, a bag of chips and homemade root beer was almost $10.00. The food was delicious and customer service was fantastic. They only take cash so glad we had some on us. I'll def return if I'm in Ypsilanti again.

It isn't about the quality of the dog. While this was a nice quick treat: the dog was tasty and the root beer was cold and sweet- it was the two dudes running food out to folks that made the moment. Thanks for your generosity and welcome to a traveler

Bills are great every time! The root beer is amazing along with the chilli dogs. The staff brings the food out to your car and they are always pleasant. You can eat in your car or sit at one of the picnic tables. It is cash only so remember to stop at an atm first.

Bill's is an Ypsi classic! The chili dogs are tasty yet affordable. It's a place everyone should experience at least once!

I wasn't a huge fan of the hibiscus lemonade. It was overly sweet with zero tartness, and I'd expect both from lemons and hibiscus. The chili cheese dog was fine. I think the chili is quite good but the cheese kind of dampened the flavor down. I recommend it with mustard. My favorite was the bacon jalapeno dog, while my partner preferred the coney. I think the hotdogs themselves have good flavor and are more similar in texture to a meat dog than any other imitation I've tried. I'd be willing to try more, but it's not a priority. I know it's all vegan but I will say I thought it was kind of expensive for what you get. But that's the economy we're living in, I guess!

There is seating inside and outside; I was extra stoked to be able to sit outside today! The guy taking my order was very nice and kind. Especially because I had a little bit of a slow moment and quickly forgot that it was a plant based Coney Island. Very untraditional LOL I ordered a Coney with a side of chips. The Coney comes with chili, mustard, and onions with sea salt chips. The Coney dog was so good. You honestly cannot tell that it is plant based. I'll be back because I definitely want to try their burgers and sandwiches! If you happen to be in Ypsi, it is in depot town and there are a variety of restaurants and a bar over here.

They consume burgers in an inhale mode, so it was only fitting to watch the action. I had the big cheese squeeze with all the fixings plus wedges, boy 1 had the same less the fixings and fries, boy 2 wasn't feeling it so only had the 1/4 cheese with fixings and the wife the same both with fries. Of course, drinks. My drink selection was the root beer, not exceptional but the usual root beer. Hands down some of the best crispy, juicy, seasoned, well dressed, burgers on a bun that held up to these monsters around Ann Arbor or Ypsi. Fries and wedges work excellently alongside them. The mouth will want more of that taste, but it would be a little hard to get it down on a full stomach. The lady behind the counter was not only serving, cooking sides, handling phone ins, and drive pickups; she also managed a sense of humor and took a minute to make sure you were OK with everything. Make sure to tip like you mean it. Oh, almost forgot to mention the customers, everyone was there to enjoy the dinners atmosphere, good burgers and a little bit of that neighbor being neighbor's thing. Will be going back for sure. Stay safe out there Jack and Lynn

I tried to order by phone on a Sunday right after church and they put me on hold and never got back to me. This time tried on Saturday around noon and they took my order. They asked what kind of car, I drove so I assumed they would bring it out but I ended up picking up my order inside no big deal. I ordered 1 Roy's big squeeze, a 5 pack of sliders with cheese, 1 pulled pork sandwich, and 1 order of onion rings, curly fries, and fried mushrooms all for $43. Fed 4 of us to the brim no problem. The burger was solid and for $8 it's about the same or cheaper than most fast food places except you are getting meat cooked fresh. They cook smash style burgers their grill adds a nice flavor. I can see why this is a local favorite at these prices hard to get this quantity and quality. I would come more often but the one negative is convenience, no guarantee they will take your phone order, cannot order online, and waits can be pretty substantial. If the opportunity arises definitely should come here for your burger fix.

I was in the area for lunch and Lefty's sounded good. The Korean BBQ Hoagie and the Cheesesteak with spicy cherry peppers were my favorites. I ordered the cheesesteak, with fries, and some cheese sticks. It was delicious as always. Fries were crispy, cheese sticks were piping hot, and the steak was juicy. It was better than the locations by me because the place was cleaner and the staff was nicer. I was pretty shocked how good everything was, especially for a chain. Plus, it was busier than the old locations by me, leading me to think it wasn't a fluke and just good staff. I don't review places all that often, but it was just genuinely tasty and the other ones just didn't get enough business (probably because they were in weird tucked away spots). So that's why I felt the need to give it 5 stars.

The store is not as sparkling as in past visits. The staff not as receptive. The food definitely not up to par. What a terrible disappointment. Yes, this chain is currently in the middle of legal woes and massive store closings. Again, the food is decent, but not as great as 10 years ago. Even 5 years ago. Not to be paranoid, but is there an advantage to sabotaging your own product? It just didn't taste right. Like something missing or something has changed. Please bring this place back to prominence. I miss the days when I would get yelled at for eating with my right hand! lol 08/24
