My waitress Abi was absolutely amazing! She was super friendly, attentive, and made sure I was taken care of throughout my visit. The food was stellar--the Space Cowboy burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had! The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and the theme was really fun. Definitely a great experience! read more

Really enjoyed our meal here! Service was swift and the food was good. Fries were crispy and my burger was exactly what I was looking for. Milkshake was packed with Oreo flavor. Love the decor as well. Quiet on a Tuesday night, good for small groups. read more

This place has been so amazing since the new owner took over. The inside is freshly renovated and super clean. You can see the grill from where you are sitting and all the appliances are super clean. There is parking in front of the restaurant or parking structures on the side. I highly suggest trying the chili cheese fries. They are the absolute best. The fries are perfectly crispy and fresh. They give you a large serving too! The sliders are $3 and the perfect size. My husband absolutely loves the Space cowboy burger. He hates onions on burgers. This burger has an onion ring and onions and he loves it. Today he said its the best burger he has ever had. He said he could eat another one of them right then and there. The service is exceptional! Everything is so cheap and affordable. Everything comes out fresh too. I highly suggest stopping by! They did open another location on the east side in St Clair Shores too. read more

Interior was nice, little diner type location with counter service and a few tables. Service was mediocre. We ordered a three burger combo that came with fries and a drink but we never received the drink and the waitress never returned until we received our check. Cheeseburgers were simple with onion and pickle chips on the side. Burger itself was a little on the greasy side. Buns were overly steamed where they felt damp / chewy. Fries had a coating and were in need of salt. Not a fan. Prices were reasonable.

Comet Burgers - Cheeseburgers and fries - New American Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

The Cuzzy Burger was the People's Choice winner at the 2024 Burger Brawl .... and I visited to try both it and the corned beef egg roll. The burger uses wonderfully melty Gruyère cheese is heavily sauced with: - Onion jam - Garlic mayo - Zip sauce The bun is perfection toasted. The patty has good beef flavor, but is overwhelmed by the sauces. The dill pickle slices are fresh, chilled and crisp. The sauces are excellent, but for my palate, too much ... but I am not going to fuss over it. The people have spoken and I accept their judgement. The corned beef egg roll is good, not great. Needs more sour, sauerkraut. The venue is best described as modern diner, well executed and clean. The unisex bathroom was clean. Sue was my server. She is knowledgeable, attentive and appropriately chatty. Value? This is Royal Oak. Rents are nuts. The value is good considering their Main St. location. Will I return? Yes; I will return, inspite of the city's unreliable, troublesome, lousy, half-baked, thieving, poor excuse for an automated parking system. read more

A must try! We loved the food and the theme of this diner. I got an Earth burger, milkshake and fries - all delicious! The fries were perfectly done and the burger was one of the best black bean burgers I've had. The staff were helpful, the service quick, and the prices pretty reasonable. Would highly recommend, hope to be back soon! read more

Friday August 29 2025 Ordered a Jupiter Burger combo which means it came with the French Fries. Could not put it down. It was THE BEST burger ever. I have had several burgers from Metro Detroit and downtown Detroit. Micheal Jackson "This Is It"! My taste buds are doing a running man MC Hammer dance right now. The memory of this flavor is now embedded in my brain I'm in love. I feel like singing out loud ! This is my first time and I hope to be back. read more

Stellar sliders, solid shakes, and chill atmosphere I ordered a double-cheeseburger slider and vanilla shake. The Slider: the bun is not cakey but rather a soft sponge-type bread that absorbs the juice of the burger well. This leaves a great meat-to-bun ratio, and the cheese melt is glorious, covering every part of the patty. I witnessed the maestro on the grill as he made my sliders, and he used the tried and true "pinch and pull" method of lifting the patty off the grill. I then saw him scrap the melted cheese on the grill and add it to the burger. It was a marvelous process to witness and a magical taste to experience. The sliders were hot, cheezy, and accompanied by caramelized onions and a touch of ketchup added for some sweetness. I was highly impressed by the double-cheeseburger sliders I ordered, so much so that I ate 5 in total. The Shake: It was creamy and delicious, and it was just right in that Goldilocks zone of not being too thick and not too milky. I ate lunch on a Sunday, and there were only a few other diners, so it was a very calm and chill environment to enjoy my food in. The service was prompt and respectful. I was not waiting long either for my order to be taken or delivered. read more

They changed the fries to coated with something I prefer not coated... the burgers seemed thicker.. I prefer thinner...

Comet Burgers - Sliders and Fried Mushrooms - New American Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

The ambiance was great ! It reminded me of an 80's diner kinda like in riverdale ! So if you're looking for a diner with that aesthetic I would absolutely recommend comet burgers. The food was a solid 9.5/ 10 for me. I got the comet slider I believe that had the egg on it. It looked really good when it came out and it tasted even better ! I personally just don't like runny egg yolk but it went really well with everything on the burger and I was so surprised by that. I definitely recommend :) The service was amazing as well... there was great customer service. The employees were very friendly and knowledgeable about their food. I came here with my brother and my niece and they also said the customer service was pretty good. We enjoyed ourselves and most likely will be back ! read more

Always wanted to try this place and I finally got takeout the other evening from here. We placed our order over the phone and it was so loud on the other end we could barely hear what the girl was saying, and she was having a very very hard time taking our order. I was worried it would be incorrect, but they got everything down correctly. My husband got a patty melt, fries, and a fruity pebbles milkshake. The fries were cooked well but lacking seasoning, his patty melt was just ok nothing special, and he loved his fruity pebbles smoothie. I got a slider, cuzzy burger, corned beef egg rolls, and an Oreo milkshake. The cuzzy burger was so disappointing! I was really looking forward to it from all the good things I read about it, but honestly the classic slider tasted much better. The corned beef egg rolls were delicious. My Oreo milkshake was mediocre, wouldn't get again. Overall not terrible, but not amazing. If I did cone back I would probably just get corned beef egg rolls and their classic slider. read more

Comet Burgers - Kids cheeseburger fries & pink lemonade - New American Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

I have always seen Comet Burgers in downtown Royal Oak but never stopped by. I was browsing Uber Eats tonight looking to possibly order dinner, and they had a ridiculous promotion up: spend $15+ on your order, and get $15 back. I figured that had to be a mistake but lo and behold, it worked! (I'm not sure if this is because I have "Uber One," the premium version, or what ...) I ordered two sliders, no ketchup/mustard (I'm a burger purist), with just the pickles and onions; six mozzarella sticks; and a large order of fries. My bill was like $15.05, and with taxes and a tip, I paid about $5 out of pocket. :O The verdict: -Sliders: very good, though I wish it had more onions (those were tasty) -Mozzarella sticks: delicious, and still nice and crispy -Fries: still crispy, which was good, but could use some salt. Didn't taste like any was on it. Also a large portion. Although the company may not have made much off my order, they now have a new customer, as I will be ordering again when I am craving sliders and/or mozz sticks! I also saw they had fried mushrooms, which I love, and seasoned fries, so perhaps will try those next time. My only complaint is that from the time I placed the order, to the time I received it, was about an hour (and I live 10 minutes from Royal Oak), but I suspect this is more to do with Uber Eats than with the restaurant. Thanks for the discount and also the tasty food! read more

Cute place on Main Street, the service was fast and friendly. This is where it ends, the food is horrible. We had a burger and cheesesteak with fries. The burger, 1/3 lb Pattie and pretty much all you taste are the condiments on it. It's like eating a nothing. The cheesesteak is little bits of beef with the pepper bits and onion bits... more salt than anything. Save yourself go to McDonald's read more

Comet Burgers is one of my favorite diners to go to in Royal Oak. I really like the 80's diner vibe in the atmosphere and reinforced with the long bar that stretches from one end of the restaurant to the other. My order included the Jalapeño Peppers along with the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. I have a special type of weakness for deep fired jalapeño peppers stuffed with cream cheese. It is the perfect way to get my taste buds celebrating! The grilled chicken sandwich here is on point. It is topped just the way I like it, and it is satisfying. The service here is always amazing. The waitress is extremely nice and on top of her game. The cooks and manager/owner are also incredibly nice. The employees here are well rounded people and it helps make a pleasant experience. read more

Change in ownership. No longer good. Almost all new staff. Will never go back. Sliders are thin, overcooked, bad ratio of bun to patty. Onions rings are now thick cut rather than thin and crispy. Mozzarella sticks are almost as good as what you get from the freezer section of the grocery store. Ranch is just packets of Kraft. No more fountain drinks, just can of pop. Ice cream cooler is gone - disappointed to not be able to get an orange cream cooler or Boston cooler. read more

We ordered sliders and the chicken cheesesteak from them via GrubHub, and those were both great! The fries, however, were unsalted and a bit bland. Overall, good experience. I'd be interested in trying to dine in and see how much better the food is fresh. read more

I've been coming here for about 15 years and Comet Burger has always been one of the top slider palaces in metro Detroit. The burgers are old-style: small and tasty with grilled onions and pickles. Get two... or six! That's the original American hamburger, folks, before it was twisted and adulterated by the big fast-food chains. I usually order the double cheeseburger (sometimes, two of 'em), and they're always perfect. The service is great, too! Little-known fact: Comet makes what is possibly the best vanilla malt in the area! read more

I love this place. The food is great. I like that they have regular fries instead of the crinkle cut other slider places typically have. However the chili cheese fry is not like that from a coney place. But the claim to fame is the burger and it hits the mark. Yum! Shakes are thick. They legit slap. The menu is a little larger than other slider places. Good tenders, grilled cheese is ooey gooey goodness. All around great experience time after time after time. read more

Got the 6 pack of sliders and the cheese fries. Burgers are not that great, way better off going to little bros for sliders. Waffle fries were halfway decent.

We order from Comet Burger at least once a month. Their chicken Caesar salad is the best one you'll find anywhere. My husband is also a huge fan of the monster burger and my toddler who is a picky eater will devour a plain cheeseburger without a fight. We've never had something we didn't like from Comet Burger which is why it's been our family favorite for years. They absolutely never disappoint. read more

I've been going here for years, maybe 10? They have malts, onion rings, and good burgers. For my health, and to save the planet , I've switched to their black bean burgers which I have with grilled onions and mushrooms, and I ask them to grill the sesame buns. It's inexpensive, and friendly w rock pop decor and 50s diner style. It's not fancy, but it's a gem. If Katy takes your order, please say hello from Hal. read more

I am SO sad, the new 'management' has made a significant amount of changes & they're not for the better!!!! Don't try and reinvent the wheel, the O rings r different, sliders seemed low quality and you can no longer get a fountain pop!!!! We used to come every Saturday and get our usual, but it's gone downhill since the take over and we unfortunately wont be back. Time to find a new slider joint !!!! read more
