Dex single burger combo
John K.

This place is a local gem that doesn't seem to exist being where it's located. I ordered the Dex single and it was a tasty hamburger with good flavor and texture! Will visit this place again.

Baby Jays bacon burger

I called in for lunch today. I ordered the Hanks Fi Dollar meal which was 4 wings and fries. I got the garlic Parmesan seasoning on them. This was a good meal and a great price. I do wish there were more sauce on the wings, so I'll ask for extra sauce next time. I also ordered the Baby Jays bacon burger. The burger was pretty good although a bit dry, but for the price, you can't beat it. They were not skimpy with the toppings either. The menu does have items crossed off, I don't know if these items are gone temporarily or not. The service was absolutely stellar.

Christmas in July soul food wednesday menu
Kara W.

The hype is REAL. Disclaimer: I've only eaten the Soul Food Wednesday menu, not the regular burgers. But if you can cook soul food like THAT, there's no way you're not making a top tier burger. We went on Christmas in July week, and everything was.... Sorry, I just got distracted again thinking about how good it all was. Baked chicken, cornbread stuffing, Mac and cheese, collard greens, candied yams, with cranberry sauce and gravy - 2 LOADED plates for under $30. I mean. It doesn't get better. Every. Single. Thing. Was delicious. We didn't even talk, besides occasional "oh. my god.'s" the entire time. On top of it all, Dexter himself is an absolute gem of a man. Love supporting this newer small business downriver, and hope to see it grow into something as incredible as his food!

If you're in need of a good big ol burger cooked to order for a very affordable price, this is the place for you! The small restaurant was very kind and even gave me a cupcake for coming in. This location isn't very close to me so I can't say when I'll return but I recommend everyone check it out.

This is the Double Dex combo

So we wanted to try Dexter's Grill for awhile now...so many people gave it a Good review. Well I totally get why..the food was excellent and I was so happy they offered alternative to red meat which I do not eat. I very rarely get Turkey burgers at restaurants but my husband and daughter were in the mood for a burger and I told them about this place. We ordered take out and brought it home...sorry for the pics we were so excited to eat we almost forgot to take the pics...I put mayo and ketchup and mustard and pickles on my Turkey burger at home. It was Delicious!!! I didn't get a pic of my daughters Shauny"s mushroom and Swiss burger. She loved it too! My husband said they people working were very nice came out and talked with him. We will definitely be going back!

Plenty of room to eat inside.  Very clean and inviting.

We've had dinner from here several times now. The food is great . The chicken wings are exceptionally prepared! They really care in this kitchen! Every thing we have ordered has been cooked perfectly. The chicken wings are the best around and the Dex hamburger was delicious. Thanks so much for your wonderful service. Tonight we had pork chops and pinto beans and rice. We also had fried green tomatoes!!!! So SO tasty ! Mixed together they were the best . All priced fairly and affordably. The entire staff is committed to making quality food for our Bellies!! Thanks Dexter and Teammates!!

Great burger! Great staff! Great dining area! Anne I even got to hear some complementary live entertainment as the fellas were putting up the Christmas decorations!

Always heard good things about Dexter's and they didn't disappoint! Stopped in on a saturday. The wife and I both had the Dex burger combo which included the burger, fries, and drink. The burger was excellent with all the toppings included. Plenty of fries and a nice cold beverage from the cooler. This $8 combo is far better than the big fast food businesses. Excited to try their other cooked to order specials on week days. We will be back.

Double Baby Jay's Double Bacon Burger

Im not from Michigan or even Detroit but this was one of the best burgers I've had here! The staff taking our order were friendly and attentive! It's a very cozy restaurant with room for the whole family! I would recommend anyone driving by or living in Detroit should come and check this place out! 8.5/10

Joe's Hamburgers - Jalapeño Cajun and the Awesome Avocado and Poutine

Joe's Hamburgers

Downtown Wyandotte, Downriver

Ambiance? Good. …read more Waitstaff? They really wanted to make it right. . The food? Just bad. BAD. Undercooked bacon, burnt buns, fries were soggy and greasy. The orders kept getting messed up, they even served a beef burger to a vegetarian and insisted that it was a Beyond Burger (it wasn't). Their kitchen must have had better things to do than get the food right. If you ever thought to yourself, "how bad can a burger joint mess up a burger?" Visit this place and you'll find out.

Joe's Hamburgers has one of those interiors that immediately catches your eye, filled with retro…read morememorabilia, arcade machines, and vintage charm that makes the whole space feel both playful and inviting. It's a place with personality, and you can tell a lot of care went into creating the vibe. I visited while in town with family after they recommended it as one of their favorite spots, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere had a distinct personality, vibrant, nostalgic, and full of character. Even the seating and layout contributed to that energy, making the whole space feel intentional and fun without trying too hard. The game room on the side was such a fun surprise, filled with vintage pinball machines and old-school arcade games that gave the whole place extra character. It added a sense of fun and whimsy that really set it apart. I ordered two sliders: the Jalapeño Cajun and the Awesome Avocado. Both were flavorful, juicy, and well-balanced in seasoning. They came out fresh and were nicely presented. I also tried the poutine, it was a decent portion and definitely satisfying, though not the most memorable I've had. Still, everything felt like solid value for the price, especially with the generous portions and the overall vibe of the restaurant. Between the decor, the food, and all the vintage details, it was easy to snap a few great shots and enjoy the whole experience from start to finish. All in all, a fun and satisfying visit. The atmosphere is what made it stand out, and I'd absolutely stop by again the next time I'm in town.

Well not too much to say…read more While visiting the amount of places that are open on Monday in the evening isn't very many. So we decided collectively as a team to try Bubba's 33! Menu has very many options. Almost too many! It's a bar/pub style chain. I ordered the Smash Burger and added an egg. It was delicious I'd give it a 7/10 Fries were a little bland.. Overall I'd visit again to try something else. If you're looking for a decent bite to eat and want something semi fast. This place will fill your cup.

Stopped in based on Yelp reviews after some pickleball/racquetball nearby. The place was loud and…read morevibrant (those are compliments for a sports bar) and there were plenty of TVs and entertainment around us. The beer prices were great. The food prices were a bit steep. We ordered a personal pizza (BBQ Chicken Pizza) and a Sunshine burger (the two things the signs on the way in say were their specialties). My son said the burger might be the best one he's ever had - and this is a kid who orders a burger at almost every new restaurant he tries! It looked delicious, and was cooked correctly. He loved the tater tots as well. My pizza was not great. I loved the BBQ sauce, and the chicken was super tender. But I would estimate that each slice was about 30% crust. The crust was so big that I asked for a side of ranch so I could treat them more like breadsticks than pizza crusts. The people making the pizzas need to stretch the cheese and toppings closer to the edge of the pizza so I'm not just buying doughy bread. Bubba's 33 was a fun atmosphere, good sports bar, and the burger was great, but I wouldn't bother with their pizza - there are dozens of better options nearby that aren't mostly bread.
