Went on a Wednesday around 6:00 for some dinner. There were only a couple people at the bar. We were waited on right away and brought our drinks. Food was made right away and brought out and hot and fresh. Condiments were brought to the table. The homemade ranch is great. Prices are really good for the amount of food you get. Burgers are amazing. Fried mushrooms and onion rings were so good. Fries were nothing special. The place hasn't been updated in decades but thats okay, thats what makes it special. Took me back to when we used to go there when I was younger. Will definitely be going back sooner. read more

Heck's Bar - Menu with prices - April 2026 - Bars Near Me - Kinde, Michigan

Such a damn good burger EVERYTIME! Sorry no pics to share this time, lol. We stopped in (again) on Saturday Jan 20th and brought my bff. She ordered the jalepeno burger with fries. She ate the whole burger. She loved it. I ordered (my usual) bacon cheeseburger. It has velveeta (squeeze cheese) and bacon bits. (Their burgers have that cheese unless another is requested). I of course added lots of pickles and onions from the table side condiment container). I added some mozzarella sticks to share also. Our other friend ordered the deep fried mushrooms to share. They were sliced portablella mushrooms....delicious with cocktail sauce. The owner is a very personable and friendly man that always checks to see how your food is. We always tell our friends about Heck's bar and will continue to go back everytime we're nearby. read more

Heck's is definitely a classic dive bar. Food and drinks are cheap and about what you expect from a bar in the literal middle of nowhere. It's fine if you're passing through but not something I'd go out of my way to eat. Service was fine. read more

Great Burgers in dive bar setting. Good prices and good beers. Friendly owner. Locals know.

This place is in the tip of Michigan's Thumb near Pinnebog, between Caseville and Port Austin (aka: the middle of nowhere). The bar opened in 1953. The Heckleburger started in 1966. This place has been owned by the Heck family since they opened. Bob 2 (aka: Robert Heck II) currently runs it. WOW their burgers are good. Try the Olive Burger with Cheddar and make it a Heckleburger (aka: two patties). They're also known for their Friday Night Fish Fry. read more

Have only seen establishment in as a passenger in a car driven by on the road though it looks open and people go there because of the cars parked outside, always looking for a place to stop and have a bite when traveling read more

I loved the reviews of this place and I really love a great dive bar. We did like the bar itself. The service was ok - nothing real outstanding. We ordered a burger and a perch dinner. We waited on our food for almost TWO HOURS. Yes. Two. Hours. We ended up requesting our food to go because we had to get back to where we were staying for the night. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this was hopefully a one-off type of situation, but we did enjoy a few drinks while we waited! Ha! I would go back - with the hopes that the experience will be a bit better. The food was good - even though it was cold by the time we eventually got to eat it. read more

Burgers are great! Owner is friendly. Very good varieties of beer! A must visit for the experience of a local bar.

The Friday night Fish Fry is the best in the Thumb. The bar may not have the newest interior but it is clean and the staff are friendly. Prices are decent too. read more

If you are from here it is probably 4 stars, if you are not probably 3 stars. Burger was good. Hand made patty. Double burger is 1/2 lb. Condiment tray is nice, diced onion, pickle chips and relish. It just wasn't super great. I read good things about the onion rings. Thought they would be home made but they are not. Not bad but pretty standard smaller onion rings. Service was good and price is not bad. Not sure why this is listed a $$. Prices are generally below $10. The double burger was $7 read more

Best bar in town, for sure. Good apps, great atmosphere, and service was super cool. Number 1 for a reason. read more

This place is so gross. In the summer the mosquitoes and flies are everyone the dump. The grill must never be cleaned. Once was enough.

Great again. Get the Heckleburger with onion rings. The drive from Caseville is only about 8-10 minutes. Get to see part of Michigan you can't find off I-75. read more

Good food and people. Perch dinner on Fridays are spot on. Always goes down smooth with an ice cold Budweiser

Excellent burgers and staff. Got the olive burger with the bartenders recommended velveeta cheese. Busch Light Bottles, this place is the bomb. read more

Classic up north bar and grill. We found many articles online boasting about this placing have great hamburgers and they were right. This would be considered a "dive bar" so do not go in there with unrealistic expectations. The few times we have been here the service has been swift and the food hot and fresh! Will be back again before the summer ends. read more

Not a great burger. Glad it was open when we needed a meal. Staff was friendly but won't likely be back.

Great place as long as you don't judge a book by it's cover. In the middle of nowhere but worth a little side trip. Great food. We had a group of 5 and all had different burgers and all the different fried sides. The onion rings were awesome. Hubby liked the mushrooms a lot. The staff was really nice. The list of craft brews, ciders, etc was really well stocked. A great place that we will definitely be back to. read more

The Heckleburger was really tasty. The thing with the burger is the taste of the burger itself. Juicy delicious beef. The bun complimented the burger really well as it didn't overwhelm the taste of the burger itself. Accompanied by a great condiment tray of sweet onions, pickles and relish. But wait... there more! Try the onion rings! Bite into them and it's a crispy crunch and the onion doesn't slide out. How do they do it?? Think it has something to do with a well seasoned griddle and fryer. Service was great. Awesome beer selection too! Go to the middle of nowhere and you will not be disappointed. read more

The best Burger on the east side of Michigan. Have enjoyed for 40 plus years of summers. I must stop if you are in the thumb. D. Leitch read more

Heck's Bar - The BEST burger in Huron County... maybe the Universe!!! - Bars Near Me - Kinde, Michigan

Really interesting place! The menus jest at the fact that it's more than a little off the beaten path which is true but an easy place to stop at if you are on your way north to the beach. The inside is straight 1960s and is usually surprisingly steady with patrons. Pick from the charactered seating options and start pouring over the 8x11 menu print out. If you are here on Friday, get fish. If you are here another day, get a burger. My fav is the olive burger with deep fried cauliflower. The owner has been there every time I have and he has never led us down the wrong path when ordering beer, in fact he is more knowledgeable about it then some tour guides at actual breweries. When the food comes out you get a pretty cool selection of condiments with my fav being the honey mustard. read more

Finally stopped in this place after driving by for 40 years!!! They have a huge craft beer selection!! Not much in the wine category, but the cocktails are fine... We had lunch here three days in a row because the burgers are outstanding!! Don't let the outside deter you, come on in, to the center of the universe. read more

We use to eat there in the late 90's and it was so good! Then when the son took over it was terrible. I recently heard that they had changed so we tried it again. We both ordered their olive burger which was pretty good My only real complaint is that the bottom bun was so soggy that it was finally impossible to hold the burger to finish it. I'm not opposed to going back. I will be sure to tell the girl to please drain the grease off a little before putting on the bun read more

Stopped at Heck's nearly by accident. We were on our way to Port Austin, MI. 1st bar we drove by after leaving I-69 and M-24. Small place but well stocked beer coolers from domestic to micro brews. Fish fry on Friday looked delicious and the staff said burgers their speciality. Will check both of these out next trip up. I agree the owner wants to make sure you enjoy your food and visit. read more

This place was a pleasant surprise. We had just come from Kinde after enjoying a meal at the Pasta House and were rolling by Hecks in the tiny little crossroads of Pinnebog and Kinde. The place was packed with summer locals who where trying to avoid the crowds in Caseville and Port Austin. The beer selection was good with several craft beers on the list. It was not overly loud and well lit. The decor is dated but charming if you have a good attitude about where you are at; in the middle of nowhere. We will be back. Biker friendly. Full kitchen. Quick service from a well seasoned staff. read more

The food doesn't look like much...but the taste is great! This is a bar that serves food and does a good job of it. The wait staff is always friendly and efficient. The owner always wants to make sure everything is good for the customers too. I am never disappointed when eating here. read more

Great bar burgers, well stocked, and overall fairly priced... A great place on the way up to Caseville. Been coming here for years and will certainly come back again. read more

Excellent service and food! It is a must stop place. Even though there may not look open, they are! Stop and enjoy!!

So, after about five years of driving by this place we decided to finally stop in today and check it out. I have to say I'm quite surprised! Don't think this is some diamond in the rough, but if you're looking for local place to grab an awesome burger and a very reasonable priced beer, this is your place. I was very impressed with their drive to source and buy local. For this reason alone I'll be back. Oh, and he burger was awesome! Glad we stopped. read more
