Robcat Burger
Brooke Q.

My husband & I have frequented Woodward for years & we occasionally stop in Hunter House to grab some food. We were at home & decided to drive down for some burgers. They are in the process of opening their new location, so the inside is not open yet. There's a heated white tent out front where they take your order & then someone brings your food into the tent once it's ready. They do have 2 pretty big picnic style tables in there as well. We had our 5.5 month old with us, so we decided to stay in the tent & eat. My husband ordered their double cheeseburger with no onions & a vanilla shake, I ordered the Robcat Burger & then we both got an order of Mals Pals. The food came out pretty quickly & was good. I only gave 4 stars because I do feel like the burgers are priced a little higher than they should be when compared to places like Teleway which is basically the same food but cheaper. Overall, Hunter House is always a solid choice when cruising Woodward!

The best of the best sliders ever! My fav place to eat after a night out or any night for that matter. Service is quick and I love sitting at the counter facing Woodward to stare at people and cars going by. Can't go wrong with 2 double doubles and fries. Unless you're eating with more than 3 people, a small fry is sufficient. Whoever ate 5 whole onions on one burger... wtf is wrong with you but yum either way

Classic, comfortable, and affordable Driving up to Hunter House, you get the feel of nostalgia. Quaint parking lot, all white building, and billowing smoke mixed with that unmistakable aroma of burgers on the grill. The inside looks almost unchanged from the '50s with the stainless steel lunch counter-tops, spinning stools, and open concept so you could see the magic happen. The staff had great comradery and chatter behind the counter making it a jovial and lively feel. Meanwhile, a constant stream of patrons, young and old, came by both the walk-up to-go window and dine-in options to feast. The burgers themselves: Excellent. Great cheese melt. The buns are not too cakey and absorb the grease without becoming the central part of the eating. And the burger was steeped in the grease of the hundred or so patties that came before it- all of this culminating in a scrumptious and pleasant experience.

Current Hunter House location.

Hunter House moved into the KFC location half-mile down the road and their tasty burgers just dropped from a 5-star to 1-star. DISAPPOINTING. Burgers are not wrapped individudally, they're place in a styrofoam box along with fries that were not for the same person. Came home and had to separate the items and kids didn't eat their cuz the items they orded were mixed with their sibling's choices. HUNTER HOUSE IS NOT THE SAME : ( READ YOUR RECEIPT -- AUTOMATIC 20% TIP -- always tip and we ending up tipping 40% because of the chaos in the tent and the girl at table never pointed this out -- on top of the not-same-Hunter-House-food -- just an insult after injury -- first it stung but then realized the kids that are working there deserve it :)

Was in the area and figured stop in and get a couple sliders, chili fries and a strawberry shake. The sliders were good as usual nicely grilled onions and crisp pickles on the side. The chili fries were fantastic, fries were not soggy and the chili was not spicy at all but very good. The shake was good nice creamy. Friendly hard working staff. Was very busy and they were on top of everything. The place was clean for how busy they were.

Shameful double cheese burger and 20 mins after i ordered they asked if i wanted grilled or raw onions. Must of been their first day

I used to walk into Hunter House and feel the spirit of burger greatness wash over me--grease in the air, onions sizzling, the kind of ambiance that whispered, "Your cardiologist will judge you, but it's worth it." But after the move? Buddy... that spirit didn't move with them. It stayed behind like a confused house cat waiting by the old door. The new location feels like someone tried to rebuild the original from memory after getting bonked on the head with a frozen patty. The burgers taste like they're homesick. The grill looks like it misses its old ZIP code. Even the onions seem depressed--like they know they once had a purpose and now they're just... sautéed nostalgia. I'll still stop by when I'm in the neighborhood--just to pay my respects.

That's the cheeseburger

The shake was the standout of my order; however, the burger was quite disappointing, with barely any meat at all. The frozen string fries were labeled as a large size, but they certainly didn't seem like it and were served cold. I'm honestly surprised this place has managed to stay in business for so long with such low standards. If you want to keep customers, it's time to add some actual meat to your smash burgers!

Awesome, old school vibe!

I was in Birmingham for work and was asking around for a quick and delicious lunch. A FedEx employee overheard me and immediately said "hunter house". The sheer level of confidence gave me no choice. Not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised when I got there. Super small dinner style smash burgers with a line outside on a Tuesday! I got two smash burgers with bacon, some fries, and a coke... the staff was amazing, the food was good, and the price was even better - $11!!! Definitely worth a stop if you are in Birmingham, MI!

I stopped by Hazel in Birmingham after a workout because I was hungry and happened to come across…read morethe restaurant while walking around. I ordered some food, and I have to say, the customer service made my entire day! I especially want to give a HUGE shoutout to Hillary! She was so kind, welcoming, warm, and genuinely helpful. Sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference, and Hillary went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and appreciated. I hope the owner sees this review and recognizes Hillary for the amazing customer service she provides. Employees like her deserve to be acknowledged and rewarded because they truly make a difference in a customer's experience. Honestly, if Hazel could clone 10 Hillarys, everyone would walk out of that restaurant with a smile on their face! Thank you, Hillary, for being so wonderful and making my day a little brighter. Hazel is lucky to have you!

I had went to "Hazels" on the corner of Maple and Woodward in Birmingham after leaving my doctor's…read moreoffice and getting some sobering news! I've been there several times with my son and always had a good experience. However, today I walked in and it was like nobody saw me and I stood there at the entrance and I stood there. Two gentlemen came in behind me and the girl saw them and she seated them and then she saw me and she said 'are you here to eat' I said, "of course I'll take the seat by the window facing Maple" and she said "OK go ahead and I'll bring you a menu"! She never did. Eventually, the Server who was working that table. She saw me and she was training another person today and she says I'll be right with you! Well, a minute turned into another minute and another minute and several other people came in and then she came to me and said "what are you having?" I said "I don't know. I don't have a menu!" "Oh" she said "She didn't give you a menu!" I said, No, She didn't give me anything"! So the Server and her trainee went and got me a menu and a glass of water, silverware and napkin! After waiting and waiting for my server and her trainee to return and more people to be seated, my server returned and took my order! Lobster bisque and halibut with green beans no potatoes! Then, for more waiting! And I waited and waited and waiting! They brought my lobster bisque! I tell you! They just do not know how to make a lobster bisque in Birmingham thus far! Not up to par. It was orange and not a bit of lobster in it! Nor the smell of lobster was nowhere near it! I don't know what these restaurants think lobster bisque is. Did not even return to remove my bowl or replenish my water! Never saw them again! Then, I waited another long time until they brought out my main course which was pathetic and the sauce with it was so salty that I couldn't even use it so I did sprinkle some lemon on the fish and try to eat it. The best thing about the meal was the green beans! I ate part of the fish, but it was more or less tasteless! Not one time did my server come to check on me to see if everything was OK and as she was bringing me my check, she poured me some more water, that was really good. The only time she checked on me! The water. Did I tip her? Hummm NO! Oh no oh no! I'm a very good tipper for good service! What could improve? Everything!

Tonight I paid attention and all was right in my world. It's jarring when I don't. Still, throw up a yellow piece of tape or something. This is not drunk or wheelchair friendly. I wasn't either yet, so the coast was clear. We sat at the bar and it was vino for bestie- a malbec and a black cherry bourbon cola slushy and agua for me. Mike was our bartender / server and he made sparkling conversation like we were old friends. He just got back from Vegas. He went to Chinatown. Love it! The atmosphere is a light wood, sports bar feel, the tvs were closed captioned, and the menus had QR codes. There was a $30 ancho salmon on the menu. It came with my choice of side. I opted for the Greek salad. She got French onion soup and quinoa salad. Let's talk about my meal and why I'm giving 5 stars despite the whole front step thing. The salmon was perfect. It has a crispy red speckled exterior that was slightly spicy and very savory. Inside it was perfectly cooked and moist. It was just a bit less than an inch thick and pieces flaked off on my fork easily. There was no fishiness and I ate the crisp skin, which I never do usually with salmon. It was divine. It came with a side. The Greek side salad took up half my plate and it was piled high with a truly interesting and thoughtful array of quirky bites. It was weird for sure- but it worked. Picture a Greek salad in your mind. Ok this is not that. It had the usual crunchy lettuce with a light and tangy Greek dressing. There were vibrant and sweet red onions and feta. And then it got wild. There were crunchy pickled beets, roasted tomatoes that tasted like basil, sweet jalapenos, (Yes- you read that right!) crunchy fried garbanzos that tasted like Indian spices... It was the strangest and most deliberately delicious Greek salad I've ever had. I'm not a salad person. At all. This was the star of the show, but that salmon was stiff competition. Together, the meal sang. You have no idea the gratitude that swept over me after having that nursing home salmon at Red Robin for my birthday. I have been vindicated. This is the salmon I was meant to have. This is the salmon I deserve. I can now return to Las Vegas satisfied that Michigan did show up in a big way for me today. Thanks Vincetta Garage and Mike! Five stars! Fix your step.
