Good, not great. I'd eat here again if someone else wanted to go, but I wouldn't seek it out. I would choose five guys over little ghost. The Burger: The patty is the highlight. It has perfect density, is well-seasoned, and is easily 15% better than a Five Guys patty. The Toppings: The lack of customization is frustrating. No extra options or toppings are allowed. It comes with American cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce (not a fan), and way too much sauce. The sauce itself is okay, but the burger was drowning in it. The Fries: Good firmness, they definitely hold their shape better than Five Guys but Five Guys' Cajun fries still win on flavor. The Value: I paid about $20 for a burger, fries, and a tip. It feels expensive, but with Five Guys at $18 and a McDonald's Big Arch meal at $14 these days, the price is fairly standard for the current market. read more

Just realized I didn't take any photos of my food lol. 3.5/5 Came here for lunch today after wanting to try this place out. It's a very small burger joint with minimum seating. Ordered a single, a double, two drinks and fries. Totally was 34$. Very expensive I feel. Food was good though. I did enjoy the burger. The single was enough. They don't have any toppings for the burger besides cheese, lettuce and their ghost sauce (basically mayo, pickles and maybe tomatoes). They do have packets of ketchup and mustard if you ask. Fries were fresh and you can tell. This was my favorite thing. They were actually very good. I didn't care for the fancy sauce too much though. But the size of the fries are shareable I feel. Overall I would come here again and try other food. But, with the lack of toppings for the price, it would steer me away. read more

We ordered a double burger, Nashville chicken sandwich and 2 French fries. The guy at the register told us the fries were small and he recommended ordering 2. They aren't small fyi - one is the size of a medium to large at McDonald's. We regretted it immediately once we saw them. A suggestion to the restaurant - please ask which sauce we would prefer. My first time here and I had no idea it was served with a special sauce instead of ketchup. Their sauce was super sweet, I didn't prefer it. Both sandwiches were good. VERY messy and hard to eat. The relish/pickles were sweet. The bottom bun on the chicken sandwich was soggy. For dining in, it took awhile to receive our food when we were one of the few ones waiting. They seem to heavily do take out vs dine in so their focus seemed more on getting through their orders than service to those dining in. read more

Meh!!! This place is greatly over hyped. We got one burger, one fry and one order of chicken fingers (just the fingers) $35. Yes $35 American dollars. The fingers, while big were extremely bland. I mean not even basic salt and pepper on them. The burger was decent and a really good size. Fries were a complete miss! The packing of this carry out order also left something to be desired. We ended up with their sauce all over the bag. Lid not in appropriately I'm guessing. Which meant we had to clean up before we could eat. The fingers (3 in an order) come with an Alabama bbq sauce that not good at all. The staff is in their busting their ass and moving people out quickly though so shout out to them. I don't really need to revisit this place. Once was more than enough read more

I visited Little Ghost on a Wednesday afternoon right before 4 PM which was perfect timing! I was able to snag one of two parking spaces, walk right in and place my order. I ordered the single cheeseburger medium with bacon, fries, a bottle of Fiji water and pineapple doughnuts. Total was $23.00. I received my food probably less than 10 minutes later. My fries were hot and crispy and the fry sauce they came with complemented them perfectly. The burger...omg so juicy and well seasoned, this is not a little baby burger either, it's pretty big! I enjoyed the pineapple doughnuts but they were a little too sweet, probably wouldn't get them again. read more

This place is affiliated with Grey Ghost Detroit downtown, so if you know their burgers, you already know the food is going to be good. My friend and I tried a little bit of everything. The hot dog was an interesting concept but surprisingly really good. I had the single-patty burger and it was more than big enough--and amazing. The fries were also very good, especially with the fancy sauce on the side. The place is pretty small on the inside with limited seating, but they do have a convenient takeout window outside. The staff was also very nice and helpful, which made the experience even better. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for a good burger and fries. read more

Ambiance: little location but you're aware of that going into it with the name. But it's clean and it's got a cozy diner type vibe. Service: I ordered carryout and it was done a few minutes before the eta, people were working hard and were happy to serve. Food: I'm not sure how people are hating on a spot based on dietary and allergies, just go eat somewhere else, my brother! Food was great, I got a single, pink with the ghost sauce. It was a satisfying burger. But the all beef hot dog outshined the burger in my opinion; wow, the whipped cream cheese and jalapeños and pepper jam, it's an amazing combination. The bun and cheddar create the perfect vessel for it. I loved it! read more

Great little spot, that deserves a huge spotlight. I stopped into Little Ghost in Ferndale and tried the all beef hot dog and it was incredible. The Nashville chicken sandwich (not pictured, I couldn't help myself) deserves its own spotlight too. Absolutely packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The vibe hits you the second you walk in. The place is alive with a busy kitchen, and the smell of everything cooking is unreal. You can tell they take pride in what they are making, and the energy makes the whole experience even better. The staff is always ready to help, takes your order quickly, and gets the food out as fast as they can. I have never had a negative experience here. Shout out to the whole team. 10 out of 10. I will definitely be back. read more

I don't ever eat hot dogs but having heard the buzz I tried one. It was spectacular. So I've been back 3 times since and had a hot dog all 3 times. The only hot dogs I've eaten this year if that says anything. Such complexity of flavor and texture. Their burgers are also perfectly done. Consistent. Delicious. Also during lent I had their fish sandwich. No surprise it was perfect. Nice tartar. Perfect crunch and huge. Also some of the best fries anywhere in town. Overall the best burger joint in metro Detroit. Also best hot dog I've ever had. My kids are chicken tender snobs and they love the ones here. They're huge , juicy and perfectly seasoned. read more

I'm hooked on Little Ghost, all of it - the burgers, fries, their chicken sandwich, loaded beef hotdog, and mini donuts w/ dip. Fifth time in less than a few months. This is a newer and better take on fast food burgers & fries but with great tastes, a simple yet delectable menu, and all fairly priced. The value you get is unbeatable for what I consider to be the freshest ingredient and flavorful burger you can find around town. The burger is fresh, all beef patty, that special sauce which perfectly complements the entire ensemble, fresh lettuce shreds, and I opted for no American cheese to really taste the burger, I ordered it "pink" which is like medium done. They also give you the option of ordering it well done "not pink". The fries are the best in my book especially with their fancy sauce. I usually opt for the burger and fries but also tried their loaded beef hotdog and chicken sandwich which were so good that it's now difficult to choose when ordering. The place is fairly small but clean, limited counter seating. It's reminiscent of the older burger joints back in the day (think Greene's, Hunter House) with simple menus and a few stools along the counter. Little Ghost is a modern take on that with excellent burgers and more. Don't let the long lines intimidate you, they move pretty fast. read more

Located just off of Woodward, well south of the main strip. Limited street parking, very small parking lot. Inside is a very small and trendy, but also uncomfortable bench and long table style seating system. Limited drinks available by the bottle. Obviously, the star here is the burger. It was good, and the sauce in particular was a real star. However, it was not as good as the Betty burger available at one eye Betty's about a half mile away. So I won't be coming back. Staff was great, everything was clean. read more

Little Ghost was exactly what we needed. Located on Woodward in Ferndale. Delicious late night bites! We dined in the cozy little establishment with just enough seats. The menu is simple; burgers, dogs, and chicken. Everything is made to order, and everything was over the top amazing. Totally worth the wait! The burger was juicy & flavorful, the dog was exploding with flavor & fusions! Next time I'm trying those chicken fingers, they look "fall apart tender." We finished the meal with an order of doughnut bites served with a caramel dipping sauce. Perfection! Thank you Little Ghost for being open later than the rest! We will definitely be back asap. read more

I will keep this brief. I really wanted to like this place. My mom kept trying to understand the concept of the place, which is perplexing a bit. Positives: nice char on the burger, burger itself is not too bad. Negatives: nothing special to make me come back regularly, as others have mentioned: my burger was near medium which was a surprise, brioche bun did not stand out, bun got soggy quickly, lettuce wilted quickly as well. The ghost sauce was confusing and not a positive for the burger. I wish them good luck, but at the price rate and taste, I cannot recommend it. read more

Finally tried Little Ghost today! I was pleasantly surprised by the quinoa burger. I am usually not a fan of them because they are easy to make poorly- I find they're often dry and crumbly. This burger was very soft but still had a nice shape- not mushy. The burger overall with the bun and toppings had a sort of sweet flavor- not my favorite but it was still tasty. The fries were good! Just wish they had a different sauce other than the Fancy Sauce. The Fancy Sauce was good but also sort of sweet. The inside of the building is very fun- colorful and decorated nicely, and clean. The packaging is also very fun. Elevates the whole experience. Service was quick and friendly! read more

Was super excited to try Little Ghost as a fan of the Second Best chicken sandwich. We ordered the chicken sandwich, single burger, and fries. The chicken sandwich and burger were amazing! I also loved the sauce that came with the fries. One note is that there is only seating for maybe 10 or so. They were quite busy even on a Sunday afternoon so I would not assume you are going to have seating to eat when you come in, but the vibe is super cute inside for while you're waiting and is a great takeout spot! read more

If you go you MUST try the "All Beef Hot Dog". The name doesn't do this wonderful creation justice. All Beef Hot Dog has whipped cream cheese. cheddar. pepper jelly. pickled jalapeño. The flavor combination creates one of the best hot dogs I have tried. Parking can be tricky but well worth figuring out for this wonderful creation. read more

Place is a little overhyped. Sort of like an upscale 5 guys restaurant with minimal onsite seating. The burger was all bun and no patty. The chicken sandwich was sort of gross and gray and fell apart. Trendy place to visit though with a large line that moves quick. Very limited soda collection. Feels like something that should be in Los Angeles. Good for a grab and go occasion. read more

Burgers are not better than a Big Mac but almost double the price. I ordered a quinoa burger with no cheese and got cheese. The fries and Nashville chicken sandwich were good but again overpriced. Coleslaw was prolly the worst I've ever had. Bland and vinegar tasting. For a place that is an extension of a great fancy restaurant this was a let down. Don't waste your money. Go to basement burger bar or hunters or even McDonald's and get a Big Mac watch the full review on MotorCity Foodies on TikTok insta or FB read more

Good food, but not great if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. Ordered a standard burger, and it came COVERED on pickles, even though the menu did NOT mention pickles anywhere for the burger. The fries are probably the best option. read more

I've visited the grey ghost and really enjoyed it, so I was excited to see they put the little ghost close to me. The building is beautiful decorated, my teenager loved it so much she said if they added outside sitting it would be a cool hangout. The service was quick though the menu is limited. We ordered the single with fries. Everything was delicious, my daughter loved it so much she danced. Though I wished they carried the aioli that the grey ghost has. I'll definitely be back!! read more

From the burgers to the hot dog, amazing!! Best part was the ease of mobile ordering and the fries. Great staff!

Ordered carryout for dinner. Parking is limited at the actual restaurant, but there is street parking available. Cool interior. It's small with limited seating though. I ordered the double ghost burger and fries. It was ready when I arrived (little less than 15 mins) and the bag was emitting heat so it definitely had not been sitting there long. The burger was very good. I have not had the Grey Ghost burger yet, but this took me back to RedCoat in its prime (10-15 years ago). The sauce on there was identical to that RedCoat sauce; so good. Meat was cooked to a nice medium and the simple burger worked so well. Bun was a little soggy, but I'd attribute that to not being eating right away. Is this the greatest burger I've had in the area? No. Is it extremely solid and something I'd love to have again? Yes. I was a little concerned about the fries, but they were equally as good. A simple fry done well. Good amount of salt and good crisp even after some time in the bag. The fry sauce was fine. The ranch was fantastic. Thick like a tartar sauce, but as good as Jets ranch. Really solid overall. Definite recommend. read more

Cute little spot for a picnic when the weather is warm! Seating is limited, but the vibe is nice. The burger was moist and well made (though I still prefer the Grey Ghost burger). Fries were okay--nothing super exciting. The donuts, however, are amazing, just like at their other restaurant, Basan in Detroit. I've heard the fried chicken is even better than the burgers, so I'll definitely be back to try it! read more

The burger was absolutely delicious! Cooked perfectly to medium and served fresh and hot. It was a little richer (saucier,cheesier) and sloppier than the typical fancy Grey Ghost burger, but I think that's exactly what it should be! The fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy and the chicken tenders were juicy and generous. Loved the pink and purple color scheme and the cute packaging. We're so lucky to have this in the burbs!! read more

Nothing special. Basic buger and fries.The packaging is beautiful. They need to recycle the soda bottles.

Excited to try Little Ghost, my kids and I stopped for a late lunch. My daughter was immediately excited by the purple/pink building and color scheme. Super cute logo and iconic branding. We got the Nashville Chicken sandwich, Kid Dog, Kid Burger, Fries, and Doughnuts. Sandwich was perfectly crispy and huge!!! I couldn't finish it, I have a snack for later. My kids loved the burger and hot dog. I tried bites of both and you can taste the high quality. Fries were fine for me, but the doughnuts, oh, I'd stop for just those! They don't even need the dulce de leche sauce. They are perfection. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only thing missing is a few tables outside, we sat on the grass as it was too busy inside. We will be back! read more

Delicious burger and fries! Fast service! Will definitely be back! Their sauce is really really good!!

Rather outstanding "fast food" -- although that label really doesn't do the food justice. I'm here to tell the vegetarians, flexitarians, etc that the veggie burger -- with a quinoa patty -- is fantastic. Little crunch on the outside with a great flavor. Paired with the ghost sauce and cheese; awesome. And the fries are NEXT LEVEL. Not overly seasoned, just a real authentic potato taste. They are accompanied by what they call "fancy sauce" for dipping. It kinda tastes like some advanced alchemy of ketchup, aioli and a few other things I can't quite identify -- no matter, it's super tasty. The place is essentially a walk-in (or walk-up) shop, service is quick as you wait for your food to be prepared. Long lines are more a function of the novelty than a slow food making process. And the overall design vibe is fun and engaging. Worth a special trip! read more
