Solid burger, but plays it safe. Characteristics: Soft brioche bun and gooey cheese. Burger is not a smash style and lacks a crispy crust. More of a medium to soft bite of burger. Cooking style is trying to maximize the juiceness. Shredded lettuce was in the mix. Requested extra pickle. 14 dollars plus tip. Almost want to cook myself. Not a bad burger, nothing unique flavor wise. Cute branding. Comes in a colorful bag and box. read more

As fans of Grey Ghost, we were overjoyed to hear that they were opening a take-out burger joint in our hood. Once the hubbub died down a bit I ventured out to bring home some burgs, and they exceeded expectations! A little less rich than the original GG burger but still delicious, with all components contributing to the overall texture and flavor (quality meat cooked medium, saucy, lettuce-y, soft bun). The fries are crispy and served with their own dippin' sauce. The chicken tenders are juicy and BIG. The service is excellent. There is limited seating (as it mostly take-out) but there is plenty of outdoor picnic space to take advantage of in the warmer months. A tasty twist on the neighborhood burger joint which has been added to our rotation. Bravo! read more

10-3-2025 The double ghost burger is one of the best in SE Detroit. Savory, greasy and well seasoned. We also tried the Nashville chicken sandwich-WOW! Couldn't resist the donuts too. Def returning to this most excellent establishment. read more

Do yourself a favor and save your time and money. There are a handful of better burgers just in the immediate area. The food was mediocre, the staff were rude, and the prices are inflated. Classic example of trying to live off the name, as their other site has a good reputation, but not delivering. Very disappointing. read more

I ordered a burger and fries. Once home I bit into the burger and it was a mushy consistency. Yes it was Raw. How hard is it to cook a burger. Before reviewing I read others had the same experience. Certainly wouldn't drive back to wait in a line to return. Wasted money and time. You lost my Buisness. read more

What a delicious freakin' burger in the prettiest little violet building. Bonus points for having a section of bare grass just to let any kiddos run whilst waiting, and there were quite a few kiddos with menu options available just for them! Plain and simple, everything was pretty d*mn good! We ordered two singles, one hotdog and one order of chicken wings. Absolutely everything was hot and fresh and had pretty good flavor; the fries were downright tasty with their seasoning alone. Our chicken wings were forgotten at first, but they were ready and waiting when we walked back inside to get them. The building is very quaint so the line often went out the door, but service was steady nonetheless. I wish I had taken a photo or two for sharing, but I was pretty hungry and scarfed my food down. We'll definitely be back! read more

Good, not great... We tried a few items from the menu. Nashville Chicken Sandwich was tasty. Their burgers are a little too rare for my liking personally- but if you like a med rare-ish burger you might dig it. Thought the "ghost sauce" on the burger would be spicy- like a ghost pepper- it was not. Our wait wasn't too bad- but I wouldn't necessarily stand in a crazy long line for what we had. I drove by on my way home from work and there was no line so you could say the opportunity presented itself. Overall good, not amazing. In fairness, we've never eaten at Grey Ghost so don't have anything to compare to. read more

Solid burgers and fries. Staple and classic menu and done well. No gimmicks just easy and fast to grab and go

Best burger in Metro-Detroit, very kind and hard working staff. Very successful opening and they've handled it all with smiles and kindness... read more

I really, REALLY wanted to love this place. The marketing and layout of this place is incredible. However, after the Nashville Chicken sandwich, I have to complain about the quality and taste of the food. The chicken sandwich was $13, and I would gladly pay it to Little Ghost for being such a cool looking place. AS LONG AS the chicken was good. It wasn't. The chicken was almost totally inedible. The chicken was like tread on a tire. I had to literally tear off parts of the chicken to try to eat SOME parts that were ok. By then, the bun was falling apart and was difficult to hold. It turned out to be the worst chicken sandwich I ever had. I took pictures of this disaster.. read more

Oh my Gosh. I have been waiting so long for little ghost to open and it was completely worth the wait. Between the cutest quaintest interior to an amazing burger at an amazing price I've found my new burger place in Ferndale. read more

Little Ghost - Double with fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Thought I'd upgrade my grandkids ask for McDonald's nuggets. I drove 10 miles, one way, to purchase 3 chicken tenders. The five year old declared that I had made a mistake, bringing an ineatable alternate, that my wife concurred they were extremely overcooked. The fries were acceptable. One of the dogs seemed like it didn't mind. Beware. No good deed goes unpunished. read more

Tried out Little Ghost today for the first time. Service was friendly and fast. The food was delicious as well! The hot dog has a hint of sweetness, and the crunch from the cheese added a unique texture. Chicken sandwich was flavorful and crispy and has just a hint of spice. The double patty burger was delicious as well, although I do wish the lettuce was cruncher for a contrast in texture. Would go back again and recommend to friends and family! read more

Little Ghost - Hot Dogs Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

I visited Little Ghost within a few days of opening and the line was around the building, but it was worth the wait! The burger was amazing just as it comes and the fries were some of the best in town. I got the single burger and could only eat half. The staff was overwhelmed by the number of customers, but could not have been kinder! Can't wait to go back! read more

Little Ghost - Hot Dogs Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Double burger pink was tasty. Fries were good too. All tasted fresh and it is cooked to order.

This restaurant delivers a very solid dining experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt welcoming and well-designed--elegant without being intimidating. The staff was attentive, professional, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was clearly made with high-quality ingredients and careful preparation. Each dish was well-presented and flavorful, with a nice balance of creativity and comfort. While the menu wasn't overly large, it offered enough variety to satisfy different tastes. One or two dishes stood out as exceptional, while others were very good but not quite unforgettable. Service was timely, and the pacing of the meal felt just right. Prices were on the higher side, but reasonable for the quality, service, and overall experience provided. Overall, this is a restaurant I would confidently recommend for a nice dinner out, special occasions, or anyone looking for a refined but relaxed meal. It may not reach five-star perfection, but it comes very close. If you want, I can make it shorter, more casual, more formal, or tailored to a specific type of restaurant (Italian, steakhouse, seafood, etc.). read more

Stopped in for lunch. One cheeseburger, one double cheeseburger, two orders of fries and two bottled waters, $40 and change. Burgers tasted very good. Dipping sauce portion was tiny. read more

Would go again! Pretty yummy! Service was cool! There is only a few tables on the inside but I ate to go!

Wife and I Ordered carry out from here two burgers two fries kids hot dog and some chicken tenders. Got home and found the chicken tenders were never bagged up with our order. The food was good but expensive feeling like we got screwed. Make sure to check your whole order before leaving the restaurant. read more

Great service good attitude good atmosphere it's good location great good people always

More like 'meh' ghost. Burger not well seasoned - bland. Overpriced for what it is. Donuts may be gluten free or missing an ingredient or two as they just aren't good. Fries good. Just don't dip 'em in the sauce. Really wanted it to be great. Oh well... read more

Tried for the first time last night. 1st you really need to order, as I went in and ordered and it took forever. However ordered 3 singles and 2 fry's and the donuts. The burgers were AMAZING, simple but delicious. Fry's were salty but good and crunchy, no salt next time. Don't know what the fancy sauce was, tasted like ketchup and mayo nothing fancy. The donuts were excellent. Overall if the fries weren't salty I would give 5 stars read more

I was patiently waiting for Little Ghost to open up, and was ecstatic when it finally did. However, I unfortunately did not have a good first experience. I ordered the single with a side of fries. It wasn't until I got all the way home I took my first bite. After the second bite I looked down and noticed the burger was completely raw. Looks like now I'm out $10. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope this is a one time mistake, but eating two bites of a raw burger is the worst first impression you could have. read more

Little Ghost - raw burger - Hot Dogs Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

The best of both Grey Ghost and Second best! I wish they'd offer the fried egg on the burger like they do at GG, but other than that it's perfect. Super cute, decor, although I wish there was more seating for non-Ferndale folks in the winter. It's been crazy busy every time, but they do a good job moving people through as fast as you can under the circumstances read more

1st day open and expected it to be pretty chaotic. Love that it came to the neighborhood and I can walk my dogs to pick up my food. Order online if you're walking your dogs to pick up at the side window or there are kiosks to order inside. My order was ready before the estimated time and the burger and fries were great!! There was quite a crowd and it was quite the party atmosphere . Welcome to the neighborhood Little Ghost read more

My new go to burger spot! The double, ordered no pink, was so juicy and flavorful. Also loved their music playlist.

Burgers should be beef forward and fries should be potato forward. The burgers are not fried at a high enough temperature for a heavy Maillard reaction to set in. Unfortunate to see good beef treated so poorly. The result was a bun dripping with some mayo/ketchup sauce held together with shredded iceberg with two lightly cooked beef patties. At least the bun could hold its own. The fries have an odd flavor. They taste as if they are cooked in the same oil as the donuts. Slightly sweet, but definitely not potato. Just stick to salt. As the old joke goes, the food was okay, but the service was excellent read more

A good, solid burger. Overpriced, but I don't mind paying for quality and fresh ingredients. The donuts were not cooked through so didn't eat after the first bite. Very cute space! read more

We ordered two burgers and the chicken tendies, we got a burger, the chicken sammy, and the tendies. Talk about a happy accident, Called the restaurant to let them know, they made it right, no issues. Also, got to try the chicken sammy. The burger is as good as "big ghost" and the chicken sammy is legit. Highly recommend, great food, better customer service. Thanks Andy and crew! read more

Been wanting to try this place, staff was friendly and the place was clean. The single burger with fancy sauce tastes EXACTLY like a BIg Boy Combination hamburger. Same ingredients same taste. Wouldn't go out of my way to go here again. I'd just go to Big Boy read more

This was very underwhelming. The service was ok. The ambiance is a tiny little building with 10-12 seats. The burger and fries were disappointing, especially for the price. read more

insane. my taste and smell is very sensitive. their food was fresh, hot and cooked perfectly. i had a single pattie. and the fries were perfect. read more

Been wanting to try this place and felt very disappointed, they don't take cash in 2025 which is absolutely insane! :(

That was seriously the tasty juiciest burger that I've had. The bun was fresh and the order of fries is very generous The fancy sauce is the icing on the cake. Can't wait to go back and try the quinoa patty. The service was quick even though they were busy read more

First of all, you get two stars for the fries. Why are all of your burgers pink on the inside? Please add the option to choose how you want your burger cooked onto the apps for delivery. But just in general not everybody likes a pink burger. I immediately spit mine out because it felt like I was eating raw meat. Not only that, it was cold. read more

Because Grey Ghost is top notch and we love Basan we had high hopes and expectations for Little Ghost. My husband and I wanted to try lots of things so we got a lot to split. Even though there were ingredients we might not normally want, and some sounded downright weird, (that hot dog!), we decided to get everything as they normally prepare it. Single burger: my husband really liked it and said it was better than the renowned burger at Red Coat! Unfortunately, it was my least favorite item here. It was fine, nothing bad about it but I expected to get my socks knocked off. Nashville Chicken sandwich: we both thought it was very good. Chicken exterior nice and crunchy, inside was juicy. I expected it to be spicier but still enjoyed it. That hot dog! The description sounds crazy but it was crazy good! Probably both of our favorite item and I never eat hot dogs and hate cream cheese! That weird crunchy cheese sticking out of the bun was amazing. The combo of ingredients just worked somehow. I expected to hate it but I loved it! The fries were fantastic! So fresh tasting and salty good! The fancy sauce was nothing special to me but my husband really liked it. Finally, we tried the doughnuts...wow!! So good! Definitely best hot. We snuck one on the way home and loved it. They had cooled down by the time we finished our meal so we put them in the microwave for about 15 seconds and they were great. Again, I didn't love the sauce, I preferred them without it but my husband really liked it. We got take out and we don't live very far so everything was still nice and hot when we got home. I think that helped make everything taste best. The service was fast and pleasant. They said 15-20 minutes but it was ready in 10. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal. I'm sure this will be one of our regular spots now. read more

Ordered 4 burgers and fries. Some of the best fries that I have eaten in a long time. The burgers were cooked just right. Definitely worth the drive. Service was good too. read more

We went 8/28/25 to give it a try. We got 1 double, 1 single, 1 chicken sand, 2 fries, 1 kid dog & donut holes. $66 plus tip. I can live with the price because i knew the prices before i ordered, but what we got was less than acceptable. The hamburgers were just ok, the single was rare and the double well done. We asked for all sauces on the side ( got burned by that before with sauce that overpowered the burger) one the chick sand we asked for the slaw on the side and rcvd none. They forgot the fries & we had to go back withe bag that ripped cause it was way over-packed. The donut holes were rubbery with watered down sweetened condensed milk as the sauce. The ketchup was unable to be opened without a jackhammer. The guy at the register seemed indifferent with music playing right above the register to the point he couldn't hear me nor me, him. All in all, it was barely ok. The place was clean, but then again, its a newly refurbished building. We wont be back. For that price point you have to "bring it", and they did not. I was really hoping for a decent burger joint in ferndale.... The search continues.......oh, and the ghost sauce, is tarter sauce. Glad i got it on the side. read more
