    CHICAGO DOG grilled chicken salad
    Eva Razaria S.

    Lov-a Burger is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it gets. The menu, a solid 810 out of 10, delivers freshness in every bite. The gluten-free buns add a thoughtful touch, making it inclusive for all. The burgers are not just good; they redefine the burger experience. The shakes are a delightful indulgence, the fries boast a buttery perfection, and the salads are a standout with flavors that leave a lasting impression. Freshness is the constant theme, evident in every dish. The juicy chicken adds another dimension to their already stellar offerings. Being a small business, Lov-a Burger impresses with the speed at which the food is ready, served piping hot. Zero complaints seem inevitable when each visit reaffirms the consistency and quality. It has become a go-to spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - a testament to its wide appeal. What sets Lov-a Burger apart is not just the exceptional food but also the affordability. The prices make it a clear winner, surpassing any other burger joint in value. Since discovering this place, I haven't looked back. Lover Burger has secured its place as my favorite, and I can't recommend it enough for those seeking fresh, delicious, and budget-friendly meals. The family that operates lov-a burger are by far some of the kindest people and their service is definitely worth the while!

    This place is very unassuming and easy to miss if you're driving up and down Gratiot Ave. I kept it simple with a burger and onion rings. The decor is humble to say the least and the food does not look special, but I was more than pleased by my burger and onion rings. The cook and waitress were also very polite and happy that I enjoyed my lunch.

    We walked into this restaurant to try it out because I was craving chilli cheese fries. It's a super cute and small homey restaurant. We ordered at the front. I ordered chilli cheese fries and sliders. My husband ordered the volcano burger. We sat down at a table next to a gentleman. He told us that he has been coming here for a long time and loves the food. We got super excited. When my food came out, I will admit the chilli cheese fries looks mosleading in the photo. As soon as I started eating the top fries, I noticed the cheese and chilli went all the way to the bottom. It was almost like they layered it, put some fries then chilli and cheese and fries again. It was a lot more chilli and cheese, which was a happy surprise. The fries were delicious. The sliders were super fresh and tasted amazing. My husband enjoyed his burger. He said the flavors went together well. He absolutely loved the curly fries. The guy next to us told the owner to bring his seasoned mix and my husband said it tasted amazing. So next time we will ordered seasoned fries. We talked to the owner when we were walking out. He asked us how the food was and we told him we loved it. He has been in the business for 8 years. We will definitely be back again!

    Ordered delivery and the cheeseburger was so good. Fries were a bit soggy, but probably because it was delivery.

    Slider basket. Added onion rings for extra $4.99

    Stopped for lunch and got sliders and double cheeseburger with fries and onion rings with water and tea. Great service, great food, and the only reason not giving 5 stars is the price. $7.49 for a cheese burger, $4 extra to make it a double, and $5.99 to add waffle fries and the tea. My 3 sliders was $7.99 and onion rings was $4.99 and $1 for ranch. Our total lunch bill was $33. I know I know, family owned and operated and inflation but damn, hard to go out these days.

    Lov-a- Burger has curbside pickup and it's easy to order online. I noticed there are extra fees with using both pick up and online orders its a couple of extra dollars but its worth noting so you are not surprised. We both ordered wraps and cajun fries. The food is decent. I asked for no tomato, but it was still there so that was disappointing. We also got drinks which Lov-a Burger carries Coca-Cola products. I would be willing to try the burgers next time as that is the most raved about in their reviews.

    My husband and I were in the area for a job site. He said he wanted to try this burger place. At first I thought it was going to be like a no good fast food burger place. Once inside the customer service was great the atmosphere changed. It was a clean small little restaurant. So many choices and it smelled amazing. My husband got the lov-a-burger special with fries and I got the LA-volcano burger with onion rings and a pineapple shake. These were like homemade burgers but better! Cooked well and just tasted absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend skipping the 5 franchise places on the same street and going here for any burger fix!

    We live near here and I have wanted to try it, but can never tell when it is open. Every time we drive by the lot is empty and it looks dark inside. It has good reviews. Do most people just order carryout or something?

    I've only ever ordered take out. Inside is nice but small. I would think if you dine in you'd only be the 15 min tops . Like a fast food place in terms of in and out not really like a sit down and stay an hour place. Food is excellent though

Tons of TVs, but still clean and not grimy at all. Even the bathrooms were super clean, which I always notice. The food is good and the portions are huge. Everything leans a little pricey, even the kids meals, but you are absolutely getting your money's worth. The adult meals came with a straight up mountain of tots. I'm not exaggerating. Like... a pile. My son got the cheeseburger off the kids menu and it was honestly big for a kids meal. He was pumped. And $2 for a 22oz Coors Light all day? That's a win. Service has always been fine for us. Lots of younger girls working as waitresses and we've never had anyone rude or inattentive. Nothing over the top, just consistent and friendly. There are random pinball machines and games in the back which feels kind of unexpected but fun. It's a great spot to watch a game, bring the kids, or just hang out. Just know your bill might be a little higher than you expect, but you won't leave hungry that's for sure.

Not dark and dingy and wondering what's going on when sitting inside. Bri, our bartender/server was professional with a smile, good at her job and a personality.

We will be come ng back to hopefully see Bri and enjoy another good meal. Worth the ten mile drive. Thank you

I personally liked the sweet potato fries as well, they were crisp and crunchy and not over oiled. However, the service couldn't have been more disappointing for us. There were easily 15-20 people on the floor at any given moment and it still took 25 minutes to get a soda while sitting right next to the soda machine. It was ironic because we had to watch like 5 wait staff scuttle away from our table while being seated because we would not be seeing anybody else to wait on us for 10 minutes. The bus boy showed the most friendliness and was on top of his job more than anybody else around. The corned beef egg rolls were just fine and the burgers were alright. The only reason I would return would be for the music.
