We got the hot honey chicken tenders which had a lot of honey on it but not quite spicy! They're a cute casual neon cafe located down a quaint little alley. There's indoor and outdoor seating as well. I appreciated the fun menu with unique dessert shakes and burgers and tenders, and I wish I was on an empty stomach so I could have tried the other items. The servers were quick and kind. read more

Mister Dips - Tenders - Burgers Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I walked past "Mister Dips" earlier in the day and thought, that looks like a good place for dinner. Boy was I right, located in an alleyway the sign drops down on the side of the building. Something I've never seen before. The restaurant was a bit busy and seating was limited so we had to wait for a seat. It was worth it, trust me. After a little wait, they called my name and my food was ready. I started with the waffle fries. They were delicious. I really enjoyed them. The buffalo chicken however, stole the show. It was crunchy, hot and juicy at the same time. I am glad I grab them! I watched the supervisor walking around whipping down tables. I thought, she definitely takes pride in her business. It made me appreciate the business more seeing that. Last I had a little room so I tried the burger. Again, Mister Dips don't miss! The burger was juicy and cooked perfectly. They have alcohol if you're interested. I myself enjoyed their selection of Boylan soda drinks. This place has it all. I have to come back. Just enjoying the customer service was enough to get me in. I wonder if they can get American cheese for my next visit. read more

This place was overpriced and not run well. Another case of a cute instagrammable spot, but that is where the fun ends. Nothing against the staff, but it was not a good experience. The ice cream did not come as presented and the flavor was bland at best. Even the cone was bad. read more

Mister Dips - S'mores cone - Burgers Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Went in to grab a dipped soft serve. The ice cream and candy coating were delicious but it came on a basic waffle cake cone that wasn't able to hold up the ice cream well. Had to get a cup to be able to eat it. The burgers and other food items looked delicious but we were only there for dessert... maybe next time. They have a cool dining area with neon lights stools, booths, etc... or you can always take it to go and hangout in the cleaned up alley way. Service was fast and friendly as well. read more

Very nice establishment. It was clean and organized. I felt ignored and put off by the person working the front of the store by him walking past and not speaking and not acknowledging our presence with a simple "we'll be with you shortly". My cousin and I ordered our food and were hammered by how we could tip, and that tips are appreciated, and we could pay for our order with a card but tip in cash. . Really dude??? He also kept pushing the tip can toward us to further encourage the activity. Sooooo.... The persons who were there when we got there are now gone. The new customers are now eating or are gone. Well, you didn't see that we have our food at this point do you-?? BECAUSE WE DON'T. Now he is in the front chatting up customers, noooo not us " we didn't tip". I think he has that backwards - maybe it's just me. So the cook, the manager or owner called him to service who was at the counter and she asked why we were still there. He called my name with part of my order wrong and why is it in a tray when I said to go. When I question it, he asked me if I was sure and told me to check my receipt. No I didn't, but now I'm not happy. I know what I ordered sir. She corrected everything told him what he needed to know and do.... The food was decent although if I had a chance to at least have a warm would have been nice Yes. I might try it again but I won't send anyone down there until I have a better experience. It won't be soon, because "I AINT GOIN BACK" And No he did not thank us for our patience for the amount of time we waited and we saw our food but wasn't sure whether or not It was ours...IT WAS...-COLD read more

I was surprised at the very limited food menu. I wasn't really in a burger mood so opted for the Chixy Dips Hot Bae. Nice sweet and spicy combination for chicken tenders. There was quite a bit of the Chesapeake spice which threw the balance off a bit. But I would order it again. Good place to come if you are looking for a place where you can enjoy some fresh air being in downtown Detroit. The windows actually open. The service was decent as they practically brought take food to us. read more

Single Dip: the burger wss mid. Its nothing you can't get from anywhere else. Lack of seasoning for sure. Dirty Dipped Waffle Fries: the best item I got. I relaly appreciate that they put cheese inside the container too, not just on top of the fries. Chixy Dips: I think those are an acquired taste. They were absolutely disgusting to me and the tenders didnt have much meat. They were hard and all skin. read more

I've eaten at Mister Dips twice, and despite inflation raising prices, I think the price hike here was still too steep. The Single Dip burger was $6.89 in November 2021, the first time I ate here, and now it costs $9.49, and you just know that these prices are never going back down again. I stopped by for the second time in December 2022 only to try the Black Truffle Dip for $11.99 because I love anything with truffle flavor. This is a limited-time burger available until January 1. I like that there are permanent benches outside of the restaurant. It isn't easy to find outdoor seating in the winter. Some may find it absurd to eat outdoors in December, but I'd rather be a bit cold than catch Covid. The food presentation is nice here and goes with the vibe of the restaurant's interior. Very chic and modern with a bit of retro diner. However, the portion is small for what you pay, and the taste is on the plain side. I didn't taste a lot of truffle flavor in my truffle burger. Under all the arugula, the beef patty is small. Same with the fries. The Dirty Dipped Waffles is Instagram-worthy but not worth $6.99. Under the queso, there are not many fries. For less, you can get a better burger and fries at Checkers and Rally's. read more

The food was great and very filling. The chicken tenders were like a dry rub/ honey sauce and the dirty dip waffles were amazing. The sauce doesn't taste like ranch, it seems like something different but it was tasty. The service was very fast and my food was still hot and fresh. It was located an alley with other restaurants, the aesthetic was nice, if you ever been to "The Belt" downtown it's like a miniature version of that. The chef even let me try some of his "secret sauce" 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Over priced small portions so AF. I waited 25 minutes for a burger and fries. Go somewhere else.

The ambience of the place is fun and nicely decorated. The staff are willing to answer the questions I had and my food was prepared fairly quickly. You order and pickup from the counter. The dirty dipped waffle fries however were a complete miss. The cheese was bland and the waffle fries were really soggy. I ended up tossing the entire thing unfortunately read more

First time trying this place and I surprisingly liked their burger a lot. I actually liked everything we got. The loaded fries though, it's only on the top of the fries so when you dig deeper, there is no toppings but I just dipped it in the hot honey that the tenders were drenched in. Some it may be too much if you get the honey chicken sticks. Overall not bad of a place and has a cool vibe! read more

This restaurant is located downtown so parking may be hard depending on the time of day. We had to pay for parking in a lot that was near the restaurant. The restaurant is nicely decorated with fun decor. When you walk in you place your order at the register and then your name is called when your order is ready. It did not take long for my food to be ready. I ordered a single burger with waffle fries. All of the items are sold separately. The food was good but definitely overpriced for what you get. The burger comes with their specialty sauce, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles and wasn't that big. After my meal I tried one of the dipped ice cream cones. When I placed my order the cashier remembered my name. I ordered the PBD cone with a peanut butter coating and a Reese's cup on the side but I got vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate. The ice cream was good but very messy. The business provides a cone holder to assist with the messiness but it still leaked. read more

We were downtown for an event, and decided to grab dinner at Mister Dips. The decor is cool, and the service is quick and friendly. The menu is brief, but has some good burger and other options, and obviously ice cream and shakes, although we had an event and couldn't get any. We got a "normal" burger and a spicy one, and both were very good. The patties could use a little seasoning, but they were nice and juicy. The buns and toppings are also very good. We got the dirty fries, they were delicious and have a kick! Next time we are down this way, I'll definitely try some of the sweets, they look epic! read more

Finally!!! I have been wanting to come here since it opened back in July, excited that I no longer had to be in New York to try it. The simplicity of its menu didn't seem to excite other friends who I was hoping would come with me, but I figured I'm starting a new job and today is a good day to celebrate that with a burger and an ice cream cone Located in Parker's Alley in the Shinola complex, it's a fun walking spot to come to if you're already in the area. This is definitely not a place you want to drive down to for its own. This is not a knock against them per se, but for the time and energy it takes to get to the city, find parking and walk over, not sure this was worth the effort. First and foremost the workers were fantastic. They were nice, quick to greet and had no problem making my ice cream after I ate my lunch. Now I don't know how much of my excitement was based on nostalgia of roaming around (no sleep til) Brooklyn, but I have to say this was not up to my expectations. I ordered the single Dip and this month's ice cream special, the lickety split. First the sandwich. This is a single, flat grilled patty with melted cheese, lettuce, pickle, mustard, ketchup and a special sauce. I'm not 100% sure that they put the sauce on the burger, but my bigger issue is for $9 this is a very small burger. The bun is large but the meat is meager. It should be half the price, if not more. But ok, at least the cone might make up for it. Well first let's just say my fat body really doesn't need a big ol ice cream cone, but if I'm paying for $6 for a cone it best be a big ol' cone. The Lickety Split is this month's special, banana-strawberry twist ice cream, dipped in chocolate, drizzled with caramel, sprinkled with nuts and topped with a cherry. It was absolutely delicious. But as with the sandwich, it left me wanting more. We are blessed to have some spectacular ice cream joints (Wally's, Erma's, Leason's, etc) that give you much better bang for the buck. While I would absolutely come here again, I would not do what I did today and go out of my way to do so. It's a fun spot to stop in if you're already in the area. read more

I can only speak for the soft serve, but it was awesome. Considering they only have 3 locations with the other two NY, this place is pretty cool, almost too cool for Michigan. I had the Chocolate PB Dip, the dip was so good, I wish I could buy it. The location is awesome in the alley. read more

Haven't tried my food yet. But the young woman taking my order was delightful. Two cooks working and I've been waiting for about 10'minutes. Place is empty, they just got a rush. I ordered a single classic and county classic. I'm excited to try both. The place hasn't been picked up so there's trash on the tables. The staff is having fun but I'm hungry. The inside is pretty futuristic lots of neon and metal. Idk if I would have a date here. More so like take it to go or with some friends. For both of my items is was almost 25 dollars. So I hope the food is good. You can get beer here. Bells, miller, and IPA and something else. Maybe a wine? Also a boozy slushy. They offer ice cream too. The menus looks to be a step up from fast food. Got home everything was gone under 20 minutes. Vegetables were very fresh, bun was a wee bit soggy other than that a good burger! The chicken was yummy. I recommend. Overall 4.1 too pricy for what it was but the food was good. But this was nothing more than 18 dollars not 25. read more

Some friends and I were going to a show at the Fox tonight and wanted to do either Penny Red's or Mister Dips for dinner. We didn't know that Penny Red's is takeout-only, so Mister Dips it was ... I had been seeing it all over Instagram and had been wanting to try it. Overall, where Mister Dips excels is its ice cream, though I suppose that shouldn't surprise me, given its name! I ordered a regular burger, no lettuce, and regular waffle fries. The burger was fine, maybe 3/5 from me, and the waffle fries were tasty, maybe 4/5. My friends ordered the sweet & spicy chicken tenders - I tried one and it was pretty good, so I'd maybe try that next time - burgers, waffle fries, and onion rings. The onion rings were also good. 3 of the 4 of us got ice cream after - one friend and I got the chocolate + PB cone, and another got the raspberry milkshake. They actually give you like a "cone guard" for the cones, which I had never seen before, and you will shortly see why ... they drip very fast, haha! Their dipped cones are similar to the ones at Dairy Queen, but definitely more high-end ... the chocolate + PB one had an entire Reese's piece stuffed into the side. I definitely got my cone ALL over the table, but it was delicious. I would definitely stop by here again for a cone or a milkshake - they also have boozy milkshakes! - but I might go somewhere else for dinner first. Overall it's still a 4 out of 5 in my book, though. read more

This place is super cute. I got the ice cream of the month in October. The "Trixy treat" it came with a little plastic spider and was just the cutest thing. The taste was great. The service was great. There is plenty of seating and they have a wide selection of food as well as desserts. I didn't eat the food there yet but I can def recommend the ice cream. This is downtown to the parking is tricky and the location is in this little alleyway so watch out for it or you can miss it. read more

Sometimes you just need a burger and chicken tenders. Sometimes you like them so much, you get them twice in one weekend! As I was looking for lunch on a Friday afternoon before attending a wedding in Detroit, I hopped on Yelp and found Mister Dips, located in a cute alley right behind the Shinola hotel. I looked at their menu and knew this would hit the spot. What I didn't know is how much I'd love this place as soon as I saw their bright neon sign outside - and then walking in to a wall of brightly colored, backlit tv screens. The 80s music was bumping and the employees were all friendly. The menu consists of burgers, chixy dips (chicken tenders), potato fries (waffle fries), dairy dips (specialty soft serve ice cream), dipsy doozy (milkshakes), boozy doozy (adult milkshakes), soda floats, and some beer/wine options. Phew! So it's basically a fun hipster diner vibe with yummy photogenic foods. On my first visit, I ordered the hot bae chixy dips, which is three large chicken tenders covered in chili-honey and chesapeake spiced oil. It doesn't come with any additional sauce like ranch, but I didn't think it needed any. The tenders were piping hot and super crispy. I liked the sweet and spicy flavor. Beware it was quite a bit of dripping oil so I needed a lot of napkins! I loved the place so much, I knew I had to bring Nate the next day. He ordered the single dip burger and I got the other flavor of the chixy dips, the county classic, which is a classic buffalo. Both were excellent! I'm glad I got to try the burger, because it was a great, tasty smash burger. The patty was crisp on the edges and seasoned well, and the toppings were all fresh. The bun was soft but definitely held up to the burger itself. I enjoyed the county classic chixy dips, too! Probably more than the hot bae, but both were good. Definitely stop in if you need a quick pick me up or hangover cure! I want to try the soft serve next time - the cones looked amazing and super tasty. Super cute vibe, tasty food, and friendly staff - I'll be back! read more

NYC COMES TO DETROIT and I stan. I suppose that's safe to say about the genius behind all of Parker Alley/the restaurants at the Shinola Hotel. NoHo Hospitality Group is helmed by Chef Andrew Carmellini -- who has been awarded a Michelin star, James Beard awardS and has been featured in Food & Wine's Best New Chefs list. Mister Dips started in Brooklyn as a seasonal food truck (in an airstream ofc) in 2016 and now has expanded with store fronts like this latest Detroit location. Mister Dips is not a huge space so when seated inside, the view of the kitchen makes for Chef-table-esque voyeurism, ha! *BBQ BACON DIP double-smoked bacon, american cheese, spicy red slaw: VERY flavorful and for a 4th of July holiday, I felt like I was celebratin' right. All the Americana picnic flavors in one burger. Just a quick note that it wasn't spicy at all to me. The potato bun is VERY Shake Shack-esque but whatever brand they use seems fresher, more pliant with that fresh bread spring. They definitely don't make it in-house though as I saw bags-on-bags (again in the open kitchen). *CHOCOLATE P.B.D. (dark cocoa, salted peanut butter drip) - wooo buddy. I would eat Mister Dips just for this. The "drip" aka outer coating reminded me of the DQ dipped cones I used to eat as a kid except make it fancy. I mean a peanut butter dipped cone?! AND! to top it off you, get a half a reese's as the edible garnish. F'yeah. If you're a reese's fan or just a general chocolate+peanut butter fan, you'll love this! I tried some waffle fries and they were solid! No complaints, but I'm definitely getting the dairy dip again and some chixy dips (sold out already or just not up & running yet). read more

Oh my gosh we were so happy here today! The whole vibe is so happy at this place- everyone working was in such a great mood! And here's a demand for ownership/company: ALLOW US TO TIP YOUR EMPLOYEES if we want to!!! Luckily I had cash- but all I had was a $5- because there was no way to add a tip to my credit card payment! (I asked and the manager was working the register- he said it isn't allowed!??). Listen, if you have these great employees setting this happy vibe, you'd better let me add a tip to my bill or your employees will move o to where the lonely is at! Anyway, LOVED the boozy shakes ($11.85 each and worth it!) and the cheeseburger and the waffle fries! And like I said, fun and happy vibe. Made my day! read more

Such a cute concept located right behind the Shinola hotel. Mister Dips is a chic burger and milkshake / fries / ice cream concept and I like everything about it! I only tried a double burger but it was tasty although a bit pricey! I do wish the portion was a bit bigger but taste wise it was good. The ambiance felt fresh as there are several window seats in addition to booths and everything was clean / tidy which I appreciated. Does it beat in-and-out burger? Nope, but if you're in the mood for a burger before heading to a nearby sports game or such, the location sure is convenient! I did not try to loaded waffle fries but those looked highly tempting! The ice cream and milkshake combos also were creative, one involving strawberries and nilla wafers. I would visit again if I was around this area. read more

Definitely a solid 4 star spot. I would rank food for price and serving a strong 3, but the staff and milkshakes got me to 4 star. The food: We tried the single dip burger, bacon bbq burger, regular fries, and loaded (dirty) fries. The burgers were nothing too special and and a bit pricey for $6-8 burgers sold separately (small burgers as well). Then add an extra $3-5 for fries. The loaded dirty fries were delicious but missing sour cream in my opinion. The drinks: we had the blackberry buttermilk shake and the slippery banana milkshake (a boozy shake) and both were delicious. The boozy banana shake reminded me of a mudslide, but the blackberry buttermilk shake will keep me coming back here alone. It's that good. All in all food is decent, shakes are delicious, and staff is friendly. This New York based joint definitely has NY prices...a $45 lunch for 2 people is a bit steep. read more

So the inside of Mr. Dips is super cool and trendy looking, so I bit the bullet and decided to order something, which was the grasshopper. So aesthetically, the ice cream looked really cool and insta-ready. But appearances were deceiving. The mint tasted artificial like a cold antacid with no chocolate even though most grasshopper treats are chocolate-mint. It was a mild, cool evening and the ice cream was already melting in the shell so as soon as I bit in, it was melting out. I made a mess, gave up and threw it out (after I got my pic). read more

Dropped in after work because I was looking for somewhere to eat and I was craving a burger, fries and a crazy milk shake. Since this was 3 mins away I decided to give it a try! Staff was courteous and helpful with options since they were out of the milkshakes but still had ice cream. The ambience was very cute like retro but updated to fit a 2023 vibe, not the biggest place but it had nice wide seating. My burger was good, fresh and juicy and was cooked like a smash burger. The dirty dipped fries reminded me of cafeteria cheese sauce so it tasted almost nostalgic to me. The mint dipped ice cream was really good because I love anything mint flavored and it was probably the highly of the meal. The only thing was that this place was definitely expensive, my meal came out to $27 for just 3 items and no drink, so this would be a place I would stop in for just ice cream or just a meal. read more

I thought this place was mediocre at best. $14 for a small burger and fries. The burger itself lacked flavor and was reminiscent of a cheap fast food patty but with higher quality toppings.

Oh, man...I get so sad when a place with such high hopes ends up dashing them within seconds! I was mistakenly calling this place, "Mister Drips" all daaaaaaay, and then - they just lived up to the accidental nickname! The ice cream was dripping upon handing it to us. Our order consisted of four cones. Two of the simple twists and two of the 'fancier' options. Each and every cone was lopsided, each one more lopsided than the previous. They also sent the cones out in-between orders of hot food for other people (which would explain the dripping...) I got the 'Berry Bliss' and it was okay. Definitely not worth almost 7.00 though. I liked the shell topping and the strawberry drizzle, but the way they were made and the order they came out was so weird. They call you by name, but four cones coming out between an order before and AFTER ours with hot food... I'm just perplexed! They were NOT busy when we came in either. It was later in the evening on a SAT, but I have seen previous reviews regarding the weird wait-staff just taking their time while you wait. It was okay for a trip, but I wouldn't recommend it and I wouldn't go back voluntarily. read more
