    First time trying this legendary establishment and it did not disappoint! The potato was huge and…read moresoooo good! I got the house potato with chicken, broccoli, and bacon. They allow you to customize your butter, and of course I wanted it loaded up with sour cream and cheese! Service was fast and I'll definitely be back to try a different potato. Nice location in the heart of WSU with available street parking.

    This review is going to be somewhat hard. I'm a Wayne state grad (many years ago anyway) so when my…read morewife mentioned this place I said let's go try it. We went on a Saturday so the limited parking wasn't a problem but I'm sure that during the weekdays parking close would be a consideration. The menu has many choices so finding something you like shouldn't be hard as long as you want a potato base. Place was small with only a few tables (several carry outs while we were there eating). The food was made in a timely manner and all ingredient's that were fresh. Food also has a nice visual presentation. Food came in a plastic box so taking leftovers home was a breeze. Food had good taste and a generous portion size. OK, I'm saying all these good things, why no 5 stars? It just doesn't seem to meet that standard. Personally I thought it was a novel idea to try a jazzed up potato and it was, but going back, well I don't think I'll make the trip. If you're looking for a novel fast food meal with friendly service and fresh ingredients in a generous portion go here. If you're looking for a more sit down family type of meal go elsewhere. So you see my dilemma, there is nothing to ding this place for. It's a solid value but just isn't my cup of tea. Would I recommend this place? Sure, with the understanding of just what it is and no more. Clean fast friendly service fresh food ingredients presented well with a novel twist but I would suggest that they try putting some beans and/or chile over the potato's. Go ahead give this place a try for yourself. See if you think it's worth 5 stars.

    I forgot this place was here as the bridge over Anthony Wayne drive to 3rd Street got taken out,…read moreseemingly forever and the bridge over Second was awol for the longest time, getting replaced by a new one that's trying really hard to be a landmark. All that made this area a big dead end it made no sense to venture into if you're not a Wayne State student or employee. This Sevs does some serious business. I'm guessing it does the most volume of any 7-11 in Detroit. Only the one on Jefferson between downtown and Belle Isle and the one in Cadillac Square offer any real competition and I'm guessing this college Sevs crushes em. Parking here sucks. I'm not keen to feed the meters and even if i was spaces are scant. Late night on the weekends, though, after metered hours, when I'm getting off my restaurant job grind and have a taste for some junk food this place is banging. Like crazy busy. Like I almost feel like I'm in an 80s movie or TV show where the convenience store is this happening hangout. There's more space here for hot food - pizza, wings, hot dogs, taquitos, etc - than I've ever seen at a Sevs and they keep it moving, too. The hot dogs are no doubt unhealthy but I at least feel like they haven't been rolling around on those metal cylinders for hours. The slurpee and Big Gulp stations are bigger than usual as well. And there's usually three employees on as opposed to the one or two you'd usually see. Even still the line at the checkouts gets stacked pretty deep - seven, eight or nine at times. One night I came in a bit earlier, around ten and it wasn't jumping, only a couple other patrons besides me. Late night, though, students with snack attacks are rolling deep. As you can imagine things can get pretty messy here sometimes with all that foot traffic. The employees do a reasonable job I'm sure but the customers just work even harder at tearing this place up. The trash can by the hot dog station just isn't close enough to it either. The cops are ALWAYS in here, too, even more than a regular 7-11. That night I came in earlier than usual was I think the only night I didn't see police in here and I've probably been to this Sevs at least 7 or 8 times by now. No good cheap dollar beverages here, they only stock the big Arizonas and even waters run more than a buck. They do actually have a couple functioning water fountains, though, for some reason. This 7-11 is just really extra and sometimes I'm in the mood for that and sometimes not. If you need late night convenience around here after the mighty Marcus Market closes and you don't feel like fighting the crowd here I recommend Midtown Market.
