Best Burgers in Jackson! This is the way burgers should be made, Old School. Now the last I knew they are cash only so for those of us that pay with app or card be prepared. It is kind of embarrassing to have to run to an ATM after you have eaten. Dinning area is tight, this is a small building with a small "U" shape counter. But do not despair there is always take-out. I love this place! read more

I loved their cheese burger well done w/ everything on it super good very light & fluffy. Fries need some help with seasoning but customer service is great!!! Asking for a tip before I pay for my order though is kind of tacky read more

Sooooo good. Old school, delicious, no screwing around. Very nice people. Come. Here. read more

Schlenkers Sandwich Shop - Bar - Burgers Near Me - Jackson, Michigan

It has been a hot minute since I was here. My grandfather brought me in for lunch after a round of golf. From what I remember, the burgers were juicy, full of flavor, and oozing with melted cheese. Unfortunately, I was too young at the time to wash it down with a beer, but the Coke was just fine! I don't remember exactly when it was that this occurred. But, I didn't have my own car yet, so I had to have been 15-17. I'll be 62 this week. So, a good 45 years ago or so. From the looks of the reviews, things haven't changed! read more

Consistently great burgers. It's a cool place to sit at the burger bar and have a meal and chat with your neighbor.

A fabulous burger. Perfect burger to bun ratio that allows you to taste the meat. Olive burger with sauce is even better. This burger never disappoints. Always friendly and fast service . Step back in time and eat at this lunch counter. read more

Ordered a double cheeseburger deluxe, very good. I wouldn't say it was amazing but a very good burger. $11 wasn't bad. The building is pretty cramped, only seating is at a wrap around counter. Also have seating outside. read more

Love this place! Very unique. If you are bringing a big group, get takeout. It's tiny.

Good old time burger joint in business since 1927. I was visiting from out of town and stopped here because I ate here as a kid. It was as good as I remembered from my last visit 50 years ago! Onion rings were wonderful! My. Diet Coke was ice cold! read more

Jackson is my hometown and I come get a burger almost every time I visit my parents. There is limited seating (10ish seats) in the trailer and it is almost always full so lots of people get their food to go. There isn't a bathroom. The food is fairly inexpensive but it is cash only. The burger is crisped on the outside and tender on the inside & the bacon is fried up perfectly crispy but not crunchy. The buns are so soft and the whole thing just melts in your mouth. They cut it in half too which makes it more manageable to eat. Best burgers around! read more

I've been coming here since I lived in Jackson as a child. The burgers are reliably tasty, as are french fries. no frills, no ambience. Just a lunch counter and a satisfying burger experience. read more

Great food, service was excellent, small diner atmosphere. Opened in the 1920's!!!highly recommend

The best burger in Jackson! No frills and totally tasty! Remember this is a cash only place. The prices are fair for the portion received. There is a small space to eat indoors and a few picnic tables outside but we usually just take it to go. You won't be disappointed if you are looking for a tasty burger without a bunch of other stuff getting in the way of the beefy flavor. So good! read more

Good food. Wish they had a website or active Facebook page with an updated menu. Can't complain about the food though.

One fantastic burger. All around a great place to eat a burger and fries. Service is excellent and its like an old time burger place

Great food and great attitude from the staff. They hustle and the food is great. Get there early because they have limited seating but worth the wait read more

Loved this burger joint! It was CASH only but there's an ATM at the party store next door, in case you forget. Delicious food and great service. The staff was very friendly. I ordered the single bacon cheeseburger deluxe w/ everything sauce, fried cauliflower, and a slice of the Mt . Berry pie. The burger was juicy and so tasty. The fried cauliflower was hot and crispy but would order the small next time.The pie was excellent; had blueberries and a tasty crumbly oat topping. Would definitely come back! read more

Had the double cheeseburger and was awesome as always! The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great!! Love this place!!

Heard they had a awesome burger and fries with some kind of secret special relish, stopped in and was not impressed. Average burger like at home in a frying pan and the fries were nothing special and the secret relish looked at tasted like regular relish mixed with mustard. First impression was enough for me. I wont be returning for just below mediocre food. Sorry but I dont pull punches. read more

I'm in udder disbelief at the cost of their food! They charged $8.30 for a burger and then unbeknownst to us they charge a dollar for lettuce and tomato! They haven't updated their menu online to reflect the price change. Today was our 1st and last time getting food from here! they also charged a 10% fee for having over $70 in food! We will NOT be ordering from them again! It's highway robbery and very deceiving!! read more

Basically a gourmet burger that you design, made to order and always fresh. They may close early if they run out of meat

Pretty mich carry out and only take cash but this is like going back in time to the 50s. Hand crafted burgers on std buns. Nothing fancy just delicious! read more

While waiting for a surgical procedure at nearby Henry Ford Allegiance, I decided to walk to Schlenkers - only 8 minutes away. I got the double bacon cheeseburger, and it did not disappoint. Decided to take it to go, as I needed to be close to the hospital for when surgery was complete, so they gave it to me wrapped in foil which was a nice touch that kept it warm. Delicious! read more

Amazing burgers like your mom made you as a kid. Not much to look at from the outside but trust me, so in. You won't regret it. read more

One of Jackson's oldest gems that are still left. They have delicious burgers. If you're passing through, it's definitely a nice lunch place to stop by. read more

We have ordered take out several times,or eat in. The last few times though after we brought food home, all the burgers were made wrong. Asked for no pickles or onions,received both on all 3. I don't know what kind of buns they use anymore ...but it's like the are stale..fall apart when u try n eat. All in All the burgers are good. Service since new owners isn't the best. read more

Really? Ordered two cheeseburgers a large fry, and a can of soda. If you grew up eating these I understand the nostalgia, If you from out of town don't waste your "time. The burgers were dry and tasteless. They must not season the beef when frying on the flattop. A little salt on the fries would have helped them. Burgers should be juicy... read more

Same song and dance every time. Expect to get treated poorly for an over priced, underwhelming burger and fries. Servers are typically high school kids that don't care about working. Unless you're family to the owners or friends to the owners, avoid this place read more

So almost a year after my first review this establishment has become my favorite cheeseburger place in the Jackson area. And yes the pie although made at Napoleon Cafe is fantastic. Love this place and have become a semi regular. Would come more often if I didnt live 25 minutes away. 5 stars. read more

1. Their parking lot is small and the parking spaces prevent you from turning around properly. I hope you walk here, because good luck trying to get out. 2. You are not acknowledged immediately. If I call in and I am standing and waiting, regardless if my order is done or not, ACKNOWLEDGE ME! Ask me what I would like so I can tell you I called ahead. If my order is going to be a couple more minutes, tell me then. Don't make me wait for 10 minutes before you shout out my name. I honestly felt like either calling so the damn waitress would realize she's not cut out for her job or just walking out and letting them waste the food. 3. The burgers taste good, the fries do not. The burgers do not make up for the other two points. Fix them and I'll give you a better review. read more

Great place to eat and the cheeseburgers are to die for. Great cook, great food & great atmosphere. Nothing disappointing. read more
