The universal symbol for hot dogs
Fox E.

Not to be confused with the Underwearreversal Coney Island, which is where everyone shows up in panties, and wears them backwards. Fun times. Coneys are not my favourite type of food and in fact it's named after a part of New York that doesn't even have Coneys per say - just one famous old overrated hot dog place called Nathan's. But here in Detroit Coney is the way of life and it is part of the culture and it's stitched into the fabric of Eastern Michigan. And some of these places are really bad and will make you run to the bathroom, whereas some of them are actually good and will make you run to the bathroom. Notice the common thread. Porcelain altar. I highly recommend you give a few of them a try when you're in town especially the late night ones near downtown. This one on the other hand is out in the suburbs and also is a late-night destination and I think it's pretty good. Service was nice and the products were tasty and even though it's probably more of a three or four star place the fact that it's open 24 hours, and the fact that it's a local tradition and these places must be supported and must stay in business to keep the character of Detroit in Detroit.... then I have to give it Cinco. Just hold De Mayo. Thx. And no ketchup plssssssssss.

No return policy posted

I'd give negative zero if I could ... I came here to order a simple bacon egg lettuce and tomato... they couldn't even get that correct I asked for a refund they said they don't offer refunds, however they do not have signs posted anywhere on the business regarding a return or order policy. I've contacted the better business bureau while sitting out front. And I'll be contacting small claims court for my refund pain and suffering the horrific threats and hate speech that was shouted to me as I existed the building.

Drive through action!!

Hands down the best burgers we have ever encountered in Michigan to date! Only lived here for 3…read moreyears and Burgrz is our weekly go to spot to eat the best Burgers. We are from SoCal and ate In-N-Out Burgers every week... Now Burgrz has taken their place and is 100x better! The Firecracker Beef Burger with Extra Extra Extra Extra Extra Jalapeños is my absolute favorite! I order it weekly, sometimes twice and always paired with their generous portions of Cajun waffle fries with sides of Zak Sauce and ranch! All toppings are customizable and FREE with the exception of bacon and avocado which is to be expected.. The staff is super nice and friendly especially Lena and Danny. The place is always clean! Everyone needs to give Burgrz a go! They are a local Michigan business, not a national chain although with quality food like this they very well could take the nation! They are super affordable compared to other places, roughly $8-9 bucks for a high quality big juicy made to order super filling burger... you just can't beat that, especially these days! If you do want to try the Firecracker Burger you must specify Beef if you want beef, it's on their menu as a Turkey burger. All their burgers are substitutable with Turkey, Beef, or Impossible Vegetarian burgers. I used to be vegan for over a decade until about 4 years ago and Impossible Burgers are by far the best and closest tasting to real beef in my opinion... just sayin for all the vegetarians out there you too must try Burgrz they have something for us all!

First and last time here. Food was beyond greasy. We used so many napkins to try to soak up the…read morefries and onion rings. The burgers were literally so flavorless, I don't even think they used salt or pepper on the patties. We should have walked right out when we noticed the place was deserted right at lunch time. The service was very nice though, the employees were all super nice and friendly. But the food just didn't do it for us! Would not recommend

Excellent burger joint. My bacon cheeseburger with its double patties, cheese, bacon, grilled…read moreonions and grilled mushrooms on a toasted Brioche bun was cooked to perfection and very very flavorful. It definately is head and shoulders above most of the burgers in the area. The side of fries were well made as well with a nice crunchy texture and nice flavor although not to the level of the burger. The facility itself seems to be oriented to more of a takeout operation versus dine in as there are only three small tables at the front near the entrance where on cold winter day you can feel the chill every time someone comes in or leaves the restaurant. Relative to staff, there is no waitstaff as it is a counter order operation where this is really not a factor here. Overall, one of the best burger joints in the area at a reasonable cost. The takeout nature of business is a factor here to consider if you are looking for table dining as it will be a roll of the dice if you get a table depending on time of day.

The toppings were "choose whatever you want", which I basically chose everything. Bun was nothing special. Service was friendly. Their special sauce, made from mayo and ketchup, was also just average. Overall a solid burger with good quality ground beef and no extra charge for toppings. $13 for the burger .

I have always loved this bar but want to share some key points to help others feel confident to…read morewalk into this bar for the first time. 1. The employees are amazing and so so kind! They always have great menu suggestions if you are unsure, and are quick at making drinks, and bringing out food. I'd like to mention, I had a situation where I was being harassed by another customer but Eloy handled the situation swiftly and professionally. Easy for me to say after that, I have no doubt that this is a safe place. 2. They cater to different interests on different days of the week. My favorite day to go is Thursday for karaoke night, the DJ in charge of karaoke is so great and encouraging! 3. Inclusivity is a huge thing for the LGBTQ community, and sadly some LGBTQ bars aren't as inclusive or safe as you would think. BUT NO WORRY, Liberty bar has gender fluid bathrooms, and is handicap accessible! 4. Last but not least, the food is priced very fairly, and drinks are as well. Their signature cocktails are always a hit, and you can never go wrong with the potstickers. If it wasn't clear earlier in this review, I highly recommend this business. It's a great place to ice break on date night, or just come and make new friends in a safe space. It's truly like family here.

My wife and I arrived shortly after doors opened on a Saturday. The bartender manned both the bar and tables by himself, and was efficient and friendly. We started our meal with mac and cheese bites and fried pickles. Both were about what you'd expect. For our entrees, I ordered the "basic bitch" poutine, while my wife got the "Harlem Hanni" with a side of onion rings. Both the poutine and Hani fell short of my expectations. The poutine desperately needed salt, and the Hani was a bit dry. Like the appetizers, the onion rings were standard. If you're looking for a casual, fun place to get drinks and some bar food, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here. On the flip side, Liberty is classified as a poutinerie, and the poutine was below average.

Then I tried Dearborn Heights a couple of years later. Same thing!!! I just tried this location in Warren, and it's phenomenal too. I'm not sure why I didn't post reviews in the past. These folks know how to make a great burger and a successful restaurant. Halal, fresh, well-cooked, creative ideas for burgers. Fries are good, but its the burgers!!!! They've earned your trying it!

This was such a good burger!…read more One of the best burgers I have had. I have been wanting to try this place for years. I was finally on the right side of time and had time to go in. They are located next to a gas station which comes in handy if you also need gas. I order the number 1 and my son ordered the pizza burger. Both were very filling and delicious. The original burger was cooked perfectly and the bun was pretty good. The onions and pickles were so good and I don't usually like pickles. I didn't try the signature sauce as I'm not a fan of thousand island. But many people will enjoy it the way it's suppose to be made I'm sure.The pizza burger was pretty cool. It had 3 nice sized mozzarella sticks on them and pizza sauce. We wanted fries and they only come in one size. The one size is big enough to share. We were suggested the lemon pepper fries and that was such a great suggestion. They are fresh cut fries and you can tell. I was happy they had regular fries and not the battered crispy ones a lot of place do. So they definitely will get 5 stars for the fries alone. It has some seating inside, but most people seem to get carry out. The men at the counter were so nice in helping us. They really suggested things we would like and we did. I will be glad to give them my business again.
