Kelly was the best server! She made the night 10/10. Great food and vibe. Would recommend the burgers and pizza!

Jory was the queen of my afternoon! Wonderful service. She was thoughtful and adventurous; really making for a great vacation

Went here after not being for years and it was delicious. Paige was our serverShe was Outstanding! Very fast very attentive.

Here from California with family. It was fairly packed, but no wait thankfully. Outside and inside has a dope vintage vibe that's really cool. We ordered a little bit of everything: Veggie pizza Margaritas Key lime pie (or cheesecake, not sure) Salmon and Broccoli Burger and Fries Everything, was delicious. Thank you very much. We can't wait to come back on our next visit. read more

Quirky place with good burgers. Done in a Steampunk vibe with the original gas station parts still visible. Usually busy. The burger sauce is delicious. The pizza is ok. The crust could have been more done and the burger pizza we ordered had way too many pickles and lettuce. Those onion rings are darn near perfect; crunchy outside and cream bite through inside. Our server was cute, friendly and attentive He made sure we weren't thirsty after our pizza was somehow dropped on the floor before it made it to the table lol. read more

Very cool spot off Woodward Avenue -- was an old garage that was converted to a restaurant. They have decor to support the theme and it's fun. The best part is that it opens up to the outside (aka the "garage doors" lift open so there's fresh air connected to outside eating and inside spots open to the outdoors on nice summer days too. As far as the food: burgers, union mac-n-cheese and the coal fire pizzas are specialities. I've had the first two in the past so tonight I ordered the pizza with grilled pineapple, garlic and pepperoni. They do offer pizzas with toppings like chopped burger, steak and even chopped coneys. But that's not my thing... but may be yours. My husband ordered the chop shoppe salad which is like a Cobb with chicken and fried onions on top. We enjoyed both for what they were. Not the best pizza but decent for a non-pizza place. The server was friendly and the meal was well paced. Recommend if you're looking for a more laid blunch or dinner in the area. read more

**5 stars**: When we reached this place we were told it would be a 45 minute wait. After about 20 minutes we ended up being sat in a beautiful booth. Our appetizer was out in 5 minutes and our server Kelly answered every question we had (which was many) with ease. My sister usually finds herself disappointed at basically every restaurant we go to and every meal she orders, especially because she's gluten free. She loved everything about this place. They offer many gluten free options that are not only edible but delicious. The decor is a perfect mix of vintage but modern. We came for a birthday and the dessert comes with a sparkler and rock & rye ice cream with pop rocks on top. Not one complaint, but not sure we can come back in fear of it not being the same perfect experience! read more

I live Vinsetta's Garage. the food, vibe, the DESIGN and INTERIOR, and to top it all off, the sweetest waiters that serve us with no rush whatsoever. The restaurants story is so interesting. It was originally an actual car repair shop, and was named after the former-street it used to be under. (I believe it was Vinsetta Street) The whole kitchen and dining area, and entrance is all built from the actual garage. Even the table are sawed from car frames and crushed steal, you can feel the sweat of the car repairmen oozing out of the walls. I NEED to talk about the Union Mac. When you go to Vinsetta, it is priority number one to get this dish. For the sake of appropriate behavior on my part, I will not re-create the incredible howling noise I started to subconsciously create when I first tried this mac and cheese. I wouldn't be surprised if I killed a generation of Macadamians. All I'm trying to say is, it's the greatest mac and cheese in Berkley. The burger isn't much to write home about, just a simple, run of the mill Krabby Patty. The vibe this place gives off, you'd think the pizza would be quite crispy. You're dead wrong. While it doesn't manipulate the quality of the pie, it feels misleading in a traditional sense. I will say, the Oven Roasted Tomatoes explode in your mouth like gushers. I loved the first bite of everything I had here, and if I had to recommend any kind of busy dinner spot in Berkley, it's this tied with Crispelli's. But on a personal level, I can't help with Vinsetta's when they have such a good track record. 4/5 read more

It's been a while since I've been here, and the long wait at busy times is part of the reason. No problem at 3:00, however, even on a Friday. The 3 AM Burger is served with Swiss, onion straws, bacon, just enough sriracha mayo to give it a bit of a kick, and topped with a perfectly fried egg. The burger has a nice char, and you can taste the quality of the meat. It's served with chips, but the server told me that I could substitute any of the sides. She didn't tell me, but it appears to be $1 off the regular price. The onion rings looked perfect, but they were a bit squishy....not something I want in onion rings. Even with the tasty tomato mayo, I couldn't eat more than 2 of them. My wife's grilled chicken was perfectly charred. The bacon and pepper jack were a perfect compliment. And, the skin-on fries were amazing. Fortunately, there is plenty to share. She asked for honey mustard with the sandwich, and she loved it. We both swapped out the regular bun for a pretzel roll The drink selection is excellent, and there are some nice options. My wife accidentally ordered a mocktail; she went to the bar to tell the waitress she wanted alcohol in it when she figured it out. The waitress didn't offer to switch the drink out. We paid an extra $8 for a shot of vodka, making it a $15 drink, which I didn't realize until we got the bill. It's still fun getting a tasty meal and a drinks in a vintage (but clean) garage. I won't take so long next time before I return, but I'm skipping the onion rings. read more

Nothing was bad, but nothing was super great, either. Cheesecurds were the best thing we ordered. We also got the loaded chips which were decent. My son got the coney pizza, which he liked. Mac and cheese was okay. Tortilla soup was way too salty. And the salad we got was drowning in dressing. Glad we stopped because I've been wanting to try it, but we wouldn't return. read more

At the beginning I was a little skeptical due to the young hostess brushing me and my boyfriend off. We arrived and she blankly said "one second" and hoped on a phone call. It took another worker to help us after we had been waiting awhile but he apologized profusely and was very kind. The vibe of the place was super fun and chill. We went before a Tiger's game and it was the perfect laid back but authentic-style for a dinner. It also is very unique due to it being an old gas station and has kept many of its original structure. We ordered the Chips and Onion appetizer. I thought that was good! We also asked our server her pizza recommendations. While we had our minds set on the Loaded Potato Pie, it wasn't one she had suggested. I'm disappointed we didn't choose one that she recommended because I would say this wasn't my favorite pizza I've had. The flavor was bland and in my opinion, the texture of the potatoes didn't blend well enough with the pizza. It lacked flavor. Overall, we had a great experience, however I wasn't overly impressed with the food or initial service. read more

Although I miss the cheeseburger Mac, vinsetta is always a great option for drinks and great food. The burgers are unique and delicious. Love the 3am burger and the coney pie! The Chop Shop salad is an amazing salad with chicken and ham. The service is great and if you go at lunch time, you'll usually be seated without waiting. The history of the place is very cool and the penny floor in the bathroom was one of the first I'd ever seen back when the restaurant first opened. We usually go here for a special occasion meal, but lately have been enjoying the pizza so much we might be calling for takeout pretty soon! read more

Vinsetta Garage - Sir Shakes' Coney Pie - American Near Me - Berkley, Michigan

I've been to Vinsetta Garage several times over the years, so I'm surprised that I haven't reviewed it before now. First of all, I remember when it actually WAS Vinsetta Garage; my dad used to take his cars there for service, so I'm just filled with nostalgia about that. I love that they've kept the service office as the waitstand (or whatever you call the spot where they take your party's name). This is part of the Union Joints, so sort of chain-like. Of course, that means that they have the wonderful macaroni and cheese, and you can get it as a side instead of their very good homemade chips for a slight upcharge. I've always had burgers here. I noticed last night that they didn't ask how we wanted them cooked, and they came out pretty close to well done. I would have preferred medium, but this was ok. I was thinking about ordering one of their "declawed" cocktails, but they didn't have either of the ones I was interested in, so I just stuck with water. And I'm glad that they left bottes of water on the table. Our server (Elle, I believe?) was very good. She made sure that what my sister ordered didn't have pepper, and she even double checked. She came by several times to check on us, and she was very efficient. The only thing that I really don't like about the restaurant is that it is so loud. It's impossible to carry on a conversation without shouting. We had a table of 6, and I could really only hear the people sitting directly across from me -- and not always then. But, the food is good, and unlike places like Ford's Garage (which is also good), this is an authentic former garage. So if you have the opportunity, do check it out. read more

We really enjoyed being served by Kelly! She was prompt, gave great suggestions, and has such a pleasant demeanor! Thank you Kelly and thank you Vinsetta! read more

Paige was absolutely amazing! Great service and overall experience! Would go here again!

Great atmosphere and even better food! We will definitely be back! (Try the 3am burger)

Had a good Tuesday night dinner! Reservations are always a good idea or there will be a wait! We did have reservations and were seated and attended to immediately! I had the classic Vinsetta Burger which usually come with a large amount of good chips...but I got the super yummy Mac and Cheese. My date got one of their pizzas. I can't remember which one...but it was well made and there's enough to take some home. I had a cocktail that was whiskey and honey. Very good. I'll definitely be back. It actually looks like a garage because I guess it used to be one. Fun atmosphere for sure read more

I went with a close friend to Vinsetta's Garage for lunch on Sunday, February 15, and had a fabulous experience. The food was great but, most importantly, our server Kelly was excellent. The restaurant was packed so she was very busy, but she took the time to answer our questions, bring extra drinks, and make some menu suggestions while keeping a very pleasant smile on her face the entire time. That's the kind of service you wish you could get everywhere! Needless to say, she got a lot of thanks and a great tip. My advice to the management is to find more servers like Kelly and reward them accordingly!! PS: The fact that I took the time to go online to write this review emphasizes how incredibly impressed we were! Thanks to you Kelly for a very enjoyable lunch. PPS: Order the onion rings and mac and cheese. You won't regret it! read more

This used to be one of my favorite spots in town but unfortunately it's fallen significantly. Food is very expensive and quality just isn't matching the price. They nickel-and-dime you for everything -- e.g., pretzel bun used to be standard on the 3AM burger but now it's an extra. The worst part is I recently ordered a Chop Shop salad to-go and upon opening it later, there was NO chicken or ham, which is the entire point of the salad. Feeling extremely scammed to pay $20 (including tip) for basically a bunch of lettuce and a bit of egg. Probably won't be back. read more

Recommended by a fellow artist, this place was a solid gastropub inside of a really cool, remodeled garage. The ambiance was the best part, but the food was solid and priced as you would expect for a higher end gastropub with quick, accommodating service. It didn't have anything that made me feel like "omg I HAVE to get back there", but I would happily enjoy this spot again if I was meeting up with friends. read more

Incredibly slow and inattentive service. We ordered an appetizer and it came out with our main meal. Very frustrating! Drinks took forever to arrive and we waited about 15 minutes for the server to come back with our credit card and check. The food was okay, but definitely not worthy of the high prices. If in the area again, I would look for a different spot for lunch. read more

This place has unfortunately gone downhill. Me and my husband had dinner here 2 nights ago and were very disappointed. Our burgers were nothing like they once were. They just aren't as big and juicy as they use to be. I asked for a medium burger, it was very well done. They are thin and lacking the wonderful taste that they use to have. We've actually noticed this the past couple of times we've been here. Sadly, I think this was our last visit. It's very expensive for a mediocre meal. We didn't mind spending the money when it was a quality dining experience. read more

I love the Mac and cheese! It is so good and it is gluten freeee! They also have a gluten free pizza that is amazing!

Great food and great service. Would suggest trying it out if you haven't been yet. The pizza is amazing.

Great food great service! Very eclectic space of an old service station! Huge fan! Highlights Burgers are delicious and hit the spot! Fries are the best I've had in a while! Order the breadsticks! I could eat them everyday! Skip the chicken tenders in the kids meal! Not great! Have Pepsi products and no Dr Pepper! Need some Fago and Vernors for sure! read more

This is my 1st review of any kind! Absolute worst food we have ever had! I ordered a pizza & it tasted like cheap pizza from the freezer section at the grocery store. I sent it back. 2 others in our party ordered the "Breaker" burger; which the waitress described a "an amazing burger, too big to bite with burger, brisket, Mac & cheese, & candied bacon". Unfortunately it was none of those! It was a thin patty with very little brisket. As for the Mac & cheese - well I'm not sure if placing 2...yes, 2 noodles on the burger counts but they did. When we addressed it with the waitress she did have them make up Mac & cheese but it took another 40 minutes to come out. The kicker...the bill was $85.92...for crap food & no drinks (just water)!!! We will never return nor recommend this place!! read more

great service and great food. We will definitely be back again soon. Thanks for a great night!

Vinsetta garage did have delicious burgers. All of us got a burger, which is their specialty really enjoyed it. Now the macaroni and cheese on the other hand was not good at all. It was very dry and kind of flavorless. It was not creamy or cheesy, so they ended up taking mine away. Everything else the loaded chips for the appetizer was really good. read more

the food is always really good, service is fast and friendly. desserts are really good too.

First of all, I love their mac and cheese. I live nearby and it is hard to order carry out from here as of recently. This restaurant consistently doesn't let you order online. The last time I called, they said you would have to come into the restaurant to place your order. Additionally, the prices have gone wayyy up. $20 for mac and cheese. I could buy a box of noodles for $1.50. I hope service improves here as I really like the food and to be able to pick it up but it's getting more expensive and difficult to order these days. Also, they made me give my credit card number over the phone which in these days feels kind of dangerous. Went to pick up $14 burger and was charged 21.20. Person said that was uncharges for pretzel bun they offered. Not happy. Seems like a money grab. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Had a cheeseburger and upgraded to fries. I got so many fries I shared them with the other 3 people at my table. It was all delicious,reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was really cool. Would come back for sure. read more

Damn. What happened to the menu and pizza quality? Removed the tacos?! Why because it lowered your average charge per customer compared with your other locations. Fine, but it got people in the door--that's the point, no? Bring back verde soup...the one that was actually green. Also, that Hancho lager is the worst mexican lager you can find. Do we dislike "Mexico"? I noticing a pattern now. read more

Interior was creative, it was the best part of the meal. Service was a miss, non-attentive, I had to ask for napkins and silverware, had to ask for refills. Food was disappointing. Burgers were not correctly served. Person that asked for no cheese asked for burger sauce on the side but theirs came with sauce on it but the burger with cheese was given the sauce on the side. Burgers themselves really didn't have any flavor. Besides the condiments on it. They are an over priced frozen patty. Fries were fresh cut, but soggy and super small. Someone at our table had a beard hair in their fries. I had heard such good things about this place in the past, I thought we were primed for a good experience. I will not return. read more
