    My mother and I like to stop in here for lunch when She's in town. Perfect spot for a quick bite delicious fix. We walked in and put our order in within 10 minutes. We are walking out with delicious cheeseburgers & fries. The burgers are more like sliders, that they remind me of other classic sliders we've had in Detroit. Fries are crinkle, cut and fried while a good portion of them too. Thank you to all the staff working.

    Lunch cheaper than a Dozen Paczki, Love them Wimpy Burgers. Just released the new Mushroom n Swiss Double Patty Burger OMG. A 5 napkin Burger with a Soup like loaded with Mushrooms outstanding and sloppy. The Boom Boom Burger supplies the perfect amount of heat . She had Chicken Tenders, Fries, Onion Rings and Chili spot on Wonderful. Step back into the 50's old school cool diner. Place packed at lunch hour, all stools filled front counter with hungry folks. Unique design of memories from our childhood. Fun friendly service and low prices make this a must visit. Only our 2nd visit since opening 8 years ago. We took I-75 to Gibraltar road, just a few blocks before Telegraph.

    A small unassuming local almost dive place. With the pandemic and all, I wasn't able to go inside,but walked up to the carry-out window and placed an order at 8:45 on a Thursday. I'm a Detroit native, use to greasy little onion packed sliders with a soft bun, packed in white wax paper, and these were that! Although not as good as my Local Telways- these definitely earned a place in my rotation. Buy a sack of 6 for 7.99 or a pack of 6 Cheeseburgers for 8.99. The cool thing is, they have more than just regular sliders. See the menu below. The fries are crinkle cut fries,and the chili is pretty darn tasty. They offer shakes and other items too. I've had better Coney Dogs, but it was more because of the hot dog they used, and not the bun, chili, and onions. There was no snap, and I love a snap. The pro was, they are grill cooked! I'll definitely return, these are the little places that we need to keep alive and going. Small eating area inside, and lots of picnic tables outside. Grab a bag of burgers and eat outside.

    I had never heard of this place before until Yelp friend Kara W. checked in. I looked it up on Google Maps and saw that it was only about a 5-10 minute drive from my boyfriend's apartment. Deliciousness, close by?? Sounds good! We tried it out this Sunday. It is a tiny little place, similar to Hunter House in Birmingham, and I'd say their burgers (sliders) are on par with Hunter House's - each one is only 2 ounces, but very tasty. I tried one burger, a corn dog, and the Chicago dog; the corn dog was delicious, but the Chicago dog was a little too sweet for my taste - I think the relish or something was sweeter than what I'm used to. My boyfriend got FIVE (yes, five) sliders and really enjoyed them. We also split a large order of fries but it was pretty small ... not sure what the small order of fries would look like, then. You can choose to either do takeout or take a seat - everything is bar-counter style. I was surprised there was waitservice there, actually, as I assumed that you'd order at the counter and then sit. Our waitress had only been working there for three days, she said, but was very friendly, and I appreciated being welcomed when we arrived and being said "bye" to as we left - a lot of restaurants don't do that. Overall for cheap eats I'd come back here. Our bill was about $15 before tip but that's because we ordered so much food (6 sliders, a corn dog, a Chicago dog, and fries). They also have carryout specials, including ~$7.50 for 6 sliders, I believe.

    We were playing a small baseball tournament nearby and had a break in between games. Closest establishment also happened to be the highest rated: Wimpy Burger. We told some teammates we were going to go there no matter what. We ordered burgers, chili cheese fries, milk shakes and all were excellent. Pretty soon the entire place was full with our team and the staff handled everyone perfectly. Fantastic service, great small diner atmosphere, and phenomenal diner food. Hopefully our travels take us back that way so we can go to Wimpys again.

    I've been here once before a longtime ago but I don't remember much. The waitresses were very friendly, good service. Donut burger was different, both we really liked it. I would get it again. Chicago dog was exactly what I wanted, I had been thinking about one all week! It was so good my fiancé ordered one to go. Cheeseburger was good as well. We will be back!

    We were having a hankering for some smoked meats since our Thanksgiving feast and I have been…read morewishing to try this place since moving to the area. On Saturday We called in our order and picked it up in 30 mins ready to go. Service from the staff was kind and we were given sauces to try for our to go order. I favored the original sweet sauce while R preferred the hot (no surprise there). Our order consisted of two pounds each brisket and pulled pork. We both preferred the beef over the pork since the meat was quite fatty. We verified the poundage and both were on point with the amount requested. The flavor was rich and Smokey but not too much so. Next time possibly just order the beef and maybe try out the burgers .

    Heard a few acquaintances say the slightly-divey HRI has the best barbeque in metro Detroit, and…read morehad to test that claim when dinner hour found me downriver last night. I'm going to have to disagree with them. The pulled pork on the sandwich I'd ordered was OK, but not exactly top-rate. The portion was good, and the meat was tender and not too greasy. Would have liked it to be smokier. The sweet Carolina mustard sauce I put on it (mustard-based sauces are always my favorites) needed less sweet and more mustard. A lot of my reviews include complaints that coleslaw is oversauced, but the (very small paper cup) of coleslaw here was nearly devoid of sauce. But overall the food hit the spot, and I'd go back. Besides that, HRI does have a good craft beer selection on draft, and side dishes beyond the initial free one are $.99 or $1.99. With limited dining options in the immediate locale, you could do a lot worse.
