Mushroom and Swiss burger. Was tasty and sloppy.
Ted W.

Well, this was my wife's and I's first time here. Crazy! We've been past here many of times and never noticed it. The food was surprisingly really good. We ordered at the bar. The Hamburgers & Onion rings cMe out got to order.. but, establishment was filthy. Salt all over the counter. The menu was disgustingly dirty, the front door was so dirty you couldn't even see thru it. But the patronage is solid. We walked in, no one there. We sat down and the phone rang off the wall and before we left, the place was packed. 1 cook,1 cashier, 1 dishwasher that's it. Be patient when ordering. We'd come back for the food.

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.

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.

New exciting Burger Mushroom n Swiss a 5 napkin star Love it

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.

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.

Chicago dog
Kelly M.

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!

Love this place. Awesome food. Highly recommend them. Only complaint is they don't open till noon. But I'm sure that's staffing struggles.

Huron River Inn BAR-b-q - Beef brisket sliced

Huron River Inn BAR-b-q

3.5(38 reviews)
2.7 mi•Downriver

I was on my way back from a day trip to Toledo and starving for lunch. I looked up restaurants…read morealong the route and the Huron River Inn BBQ popped up and so decided to try it. I'm so glad I stopped. The location is right off I-75 and next to the Huron River of course. The river runs directly behind the restaurant and is quite pretty. The restaurant has a bar type section as well as a bright sunroom type space. We sat in the sunroom since it was empty and we're trying to be as COVID-safe as possible. The waitress was very friendly and explained the menu, their specials and the three different bbq sauces they offer (spicy, standard and a mustard type). The menu was full of very tempting comfort food (maybe not so healthy, but hey sometimes you just need something satisfying). We opted for the homemade chips with french onion dip ($4.95) and each ordered a BBQ pulled pork sandwich ($8.95). The sandwiches had a choice of baked beans, Mac and cheese or fries if I recall correctly. Other options (e.g. onion rings) were available for a surcharge. We opted for the baked beans and Mac and cheese. The chips were our favorite item, but who can resist delicious hot from the fryer homemade chips - I know I can't! The sandwiches were IMG huge. The pulled pork was heaped at least 4 inches over the bun. We each scraped about half off and saved the rest for future sandwiches at home. My sandwich was good and juicy, though I would have liked a bit better flavor from the sauces - they were fine but not as good as my favorite sauce from another bbq place. I like intense flavor though. The mac and cheese was better than Stouffer's but not knock your socks off and come back for just the mac and cheese if you catch my drift - it was good as a side though for sure. Between the service, food, decent prices and very pleasant location, .I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely recommend the Huron River Inn BBQ.

We went on a Friday night for a special Halloween event night and they were under staffed and…read morerunning around without any direction. Arrived at 6:00 pm and waited 10 minutes for a table to be cleared. Once seated, waited another 10 minutes for waitress to come back. Took our drink order and I suggested we put our food order in at the same time. Waitress told us no, let me get your drinks and I'll be right back for your food order. We received a pitcher of water right away and didn't receive our drinks for another 15 minutes. Food order wasn't taken until 7 pm and we sat until 8:30 waiting for food that arrived cold. I really think that our server forgot to put our order in but did not bother to get everything out hot once she put it in. When we asked about our food at 8 pm the place was pretty cleared out, so the kitchen was not the issue. Did not seem to have any management and not enough extra help to handle a special event. Will not return.

Came back with my group of friends again this year. This visit was a lot better. Our server was…read morereally great with suggestions and answers to our questions. She also brought over her relief server to introduce us formally. There was live music - loud enough to hear and sing along, if you want, but quiet enough to hear others at the table if you wanted to talk/visit with them. I appreciated that. The music was varied but mostly stayed in the 70's and 80's. This time, I ordered the Honey Boo-boo Flatbread and side of Husb Puppies. Our wait wasn't as bad as it was last year, hence, most of the reason for the extra star this time. The food arrived hot as well. The flatbread was flavorful but didn't have a lot of heat from the hot honey although you could taste the sweetness from it. The hush puppies were very good.

I ordered Walleye that was marked GF, when it came out it was breaded. Waitress said of course it's…read morehas to be lightly dusted or it will fall apart. And if I would have told her I needed GF she would have steered me away from it. Well I did tell her when I ordered and then said of course that means no croutons on the salad. She said right. Then offered to remake it blackened, or no seasoning at all. ‍ So guess what, I left starving. Little shocked that the manager never came over to offer a solution. It's not the 1st time it happened, but was told it wouldn't happen again. Put a damper on the night when you are going out to celebrate somebody's birthday and then you sit there not eating while everyone else does.
