We came here not long after it opened on the recommendation of others who had visited other locations. Maybe the kinks hadnt all been worked out, and they were unprepared for the amount of business they got, but our experience was disastrous. The food took forever to come out, and when it did, it came in bits and pieces, half of it cold. Tables that arrived after us got served before ours. One of our party never got his food at all before we cashed out and made to leave. It was only at that point that they presented the missing food and we took it to go. Honestly, I dont recall whether the food was any good or not; I was so angry with the service it wouldnt have mattered. Ive heard positive feedback from others, but my experience was probably the worst Ive ever had in a restaurant.

Great burger in downtown Clawson. We grabbed burgers here on a beautiful Saturday evening. Less crowded than other spots like Royal Oak (no wait, easy parking). The large burger is about the patty, and was not overwhelmed with by the toppings. Loved the branding in the bun. Price is inline with other Burger pubs (about $12/burger), and includes a choice of fries. One of the better burgers weve had. Fries were good, and I added chilli and cheese. Service was great. The waitress didnt know much about the craft beer, but was attentative, and made sure we had everything. The owner came around to check on us. We will definitely be back.

What a wonderful place to get together with friends and enjoy great food and drinks. Very clean and very friendly atmosphere. TVs all over the place so you wont miss a beat on sports. Our waitress was very pleasant and kept checking up on us making sure everything was good and up to par. The Owner/Manager Pashko also made his rounds asking how everything was which makes any customer happy! I had the "The Troy Wrap" with the delicious waffle fries and tater-tots! You wont be disappointed

Not really sure what all the hype is for this place. Decent atmosphere, but my burger was not good... got one of their specialty burgers with swiss and corned beef, but they didnt even grill or warm up the corned beef. Just served cold slices on top of the burger. No good... My girlfriend got a basic cheese burger and it was just okay, nothing special. Will not return

I really enjoy this burger bar. The prices may seem high to some, but the food is high quality (in my opinion). I have never had a burger that has disappointing, the staff is more than acceptable, and the beer selection is good. I would recommend visiting on a Tuesday (half-off burgers) and make sure to get some waffle fries!

Great food, great atmosphere, great beer! The atmosphere is fun and hip. It definitely has a great vibe and invites you to sit and have an excellent burger and beer! The staff was friendly and had loads of recommendations based on your mood and likes/dislikes. Definitely going back if Im ever back in the Detroit area.

If all you do is burgers, then getting the doneness right should be easier then I have experienced at this location. Way overcooked two visits in a row after asking for Medium. The first visit was much better. The selection and toppings are good, and the service is friendly, but a bit slow.

Burgers taste flame broiled, so amazing. Nice atmosphere, you can sit outside on a little patio or inside. They keep the doors open when its nice out. Good selection of burgers and beer. Highly recommend the vernor! Putting sour cream and guacamole on a burger basically blew my mind.

Burger was yummy. Loved the branding. Fries were very good and the onion rings were just ok. Burgers are served how you like it. They do have out door seating when it is nice out. Parking is available in front of the building or the is a parking lot within a walking distance.

Good burgers and waffle fries in a clean, bar atmosphere. Service was a bit slow, but Id come back. Also the cole slaw was too sweet on its own. Good place to bring friends for food and drinks. Bonus, they have tator tots.

I met the chef and the food was amazing. Best burger Ive had in a long time. Highly recommended and will definitely be coming back to this location. They do have other locations. Thanks for the great experience guys!

Really good burgers, friendly staff. Only problem is that we ordered burgers from rare+ to medium-rare, and everything came out well done. No pink at all. Fortunately they were all still juicy and tasty.

Great place to grab a burger and a beer. The burgers are great! The waffle fries are awesome. They have a private label beer, Old Detroit Amber, that Frankenmuth Brewery makes for them that is delicious!

The service was wonderful. Cheese sticks really hot the spot. The burger was OK. I feel like I could find a better burger elsewhere. Ill be back to try a different burger.

The burgers were good and so was the service! I highly recommend the Bloody Marys if thats your thing as they were beyond delicious and loaded with goodies! Lol

Good sized, tasty burger. The bun was really thin and crumbly, so i had to eat it with a fork. Annoying, but still yummy. Sweet potato fries were a nice touch.

Beer is cold. Food is hot. Great hideaway spot tucked in the middle of a growing downtown Clawson.

The best burger Ive found since moving into the area. Their coney dogs are also great.
