Marcus Hamburgers

I've been eating a Marcus for many years and at a time when there were more locations spread out around Detroit. It's quite a trip now as I live out in Livonia, but I make it there a half dozen times a year. I'm there for the Marcus Burger, always get two, and have them served one at a time so both are hot. Some things are just worth going out of your way for.

I may have just "found" my new favorite place - Marcus Hamburgers on 6 Mile in Detroit (not too far from the Two Way and Buddy's. It's been here nearly 100 years.
Their "claim to fame" is their rectangular hamburgers, served in a hot dog bun. Food is pretty standard, but very obviously made with love. Can't wait to introduce it to everybody!

Hey, you want some serious history this is the place you go to get a great burger best eggs and hashbrowns in town Mike and his team does a great job!

Best burgers in the city if you ask me. Service is good too, place has a classic old school feel.

Great food, awesome daily specials. Diamond in the rough. I highly recommend to friends and family.

A part of me wants this place to remain a secret and to not write this spot a review. However, I cant rest knowing that this place has been around since 1929 and only has 19 reviews.

This is definitely a blue collar type of place, surrounded by buildings and factories, its only open from 8 to 4 Mon- Sat and closes at 2 on Sundays.
The fact its been around so long with those hours tells you that they get enough business.

One wouldnt even think to stop by here for a delicious unique steak burger and some of the best chili fries ive ever had.
It is DIVEY. But very clean.
There are horseshoe counters, a small prep area in the middle, and a small kitchen in the back.
There is one waitress, one prep/ dish person and a cook.

The meat is freshly ground, shaped into a hot dog, and grilled.
The lettuce and tomato are chopped and brought to you.
The pickles and onions are pre chopped and served in community bowls, you just pass them around the counter to the other people.

The fries are crispy, The chili is with beans and is like a chili gravy. It was so good.
The hot dog was cooked perfect and was nice and firm, it had to be beef. I wish they werent 2.50 cuz i would eat 3 in a sitting. But i need fries and a burger too. Haha.

Its a great, small, quiet little place.
I hope it stays around, who knows if ill be able to make it back soon, but now its going to be a goal of mine.

I was originally hesitant to come here based on its location, but I'm sure glad I did. One of the most unique restaurants in the Metro Detroit area. Very friendly and attentive staff. The whole menu is affordable, but they are best known for their phenomenal, hot dog shaped burgers. I highly recommend giving it shot.

Great place for lunch. The chicken is awesome and the service is great . The owner takes pride in making sure your experience is awesome

Delicious food, friendly staff, laid back.
Marcus is known for there signature burgers which are served on a hotdogs bun. Yum

Divey looking but very clean. This spot isnt open late at all so if you want a Marcus burger get there early. I've been here years ago and was very young but a after school regular because of the burger in a hot dog bun. I came in a few days ago and are you kidding me? Yup same folks still run it. Nice sweet lady took my order and was very polite. You ever in the mood for a good burger/slider please stop by.
