Fuddruckers

Amazing! I traveled 4 hours to go to this Fuddruckers from Illinois as all the ones by me closed down. The Sterling Heights location looks very similar to the one that was in Matteson, IL and the food was as good as I remember! Even better is this location has a full service bar which none of the Fuddruckers by me ever had. Boy do I miss this restaurant and wish they would reopen more locations! I am glad I made the trip!

After a long hiatus, I revisited Fuddruckers and was impressed! The Bourbon Burger and Oreo Shake were both excellent, and the service was top-notch. While I missed the iconic display of fresh beef, and the restaurant is showing its age, the food and service made for a memorable experience.

Great selection of burgers and lots of fresh toppings to add. Took my son and nephew there for his birthday to try to bison burger. It was definitely a hit. Can be pricey but on a special occasion it's a treat. The peanut butter shake is amazing ♥️

Self-service chain burger sodium “American” (I am quoting this because burgers are German, not American, and French fries are neither American—associated with this nationality of food—nor French—IN THE NAME—they are from Belgium) with unlimited salad or topping bar with cool atmosphere and statue guys. A little overpriced/fallen to inflation, especially the onion rings, even though the ~7 of them you get for $5 taste good.

First time here! I expected a traditional sit down restaurant and that's definitely not the case. It's a counter order grab a seat type of place with 50s decor and classic rock playing. Super kind and friendly staff. The floors are a bit tired and it could use a freshen up but overall I was happy enough with my dinner

I honestly haven't eaten here in over ten years , but my experience today was just as great as it was the first time. Very attentive and kind waitress. Great burgers.

It was a typical Sunday afternoon because my kids were all screaming and whining for food. These monsters eat like….monsters. Anyway, they asked for the typical hamburger joint, but I decided to go all out and go to Fuddruckers as it was a staple from my youth. The food was great, the restaurant was clean, and the service even better. The kids left full and tired. Perfect! I left happy and full. Was a good day, minus one of my kids trying to eat ketchup straight from the dispenser….i told you, they’re monsters.

I hadn't been here in 25 years, but recently moved back to the area. So glad we decided to visit. I had the mushroom swiss burger and it was delicious. But the star on my plate were the seasoned fries! So good! Fountain Coca-Cola was especially good. I love their "Build Your Own" bar so I can add all the toppings I want. All the produce on it was very fresh and the bar was very neat and clean. My portion was large so I didn't have room for dessert, but everything on that menu sounded delicious. The baked goods in the showcase looked tasty, too. I loved the nostalgic dining tables and chairs. Fun place to eat.

The wife and I stopped her for lunch today. Bourbon hamburger was so good and so were the fries. Had a strawberry shake, Mmmmmmm. Nice place to eat. Nice decor and place is et up different than everywhere else. Nice place.

The burgers here really are good. I don't remember if they even serve anything else. They don't need to serve anything else. Great selection of toppings too

Very good buffalo burger and excellent service at a reasonable price! We will be returning

Coming from having a great time at Octoberfest, me and my fiance decided to grab something to eat at a restaurant we've never been to before which was this place. Due to the long drive we caught them a little before closing hours and I grabbed a half pound burger with Swiss and he took a half pound burger with pepper jack and a fried egg with it. We also got fries and a chocolate and vanilla milk shakes. And it was all amazing. Legit the best fries I've ever had and you can taste all the beef flavor within the burger itself. It was also neat that we were able to dress our burger the way we wanted too as well. I got pickles, lettuce and ketchup with mine and each one of those complimented the beef flavor of the burger. The milk shakes were to perfection as well. We definitely plan on coming back at some point. It may be a long drive but it's definitely worth it. People there were friendly as well, making me and my fiance feel we made the right choice in coming here.

I finally tried Fuddruckers out ...YAY! I ordered my burger at the bar but requested the open topping area instead of what the bar brings w standard burger toppings. My tater tots were an amazing crave worthy addition (try dipping them in the cheese dispenser they have too). My friend n I added pickles, onions, jalapeños, tomato, mayo, mustard ... shall I go on? Lol. Very cool toppings n fun atmosphere. I'd definitely go back and I think everyone should try it out.

I remember when this place opened and it was great... so my brother and I stopped in after years, and im glad to say it's still great. Our burgers were cooked perfectly. The toppings bar is still well maintained, and it's very clean. Great staff. And it has been remodled, but it's still Fudd's. We will be back again. We dont live terribly close, and for a time, there were closer locations, but it's worth the trip.

New owner bought the chain of Fuddruckers- if you need a new CEO for this great restaurant chain . All you have to do is do it better than you have before. Use certified black angus beef for hamburgers and hot dogs. Use all natural chicken for grilled chicken only do not fry the chicken breast . Use all natural chicken tenders for the fried chicken tenders. let me know Dan Stewart

Chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries were very good. My milkshake was not very thick, but other than that...was a good experience.

It had been nearly a year since my last order at the Sterling Heights Fuddruckers. Repeated promises of "it won't happen again" - one manager even saying "you have my word on it." All I wanted was a burger and an order of fries. I corrected the guy taking my order -- I repeated it over and over: a separate order of fries. They still can't mange to get it right. I look at my order and ask where my fries are -- he looks at me and say in the box. I told him it was a separate order of fries. I ask for the manager -- he seemed to think it was funny - and offered to put the fries in a separate box. He offered an excuse "we try to use as few containers as possible... which would be a good reason HAD I NOT JUST BEEN HANDED TWO LARGE CONTAINERS FOR SIDES (lettuce, pickles, etc). I had already waited in line (the folks in front of me took quite a while to order) - my order was already on the counter. I waited for the manager... and now I'm going to wait for my six french fries to be put into another container? I should have just asked for my money back. This place is incompetent and frankly, their lack of attention to detail certainly has me questioning other aspects of their business. I dumped the burger and fries and found something else. This place is an epic fail.

Excellent first experience at Fuddruckers! We were getting my lease renewed down the street at the Ford Dealership and saw this place. Always heard about it, never been so we thought "why not?" It was pretty slow before 6:30 and then a huge crowd. We were happy with the food, shakes, and service.

First time I went over there with my family Really it is nice idea to build your burger It is nice place and clean good service, fast and friendly We ordered 1/2 Dbl Dlx for my brother and husband And 1/2 swiss melt for me and my sister in law They were good size for all of us We will back again

This restaurant was a favorite when I was growing up. After moving away and visiting again after 6 years, it is still the great food and wonderful staff that make it a great place to visit. Good for families, groups, or adult outings, amazing smells from the fresh baked buns, and friendly helpful staff.

First time at a Fuddruckers and left stuffed and satisfied. You walk up to an order station and grab your order number before you make your way to the dining area. Some food is brought to you, while some you have to pick up. The extras for the burgers are left out in a buffet style. Overall I was satisfied with the food, but thought it was steep for the pocket book. 45 dollars for 2 burgers and shakes.... ** good iced tea!

As the Fuddruckers experience goes, this place seems to do most of everything right. They've done a good job of instituting the right kind of controls for COVID-19. Sanitizer, table wipes, mask usage, etc. are all being done here. About the only bummer of this particular visit was that my burger was a little overcooked. I'll just have to remember to order it medium rare next time. I also wish they would bring back their side Caesar salad, which used to be so good. On balance though this is still a very good place to come for a meal.

Awful customer service + subpar food. I visited this location back in 2003 and recall excellent customer service and good food. I'm not sure what happened since then but this location is a disaster now. The first staff member we spoke with tried to be helpful but not someone in a position to actually help customers. The following person was either overworked or just didn't care about their job or their work ethic. After putting in the completely incorrect order (after repeating the order twice), their response was "I just work here" and "I'll have to charge you for a new order to give you the correct order". After working out the issue on my own by simply ordering for my family and switching some things around so I just didn't get charged again for a screwed up order, the employee still screwed up the rest of the orders and didn't take any responsibility for it nor tried to help following the screw ups. Again, this employee may have been overworked but still, own your mistakes and help take corrective action. Don't just say "I just work here". I'll probably never visit this location again and plan to ward off anyone that considers eating here.

Ordered carry out Hamburgers and Fuddruckers did not disappoint. Cooked perfectly and ready when I arrived.

Why did it take so long for me to try this place? My boyfriend has been here before but it's been a while for him and never for me.... and we were craving burgers so he thought why not try it? I didn't really know what to expect. I didn't know how the whole process went. He told me that the burger came with all the basic ingredients already like lettuce, tomato, etc. I didn't know it was a basic ingredients topping bar! I thought the concept was really cool! Was able to add as many onions as I wanted hehe. I love me some onions in my burger! I like how they have a showcase of what size burgers they have. It's very convenient. They also have a dessert bar.... wahhhhh. Okay so how the food taste? I got the large rings and fries and I thought it was okay. It's more like potato wedges which is fine but the seasoning wasn't really there for potato wedges. I was hopping for thinner cut fries. Onion rings okay also. They're thicker cut. My burger, it was okay. Meh. The quality wasn't there to me. It was an okay burger. They did cook it medium because I asked for medium. So it was perfectly cut but I the beef taste I didn't care for. But I would probably come back because of the toppings bar! Staff was also really great

Great Hamburgers with all the toppings you can work for no extra charge. I've been there twice it was excellent both times. Definitely be going back.

I am impressed with this location. The facility was very clean (including the bathrooms.) The food tastes the same as when I was a child and that is a good thing. My kids liked their milkshakes and they let my daughter order her shake without the cherry on top. This is a great casual dining spot. I also like the fact they have elk and other exotic meats.

We sat in the bar area, and were waited on by Tristian. He was great! Great burgers and tried a new delicious beer. Haven't been in 20 years and will return.

We wanted some burgers and it's been a long time since either of us have been here. This was a place I went to as a child quite often. It was quite different during COVID. we both ordered burgers. They were enormous. Neither of us could finish ours. But it wasn't all that flavorful. They have done a great job at keeping patrons safe during covid. Social distancing is enforced and masks are required. They were wiping all surfaces down. They had a server who brought your drinks and offered refills. The usual condiment bar was closed. When you pick up your order they ask what condiments you would like and then give you individual condiments. You leave your tray on the table and they clean up for you. The burgers were ok. It k definitely would not go out of my way to go back. It was just ok.

I've been coming to this location for approximately 30 years. The service and food has always been top notch. I've been to a few out of state locations over the years and have never even come close to this Fudd. Can't say enough great things. Tip the counter staff, everyone is working hard!

Had a wonderful lunch here today! Fuddruckers was my favorite place to go to as a kid to enjoy an excellent burger. I am excited to say that this is my go to spot for when I'm craving a burger. Got a 2/3 bacon and cheddar burger and it was cooked just how I asked and loaded with quality and flavor. The wings and chips & queso were also excellent. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Prices are right where they need to be. To be completely honest, this burger at the price point blows out the overpriced burger joints that never seem to impress. I'm excited to go back!

People are very friendly Ordered the mushroom Swiss burger no bun $9 Was expecting a little more. Just kind of dry, even though I ordered medium rare mushrooms were tasteless and so overcooked Not what I remember Fuddruckers to be. They are doing a good job of social distancing and keeping the restaurant clean. The bakery cookies and bread smell and look wonderful

The thing about fuddruckers Is that It's been around for decades. Great caliber burgers cooked the way you want it. I'm not gonna knock on these guys just because they're a chain. I really do enjoy coming to eat here. Tonight I put the Inferno Burger to the test. On the board, the name of the burger is printed on fire graphics. So one would probably expect rat this burger is gonna be properly spicy. Medium rare please. I get my burger, I build my condiments, I eat and I make my verdict. It's not spicy at all, but that's probably because I have a high tolerance for spice. I still enjoyed it because the burger was cooked medium rare hella properly. I love a restaurant that can give me a proper medium rare. Anyways, the service was pretty good,, the cashier listened and took our orders like a pro. The floor employee attended to us like a pro and the cooks cooked my burger like a pro. Thanks fuddruckers! See you again next time.

Been a long time since we ate at this location. It has fallen a long way! absolutely disgusting! Garbage on the floor, dirty tables, dirty counters, coffee grounds all over the drink, station, food particles all over the toppings bar. We left before we even took a bite of our food. We were so disgusted. We will never go back!

The place to make your own burger creation is every red blooded, meat eating, saturated fat enjoying American pioneers dream. Unfortunately that's why the waste line has suffered as much as the cholesterol uptick. All this said I will continue to enjoy the great food and sports themed setting fuddruckers has to offer. They do a good job keeping the customer first here The waitstaff, manager and bartender keep the place lively, clean and friendly. Weather your having drinks and burgers with your buddies or just enjoying a meal with the family they bend over backwards to make you feel at home. Whatever your burger craving may be you can be sure that fuddruckers with accommodate and satisfy that carnivore craving. Lots of parking as well makes it nice on those busy Friday and Saturday nights. I also like that they always have the local sports teams playing to keep us happy and tuned into the best teams Detroit has to offer. Give them your business and walk away a happy and fully satisfied burger connoisseur.

My boyfriend and I stopped here last night after not having been here for several years. I like the option of building your own burger at the self serve section, plus having full service at the bar area. Leah was our waitress and was very friendly and helpful. There was quite a few people in the bar area and she was the lone waitress, though she did get everybody everything they needed quickly and efficiently. My boyfriend and I split the loaded fries ($4.99) off the appetizer menu. Potato wedges topped with bacon, cheese, sour cream and chives. Pretty big portion. We ate about half. No complaints. Fries were pretty crispy and weren't soggy. I had the 1/3 burger well with provolone. Cooked perfectly and really juicy. I loved the soft bun. My boyfriend got chili on his burger and they actually serve it on the side. Less messy that way. Or you can dunk it. Pricier compared to other burger places but I prefer quality over everything else. Made fresh buns and fresh meat. Never frozen. Keno available! Definitely will be back!

Food and service were good (Tristan did a good job in the bar), but the menu is limited compared to the competition. Good atmosphere with plenty of room to eat. Self serve is available as well, which is unique to an establishment of this type.

I've never been here before, but for years, my wife has been demanding a nostalgic dinner to remind her of her youth and the times she spent here with her family. We went here with another couple on a Saturday night and sat in the bar area. It was about 9pm, and the place was basically empty. We all ordered a burger, and a side of "frings" (onion rings and fries.) I had no preconceived notions of what the burger would taste like, but I must say, it was really tasty. It was nicely seasoned, and a really hearty burger. The onion rings and fries weren't overly oily or greasy. It was a really good, delicious meal. I'd definitely be willing to come back again sometime.

I was extremely shocked at how decent the burgers were it wasn't necessarily a 4 but very close to it, I really enjoyed how you can add your own condiments and toppings which is so nice especially for a girl like me who loved extra veggies on her burgers, I ordered the bourbon and it was delicious the BBQ sauce on it was so sweet and I added some jalapeños on the side and it made it sweet and spicy, it was pretty good. Would recommend if you haven't been.

Great dinner option, service is perfect and prices are great. Food is on point too. It's nothing luxury but its tasty.

We had a great experience at this restaurant. I have never had such a delicious mushroom and Swiss burger, ever. The potato wedges were amazing. And my kids both loved the chicken tenders, not to mention the free cookie with their meals. We will absolutely be back!

Haven't been in here in years!! Came with a few buddies today and we enjoyed the food. I had the 2/3 bacon burger, wings, and nachos & queso dip. The burger was amazing. Juicy and cooked to perfection. The wings were good as well. The nachos and queso dip were great. Overall a 10/10 experience and we will definitely be back. Came here again the last two weeks twice and I absolutely love this place. This the best location. I am not sure why the other locations cannot just duplicate the food and recipes here and just put it to work at the other locations. If every location was as good as this one then Fuddruckers would be in the consideration for best burger joint in the country.

Good solid burger done to your liking. All the condiments you can imagine, can make a meal from them alone! More options than just burgers too. This place has a bar area to the back area where they take your order so you don't have to wait in line. Overall a better option to your typical burger joint!

10 years ago I would eat here every couple weeks with a group of friends. Yesterday a couple of that old school crew met up here for a walk down memory lane. It was just as good and consistent as i remember years ago, You start off walking in with two options. Go to the bar area which has regular tables, and a nice long bar to have full service, or get in line to order counter style. Counter style you get a pager when your burger is up, and then visit the 'burger bar' for all your fresh toppings and sauces. Full service your burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onion by default. This is in additional to special items such as sauteed mushrooms that come on the special burger of course. Your waitress/waiter will be happy to get you other toppings, or you can run over to the station yourself. The first thing about Fuddruckers is that my burger is always perfectly cooked, and cooked to my order. I've had flawless medium rare every time. I almost always get the 1lb burger, and it's so damm juicy. Keeping the same thickness, but going wider is the key to maintaining a perfect cooking of such a large patty. The second best thing is the in house made bun, that is FLAWLESSLY toasted on the inside. There is this perfect line between over toasted, and just 'looking brown' to seem toasted. They hit the mark so well! The same area making the in house buns, is making fresh cookies. If you like cookies, and haven't had these you must stop in. Cooked fresh all day, they are crispy on the bottom, and slightly gooey near the top. Reese's peanut butter, chocolate chip, sugar, and oatmeal raisin. There are also rice crispy treats. The cookie counter is accessible just to the right when walking in, and has it's own register. When in line for burger service you can order a cookie with your meal / combo, and you get a voucher ticket to get a cookie at the cookie counter. Easy! They have seasoned potato wedges that are very good, but I crave the onion rings. I'm torn on 4 or 5 stars. I've never had bad service, or bad food. The food quality is great, the bun is great, the cooked to order is great. For what it is, it's awesome. They've expanded the menu to include chicken sandwiches, and salads. If I'm at a restaurant and I'm feeling a burger I'll order one, but if I'm still in my car craving a burger, I come here. Slider cravings are a separate category ;)

Have missed you Fudd. Many fond memories. Grabbed a Mushroom Swiss and a Bourbon special. Tasted okay... because they were drowned in sauce and caramelized onions. The hamburger meat on it's own ..is nasty. Nowhere near your burger quality of past years. All curbside for us now, if we were in house... it would have been sent back.

A bit overpriced in my opinion. But I like the idea of being able to put your own condiments (mayo, lettuce, pickles etc). But I LOVE the decor.

I didn't know this place existed until a friend of mine asked me to meet them up here for some food while they were on lunch at work. My friend knows I'm not a big person of chain restaurants but I don't want to disappoint her so I met her up here. This place definitely feels like you're early 90s vibe restaurants that are definitely outdated and not help with the new trend of restaurants and food that I'm used to. Walking into this place really reminds me why chains are dying out in the United States. I will say the food actually wasn't too bad and the staff were pretty nice and helpful. But maybe an update on your building on how it looks l like your 90s kind of place would definitely help you get the younger crowd. Unfortunately too many chains don't understand that my generation and younger are big into chain restaurants anymore in the same food over and over again I feel like this is why this place doesn't have many locations personally around Michigan. But I would recommend this place to maybe my mom who would really definitely like this place.

This is our burger Go-To place. Great burger and a fair price. If you don't have a good burger it's because you built it wrong. All good ingredients and you choose them. No one to blame but yourself. They also have a bakery there and the cookies and brownies are great. Real brownies not a dense chocolate cake with frosting. Shakes are pretty thick too. People who criticize this place always turn out to be individuals who can't select toppings and condiments they like and blame the restaurant. One note, the Fuddruckers on Van Dyke in Sterling Heights is quite a bit better than the hall road place. Manager is friendly and staff is superlative. It's larger cleaner but bathrooms aren't that impressive.

Great burgers and service good cookies and ice cream treats great service for over 20 years get the elvis booth if you can

I haven't been here for 30 years...from what my mom told me, on opening day. I don't remember any of it, of course, but my family had been here recently and were really happy with it. So I went with them next time. I love the toppings bar and condiment bar. I mixed BBQ sauce, mustard, and mayo together for my onion rings (which were amazing), and it was almost like a Chic-Fil-A sauce. My 2/3lb burger (go big or go home, right?!) was cooked properly, which isn't usually the case on thicker burgers. The loaded fries we all split were also very good -- fluffy on the inside, crunchy on the outside. The chicken tenders were a little overfried, which made them not the best I've tried, but good enough for what they are. My daughter loved her kids burger and liked doing her own condiments, even if it was just mustard, haha. The kids loved getting a cookie coupon and going up to choose their own. My wife said the sugar cookies were really good, and she's a stickler with cookies. Prices were reasonable, especially when compared to something like Red Robin. The restaurant was clean, service was friendly, and I look forward to coming back again. Soon, I hope.

The experiance at fuddruckers. The burgers are fresh the bunch of fresh. you need your burgers quarter pound, half pounds 13 ounces in 2 thirds of a pound and one whole pound. The atmosphere is quite noisy. they have serve yourself are an awesome full service car. you make the choice. There is also a bakery here with fresh cookies.. Here's the challenge. Say Fuddruckers 3 times fast without making a mistake in the name!!

Service is amazing!! Sara was wonderful and made a bad situation a little better. Food is awesome and atmosphere is chill.

There burgers are great as well as the fries I would recommend coming here also there prices are pretty good not bad.

Love this place. It's in walking distance. Everyone is so friendly. The place is always clean.

I love a good hamburger and this is one of my favorite places to enjoy one. Yesterday I strayed from my usual burger and ordered the dogzilla which was awesome! It was a foot long on their tasty buttery toasted bread. I also can't resist the seasoned potato wedges. The inside dining area has a old fashioned theme and for those of you who have never eaten here you order fast food style at the counter then you get a pager that buzzes for you to pick up your food. In the meantime you find a table and seat yourself. There is also a sports bar and bakery! Their bakery makes the best cookies and brownies! I mean for once these are desserts that taste as good as they look! Their chocolate chip cookies top any Ms. Fields and coffee house cookies that I've ever tried!

Met with my Dad here for lunch today while he had an hour wait on swapping out some tires at the Discount Tire next door. Cozy, laid-back, casual burger joint. Less gaudy themed decor compared to Red Robin, which I liked. Neighborhood style bar, counter service option for takeout, and friendly blue collar neighborhood wait staff. I had a coupon from joining their eClub for a 1/3 lb. burger, fries & pop combo for $7 even, so I chose that. The bun was buttered and warm. The patty was cooked medium, just enough gray-pink inside, as I ordered, and was very juicy. The burger had some lettuce, onions, tomato, and pickles on it, and came with a side of mayo. The seasoned fries portion was modest but complemented the burger as I was able to have a few fries after each bite. I noticed a promo for their "exotic" burgers which featured items such as buffalo, elk, and wild boar lean burgers on wheat buns. I'm sure there's a premium on those tags, but it was very cool to see they had it. Overall, this places serves up a juicy, classic hometown burger. The menu is so simple and the waitstaff is friendly. If you want a birthday burger, I would choose Red Robin's gourmet burgers, but if you want a casual burger in a real hometown setting, I would choose Fuddrucker's. Burger for burger I still prefer the cheaper and meatier Five Guys (more meat on the double patty burger, more fries, similar pricing, counter service w/no tip), but for a more restaurant feel where you can down a few beers and see what sports are on TV, Fuddrucker's still does a good job.

I didn't eat at Fuddruckers in over 10 years and I think I would keep it that way. Not impressed with the food. Customer service is alright. I ordered an elk burger cooked medium. I think it's cool you putt your own toppings on, but I didn't know you have to order with cheese if you want cheese on it. My bad I thought it would be with the other toppings. When I got my elk burger it wasn't elk, the meat was over cooked also very dry and grows. The cheese sauce oh dear lord grows. The veggies are very fresh though. But I will not be introducing in coming back.
