Creative burgers, boozy shakes, and poutine tots with Detroit nods
"In Corktown Mercury Burger & Bar riffs on diner classics with Detroit flavors — the signature Fried Bologna Sandwich stacks premium bologna, Gruyère, grilled onions, Dijonnaise, and a “smash” of Better Made chips for crunch, and the Boston Cooler blends Michigan Guernsey ice cream with Vernors; hand-cut fries, corned beef on rye, boozy milkshakes, and a bright neon sign keep a loyal neighborhood following." - Wendy Pramik
"Classic burger & milkshake place, with a creative menu that includes more unique burgers, hot dogs, and poutine. Locally inspired options include the Southwest Detroit with a chorizo slider or the Topor Burger with Corktown's own "Topors" Hungarian hot peppers." - Michelle & Chris Gerard
"Choose from 14 different burgers at this Corktown staple at the confluence of Michigan and 14th Street across from Roosevelt Park. Many items on the menu pay homage to the city, including the Southwest, which features a chorizo slider, candied jalapeño relish, pepper jack cheese, and avocado. Pair it with a boozy Hummer milkshake or poutine tater tots slathered in dark gravy. In the summer, the patio is a lovely secluded spot to sip a beer." - Courtney Burk

Best for: Casual atmosphere across the street from Michigan Central Station, but with fewer crowds than some of the other restaurants in Corktown. Be aware, parking in the area has become increasingly congested." - Danny Palumbo
"Corktown’s laid-back burger bar rounds off its menu of boozy shakes and poutine with five styles of natural casing and all-beef franks. Choose from options like the N.Y., N.Y. with corned beef, spicy mustard, and sauerkraut or the Murty-Bird with chicken-apple sausage, caramelized onions, and Dijon. The neighborhood has garnered tons of foot traffic with the reopening of Michigan Central Station, so pay close attention to the parking situation on surrounding blocks so as not to get towed or ticketed." - Brenna Houck
