| - Oh look! Another new restaurant opened up in Lakewood. Oh look! Another restaurant opened on Detroit! Didn't that used to be (insert restaurant name here)?
Driving by B2B nearly everyday really didn't have me too thrilled. Another burger joint in Lakewood.... Whoop-di-doo! Let alone just a short distance from Beer Engine. Tonight, figured lets just try it out.
This place is so new you could still smell the paint. For a thirsty Thursday there really wasn't many people in there. It's got a vibrant glow onto Detroit to attract the passer-byers.
Got seated immediately and was seated in the dark corner. Weird, but whatevs. The menu was big and BOLD. Conveniently separated from starters, burgers, and not burgers.
They had a pretty doggone good draft beer list. Lots of local favs as well as some I haven't heard of.
The burger menu had some pretty exotic options from glazed donut buns to burgers with grilled cheese sandwiches as buns! I narrowed down to two burgers - good, bad, & ugly or the breakfast. Good bad ugly had BBQ sauce, bacon, onion straws, tomatoes, lettuce and breakfast had corned beef hash, fried egg and hollandaise sauce. Both sounded amazing! I decided with the good bad ugly.
When asked how I wanted good I asked for rare. Our server didn't even flinch... Which I loved! I like it red, baby!
Wifey ordered a turkey burger....whatever that is.
Food came out super quick! Probably since there was no one else in the restaurant. The burger had a really good size in which I had to split in half. The redness was perfect and exactly how I like it. The entire burger was tasty! The side of fries could have been a little more, but oh well. We asked for coleslaw and pickle spear on the side (menu says by request only!). The coleslaw was creamy and the pickle spear was really really good!
Nice thing was that all the condiments were on the table... Salt, pepper, malt vinegar, mustard, etc. my favorite was the b2q BBQ sauce! Wow! It was like a sweet chili BBQ sauce. I dipped my fries in it and was quite surprised how good it was. I'm sure that BBQ sauce on burgers or wings would be amazing!
Dinged one star for paint smell, server hadn't tried the chili when we asked how spicy it was (our 3 year old son wanted it), roasted red pepper mayo was left off wifey's turkey burger and they forgot to initially bring out coleslaw/pickle and silverware.
I hope this place survives unlike the other previous tenants. Peeked over at the detroiter on the way out and it was completely dead.
If you want to have a thriving restaurant in one of the most demanding food cities, service has to be excellent and new ideas have to brought to the menu every so often.
Enjoy Yelpers!!!
