This is the place for hamburgers. This place did not disappoint. Their burgers are so juicy and tasty. You have to try it to see what I'm talking about. Service was great and so is the atmosphere. I would come back here for another bite.
Just stuffed our faces. Alex was great, on top of it the entire meal. Great attitude and service. The food, out of this world. Only burger we've had better cans from our kitchen. Definitely will be back.
Very yummy food came in a timely manner as a fellow traverse citian this is a good place and I would definitely recommend. I had the mac and cheese bites which came with ranch and was delicious then I had the pulled pork sandwich with was phenomenal and came with some special house dipping sauce for the fries which was amazing.
This place was great! We wanted some burgers and stopped by this place we left Traverse City and we were glad we did. Got there before 5PM so I was able to get the $10 beer and burger deal, while my girlfriend got the burger w/ melted cheese on top and she was not disappointed. Food was amazing and the price was good, most definitely would comeback next time we are up!
I will forever get the steak frites here. I love that the steak is served whole and not cut up. They cook it perfect every time! And it’s suuuuch a good deal at $20! I get it almost every time I’m here ♥️ The wings are very good as well! The reuben egg rolls are my go to app as well!
First time in Traverse City, and we decided to try Bubba's. The food was so good, and the waiter was fun! They have the best sweet potato tots! We also had the Reuben and pulled pork mac & cheese. So good! It was worth the wait to enjoy this place.
We are tourist here and used google to find you. The reviews do not lie. Your food was amazing. We ordered 4 different burgers and ALL were cooked amazing. However the best part was your staff. I came in with 3 young boys around 7:45pm. They were on a wait, so we decided just to get take out. The staff was AMAZING! We just came in tonight. Shout out to the host, the young server who rang me up, and the bartender who cashed us out. The teamwork and the welcoming environment was everything. We have another trip planned here at the end of May and I hope to be back. From one service industry person to another YOU ALL ROCK! Thank you. ❤️
Simply put, the best burger i have ever had. The 4 alarm cheese burger has fresh cut jalapeños with candied bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a wonderful sauce. It was perfectly cooked to a medium finish with pink in the middle. Juicy and perfectly seasoned meat. The fries were a nice treat. Excellent service and was dinged 1 star as my drink never got refilled. My other family members got refills. No worries as there was just enough to finish. Price was $16. Kids loved the smoked cheddar mac and cheese loaded with pulled pork. Its a lot and neither teenage girl could finish. Thanks for the wonderful lunch. Sorry for no food photos. I couldn’t stop after the first bite and realized it was too late half way through the meal.
Burgers and customizability was just what we needed. Our server, who worked at the bar was awesome, helpful, and even gave us strawberry puree to add to our ginger ale.....it was a hit. (Wish I remembered her name) Great job!
Such a great place I have eaten here both days this week that we used the airport in Traverse!!! Day flying in and out to visit Mackinaw Island. BEST BURGER, haystack onion rings, mushrooms, bacon with blackened burger!!!! AWESOME AWESOME!! Onion rings were crunchy and onion didn't pull out on first bite!! The Burnt end special with asparagus, lemon aoli and balsamic vinegar was another unique sandwich that was absolutely awesome!! See picks for a delight and visit this place and have a great beer on tap!!! Will not be disappointed for sure!!!
