    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.

    The Original Marcus Hamburgers is celebrating 90 years in business. The place is a Detroit gem where the food is made from scratch and per order. They only accept cash, but the prices are low compared to the surrounding restaurants. The owner is there nearly every day working behind the grill, say hi to Mike and you will be treated like family. The Marcus Burger is unlike any other burger and it has been made the same way since 1929.

    Ive been going here for many years and love the burgers with lots of onions! Its alittle old "hole in the wall" looking restaurant thats not been updated ever but the food is good and the people are friendly. My only big complaint is don't ever use the bathroom there, Im serious..its the worst, like no toilet paper and dirtier then you could even imagine, also the general neighborhood is alittle scary.
