They have lost my business forever. We rented their party bus, placed a down payment on it - and then waited...and waited...and waited.
The bus never showed. I called multiple times - and finally the Driver answered  - and there were ppl partying in the background.
Next, I finally got in touch with a "manager" who tried to run me around the bush with excuses. The bus was out with another party of a "friend". He finally admitted to it and then I had to fight to get my money back. What a joke and insult.
Who gives a squat if they were on TV ever. They do not know how to take care of their customer. Fools.
Stay away and don't give them a dime of your money. If you want names, and proof that they ripped me off - private message me on here and I will show you images of my "deposit" slip.
Thanks.
Came here for three reasons: recommendation of a friend, Man vs food, and the fact that its not far from the MJR Southgate. For starters, we had the spinach and artichoke dip, which to me was very very average (should of followed my 1st mind and tried the wings, but will next time) and the only reason why this review gets four stars. They have good beer prices and i heard that this place is even popping on a Saturday with a dance floor and a DJ. As for the entrees themselves, I had the Kobe burger, which was so so so great and on point, no flaws in this burger trust me. The Fries here also real good and even the prime rib (had a bite of my fiancee) was so freakin good here. Overall, a definite must try for all.
Review Source:This place perplexes me. Â The food is always awesome. Â But every single time we have been here for lunch, service has been insanely slow and inattentive. Â To the point my husband will say he never wants to eat there again. Â And then we do, as the food is good. Â I have also been here for political fundraisers and they put on a great spread for those as well. Â Those are much better service, the waitresses are quick with drinks and very on top of things. Â They are famous for being on Man v Food, and they play that up with lots of ads in the menu and o the walls, which is a fun element. Â The owner is a super nice, family guy too. Â I recommend eating there, but only if slow service does not bother you.
Review Source:My office is around the corner and I very much enjoy this place. Â The burgers are fantastic and the price is pretty good as well. Â Definitely recommend it.
On a side note Ms. Jenna C: Â If you flew into DTW you would be in Detroit what so ever, you would actually be in the city of Romulus about 20 min away (car) from Detroit. The entire area around here are warehouses, offices, and the airport. Â Had you been to Downtown Detroit you would possibly notice the two massive stadiums Comerica Park and Ford Field, that are directly across the street from each other, or maybe even the Fox theater.
We came here after being stranded in Detroit for 24 hours, when our flight home was canceled. We needed lunch, needed to get out of downtown (so we wouldn't run the risk of getting shot).
We each ordered a 1/2 lb burger - I had one with Swiss cheese and mushrooms, and sweet potato fries. Service was decent, our waitress refilled our sodas without being asked, and it was empty - that might be because it was 12:30 on a Tuesday.
There wasn't anything insanely remarkable about this place, but it was pretty good, and if I lived in the area (God Forbid) I would go back.
2nd time at this establishment. Nothing revolutionary here. Nor, would I expect it. But what they do, they do well. Reasonably friendly attentive and accurate service. Once again I got the all you can eat Thurs king crab special and they were juicy and succulent and not over cooked to death. We got the appetizer combo and the individual items were good, with the onion rings and potato skins being the standouts. Coconut shrimp was good but didn't really taste of coconut.My sister got the fish and chips and it was really good. They really need a sweet tropical/coconut dipping sauce to pull that one together. We went there for my neice's bday present to get her the Giant Sundae. Was a huge hit.
Review Source:Burgers and Beer + Keno!
This place has been on on the shows (Discovery Channel, Man Vs Food, etc...)... Â They are knoww for the 1/2lb, 1lb, 3lb, 10lb, and their 338lb(/) Burger.
It is funny because if you get the 338lb burger to go - there is an additional $200 charge (probaly for the box they have to put it in.
It was a quiet day on Friday around 2:30 PM. Â We ordered our burgers (1/2 lb). Â I think our crew was expecting these over the top burgers (see Thurman Cafe Review in Columbus) but that is not what this place is about. Â This place is about the meat and what accentuates the meat. Â
I ordered the Bacon Blue. Â My burger arrived and I received exactly what I ordered. Â Â A juicy half pound burger cooked medium, with blue cheese crumbles and mozerrella melted on top/ with two large pieces of bacon. Â Â The only thing they served with this burger was a thick slice of white onion along with my side of Sweet potato fries.
It was very very good. Â Great flavor. Â Â I accompanied my meal with a soulful beer called the Detroit Dwarf.
Atmosphere - It was quiet when we went but looked fun with tv's showing sports. Â They have KENO, scratch-offs, and pull tabs for those who like to gamble. Â
Service - Service was okay. Â Our waitress was finiishing her lunch 2 tables away but afterwards she was attentive. Â This may want to change in the future. Â Our food came out hot but our drink orders were a little slow.
Food - Very Good - If you are not going to order a larger burger - don' t expect over the top toppings. Â Just expect good food. Â Â They have a good craft beer selection.
Cost - $8 for the burger and fries. Â Â $4 for the craft beer
I will be back!
This is a tough review for me. If I were to review the food  and daytime atmosphere, I would give it 4 stars. If I were to review the drinks and nighttime atmosphere, I would give it 2 stars. So, I am somewhere in between on this one. I will start with the 2 star review move forward. Here goes:
I do not like this place for a Friday night out with friends. The drinks are crappy/watered down and the crowd just isn't my style. However, the crowd and atmosphere of this place on the weekend nights is totally based upon preference. I am not a huge sports fan nor did I grow up downriver so me not liking this bar in the evening time, is totally my due to MY taste. Too 'downriver' for me. I understand I will probably get a lot of heat from that last comment but it is what it is. It's a total downriver vibe (sports, cheap beer, hmmmm?! think....nascar!).
Moving on; the burgers here are pretty frickin tasty. The Kobe Beef burger is real juicy and has a distinct flavor. This burger comes on a warmed, glistening bun. I recommend it to anyone. The sides are average sides as this is a bar after all. With one exception, the sweet potato fries. A lot of places under or over season sweet potato fries but Mallies does them justice. Order them!
As for the service, it has always been decent for my visits. I haven't left saying, "Wow, that waitress was awesome," or anything but haven't left angry either. The staff has been efficient enough.
I will certainly go back here for daytime visits. I am a burger fanatic and well, they have me hooked. Plus, I have a dream where I go there and swim in their gigantic sundae that is plastered all over their menu. This sundae is huge and looks amazing. A novelty? Yes!, But damn, I picture heaven having sundaes of such massiveness and chocolate. Mmmm.
Very long wait followed by VERY slow service. Decided to go here or dinner at 5pm on a Saturday. We were still waiting for our drinks to get to the table and our food order to be taken at 6:30. This place was really not even very busy. Â Food tastes pretty good but is not worth the wait!
Review Source:Awesome! Top ten sports bar in the Midwest. The ambiance was screaming "Go Detroit (name your tram here)". The food and beer specials were also top notch. But the thing I liked most after visiting it twice in a day for a wedding trip, the waitress was very attractive (somewhat cleavage revealing) and she paid attention to the ladies in our party as much as the men. Most bars like this the waitress will focus on the flirts with the men and as a second thought, ask the ladies what they want. NOT HERE! My wife and the others were very appreciative of the equal treatment and I will go out of my way as well as recommend this place to anyone that asks! Oh, by the way, they are family owned and execute as well as any chain I've been to!
Review Source:I woke up this morning craving a BLT. Â So, I thought long and hard about what sports bar I could visit, that would have good burgers or bar food.
I had a couple of places in mind, one of which wasn't open yet, so I headed towards Mallie's. By the time I got there (12:05 pm), they were open (at noon), so I was in luck.
While I initially wanted a BLT, the "Mile High Club" sandwich caught my eye. You got the choice of fries, home made chips, sweet potato fries, cole slaw or pasta salad. I got the pasta salad... it was tasty & typical.
The sandwich, though, was delicious. It had ham, turkey, applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese and a very tasty honey dijon sauce. It was really good. The portion size was nice, too. Unless you're really hungry, you'll have enough to box up and carry home.
The decor of Mallie's is that of your typical sports bar. What surprised me is that there were small flat screen tvs at each booth! Â That was exciting to see. But no volume and no channel control. :-/
There was this weird lobster game. It was a claw that you manuveur... think an arcade game in which you try to pick up stuffed animals or pillows or now, purses. You can never win anything in those games. You just kinda halfway pick something up and it falls right out of your grip. Now think of how weird that is with live lobsters.
Mallie's has these huge burgers in different sizes so you can either partake in their challenge burger OR challenge your friends with specific sizes. The biggest burger was even featured on Man vs. Food Nation, as well as other food shows that feature big servings or big foods.
They have an all you can eat crab leg special, too. Their website has info on the all you can eat nights, as well as other specials they often have.
Being a vegetarian and going to the world's largest burger place might have been a bad idea. Â However, the idea was no issue. Â They had a full menu, amazing sweet potato fries, and yes the 10lb burger challenge which my boyfriend attempted.....key word, attempted. Â They give you a packaging box to take the rest of your 10lb burger in, becausw it is so damn big. Â My veggie burger was yumtastic and all of our companion's food was dynamite as well. Â The only issue was that the service was lousy minus the hostess.
Review Source:I'd give this place a 3.5 star review if I could, but that isn't an option. Â So I am giving it 4 stars since I think it has been unfairly maligned by some of the previous reviewers due to the lobster game. Â
For those of you who have not been to Mallie's and don't know exactly what we are talking about here, Mallie's has a arcade sort-of "claw" game where contestants can, for $2.00, maneuver a metal claw over and into a tank full of lobsters in an attempt to capture one. Â If successful, Mallie's will cook up your lobster for you. Â
While I agree that this isn't "hunting," I'm not sure that really matters. Â Neither is buying a package of frozen hamburger from the corner store. Â But no one is complaining about Kroger's here. Â
Look, if you eat meat (flesh from land, sea or air creatures), this game really should not bother you unless you are extremely naive as to where your food comes from. Â After all, the animal that became your dinner was once plucked up, killed, processed and cooked to feed you. Â Is it any more or less humane because this game allows you to land a hand in killing the animal you are about to eat? Â Of course not. Â If that bothers you, become a vegetarian. Â But don't blame Mallie's for putting the savagery in the open for every one to see. Â
As to the non-lobster aspects of Mallie's, this place is, as described by an earlier reviewer, a pretty typical downriver bar. Â I did, however, find the food to be rather good relatively speaking. Â I really enjoyed the BBQ bacon burger (that's a dead cow and a dead pig that were both butchered for me, but by some one else when I wasn't around... so it's OK I guess). Â The fajitas were good and the french dip also drew rave reviews from another member of our party. Â I'd stay away from the chili though since it was pretty much just watered down tomato soup without much spice. Â
The service was good and the price was reasonable. Â Plenty of TVs and the obligatory sports memorabilia on the walls. Â I'd go back. Â
Ah and yes, this is the place featured on Man v. Food for the giant burger.
I have stopped at Mallie's each time I passed through Detroit and never been disappointed. Â The menu offers a decent variety of food and spirits. Â Service has always been friendly. I truly enjoyed Lora's bubbling personality on my last visit. Â Monday's steak special was prepared with perfection from the chef. And, if you like apple pie, try granny's, it's the best. Â I will always make eating at Mallie's a part of my Detroit visits. Thanks Lora, keep smiling, you are great at what you do!
Review Source:I love going there. Â There is quite a few games to play including Keno and the lobster tank thing. The food has been excellent every time I went and so has the drinks. Â The owner is very nice and tends to be very attentive, but some of the waitresses need to follow his example. Â A few times I had to wait a while for things. Â But all in all I would go again and I find that around lunchtime is the perfect time to visit. Â I have also thrown a party there and it was a great place for that.
Review Source:This place is O.K.  The food was pretty good as well as the beer selection.  I went there to watch the Super Bowl this year.  I drank my beer from a plastic Mallie mug that I saw from the menu.  After spending a few hours there along with running up a sizable tab, we decided to split.  The waitress hands me the bill and reaches over a grabs both plastic mugs to take with her.  I told her I thought they were ours to take with us.  She said no, they belong to the bar.  I said O.K.  I was thinking who the hell wants to drink from a plastic mug that someone else drank from (just like I unknowingly  did).  Well anyway, the waitress comes back, gives us the mugs and said the boss said we could have them.  Geez thanks!
Review Source:ok, this place sucks. it's a typical shitty downriver bar.
the lobster game was horrible, and no i was not the one who thought it was funny.
this is the bar the people who never left downriver go to, and you will prolly run into some people you haven't seen since high school.
i had a decent time, only cos of the people i was with.
i would never CHOOSE to go here.
Their lobster "game" isn't borderline animal cruelty - it's completely blatantly obvious animal cruelty. Â Most people who think of themselves as real hunters don't agree with any sort of caged in, fenced in hunting - which is exactly what this is.
Using an electronic arcade game to try to pluck lobsters from the water to promptly get cooked up... very cruel. Â
Torturing and tormenting these animals just for fun even if you're not planning on catching it and cooking it... Â very cruel. Â
Installing one of these contraptions in your restaurant and allowing this behavior to rage on... very cruel.
Choosing to spend your dining dollars at a place like this... well, just think of it as financing cruelty. Â
BOTTOM LINE: Â Think again. Â It's really not so hard to find a decent place around here that doesn't showcase animal cruelty right at their front door. Â If this is what's going on in the front lobby, what's going on in the back kitchen?
