Sonny's Hamburgers

So I heard that this place was a staple of Detroit. I tried the cheeseburger and fries while I was at the Beyoncé concert at Ford Field. The burger was made fresh to order. The food was OK. Not many options but I assume that was because we were at the stadium. I hear that the actual restaurant has more options on the menu to order from.

Food is excellent. Customer service, not so much. Was told it would be 15-20 minutes. Waited almost an hour. Woman was loud and rude. If the service was better, they'd get 5 stars.

This review only applies to the food truck that was at the jazz festival!

I had their small cheeseburger. I got it loaded with ketchup, mustard, grilled onions, and pickles it was absolutely delicious it just melted in your mouth can't wait to go to their regular store and have more!

Love the cash only, we've done burgers for 50 years greasy burger joints. Check out the pics. This place is all about the burger. This their story from their website "Sonny's Hamburgers is best known for their "old-fashioned" slider burgers. A fresh quality, hand packed, made-to-order burger with grilled onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard. A simple classic burger that is seasoned and cooked with love. A burger from Sonny's is like, "Love at First Bite", with a taste and distinct flavor that will make you want to come back."

The best burger ever! The place makes them fresh and it takes time but its a great burger and service is smooth nothing special. Focus on the food.

The food is spectacular. But watch out for Expired onions. The sugar in the onions goes bad easily and the cooks don't seem to notice... I don't even notice until I'm running for the bathroom the next day.... other than that come as early as possible to avoid the lowlife bums that seem to always litter the corner, might be better off with delivery from ubereats, doordash, etc. And don't bring your woman last time 3 horny bums tried to hit on my lady, right in front of me because they were scum with no decency or manners, very primitive thinking in the locals.

This review is for our food truck experience at Copper Hop. We have been following Sonny's hamburgers for quite some time. We were excited to finally try this amazing looking burger. It was hump day and we couldn't wait to grab a beer and pair it with a great burger. I ended up ordering the regular hamburger and he ordered a hotdog and a small slider. We both decided to indulge and split the chili cheese fries! Yummy!!! We truly enjoyed our hamburgers. They had such a great flavor. The fries were equally delicious. I will most certainly be following this food truck around.

I found this place last winter by accident either on Yelp or driving by. I wanted something different for lunch without having to drive to far, spend to much money and had decent food. Sonny's fit the bill, and seems to have some great reviews.

I've been here a few times now and I kind of like it. The place is small, with a constant flow of people dining in, carrying out and placing orders. The menu is simple and cheap, along with a great staff to boot.

I usually get the two large hamburgers or the 2 large cheeseburgers depending on my appetite. It usually costs between $5 and $6, which is perfect. Plus, the burgers are filling and a nice size.

Sometimes, when I come here, the wait is longer than others, but that's to be expected. Parking is okay, and I never have a problem getting a space. I love the staff here. They seem to work really hard, get my order right and are always spot on.

So, why not the 5 stars? Even though the food is fabulous, every time I leave here I reek of burgers and grease. It's a really strong smell! It's not bad, just a lot. Also, they don't take credit cards. But, overall, I really like this place. Quick and efficient diner style food that's tasty and affordable. I love coming here, and will continue to come here in the future.

Sonny's is an old staple of the city. My first time in and I was not disappointed. In the mist of this Cov-id I decided to try some new restaurants and support local. Taste for a burger, nothing fancy just simple, filling and greasy. At 5:30 called in 2 small cheeseburgers with everything. The lady said 35 minutes. That was cool, I don't live far so I did a few things at the house. Total came to $4.22

Burgers were greasy (I like them that way). Customer service was....Detroit ‍

I'll be back!

Really delicious, but a little pricy for what it is (and where it is). Still not as good as Telway (nothing is, though).

This place was JAMMED with carryout orders on a weekday around 5, so now I know to call ahead next time! They were working like crazy and it still took about a half hour for me to get my food. Not their fault at all, I just didn't know it would be like that!

Food was great though, and the order of cheese fries was HUGE!
