Mercury Bar Reviews

What a happy accident finding this place! Mark and the staff were friendly and helpful, drink and food menu has great selection and EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT! I'll definitely recommend this place and return!

Drinks are awesome, food is great and the staff are very friendly

Small little place.. Good for a quick bite and a few drinks when down in the D

Always solid. If you haven't been here, it's worth a look. If you have, maybe check it the other places in Corktown

Authentic poutine! Absolutely the best I've had outside of Montreal. If you're craving this francophile heart-attack inducer, look no further. I stop in once in a while when I get nostalgic for La Belle Province. Otherwise, the burgers are good, the beer selection is very good, and the patio is great for outdoor dining when the weather is right. Don't even try it on a weekend evening, though. The lines are stupid crazy.

You have to really love garlic to like these fries. Luckily I live garlic! The beer was excellent as was the friendly staff. Close parking, too!

Quality down. Just not what they used to be.
Worst poutine I have had. Period. If I lived closer I would have took it back. Tasted like someone warmed up grocery aisle gravy.

The place to go for excellently cooked stator tots!

Best burgers and boozy shakes! It s great for families and get together with friends. Note they have a small kitchen so the food does take a decent amount of time to prepare but it s worth the wait!

Awesome food...server was a little weird...parking not that great.

Solid burger joint in an up-and-coming area. Paid parking is a downside but the restaurant was top notch

They have very limited vegetarian and vegan options.

It was realy great for a hang out with friends and family, but my sister and cousin said that they didn't like the fries. I guess the are used to McDonald's and not real food.

Excellent spot in Corktown for a burger or a dog. Grab a drink and relax. If the weather permits, the patio has a fun casual vibe and is perfect for dining so fresco.

Great atmosphere and design, love the beer garden. Southwest Detroit Burger was really good but just too much going on to be great. Tater tots were phenomenal. One negative is the plastic cups for drinks, I get it for outdoors but would like to see a change. Recommended if you re in the area.

We really enjoyed this place. Good food, friendly staff, and they allow dogs on the patio. Will definitely return.

Great location. Really good food. Awesome deck dining. We'll be back!

This place serves great burgers and fries. Not the same old fast food taste either. This place has a cozy sporty feel to it that allows a person to wind down and enjoy the atmosphere.

There are TVs for entertainment as well and the clientele seems diverse and laid back. I recommend this place...

Best burger in ages. Look past the shabby exterior and location and enjoy the food

Cool patio, excellent Topor Burger, amazing service!

Mercury Burger is my favorite burger place in the world! In the shadow of the Michigan Central Station, parking is always available nearby. Great beer on tap. Fries are always golden brown and crispy! Burgers are juicy and always very carefully made. Highly recommend!!

Get the special tots. Enjoy the view from the windows.

I'm not much of a food critic but this is definitely worth stopping by. Great burgers.

Great all american diner setting with spiked shakes.

Great patio in the summer. Decent selection of beer on tap. All of the staff are good and some are outstanding. I'm not a carnivore, but my friends tell me the burgers are great.

Fast and delicious food for lunch and pretty good drinks as well!

Great burgers, but the fried bologna sandwich and Putian (gravy fries) the absolute best.

Great stop for a delicious burger that'll hit the spot!

Love the Chicago and New York dogs only problem is I've been here quite often even when slow. I don't get how it usually takes a half hour to get food there hot dogs it's not steak or chicken. I'll be back because food is good.

Great place 2 slide into not 2 expensive even cool 4 a date

Get the poutine tots and let them change your life. Great food and amazing service. You will love it here.

Please note, the poor rating is strictly due to service. The food and atmosphere is usually really good. Being in the middle of Corktown, I cannot believe Mercury would not have a higher level of customer service. From the I could care less you re here hostess, to the straight RUDE bartender, service was poor. The spicy margarita, was a sugary mess and the bartender was annoyed when we asked to remake. You have some of the highest quality bartenders in the city on that street, with great attitudes. I ll be damn if we spend a dime of our money in a place that doesn t want us there.

Every time before the food has been good but last time I went I got very sick. The turkey burger was undercooked, which we didn t realize til the end because we were sitting in the back patio which is very dark. This caused me and my roommate to have food poisoning.

The Turkey Burger was delicious. I was surprised that the garlic fries weren't covered in a dry rub it sauce, but rather a large amount of minced garlic glove.

A great place that's in Corktown. Burgers are fantastic the french fries are phenomenal and the drinks are ice cold. And it's dog friendly. I would highly recommend

Great place, they were extremely accommodating for us and our small kid

Great food
Invest in new patio tables please

This place has some good burgers and awesome faygo shakes.

Food was excellent but server Emily was awful. She was not professional at all. We were on our lunch hour and we couldn't depend on her to get us out in a timely matter. If it was busy I could understand but it wasn't. We will not be going back for lunch anymore.

Burgers here are really good and the location is awesome. You're right in front of the train station. Parking may be a little tough for people not familiar with the area but, nevertheless the place is well worth it. One of my favorite burgers joints in south east michigan!

I went to this place a lot, and they have always been great until the last time when they overcooked my burger

Burgers and tots were good, but nothing really special about them. The sake was not great. The food was way over priced, if you are willing to spend this much just go to slows. Also the music was really loud and took away from conversation and it took way too long to get the food. I would not come here again. It is just like every other hipster place out there, over priced!!!!

California turkey with salsa. Phenomenal!! Best turkey burger I've ever had

Worst experience of my life. Would not recommend. Worst management. Management very inconsiderent

Oh my goodness!! So good! Love to come here and want to eat EVERYTHING, sadly, I can't even finish what I order! So much good food!

Didn't have a good experience. Food was cold. Service was slow..

Very good good and service. But pricey for the portions u get

The turkey burgers are awesome! The fries are awesome! The coleslaw is better than KFC's, which is awesome!! My husband and I live in the area, so we call in our order, pick it up, go home and enjoy our dinner! We just discovered the restaurant and are now regulars!! You have got to try the turkey burger!!

Came here again for late-night milkshakes, burgers and fries and it was all A++. If I could only pic 2 out of the 3 I would do the milkshake and seasoned fries.

Good food, but took forever to get a seat... 45 minutes on a "5 minute wait". Waiter was nice, but disappeared for far longer than necessary for refills. Vist during the week, weekends too busy and not enough staff. Also a bit pricey for what are basically okay to good burgers, but not amazing.
