Bates is a legend in the Detroit area. I grew up a mile from this location and when I was back in town for the holiday this weekend, I knew I had to get in there.They seem like the most basic of burgers, and they look like the most basic of burgers. Bun sandwiched around your beef patty, griddled onion and pickle. But these are not basic burgers. You take a bite and they almost melt in your mouth. I don't know how they do it but they are so good!Didn't get this weekend, but their fries are so crunchy and golden. And they have a chocolate shake that will blow any Wendy's frosty out of the water. Thick, rich and the perfect compliment to those fries. I suggest dipping 100% of the time.The menu prices haven't changed in years. There is a bar area inside to sit and eat if you wish. Workers are quick and kind. This is just your standard non fancy Detroit burger and you need to check this place out if your haven't. We need to support the local spots!
