Hunter House Hamburgers

Just a good diner along Woodward to get sliders, fries and a shake. Has been here my whole life and always served great smashed burgers and the chocolate milkshakes are the best! This place pumps out food and provides great service, but during the Woodward cruise be prepared, this place is packed! Love that they've kept the old diner style and cool vintage car photos up!

Classic, comfortable, and affordableDriving up to Hunter House, you get the feel of nostalgia. Quaint parking lot, all white building, and billowing smoke mixed with that unmistakable aroma of burgers on the grill. The inside looks almost unchanged from the '50s with the stainless steel lunch counter-tops, spinning stools, and open concept so you could see the magic happen. The staff had great comradery and chatter behind the counter making it a jovial and lively feel. Meanwhile, a constant stream of patrons, young and old, came by both the walk-up to-go window and dine-in options to feast. The burgers themselves: Excellent. Great cheese melt. The buns are not too cakey and absorb the grease without becoming the central part of the eating. And the burger was steeped in the grease of the hundred or so patties that came before it- all of this culminating in a scrumptious and pleasant experience.

Was waiting for the wife to get a procedure done so I went exploring the hood and see this place saying servicing since 1952 so I had to try it if they been going strong that long!!It's definitely a play off white castles but they are smashed burgers instead of patties . Same concept with pickles and grilled onions. They are also sliders as well. We got the double cheeseburgers and also the fizzy fries It came with bacon, ranch, cheese on them . I have to say pretty good they didn't chince on the items. We also got a vanilla malt to wash it all down. I like the way it looked inside old school diner vibes. They even served the burgers on a real plate. Little pricey but again I guess it's the experience to try something new when you don't live in the area . But they were busy !! If in the area give it a try sorry forgot to take pics but there are pic on their posts .

Was in the area and figured stop in and get a couple sliders, chili fries and a strawberry shake. The sliders were good as usual nicely grilled onions and crisp pickles on the side. The chili fries were fantastic, fries were not soggy and the chili was not spicy at all but very good. The shake was good nice creamy. Friendly hard working staff. Was very busy and they were on top of everything. The place was clean for how busy they were.

There is no way you can be in the area and not stop in for a burger. The parking lot is small and one direction so make it count when you park. No steps to enter and it's seat yourself. I like the stools at the bar. The restaurant smells wonderful of French fries, fresh burgers, and onion rings. Plates are clattering, money is exchanging and people enjoying their meal. Definitely hipster vibe for a Wednesday night.

Coming from Detroit and the Metro area, but you wouldn't think Birmingham would have such delicious burgers. They're as good as all the competitors from Detroit to Warren, they do it right. Everybody in the staff is so accommodating and the service is very friendly., it's small inside, but you'll definitely enjoy your meal

I grew up with Hunter House and coming back after many years away, it was exactly as I had left it. This is one of those places where you get what you order and it's just good - no frills. Two smash burger sliders and a side of fries are my go to. I love the shoestring fries - they were cooked to perfection - just slightly crispy on the edges. Inside is very crowded and it felt a little chaotic. It's far too cold to sit inside and the door slams itself shut SO LOUDLY any time anyone comes in or out that you can't have a conversation with anyone sitting next to you. That being said, I wish there was more outdoor seating.

First visit since COVID..... spot is usually packed so it's best to order ahead...so I did. 3cheese-3burgers everything and large fries. We were told 30min on the order. We live 10 minutes more/less from the place...straight down Woodward ave. We left right after placing the order, we figured we may have to wait but....Food was ready when we arrived?? Whole order was COLD AND DRY! Tasted as though it had been sitting, and not under a heat lamp either. $19+ we paid for this.... I Mean they're sliders right! Bread was falling apart...just not what I expected from this place. In the past I've been more than satisfied. I'll try again but I'll just order when I get there.

Food is always Hot and Fast, love the Service, eating outside in the Summer is Greet. The Old school vibe is cool. Remind me of the old Days, especially when the Woodward Dream Cruise comes down Woodward. No better place to watch.

These are old timey burgers of a high schoolers dream. It won't make you healthier but it will make you less hungry. This is a stop after Friday night hockey practices with hungry 9 yr olds and we've never been in when it wasn't at least marginally busy.
