I'm surprised that I haven't reviewed Bate's yet. I've been going here for 23 years and try to go no less than once a month. Best slider joint around and their coney chili is excellent. Three cheese with everything and a chili fry with onion please!! I can't wait for my next lunch here.

Bates Burgers in Livonia is more than just a great place to grab a bite—it’s a place full of heart and memories. We absolutely love their sliders; they’re always hot, fresh, and delicious. But what makes Bates truly special is the feeling it brings. For our family, it brings back the fondest memories of grabbing a bag of burgers and fries with our grandparents—it’s part of our story. The food is classic, the service is fast and friendly, and the experience is full of nostalgia. If you grew up in the area or just appreciate a timeless burger joint, Bates is a must-visit!

Been going here my whole life. It's somewhere everybody in this area should try! 6 sliders for 6 cheeseburgers for 12.75 is a good lunch deal for 2.
