Bates Hamburgers

33406 Five Mile Rd., Livonia Detroit

(734) 427-3464

Diner, Kid Friendly, Menu

This slider stop is a venerable west side institution, with some saying you haven’t lived until you’ve tried one of Bates’ “gut bombs.” The blandishments are few — just the essentials: salt, pepper, mustard and ketchup — but it doesn’t get any more authentic than this. Great for going alone, eating at the counter and rubbing elbows with the people.
BB's Diner

5223 Seven Mile Detroit

(313) 366-0905

Diner

BB's Diner puts a spin on the typical diner stereotypes with its innovation and creativity when it comes to its burgers. Definitely worth the drive.

Don's of Traverse City

48730 Grand River, Novi Detroit

(248) 380-0333

Diner

A spin-off of the original Don's in Traverse City, this wannabe '50s diner is a reproduction all the way but manages to pull off its vintage look. Hand-patted burgers and shakes and malts made on a lineup of Hamilton Beach mixers are accompanied by Elvis on the jukebox. Don't look for Don. The boss is Bob Wilson of Detroit's Wilson Dairy family. ***

Duly's Place

5458 W. Vernor Hwy. Detroit

(313) 554-3076

Diner, Good To-Go, Takeout

The little eatery with a big following of late-night spouse-soppers draws on grizzled Detroiters as well as hungry hipsters, making for an interesting cultural tension. And when we say people rub elbows here, we mean it: The railroad-style diner has low seats before a long lunch counter, with a few tables tucked in the back. It's not just the ambience Duly's has going for it-- with its timeless plastic-lettered marquee menu and a toilet hidden somewhere back in the kitchen-- but the food is solid dinner fare. Enjoy a late-night plate of scrambled eggs with jalapeno peppers and - if they like you - the staff may give you a free Dum-Dum sucker.
Eddie’s Gourmet

(248) 968-4060

American, Breakfast, Diner, Italian, Kid Friendly

Formerly known as Giorgio, at Eddie’s you can get a grilled cheese sandwich or steak Diane. You can also order from the separate pasta menu. It looks like a retro lunch counter, but choose from the “Counterside Gourmet” section of the menu, and you might well be in a little Italian trattoria.

The Ham Shoppe

330 Monroe St. Detroit

(313) 965-0088

Breakfast, Diner, Staff Pick

We love this downtown greasy spoon, and not only because it’s right around the corner. The food is reliable, but it’s also a great place for people-watching. Hard by the courts, it’s a hub of activity around breakfast and lunch, with jurors, lawyers, cops and witnesses gorging themselves on hearty diner fare: chicken pitas, philly steaks, turkey melts, anything that sits heavy in the hamper. Closes at 3 p.m.

Ike's Restaurant

38550 Van Dyke Rd., Sterling Heights Detroit

(586) 979-4460

Diner, Middle East

The bare tables and paper napkins belie the relative stylishness of the setting, and the huge menu meanders through steaks and seafood to Italian and Greek dishes before it gets to its gastronomic raison d’etre — specialties from Lebanon, with hefty portions averaging around $12, including soup and salad, as well as warm fluffy pita baked on the premises. Among 40 starters and salads are lamb sausage, kibbeh balls, labneeh with garlic, saganaki (opa!) and even chicken tenders and cheese sticks. Most of the entrées (the Lebanese ones including various kebabs, kibbeh, grape leaves and a gyro platter) come with an ample helping of vermicelli-enlivened rice doused with tomato sauce. Expect serviceable wines and bottles of Heineken. If you aren't staring down a doggie bag when before dessert, Ike's has a variety of cakes, pies and baklava.

Joey's Famous Philly Cheesesteaks

14625 Northline Rd., Southgate Detroit

(734) 281-4444

American, Diner, Italian, Menu

Sherri Abbulone, from South Philly, and husband Joey, from Woodhaven, have taken on the challenge of creating authentic Philly cheesesteaks Downriver. In their eight-seat storefront they display a testimonial from a retired Ford employee who moved here 44 years ago; he spent that time vainly searching for a real cheesesteak — until Joey’s opened in August 2005. The term “cheesesteak” is misleading, since the sandwich is mostly meat. At Joey’s, it’s made like this: Thinly slice ribeye steak and fry a heap of it on the griddle. Grill sweet Vidalias at the same time. If you’re using American or provolone, lay the cheese over the frying steak, to melt it. Turn the whole thing onto a roll flown in from Amoroso’s Bakery in Philadelphia. If you’re a Cheez Whiz traditionalist, that’s dolloped directly onto the roll.
