“ Amazing! Drove by after a hockey game and thought the building looked cool - old school 50's hamburger stand. The burgers were great. Slider size burgers on small buns. I didn't get the onions but my daughter did and loved them. The girls working were very friendly and helpful walking us through what we should get. We will come back whenever we're in the area for games or visiting our friend who said he's been eating here for over 59 years. FYI: Get the 6 pack or at least doubles. ”
“ Had an excellent old school diner experience here. Simple breakfast over easy eggs and sausage. The sausage was spicy and had a great taste. Coffee black perfect. Try it out for something different than the norm and of course you can't beat the price. Enjoy ”
“ Best sliders place there is, legendary in livonia. Always loved taking my son there after hockey game or practice. ”
“ Love bates!! It's a classic. Their burgers are great and affordable. They've got a good system going. I understand they're a classic, but would love to have a few more options (like the ability to add lettuce, more shake flavors because they only have chocolate). Other than that, it's amazing. Good carryout option and fun to dine in, too. ”
“ Local place which is iconic!! Amazing burgers and shakes! Also try their chili cheese fries. Everything is made fresh and you can sit inside as well to each with limited seating. If you've never been stop in and support this local place! It use to be cash only but they now accept cards and also online ordering. We love it. ”
“ Any time I see a big white building like this I know the sliders are gonna be top notch. Bates doesn't do anything completely different from the rest, but I think the food here definitely looks better than some places that make their food a bit sloppy. I also really enjoy their chili cheese fries and hotdogs. It's just good ole' comfort food with fast and dependable service. ”
