Editorial Review for Bates Hamburgers – by Karen Dybis
In Short
Grab a stool and belly up to the bar for a fast but tasty bite. Watch your elbows; there are no tables and barely enough room for the waitresses as they scoot along the tile floor. Salty comments from the regulars mix with dishes clanging and your crinkle-cut fries hitting the grease. Best of all, with a full meal comes a small bill.

Bates is legendary in Livonia. If you haven't been there, you must try it. The burgers, while a bit greasy are extremely tasty. Try the crinkled fries and a shake with your burgers as well. Bates used to be open much later back in the day. They close earlier these days so check the hours prior to making the trek.

Oh yes! This place has stuck with the basics! I absolutely love the old "porcelain palaces". Everytime I am in the neighborhood I stop by for three with everything, a coke, and an order of fries well done. The one MAJOR problem with this place is they have no public restroom! I think that is even against Michigan law!
Pros: The ambience is perfect for a "Porcelain Palace", I love it!
Cons: No public restroom! ***No porcelain pony in this porcelain palace!*** Yikes!
