When you’re craving a juicy, made-to-order burger in downtown Plymouth, there’s one spot that locals have turned to for over two decades. The Burger Spot has been serving up fresh, never-frozen burgers since 2004, and this family-owned favorite continues to bring quality food and friendly service to the community at 550 Forest Avenue, inside Westchester Square mall.
A Family Recipe for Success
The Burger Spot started with a straightforward promise: quality ingredients and great customer service. In 2014, Jack Ayoub and his family took over the restaurant, keeping its original spirit alive while making improvements that the community loves. Their approach is simple but effective. They use Certified Angus Beef, serve Dearborn all-natural casing hot dogs, and finish meals with Guernsey Ice Cream. Everything is made fresh to order, and customers notice the difference.
By 2022, The Burger Spot expanded beyond its brick-and-mortar location, adding a full-service food truck and catering business that brings its flavors to weddings, corporate events, and festivals across the area.
Build Your Perfect Burger
What makes The Burger Spot stand out in Plymouth’s dining scene is the freedom to create exactly what you want. You can choose from their specialty burgers like the Ring of Fire or the BBQ Bacon Cheddar, or build your own masterpiece from scratch. Pick your patty size (1/3 or 1/2 pound), select your cheese, choose your bun, and load up on toppings. The restaurant offers plenty of free condiments and specialty add-ons to make each burger unique.
The menu goes beyond traditional beef burgers, too. They serve black bean burgers, turkey burgers, and falafel burgers for vegetarian and vegan diners. Gluten-free buns are available, making it easy for everyone to enjoy a great meal together.
More Than Just Burgers
While the burgers get top billing, regulars know that the sides deserve attention too. The garlic parmesan fries are a local favorite, loaded with fresh garlic and cheese, then drizzled in garlic oil. The sweet potato fries come out crispy and perfectly salted. You can also try their homemade onion rings or classic tots. And don’t skip the shakes. Made with real ice cream, they’re thick and creamy and come in rotating weekly flavors.
Chicago-style hot dogs round out the menu, made with those quality Dearborn natural casings that give each bite a satisfying snap. The Burger Spot has been voted best by Detroit Monthly Magazine and selected as a Best Bet by WDIV Channel 4, recognition that reflects years of consistent quality.
