    I was blessed to be able to try a wide variety of sliders. My favorite, by FAR, was the Gyro slider. I also enjoyed the cheeseburger and the Hot Brown slider. Both were good. The fries, while hot, were really good but being think cut, they cooled REALLY quickly and were not very good reheated.

    Lunch rush is a bit hectic, I recommend coming in after 2. Great place for after work, get a few cheap brews and watch the game. The burgers itself is a bit pricey given that the portion isn't huge. With that said I highly recommend getting the Philly cheesecake and Kimchi. I thought the Coney and fried chicken were mediocre.

    I stopped in this place between a wedding ceremony and reception. Not quite a dive but not a super fancy upscale place, but no weird stares or anything from the patrons dressed in casual fare being that we were dressed to the 9s. Love the sliders, small and gourmet, perfect for a indecisive person like me - order several different things and try them without being over-stuffed! Also very affordable at $3 a pop, it won't break the bank when you try several and also order a few sides to share. I would definitely go back next time I'm in town!

    It really pains me to say this but my experience here was just... meh. My first annoyance is the fact that the only drinks they list are alcoholic and you have to ask about what else they have. I don't drink alcohol and I hate having to make my drink decision in a split second after the waiter tells you what he "thinks" they have while everyone else in your party got like ten minutes to decide. But I suppose that's minor? I just wish restaurants would stop alienating people that don't drink. Next is the food. I was really excited to come here after I saw that they had THREE different kinds of vegetarian burgers. It is so rare to find vegetarian fare around here, especially at a burger joint. I ordered the black bean, the quinoa/kale, and truffle fries while my mother ordered the black bean, the cuban, and regular fries. Unfortunately the best part of the meal was the fries even if they were very salty. The black bean burger has the tiniest piece of tomato I've ever seen and it fell apart while trying to eat it. Not much flavor there. The quinoa and kale burger was a bit better, but the kale chimichurri was very cold and didn't mesh well with the burger. The worst part of the burgers, for me, was the bun. It felt cheap and tasted boring and added nothing to the meal. I might as well have gotten a bag of buns form my local grocer for $1. Very disappointing. All in all, I get the feeling that this place is run by a bunch of hipsters who think that it's enough to have a "quirky" menu without actually delivering on taste. I can't say that I would recommend this place to anyone, especially vegetarians. It's not worth it.

    Good bar. Fun vibe. Good bar food if you have reasonable expectations. Be mindful of your party size and time of day to get a seat.

    Hands down the #1 most amazing sliders I've ever had in my entire life. Their beer selection is also decent. My favorite part about this restaurant is the fact that they always have a mystery meat and I've rarely been disappointed by it. The only reason this place isn't getting a full 5 stars is because the wait has never been loss than 45 minutes, even with a small group. This is due to their popularity moreover than anything but it's still annoying. I also would like to see them switch out the beers a little more frequently. Michigan is a craft beer godsend and it would be nice to see them offering a few new local options.

  • John L.

    Wow what a great fun place to go with friends. Great concept with lots of sliders, fries and great beers. Prices from $2 to $3 dollars but you will want at least 4 sliders, 2 fries and 2 or 3 drinks. Portions are small. Stay away from dessert. Plan on waiting for a table no matter when you go. Try their noodle bowl place around the corner. Fantastic.

    Don't go with the kids! I've ate at green dot a few times and never had any huge complaints. Food is decent and drinks are cheap, it doesn't take much to please me. This time had a terrible experience when I took my kids on a Sunday at 3pm. Wait wasn't bad and hostess told us we could sit at the bar. We were rudely told by the bartender we had to buy drinks or leave. I asked the manager of we could buy drinks although I am 6 months pregnant I would get a coke, manager said I had to buy food. So we were promptly ushered outside in the waiting area where it was a 100 degrees. I was a server and bartender for half of my life so I could understand this if the bar or restaurant were busy, or if it was a Saturday night at 10 pm, but there were at least 6 empty seats at the bar yet we were still not allowed to sit unless we had food. I will say we had a wonderful server, Sam, who was a sweetheart. But after the service I doubt I will be hanging out with the hipsters getting overpriced sliders. Disappointed in you Green Dot, sorry if we are not the customers you want, if so you did a good job at weeding us out.

    A restaurant dedicated to sliders!!! Yum! It was very busy. And there was a great selection of sliders for a small price!! The wait though, was very long!!! There was only 2 of us and we waited close to an hour for our food! We'd still go back though because they were tasty!!

    My friends took me here for my first time last night, and over all it was a cool experience. Although the place is tiny, we just went up to the bar and got a drink to pass the 15 minutes we waited. The food all came out and was good, except for my girlfriends buffalo chicken slider, the chicken was completely raw on the inside. They immediately returned a fully cooked one to the table and had her cut into it to make sure, but her appetite unfortunately was completely gone. Cool place, but I would avoid any chicken from there, being that was her second time being served raw chicken on a bun.

    I don't get the hype. I was there on a Sunday afternoon. We didn't have to wait but I was informed that they only have one kids booster seat and it was already in use. There were 3 tables with babies in laps who I'm assuming would've all liked a seat for their child. If you're going to be open in daytime/kid friendly hours and not declare it an adults only spot and it's fairly big inside... then invest in a few more booster seats. I know some smaller restaurant's only have 1 kids seat and that's fine but the Max occupancy at GDS was 99. Beyond the lack of accommodation for kids, the service just wasn't good. I liked the black bean slider and Vermont poutine... but everything else we tried was only okay. We were really turned off by the service and then my friend and I both got sick shortly after eating here. I felt bad as he was visiting from out of town and I thought this would be an awesome place to show him... but our stomachs were not pleased. Maybe the pootine just living up to its name ;) see what I did there? Obviously my two stars won't put a dent in the 570 rave reviews but I hope that if a GDS employee reads these they can work on buying a few more boosters, at least.

    Outstanding variety of drinks and sliders. Value as prices are very REASONABLE. Highly recommend.

    There's almost no need to review this because everyone knows its awesome. For those who don't: its awesome. We went on a Friday and got there around 6. Any later and we would've been part of the line out the door (although for such a small place there are a ton of places to sit). They've got a list of sliders, sides, and awesome cocktails and drinks. Boyfriend and I ordered four sliders each (#sorrynotsorry) and each got a cocktail. The restaurant itself is pretty low key, like a spruced up dive bar. Hands down my favorite slider is the Korean (kimche and peanut butter!), but they're all great. Despite the packed restaurant, all the staff we dealt with were very friendly and accommodating. Go there. Just go. If youre considering it, the answer is yes.

  • Bradleigh M.

    I love the Green Dot, this is one of my places. First off it is nice to find a place to eat that is affordable. I tend to stick to what I like, so I always get the lamb slider, the regular cheese burger one, or the one with chicken and bacon on it. I have had lamb sliders at public house and emory in ferndale as well and I like the green dots better. plus its cheaper. I also like the green dots cheese burger slider better than public house. The cocktails are $3 too! Those are nothing to rave about but their not bad. I wish it was easier to get a table on a thurs, fri, or saturday night. But overall, I love this place.

  • Jesse M.

    As close to perfection as it gets. This place absolutely nails the idea of a bar/restaurant. The wait is always over an hour and I simply don't care. The food is worth the wait. The drinks are good and cheap. The waiting area is an outdoor patio with a bar. Every slider is worth trying. I come here often and never walk out without a smile on my face. So now for the minor imperfections. The place is in a bad area. There is a risk of your car getting broken into day or night. So be smart about where you park and what you leave in your car. There's not much they can do to correct this. To be honest, I think the rough locale adds to its charm. The other issue is that the servers refuse to give separate checks. This one is a little more annoying because I always go with a large party and we always want to pay separate. I'm not sure why they adamantly refuse to provide a simple convenience, but I recommend bringing cash to make it easier.

    I need to go here more to try all of the sliders and not just stick to what I enjoy. I really wanted to give Green Dot five stars because I enjoy coming here so much but they seem a little disorganized in their service. The wait is one thing, but when you've been sitting down for 10 minutes and the couple that gets seated next to you gets their food first something just isn't adding up. The staff is generally friendly and knowledgeable so it does make up for it a bit. The food is fantastic. A lot of people write about the flavors and I think that's what really captures the essence that is Green Dot Stables. All dishes have their own uniqueness to them and no two are alike. I haven't too many but I will say the Fried Chicken is one to get as a first timer, for sure. I recently had the quinoa one and it was pretty bland so I wouldn't recommend that but the others are worth a try. I've had the poutine and truffle and herb fries, both are great and I've also had the Chicken Paprikas soup which is one of my favorites. The drinks are such a steal, between $3 and $4 and I always like the selections they have on tap. No matter what you enjoy you can always find something to fit your taste or mood.

    UMMMMM THIS PLACE CAN DO NO WRONG! besides the fact that Every Time my friends and I go, we have to uber back because their house drinks are just that good. Not too mention their weekly specials are so FRICKIN fun as well as the venison chili fries and the fried chicken slider always being on point. I recommend even coming here after work just to drink on the patio in the summer time

    Great food and great atmosphere. I've only been on Sunday's and they're typically very busy. That said, the service is what you would expect speed wise but very good at keeping you up to date on your order and doing what they can to make the wait as pleasant as they can.

    This is one of those line-out-the-door places. But trust me, your wait will be worth it. We arrived a few minutes after opening and sat at one of the last available tables. Not long after we ordered our drinks, a line began to build at the door. The location is a bit odd, but the green roof and signage helped. I love the menu here, and I love the prices even more. I don't think anything was more than $4. At the end of our meal, sure we still ended up spending $40-50, but the small portions and small prices make it easy to try a little bit of everything. The Gin Promise, a gin cocktail with strawberry, was my favorite cocktail. I could've sucked these down by the pitcher! The drinks aren't super strong, but what do you expect for $4? We ordered several sliders - they suggest 3 per person. The Cuban and the fried chicken were phenomenal. The chicken was a massive, fried beast that was bigger than the bun! Those truffle fries are to die for. They are skinny and crisp, almost like Jay's potato sticks. Truffle may be passé to the snobs of Planet Foodie, but who gives a damn if it tastes good? I only regret not ordering a second plate of these! Last but not least, there's dessert. There are only two menu offerings, but since a s'mores slider was an option (and they will add bacon), I was happy that there wasn't more to choose from. It was a satisfying, gooey way to end our meal.

    Amazing. Everything is between $2-$3, even the craft beer and cocktails. Great service, too! The wait for the food is a little long, but totally worth it. We also went on a very busy night & it's a small place. Don't let this deter you. Still go. I got the quinoa burger, cheeseburger, fried chicken slider, and Cajun fries. Loved it all. The fried chicken slider had a delicious honey sauce. I can't wait to go again!

  • Ko M.

    When his place opened, I absolutely loved it. Recently it seems that the sliders are smaller, more expensive. It used to be my favorite neighborhood place to eat but now it's overrun by suburbanites, tigers fans, etc. I'm glad that their business has grown but bummed that I can't get a table anymore without a long wait. Food is still good, love the poutine!

    Where do I start? Fits off, this is definitely a hidden jewel in Detroit. Off the path from downtown but only 5-6 minutes from it. When you pull up you get thrown off a bit. The parking is pretty secure and well lit at night. It seems like whatever time you get here the place is busy. Order all types of burgers. 2 won't cut it. So good you almost feel like ordering over and over. The Cajun and truffle and herb fries rock. Ordered everything from black bean burgers to philly steak and cheese burgers. Order the cucumber salad to start with. A must try when in Detroit!

    Green Dot was packed when my coworkers and I arrived for dinner around 7pm on a Wednesday night. We sat out on the patio benches for about a half hour before our table was ready, and then (most of) our food took about 45 minutes to arrive as well. I was about ready to start chomping down on the napkin by the time my food came, but that would have been unprofessional and bad for the digestive tract. I can see why Green Dot is popular, it has a delightful Irish pub ambience and a really cool concept - burger (well, slider) tapas - that is pretty unique (at least in my experience). However, the food to me just didn't live up to its potential. I ordered three sliders (BBQ Bacon, Philly Cheesesteak, and Korean) and a side of Mac & Cheese. My coworkers each ordered three sliders as well, though I did not memorize their selections. The cucumber salad (really more like sliced cucumbers with dip) that one of them ordered came a good 20 minutes before the rest of our food. The cream-cheesy dip it came with smelled delicious, and my coworker really liked that dish a lot. Their favorite slider was the mystery meat of the day, which on that day was bison. I guess I should have ordered that one. Of my food, I have to say none of the selections really wowed me, but my favorite of them was the Korean. It was the most interesting combination (burger, peanut butter, kimchi), though not really up to the amazing fusion of flavor that I've had with other Asian fusion burgers in the past. The BBQ Bacon was pretty standard. Nothing wrong with it, nothing memorable either. I did not care for the philly cheesesteak slider at all. The meat was not good quality, and the cheese pretty dire. The mac and cheese appetizer was clearly freshly made and better quality than the burgers, but the mix of cheeses was lacking some "oomph". It was a very mild flavor that could have been much better if a small amount of a sharper cheese were in the mix. The staff was all very friendly and despite service being a bit slow I have no complaints about it. They were quite busy so that might account for the slowness. Anyway, the place does have charm and I'd certainly be willing to come back, but more just as a fun place to hang out and have a pint than to be wowed by the food.

    Ehhhhh....after hearing so much HYPE about this place I found myself there on a Friday night. WORST MISTAKE ever, waited about 2 hours to find myself so starved I devoured my meal in 15 minutes and left within 30 minutes. Sliders: They were 'okay', had the cuban, korean and a PB&J the waiter suggested I add bacon too. Poutine fries (MY FAVORITE). i do not think I will find myself back here again for dinner but perhaps after a long night of drinking because thats what it is mid grade bar food.

    I find my self going to Green Dot Stables whenever I am headed downtown. For me it has been a great spot to grab a bit to eat, before or after, a show. I've been really lucky with not having to wait long to be seated, it always seems busy, but they have fast and efficient service. If you like experimenting with your taste buds, i think you will enjoy this place. Order a couple sliders, have your friend order some different ones, and then just have fun opening yourself up to something different. Some of my favorite sliders: Corned Beef Buffalo Chicken Coney Black Bean BCT Even if you are full, order the S'more Slider. You will leave happy.

    "Where are the horses?" The only drawback to Green Dot Stables is the lack of a pair of frisky ponies frolicking around out back, and a horse from the Detroit Police tied to a hitching post. Kick up your heels and trot across downtown to this forgotten corner for some of the best sliders found anywhere. For the guest put off by stories of blight, know the open parking lot is perfectly safe and the open spaces look for better days, but hardly teem with ne'er-do-wells waiting to jump out. Inside is a wood-panelled oasis punctuated by a few large central tables and low booths. Forget the cavernous, shadowy booths that swallow up a man. Guests dining together can actually see one another. High chairs position everyone around tables at a level to enjoy a conversation. Well-placed televisions broadcast stages of the Tour de France while I and my officemates went for a team lunch. We admired a Belgian-heavy collection of beers behind the bar while waiting on our food. Green Dot takes a deceptively simple concept and bases their menu around the premise. But these aren't White Castle sliders or the mini-burgers Dad threw together at weekend barbecues over the summer. A wide variety appeals to the traditionalist who wants catfish on a bun or a cheeseburger of some kind to the gourmand, like me, who delights in pairing the unexpected for a gustatory kick. Both styles of diner will be pleased. Simple combinations come lavishly topped in artisanal cheeses or crisp, fresh veggies, served up in a paper tray like hot dogs at Comerica Park. No overpriced, overcooked dawg ever came with robust mustard, sweet and crisped pork loin, and snappy peppers like the biting Cuban. At $3 on average for a slider, expect a good meal to balance at three sliders and a side split between friends. Between nine people, the verdicts came in for at least three-quarters of the menu we tried at a sitting. Find your own favourite, but unanimous victory went to the "Hot Brown" -- a confectionary of chicken and thick bacon swirled in a cheesy mornay sauce. Are you thinking of a bechamel with shaved cheese? You should be. The Korean scores as an unexpected, creative pairing of kimchee with peanut butter on a beef burger. I see your uncertainty. Trust me and order it, though put in a special request for extra peanut butter. I added a jolt of sriracha for a near divine experience. Mystery Meat changes regularly and I confess the lambneck on my last encounter was too bland and a bit gamey to really enjoy. Chicken and syrup is another standout among my crew. Got room for more? The sliced cucumbers come brined and well-crisped, but the real magic isn't the individually portioned salads or even the chili fries. No, trust in my Canadian heritage and go with the poutine, eh? I know poutine. Green Dot does the best I've had in the Midwest, outshining even Wisconsin joints. On a hot summer day, we salivated over the cheese curds and meaty gravy spilled over narrow straw fries. Sharing will be essential. Yes, the seating is tight and the crowds plentiful. What do you expect with food quality, fine drinks, and tiptop service assuring the experience is one to remember? Detroit needs hotbeds of culinary innovation that attract tourist dollars and local support in spades, and the likes of Green Dot Stables -- like Roast, in a higher price bracket -- serve as pioneers in the region. I can't say enough good things for them. And at $3 to hit or miss, you can't go wrong.

    I don't know what all the hype is. Sliders are OK at best. Tried this place twice, thinking my first time was just a bad day. The first time I tried green dot was with my brother. We got about 12 sliders for the 2 of us. For some reason they brought out one slider by itself like 10 minutes before the rest of the order. At one point I had to ask where the rest of my order was. The waiter told me that everything is made fresh so it takes some time. When we finally got the food everything was cold. NOT SO FRESH!!! my brother and I started eating and about half way through our meal my brother almost jumped out of his seat in pain. He was eating the Philly steak slider and got an extremely sharp bone that was the size of a large tooth. We showed it to the waitress and she took the slider off the bill and gave us 3 coupons for complimentary sliders for our next visit. The waitress handled the situation and for that reason they are getting 2 stars instead of one. So a couple weeks later I decided to give it another shot. They were not as busy this time and the food didn't take as long. BUT, I would not say the food was any better. Still a solid OK. When I asked for the bill and tried paying with my complimentary coupons the waitress said i can only use 1. No where on the coupon did it have a limit. At this point I was fed up and gave her 1 coupon and then gave my friend the other 2 and said he can use them if he ever came back because I will never be going back. 2 horrible experiences for over priced, over hyped food. Do yourself a favor and get a burger from somewhere else like millers bar, Mercury bar, or redcoat tavern.

    This place is always happening I love it. They have screens to watch the World Cup, which was fun. Huge selection of alcohol. Their small plates are delicious. I loved their burgers and Poutine. I'm always guaranteed a good time here.

    I went here with my sister while I was visiting home and was super excited about it as I'd heard a bunch about it from her and from other friends. The inside was a little dark and divey and I loved it. Living in NYC where highly priced everything is the norm, I was still was blown away by how cheap everything was. Great beers on tap, good cocktails - all for $3. Say whaaaa? My sister and I ordered 6 sliders to share along with truffle and Cajun fries, again, all extremely cheap in my book. The black bean and mystery meat (alligator) where my least favorites, with the fried chicken and Cuban being the stars of the experience... And the truffle fries. Must get the truffle fries. Over all it was a very good experience. Service could have been a bit better, but when all was said and done, I enjoyed myself immensely.

    Delicious. I recommend the Korean. It is so delicious. You would never expect a slider with peanut butter to be good but omg it's a must!

  • Shrina S.

    We came across this little place as my friend was taking me on a tour of Detroit, and she had heard so much good stuff about it that she said we just HAD to stop and check it out! We had to wait for ~20 minutes and stood outside just chilling and overlooking the bridge to Canada across the restaurant. We were finally seated inside and decided to order a bunch of little stuff since it was getting close to dinner time and this was more of a pre-dinner. We ordered the: quinoa slider, black bean slider, and the grilled cheese slider, as well as some truffle & herb fries. The food did take a while to come, but once it did we were super excited to try all of the sliders. My favorite was the black bean, then the quinoa, and lastly the grilled cheese because it was a plain ol' grilled cheese. The fries were also delicious and super truffle-y! Would I come back? Most def!

    Green Dot is a good restaurant to the slightly empty area south of Corktown. It's a sliders type of place, so you end up ordering a number of different sliders to make up your meal. As a vegan, I enjoy some of their menu. They have a black bean burger (without the sauce), tempeh burger (without the sauce), peanut butter and jelly, fries, and a number of salads that I enjoy. Usually, I'll get the tempeh burger, truffle fries, and kale salad for a meal, which usually fills me up. The truffle fries are delicious and I highly recommend them. One thing that's great about Green Dot are the drink prices. You can get cocktails and good beer for $3 (albeit small), but not really something you can find at many other establishments. I wish it were a little bigger inside or that they offered outdoor seating, but oh well. You really have to know when to go- Friday and Saturday nights are busy and you may have to wait for up to an hour for a table. But if you go during the week on a non-sports game night, you should be fine. Overall, I wish they had a few more vegan options on the menu and I wish their place was a bit bigger. Not to mention, I'm not a huge fan of the theme of the restaurant, but that's a different story all together. It's definitely something to try out at least once, but if there's a long wait when you go, there are definitely better places to check out instead.

    2.5 stars. I was not very impressed with Green Dot Stables. My friend and I have a bucket list of Detroit restaurants we want to try and this was on the top of our list. We were so excited to try this place because we both heard great things about it. The atmosphere is dark and gloomy which doesn't bother me. We waited about 20 minutes for a table in their waiting area. Once we sat down, we ordered right away because we had tickets to the wings game. Our server was nice but the food took forever. From the time we ordered to actually getting our sliders it was 45 minutes. It was crowded but it shouldn't be that long of a wait for sliders in my opinion. The service/waiting aside, my friend and I were not impressed with the food. We each got different sliders; my favorite was probably the tempeh with seaweed salad. I also ordered the kimchi with peanut butter to be adventurous plus I have heard this wacky combo is actually pretty good. I couldn't even finish it.. I will not blame green dots for this, it just isn't my cup of tea. Overall, the sliders were so so, but definitely not worth the wait. Both my friend and I much prefer Public House in Ferndale for sliders.

    This is my all time favorite Detroit eatery. Ok. If I'm being honest, it's my all time universe favorite eatery. Drinks, sliders, truffle fries, oh my! Not to mention, the staff here, well, damn it, they're fabulous. You will not go wrong coming here. If there is a wait, it's totally worth it. Or you can cheat like us and come right before they close during the week.

    I'm somewhat torn as to where to rate this place. Price considered, I'd give it a 5 star all day, price aside, it's good, but it's not as amazing as others make it out to be. They nailed it on two things I tried, and failed miserably on the other two. That'd average a 2.5/3.0, but pretty much everything here is $3, even their cocktails, and there are some great things on the menu, so I bumped it up a star. The Manhattan clam chowder was excellent. Good job! The "special" poutine of the month is a Vermont poutine, which was amazing Poutine, but their fries are garbage. The fries are super small and over cooked. They're far too crispy. You can't even eat them with a fork. They break when you try to stab them. I'd give the poutine a 10 and the fries a 2. They taste like those "shoestring" potatoes out of a can. The corned beef was good, but it was a little short on meet. Definitely good quality though. AMAZING sour kraut, and really good mustard. However, the Phili cheese steak wasn't very good. In fact, it more or less sucked. It was doused with gobs of cheese, which generally sounds like a good thing, but this was just straight up, over cooked, Cheese Wiz. The cheese wiz was very thick and didn't taste very well. I literally scraped 1/2 the cheese off of the sandwich and there was still too much. I couldn't even eat the bun. I just ate what little meat I could and the bottom 1/2. Now, if you keep up with my reviews, you'll say I'm a hypocrite. I've complained that other places don't use an authentic cheese wiz based sauce and use hard cheese, or some crappy alternative instead (nacho cheese). My issue is this: the cheese on a Phili Cheese steak should be thinned out cheese wiz, with some flavor in it (onion, beef juice, whatever). It shouldn't taste like you opened the jar and gobbed the crap on there, and there shouldn't be more cheese than meat, ever. The meat to cheese ratio on my sandwich was a solid 3-1 in favor of cheese. If I wanted a cheese sandwich, I would have ordered one. In terms of service, the food took forever and the bartenders kind of sucked too. They definitely had an arrogance about them, and they didn't seem to concerned with making sure the customers were happy. She kept telling everyone "sorry the kitchen just got slammed and was backed up," for over an hour after the crowd died down to nothing. On top of that, she wasn't pleasant or helpful in keeping drinks full. I'd give their performance a 4 out 10. I was there Sunday August 17th, around 3:30pm if managers want to address the issue.

    I love this place! I ordered a hamburger and it was so juicy and delicious. We also ordered the Nutella and nutter butter dessert and they were so yummy! Just the right amount of sweetness. Can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu.

    Sliders, beer, and a side of hipsters. Let's start with the silders... despite all the great choices, don't overlook the standard cheeseburger slider. 3 sliders is about the right amount of food and gives you a chance to try a few things. PB&J is surprisingly good. The mystery meat is always something exotic and yummy. With most menu items at $2 or $3, it's no surprise that this place is always packed. Have your entire group with you, put your name in, grab a beer and admire all the beards while you wait for your table. Great beer list, by the way, including a bunch of Michigan brews.

    We came here because the word "vegan" appears a few times on the menu. I had their vegan mushroom soup (4 star), kale salad (3 star), and cajun fries (4 star). Everything is priced under 5 dollars (including drinks) and the portions are small, making this sorta like a tapas bar. We placed our order and were told we could order more later if we were still hungry. Unfortunately, the kitchen was completely overwhelmed and it took an hour to get the first round of food to the table. Most of us took off after that for another appointment, but we left a couple people behind who said it took another half an hour for round #2. And this was on a day the waitress called "slow". Hate to be here when they are busy.

    I went to this restaurant with a friend who was visiting the area. I'm new to the area, so I was not sure what to expect. To start off, there is a decent size parking lot right outside the restaurant which is very nice. After parking, we walked into the restaurant and it was very crowded. It had the feel of a bar. We waited for a table at the bar, and were seated within 15 minutes. While waiting, we each ordered a drink. To be honest the drinks were not very good, but the price was amazing, $3 per drink. For the price, the drinks were worth it, but not stellar. The food, was a different story. We ordered some fries, kale salad, hummus, and tons of sliders. The prices were super cheap, and all the food was excellent. I LOVED the hummus, and the kale salad. The sliders were tasty as well. I thought, ignorantly that the PB&J included a burger, but it did not, so that one was fine, but just a pbJ. Otherwise, I'm very excited to come back and try some different sliders. Also, our waitress was helpful, offering us some good recommendations, and quick to bring food and refill drinks. I will definitely come back soon with my husband!

    Watch out, this place can get packed quickly even on a lazy Monday lunch time. If you arrive at or before 11:30am you will be solid though. I am interning at Ford over the summer so checking out the best of what Detroit has to offer is a priority and going here was one of the top on my list. I was not disappointed. The place offers incredible value - On the beer front domestics are $2 and microbrews $3. A better deal than the majority of places out there. - Their sliders are all $3 and have excellent variety my favorites were the fried chicken and maple, Korean, PBJ and mystery meat which happened to be sausage that day. Cool unique concept that's affordable. I'll get some more of my co-workers to join me back here soon.

    This is the way to open a restaurant. Have a cozy atmosphere, add a list of mouthwatering sliders and fries, and keep everything under $5. They also have bike parking!

  • A L.

    OUTSTANDING. Further proof that simple food is the best food. The sliders are uncomplicated, but truly inspired flavor combinations. Things you wouldn't expect, like a beef patty topped with kimchi and peanut butter, are delicious. The fries are thin and crispy. Decent beer selection. Huge patio. Quirky, eclectic place. There is always a wait, but it's well worth it.

    I would have given this place full stars two years ago. Now the wait for a table is absurdly long and sometimes your food order takes even longer. Sliders are tiny but good, special slider is usually a winner. They add up fa$t. Service is usually good but when a place gets this packed there will be bumps in the road. For example my meal took nearly an hour after I ordered and the fries were cold. But the drinks are cheap and bar seating is easier if you can put up with the flair-tender.

  • Lydia R.

    This is really such a cute place, though it's small so it get very crowded. The best part is that they sell the sliders individually so that you can try a bunch of different ones, without breaking the bank. I order the buffalo chicken one and a gyro one and they were both really good. The only downside is that being that it was so busy the service took forever! Sliders ultimately aren't that big but it still took my group of 3 at least 30 minutes after ordering to get our food and about 15 minutes to get our drinks. Hire a few more wait staff or cooks for the rush periods and this place would be perfect

  • Nicole M.

    I've been here a few times and I definitely prefer it as a lunch spot just because the portion size and wait time at dinner. The portions are small which is actually great because they are also only $3 a slider so that you can try a bunch of different things. They always have specials with obscure meats. They are worth trying though because they seriously turn out some unique sliders. The fries are also killer. They have a chill cheese fry with venison chili that my boyfriend gets every time we go! I prefer the garlic and herb fries, but you can't go wrong either way. I also really dig their drinks which are also only around $3. I seriously would go there just for the Zug Island Iced Tea. I could drink those all night! All around great spot if you are looking for a good date spot or a place to go with your family.

    One of my favorite casual spots in the D. Reasonable prices, the sliders are unique and delicious, cool atmosphere. Beware, they get really busy during dinner and lunch. My favorites are the BCT, the Philly and the Korean sliders. I love their poutine as well. I look forward to eating here each time and haven't been disappointed yet!

    Fantastic service, atmosphere and food! We had about 7 different sliders, and today I learned that llama is actually delicious (once you get over the thought of taking down an adorable fuzzy animal). The cheeseburger sliders are surprisingly some of the best cheeseburgers I've ever eaten and you can't beat the drink and food prices (averaging $3 a piece). I will definitely be coming back on my next trip to Detroit, thanks for the great experience!

    I'm sure whatever I say here has already been said. With over 500 reviews, I'm sure this one will blend into the mix, but I felt compelled to write this review after coming here on Saturday. The place has great aesthetics. And by aesthetics, I mean cheap beer and food. Seriously though, there's something hip/divey/country all wrapped up into this place. Craft beers are $3/bottle. Domestics are $2/bottle. You honestly can't beat that. Everything on the menu is pretty much $2 or $3. I highly suggest over-ordering because you're just going to end up eating your food and sitting there wondering how delicious everything else is on the menu. The truffle herb fries. Words will not do them justice. Just order them. I could sit here and go through the things I ordered one by one and explain them as if I actually know what I'm talking about, but I won't do that. I'll tell you what I ordered - the cuban, the hot brown (or whatever it's called), the chicken sandwich, the PBJ, and the grilled cheese. Everything was phenomenal. I absolutely cannot wait to go back. Don't go here if you're in a rush. Enjoy the fact that you get to tip a few back while you wait for a table. Not sure how this place operates in the winter, but I thought the ability to sit out at the picnic tables in the nice weather was a huge bonus.

    This place is great whether you are looking for a small bite to go with a beverage or a full on meal. 2-3 sliders & a side was a good size meal without stuffing yourself. I tried the Korean, chicken & mystery meat slider with a side of fries. The Korean was my favorite, the peanut butter balanced well with the kimchi. The drinks & good are fabulously priced, everything (with the exception of some spirits) is under $3!! I personally like to try a variety of items when I go out to eat so the sliders were perfect. I also appreciated that you could get a cocktail for $3 without breaking the bank. The place was full on a Tuesday and had a laid back, no frills feel about it. The service was fine & friendly. Definitely would go back!

  • Chris J.

    Not sure what I can say that others haven't already so I'll be brief. Sliders are very interesting and all are worth trying. The mac n cheese is delicious. Salads and soups are wonderful. Drinks are cheap. The staff is usually pretty friendly. Service can be a bit slow at times which is the only reason it's not a five-star; if they're busy, be ready to wait a while. Other than that, this place is great!

    This place has a hipster ambiance. Come with horn glasses and a plaid V neck if you don't want to feel out of place. It gets very busy and the wait can be long on weekends, but there are nice beers on tap and friendly bartenders who will pour those beers for you. The food is nothing spectacular. The concept of having sliders and slider-sized dishes is great, because it allows a meal to consist of more than just one thing; the execution, however, is lacking. I'm not saying the food is bad, it's just... meh. Maybe I'm not hipster enough to appreciate mediocrity. Quinoa burger: the kale chimicurri ruined it. It tastes like freshly mowed lawn. Korean: adding a slice of kimchi to a burger does not make it Korean. Buffalo chicken: good, but the texture of the chicken varies Gyro: get this! Manhattan clam chowder: I would rate more highly if I weren't from NY. I do not regret going there, but this is not my #1 choice for a place to eat in the neighborhood.

  • Nicole W.

    I loved this place. I had heard great things, and decided to take an out-of-town friend with me to try it out. What looked like a moderately sketchy building on a quite empty street held Detroit's best keep secret! The place was bustling. The mood lighting, decor, and friendliness of the staff made for a great environment to catch up with a friend. When seeing that everything on the menu (except for a few drinks) is under $3, we went crazy and ordered 5 sliders, french fries, 4 drinks, and cheesecake for dessert. All of the sliders were delicious, the cocktails weren't half bad, and knowing that I wasn't breaking the bank made the whole experience better. In the future, I'd like to try some of the more exotic sliders - we stuck to the basics life buffalo chicken, black bean, and philly cheesesteak.

  • Debbie Z.

    Green Dot Stables was alright. They have all kind of sliders. They were quite busy, but there was a table available for me and a friend. It took quite a while for the waiter to come to our table for our order. Sliders - what kind of slider you like they probably have that and more. Usually each slider is $3 - so you can try a few. I ordered 2 and they were good, I wasn't a big fan though. Didn't get sick like White Castle sliders!!!! So, that is good. Inside is nice - but you can see where at one time or another it was a stable. Wine was $3 a glass - which is always good. Would I go back? Yes - it was a good experience. I don't know if I could find it on my own, but I could use the GPS I guess!!!

  • Nick M.

    Folks, there are certain places you go in your life, at a certain time with certain people, that stick with you forever. For various reasons, this was that place for me. It had been six months with my girlfriend, on the exact day, and I drove her to a secret, remote destination. She had heard about Green Dot and said she really wanted to try it, but she didn't know where we were going that day. As I drove on 696 West, she figured we were going to Royal Oak or Ferndale. Then I hopped on 75 South and she got a little more giddy, wondering where we could be. When it looked like we were going to the middle of nowhere, she saw a green building. Then she saw the sign. She was happy, as was I. The place has a feel about it even before you walk in. There are picnic tables outside where people can eat and drink, the parking lot is adequate (or you can park on Lafayette), and the sign has an old-school feel. Inside, it's just a melting pot of patrons. You have your business people, hipsters, families with young children, couples, groups, etc etc. It's cool and represents, in my mind, what Detroit is really about at its core. The place isn't huge inside, but it's got soul. There are booths, tables, a long bar that loops around. It's a real homey feel, like you are eating and drinking in a log cabin up north. OK, on to the nitty gritty: the food and drinks. Most things are $3 -- the sliders, the salads, the fries, the beers (Bell's, Kuhnhenn's and Short's beers on draft), mixed drinks. Some more expensive liquors are $4 or $5 but it's still not bad. The G/F got the Kuhnhenn Fluffer while I got the City Red IPA, which I loved. We started out with "appetizers" of truffle and herb fries, venison chili cheese fries and a loaded baked potato salad. The baked potato salad was amazing -- bacon, scallions, cheese, sour cream, potatoes like you'd see in Taco Bell's fiesta potato but bigger. Then we just went on a tear through the menu. I ordered five sliders -- BBQ Bacon, Philly Cheesesteak, Buffalo Chicken, Gyro and the Mystery Meat. The mystery meat was kangaroo, and it was finger-lickin' good. I apologized to the various groups of animals I ate that meal (not really). It was really damn good, all of it. (Favorites were the kangaroo and buffalo chicken.) The G/F had the quinoa burger and mac and cheese and highly enjoyed them. She thought the mac was so nice she got it twice! The food comes in these brown, cardboard boxes you'd see at a carnival or something. Portion sizes look small, but when you're eating them you realize that it is mighty filling. It was funny watching all of our boxes stack up. We ordered a lot! Our server was Samantha and she was GREAT! One of the best servers I have ever had ... she explained all the different kinds of foods, good vegetarian options, what is popular, and so on. She was really nice and I gave her a tip she deserved. After hearing about this place, I finally know what the hype is about. Cheap prices and great food at a cool establishment, it is instantly one of my favorite places I have ever eaten. It was intended to be a great night with the lady and our expectations were surpassed. This place is b-e-a-utiful.

    A favorite destination in Detroit. Off the beaten path, a great place to hang out without legions of sports fans during game day. The sliders are always very tasty. The fries cooked perfect, and I love the cucumbers with creme fraiche - great flavor. The cocktail are always on point, beer always new and fresh. And the best part - outrageously inexpensive!

    Wow. When I first pulled up, I got nervous. I mean, I love my yelp, but this looked extra sketch. I had a little trouble finding the entrance,and this gave my nerves extra time to second guess my decision, but I powered through... The rest is the stuff of an epic. Fantastic prices, for world class food and the beers are downright cheap. I'm in, I'm all in.

  • Keristyn H.

    Decent vegetarian options... But I wasn't overly impressed because of the TINY portions that I was given. You must order at least 4 sliders and a side to feel anywhere close to full. Great place to snack, bad place for a meal.

  • Albert K.

    A true gem. I found this place by trolling yelp for new places to try and I was not disappointed. Despite the remote, semi-sketchy location, they place is worth the trip. Cheap craft beer, great gourmet sliders and tasty sides. Personal favorites are the Korean (pb and kimchee go together surprisingly well) and the Hot Brown. Also, the mac and cheese is no frills, but tasty as hell. If you go, expect their to be wait, but that is where the cheap beer and wine come in handy. Also, the crowd that goes there is very eclectic, so the people watching is top notch. Highly recommended.

    Drinks were delicious. Prices are amazing. Food was fantastic and even though they were very busy, wait wasn't too bad. Hostess was really friendly and cool. But service was horrible. We've been here for over and hour and she's only been by once since taking our original order. My friend has wanted a second drink for the last twenty minutes. Very disappointing considering the amount of staff I see on the floor. I serve for a living. Checking on your tables more than once in an hour isn't hard. 6/28/15 - arrived at 7p

    the location, the crowd, the service ...authentically cool. I would hang out at this place at least once a week, and I almost wish there was a place like this in my neck of the woods. the 2 star rating is for the food. while the menu concepts are terrific, the quality and flavor doesn't even get ranked compared to the better gastropubs that are in other cities. ...but I will be back for the drinks the next time I'm in town.

    We went around 2pm on a Monday and got the last table! Yeah, no wait. The wait staff of two were running their butts off but they didn't slight anyone and went over the menu for the first timers. I appreciated that and they made great suggestions. The food was really good with intriguing combinations of flavors on the sliders. The drink menu was well priced $3.00, but I was driving. Most of the menu is priced at $3.00 and it adds up very quickly. Two adults, ice teas, 6 sliders, poutine fries, anti-pasta, clam chowder was around $33.oo. My disappointment was on the teeny portion size of everything for the price. I would hope that they would consider offering a non slider size in the future and adult size side portions. Would I make a special trip again? No, but since I work downtown I would come and have drinks. The crowd is eclectic from seniors (loud and drink, lol) to hipsters. Well worth a one time visit but felt a little cheated.

  • Nick T.

    Pros: The food was tasty and had a good variety. Great flavors and vegetarian friendly for those that are. Cons: Waited an hour to sit when there wasn't an amount of people in front of us to warrant it taking that long, bought a couple of beers at the bar while we waited and then was told they have a $10 minimum with cards. It would've been fine but when we finally ate our food we couldn't combine our bar tab and dinner tabs... So I had to buy more at the bar to simply cash out so I could pay for dinner. At $3 a beer, you have to apparently get hammered if you want to use a modern form of payment. Great food, but won't go back simply because of the way they handle paying; sadly more hassle than it was worth...

    Cute little place for a tourist to visit or even local folks! While the wait is usually 45 minutes we enjoyed the covered porch type area with plenty of room to sit. Not a great place for a big crowd. Food was small so you must order atleast three items, ( only $3). Try an assortment that's the fun of it !

    I love this place. I used to complain about the wait here, but tonight completely converted me once a for all. Love. This. Place. Came in late on a busy Saturday night with my little nephew cause he wanted to try Green Dot. The wait was long as usual, but Glen, the host saw my concern for my nephew being out so late and seated us almost immediately! It was so nice of him i promised a shout out. thanks Glen!

    Here is the lowdown on my 4 visits to Green Dot in Detroit and sliders I have tasted. The inside can get crowded like other reviews have mentioned, but also the parking lot can get totally full too : ( Fair price for drinks and the standard fully stock bar. Ham & Cheese - good Cuban - good Corned Beef - good Philly Cheesesteak - bad Mystery Meat - ok (it was different each visit) BCT - great (bacon-cucumber-roasted tomato-mayo) Fried Chicken - bad Grilled Cheese - good Fried Bologna - good after a good buzz from some drinks : ) PB&J - nothing special, skip it Poutin French Fries - skip these too Overall - Thumbs Up - worth the visit : )

    I FINALLY got to experience the amazingness that is Green Dot Stables. As a Detroit native, now living in Chicago, I have been very excited to hear that Detroit had been evolving it's foodie scene. I'll start by saying that GDS opens at 11, I arrived around 11:45 and it was already packed with hungry people (sign 1. that it was going to be great). My bf and I decided to sit at the bar to avoid that wait. Right away we we're greeted and helped with. Our bartender told us what was popular, and also have suggestions based off his favorites. At the end we got the following: truffle fries, Hot Brown, gyro, Cuban, Korean, fried chicken, and the mystery meat. My favorite hands down was the mystery meat, which was bacon wrapped rabbit, with parsnips and chipotle mayo (yummmmmmm! I wanted to order like 5 more of these. the chipotle mayo was surprisingly packed with heat and had a garlicky taste. ). In regards to the regular sliders, all of them we're tasty, but if I had to make recommendations is say the Korean, and fried chicken. yum yum yum. Aside from the food I also had a few of the cocktails. Moscow mule, and another one with scotch, triple sec and raspberry lemonade (I don't remember the name). Anyways it was tasty, if you want something sweet you'll like that. After eating our food at lightening speeds, our bill came and it was only $31! I will definitely come back when I visit. Thanks for not letting me down GDS, you're one example of Detroit making a come back.

  • Eileen A.

    This place is a bit off the beatin path but well worth it! I think no item on the menu is over $4.00! They serve mini sized items such as sliders, fries, veggies..... You get the point. we ordered venison fries, Cajun fries, Philly cheese, corn beef, mystery meat-ostrich, hot Betty-which is chicken, bacon & cheese, 2 drinks. Everything was absolutely delicious! The only thing I didn't like was the mustard on the corn beef. Cause I'm a true Michigander I always want yellow mustard on my corn beef not spicy brown. This place reminds you of an old saloon. Even though it was pretty crowded we found a seat at the bar quickly. The lady taking names was kinda of forceful with her saying she must have been using all night "You can go out back I'll come get you when your table is ready." I never went wish I would've so I could tell ya all about it but food & tequila was more important! Sorry Just a warning $3 & $4 can add up quickly!

  • Patrick T.

    This place is so awesome. $3 cocktails which are all really nice. First time I tried a Moscow mule yummy!! The sliders are all great. Always always try the mystery meat -- it was rabbit when I had it. Also had a Kim chi burger which is what you'd expect. Fried chicken burger was nice and had some maple syrup on the bottom, score! Bacon cheese slider was okay. Gosh I ate a lot of sliders. Anyway, come here and enjoy!!!! The wait for the bar was easy.

  • Nikki T.

    A smorgasbord of sliders! So many choices! I finally made it to Green Dot Stables for lunch with one of my friends. This is not your average slider joint. This place has so many unique choices it was hard to choose...which means...I'll be back to finish trying everyone on the menu. We opted for two orders of venison chili cheese fries because once we had a few fries; we realized that one order was not enough for two people. Get your own order of venison chili cheese fries! I opted for the catfish, Philly cheesesteak and cheeseburger sliders. My buddy ordered the BBQ bacon, buffalo chicken and cheeseburger sliders. Everything was delicious!

    I've heard about this hidden gem a lot since moving back to Detroit through Yelp, and I've had it on my radar for some time now. Being that the weather's getting nicer, I'm getting around to trying more out of the way spots and this was on my short list. I came here last night with my date, and boy, am I glad I did! We both had a really good time! Place is easy to find, and it was already busy at 6PM on a Saturday night. I think it's always busy, (from what I could tell) and very popular. There must have been a Tigers game earlier, so factor that in as well, with a lot of the run off crowd eating off the booze that they had at the game. Date and I entered and didn't see a line, but we weren't sure if we were supposed to wait to be seated or just hang out. A host came up to us and took our name within seconds, despite the place being busy as all get out. He said that there was a 45 minute wait and directed us to the outdoor patio where we could sit and drink while we wait. We went outside and hung out while we waited for our name to be called. Here's where I deduct a star. let me explain. So, being that it was early in the evening, I didn't want to start washing down beer quite yet, and I was a bit parched and had an empty stomach. I wanted water, and while my date went with a beer, I asked the bartender for water. He said he didn't have any, and directed me to the igloo cooler at the end of the bar. seriously? No water? I have to get it from the servers inside who are overwhelmed with a zillon patrons? C'mon! You can't at least sell me bottled water for a dollar? Oh, and it's cash only as well. I can live with cash only but NO WATER? The bartender was extremely nice and accommodating. It took 3 of us to get more water out of the cooler, but it worked in the end. I know this sounds overly critical, but I've never been to such a popular place where I can't get water or pop at the bar. Anyways, after a wait, we finally got seated. Our server was awesome! He was hilarious, knowledgeable and made the experience awesome. We asked what the mystery meat was, but decided to pass. I went with the Corned Beef, Philly Cheesesteak and the Cheeseburger sliders with regular fries. BY FAR my favorite was the Corned Beef!! Next time I'm here I'm getting more! My date got a few different ones (I can't remember) but he got one with bacon, a Dearborn ham and something else. He also got these special fries, which I can't remember the name of, but they were good. We liked the fries but found that after about halfway through they became a bit much. Kind of overpowering, but not in a bad way, just to much green seasoning. Overall, we really had a good time here. It was worth the drive and the wait, and definitely a hidden gem of a place. I will gladly return in the future!

    Food was solid - wait was not so hot. They gave us coupons to make-up for that, however. I had 2 sliders. Fried chicken was the best. The syrup went perfectly with the chicken. I also had the BLT slider, which was good as well, but not as good as the fried chicken. I also had a side wedge salad that was delicious, but it was very small, just like the sliders. Truffle and herb fries were tasty. Portions were ok for sliders, but fries and salad were skimpy. If I ever go back to Detroit, I will return. (especially since I have those 2 free sandwich vouchers lol)

    The secret is out on Green Dot Stables. We haven't been able to get in the past few times that we've been Downtown, but that's a good thing! They're doing it right. This is one of my favorite places to go Downtown; what an excellent concept! The sliders are unique, fresh, and delicious. I love the a la carte menu and you can't beat the prices for the quality of the food. I'd have to say that the chicken was my favorite, but all of the sliders are fantastic at minimum. Green Dot is one of the many local establishments that offers poutine, and while the fries are the thin shoelace style, the overall dish is done very well. An excellent compliment to the wonderful sliders. There's also a decent beer list and the prices are fair. Nothing terribly outstanding, but the offerings are respectable; a great way to complement an awesome meal. I love the interior too; it's a converted 60's-70's ish dive with no windows, but there is a nice out side seating area. It wasn't too busy the first time we visited, and I felt like I was on the set of "Jackie Brown" sans windows; I thought for sure Samuel L. Jackson would come walking through the back hallway at any moment. Weird; but it's got a cool vibe and I'm glad they didn't make huge renovations. It's got a great character. Big plus for a private and free parking lot too! The servers have been fantastic and offer excellent suggestions if you can't decide on your order. Having a good waitstaff goes a long way, and I'm happy to say that each time we've been here, they've been great! I was skeptical at first about a restaurant that served sliders are their main dish, but I was blown away by how good everything is. I've tried the entire menu, over time, and I've not been disappointed once. It's a little difficult to get a parking space or a table if there's something going on Downtown (Tigers/Wings/Lions game, winter festival etc...), but it's well worth the wait and hassle if it's busy. You must get down here at least once to try it out.

    We went here after the DSO concert. Needed to come down from all that highbrow theatre stuff. Six of us arrived, place was packed. Said an hour wait when a table of 8 got up and left and we were seated...yea. Everything was yummy. I had the Reuben slider and truffle fries with kale salad. It was so fun and food was great. The teens were happy..what the.....can't wait to go again.

    This spot is WORTH the trek out from the burbs! I am a big fan of laid-back bar atmospheres with good food, and this hits the nail on the head. They have an exceptional variety of sliders and sides, with a great beer selection and friendly wait staff. I seriously wish I could get all the sliders whenever I go. Great flavor pairings and textures. They have some pretty good vegetarian options, too. Did I mention they are all about $2-$4? NOT. BAD. They accommodate larger groups, and have a huge parking lot. The waiters are very knowledgeable and will answer any of your questions. Seriously make the time to go.

    I really like Green Dot. The food and beverages are inexpensive so you'll feel compelled to order at least six different things -- but that's when your bill starts to add up, so be careful. My must-gets, every single time: Mystery Meat (no matter what it is, try it -- unless you're allergic to something, in which case, uh, don't) and the cucumbers. You may ask "why in the world would I pay $2 for sliced cucumbers and creme fraiche?" ORDER THEM. They are delicious and vinegary and salty and the creme fraiche and onions are perfect. I could eat at least three orders of these, and that wouldn't be half bad! This place is in the middle of nowhere, but there's a parking lot and security guards are always there (and super friendly!). It can be packed at times, and there's no call aheads. My main problem with this place is that I ALWAYS seem to get the oddest and/or grumpiest wait staff. One woman scolded my husband because he stretched his legs for a few seconds in the aisle. He moved them back by the time she walked over, but we were still yelled at. It was bizarre. We still go back regularly, though, so you can tell that it's not that big of a problem for me.

    Mmmmmm sliders! Chicken and sage syrup - who knew this would taste amazing! Be brave people don't stick to your same old choices these mini burgers are truly amazing. Get one of each and experience all the flavors! Great load back ambiance with on the dot service.

    If you want sliders then you go to the place that serves an abundance of good sliders. It's like if you want BBQ you go to Slows or it's somewhat equals. If you haven't been then you need to get there. It's in a kind of dodgy part of Detroit, but go during lunch and don't be scurrrrrred. They have a list of sliders that you can try. They have some safe choices and some interesting choices. If you are in the mood to be a dare devil and impress your friends try the mystery meat. Like Forrest Gump said, "you never know what you're gonna get." Pair your sliders with rosemary fries and little sweet potato salad (refreshing and comes cold). I quite like all of the sliders except the fish. The fish was cold and seemed stale. It was sent back and Green Dot, being a business with class, came out and offered us vouchers for a couple free sliders when we come back. I think that's good business. I will keep coming back because they are classy and they serve up some of the best sliders in town! When you are looking at the menu you will probably think, "oh man! This place is cheeeeeap!" Yeah, it is... at 3 bucks a slider. BUT you can't just have one. 3 bucks times 7 items for yourself tallies up. Maybe I just order too much... if you've been there you understand. My recommendation is to order everything on the menu. Why not? Try them all out!

  • Sue A.

    Wigley's corned beef, cuban sandwich, kale salad -- total yum! I didn't personally care for the chicken and waffles slider, but that didn't matter at all. Everything else and the service from the bartender was fabulous.

  • Jennifer G.

    Chicken and waffles yes! Crowded.

  • Donnelle W.

    All I have to say is PB & J with bacon. Something about the sweet/salty/smoky all together just makes it so very craveable. Yes there is usually a 20-40 minute wait, but it's well worth it for the yummy quality of food you can get. Give it a go!

  • Ross W.

    I wanted to like this place but the hostess was very rude to us. We also asked four times to three different people to change one TV from random horse races to an actual sporting event and they have minimal effort before giving up looking for the channel. The quality of food was not worth our experience with their service.

  • Tara L.

    5 stars!! If you're coming here over the weekend, I recommend coming between the hours of 2-4pm. You probably won't have to wait a long time (or at all), and you'll have a choice of tables or booths to sit at. Must gets: - Mystery Meat - Catfish - Fried Chicken - Gyro - Philly Cheesesteak - Herb and Truffle Fries (for parties over 2, get 2 orders) With each slider containing about 2 oz. of meat, the $3 price tag is worth it. :)

  • Kruthika S.

    This is a really great place to hang out with some friends. I love the idea of sliders as the main part of the menu. It is great for a snack or you can mix and match and try a bunch of different things. The bartenders were really nice, friendly and attentive. The drinks were cheap and really great. My brother got a long island ice tea for $3! He said it was a good long island too. I had the house white...it was not great. I would probably get their mix drinks next time. I got the Fried Chicken slider with maple sage. Really well cooked. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside. My brother loved his Philly Cheesesteak sliders. And my friend got the Black Bean slider and really enjoyed it. I have a pretty big weakness for truffle fries and these were also yummy! We went on a Friday night. It was really crowed. The wait was 45 min but we found a spot at the bar and hung out there. I would definitely recommend checking this place out. Good food. REALLY cheap.

    Fantastic Food. Great Atmosphere - lived up to the hype. Tried 4 different sliders, and only wish I had room for more. I will absolutely be a return customer many times over.

  • Mike E.

    Sliders and beer. If you like either of these things, it's a good bet. If you like both, it's a great bet! The diversity of the menu is great, you can eat healthy or as unhealthy as you want. The flavor is outstanding, and the beer is super cheap. Check it out for lunch or on weekends for drinks and food with friends.

    After hearing about this place from everyone, I finally made it down there. We went on a Saturday, and waited until the Tigers game started to try and beat the wait. We ended up waiting about 15 minutes for a table. Being my first time, I wanted to try more than one slider. So I ordered the standard cheeseburger, plus the gyro, lamb, Buffalo chicken, BCT, Hot Brown, Corned Beef and Fried Bologna sliders. They were all very good. My favorite was the gyro. And because everything is relatively cheap, $2 or $3 for basically everything, you can eat and drink until you get full without spending a ton of money. Can't wait to go back!

    It is an AWESOME place for sliders! This is one of restaurant in Detroit that really impress me. It has its own parking lot with security camera. I ordered kimchi slider, mystery meat (cooked tuna) slider, and truffle fries. The food is just heavely. The kimchi slider is consisted of beef patty, kimchi, and peanut butter. It seems to be a weird combination, but the combination really works. It has the creamy taste from peanut butter and some spice from the kimchi. They have mystery meat slider, each time is different. I got tuna patty this time for mystery meat. The tuna slider taste delicious! Each burger price about $3 per slider. It is really cheap with the quality of food you get. I ordered 3 sliders and they really kept me full. I didn't get any drink when i went there. but they have a great selection of cocktail and beers. Each drink cost about 3-5 bucks which is cheaper than most happy hour place drink. I will definitely come back again.

  • Aaron C.

    Green Dot Staples is one of our favorite places to go to Detroit. The beer is good, the sliders are amazing, the truffle and herb fries are incredible and you can't beat the price. The concept of specializing in small sliders and doing it well is pretty unique and puts them in their own class. The place is always busy which is a good sign but there is a great outdoor patio/bar to hang out at while you wait. Definitely worth it!

  • John T.

    The atmosphere and idea behind the place is the best part. lots of young people having fun. fun place for sure. dirt cheap drinks. it is fun ordering tons of different sliders. order a lot or you wont get full. I feel i needed 6 to get full. they are good but not great. there are so many that it is fun to choose and look and taste but they are not fantastic tasting. no bad though by any means. skip the dessert ones. very fun place to go with friends but i wouldnt go there if i was interested in having a good meal to enjoy. go to have fun; there is nothing wrong with that. not for conesieurs.

    3.5 stars. We had a blah dinner at Wright & Co, drove over here afterwards. Luckily, we didn't have a wait that Thursday night. Big fan of the menu, that every food item was $2-3. Ordered several sliders. Everything was good, but no particular standouts. Service was average. Food took awhile to come out. Cheeseburger ($2), Korean ($3, pb & kimchi), 2 mystery meats ($3 each), and buffalo chicken ($3).

  • Eowyn K.

    Green Dot does not look like much from the outside. Set in a lonesome area in Detroit, it does have it's own parking lot. Inside is a different story. Green Dot has a cool, relaxed vibe. My brother and I tried a couple different sliders. I loved the gyro and the mystery meat (Kobe beef on my visit). I also tried the fried chicken and thought it was okay. The chicken was a bit too thick for the bun. There was also too much of the honey-like sauce on it, a little went a long way. My brother really liked the buffalo chicken. The regular burger is good as well. We did not have any issue with dry buns, luckily. My brother also had the Cajun seasoned fries, nothing special. The poutin was better, but the cheese curds needed to be melted more. Other places in the area have superior poutine. Everything is under $5. Which seems cheap, and fit can be, especially for the drinks, but it can add up.

    This was my first visit to Green Dot Stables after raving reviews & I was not disappointed! I had the P&J & a hot (Ummm...I forgot, but it had bacon & chicken in it) slider. Both yummy, but the P&J was preferred. I loved the menu - such s variety of sliders. The price was even better. We paid $14 for both of our meals. The only reason why I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 is because my fries were cold & my seat was filthy when they sat us,

  • gregg h.

    being a tourist, I just don't understand the stable reference. was this place on the edge of a great racetrack, where bettors could come drink away their losses without the distraction of sunlight? doesn't really matter, but the racetrack references are everywhere and made me think of people nursing a stiff drink and wondering why they did a trifecta with a horse named Winner Winner Chicken Dinner... There's actually not much to say - the sliders are great, or the ones I had were. It would take lots of visits to get through the menu, so I'll do my duty. I felt out of place not drinking a beer, so I need to come back for more than lunch...

    I have been here twice and I love this place. Both times were during the week, so the service was excellent and both servers made great suggestions. I maybe waited five minutes for my full order to come out. The drinks and food are both tasty and cheap, that is a combination that you just can't beat! Also, the french fries are probably the best I've ever had. My only complaint was the weird, loud music. I was just not into it.

  • Darren G.

    You are gonna want to go here and get the sliders along with one of their excellent beer selections, I recommend an IPA. Go for three and include a mystery meat slider. Cool people, great decor and ambiance and an instant classic Detroit bar you have. Go here and don't fear.

    I think after reading all the reviews, I went here with my expectations far too high. People who say waiting 2 hrs is worth it are crazy. We waited 45 mins. I got the buffalo chicken, fried chicken, and black bean burger. My food was good (which you would expect in a restaurant) but nothing i would wait an hour for. The fried chicken was very good, tastes like chicken and waffles. Overall I liked my food but dont see what all the hype is about.

  • Carolyn E.

    EVERYTHING IS $3!!!!!! Food, beer, EVERYTHING. I absolutely love this place. Whether you are in the mood to eat or drink or both, this place is where you should take your out-of-town guests who like to be "in the know" and who don't mind traveling just a bit off the beaten path for great bar food. Though this place would appear to be a bit of a dive bar, the service has always been casual yet attentive, and the food is SUPERB. They keep it simple here - burgers, fries, and salads - but what they do, they do well. The Mystery Meat selection is always a sure bet, their venison chilli cheese fries are the BEST I've ever had, (and I've tried them all), the manhattan clam chowder is better than my Mom's, (shhh, don't tell), and the catfish and buffalo chicken sliders are a MUST try, as simple as they sound. Their ingredients are always fresh, seasonal, and local (when possible), and the food comes out fast. Lastly, their BEER SELECTION is top-notch with lots of Michigan selections on tap, and you can take a 6-pack home with you. On a side note, their bar chairs are my absolute favorite in metro-Detroit. I know that's kind of a random observation, but I like to sit at the bar, and this is THE best place to do that. They're like captains chairs that sit up high. Their patio is great in the summer as well. In conclusion? Meet your friends here. Hang out solo here. Go on a casual, cool date here. JUST GO.

    Reminds me of an 80s family diner gone full hipster with sliders and fries. The truffle fries were great, the sliders are $2-$3 a piece...I felt that was pricy for all the hype. We were there on a Sunday afternoon and waited 45 minutes for a seat and it was crazy loud.

    If you are into Sliders, Green Dot is a cool place to go. They offer some very out of the ordinary Slider Options and they are good. No reservations as they are so generally busy. There is bar space for singles or doubles.

    Unique and cheaply priced sliders, very cheap drinks equals a good nite here, however they are usually packed so expect a wait expecially if youre in a big group! Twos usually can snag a bar spot! But go its a great hang out spot!

    There is always a bit of a wait but the staff is friendly and the food is good. I'm a huge fan of the Korean slider. It has peanut butter and kim chee on it. Super tasty. I like that the sliders are only 3 bucks. You can try a few and it doesn't break the bank.

  • Sharina J.

    So I really want to give this place at least a 4 star because the food was great. I can't because they don't have an accessible bathroom, tables are too close together for wheelchairs, no low bar seats and there is no van accessible parking place. Now that is out the way let me tell you about the amazing sliders I had! I loved their authentic weirdly crafted sliders. I also go their hummus and chips and was satisfied by the taste and small portion. We came after a lions game and it was packed. I believe they had an outdoor area in the back but since it was December it was closed off. If this place at least had an accessible bathroom I would frequent it often. I said something to the waitress because hey you can't ask for everything, I just needed a place to relieve my beer filled bladder. She said they were aware of it not being accessible and she would hurry our food up. I'm assuming so we could leave and find an accessible bathroom. She didn't say it mean but I think she didn't handle it well either.

    I like Green Dot because of the super down-to-earth feeling. I also love the cheap menu which allows me to buy lots of things. Their jazzed-up fries are amazing, and the sliders are more than okay for bar food. They also have a good selection of cocktails. I approve :)

  • Valerie B.

    Went back today for lunch - unlike times before the place was only about 1/2 full. Our sliders took 35 minutes to come out and mine were all barely warm or cold. Mine must have sat while the other orders were made. They offered to make new ones for me, but the kitchen was so slow we couldn't wait. They were very apologetic and took the $ off the bill. Maybe new kitchen staff? Anyway, I was disappointed

  • Lylian D.

    There is a good reason why this place is always packed. The food and drinks are so cheap and delicious! I always get mystery meat slider along with the catfish. Truffle fries are awesome and so is their Manhattan clam chowder. I really don't have any good tips on avoiding a wait for a table for more than two people, but last time we were able to sneak our way up to the bar and get some seats. I usually like to come here an hour before the dinner rush, so around 5, to avoid some of the long wait.

    ALERT: - WINNER - Got to throw it a "Fin". I've been eyeing the Yelp reviews of the "Green Dot" for a long while now and knew that one day I would venture down to mecca. Today turned out to be my lucky day on a snowy stretch of 14th street. Our group of four left for lunch so early today (in order to snag a table during the busy lunch crowd), that we inadvertently left fellow yelper Rob M behind relegated to a chicken salad wrap at the office cafeteria. Sorry man. Once seated in the dimly lit dining area adorned with horse racing memorabilia and reminiscent of an Off Track Betting (OTB) lounge out east, our friendly server kindly guided us through the "3-dolla" specials. David G was quick to jump on a delicious cup of today's variation on the Mac 'n Cheese theme. Three of us did multiple hits of today's slider special after learning that the "mystery meat" was freshly grilled and Lent-friendly Tiger Shrimp with a spicy mayo on a fresh bun. Other sliders sampled by our table included the Korean, Fried Bolonga and of course the omnipresent Cheeseburger. All were solid and tasty hits. We walked the line with happy stomachs without feeling bloated as can happen on occasion. The Stables is sure to become one of our popular choices for an enjoyable lunch in the Motor Town. I throw it a "Fin".

    I love this place. My idea of a perfect day is to go to John King Books for a few hours and then go to Green Dot to read and eat! The sliders are 3 bucks so you can try a few and not go broke. It's often busy and you have to wait but everyone is nice and the food is good. Try the Cuban and the Fried Chicken sliders...so good!

    Went today for the first time. Wonderful food and great service. It was a beautiful day today and was hoping to be served on the patio. Apparently they don't serve anything on the patio which in some ways is great but also seems like a waste of valuable space.

    Where is this place? No where near anything. It's decor reminds me of someone's mid-70's basement. Who cares?! Right? It's all about the SLIDER. Lip-smackin', innovative combinations of beef happiness. Since I LOVE peanut butter, The Korean (kimchee, peanut butter and beef patty) is pretty freakin' fantastic. How can you go wrong with $2-3 sliders?! Not to mention- the TRUFFLE FRIES ARE KILLER! Can you say POUTINE without drooling on yourself? Try it. Ya can't. Always great service even though it CAN GET NOISY AND CROWDED. Plenty of drink options to sip while you wait from the bar. Mystery meat specials are the bomb. Elk, Buffalo. Anyone? They also have vegan/veg options. Make a list and check 'em off one by one. Now GO! Get in your car and drive. It's so worth it. ((my mouth is watering..napkin?!))

    What a fun place for dinner! I loved how friendly and helpful our server Sam was. She explained how everything worked for us and answered all of our questions. There is a lot of variety on the menu without it being overwhelming. I think my favourite was the Korean slider. The atmosphere is lively, with a large mix of people. The prices here are fantastic! $3 per slider and most drinks (yep, even alcoholic drinks) are between $3-5. This was our first visit, and we'll be back!

    MOSCOW MULES & MYSTERY MEAT!!! What is there to hate out of that statement? I didn't know what to expect my first time here. Green Dot is in the middle of nowhere and it literally reminds you of a horse stable. I loved the decor inside.. low lighting, great outdoor patio with picnic tables.. Didn't have a problem waiting for a table; I just grabbed a Moscow Mule and sat outside. I have tried their Truffle & Herb/Venison Chili Cheese Fries and they're great! Korean, Fried Chicken and the Hot Brown are awesome!! Fried Chicken is great with the syrup soaked in the bun.. and don't be scared of Mystery Meat. It sounds scary in any other situation... but at Green Dot it's a thing to try. It gets really crowded during dinner hours and on the weekend but when I did have to wait it was no longer than 15 minutes. I love to eat so if I'm around family and friends who don't judge.. I could order like 5 sliders to myself. Along with 5 Moscow Mules to wash them down!

    I've been here so many times and I can't sing its praises enough. The raspberry chipotle jam in their pb & j is the most amazing I've ever tasted. Their fried chicken, grilled cheese, poutine, and hummus with baked naan are all amazing. Love you.

    NOM NOM NOM!! Oh wow! I feel like the last one to find out about this place! SOOO good! Hubs and I ordered different sliders so we could try everything. The poutine is REALLY good. Real poutine gravy with cheese CURDS! The only bummer was the type of fries they use...but the awesome gravy and cheese curds totally made up for them! The sliders were great! I think my fav was the fried chicken! A really nice piece of chicken, covered in panko and fried, then smothered in maple syrup! Sweet and salty! Mmm. I also had the Philly cheesesteak and the ribeye in it was soo tender and had a nice beefy taste. I also had the BBQ Bacon, the sweet potato on it was nice...gave it just a nice taste and the BBQ sauce was tangy and sweet with good quality bacon and a nice beef patty! Everything was amazing. Service was very friendly and very polite. Cannot wait to come back here!! Loved it!

  • Jarvis A.

    What an incredibly random spot. There's absolutely nothing around this place. But there's a reason why this place is going strong, $2-3 drinks with $3 sliders. Add to that, a cool vibe and good service, and it's a recipe for a really good restaurant. The sliders were good, not spectacular, but did I mention $3. I drank $3 wine which was serviceable, but beer drinkers will love this spot. Not much more I can say. I was asked to drop a star, because the grilled cheese was eh, and they didn't have Stone IPA. So I obliged.

  • Laura C.

    Absolutely love this place. The Summer Soda cocktail is the best (wish they could offer all year round!) The atmosphere is very chill and fun (and hipster!) and they always have good music playing. It's worth the long wait. For food, you cannot go wrong with: Sliders: Korean, Catfish, Fried Chicken, Black Bean, Gyro French Fries: Truffle and Herb, Venison Chili Cheese Kate side salad- and I don't even like kale.

  • Randy G.

    Throw out the idea of a traditional slider, the look, texture, and flavor. Now throw out the menu and replace it with an updated modern flare, opposite textures, and outstanding flavors. Why would I ever want a traditional slider now. I've now tried their Corned Beef, Hot Brown, BCT, Korean, Lamb, Bologna, Cuban, Truffle Fries, Tempeh, Mystery Meat (changes daily, Blackened Ahi Tuna, Lobster Claw on the days I was there), Le Poutine, Gyro, PB&J W/ Bacon, and Buffalo Chicken. It's difficult to describe each one, but one of my favorites so far is the corned beef. Their Mustard Aioli is perfect with the corned beef. It has great contrast of the tart mustard and the saltiness of the corned beef. You'll wish it wasn't the size of a slider, more like a huge deli sandwich since its so good. The other surprising slider is their Tempeh. This is a slider that will make every vegetarian salivate and love each bite. It has a thick cut of tempeh and wasabi mayo with wakame salad. Be prepared to lick your fingers clean after eating this slider. It truly is an excellent harmony of texture and flavor. Green Dot is the only place I want to have sliders now. In my mind it is the ONLY place for sliders. It has variety, originality, flavor, excitement, and texture. I need no more.

    I like Detroit.... no scratch that, I love Detroit. Stopped here on the way out of town, and it just gave me another reason to come back... or move here. If I lived in Detroit, I would probably be here every week. Came on a Sunday and started the meal with a Ghettoblaster... beer that is. A $3 beer..... wait what??? Hailing from Chicago and now living in Austin.... I didn't think $3 beer existed after the 90's. But they have $3 beer here.. a wide variety. And $3 mixed drinks. The food: Amazing, It comes in small portions... at $3 each. So you order several items. Don't ask, just do it. Sliders are the food of choice. I had the corned beef and mystery meat. Both were tasty. And by tasty I mean flavorful... the corned beef had ALOT of meat in it for a small slider. I also had the special Sunday Le Poutin which I was tempted to order a second order of. My friend had the mac and cheese... I scoffed at her vegetarian limitations.... then took it back after trying said mac and cheese. Whatever you get.. make sure you order the mac and cheese too. Come here, order things, Chow down, then pay the people who earned it after coming up with this awesome establishment.

    Fun old place we only knew about because of yelp. Lots of good food, in small portions so you can try one of basically everything, plus drinks, and still be under $30 per person. Almost every item is $3 or less, so they are clearly encouraging you to make your own tasting menu. It is often busy, but worth the wait for a table.

    Wow, this place has the most interesting menu that I have seen in a long time. The pluses are the food, drinks and free parking. The only downside is it could be a little bit of wait but just chill and enjoy the atmosphere, loved it!

    -Food: good for what it is. Meat is decent. The American classics were better (beef burgers). For example, their Cuban and Korean sliders should say "inspired" because the flavors aren't even close to authentic. -Value: pretty good... group of 5 cost $15

    I went here with a friend to have some dinner and was really impressed! On the outside it looks a little dingy and unimpressive, and on the inside it's dark and moody, but the food and service was great! To get some good variety we decided to order a few sliders, some fries, and a soup to split. Admittedly I had to waddle out from how much we ate, but it was totally worth it. We started with the truffle and herb fries, which were perfect. Flavorful, still some crunch to them, but not oily. We also had the mushroom broth. I could have taken a bath in this stuff! So So good. I could taste all the different mushrooms and herbs and it was so well balanced! The sliders were ended up getting were black bean, gyro, fried catfish, bct, fried chicken, and the korean. All of them were good and packed with interesting flavors, textures, and on top of a soft succulent bun. My favorite was probably the bct though. Simple, uncomplicated, and delicious. I love how affordable this place is!

    I really like Green Dot a lot - great selection of different types of burgers & fries. I'm a vegetarian and had no problem getting something great & animal-free. The only downside is the long wait for seating & service, but that only speaks to this place's popularity!

    Tried it for the first time last week and love it! You can essentially pick so many different items and try them all for a resonable price (individual sliders and sides are $3) Cant get enough of their sweet potato salad, black bean slider, and their cajun fries are seasoned well and thin and crunchy.

    I was turned on to Green Dot Stables by a friend of mine. Since that initial visit I have been back many times and am never disappointed. I really like the original decor in this place. They left many of the original touches and it creates a nice ambiance. As a horseplayer myself I love the horse racing theme. They also always have a monitor going showing simulcasts. Brilliant! There is a parking lot but I have found it fills quickly. There is plenty of street parking so it's never a concern. Green Dot tends to get pretty busy and it's not uncommon to have a wait for a table. The popularity of Green Dot slows the service down but nothing to keep me from being a regular. The menu here is nothing fancy. Their main attraction is their sliders. They have many to choose from and you're sure to find something that suits your taste. I can say with confidence I have never had one I didn't like. They have a "mystery meat" slider that changes daily. This is an excellent idea as there will always be a new item to try every time I return. I highly recommend the poutine fries. They are delicious! Green Dot has an extensive beer menu as well as some craft cocktails. As with the sliders there is always a "mystery cocktail." Did I mention a cocktail is $3? How can you go wrong! Overall Green Dot has never let me down. It is a great place to go in Detroit with some friends for a few drinks and unique, well priced food that is actually good! I have taken several out of town visitors here and everyone is always satisfied. Hats off to the owners who put together an awesome place that is truly an asset to Detroit's recovery.

    Cheap tasty sliders! Green dot is a weakness of me and the bride!!!!! Love the truffle fries. Cubano and Kobe beef are my favorites my lady loves the philly cheese sliders. We come on a regular basis and the mystery meat is always good!!!!

    What a find! If you are looking at this review and are wondering where to go, go to Green Dot today. You will not regret it. My fiancee and I were planning our post-Hawks/Redwings game dining and this gem showed up. My fiancee said she remembered hearing about it from an article highlighting some of the must-try places and had wanted to give them a shot. After looking at the menu, we knew where we would quell our hockey-fueled hunger. First, this is not really near anything else of similar function. Not being familiar with Detroit and just looking at a map, it looked like a decent but manageable walk from Joe Louis Arena. I wouldn't recommend that. It is in the middle of an industrial area and not really a comfortable walk. So driving would be recommended from the arena. But it does lend it a bit of an oasis feel, especially at night. We were able to be seated right away though it was mostly full. Our server, Katie, came and took our drink order shortly after we sat down and ran through the mystery items (cocktail, meat, etc.) before leaving us to our decision session. The specialty of Green Dot is a vast selection of sliders. We had maybe 15 different sliders to choose from and with the suggestion that 4-6 would be a good place to start, we had to perform some triage. Once we paired down the offerings down to 6 (which was a painful process since we wanted to try just about each one) Katie took our order (including the cucumber salad and an order of poutine) and our anticipation built. We received the cucumber salad first. It was a perfect first course and though simple, was tasty and a perfect way to warm up the palate. Next. the sliders came out with the poutine. It was glorious. The sliders were amazing, creative, and as advertised. And the poutine was properly balanced between gravy, fries, and curds. Mmm, I am getting ravenous thinking about it. And we decided that we needed another round of an additional 2 sliders and the Cajun fries. By the time we had had our fill, we had most of the menu, both food and cocktail. We were very pleased. We had enjoyed a incredibly fun and flavorful meal with delicious drinks and impressively quick and courteous service. That would usually be enough for me to stat telling everyone I know that this was a place that must be experienced. But there's more. The cost. We were able to have most of the menu and several rounds of drinks for under $60. Six zero. If you haven't made up your mind to put Green Dot on your list, then I don't know what to tell you other than you are missing out. Do yourself a favor and go.

    The food is delicious, the drink selection & price is spot on, the service is genuine. The only draw back is the wait times. If you're in a time crunch, this is not the place for you. But if you're not, it is SO worth the wait.

  • Matthew P.

    I wish I could come more often. Do I feel dirty typing up a review when it's already been done by most of Yelp. Sure. Do I care? Nahhh. Green Dot is kind of a jerk with their 'no substitution' thing, but ya know they flavor profiles the chefs are trying to achieve I respect. I has almost every single slider, and while their price is higher than average for the size, you pay for the creativity, and freshness. I like the menu structure, pricing, and beer selection.

  • Benjamín S.

    I don't know how to put this but.. you can't afford to *not* eat here. Delicious sliders, fries, and drinks, all at an amazing value. I had already known I was going to eat at Green Dot, but when I heard it described around town as a "hipster restaurant" I knew it was meant to be. One of the "mystery meat" sliders on the menu was a "kobe hot dog slider." Which is apparently a locally made ground kobe beef hot dog. Seriously? I was in love. I would personally recommend the BCT and the Gyro sliders, along with the truffle & herb and poutine french fries. Note that not every option is a winner - the quinoa burger in particular was underwhelming. Not "bad" per se, but not as good as the rest of the options I sampled. The interior is cute, the noise level is perfect for having a serious conversation, and the service is pleasant. If I had one teensy recommendation - and this is something that I've recommended to several similar restaurants - it would be to consider moving away from potato buns to buns that more appropriately complement the food being served - egg, brioche, etc. All around a great experience.

  • Karen W.

    Wow! This little gem was amazing. It's kind of off the beaten path but well worth it for their very unique and tasty sliders. We tried the cheeseburger, mystery meat ( Hungarian sausage) coney, Korean and fried chicken. It's hard to pick a favorite because they were all so good. The fried chicken slider tastes like chicken and waffles which is heaven in your mouth. The coney slider uses a venison chili which was really good. The prices are super affordable as well as drink prices. This was my first time but certainly won't be my last!

  • Drew K.

    Wait time for a group of 6 was ridiculous. Was told 45/60 mins but took 1.5 hours. Food was good and our wait staff was friendly. Recommend: Mac-n-cheese, clam chowder, corned beef, cheese burger, coney dog, gyro, and the s'mores.

    This is a great place if you're looking for something different. Their entire menu is made up of various sliders, salads and french fries. You'll have to order a few things to make a meal but everything is cheap ($2-$4). The atmosphere is like a dive bar, very relaxed, somewhat hipster. Their cocktail menu is pretty good as well.

    I love love love this place.. Very affordable! A nice place to hang out and catch up with friends over some drinks and sliders :) The only thing that i don't like is that they will not do seperate checks.

  • Christina K.

    Enjoyed each plate, started off with the Cajun and truffles fries, definetly great. Ordered the steak and cheese, bacon cheese burger, buffalo chicken and Korean and they were all so great. Also we ordered the Mac and cheese. For dessert the choice was the nutella s'more and woww! It was so yummy..

    Busy pub in the middle of no where. It's small but busy! We didn't wait too long to get seated thankfully but the line was long as soon as we sat down. We best the rush! But if you're waiting, you can enjoy their cheap drinks from the bar. I got a good size cocktail for $3! Can't beat that...really... This place as everyone know is known for their VARIETY of sliders and they are all so cheap. $2/3...such a deal for so many flavors! The mystery meat was a bison/lamb/rabbit meatloaf slider and that was the best IMO. Also have the fried chicken slider which was a moist piece of panko breaded fried chicken with maple syrup. It's like slander version of chicken and waffles. Love. The Korean slider was blah...nothing special and not a fan of the peanut butter. The BBQ bacon was average. Just like a BBQ slider. I guess I was expecting something different considering all the other interesting types. The tempeh (tofu like patty) slider was good. Seems very wholesome/healthy but it was delicious with the seaweed salad. And that poutine!!! Gravy, cheese curds, and crunchy shoestring fries were on point! We're across the river from Canada so they really can't screw that up. Got the cucumbers also since everyone else was getting them. 1st time having vinegar drenched cucumbers and creme fraiche and it was quite a surprised. Yummy and refreshing. There's no wonder why this place is packed..cheap and good food and booze.

  • Allison C.

    I give them 4 stars creativity :) the food was very good, limited to a plethora of sliders of all kinds, definitely sad I didn't try the s'more on a slider bun for dessert! Give it a try its gaining popularity as a detroit restaurant nationwide

  • Lori G.

    I don't get it. It's kind of like the Slow's BBQ following. It get's trendy and everyone makes it a destination and rates the place out of this world. I have a friend who lives in the area. We used to go quite a bit and get a few sliders and a few beers. The sliders are good, and yes they have a large variety, but that's about it. It's not worth the rude service (more pompous than anything) or the wait. You can make a burger at home and put kimchee or peanut butter on it. The thing that gets me the most is that even when it's packed on a Friday or Saturday they let children sit at the bar (elementary kids)...isn't that illegal? Basically it's pretty good food, I used to enjoy the Buffalo Chicken Slider and cucumbers, but I won't be back. If you have nothing better to do but wait around for mediocre food, this is your place.

    It's delicious sliders and pountine is enough to make you sit through the up to an hour wait. Servers are great here. The seating is very comfortable. The atmosphere is chill. You can tell it's a well run machine.

    This is a unique joint on a desolate street near Corktown. Just a few blocks south from Michigan ave, Green Dot Stables offers ample parking in their private lot. Their food is grand when compared to other slider joints, especially if your a little adventurous. Their Truffle & Herb fries are a good compliment to my favorite slider, the Catfish! I've tried most of their regular menu items and the only one I'd steer clear of is the Korean. I wouldn't call the place cheap, so I gave it $$. If you're extremely disciplined, you could get out for under $10, but generally I would say it's about $15-20 out the door per person. You should have an alternative plan if you're pressed for time, as the wait can exceed 30 minutes.

  • Ashley C.

    I've been to Green Dot multiple times. The food is tasty as well as the drinks. The prices are stellar and the atmosphere is fun. On the downside the buns for the burgers are lackluster, they are not buttered, grilled, or steamed. The sliders would be soooo much better if attention was given to the buns. Hence the reason for the 4-stars.

    (4)

  • Tim K.

    Perfect "spot" for a pre game or show meal. $3 drinks and menu items all hit the spot. Highly recommend the fried chicken and bbq bacon slider. Fries are " meh" but don't let that detour from an awesome selection of sliders. S'mores desert didn't disappoint either.

  • Robert P.

    It was a cool spot to get some interesting sliders before a Tigers game. They have many microbrews and a cool atmosphere. It's in a weird spot location wise and I like that. I had a duck slider, some venison chili cheese fries, a catfish slider and a regular beef and bacon slider. All were delicious.

  • Damian R.

    Gourmet sliders, a few house specialty craft cocktails, best french fries ever...THE STAFF IS GREAT, and the neighbors across the street are pretty f#cking cool too. If you get there early enough it's a good place for parties of 4-8. Outside seating and area to chill with a view of Scrooge McDuck's bridge to Canada. Safe parking for bikes (racks and plenty of stuff to lock to). Great starting point for a bike ride to Mexican Village, Corktown, Midtown or Downtown.

  • Lauren C.

    This is THE place to go for sliders! So, so good! My favorite is the fried chicken, it has a delicious syrup on it. Yum! Just thinking about it makes me hungry. They always have a mystery meat slider which is fun to try. Everything there is really good. Definitely give this place a try for sure, you will not be disappointed!

    (5)

  • Sara B.

    Food was great. I'm a vegetarian and had the quinoa slider, which was good, Tempe slider which was amazing, and the kale salad salad which was good. They were busy, so we sat at the bar. Service was slow and the food took forever, but it was good when it finally came.

  • Rob P.

    This is review #2: I gave this place a second chance. Waiting around a half hour to get a seat. When we were seating we weren't given menus. We ordered and waited an hour and 20 minutes until our food arrived. We watched a nearby table near us who were seated after us receive and finish their food. The waiting kept telling us the food was coming. They need to get organized or go out of business. I would have a better time if this were an actual stable and probably have better service from horses. Hungry? Want good service? Go to McDonald's and stay away from this place cause it's run by special-ed baboons.

    Love this place! Been wanting to try this place for a year and finally made it! It was delish. I had the series fish, tempeh with seaweed sliders were fantastic and so was the putine ! Liked the black bean slider . We had the Creme Brule for desert and was way better then I would have expected. If you haven't tried this place you are missing out on one of Detroit's treasures!

  • Casey R.

    Get the PB & J....and add BACON! The mystery meat is always delicious as well as the mystery drink. The fried chicken with maple syrup is dynamite. Every time I've been here there is a wait to get it. It's expected so you can't be disappointed when you're told that you have to wait a hour. Go grab a $2 or $3 dollar beverage and chill before you feast.

    Hmmm, an "upscale" slider joint ... I was intrigued and took the son for a birthday lunch. I like the ala carte style menu that allows you to sample the various sliders & sides ... you can make it as cheap or expensive as you like, ;). They have some real gourmet choices, ie Cuban, Corned Beef, Korean, Fried Bologna, PB&J, Mystery Meat, et... all pretty good, IMO. Nice beverage selection, the atmosphere comfortable & pleasant, the decor/menu reflect the business theme & the service very good ... I see myself enjoying an afternoon Tiger's game here in the future. :)

    Mystery meat slider the day after Easter ? Rabbit! Yum, for my first time eating rabbit it was awesome. I also had a Buffalo chicken slider and chicken slider. Amazing. Right amount of crunch, sauce, everything. I cannot wait to get back for more ! Did I mention the $2 bottle beers ! Staff was friendly and helpful too. See you on the next Slow Roll or Critical Mass rides for sure.

    Yum! Creative and delicious. Quick seating and service, even when all the tables are full; just cozy up to the bar and mingle with people. Lively, positive atmosphere with fun employees and customers. The waiter was so patient as we learned the menu. We ordered a variety of sliders and loved every one. Also, the soup was delish. As I write this, I'm getting hungry just thinking about their food. The parking lot was well-lit with plenty of space to park, so I felt safe. TIP: go many, many times so you can try each slider. :)

    I was so excited to try this place, but left disappointed. My husband and I tried probably 8-10 sliders all together and I found that the simplest (cheeseburger) was best. The fried chicken really had no flavor and many of them were indistinguishable from one to the next.

  • Yuppi C.

    Loved this place. Busy little bar. Lots of seating, but also lots of people. When I arrived I got a table, but soon every table was filled. They serve sliders. All of them are $2 and $3. There's something for everyone. Veggie or meat. Quinoa, beef, bologna, grilled cheese, tempeh, hot dog, venison chili, truffle fries, etc. About 15 different sliders, some sides and salads too. Each week or so they have different mystery meat. This week was rabbit. Sliders are about the size of a White Castle only gourmet. I tried the rabbit which I think had onions and a cranberry horseradish sauce. Also tried tempeh, a fake kind of meat. It was my favorite. Smokey and had a good texture. Was topped with some kind of thin greens. I had one with bacon, cucumber, roasted tomato sauce and mayo. The menu had so many I wanted to try! I kick myself for not ordering more. Even the beers were $2 and $3 each. I'd definitely go back and would be a regular if i lived in the area.

  • Frederick R.

    Great Selection. Lots of Fun. When it comes to delicious and affordable food and drinks this place kicks butt. I have tried most of the sliders on the menu and I have never been dissapointed. Drinks are cheap. This place is busy at busy times but if you can get a seat you should be happy.

    Incredible food at an incredible value. I've never been disappointed with a single thing I've had from this place. The mystery meat has pleasantly surprised me 3 times now. While some options may appear to be a bit overvalued than others, I assure you they're all equally delicious if they peak something you're in the mood for.

    (5)

  • Karla M.

    I really, really wanted to like this place. However, I'm not sure I'll ever be back. The food is just ok. The management of the place is horrendous. In fact, the manager was just plain rude and ineffective when I politely asked him to check on the status of our table *after two hours *. When they finally did seat us... Food took another 45 minutes and came out cold. Resting on your laurels and think you can lose a customer or two? You probably can for now...We'll see how long it lasts until the hype dies down.

  • Jill B.

    Step back into the 70s but enjoy contemporary sliders and craft beer. Really economical draft beer and wine . Truffle fries are a must! Expect a bit of a wait, but there is a large indoor side porch with picnic tables and outdoor tables in the summer. Order two to three items each.

    We went there last night knowing that the wait was going to be long. We waited a little over an hour but the drinks were cheap and strong which made it not so bad ($7 for two mixed drinks). When we finally got seated service was fast and efficient. My only complaint is that they forgot one of my sliders and none were hot when served.

    I've been to this place for a few occasions: lunch meeting, birthday party, bar run.. I don't get the hype of this place. everything is cheap and edible. but it's not really the best. some of their food remind me more of stuff you can get at a white castle or 7-11. like the deer chili cheese fries...i'm not sure if it was deer meat, it really tasted more like a 7-11 chili cheese fries.. the drinks were trying so hard to low-ball sugar house but just missing the quality. but it's 3 bucks.

  • K. W.

    How the $&@! Did I miss this place in my travels? I'm seriously upset with myself. The sliders (different kinds from corned beef to traditional and back) are fabulous. The fact that drinks and sliders are $3 a piece is just wrong (in a good way). I'm seriously in a la poutine coma. Mystery meats and drinks keep the menu exciting. I can see a repeat visit in the near future. Oh, the service is fantastic also. Pro tip of the day: standing up abruptly after too many $3 drinks increases the chance of stumbles.

  • Lakeysha C.

    I never would have found this place if a friend had not told me about it. I guess it's near Corktown but a little off the beaten path. It is definitely a weird little place but they had me at $3 cocktails! I had a moscow mule. Usually when drinks are cheap, you get this watered down, sorry excuse for a drink - but not here. The drink definitely had a kick and the ginger beer was probably the best I've tasted. The food was also amazing! I had a catfish slider, buffalo chicken slider, and cajan fries. It was so good...I've made it a personal goal to try every slider on the menu.

  • Lila L.

    Far and away our favorite new Detroit restaurant. We order the Kale Salad and the Cuban Sandwich and then a slider and then order it all again and again. (Why not? They're only 3$ a piece!) Nothing's oversized or over priced.

    Another review of GDS??!! Ok sure. Well the cocktails are delicious and priced perfectly, sliders and fries never disappoint and the service is always friendly and efficient.

    Have been to Green Dot about 5 times in the last 10 weeks and every time is better than the last. Have also turned on about a dozen friends and colleagues, each of whom was very impressed. Do yourself a favor and order the following: Wedge Salad, Truffle & Herb Fries, the following sliders -- Cuban, Korean and BBQ Bacon -- and, at least three Ghetto Blaster beers. Good times indeed.

    What: $3 will get you pretty much anything from this casual Corktown menu. Great sliders with names like Tempeh Burger, Corned Beef, Mystery Meat. TVs at the bar. When: After work if in the Downtown Detroit Corktown area. Who: Better with friends or group of co-workers for after hours happy hour. Must: Try the Korean with Le Poutine, Kale, and Moscow Mule. Repeat. #RajivRecommends100% #DetroitCity #FoodReview

    This was my first visit and I had the tempi, gyro and fried chicken sliders. I also had the anti pasta, with potatoes , asparagus and ham. Everything was delicious! I didn't care for the sweetness of the maple on the fried chicken slider but thats a personal preference. The meat was cooked well. The tempeh was my favorite, it had just the right amount of wasabi. The gyro was good as well it just needed some onions. I really liked the truffle and Cajun fries. We went on a Sunday afternoon so it wasn't that crowded, right after lunch but before dinner. Great food... It does suck that no food is served on the patio. It was a beautiful day and eating on the patio would have made it better.

    At first I really wasn't into this place, but once I got a few favorites figured out and the rules straight, it became a pretty regular part of the lunch routine. My favorites are the fried chicken, corned beef, buffalo chicken, coney dog and the catfish. Very tasty sides, too. The mystery meat is always fun, as well. My favorite mystery meats were spicy buffalo and kangaroo. Beware of mystery meat with "frites" in the name - it's balls! They have a nice beer selection. As far as rules, you won't be seated until your entire party is present. Every person, no exceptions.

    I'm totally in love with this place. We tried it out on a Saturday but at an off time (about 3:00 in the afternoon). I'm sure they probably get packed at night....but for a first time visit this was perfect. There were 4 of us and between us we practically tried everything on the menu. My favorite slider was the BBQ bacon. I also had the BCT (Bacon-Cucumber-Tomato Jam-Aioli). Um yes, I do have a slight bacon addiction. Also sampled the plain ole cheeseburger slider, the mac & cheese (which was my least favorite thing), french fries and the venison chili fries. My hubby loved the cuban slider. Friends adored the cat fish, corn beef and bologna (which I would never in a million years try) slider. Sadly, I couldn't get a game of foosball going with anyone in my party. Maybe next time. Cool place to hang out nonetheless. The olympics were on and they have several good quality large screen TV's to watch through out the place. They have a different mystery meat slider each day. The day we were there it was a tofu slider....I guess they use the term 'meat' loosely :) :) Can't wait to go back!

    The hype is definitely justified. I came during what I thought'd be a non-peak hour - around 2:15 p.m. on a weekday. There were only a few open spaces at the bar. People who lived and worked in the area were there for their midday beers and snacks. The atmosphere was super relaxed and friendly, with Motown in the background (4 Tops!) and European soccer on the TV. I wish there were a place like this in my neighborhood. The service was excellent - super personable. It is the kind of place where they seem to want to know your name, and where there are tons of regulars. The beer list was great, and super inexpensive. Founders Porter is one of my faves, but this would be a great place to try out new beers. The food was very tasty. I had the black bean slider - it was very good, almost buttery. The kale salad with quinoa is great. The mac and cheese was the weak point - it wasn't much better than what I used to make in my old dorm room. There was no crispiness or bite to it. The truffle-herb fries were obscenely good. And the portion sizes were reasonable - you don't feel any self-disgust after eating these small plates. I'm looking forward to trying out lots more. So, you gotta check this place out, especially if it's in your neighborhood (though you probably've already been here). One of Detroit's best.

    Another cool place in Corktown. Good local beers, very tasty sliders. Kind of retro chic ambience. Mixed crowd of tattooed hipsters, local working stiffs, and everything in between. Soccer games on TV and good tunes on the radio. Free wifi. Plenty of parking. Kind of sketchy neighborhood, but not too bad.

    Great place great food great service great prices. Did I mention this place is great! I can't understand the previous comments about the size of the sliders being too small BUT I don't have any reference to compare them to how they used to be. They were perfect to me I was full after eating 2 of them with a kale salad and truffle fries. I forced the third one down simply because it was so flavorful!!! I will return soon!!!

    Yes oh yes, finally, Green Dot! Every bit as good as I was expecting. I knew my father would dig this place for our Family Father's Day outing. We started off with their Manhattan style clam chowder, which we were happy to find (most restaurants don't think past the creamy stuff). So zingy-clammy-good. My folks, both native NYers, were quite impressed. After that, I inhaled my kale salad. Didn't think I was going to but I did. Crispy, tangy, filled with lovely little shallots. Dark green goodness to lay the foundation for the supernal slider-fest. And...the sliders were magnificent, particularly the cheeseburger (always a classic), the Korean (an odd sounding combo that WORKS beautifully) and the mystery meat (LOBSTER!!!). What could make these better? Some crispy truffle herb fries, of course! Only one thing I found was lackluster: the mac and cheese. The sauce was thin and tasted bland. Maybe it was an off day. At $3 however, I'd try it again. Many an awesome beer (lotso Michigan brews) can be had for $3. Their cocktails are also $3 but they have oodles of premium liquor and you can order a mint julep made with Woodford Reserve for $6, which is STILL a steal in my book. They get high horse marks from me for their excellent selection of bourbons and scotches. Our servers were top notch and friendly too. I hope to be stopping at the stables again soon!

    Went on a Friday night before a Tigers game for dinner/drinks. Everything I had was really good. Nothing "great" or "mind-blowing" but everything was better than it had to be. All of the 4 sliders I tried were, again, really good. Favorite was probably the chicken mornay. Tried the cucumbers, house and kale salds. All were really tasty. Mac and cheese was good but needed salt. Fries were consistently crisp and tasty. Truffle and herb and malt vinegar were the best. Good beer list. Wonderful service. On it's own (location, atmosphere, quality of food, servcie) this is a solid 4 star joint. What puts it over the top for that 5th star is the preposterous prices. We had 7 sliders, mac and cheese, 3 salads, 3 sides of fries, 2 desserts, and 3 beers for FIFTY THREE dollars. Insane. A great place to spend some time.

    Green Dot Stables was such a wonderful experience! And for a random Monday night, there were quite a few customers. The lighting and decor is quite pleasing and being able to order from a full bar is a plus. But I wouldn't say one goes there for the drinks. Looking at the variety of sliders on the menu, it's hard to pick and choose which sliders are going to taste the best and everything we ordered was delicious. Also, you can't possibly leave the restaurant without ordering their dessert. The S'mores slider is pure gooey deliciousness. This place is great for date night or out and about with a bunch of friends!

    Came to this joint with reasonably high expectations, and they were met for the most part. The beanie-and-neckbeard-sporting servers may give rise to a preconception of careless, dismissive service, but thankfully this never materialized. I ordered the Korean slider which consisted of kimchi and peanut-butter sauce on a beef patty--it was pretty good. The lobster slide, on the other hand, was incredibly delicious. Truffle and herb fries reminded me of a less junky/ more sophisticated version of McDonalds': addictively flavorful without making you feel "weighed down" afterwards. Was also pleasantly surprised by the wide array of beers available, and opted for the Detroit Pale Ale which paired nicely with our meal.

    I knew this would be an awesome place when I saw the Diners Club sign hanging on the outside. YES! It should remain there as an old heirloom. The interior of Green Dot Stables really does put you in the mind of being at a race track lounge. It's a laid back and chill atmosphere with an AWESOME ladies room. It's painted purple with a variety of eclectic and antique-esque mirrors all around the walls. The brand new, white sink against the purple wall is attractive, too -- weird to mention in a review, maybe, but hey. Sitting at the bar, Roger & Crew provided attentive service. Everyone was friendly. ANYway, onto the food! You can't beat a menu in which everything is $2-$3. I'd love to end up having one of everything on the menu -- over a period of time, of course. I started that quest by having 3: the Catfish Slider, BBQ Bacon Slider and the Au Poivre. SO good. I felt like it would be rude for me to dress up the sliders with ketchup & such before giving them a try in their au natural state, but next time, I might nix the creamy sauce and use a little hot sauce on the catfish one. Also on the Au Poivre, I might add some ketchup and mustard -- while the peppercorns gave me that kick, the ketchup & mustard would give me that taste. The BBQ Bacon Slider was perfect just the way it was served. The beverage menu consisted of $3 cocktails & beers. Win! I started off with two of the IPAs and then settled down with 3 of the "Gin Promise" cocktail. They didn't skimp on the alcohol of this 3 buck cocktail, either. It was just right and just enough. All in all, I'm diggin it. I'm going to be sure to get a different burger each time, just so I can complete my quest of trying each one on the menu. I didn't have any of the fries, but the truffle fries are on my radar. The priase over Green Dot Stables is well deserved and I hope it sticks around for a long time.

    What else do I need to say about Green Dot Stables other than - everything is under $3 AND actually tastes awesome! This hidden gem is totally worth going a little out of your way to find. And if you're on your way to a Red Wings game, it's a great place to start with an easy route to the Joe. The menu changes seasonally and I've had a variety of sliders, sides and cocktails and haven't been disappointed yet. I almost always try the mystery meat, whatever it is that day - don't forget to check the chalkboard in the corner for the details. I also really enjoy the truffle fries and poutine, mmm. The portions are nice and personal sized, I think it's perfect for trying new things. The atmosphere is, well, clever I guess. I think they took an old dive bar and turned it hipster with a few touches. Personally, I like it. Also, the service is so-so. We've sat at the bar quite a bit and sometimes you have to wait a little longer than I'd like, but it hasn't stopped me from coming back! Everyone is typically pretty helpful and friendly. Caution: It gets REALLY busy! If you have a big group they won't seat you until you're all there and no reservations. Get there early if you have somewhere you need to be. We've found it pretty full even on a random Monday or Tuesday evening and on weekends and event nights it gets packed. So plan accordingly.

    Oh Green Dot Stables. My dear boy...I tried to like you. I wanted to like you. There's nothing else around you except Blondie's and a Comerica Bank. I think I'd rather eat in Comerica's parking lot... The problem with this place is 3-fold: 1.) Prices. I seem to mostly resent this place because they put off this cloak of deception when it comes to their prices. I walk in and I think, "hmm, couple bucks a slider...interesting selection, not bad!" 3-4 sliders later, and an order of truffle fries and a beer, and I'm easily over 20 bucks. I walk out and I think, "what the hell happened? I thought we had an agreement! You (and others) told me you were cheap! And I'm not even full!" This is all a really weird way of saying the prices are deceptively high. 2.) Food. I'm sorry. The slider's aren't that good. I've tried a bunch now. I've been to this place 4 times. I always order something different. Local "favorites" like the chicken and syrup slider are bland, the corned beef is somehow lacking ,and really--none of the sliders leave an impression. And how can you make truffle fries taste cheap? I'm just not crazy about it. And finally, 3.) Clientele. Not to be a Detroit snob (again), but if a place has this many damned reviews and 9/10 of them are from people from oakland county, with very few from the city, I have to be skeptical. The first time I came here was at the insistence of my friend from Rochester Hills. The place is filled with young, well-dressed socialites of that caste. Maybe it's just me. I feel the air of superiority and I do thinks like ordering "california common" when i mean Anchor Steam. People seem to approve. I don't. Just because I can rock the game and be an educated prick doesn't mean I like it. I prefer laid back. Slider's in general aren't special. They're all over the city. I'll let ya'll know when I find a slider that's really, really special.

    Decided to go here on Friday night because it was almost 11:30 pm and we were starving. I'm so upset with myself that I waited so long to come. Drinks were excellent, food was superb, and the check was even better. Will definitely visit again.

  • Cyndi T.

    Wow. What a surprise and in a nice way. Great sliders, good beer that was reasonably priced ($3!) and what a great variety. Between three, we got several sandwiches and they were all good. Herb and truffle fries were so good, I got one order with my sandwiches and another order for dessert. Poutine fries were amazing. If you haven't had poutine, don't overthink it, just try it. You won't be sorry. Nice lettuce wedge salad. Service was friendly. Seems like this place is always busy, so plan on waiting. Will definitely be going back.

  • Sean D.

    A lot of hype behind this place. Located in an obscure area filled with industry, called "Corktown Shores" by the locals and hipsters. A good beer selection, lots of craft beers. Atmosphere looks similar to the exterior, a dated 1970s feel. Always very packed with people, so it is quite loud. Lots of handlebar mustaches and hipsters abound. After hearing a lot about the slider menu, I was excited. The prices add up quick (for having 3 sliders and fries). In the end the sliders were good but not great. Simply put they were way over-hyped, and not something I would be craving or dying to get back and have more.

    (Quickly, a preface: On the 25th of this month, I lost a friend to a car accident. Dan and I flew out to Michigan for the funeral. A lot of our friends were already there, gathered for the halloween event that Icrontic.com throws every year... so I ended up eating at a few places I'd never been before with them as we cried, laughed, and remembered our friend. It may sound silly, but I am dedicating the next few reviews I write in Spencer's memory.) I'd just taken a redeye from LA to Dallas, and then from Dallas to Detroit... We'd left at midnight, and didn't get to our destination until 11:30 the next morning. Hopping between time zones is clearly a cruel cosmic practical joke, and I was not then, nor am I now, willing to work all the changes out in my head. I only know that it felt like forever. I was sad, and tired, and oh man... hungry. Two good friends of Dan's and mine were awaiting us at the airport, and from there, after hugs and hellos, we headed here; to Green Dot Stables. Green Dot Stables, I appreciate your effort. I really do. You're a weird little, almost hole in the wall-ish, kinda' divey bar... seemingly in the middle of nothing. Yet... yet there's a decidedly hip, dare I say hipsterish, vibe going on here. Maybe I'm just starting to associate any place that goes out of its way to label vegetarian options on its menu with being "hipsterish", I don't know. That would be unfortunate. Either way, I did enjoy this place as much as I could have under the circumstances. I ordered the weird peanut butter and jelly chipotle slider, the black bean slider, and then cajun fries. The report card is as follows: the fries were damn delicious, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich was burnt, and the conversation at the table prevented me from eating more than a bite of the black bean... but I believe it was a bit dry. Other than that, the water for the tea was only warm at best, and I think the tea bags were a little old, as the tea itself was kind of weak. The service was fine; no problems there. I do like their whole "mystery etc..." thing, wherein you have no real idea what you're getting on any given day. The bartender hadn't even finished coming up with the special drink when we were there, and that was kind of, well, fun. Exciting, even. Also? Damn you, Michigan, for being so oddly cold in October. When I left LA it was 70 degrees, and you think it's funny to greet me with your measly 40 degrees, and your somber gray skies? No. Thank you, Stables, for being so warm. Aaaaaand, that is all.

    Warning it might get really tempting to keep on ordering at this place! I had to try really hard to stop myself from ordering more sliders! I had the corned beef, Philly cheesesteak, truffle and herb fries, buffalo chicken, kale salad, Korean burger, and cheese burger. The only two sliders that were not that special were the cheeseburger and the Philly cheesesteak. Other than that everything was great! My fave was definitely the Korean burger. My buddy also had some of the veggie slider burgers and thought they were great too. Atmosphere is fine I'm just not a huge fan of places that don't have windows. I guess I like the feeling of getting natural light indoors. The food makes you forget all about that though.

    Pros: They were very accommodating for a large group birthday party. I brought in a huge tres leche cake and they had no problem with it. I even gave our server a large slab for herself. Everything on the menu is cheap, like 3 bucks so it's easy on the wallet. The interior is super cute with all the horse racing swag and old wood. Cons: The food was not as good as I had heard. I had the kale salad which was adequate but nothing special. I also had a black bean slider which was pretty sad and dry. Sadly the Morningstar Farms BBB that I make in my toaster oven is tastier. They put an 18% gratuity on the bill without mentioning it. It's not a huge deal and I can understand why they did it, however, our server should have mentioned it to avoid some people leaving a 38% tip. I will return to Green Dot if I happen to be in the area. It's a nice addition to the restaurant scene in the D. Perhaps the food will get better with age?

    They offer quite a few sliders at a very reasonable price point. My favorite was the Bison. All sliders are either $2 or $3 with about a dozen or so to choose from. Good overall experience!

  • Sam M.

    I had the poutine, truffle fries, the fried chicken burger, and mac and cheese. Maybe it was just an off night but the poutine and the truffle fries were overly salted. I couldn't even finish the poutine because it was so salty. The mac and cheese tasted water down, and my fried chicken burger came out cold. The other people with me said their burgers were ok but also came out cold. It wasn't worth the wait.

  • Kurt P.

    My friend was at Green Dot last night. He ordered a Two James Vodka and Coke. He did not like the taste of the Two James so he sent it back and ordered a different vodka. When he got his bill, they still charged him for the Two James and the replacement drink, which is ridiculous. This was a management decision and they have now lost a good potential customer. He loved the food, as do I, but he will never go back. Shame on the management team, you just lost a potential customer and one who has brought his work team there several times.

    Been here a number of times. At first, it was our new favorite place ti eat. Great food most of the time and the mystery meats are usually inventive. The last time we went everything was horrible. We had been taking our friends there to show them how good it is and had to explain to her this must have been an off night. Kale salad was salty salty salty. Slow super slow service for how empty the place was. And the mac and cheese was watery and bland. It's an alright place to be though.

    Great Place to eat and DRINK! Only reason it does not get the 5th star is because you can not eat outside. Other than that the place is AMAZING all around! I always recommend it to anyone that comes to Detroit.

    Experience from a Saturday night, post-DCFC game, ready for a "hey, we just got our liquor license" drink and a handful of these legendary sliders I kept hearing so much about. No disappointments. Green Dot might be a little off the downtown beaten path (Oh, no worries cab driver, I'll just bring up Google map for you........................d'oh), but of course, worth it. Extra points for a lit parking lot. The atmosphere is warm, wooden, and equestrian themed. Fill this with a hundred starving and thirsty footy fans and you've got yourself one hell of an ambiance. Plenty of tables, booths, and bar stools are available. However on this night it was mostly standing room. On to the food and drink. Drink! Two hearty vodka tonics and a ControversiALE on tap = $9. Wait...........what? So apparently sliders aren't the only deal of the day at this establishment. Food! We found a happy little corner for ourselves and began what would become a night long taste test. :::Intermission::: OooOoo, foosball table! Back to food! Maybe it was the size of the crowd, but on this particular night Green Dot was serving a limited menu. No worries, every fry save for one was available, and all the staple favorite sliders were as well. The cheeseburger is melt-in-your-mouth perfect. Order two then be prepared to order one more. The BCT is Bacon-Cucumber-Tomato Jam-Aioli. Green Dot boasts quality ingredients, so even the damn cucumber was delightful. My bacon wasn't as crisp as I would have liked, but bacon is bacon and regardless I enjoyed it. The fries. Oh my, the fries. Here is my recommendation. Bring a group, and ordered everything. Seriously. By the end of the night we had tried almost every fry option. They're petite and crispy, bursting with flavor, and then bursting with even more flavor as the ingredients become more diverse. I favored the Truffle and Herb and the Le Poutine choices. By the end of the night we'd settled into an available booth, started our second meal, and moved on to the better liquor (whopping $5 each). I thank Green Dot for being so accommodating to a bunch of futbol fans. The service was quick, the food spot-on, and the TV viewing appropriately set to different match highlights. Till next time!

    Love. This is Detroit gold. Sure, there have been nights when I've waited on line a few minutes. Sure, sometimes my $3 drink is a little less than what I had hoped for. Sure, I wish my chest was bigger. You can't have it all but you can sure enjoy the magic that is GDS. Overall, this is a fantastic find, full of savory delights and fun, without emptying your wallet! If you haven't gone yet, what are you waiting for?? Let's go!!

    Favorite place I've found in Detroit. Sliders on the menu are incredibly diverse, and each one I've tried has been as tasty as I could ask for. Their poutine fries are incredible too, and the mystery meat I tried was duck and orange sauce, and it was by far my favorite. Friendly staff, interesting and incredible food, and an experience of a meal. Must try.

    I'll add to the torrent of accolades that Green Dot gets. The atmosphere is nice, dimly lit, tables maybe a bit too close together but that's a minor gripe. I had two sliders, the black bean and the Cuban. The flavors of the Cuban melded together exquisitely. The black bean was also very tasty. Service was fast and efficient as this place gets very busy. I'll be back.

  • Thomas P.

    What a spot! 5/5 on food, 4/5 on price. You may think that it can't be that expensive with pretty much everything being 3 dollars, but man, does it add up quick. I ordered mac and cheese (amazing), a beer (something local, was good), a cocktail (ehh), a few sliders (the korean one was great, loved the peanut butter, the lamb one was great, the fried chicken with syrup was great), split some fries or something and had an amazing s'more, and ended up with about a 30$ bill. Its like tapas, you get a bunch of small things, only to be like wow, that added up quickly at the end. You only live once, and I'm only here for a short time, so I'm not going to be a regular, but it was great food and worth the visit. Only downsides are price and how fast it rises as well as lack of windows. It's pretty dark inside. I wish they would serve food outside.

    I don't suggest going here unless you have no life and plenty of spare time on your hands. We went on a weekday. Waited 1 hour to get seated & once we finally ordered, it took 45 minutes to get sliders. So basically a 2 hour wait to get sliders. That is just ridiculous. Who on earth has time for that?

  • Kasey K.

    I enjoyed everything I ordered! The wedge salad was delicious and super fresh. The bacon on top was the best I have ever had and crispy. The sliders were delicious! Unique and not your typical slider. The mystery meat is a must! Just get it! It has never let me down! Quinoa slider was a bit dry like it needed something but I still destroyed it anyways lol. I will be back again on Saturday after I hit up the eastern market! Oh and love the cheap cocktails! Doesn't taste like a cheap drink at all. Bartenders were super friendly and helpful. Made my drink just how I like it! Thanks green dot!!! Brought friends last time and they are hooked! Wanting more!!

    My love for this place has grown over the past few times I've been here. You just have to get the hang of it. It can be packed, so come early, or go late. Not a place for huge groups, so have some decency and throw your birthday/bachelorette/ugly sweater party somewhere else. I love the simplicity of the menu and the ability to eat as you go and not order a huge, over-portioned meal and have no room for drinks. Love the vibe, wish it was closer to my house!

  • Angela S.

    The sliders are good and the drinks are pretty cheap - but it's ALWAYS packed. Not a bad thing for the restaurant, but definitely a bad thing for an impatient, hangry person like me. We try to go here quite often to get our favorites, the Korean slider and the Venison Chili Cheese fries, but we've only successfully snagged a table and a meal 2 or 3 times. Go, but be prepared to wait.

    Great old school bar vibe, great service, AWESOME food, and tasty craft beers! I had the wild Boar, fried chicken, and cheeseburger sliders and washed it down with a "Ghetto Blaster" from Motor City Brewing. It all made for a great first meal in Detroit.

    I really didn't want to like this place. From the reviews and the sense that this was an over-hyped hipster hangout, I was prepared to eat my sliders and give it a lousy review. and then I went inside. I immediately took a big sigh at what was a very subdued, welcoming place. It was full but not crazy. Quite a diverse crowd and everybody seemed to be enjoying their own business and all seemed quite content. I took a seat at the bar and was welcomed by both bartenders, the latter of which handed me the menu after taking my drink order. The specials were explained to me and I decided I liked the sound of mystery meat right away, so I ordered that, along with the Fish, the Korean, and the chicken. I added a side of cajun fries The "mystery meat" was this really great slightly spicy, nicely smokey sausage topped with a passion fruit BBQ sauce and great slaw. That was my first green dot bite and it was fantastic. I polished that baby off The Fish was fantastic. Perfectly fried ( and quite huge ) crunchy, hot flaky piece of fish. The tartar sauce was copious. I had to scoop off a bit, but it was delicious. Nice dill flavor. The fried chicken reminded me of the chicken fried steak patties I was served in elementary school. That's not a bad thing, I loved those smashed fried chicken patties. It was just a tad on the dry side, but the flavor was all there. Then I was hit with the maple syruppy goodness. MMMMMMMM. Nice! Last but not least was the korean. This was really really tasty. I didn't get the sauce flavor fully till the second bite but what a nice surprise, with this peanutty creamy beautiful deliciousness. The fries were nice, a bit overloaded with the seasoning but that's OK. I felt quite stuffed after 4 sliders. So I came prepared to be underwhelmed and I was very pleasantly surprised. The food is creative and delicious. The service at the bar was great I stand corrected and I will definately return for an afternoon at the bar when I can sample some of the brews before trying out more selections

    I can understand what the hype is about and a few of my sliders were good. But, they are on hot dog buns cut in half and that cheapens it for me. Buy some real sliders buns. The service is great, the place is very clean and the variety is awesome, BUT you would drop a $20 on lunch once you have 4-5 sliders and a drink + tip. Worth the effort, but not the price/bun.

    Saddle up your horse because you are going to want to eat here when in town!! Green Dot Stables is a Thoroughbred! Just venture down Lafayette towards Corktown and you will find a great new lunch spot.... They focus on all different kinds of sliders...and they get very creative too! I ordered a ton because I loved the menu sooo much and when everything-yes everything is either 2 or 3 dollars why not?! They are only open 11-3 until they get their liquor license....which should be soon. And all mixed drinks and craft beers will be between 2 and three dollars as well. WOW! Nice big winding bar, Foosball table and I hear they are going to play a lot of soccer on the tube. A local artist did a mural that leads to the bathrooms. Sides: I started with the cucumbers served with creme fraiche, shallots and vinegar. Nice and refreshing. You dip the cucumber into the creme fraiche (and there is a ton). The table across from me sat three young residents from Henry Ford and I over heard them loving the salad. Sides part 2: They will be changing the noodles in the mac and cheese next week because they are using the same noodles as Slows currently. However they do not use a bechemel sauce. Sliders: I had the Korean-peanut butter and The Brinery's (a great zymologist out of a2, can be found at Eastern Market) Kim Chi and a perfectly cooked beef patty. Yum! Sweet and Spicy. I also had the curried chicken- chicken breast topped with curried cauliflower, onions and orange. Very good!! Next up was the BCT- Bacon, cucumber, tomato jam and aioli. Very, very good.....never thought to add cucumber to a bacon sandwich, but it makes complete sense. A little heat to the tomato jam-which was divine. Then I had the Bologna slider-grilled onions and grilled bologna. I enjoyed all of the sliders and would order all of them again. Mel, my very attentive server said her favorites change-however she loves the Korean and then BBQ Bacon, which has pureed sweet potato. Now, that does sound tasty! Mystery Meat was Buffalo today. I am very much looking forward to trying many others...like Au Poivre-Beef,Peppercorns,Cognac Aioli and Lamb with Rosemary hummus and Hot Brown -Chicken,Mornay,Bacon. Sliders part 2: I went back again and had the BCT again....still great! Could really taste the herb aioli this time. I also had the Hot Brown. It was good, could not really taste the Mornay sauce. The BBQ Bacon was GREAT! The BBQ sauce was spicy (perhaps sirracha) and the sweet potato puree balanced it out nicely. The Korean was as good as last time (however I took most of it home). Loved that Melanie (my server complimented my order and said you can never have enough bacon! I also overheard her say that she likes the smores) The ower I assumed stopped by to chat too....love that! He asked if it was my first time, how did he not recognize the duchess (jk). Fries: Did I mention I got a box and took two of my sliders home (trying to save face and not look completely piggy)...because I also had the Le Poutine. I have been dying to try poutine!!!! Green Dot has the best thin cut super crispy fries!!! They even stay crisp drenched in gravy. I hear they source the cheese curds locally-however the cheese looked more like queso fresco than cheese curds. It was really, really tasty. I cannot speak on if it was authentic or not...Big bonus they also have truffle and herb, malt vinegar, venison chili, cajun, and America's crack-ranch. They were some of the best fries I have ever had. Fries part 2: Truffle herb fries....SUPER GOOD! The make a mean skinny fry here. Some potato skin still on. Super crisp. The truffle oil was not over used....really, really tasty! Desert: All three sounded great! Cheesecake, smore and fried plantains!!! The lady's room is painted purple and has a bunch of cute, eclectic mirrors all over the walls....super cute! I bless the owners for leaving Cali to open up this gem! I see a green delivery truck in the parking lot.....it would be perfect for a food truck....I'm hoping great minds think alike and its in the works.

    Awesome and unique sliders! Although there was a bit if a wait, there was a heated patio area with picnic tables. We waiting for about 45 minutes, which in my opinion wasn't that bad. The food was awesome! My husband ordered the mystery meat which was a Kobe hot dog. I ordered the Korean slider which was so good if you love Korean food. There was a little bit of peanut butter which sounds so weird with kimchi but it was delicious! I also got the BBQ bacon slider which was so good. I can't wait until we go there again! I would probably go for an early dinner next time.

    Don't see the outside of this restaurant and turn away! Perfect fun casual meal in Detroit! Loved the fried chicken sliders and great assortment of others we tried!! I would like a better desert option but it was really an outstanding, fun place- loved it!!

    I had to go to Detroit for a month and a half for work. I asked some of my friends what they would recommend around the Detroit area, and a friend recommended this place. A few of my coworkers and I went after a long day and left fully satisfied. I should probably preface that I have been here twice so I don't seem like a *total* fatass. The second time I raved about it to my boyfriend and took him and his friend. Coney Dog: meh. Probably won't order again. Poutine: decent. Probably won't order again - will stick to the regular fries. Cheeseburger: good. The basic staple of burger. Simple and delicious. Buffalo Chicken: good, great if you like bleu cheese. Regular fries: great. They're fries. Not much more to say. Fried chicken: great. I love that it came with maple syrup. BBQ Bacon: great. Probably my favorite permanent menu item. Mystery meat: fricking awesome. When I was there the second time, it was kangaroo, which was just delicious. The first time I think it was some sort of lamb, which I wasn't feeling at the time. $2 bottles: awesome. Both times I was there, it was fairly packed. However, the service was good and it was as though the waiters never stopped moving. I downed about 4 burgers and fries each time. The burgers are smaller - slider size - so be mindful of that when you order. Don't be put off by the neighborhood...I know I was at first when our hotel shuttle was driving us. A true gem in the city of Detroit, and it will be well worth going back.

    This place has a solid selection of beer, and a huge variety for food so long as you like sliders. I like small plates in general so it just happened to be a good fit for me. The kale salad it good, and they always have a special burger for the day which could be hit or miss. There is a smore slider which is cute, but it's the same regular bun that they use for all the sliders. Still cute, and kitschy. I agree with other reviewers that it'd a bit divey, a bit busy, but I always seem to get lucky and seated right away, and I thought the service was great. I would come here with friends and groups. It's great because picky bird-like eaters can order one or two things, and big appetites can order a dozen sliders (or more! no limit so reach for the sky), it's totally up to you! I like that versatility.

    Great food and beer. The atmosphere is nice too. Makes you feel like you are in an old pub. The customer service was exceptional. I have not been treated that well in a long time. Expect to wait at least 30 min with a larger group at lunch.

    Went for the first time on Thursday. I was a little put off by the hostess at first but then warmed up to her once we chatted. The place is a little funky with a 1970's dive bar-ish feel to it. Enjoyed a few o the sliders and loved the chili fries. The pulled pork slider left much to be desired. Our server was fab and very friendly. Cant wait to return.

  • Ken D.

    THis place is always busy and for a good reason. It has delicious food. The parking situation could be a little better and it's a bit off the beaten path but worth the hike. It's my second favorite slider place.

  • Raphie B.

    I've heard the hype, so I was curious. I then heard the hype about the vegetarian options, so I made a visit happen. My husband is a die-hard meat-eater, so any restaurant that can please him and offer me more than a selection of side dishes is worth a shot. And we gave it a serious shot. I feel like we ordered a million things, but in reality we didn't have much more than anyone around us. The veggie side of the table had: The tempeh and black bean sliders: The tempeh was great, but the black bean felt a little dry. I did opt to leave off the tomato, but I can't imagine a slice of tomato makes or breaks the sandwich. My husband opted for: The fried bologna (he added cheese), and the ham and cheese. He wasn't overly enthralled with either, but he ate every last bite.The bologna was really thick cut, for whatever that's worth. Curiously, his option to add cheese cost him $1. No big deal, except... his only cheese option was velveeta. They have several kinds of cheese but our server was very emphatic that the kitchen ONLY allowed the addition of velveeta. This seems downright stupid. If we're paying for the cheese, why on earth don't we have the option of any of the cheeses you have in house? But I digress... for sides we went with the truffle fries, the quinoa/kale salad, and the mac and cheese. The truffle fries are thin cut and crispy as all get out. So good. Seriously amazing. There's a reason why people are raving about them. The kale/quinoa salad should have been a hit, since I love quinoa and kale and lemon dressing, but it missed the mark. I'd skip it next time. The mac and cheese was good. Not great, but worth getting if you're in the mood. We went a little nuts and tried all 4 desserts on offer. The dark chocolate cheesecake was ok.The raspberry sauce was the highlight for me. The smore was ok, (the cinnamon was a nice addition) but odd served on the same bun as my other sliders (though toasted), and the fluffer nutter was somehow bland (maybe only in comparison), served on the same bun. The dessert highlight was the apple cake. It was nice and moist. I'd go for it again. I finished off with the "coffee drink" which was warm and delicious. All in all, it was decent. I'm not raving about the place, but I'd go again for sure. My super picky husband, who's "eh" about just about every place we ever go, said he'd come back, so for him, that's a rave.

    Went for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon with a friend (about 2) and it was about 3/4's full. We seated ourselves and our waiter came right over with drink & food menus. They have a good and interesting selection of sliders, same for the beers, and some good choices for sides. I love that everything is $3, that is a great price for a glass of wine or a micro-brew beer and it makes sorting out the bill really easy. The food was delicious, we tried the hummus, the kale salad, truffle fries, the hot brown, the corned beef (super yummy), and the lamb slider. I would recommend them all. I had a Darkhorse Raspberry Ale - another good choice. I can't wait to go back and try all the other selections. I liked the atmosphere - very easy going and friendly, and the waitstaff was attentive. Some have complained about the size of the sliders and sides - such as the fries, but I thought you got a lot of food for the money, I was stuffed. The fries were delicious and I thought it was a good size serving as a side - this isn't McDonald's, these are truffle fries, they're not going to be a $1. I had 2 sliders, a side of fries and a beer for $12. That is not expensive!

    The selections of sliders is outstanding. The beverage selection is superb. The bill is ridiculously small in comparison to other places...and you truly get your money's worth here. I have a few select favorites from the menu but of all my recommendation is the tempeh burger. It's mouth-watering grilled flavor topped with wasabi mayo and a delectable seaweed salad is out of this world. Of course, the standard cheeseburger and gyro are just as fantastic. There is something here for everyone--even a pb&j slider! I cannot rave enough about this place. Oh wait--yes I can: Then there's the drink selections I mentioned. An array that can please any pallet whether it's beer, a mixed cocktail, or a shot. My favorite thing about this place is the "mystery" selections. They always have a mystery meat (they'll tell you what it is, don't worry), a mystery cocktail, and a mystery shot. For roughly $3 a slider or $3 a drink...you just can't go wrong. I promise! My future husband and I just visited this place two nights ago spent just over $40 for an enormous amount of food and drink. Go there! Enjoy yourself!

    Brilliant. Low key vibe, delicious sliders, cheap drinks. Mystery meat is always a good option as is the Korean and fried bologna. Something for everyone.

  • Alysia C.

    The sliders are decent and the prices are awesome. I love the creativity with the menu but I was highly disappointed with the bun. If I'm eating a delicious piece of meat, I don't want a floppy wonderbread-like bun on top of it. I'd love to see them use something with a little bit higher quality. I'd even pay an extra amount of money to get a better bun. It really just ruined the whole experience. Also, truffle fries are yum.

    My husband recommended Green Dot one day after he went there for lunch. When my husband told me that he and a bunch of lawyers had lunch there I was a little weary I was walking into someplace way to fancy for us to take our 10 month old and not annoy the world. However, I was so thankful that we went, baby and all. First off, the food was awesome and the staff was super cool about everything. As noted from previous reviews I love anywhere that I can order a wide array of food because variety is the spice of life, right? Together we have downed most of the menu over multiple visits. My favorites include the Korean with its strange yet amazing peanut butter and kimchee combination, the PB&J, buffalo chicken, hot brown, and coney. In addition, the truffle fries and cucumber salad are both amazing. Plus, who can beat dirt cheap drinks. Just a note, the place books up FAST. Luckily with an infant we eat at the same time as my grandparents, but trying to get a seat after 6:30 on the weekend can be tough.

  • Ashley H.

    Oh this place is so cool! I just love that it has a style all its own and isn't trying to be like any of the other restaurants out there. At first I'd say their concept is simple--great beers and cocktails and a list of sliders and sides to choose from. But these aren't just any sliders. They're gourmet, each with its own unique flavor profile. And there are so many to choose from! Then good luck choosing just one side. There are seven (seven!) types of fries alone! My favorite were the truffle and herb fries. The surroundings are very casual and clean with friendly servers (and owners) to help you sort through all the options. Lastly, after a couple refreshing Shorts drafts, three sliders, and a side of fries my bill was only $18! I can't wait to come back!

  • Alexus W.

    Sliders does not compare anywhere else! This place found a huge opportunity in a niche market by serving creative sliders! The price is awesome and the food is delicious. The food is made fresh and has tons of flavor. My favorite thus far is the catfish slider. When I arrived at 11am for lunch, it was empty. Around 11:30am there was a long line of people waiting for an open seat. I ate 4 different sliders with fries and still desire to try the other sliders out of curiosity. Definitely a hidden gem in Detroit that is worth attending!

  • M V.

    I can not believe it took me so long to visit this place. Amazing sliders and sides. As crazy as it sounds, with trying almost everything on the menu, my fav is the bologna! The perfect place when you are not sure what you are craving. Love the poutine fries too!

  • Emine S.

    Let's be honest here. The best thing about this place is everything is under $3. I love it! It's where my coworkers and I come every Friday to drink away our week's worth of work. The customer service is mediocre. The two hour limit is a pain, but I guess with drinks being so cheap you have to get people out somehow. Yet, a lot of the servers have a fake pretensious vibe about them. The food is okay. I like the house salad, Tempe burger, and buffalo chicken burger. The portions are extremely small so don't go there hungry.

    I edited my first review. Sometimes when you wait too long it screws up your thought process. Went to Green Dot again after the afternoon Tiger game yesterday. I guess when I see all 5 stars I am expecting way too much..andI always try to judge a place on what it is trying to be..not against fine dining and Ruth Chris. Green Dot is what it is. A small..old bar that has a variety of sliders and cheap drinks. When it is busy expect to wait quite a while on your food,,but with 2 dollar bottle beer who cares right? The sliders were good, fires were small cut and crisp and the beer was cheap...and the place was packed!! I do think they miss the boat by not serving food outside. There is an abundance of picnic tables and outdoor seating that you can drink at..but no food. I am happy to see any place in Detroit thrive.... Is the little bartender who looks like Prince the owner?

    Yummy fries and corned beef slider. Service is not awesome when they are busy (which is most times) but it's understandable given the size of the place and the demand. Check it out on off nights and you'll be happy!

    (4.5 Stars) Recently went back over the weekend and am happy to say they are still getting it done... We sat at the bar on the upper lever, I was fighting a cold and was happy that the bartender could make me a hot toddy. Started off dinner with a great mushroom broth, a crzy good chicken spaetzel soup & a side salad b/w the us. Mystery meat was a crab cake, I paired it with the lamb, fried chicken sliders & of course the truffle oil infused fries. (Word of warning the fried chicken is a bit messy b/c of the 'sauce') Dinner ended with a slice of their awesome chocolate cheese cake! So why a 4.5 instead of a 5.0, the service. Now to be fair it was hella busy on the Sunday night but our server spent a lil too much time trynna be mack (he was all up in these two girls ears) and that delayed our bill. (yeah yeah yeah Its a bit petty but no mac & cheese that night, a 5 is a 5 ) All in all I would say you must go here if you're in Detroit, passing by Detroit. Such a well run business with a lot of charachter. The people that are working around this restaurant represent a big part of the city's future!

    Great prices! Trendy spot and Usually a very busy place. Make sure your whole party is present before they seat you. I love the cheeseburger & buffalo chicken sliders. It's located off the beaten path but they have a private lot and the patio is really nice and big with a great view.

    holy hell what a place. $3 specialty cocktails, $3 wine, $2 bottled beer, $3 drafts. seasonal and local. $2 and $3 food items (all of them). vegetarian friendly sliders and sides. non pretentious environment, outside tables for takeout dining. you'll just have to see it to believe it. right now.

  • Kalyn M.

    Very unique, awesome for low-key hanging out, food was very good quality and creative recipes. My friend and I shared the kale salad (excellent), truffle and herb fries (excellent), tempeh slider (excellent), quinoa slider (decent) and catfish slider (pretty good). Please note: sliders are their thing. They have a few other things, a couple salads, soups, appetizers and desserts but mostly sliders. My friend and I wandered in here after seeing the high yelp reviews and weren't disappointed but definitely were looking for more than sliders at the moment.

    (4)

  • Chelcie W.

    I've heard a lot about Green Dot Stables different sliders and was very excited to try a few, but for some reason that day I just wanted a plain ol' slider, with cheese. Their menu has meat, vegetarian and vegan options which is a plus in my book and means I could come here with my meat-eating friends and still be able to eat something too! I ordered regualr fries and two blackbean sliders, but instead of a tomato slice and avacado sour cream, I wanted cheese, grilled onions and pickles (sometimes you just want what the heart wants). My waitress then informed me that substitutions aren't really allowed, but made the exception for me anyway. When my sliders came to the table I was surprised to see that the patty was entirely made up of beans, and bean filling. The taste wasn't at all terrible, I suppose it was just different, but again not in a bad way. The fries were crunchy and sprinkled with sea salt but I meant to try the truffle and herb fries! So now I have to go back, as if I wasn't already going to ; )

  • Erin K.

    This place is quaint and cozy and reminds me of my grandma's basement. I like that everything is a tiny portion so you can taste a bunch of menu items at once and the prices are reasonable. One slider I ordered that I would HIGHLY recommend is the corned beef slider with sauerkraut, pickles and a mustard aioli. It was so good the sauce made me want to say lame things like "this sauce is on point;" it was so good! When I go back, I will probably get a couple of those. My boyfriend got the breakfast slider of the day, egg with chorizo and I would definitely recommend that one as well. I also ordered the Zug Island Iced Tea (Scotch, triple sec, raspberry tea, lemonade and bay leaf) and he ordered the Moscow Mule (ginger beer, lime, vodka) both were great and definitely a good deal at $3 each. However, this place gets crowded fast, so coming at an off time might be the best for your first visit just to get in the door.

  • Christine S.

    AGAIN another phenomenal trip here. Whilst being downtown for the Auto Show, I insisted that my husband needed to try this place and I secretly wanted to sample more food under the guise that this was our Anniversary dinner (not the most romantic place) but it will do. I finally got to sit at the cool end of the bar, the part that curves around with the thick comfy chairs. I chose the Corned Beef, the Gyro, and my all time fave, the Catfish. I absolutely loved, loved, loved them all along with the Venison Chili Cheese Fries and dessert, the Smore-gooey cinnamon nutella fluff..Ohhhhhh delicious. The bartenders were outstanding and the drinks were as well. The Moscow Mule, Dark Horse Raspberry Ale, and loving the $3 Final Absolution. I can't say enough good things about this place.

  • Enice A.

    My hopes were set pretty high on this place after reading all the reviews here. Honestly I was a little let down. My boyfriend and I came on a Saturday afternoon after walking the Riverwalk on a hot day. Rather than dwell on the less than stellar exterior aesthetic of this place, I will just focus on the food. It was just okay. I REALLY wanted to like this place a lot. The variety of sliders, and the fact that it's the only thing on the menu make this place unique. However the actual taste of them is really just average. They are sliders so they are pretty tiny. Even though they're cheap, you will end up spending more because they don't fill you up. And we had to wait an EXTREMELY long time for our food. It really wasn't all that busy, and we waited about 30-40 minutes... for sliders at that! Bummer. I say if you're just looking for a snack this is a cool place to hook up with friends and chat away to pass the time waiting for your food. But if you're looking for a nice filling meal and to enjoy the ambiance look elsewhere. A neat place though!

  • Neha M.

    I was extremely excited to try this restaurant based on the reviews I read, but I'm sad to say I'm disappointed. We tried a total of 6 separate sliders and the best one, which we both really liked, was the Korean. The other ones were just okay. I did really enjoy the mac and cheese and the truffle fries. I just had such high expectations that the restaurant didn't meet.

    I try to go here every time I'm in Detroit. Great sliders and fries, great beer selection, and a good value. The atmosphere is really nice, too, with the divey decor and the open kitchen. I've noticed that's it's become really busy over the past few years, and it usually takes a while to get a table. It's always worth the wait, though.

    I won't spend much time on this review, as there are over 150 others. I will just say that this is now a fav spot on the Detroit rotation. My picks are the Chicken Paprikas soup, it's creamy and lightly seasoned in a wonderfully home-made way; the Gyro slider which is served with a perfectly ample dallop of gyro sauce; the fresh cucmbers served with a rich, garlicky dip. The servers are great, food comes out hot and fast, and even if you order everything on the menu, you will come away feeling like you got a huge steal.

    Great place in downtown Detroit. Can get a little busy at peak times, but the staff is great and so is the food. The kale salad, truffle fries and the corned beef sliders are amazing. I didn't have their desserts this time and haven't seen many people order them, but don't be afraid to try them. This place also has $2 and $3 bottles and some great drinks too!

    HANDS DOWN: BEST RESTAURANT IN DETROIT! This place is so, so fun. Most things on the menu are three dollars and have a very high deliciousness to quality ratio. The staff and energy at this place are also great. The simple cheeseburger slider is delicious as was the kimchee burger. GO HERE!!

    Awesome, chill bar. It has an old-timey feel to it, thanks to all the dark wood everywhere (including the very hard booth benches). I had a $3 draft beer, which was delicious. I loved that all of the beers on tap were Michigan beers. I also liked not having to pay too much for a beer. The boyfriend noted that the mugs were smaller than your usual pint glass, but this was perfect for me. More room in my stomach for sliders! The sliders were fun to eat, and the buns were soft but substantial at the same time (I hate it when a bun gets smashed easily!). My favorite was definitely the BBQ Bacon (beef patty, sweet potato, barbecue sauce, and a generous amount of bacon). The Hot Brown (chicken breast, Mornay sauce, and bacon) was pretty good but not my favorite. The chicken, while tender, was on the salty side. The Mornay sauce (Bechamel + cheese) was fine. The bacon was the high point. The Buffalo Chicken (bleu cheese spread, buffalo sauce, celery) was kind of disappointing since the chicken was tough. The Korean (beef patty, kimchi, and peanut butter) was NOT good, in my opinion. People seem to say good things about it in Yelp reviews, but I thought that peanut butter was a really bizarre and scary addition to a perfectly good beef patty and tasty kimchi. I guess they were going for a sesame sauce type of flavor, but it was too sweet and weird and just doesn't work as well as sesame sauce/paste would have. Also, there was so much peanut butter, and it was so hot and melty, that it overpowered everything else and I could taste nothing but peanut butter. It was really weird eating a beef slider that had the texture of beef but didn't taste like beef at all. Not for me, sorry! Both the Truffle and Herb fries and the Poutine were awesome. I could've scarfed down three or four orders of the poutine. It was so addictive. What's not to love about gravy on fries? Note: Don't come here when you're absolutely starving. You will spend $18 on food (5 sliders and a fry) and still feel like your stomach is a bottomless pit. But if you are in the mood for a variety of snacks and drinks, then this is your place!

    I hate trendy places. I don't have the patience for lines, and I don't want to feel like I am lucky to be eating somewhere. The true test was taking my husband, who can't stand hip places. He loved it. The service, selection and prices were great. Chili cheese fries were the hit of the day. We also had some cocktails. They were great. The proprietors obviously love their work. As trendy as this place is, the ambience is welcoming. I have had the mystery meat both times I have been there, and they were our favorite each time.

    There are so many good things about Green Dot...and that's why it's always busy in the evening. I agree with most of the other reviews, the sliders are unique and delicious with fresh ingredients; the truffle fries and the poutine are amazing; the drinks are decently priced; the kale and quinoa salad is crisp and perfect; the harnass-racing atmosphere is unique and interesting; and there's a good mixed crowd. All different kinds of people. What I really like about Green Dot is that I can go in with friends for a few drinks. If we get a little hungry, we can order a slider or two and they'll come out quickly. Have some more drinks. Order some truffle fries. Have some coffee. Order dessert. It's all so good and decently priced and portioned almost like tapas. I highly recommend that you try the Mystery Meat slider, no matter what it is. It will always be interesting. Being close to where I live is an added bonus.

    First, the prices here are great! You can't beat sliders for $2-4, and drinks for $3. The BBQ slider is great, it has a little bit of sweet potato in it which is a nice surprise. I've also tried the Au Poivre, which is nice and peppery. The inside of the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere, and it's a fun place to go with big groups.

    A windowless bar in an industrial park. Not the most promising locale for some of the best comfort food in central Detroit. Yet Green Dot Stables delivers. Once your'e inside you realize several things simultaneously. This place has a history. 40+ years have apparently been seen in this bar, which has a decidedly 1960s feel. Hipsters abound. Detroit's version of hipster fashion is present everywhere. Lots of beards and tattoos among the wait staff. It's popular. 5pm on a Saturday and we waited 45 minutes for a table. People were waiting 3 deep at the bar area. Once you are fortunate enough to get a table you'll find a menu cheaper than you'll find in a fast food restaurant. Every beer is $2 or $3. Every slider is $3. Sides are $2-3. Only the whiskey menu has prices that climb close to $10 and then only for a few labels. I think we spent about $30 each here and we splurged and were generous. Definitely a foodie bargain. As for the sliders, I'd recommend the fried chicken (preferred it to the buffalo chicken), the Korean slider (peanut butter and kimchee? It worked believe it or not), and the Tempeh. The fries are tasty as are the cucumbers and kale salad. Also be sure to ask about the mystery meat. Plenty of beers to choose from - ask your server for recommendations and don't forget to check the chalk board near the kitchen for off-menu libations. Definitely worth the trip.

    Ate here last night. Sliders were ok. I liked the selection and creativity of their menu. On the down side: 1. I know the ppl working here are young, but MAJOR attitude is unnecessary! I live in Detroit down the street and they acted so rude I was going to leave without eating. Put yourselves in check and smile and greet a paying customer like you care were here patronizing your business!! 2. The person behind the bar started to clean the floor mats right in front of us JUST after our food arrived. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Who didn't train these employees? I will give this place another try but if the same, they can keep their sliders, I'm slipping on down to respect, good food & no attitude! Many new restaurants opening in Corktown by 2014 I don't have a limited selection!

    "Give me all your sliders all your french fries too" - ZZ Top When I first heard about this place I thought, 'meh, it can't be that good'. The idea of sliders that weren't burgers didn't do it for me. Don't get me wrong, I've had chicken sliders but what I had heard about Green Dot was that these weren't just sliders. They were a modern take on sliders. A different kind of little burger. So I thought, this must be a gimmick to get people into a place that can't possibly be that good. I was wrong. So wrong in fact that I wish I had went sooner. I came here with my gal pal... on our way to the Auto Show. We were starving and had this place on the radar for months now. From the parking lot you might think of this joint as a dive bar but once you get inside you're in for a nice surprise. The decor has some notes of it's horse stable past and the open floor makes for a relaxing atmosphere. Wait I can't eat atmosphere! Get to the sliders! Hell yeah sliders! I opted for the Cuban, Buffalo Chicken, Fried Chicken and Hot Brown. With a side of truffle & herb freedom fries. I devoured them all and then ordered an extra Fried Chicken topped with bacon. Holy slider that was awesome. First off the chicken sliders were all fresh, white meat chicken. No nasty veins, fat pieces or weird dark spots. They were just juicy pieces of chicken and the fried ones were very crispy and flavorful. Surround them in a soft pillow-ey bun and you got yourself a meal. A meal of a deal at that. I'm excited for my next visit here and can't help but think what other sliders I'm missing that might be just outside of my comfort zone. With excellent food and Michigan brews on tap, this is the kind of place that Detroit can be proud of.

    I came here with a friend on a Saturday afternoon, before we were to catch a concert downtown. The walk from downtown is a bit of a stretch, but if you have good company, it's certainly worth it. Besides what's cooler than telling people you're hardcore and walking around in downtown Detroit ? We got there and we had no trouble finding a seat - noticeably there was an eclectic mix of folk, hipster guys&girls, blue collared locals, and a few scattered tables with all kinds of different people with different skin colours and backgrounds. There is a quality selection of local draft beers always on tap, and the $3 food menu has a variety of good items that would please everyone from a carnivore to a vegan. By the time we finished our 2nd drink, the place was packed and people were lined up out the door. The music was a good mix of an indie-surf-rock affair. The energy was good, it would be an ideal place to bring a date, or someone you're trying to get to know better.

    I feel a little bad giving Green Dot Stables a 3-star review, because I know many people who LOVE the sliders there. But for non-meat eaters, you need to know... the experience will be different for you. My husband and I generally do not eat red or white meat. The options are lessened quite a bit at a slider place when you eliminate the meat. We had a cheese slider and the homemade black bean slider, but both were underwhelming. The owners and staff are super helpful and nice. I recommend any carnivore to stop by and fill up! But if you're a veg, stop by for a beer and some fries and then head over to Seva for some excellent vegetarian fare.

    I think this was our favorite place to eat in Detroit. It's kinda in the middle of nowhere (or is that Detroit thing?), but the sliders were really good. Reminded me of glorified white castles (excuse me for using that comparison. HEAVY emphasis on the glorified part). Their selection was truly interesting. They had korean-inspired sliders with Kimchi and another Vietnamese one with some vietnamese sausage. Did not expect that at all in a place that looks like a.. well.. stable. The service as cool and casual. I enjoyed our meal there a lot.

    One of my Detroit favorites. A group of us came out for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night. The wait was long and the place was packed, but it was worth it. I think between the seven of us we may have tried every slider on the menu. Some were good, most were fantastic. The truffle and herb fries were delicious, and I can't wait to try the poutine. When the bill came for the table and it was under a benjamin, I was stunned. The only slight knock I can give is the location. After dinner, we found our car and the vehicle next to it had been broken into. Ours was just tossed, but the other car's rear window was broken and the owner mentioned they took some valuables. It's not the first time our car has been broken into in Detroit, but it's still a bummer.

    What a great concept...good beer, different kinds of sliders and fries, and all at a fair price. Unfortunately, the execution is sorely lacking. Sliders were too salty even for salty food. Fries were more like those cheap Planter's potato sticks you get at Walgreen's (iow, don't expect much of any potato). Service was super slow. I easily could have had a 3rd or 4th drink before the food came out, but I was the driver, so I couldn't. And when the food finally did come out, no apology whatsoever. And this was a Wednesday night. Would hate to be here on a weekend.

    I haven't Yelped in awhile but I wanted to put a word in for this spot. Service was great, even though I kept challenging one poor server to battle my friend's beard. I'm so sorry, I wasn't even drunk, I'm just a jerk. Sliders were phenomenal as always - my lumberjack friend referred to them as "sushi," insofar as the small plates and careful composition - gastronomically and visually too. Seriously, that shit's good. The price is right too - we had a few drinks each, a few sliders each and left with a tab well under $50 for the three of us. I think the concept and execution of this place is original and on par with some of dem big city joints too. HIghly recommend Green Dot Stables.

    If you don't find this to be a 5-star establishment, then your hobbies are probably stamp collecting or doing taxes. Everyone loves this place. I take nay-sayers who think Detroit has little to offer, or my out-of-town friends, and everyone eventually comes back for seconds. That's probably why the place is always packed. The restaurant is no doubt sketchy in its placement, but when you walk in, it feels like you've stumbled onto the town's best kept secret. The prices are unbeatable so pick a few items that appeal to you. You can keep ordering and swapping entrees with your buddies like baseball cards. The drinks are delicious as well. Favorite sliders: Korean, Cuban, coney island, BBQ bacon, hot brown, and of course the mystery meat is usually superb. Favorite drinks: summer soda, gin promise, carmel apple. Tips: they won't make individualized checks for each member of the party, but they are happy to split the bill evenly. So that means you should eat up and keep up with your friends!

    Good for sliders of all types including some you wouldn't think of. I just had kangaroo with a kimchi sauce. Very good. Nice beer selection. In a quiet neighborhood and plenty of parking. It has an outdoor patio as well. If however someone in your group doesn't like sliders and such the selection becomes very limited. Try the truffle and herb fries. Holy moley!

    Went here for the first time Friday night after reading the hundreds of positive reviews....now I'm wondering why I had never gone here before. We got lucky that there was an open table for us when we arrived. 20 mins later they were on a 45 min wait. Favorite sliders we tried were the Cuban and BBQ bacon Loved that everything was reasonably priced at $3 and below. Especially the Michigan beer! Definitely will be a regular of this establishment in the future.

    I'm not going to spend a ton of time saying what everyone else says - it's true, Green Dot has some kickass sliders! My personal favorites were the tempeh burger and the Mystery Meat of the day - kangaroo (spiced with cinnamon - perfection!). The truffle fries are bomb and you really can't be the prices - our 4 person party ate until stuffed and each had 2 drinks for under 70 bucks. Green Dot wins my heart for all that. Unfortunately, this review is a 3 star instead of a 5 star because of the service! Yes, I think it's that bad. I understand it's very popular so certain concessions need to be made, but our service experience was pretty disastrous. When we arrived there was a wait (of course) so we put ourselves on the list. Problem number one: it doesn't necessarily matter the order in which you arrived, but rather when a table that perfectly matches the number of people in party opens up. There were several tables that were set for 5 or 6 but we were not allowed to have them despite the fact that we had been waiting for quite a while. Problem number two: there's obviously some favoritism or something going on because the hostess(es) don't follow their own rules. There was a party of 4 that arrived and got on the list after us but got seated long before us. There was also a party of 7 who was seated with only 4 of their party, despite the fact that we were repeatedly told that you could not be seated if everyone was not there. Problem number three: table service. Rushed, unprofessional, and rude. Again, I understand that when you have a small restaurant with a long wait, you need to keep tables turning over, but be reasonable. Also, we were planning to order in stages but the waitress would not allow us to keep even one copy of the food or drink menu at the table because "we might run out." What? And then suddenly she was very hard to track down to order our second round of drinks and sliders! So, long story short, GOOO for the sliders, but be prepared for a terrible time with the wait staff. Hopefully they'll work out the kinks and I'll be able to update to a 5 star sometime soon, because the food is crazy delicious.

    Great sliders. My kids loved the MAc&cheese. The place is very busy and lively atmosphere. The service was quick, we waited about 20 minutes at 5:30pm on a Saturday.

  • Rebecca T.

    Great concept, love the variety of burgers and the prices can't be beat. Plenty of options for adventurous eaters and always something new to try. My one issue though is that they brought out the dessert sliders first, then 10 minutes later, our other sliders, and then the fries came out several minutes later one order at a time. Just save everything and bring it all at once. And by the time we got to the dessert ones, the bun was a little stale. Will definitely be back though, way too many options I missed the first time!

    My husband and I went here for lunch recently- outstanding! Our server was super friendly and really knowledgeable about all the local fare they serve. She offered up suggestions - even when to place our order when it started to get busier. And the sliders were really tasty. For all the pop drinkers - they don't serve the traditional Coke or Pepsi- instead the serve Local "Leonard's Syrup brand. I will suggest if you decide to check this place out during the week for lunch (much like Slow's) get there early ( 11-11:30 am to beat the lunch rush) Enjoy!

    Green Dot Stables is a must visit. My family and I went for lunch after enjoying Eastern Market. It just so happened to be the first time that I brought my little guy to a bar. Luckily, we received the perfect seat in a corner booth. The service was very friendly and efficient, but the food stole the show. Pretty much everything on the menu is $2-$3. I enjoyed a $3 local draft beer and a wonderful array of sliders & sides. The Mystery Meat Slider was camel, and it was pretty good!. The Cuban slider was delicious and Korean slider was excellent. Don't miss the Mac & Cheese, Truffle Fries, or Le Poutine Fries. Overall, I had an outstanding experience. I look forward to my next visit.

    Without the magic of Yelp!, the chances of me ever trying Green Dot Stables would be slim, and probably none. To say this place is "off the beaten" path of downtown Detroit would be quite an understatement, and a few minutes away from the restaurant, I wasn't sure I programmed my GPS correctly. But, once I was parked and took a step inside, I was transported to another world--and I loved it. I felt a very unique charm to this place, almost a warmth upon stepping inside. I had an appreciation for the "horse racing" motif and I was struck by the diversity of the crowd--from hipsters to old couples to regulars to yuppies. No matter what kind of crowd you roll with, chances are you'll feel comfortable here. Now, to the food. I absolutely loved how this place works. Their menu is basically a wide variety of sliders--no, not white castle burgers, but sliders in the sense that they are just small sandwiches. A few side dishes and salads are also mixed throughout, but you'll want to stick with the sliders, and maybe a side of truffle fries. I won't go through everything we ordered (because we ordered a ton--I'd say a typical "grown-ass man" can eat about 4-5 sliders with fries), I will note a few highlights. The "mystery meat" of the night was bison--and it was the best thing I ordered all night--if bison's on the menu--ORDER IT! I was also very impressed with the Korean slider--who would have thought that Kimchi and peanut butter would be so delicious together! Honestly, if it sounds good to you, it probably will be, as everything I had was very quality and usually better than I even expected it to be. Finally, the drinks here are CHEAP!!!! I implore you to order the Moscow Mule, one of the best drinks I've had in awhile...

  • Jon F.

    I have been here more than thirty times and I am never hesitant to enthusiastically return. Once in a rare while, they put together a menu item I don't love, but probably 9 out of 10 times I thoroughly enjoy the mystery meat and a few other menu regulars. Can't get enough of this place. The only negative is that it can be difficult to squeeze a couple seats at the bar at just about any hour. It's nice to live close enough to try again the next day when its too busy.

  • Adonis P.

    Sliders. Very crowded. Tables are poorly laid out which causes congestion when trying to navigate through them. Sliders. Once you finally get seated, service is slow. And it's a bar, so it's pretty noisy. The sliders were good! The selection and the presentation were kind of lackluster but the sliders themselves were great! If you plan on going, get there early or be prepared to wait a while for a small, awkwardly placed table. Did I mention the sliders were awesome?

    Yum. Very fun place to eat. This place specializes in small burgers, which they call sliders but most of us from, and around Detroit know what a REAL slider is so I am just gonna call them little burgers. So me and my boyfriend got six of the burgers to split and an order of fries which made us comfortably full. We got the truffle and herb fries which were amazing. The burgers we got were, the BBQ bacon, the Korean which was amazing ,it had peanut butter on it which made it taste awesome! fried chicken which was like a chicken and waffle kind of idea, it was fried chicken with syrup on it which was super delicious. We got the coney dog which was basically a coney dog on a hamburger, it was nothing to special. We got the gyro which was a gyro on a burger bun so it also was not to special. Then we of course just got their basic cheeseburger but added bacon and that was tasty. One thing to note is you can ask for any burger with out a certain item but you can not add any items besides cheese or bacon for extra cost. They have pretty good beer selection too. A bells brew rotating tap, a shorts brew rotating tap and a couple others. Their beer prices are good. 3 bucks for the shorts bellair brown. The beers are not large though. All and all I recommend this place. It is a fun and good for groups. Also there was a bit of a wait but not that bad for a Saturday. And even tho they were busy my waiter was quick, and on top of things, he checked in on us often. Everything came out hot and fresh.

    Yum! this place is great!!! Honestly I would not have ever found this place if it wasn't for Yelp. Green Dot Stables was one of the restaurants featured at the Yelp event at the Filmore. They were sampling their gyro slider at and I was super impressed with their food so I wanted to try out their regular menu. This is a cute place that would be a great hang out if you want to have a chill night out with your friends...their drinks are very reasonably priced! Here is what I tried at my first visit with ratings. Cuban $3 Rosted Pork Butt-Ham-Mustard-Pickles-Jack Rating: 3/5 BCT $2 Bacon-Cucumber-Tomato Jam-Aioli Rating:5/5 PBJ $2 Chipotle-Raspberry Jam-[VG Rating 4/5 Coney Dog $3 Venison Chili-Onions-Mustard Rating: 3/5 House $2 Chickpea-Tomato-Cucumber-Herb Vin - [VG] Rating: 4/5 Chicken Paprikash Soup Rating: 2/5 Cheesecake $3 Dark Chocolate-Robiola-Raspberry-[V] Rating: 3/5 Smore $3 Cinnamon-Nutella-Fluff Rating: 5/5 You must try the BLT and the Smore!

    I was reading 'HOUR' magazine and they had mentioned how delicious this place was, what tempted me was the convenience of being only minutes away from my job.. *lunch hour arrives *.. I could not decide on what sliders to get exactly sooo I figured I'll try all of them j/k but I feel like I should have, so I tried the catfish which was tremendously fresh, the cheeseburger that came with sweet grilled onions and the most epic of them all was the bacon BBQ that came with sweet potato paste or something like that on the bottom of the bun , taste-bud party believe me.... This place is definitely worth it , I went twice in the same day.. (DON'T JUDGE ME) LOL ***UPDATE*** So I went back to this place. This Time I grab the hot Brown and the corned beef.. one word: EPIC

  • Anthony D.

    5 stars for the food and atmosphere. ZERO stars for the crappy service. I really wish I could give this place a solid 5 stars. As a matter of fact, if the service was just adequate I would probably give it 5 stars! Unfortunately most of the servers have bad attitudes. I'm quite convinced that whoever owns this place just hired a bunch of their friends who had no serving experience. Let me start with the good things. The food is amazing. The gourmet sliders are just perfect. The only downside is the menu seems to change a lot. So if you really love something one week, cherish it! It might be gone the next week. The first time I was here, there were many vegetarian options. I think around 6. The 2nd time I came back there were maybe half that. It was unfortunate because the one I liked the best (Asian Marinated Tofu) was just a special, and not on the regular menu. The truffle & herb fries are the best fries I have ever eaten. Period. They are now the benchmark of what I look for in fries. They have ruined me for all other fries. I constantly compare all french fries to these. Nothing has come close. The price of all the food is very reasonable. Looking at the menu, it's easy to think that you will walk out of here with a very small bill. But let me warn you, it adds up. My girlfriend and I ran up a bill of $40 or so, and that was with only one drink! But if you're not a fatass like me, you probably won't run into this issue. My biggest problem with this place is the service and the weird rules. As someone mentioned before, they will not split checks. I came with a group of 6 people and we all arrived at different times and ordered at different times. I asked the server if he could split the check 3 ways. He said he couldn't do that. I asked why. He said "Because it's a huge pain in the ass." Then he gave me a piece of paper and a pen so I could figure out how much everybody owed. Thanks. Luckily I brought my abacus, so I didn't need the pen and paper. One of my friends asked if she could order a drink from the bar that was not on the menu. Our server said no, you can only order what's on the drink menu. I thought that was pretty shitty. Later in the night, she wanted to order the Nutella s'more slider as a dessert. Oops, you can't. After a certain time, the kitchen goes down to a limited menu. The server wouldn't tell us what was on the limited menu, but he did tell us that the s'more is not. I would have thought that if ANYTHING was on the limited menu, the s'more would be on it! But I guess they must have already screwed the cap back on the jar of Nutella. Too bad. I'll probably still go back here because the food is really good and its priced very reasonably. But I really hope they get their shit together and do away with all their arbitrary rules and poor customer service.

    Per usual everything was wonderful! The kale salad is very tasty. Where else can you get a good beer for $3. The sliders were perfect and my soup was off the charts. I took 15 friends before the ball game none of them had ever been there. All 15 loved it and will be taking there friends........guess the wait could get longer I'm not going to tell anyone else! Ha

    The long slow slide into something comfortable. Or let's all jump on a running horse? Green Dot Stables is a great find in a corner of Corktown that's beginning to get a reputation (Corktown Shores...) and this place deserves a good one. The theme is definitely Derby, the sliders are delish, and the prices are divine. With menu items hovering in the $2-5 zone, you can feel free to branch out, be daring. Experiment with the Mystery Meat. Give the Poutine a try (it's Canadian for French fries with gravy and cheese curds, Universal for awesome.) Say yes to daring cocktails and local $3 drafts beers... again and again. Some of my favorite eats so far: the Hot Brown, Cuban, Lamb, Truffle&Herb fries, Cajun fries. Going back with friends to check out their vegan and vegetarian sliders, yum. And drinks: I like the Moscow Mule, Zug Island Iced Tea (scotch, triple sec, Raspberry Tea and lemonade, garnished with a Bay Leaf), their coffee-horchata rum drink, and any of the draft beers. It's an experience. Go with a mind open to explore and have fun. If your first visit is on a weekend and you hate crowds, you might be doing yourself a disservice; most of the people around you will be used to the packed quarters, busy servers and invisible hostess. They know what keeps them coming back. Weekdays or lunches are better if you want more space and less of a wait (although I'm sure it depends on the day), otherwise be prepared to saddle up to the bar, say goodbye to your elbow room and enjoy this Detroit original!

    They make good product. It's cleverly priced. Having dined here at least five times now, I can say I am a fan. Yes, service has been disappointing, but things seem to be getting better. The wait staff is more attentive and respectful. As a long-time diner in the Detroit area, I don't expect glorious service at "hipper" places. The food is why I'm there. That said, it never hurts to be treated well. Hopefully, service is on the upswing at the Stables. Green Dot is cool. Its restaurant model has staying power. My guess is, as the personality of the establishment continues to be honed, it will be a popular place for years to come.

    Ah - what a great menu of little things to eat!! We got every slider on the menu and took bites of all. I loved the hot brown and the catfish - other friends liked the black bean and the reuben's a bit more - but all was really tasty. I highly recommend the kale salad and the cucumbers. The soups were well flavored and a great starter while you're looking at the slider menu. Wonderful, inexpensive food with friendly service!! What more could you want!!

  • Jessica M.

    Ok, they're good, but 4.5 star average? Eh, only because this is a great place for the hipsters of Detroit who don't have any better. Fine I'll give them 4 stars! But if we're gonna split hairs about it, and I want to right now, I'd give them 3.8. It's cheap, but is it actually cheap? The amount of food to price ratio is probably about the same or more than at other places. But I do like that you get the option to have the smaller portion. I like getting a variety of things so this appeals to me. Drinks are pretty good price too, except the beer comes in 10 or 12 ounce glasses, not pints. Ambiance? lol should I actually review a place for Ambiance? Alright, it's fine. There's some horses painted on the walls and some canvas photographs of various horse/derby things. I don't get it. The bathroom was nice. I don't have too much to say about the service, was ok but not especially attentive. My real complaint is their hard and fast no substitution rule in the kitchen. I'm vegetarian so I'm all about substituting all the time. I mean how hard can it be? Really kinda meh with the kitchen not being flexible about orders. I think they should just do made your own sliders for the whole thing. There's three vegetarian slider options on the menu, which were all decent, but I would love to try, say, the black bean patty with the kimchee. They had the tempeh, grilled cheese, and black bean. Oh they also have PB&J but I wouldn't consider that anything but dessert. Oh, also, the buns were cold, making it kind of a cold eating experience. I like my buns warm. Ordered the mushroom broth, which is exactly what it sounds like and nothing more, clear mushroom broth. Mac and cheese was alright, better than kraft but not gourmet. Truffle fries were yummy but a little salty. Between 2 people with a drink each, to get full, we spent about $30. I wouldn't say exactly that it's cheap. Nop, giving 3 stars.

    I'm a huge fan of the Green Dot. Drinks are great and cheap, REALLY, REALLY CHEAP. Sliders are also pretty good. I've had the Hot Brown, which was OK, and the Cuban, which I'd recommend in a heartbeat. They're good, but if you're looking for a really filling, sticks-to-your-ribs meal, you won't find it here. It's good for a night out with friends and the novelty of the sliders. I've already been back and will be again. Great atmosphere, especially on a Friday night.

    Green Dot has my bet. I'd go "all in" on that shiny happy little pony. Yep. They have a very creative menu of sliders ranging from corned beef to chicken to chorizo...it's an adventurous one and I appreciate that fearless spirit. They always have a "mystery meat" slider, which is the special of the day. The day we went, it was a chorizo slider with some kind of corn aioli, I believe? I can't recall what the waitress said...all I know is it was the most scrumptious slider I have tasted. After ordering another immediately, I adamantly insisted that the waitress tell the kitchen to put that sucker on the permanent menu! Holy YUM. Other tasty ones: the Korean slider & Catfish slider. The Korean slider has Kimchi & peanut sauce on a beef slider...I was pleasantly surprised at how well the peanut flavor mixed with the spicy Kimchi. The Catfish slider is crispy perfection; breaded with cornmeal and topped with tartar. I also had the Lamb slider. That was just OK. The lamb was kind of dry and the hummus wasn't anything special...the pickles either...it was just sort of forgettable. Their fries are pretty fannnnntastic as well. I personally love the thinly cut nearly shoe string skinny fries. We tried 3 flavors all together: Malt Vinegar, Ranch and Rosemary & Truffle. I liked all of the fries but the ranch ones just hit the right flavor notes for me. I'm surprised how much I liked the flavor. The service was speedy and friendly to boot. They also have a great beer selection...from Bell's to Shorts to Dragonmead...many great choices to go along with the typical domestic selection. The true winner here is your WALLET. Literally EVERYTHING on the menu is either $2 or $3 dollars. That goes for food and drink alike. How's that for affordability? The atmosphere is great too. Casual yet with a bit of character, since you can feel the history of the stable and horse racing culture all around...complete with swinging saloon doors and all.

    I saw a friends FB post about a camel tofu curry slider. It's been a place I had to try ever since. The parking lot was packed but we got a table right away. Tried the Cuban, Mediterranean meatloaf and cheeseburger slider. They all were yummy and yes a bit small but I knew that going in. Great beer selection and cheap!! Can't wait to bring friends to this festive chatty place I'm now a fan of.

    This place is amazing. My husband and I went here on a Tuesday night and were shocked at how busy it was! We had to wait about 20 minutes for our table of 6 but it was well worth it. We started with the cucumbers (amazing...salty...delish), my husband got three sliders and I got two (buffalo chicken and black bean). The buffalo chicken was perfection and the black bean was filling...but kind of dry. We also split the truffle french fries which were very good. At 2-3 dollars a slider and the sides 2 or 3 dollars we left very full and plan on visiting again very, very soon.

    Good food, good drink selection, vegetarian and vegan friendly. Great prices. Very efficient and polite wait staff - they were super busy when we went last time but they did an excellent job seating people and cleaning tables as fast as possible.

    The bf and I stopped by for dinner before indulging in our casino addiction (we are in our early 20s, going on 70). The parking lot was full, so we ended up parking on the street. I was a little confused when we walked inside, since there isn't a designated hostess area and instead we just kind of stood their awkwardly not knowing what to do. We finally found one though and the wait was going to be about an hour. We got a few drinks to pass the time. They don't have Dragonmead's Final Absolution anymore :( One of the bartenders said that since the brewery is expanding, they aren't making kegs anymore. (Weird because Ashley's in Ann Arbor said they're still getting them) I started out with a Bell's and the bf got a mint julep. I really am not a bourbon fan and can hardly even stand the smell. I took a sip out of curiosity though and found it to be alright- meaning that it was a weak drink. Not horrible for $3, but not great. Next round, I ordered the Moscow Mule. That, on the other hand, was amazing! I love spicy ginger ale and this drink had a bit of a kick to it. I loved it and drank it a bit too fast.. Oops When were seated, the waiter was kind enough to explain the menu. He said that women usually eat 3-5 sliders and men, 4-6. We decided to just try a few things out and ordered the Cuban, gyro, coney, and the hot brown. Our favorites were definitely the Cuban and they gyro. We really liked the truffle herb fries, too. I was honestly a little disappointed in the size, though. Yes, I know they're sliders. From the Yelp photos, they looked like a decent size. Some of ours were ridiculously small. I'm saying that some of the buns were maybe 1.5 inches wide and were eaten in 2 bites. The $3 price tag felt a little steep then. It was worth the experience, I suppose though. I know that everything is under 3 bucks, but it can add up quick. Between the two of us, we had 4 sliders, 2 types of fries, and 4 drinks, which totaled up over $30. We both agreed that we could eat another slider, but just couldn't justify the price when some of the sliders were just so small. I'd come back again for the Moscow Mule alone though :)

    Let's start with the bad (this will be short and sweet). The location is not near anything - which means you really should start your night here. The decor leaves much to be desired. I feel like the styling and furnishings were stolen from the Regal Begal (Three's Company, anyone?). Yelp categorizes this place as a gastropub, but I think it is too divey feeling to be that. Now, the good. The burgers are really awesome-even the buns were tasty. I think working through the menu would be a laudable goal. The poutine was not bad, but where are the curds? I guess for $3 they figure they could skimp a bit. I had the kale salad, and I was stunned at how fresh and delicious it was. I think the bartender had a chuckle when he saw my exuberance about raw vegetables. They have a good selection of beers and they even have "mystery" cocktails. I am not sure why they call the burger/beer/cocktail of the day a "mystery". Semantics . . .

    While I still love Green Dot, I'm lowering the stars again after the last 2 outings here. I get it, you're busy, but on our last visit especially, we waited way too long for our food. About 20 minutes before our waiter noticed we didn't have our cucumbers yet, and about 40 minutes for 4 sliders and an order of truffle fries. Last time I had to wait this long was on an evening, when the place was packed. But when you come for a late lunch, and there isn't a wait for tables, you don't expect to wonder which of the 10+ tickets posted on the window is yours. It started to feel like a lottery, especially when other tables got their food before us, despite the fact that they were seated after us.

    Stopped in for lunch on our way out of downtown. Nice little seating area and bar, but gets packed quickly during the rush hours. We were seated at a table by the bar and waited on by Dave, who was very friendly and explained the menu to us. This is a slider joint... so don't show up expecting a 5-pound burger and chicken fingers. what you will find is a short but delicious menu of gourmet sliders and sides. I got the cheeseburger and the Hot Brown (chicken) and loved them both. My dad got the catfish and coney dog which he said he enjoyed. They also have a warm white bean and potato salad that was interesting and I would definitely order again. And the fries... skinny, crisp and delicious! I will return again and again so don't disappear!

    Food good, service bad. I feel like they may be running on the Miller's Burger service model where it's OK for the waitress to be rude because that's their thing. I've been here three times, once with just one other person and the other two times with a bigger group of 8 - 10. I've yet to feel that "welcoming" vibe from a waitress, and the last time, albeit with a large group, the waitress just was all out rude and inconvenienced. The food is delicious, for sure. The kimchi burger has been my go to, but I also haven't found a burger that I didn't like there yet. Fries remind me of the duck fat fries that used to be served at Bourbon Steak - pure deliciousness. With the food being as good as it was and the prices being pretty decent, I'm A-OK with the witchy service.

    Truffle & Herb Fries are chronic - dreaming about then right now. "Mystery Meat" (of the day) sliders are always fun (wild boar....etc). Korean slider is crazy - Peanut Butter & Kimchi?! It works! They have a great beer selection, I can always find something great on tap. Super casual - you can drop in from a grimey job and noone bats an eye. It's a bar - with great, fun, often surprising food.

    Love this place. Discovered it this summer after one of my soccer games and I've been coming here at least every other week since then. The drinks are reasonably priced and the mixed drinks are creative. The assortment of sliders has been put together to please any palate. Coming here to discover the mystery meat burger every other week is one of my favorite things to do, always pleases my appetite. Only down side is that I find myself ordering six sliders or more every time I come; it can get a little costly. Overall great experience, great service, great atmosphere, great food. A staple of Detroit that you must visit if you are visiting.

    I just moved back to the area and I asked a trusted friend for a few places to check out. #1 with a bullet was Green Dot Stables and after my visit there last night, I understand why. We showed up on a Saturday night at a hair before 6:30 and the place was packed. We found a waitress and put our name. We were told 45 minutes or so. After about a hour we were able to find two seats at the bar instead and I have to say, that was the perfect way to experience this place for the first time. We started with some Truffle & Herb French Fries which were amazing. Truffle oil and french fries has been trendy for a few years now but it always feels like they drown the fries in the oil. This is the first place to get the portion right and it was a home run. Bonus points for having sriracha sauce as a condiment on the bar. We used this instead of ketchup and it was the closest to heaven I will ever reach. We also ordered the mac n cheese (Parmesan-Mornay) which was good. The problem with the mac and cheese was everything else we had was some of the best and most inventive takes on standard dishes ,that it made a very solid effort seem pedestrian by comparison. The reason I mention this is, with 20 sliders to choose from, you want to leave as much room as possible to engulf these little balls of happiness. We were able to get through 7. Next time I will not eat for 2 days and go for all 20. My top three were: The Korean with Peanut Butter-Kimchi was incredible, a must order even if Jacques doesn't think so. The Fried Chicken with Panko-Sage Maple Syrup was a close second. It sounds simple, but I could have eaten 10 of them. The BBQ Bacon consisting of Beef-Sweet Potato-BBQ Sauce was next. The only one I didn't love was the Cuban (Rosted Pork Butt-Ham-Mustard-Pickles-Jack). I think it suffered from the same problem as the Mac n Cheese. When everything else is perfection, the standard is just too high to hit on everything. Oh did I mention nothing on the menu is over $2 or $3. Yup, that just happened. To Recap: The Good: The sliders are the best I have ever had. The sides are well done, the beer list is diverse with some local flair and the whole meal is the best bargain for what you get. Richard Blais does a high-end take on sliders in Atlanta which are great, but still not as good as this and triple the price. The Bad: Don't be in a rush, always busy, parking can be tough, real tough. The Band This Restaurant Most Resembles: The White Stripes. A modern day Detroit Legend!

    Worth the hype? Yeah. Now let's be real. YES, the sliders are cheap. BUT, the menu is so enticing and large - and they are sliders - and you want fries - so you end up spending about just as much as you would for a regular kind of pub dinner. BUT THE OPTIONS! Sliders I Ordered: -Lamb: Oh hell yeah. Loved the hummus and the lamb was flavorful as all heck. -Catfish: Yeah I know. You want a burger. But don't pass up the catfish. This is awesome. Just do it. -Coney Dog: a little bite of coney heaven. Now the drinks - CHEAP. From cocktails to craft beer, the selection is impressive and substantial. Bear Republic Racer 5 IPAs for $3? Sign me up. Will I be back? You bet.

    First off, let me start by saying the only reason I'm giving green dot a poor review was the service we received there this past winter- I think their place is incredibly creative, and pretty solid tasting. Green dot was newly opened when I first moved to Detroit so I was totally Jazzed about this 2-3 bone slider and beer thing- and it was great! I recommended Green Dot to Everyone! I went there pretty frequently as well so of course when we decided to do a work outing there on a friday- I was 100% behind it! 1. I called green dot about 2pm on that friday to ask if we could make a reservation, the person who answered the phone let me know they didn't make reservations and it was first come first serve- okay- totally fine. I thought we can just go a little earlier and grab a table. 2. Towards the end of work we decided we would all meet there as we did a head count of 6 people coming with a possibly 7th- I decided to go ahead and get there first- I walked right in about 5:15pm I asked for a table for 6- the hostess at that time told me they could not seat me, I would have to wait for at least half my party to be there-- okay (Let it be known this was not posted ANYWHERE in their restaurant) which I am now told it is on their menu. 3. So I agreeable sat at the bar and had a drink waiting for my co-workers- 3 more showed up and I spoke with the hostess and as she has promised she pushed 2 tables together and put together 6 seats for us perfect! our 2 other work pals joined us shortly, not a problem. at this point we had already ordered about $120.00 in sliders, fries, and drinks we were enjoying and our possible 7th arrived. by this time the bar was packed as it normally is. luckily enough there was a couple who had just been seated at a 4 top table next to us and offered us their extra chair, about as soon as they scooted the chair in our direction for our friend to sit our waiter was out there and said we could not do that? I asked why and they just continued to repeat its our policy- now at this point I would understand if it was an empty table that allowed them to seat another group but it was an empty chair at a table that was already used-- we asked to speak with the manager, and then the owner- all of them stated the same thing- "It's our policy" Shame on you green dot for letting your rules get in the way of common sense, and good business pratice" the worst part of it all was the tone in the matter was handled- lets put it this way- they were by no means disrespectful, but not being professional either. I've waited a long time to make this post as I wanted to give myself sometime to think about ti before I did but I am confident in saying after that evening I have not been back- and won't go back- and I'm bust definitely not encouraging people to go there any longer! Left a sour taste in my mouth!!!

    I heard about this place on that show Under the Radar Michigan. Food was excellent and prices are cheap! $3 will buy you: your choice of GOURMET slider, a 12 oz craft beer, or a yummy side such as Truffle fries. Don't be fooled by this book's cover! The place isn't that impressive when you pull up, but that's its charm. As one might expect, the inside isn't that chic either but the food is tasty and the place has character! This place isn't your typical hole-in-the wall Detroit Bar.

    I love this place!!!!!!! After hearing about this place from a couple friends, I was soooo anxious to go.. Everything is super inexpensive $2-3/item.. I think it's great how everything is small so you can sample a few different things in a single visit..if you have a friend or two in tow, you're sure to have a smorgasbord!!!! My personal fav was the Korean - don't be afraid by the peanut butter, it totally works!! Be open and try everything, you're in for a real treat! Truffle and herb fries - best fries ever!!! The mac and cheese was probably one of the best I've ever had - so, so creamy scrumptious! For next to nothing ($3) you get a good sized crock full of heavenly carbs!! Oh!! and the potato salad!!! I think I need to go back right now!! be sure to check out the mystery meat - when I was there, it happened to be eggplant paremesan - not really meat, but very delish!! Moscow Mule!!! Fantabulous!!!! When I read the ingredients, I was not interested, but I'm glad I tried it - it had a spicy like sharpness that at the same time quenched my thirst. The staff has plenty of suggestions and are so patient. For dessert, my friend and I split a smore - meh... I'll be going back before ya know it!

    Go here for something different to do, as a couple or with some friends. Place is cool, has good food (obvious from other reviewers plus our own experience). Go here if you are looking for something fun to do without spending a lot of money. Five people, 12 sliders, five orders of fries, many beers and a class of wine came out to less than $75. Seriously. We will be back. Again and again.

    I love this place! I first went with a group to help celebrate one of my friend's accomplishments and both the food and service were excellent - especially because we all kept ordering at different times (sorry!). I really liked that I could try a variety of different things and that they have different "meat of the day" options. The last time I went was crab cake, which was great, but I have to say the kale salad is my favorite item. Their prices are also great - especially for drinks. The one disappointment was that they didn't have one of the beers advertised, but that can happen anywhere and I was just as happy with my next selection. I will be back and have suggested this place to others too.

  • J S.

    Really? Won't separate checks? Rude server, didn't run our bills in the proportion we asked for. How is splitting one bill over 3 cards easier than just splitting up our bills? Was not even busy. Paid $4 more than what my bill should have been. My friend paid double. Never checked back to get me another beer. If cheap food, poor service, and a disregard for customer service are what you are looking for, this is the place.

    the barrage of sliders are great only if its real busy cant do carry outs, which caused me to leave because I couldn't wait 45 minutes for an table. the weekends are always packed the drinks are great no need to dress very laid back bartenders have a very good memory

    Stopped in with a group of friends on the way to a Tigers game. At first glance inside it reminded me of a northern Michigan bar without all the stuffed dear heads on the wall. The hostess had her act together and was keeping a list and shouting out the names, so organized confusion. A beer was had at the bar while we waited for a table. The waiting kinda reminded me of vultures waiting for the wildebeest to succumb to the lions wounds . You have to stand by either the bar or a railing by the raised area and stare out over the tables as you chat with your group and speculate who is finishing and who will get the table. There is also horse races on the overhead TV's which provided some fun as we made beer bets on which horse would win....and that led to a game on who could come up with the most creative R rated name for a horse... I will leave it at that. Once seated ...the menu... the table ordered a selection of sliders and fries. all pretty good but the traditionalist in me loved the classic cheeseburger followed closely by the s'more dessert slider. All in a all a good meal in a interesting place. I will go again , but not alone... the area looks like it could be a little sketchy if you made a wrong turn.

  • Alex W.

    Great place! "Gourmet sliders". A cheeseburger is a rarity when you have available catfish, korean (with kimchi and peanut butter), tempeh and many other treats. They also have awesome french fries, 4 different kinds including truffle oil fries, to go with your sliders. Just pick 3-5 sliders, some fries and a drink and enjoy yourself! Great service from friendly staff tops it off, for a sure good meal.

    Green Dot is a bright Gem is a shady area. I would have never of expected great craft beers, mixed drinks, and amazingly unique menu from a place like this. It is kind of like the "butter-face" of bars. Everything is great but the facade.

  • Sandra R.

    I loved this place however it was very crowded. We were able to snag two seats at the bar and avoid the hour plus wait. Bartender was very friendly but VERY busy. They can certainly use a bit more staff. Food timing was strange. bits and pieces of our order came out at different times. Drink prices were good and food prices were good. While sitting at the bar, I was elbowed about 20 times by people trying to get the bartenders attention. Mixed crowd with lots of families and students.

  • Sabrina B.

    So, I had some friends visit from out of town and they were famished when they arrived and I immediately thought of trying this place after reading about them here on Yelp. Well I have to agree with the others, this place is great! Service was friendly (notably so for the Detroit area, where many times, sullen and listless rule the day) and prompt. The food came to the table hot and tasted great. I had 2 of the mystery meat sliders (pork today) with a Ghettoblaster and some fries -- heaven! You can't beat the prices; most sliders are $2 or $3 bucks, the beers are the same and there is a good selection to choose from. Another positive is, for those of us who don't eat enough to feed a small country in one meal, the portion size is perfect. I got 2 sliders and some fries though I should have only ordered one (I took the other home with me) and I was happy and full. I love this place and will definitely be back.

  • LadyBird X.

    I ordered the Kale salad and the Chicken & Lemon Orzo salad, both of which were even tastier than I was expecting. I try to eat European portion sizes (in other words, normal portion sizes), so these two were enough to leave me satiated; however, I could have easily eaten a third slider if I wanted to feel stuffed. I'm from Chicago (where all of these sliders would be $5 each), so I think the value for your buck here is incredible. In fact, I wish we had a place like this in Chicago. Service was also notably excellent. If I lived near Detroit, I would definitely patron regularly.

  • Julie H.

    One of my favorite places to go in the D and one of the best spots to take out of town guests to experience great, cheap food in a fun and funky setting. Nothing on the menu (including most beer/drinks) over $3?! Sold. The Fried Chicken, Cuban and Black Bean sliders rank among my absolute favorites. The truffle oil fries are awesome with just the right amount of saltiness and oil. I love almost all of the 'salads' as well, and for the price and serving size, you can afford to try several. If you haven't gone to Green Dot yet, what are you waiting for?!

  • David M.

    This place is pretty damn good and we will be back very soon. Went there for a bday party and were able to fit 13 of us around one of their bigger tables. Had the tiger game on. Service was pretty damn good too. Cheap prices and a great selection of sliders. I had a PB n J (slider) that has chipotle in it so it is a nice spin on the classic, Korean (peanut butter and Kim Chi), corned beef, fried bologna (old school tube bologna, very good) and a couple other samples of my friends sliders. This place has it going on and I will be back again to munch away the night with friends soon. I almost forgot, the music selection playing those few hours we were there was pretty danged good too.

  • Roni L.

    Many unique sliders to choose from, paired with a variety of recommended beers. The Korean slider is unique, with peanut butter kimchi, the 'mystery meat' that day was tofu with wasabi mayo which was also excellent. The sauce accompanying all the sliders I've tried is superb, exactly as described and exceeds expectations. The reason for abstaining from a 5th star is the side order of fries; my fry bar is fairly high, and the cajun fries weren't much different than the malt vinegar fries a friend ordered. The consistency was cooked well, but was rather plain. Service was excellent, everything arrived as ordered and a friendly staff!

  • Jenni H.

    Well, I am probably the last resident of Detroit to finally make it over to Great Dot. They don't have a ton of vegetarian or vegan options, but I went with the PB&J (yummmm, peanut butter) and the black bean. The buns were fluffy and soft and the sandwiches were the perfect size. I was also pleasantly surprised that the black bean came with a dollop of guac on top, which was delicious. The flavor of both the burger patty itself and the guac were perfect--it's easy to make both too spicy IMO, but the combo in this case was perfect. I could have easily eaten two. Of course, my friends insisted that I have a S'more for dessert, and I highly doubt that anything that includes Nutella could ever disappoint, and of course it didn't--it was the only item I wished were bigger :-). I also had a Moscow Mule to drink and wow, I don't know if they brew their own ginger beer (or maybe get it sourced somewhere locally), but it sure had a ginger after-burn (in a good way, assuming you like ginger). A good way to get away with drinking alcohol while also clearing your sinuses! The vibe is decidedly hipster, which I am most definitely not. But service was good; although it's a little unclear when you walk in whether you're supposed to seat yourself (apparently we were, at least that night). A little signage in that department would be useful. Hipster hang-out or not, odds are I'll go back, if for no other reason to load up on the S'mores sliders :-)

    My husband has been here four more times, me two. This place gets a million stars from us. Customer service is always outstanding, the food is so good, and the beers..I could go on and on..I can't believe the customer service here..I guess we will keep coming back all the time, why not!! Lunch is busy, but there is still room for everyone. Sliders galore, and the fries rock!

    Awesome establishment. Use to be an old cop bar that was renovated in a hipster, kitch way. Great place to go before a Tigers game or for a late night snack. Always have a variety of sliders being offered from kim chee, elk, lamb, beef, beans, etc... They make a pretty good Mojito too. There is always a variety of ages in there from 20's-60's. Definitely make the trip there the next time you're in Detroit - it won't disappoint.

    Truly a Detroit gem! Great beer selection. They make a solid mint julep too. Lots of inventive burger combinations. The Cajun fries and the truffle fries are incredible. Cheap too! Great atmosphere. There was definitely a buzz about the place, even though it was just a random Wednesday.

  • Chris C.

    I went yesterday for the first time and I was blown away. My friend and I went in with the idea of eating 3, then our waiter said most people average between 3 and 6 items including sides, and in the end we each had six sliders and a fry. I can highly recommend the Korean which includes the amazing combination of hamburger, peanut butter, and kim chee. The Fried Chicken isn't what you'd expect as its covered in syrup giving it a chicken & waffles taste that I really enjoyed. The best slider hands down was the Hot Brown which is grilled chicken, bacon, and a mornay cheese sauce. The Pizza, BBQ Bacon burger, and Corned Beef were all also very good. A final recommendation goes to the venison chilli cheese fries and their excellent, very affordable, drink menu.

    Excellent, excellent place! As soon as I left, I wanted to go back. I went to the Stables on 7/7/12 - it was 100 degrees outside and probably 100 degrees inside as well. Luckily, the drinks were cold and super cheap. I started out with a Moscow Mule and if you like ginger, this was pretty sharp. Then moved on to Mint Juleps. Spend a buck and upgrade from the well liquor. Even though it is in the middle of nowhere the place was jam packed, but we only had to wait about 5 min for a table. There was a bit of a snafu with our order, I think the waiter forgot to put it through, and we ended up waiting a long time for food until he asked us if we were ready for dessert and I told him we didn't even have our regular food yet! He was completely shocked but seeing as how busy it was and how hot it was, we really didn't care. He did give us free Juleps and a discount, even though we repeatedly told him it was no problem. Great server - he made things right in a big way. The food was great - had the cheeseburger slider, the mystery meat and tried the Au Poivre - all were perfect. Bigger than I expected too. The Truffle & Herb fries were literally the best fries I have ever had. Only $3 but worth three times that. You'll need more than one order of them, because you'll eat them so fast! Can't wait to go back - this place is a gem!

    Well, the atmosphere is definitely a neighborhood bar. I mean that in a good way. The berries are reasonably priced, I had a Final Absolution from Dragonhead Microbrewery (Warren, MI) for $3.00! You can't beat that with a stick. The sliders are unique; but, they are small. The "bun" is really a commercial dinner roll. I had the corned beef & the Cuban and enjoyed both. The Kale salad is different, good and it's small too. I got the Truffle and Herb fries (small - catching a theme here!?) and was really pleased with them. Just wish I had more. The servers were nice and attentive. Lots of clusters of people that came together. Three large screen TVs with some good tunes playing for ambiance. Out of the way, but worth the trouble to find it.

    When I saw the golden horse on the roof of this place, I just knew it had to be something special! Yeah, ok, it's in a kind of industrial area of Detroit, but get over it, get in your car and make a road trip! This is Slider City, Detroit. Two to three dollar sliders that are gourmet bites of culinary pleasure that will make you want to invite the CEO of White Castle to show him how it REALLY should be done! I stopped in with my college-aged son who thought GDS was going to be "Sketchy" because of the location. One bite of my catfish slider and the glorious side of fingerlings and he was calling it "Hipster" and "Awesome!" He also had the Cuban and the buffalo chicken and I enjoyed the Cat fish and the BBQ burger with bacon. We loved them all, but our favorite, hands down was the Catfish. My son hates fish, but one bite of mine and he was ready to go fishing! The Catfish is fresh, not at all fishy and breaded just right. I absolutely swooned over my cucumber salad with crème fraiche and we shared the fingerling potatoes with and excellent mustard sauce on them. Our servers were so helpful and pleasant and made sure we had our drinks and everything was tasting great. We each had a bite of a Smores slider for dessert and I never thought I could like a s'more on slider bread, but it was indeed FABULOUS! Note: The beers are $2 for the most part and Guinness by the bottle is $3, such a deal! Well, that golden horse on the roof did not steer me wrong! This is the very best slider restaurant in the world! I can't wait to return!

    I just noticed I have not given out 5 stars to any place I have rated, but I would give this 4.5 stars if I could. I really like the concept of the sliders and sides that they have, and being as cheap as they are, you can't go wrong. Yes, everything is 3 dollars or cheaper, but it really adds up. If you want to be full and get a little bit of a buzz going on, you're going to end up racking up a bill close to $30. I do appreciate the prices and the small portions though, so you can try a bunch of menu items without breaking the bank. The drinks I had were small and weak, but tasty, so I'm not complaining too much. The food, though, is where it's at. Between my boyfriend and me, we tried 6 sliders and we thought they were all yummy. My favorite, however, is the Au Poivre, a peppercorn encrusted beef slider with a cognac aioli. There are few things in this life that I crave, but that damn slider is one of them. My one complaint is everyone else's as well: the sliders would be even MORE amazing with better buns. They are just standard small buns that they probably get at GFS or something. I enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and our waitress was friendly the one time we've been there. I'll definitely be back!

    I was in Detroit with family and stopped in based on good yelp reviews. We were NOT disappointed! Between the seven of us we sampled just about everything on the menu. Everything was very tasty. My personal favorites were the BBQ bacon slider, the truffle fries and the mushroom broth soup (if you love mushrooms you MUST order this). Everything on the menu is $2 or $3 including cocktails, beer, and wine. The service was friendly but a bit slow. Waitress could have been a bit more attentive, but they were busy and seemed a bit understaffed. The food takes some time to arrive but I don't mind when each and every item has clearly been selected and prepared with care. All in all I can't wait to go back!

    I had heard way too much hype about this place that I stayed away, and when I finally made it, I was floored by the creativity of the simple food. They're mini burgers and fries, but they're damn good mini burgers and fries. To top it off, they don't try to pretend to do other things well and dilute their effort. They do mini burgers and fries and a couple of other sides excellently.

    The menu is pretty inspired, but the execution doesn't live up to it. Our group of 4 ordered something like 15 different sliders and fry combinations, and the sliders were mostly good but not great. The meat patties were routinely dried out from overcooking, and the other ingredients either exacerbated the problem (peanut butter) or were so stingily applied that they couldn't help (rosemary hummus). We'll give it another try soon and hope the cook's having a better night. The service was ok up until they brought the bill. It must've taken 20 or 30 minutes before we could get the guy's attention to let us pay.

    Great atmosphere, and service. Everyone was really nice. This was my first experience, and it was awesome. Great variety of unique and interesting sliders. I loved the black bean, and we all enjoyed the bologna, PBS and J, and buffalo chicken. Mac and cheese side was also excellent. All in all, a unique and fun experience. We'll be back soon!

    Server had an attitude. My friend wanted to add tomatoes to a sandwich, but NO ADDITIONS. We wanted to split the check. NO SPLITTING CHECKS. Also, $10 limit on cards. Won't be returning. Good Mac and cheese. Burgers were mediocre. Decor is bleh.

    Went for lunch with my wife and was impressed. I will say that the feel in the bar is great. Nice and clean with a great "small" bar feel. The decorations are great to look at and keep you occupied while eating\drinking. About the food... I thought the sliders were good, not great. I think the bun is too large for the meat and should also be steamed. $3.00 a slider is steep since you need at least 3 per person (im only 170lbs). The fries were really good but small portions. I did love the macaroni and cheese but kinda hard to mess that up. Dont get me wrong the food here is good and I suggest you stop here. I'm just not sure I would make it a normal lunch stop.

    I actually like the small portions because it allowed us to get a wide variety and not over eat. I'll call it "american-style tapas". We had to wait a little while but the beer was cold and whiskey was cheap. No complaints.

    Simple food, great service and decent prices. Just had lunch here on my first visit to Green Dot. it was FANTASTIC. Dave was our server and he was very pleasant and helpful. Nice guy to have a chat with but the place got real busy for lunch. Interior is decorated with a lot of jockey and horse racing stuff and is pretty well lit. Have to agree with Liz and Annette, I will be going back to try one of everything on the menu. Love the fact that all choices are ala carte and small enough to try more than one thing at a sitting. And who woulda thunk about creative sliders. I had the catfish slider and the coney slider along with fries and the warm bean and potato salad. The bean and potato salad had white beans, cabbage, fingerling potatoes, bacon and a walnut balsamic vinaigrette. Man was this good. Fries are the thin type and also done just perfectly. Catfish slider had a very nice piece of fish in it and the coney slider came with venison chili. Both of these were just great. Dave told us that the night before had a hour wait time from 5 pm till close. I will go back soon but will try and get in when the wait is non existent. Did not try beer selection this time but will indulge myself on the next visit.

    Went here last night for the first time. Great atmosphere and very good service. We sat at the bar but the place was packed at 10 PM! Had some sliders and fries and a beer and it was a great value! But then I made the mistake of looking into the kitchen through a small window at the end of the bar. There I saw the line cook in a loose fitting tank top lining up cheese slices to be put on the sliders... lining them up his forearm from his hand to his elbow!! Between the open armpits working over the food and cheese in direct contact with arm hair I will never eat there again!!! This is a hard one to rate because everything was awesome except for the food handling practices. I'd given it four stars if I hadn't looked through that window!

  • Chanell S.

    I like this place because I really enjoy mix and match eating in general. I also think the catfish slider is yummy. As for the food, that is really all I like here because I find the other non-meat choices don't do it for me. Also, I think another reviewer was right, the fries *are* reminiscent of packaged potato straws - and putting this or that on top certainly does not make the serving size worth $3. I give a third star for the friendly bartender dude and the $3 wine. I like wine.

    If you are gluten free you are out of luck here. Very few menu items are gluten free and the ones that are are small, expensive, and not well executed. For example, the kale side is very small and very oily and the seasoned french fries were barely seasoned and a very small portion for the money. No gluten free beer selections. So when I asked for a Tanqueray and tonic they didn't even have Tanqueray, just some low quality gin. To survive past the fad surge of success in Detroit they are going to have to increase portion size, diversify the menu to accomodate allergies, and make sure they have standard top shelf liquor or they will be another bar casualty.

    After having the S'more slider last night I think I can still taste that sweet salty goodness in the back of my mouth. The only reason that could be disappointing is that it blocks out the taste of the truffle fries and that mind blowing drink. So what I'm saying is go. Just go to the Green Dot Stables. That's it. The key to happiness.

    Ok, so my fiance and I had bigger eyes than our stomachs, but we wanted to try as much as we could at this place since friends who know the chef (I guess he had worked at Roast at some point) had raved about it. Cucumber appetizer - Interestingly enough, these were really, really good. We loved these. The salt was course, yet amazingly not overwhelmingly salty...I need to learn what salt this is so I can make this at home... Chicken Paprikash Soup - This was comforting and creamy...nice...a definite must if it's a cold winter day Truffle Potatoes - These were really good and did have a significant truffle flavor...light, but noticeable. I can say I've had some truffle fries in fancier places and the truffle flavor didin't even compare. For the sliders...all served on standard grocery store buns (not toasted on grill or oven) Shredded Pork - This was good and porky nothing else to say about it...not my favorite Cheeseburger - The beef blend in this was very flavorful and one of our favorites Lamb - This was good, but on the dry side for me...I don't think I would order this again BCT - I didn't try this personally as I was getting full as you can see from the list of items...My fiance said it was another that was good, but wouldn't order again Mystery Meat - This was duck breast and was very tasty with some type of sweet jam on it...one of my favorites, but since this mystery meat changes, don't know how often this will be available Catfish - This was very good. Not a crispy bit of catfish, but the breading was tasty and the catfish tasted fresh Curry Chicken - I really enjoyed this. It had a bit of sweetness with the cauliflower, orange, onion topping. Nice curry flavor if you like this type of thig Au Poivre - A play on steak poivre...this was another of our favorites...had nice beefy flavor. I guess the quality and blend of beef they use is the key thing that makes their beef burgers exceptional Grilled Cheese - Didn't try this, but fiance said he wouldn't order it again as it wasn't anything memorable flavor-wise Bologna - Didn't try this, but fiance said it was okay, but that he wouldn't get this again Coney Dog - Tried a small bit, but if you want a coney get the real deal...nothing great. Fiance was a bit annoyed at how messy it was to eat. Dessert.... Strawberry Basil sorbet - This came in a very small plastic cup...flavor was good, but it was warm, and melted...I thought it was a bit of a joke when it came out as if the staff was wondering if we'd notice...we didn't say anything, but we sure as hell noticed... The food here was good, but not worthy of a 5 star to me...4.5...But this is a bar and slider joint, so...but don't get me wrong, the food is so above-par than your average watering hole...If I wanted drinks and good food, but didn't want to break the bank, I'd definitely come here...

    I got the inside scoop last year on this place from a great friend of mine who just happens to know the folks who own this place! I just love this place. On this visit I had another friend of mine with me and we were going to a hockey game so what better way to start the evening off than stopping at what I believe to be one of the hippest joints in Detroit! The menu is straight forward sliders fries sides and great cocktails and ice cold beer. Sounds like you will have no trouble placing your order. Hmmm not so much...each slider is so different its not just a burger with cheese and onion....no no no....Hot Brown slider, catfish slider, cuban slider, just listing them here makes my mouth water. The sides and fries are AWESOME too! I really love the truffle and herb fries, crispy with just the perfect amount of seasoning and the truffle just adds that extra something special. Foods great, staff super friendly, really cool vibe in the place AND reasonable! For two of us to eat and drink our fill and have a little something sweet the bill was 52.00(6 sliders, 2 orders of fries 6 moscow mules and a dessert). So glad this place is in Detroit cause I would be living there if it were closer to my house!

    Great selection of beers w/ a laid back casual atmosphere. Went with a high level of expectation. Was VERY disappointed. I ordered 4 sliders. The Cuban, Tempeh, Hot Brown, and Lamb. The Hot Brown was the only decent one...and that is only because I love maple syrup. I put it in my hair in the morning to get the perfect shine. The Cuban was bland and tasteless, the Tempeh was HORRIBLE (I eat a lot of Tempeh so I do have a standard), and Lamb was a super thin slice of ground lamb which could easily have been beef. The sauce on all these sliders was non-existent, no powerful flavors, horrible sliders in general. DRINKING is a different beast. The drinking scene was fun and we enjoyed drinking the night away. The special drinks the have have almost no liquor FYI. Just drink beers, eat a couple slider simply to pat the stomach, and that pretty much sums up Green Dot Stables.

    We have all been writing about the great food, atmosphere and prices at the Green Dot, but have you checked out the garden? Yes, they have their own garden!! Ted (cook and gardener) is using perma culture techniques using hugel beds with logs buried underneath mounds of compost and top soil to sustain moisture and provide nutrients to the plants. Have you seen potatoes growing in tires stacked vertically? What about the herb spiral? They are growing their own kale, cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, herbs and other food for daily use in their recipies. Very unique and artistic addition to a gem of a restaurant!

  • Food L.

    Great food!! Great service!! Great Mystery meat!! The place is hidden downtown, but when you find it you will keep going back. Very crowded at lunch time, so it takes a little longer to get seated and get food, so if your in rush at lunch avoid it. Best time to go is around 2, its nice and slow at that time.

  • Nicole C.

    Let me start by saying, I used to love this place. I took everyone there. Great food, cool atmosphere, and cheap prices. Unfortunately, a couple of horrible service experiences in a row have completely turned me off. I actually tell people NOT to go there. Episode 1: They Don't Want Our Money. We ordered food at the bar while we waited for our table. When our name was called, all 8 of us sat down, bringing our few sliders from the bar. The waitress saw our food and proceeded to ignore us. When we finally flagged her we were told she was not allowed to serve us because we had already ordered (and closed our tab with a HUGE tip) at the bar. We assured her we were starving and were planning on ordering a lot more food. No go. We spoke to the manager who said, "we need to agree to disagree on this. That's our policy. You can find somewhere else to eat tonight." Seriously?? We want to spend more money with you and you're kicking us out because we already spent a little money at the bar? Episode 2: The Coats. Again with a group of 8-10 people. We got there at 11:30 AM. The place was empty. They made it clear that pushing tables together for us was an inconvenience, but did it anyway. A couple people put their coats on chairs at adjacent tables and were told immediately to remove them. The seats were needed for the people coming in. (Once again- there was NO ONE there!) We'd have moved the coats if they needed the tables, obviously, but we were so put off by the rudeness of it overall, it ruined the experience. This place thinks they're too cool for school because they had a great concept and good food. Back that up with a bad attitude and ridiculous "policies" and you've got nothing. I will never go back.

    My girlfriend and I are in from California and came to green dot stables on the recommendation of our hotel valet, the atmosphere is cool Matt our server knows what he is doing and the product he is selling , she ordered a cheese burger and Cajun fries , I ordered a fried chicken, Korean, and cheese burger with truffle herb fries. This place is on fire

    Whenever we can wrangle a babysitter, my guy and I are haulin' tail to drink mint juleps and eat sliders at Green Dot. This place works on so many levels.. Dave can catch the game, I can listen to tunes, all the while mowing on poutine and some of the best sliders I've ever had. FYI, I always order a Korean, gyro, Buffalo chicken, and the mystery meat. Just writing about this place makes me want to declare tonight a DATE NIGHT.

    My brother and I came here the other day before the tigers game. There was a 30min wait for a table but the waiter said if we wanted we could order at the bar and eat outside. The bartender then preceded to tell us that that we could not order at the bar or eat it outside. So we left and went to Mercury Bar, better burger, better environment!!

  • Stephanie C.

    Oh my goodness where to begin? I heard so much about this place initially and I think I tuned out at sliders thinking "sounds so yummy but what could I get there as a non-meat-atarian?" So I put off my first visit or look at a menu. Big mistake. Thank goodness my friend Maria set me right. The menu features a huge array of sliders and many of them are veggie friendly too! It's visionary for any taste. From corned beef with kraut to lamb with rosemary hummus to my personal favorite - a Chipotle PBJ with a kick that leaves you wanting more. And the sides are just as fabulous. Kale salad? Yes. Spicy mushroom broth? Mmmmhm. It's all fantastic, down to the beer menu. And every little item comes with a little price tag. I'd go here on a date. With friends. Hit the bar by myself. You name it. Give me more Green Dot Stables. You're a great bet for just about anyone. No fancy horse names required.

    Wow! I went to pick my husband up for lunch (he was working down town, I had the afternoon off). We had never been here before, but it came highly recommended by friends. When we pulled in the lot about 1pm, there was very little parking. The place was packed. There was a little bit of a wait for a table (about 10 minutes for 2 people). The place had a great buzz for a lunch crowd. The menu is divided into sections. Sliders, fries, sides, desserts, etc. Everything (as near as I could tell) was 2 or 3 dollars. Even a bottle of 2 Hearted Ale was 3 dollars! I had a Cuban and a cheeseburger slider, my husband had the BCT, mystery meat (reindeer) and a Bologna. All terrific. I had a side of mac and cheese and we split Le Poutine fries (fries with cheese curds and gravy). Yum! All for 23 dollars (plus tip). Great stuff. We will be back.

  • Rina B.

    I like the concept of various sliders. I am sure if I ate beef or pork I would have enjoyed my sliders more. But the threee vegetarian selections were just ok, with the tempeh slider being the best of the three options. The mac and cheese, however, was delicious.

    5 of us went for lunch today and I will say I am a fan! I had the Korean (I like Kimchee and Peanuts so why not try it?) and the Mystery Meat - a sort of aged dashi tofu with wasabi mayo and seaweed salad with a side of the mac and cheese with blue cheese and mushrooms. Everything was very delicious! Everyone was please with the meals, but the less adventurous among us remarked that they wish they would have been more adventurous as well. So I would say, try something new - it's a slider after all not a commitment! Will go again for sure!

    I'll contribute to the other 59859509430 positive reviews on here (yes that number is accurate...). My fiancee and I stopped through here on the way to the auto show this weekend It's been on my radar ever since I saw it pop up on Yelp under the 'hot new businesses' and finally we got around to trying it. Honestly- I'm kicking myself that it took us this long to try this place. Everything is ridiculously tasty and fresh. There are SO many flavor options to choose from it's impossible to get bored. This trip: Clam Chowder with a nice drizzle of siracha Mystery meat of the day- Kobe beef Cuban Fried Chicken ** added bacon thanks to the very friendly and attentive servers suggestion- A MUST if you haven't tried it. It's like breakfast on crack. Wash it all down with a local Michigan brew.... HEAVEN A great place to visit while in Detroit. I'm already looking forward to the next time we come. See you soon Green Dot. You sexy son of a.... .

    Don't be turned off by the lack of anything nearby. Big parking lot-so you're fine! It's worth the trek! What a great creative place! definitely KISS-keep it simple stupid! A bunch of sliders, fries sides, cheap drinks. Mix and match. Done. Great model for a business to survive. Lamb slider, Cuban slider, buffalo slider, mystery meat, Truffle fries, just go nuts-it's cheap!

  • Jenn A.

    FINALLY!!!! I had been wanting to try this place for well over a year and I'm SO glad I did. The cuban slider was by far my favorite and the truffle fries are to die for. Be prepared to wait if you are going during a prime time, but keep your eyes open and you just may score a seat at the bar.

    Detroit being a city of reinvention (like the Michigan native Madonna), or rather, a city with a series of failed attempts to reinvent itself (not unlike the latter-day Madonna), it is only fitting that my sister suggested she and I meet for lunch at a one-year-old restaurant that used to be either a bar with equestrian motifs or a horse-riding stable in the long-derelict part of Corktown, a historic neighborhood in Southwest Detroit. Green Dot Stables specializes in artisan beers and sliders with international flavors. It also prides itself in sourcing high-quality ingredients and, whenever possible, using locally-grown foods. I ordered three sliders and two sides. Kale salad (with quinoa, shallots and lemon vin) and French fries with truffle and herb (perhaps I should call them pommes frites to convince you of its delectability) were both excellent. So was my Korean slider (beef patty with peanut butter and kimchi) and tempeh slider (marinated Indonesian soybean cake with wasabi mayo and wakame). The mystery du jour can be a hit or miss. My sister raved about the camel meat she had. However, neither she nor I was crazy about the kangaroo vindaloo (Indian curry) with fried paneer (a South Asian cheese). I expected the macropod meat to be gamey but it shouldn't be as dry as it tasted. After consulting with a Melbourne-based Aussie mate, I concluded that the dish was indeed overcooked. That said, Green Dot Stables is uniquely Detroit yet can easily be part of any best-of list in the country.

  • Sam M.

    Good god this place is incredible. First time I was there, the Mystery Meat slider of the day was Duck Meat with Lavender and Cream Cheese spread. Can you say incredible? My other favorite: the Korean. Kimchi and Peanut Butter on a slider? So amazing, I recreated it at home! Above all, those truffle fries are the PERFECT mix of sweet and salty; I find myself craving them on a regular basis! Not only that, the beer and drink selection is very, very impressive. Great mojitos, better MI beers. The service has been above average every time, too. Servers are nice, down to earth and attentive, something I really appreciate. But most of all, everything on the menu is under $3. Yes, under $3. So if you want to go out for $15, you can. If you want to go out for $40, trust me, you'll figure it out. I love that there are options, many, many options. I can't say enough great things about the place.

    Much like everyone else I have nothing but positive things to say about GDS. It's a bit off the beaten track but well worth the risk of driving while looking at your phone GPS to find the place. My visit here was after Baconfest where I was given a voucher for one free menu item. Once I found the place I was happy to find GDS has a parking lot for itself. Upon walking through the door I found the place to be pretty spiff with multiple levels kind of like a split-level house. GDS has a really cool 50's dive bar kind of feel to it. Old honey stained oak and brass rails are what stood out to me. How the hell does this place do it? Nothing over $3? How is this possible. Not only is this place stupid cheap its good food too. The variety of sliders is mind numbing. So solid sides as well of which I had the mac 'n cheese. Not the best I've ever had but certainly not the worst either. Drinks are the same as the food menu as well, nothing over $3. I had never had a moscow mule until I went to GDS but it has been a staple in my house since. I do declare it to be the official drink of summer '12. In an area dominated by Slow's, Green Dot Stables stands it's own. Psst.... Don't tell anyone I said this but I would rather go here than Slow's any day.

    Slider Heaven. Out of the way but not for long - DETROIT IS COMING BACK. Slider Heaven - too many kinds to describe but will highlight a few. Korean - awesome - peanut butter and kimchi on a burger. Catfish - awesome - tarter and pickles. Bologna - awesome - according to the 9 year old. She had it sans onions. BBQ Bacon - very good - according to the better half. Fries also are very very good - all of them. BTW this place is cheap. Most sliders are $2 - $3. This also is a VFW pour place . I plan on bringing my Detroit staff once a month! Go Detroit!

    This place is freaking amazing! My fiance and I came here after checking out qualifying at the Grand Prix last weekend. We followed my GPS and pulled into the parking lot, feeling a little nervous. This place is in the middle. of. nowhere. But it's worth it. We walked in and pushed through the swinging saloon doors, feeling like a couple of cowboys. We found a seat near the bar and sat down to peruse the menu. Are you kidding me??? Nothing over $3???? A $2 bottle of Bud Light?!?! Wow. I could only hope that the burgers were as good as the prices...and I was not disappointed! Fiance and I each got 2 cheeseburger sliders and an order of regular fries. The waiter tried to tell us to get the truffle fries but we both have the pallet of a caveman and we just like plain ol' fries. Food came out super quickly. The sliders are small but fat, and plenty juicy. The grilled onions on top were soft and gave just enough of an onion flavor to taste it, nothing too overpowering. There was TONS of cheese and the little buns were soft and fluffy, cradling that little meat patty like it was a baby. I can't believe these sliders. They are so good. And the fries! Fiance was like...WTF? Skinny fries? These are going to suck. How wrong he was!!! They're SUPER crispy and crunchy, just the way I love them. The kitchen added just enough salt that I didn't need to add any more, and they were so good I didn't even use ketchup (if you knew me, you would know that this is a major accomplishment...I use large amounts of ketchup on EVERYTHING). I only wish I was more hungry so I could have tried that nutella smore! We will definitely be back! 4 delicous sliders, 2 fries, and 2 beers for $16?? Oh yes.

    Went here after a failed attempt to further my Dukedom at Slows. This place is AWESOME. They have a whole page full of different sliders to choose from. I got a bunch, some weren't so good (grilled cheese) and others were good (kangaroo). But their normal cheese burger was by far the best. I ended up ordering more food because it was so good. I also had their mac and cheese which i thought was excellent. It was a thinner white cheese based one but was really good. I will be back again. Watch out slow's: any time your wait is more then 20 mins i am going to Green Dots! I also wanted to point out that green dots had multiple vegaterian friendly sliders.

    Terrific food, great atmosphere. A real treasure - how can you ask for more? Known for the sliders, it's really cool that they have a mystery meat that consistently adds to the menu. The fries are really tasty, short and thin cut. Great bar and tvs aplenty without being pervasive.

    This place is DAMN good and has a unique style, which I dig. It's definitely a spot I could frequent, and the menu caters to indecisive people. WOOP. It provides the ability to mix and match sliders and sides since everything is priced a la carte. It's not as cheap as it initially seems. I have a fairly normal appetite and I ordered 3 sliders and 2 sides which was the perfect amount for me. $3 x 5= $15 for a delicious and hearty meal. Oh, and I ordered a vodka/soda/basil/lemon drink and the s'more dessert. So all in all I was out about $25 bucks, and it was worth it. DRINKS are definitely a bargain here. That cocktail I had was only $3 and it was tasty as hell. Food is only a bargain if you eat like a bird--otherwise, it's fairly priced for the quality. I was here with 3 other people so we sampled each other's orders. The only thing that wasn't OM NOM NOM MORE was the mac and cheese. I took a bite, liked it, but I didn't crave more of it after that. It was good but not as impressive as everything else I tried, which was as follows: BBQ Bacon Slider- DA BOMB!!! Korean- UNIQUELY FLAVORFUL & DAMN TASTY (especially if you dig peanuts). Black Bean- I LIKE!! A tad dry though. My least favorite of the three sliders I tried. Truffle & Herb Fries- SOLID. But I'm not huge on fries. Potato Salad- YUM, and on the healthy side which I like Cucumbers Side- BASIC with HEAVENLY DIP Hummus- DIPPING BREAD=TOP NOTCH. Hummus is good but not the best. Smore- GOOD, NOT GREAT. Bun threw me off but it made sense. Mac & Cheese- PRETTY GOOD, NO WOW FACTOR I figured all-caps would satisfy review skimmers haha I have no complaints. I was happy here and everything went smoothly with laughing, good company, and good grub. HOWEVER If I did have a complaint--it would be that they don't really care about the buns here. The buns are OK, but basically just a vessel for the exceptional contents of said bun. That probably sounded wrong, but you get the point!!! GO HERE :D!!!!!!!! Side notes: One of my friends wasn't a fan of the mystery meat slider but my other friend was--toss up I suppose. The friend who wasn't a fan of the mystery meat slider also commented that the lamb slider tasted different compared to other lamb items she's tried, but she still ate it and liked the food overall.

    After being totally dissed at Two James Distillery, we headed over to Grren Dot for drinks and sliders. Awesome. Would have liked it even if we hadn't been "Brooklyned" at the other place. Egg-CELLENT sliders, friendly efficient service and the price is right!

    So these sliders are like having pillows of heaven. Oh and these fries and this chili sauce is simply amazing. I found myself ordering more and more 2 orders of chili fries and 6 sliders later I wondered where has this place been my whole life! The one reason that I took off a star was due to the long wait for a table and once you are seated it took a while for food. Other than that my friends and I had a blast!

    I had heard so many good things about this place so I decided to check it out one afternoon with a friend, and it did not dissapoint! I loved everything I ordered! The buffalo chicken sliders were my favorite, but I also got the BCT and philly cheese steak which were also pretty dang delish. The mystery meat of the day was bull testicles, and while intrigued, I decided to pass. Definitely a place worth trying, I cant wait to return!

    So, I have to start by saying that calling their food sliders is a bit deceiving. I would classify them more as mini burgers, as they aren't steamed. Don't get me wrong, the variety Green Dot offers is definitely the draw. However, I felt like there was just too much dry bun action. I will say that prices for everything is beyond reasonable. There's not a lot of places that can beat the prices of the food and drinks.

    A stable with no horses. A bar with no alcohol (yet). How could it possibly work? When everything about this place screams "horse!"- the classic jockey helmets, black/white/green classic race photos, nameplates of old jockeys, race tickets on the barstep - a horse will appear in your imagination. Actually, there *is* a horse- on the roof. As for liquor, the license is on the way any day (co-owner Jacques is thinking as early as Monday), but for now you can practice at home for this joint's arrival on the nightlife scene by drinking anything from local brews (Bells, Atwarer, Dragonmead), liquid testaments of substance-free marketing (Bud, Strohs), the Polish classic Zywiec, and a handful of choices for red & white wines. For now this place holds its own as a simple lunch joint, somewhere I'd probably visit regularly if I lived in the Motor City. With each item at $2-$3 (sliders, soups, and salads), it's easy to scale portions to your appetite and mix new experimentation with reliance on known favorites. My waitress for my first visit looked me over and thought I was a 3 slider + 1 salad kind of guy, and she was spot on. Personally I think it's hard to get the texture right on thin-cut burgers and the pulled pork tasted distinctly "meh," but I've figured out a five star meal involving a Korean slider (kimchi-peanut butter) and perfectly grilled Hot Brown (chicken and bacon) slider as well as the quinoa/lemon/shallot kale salad. The owners- a couple who recently moved to Detroit from San Diego- are still brimming with enthusiasm for their new joint and seem to have paid attention to all the details. Dim light provided by rusty chandeliers creates a warm but personable vibe, and swivel stools with armrests fronting the low bar may be the most comfortable anywhere. Music is consistently classic Motown, which feels right for the joint. This land of horseless carriages needed a carriageless horse, and now they've got it again.

    It was great! You can't beat the prices and the food were all good! My favorite slider was the catfish one. The other ones I tried were Korea, Cuban, Tempeh, and Blackbean which were all good. Everything is either $2 or $3! We went on a Saturday night around 6:30 and it was packed. We waiting for about 40 minutes. FYI, if you start a tab at the bar you can't continue adding drinks to it at your table. Also, there is a $10 min. for credit card tab.

    We sat at the bar and the bartender was very helpful. I picked the woodchuck apple beer and 6 different sliders and the seasoned fries on the side. All of the sliders were pretty tasty. The fries were a little salty but very good nonetheless. Good atmosphere, friendly service!

  • Leila-Anne C.

    This place is so awesome. I got the kale salad and hummus/fried pita bread plates. The pita bread/hummus was amazing! It's hard to find a place where vegans can find delicious food right alongside their meat-eating companions. And it's so cheap!

    I went here last night for the first time, and I will most definitely be back, and frequently. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was just as nice and helpful as can be. By the time we got around to ordering, our drinks came quickly, with the food coming a bit later (we ordered our drinks before we placed our food orders, so all in all it was pretty quick). First of all, the drinks. I started off with the "hard cider", which was a bottle of Angry Orchard cider. I'd had it before at Woodbridge Pub, so I knew I would like it. Downed 3/4 of it before the food even arrived - it was that tasty/I was that thirsty. Followed that up with a mint julep (good, but not amazing) and a Moscow Mule (that one stole the show - they use Goya ginger beer, which has a great ginger flavor). My friend had a "Gin Promise", which he said was good. For the four drinks, it was $12. Then, the food. We were a bit gluttonous last night, to be honest. I went through the Korean, Pulled Pork, Lamb, and Corned Beef sliders, which were all very good. My friend had the Cheeseburger, Curry Chicken, and Black Bean sliders, and he said they were all good as well (I didn't try any of his, so that's really just hearsay). We split sides of the Poutine, Truffle & Herb, Cajun, and Malt Vinegar fries, and mac & cheese - all were very good. Favorite was probably the Cajun fries, though. Bottom line, it's very good food at a great price. However, the one little thing that is a bit deceptive is the portion sizes - sure, everything is $2 or 3, but things like the fries are literally a handful. It's justified, I think, by the extreme cheapness of the drinks and sheer quality of the food.

    Mystery Meat was a link with a tough casing the day I was there. But tough casing aside the smoky flavor was delish and a perfect pair to my Jameson\rocks. The Cuban is legit. It's always on the menu. Get that, can't go wrong. Truffle fries were so good that I ate the last few when they were ice cold. Still good. The Hot Brown was OK but would have benefited from grilling the bun. That plus the tough sausage casing are my only complaints . Environment? Dark (properly so) plenty of parking, hipster bartender in skinny shorts, socks, loafers, mustache. I almost thought I was back home in Oakland for a minute. The $2 and $3 menu items reminded me I wasn't in California. We pay $5 for a slider from a roach coach. I'm so jealous of Detroit diners - you have no idea how good you have it here!!!

  • Harry F.

    A bit on the dark side would describe the decor, a bit on the AWESOME side would describe the food. The menu consists of mainly sliders, all different variations of savory ingredients packed in to little steamed buns. The value is amazing everything is pretty much under $4. This allows you to try several different sliders and sides. The cocktails are inexpensive as well, I had a cucumber vodka drink that I still try to recreate at home. The service is quick and friendly, very knowledgeable of the menu items. This may be my favorite new place of the year.

  • Carolyn M.

    One of our favorite places. Food is great. Staff is sweet. Never had anything but a great time here. We bring our out of town folks here a lot. I've pretty much sampled all the sliders by now and they were all good but my top three list is....1 tempeh 2 corned beef and 3 quinoa. I love the fries and the mini kale salad. My hubby's favorites are BCT (bacon, cucumber & tomato), tempeh, and pizza slider. This is a great place. Nice work Green Dot.

  • Nykol M.

    Dined at this place for the first time in October, 2013, after hearing really positive reviews from colleagues. My friend and I went for lunch. The place is more like a pub that's reminiscent of the one on "Cheers". My friend had mac and cheese, two sliders and we shared the truffle oil and herb fries. I ordered the sweet potato salad with pumpkin seeds, kimchi slider the"mystery meat" slider. The salad and fries were good, although a little sparse. The "mystery meat" slider of the day was alligator and venison with a sauce over it. I have had alligator and venison before, although not as a combo, so I am familiar with both tastes. However, I have always had my 'gator fried, so it loses some of its swamp-water taste. As the meat for the slider was not, I could definitely taste the 'swampiness' , which was not pleasing to the senses. Fortunately, because the slider was small, I didn't waste a lot. On to the Kimchi: interesting combination of beef patty, a few slices of kimchi and peanut butter. I got this on the recommendation of the waitress, Danielle. Despite the odd peanut butter-kimchi combination, this selection was pretty tasty. I will likely return to GDS to try less exotic variations of an American classic: the alcoholic drinks, none of which I was able to order because I had to return to work, seemed very reasonably priced. I hope they don't disappoint.

    This place is great!!!! They had received their liquor licenses today and I had the first legal beer of the place. Its a little off the beat and path of Detroit resturants/bars but worth the extra mile. It has its own private parking lot, so you don't have to pay $5+ to park. The menu is pretty much all sliders, with a few sides and salads. I had 4 sliders and they were all delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. These are not your typical sliders. They are gourmet sliders and have a nice presentation. I got the Hot Brown, Bologna, Lamb, and Pulled Pork. The Hot Brown was my favorite, very good bacon. The Lamb had a nice spice to the meat. The Pulled Pork was very good, but I thought it could have used a little sauce. I am a saucy kind of guy though. I highly recommend this place and I will be returning again.

    For Detroit.....this place rocks. Cocktails, sliders, and a few sides, period. If you want a martini....go somewhere else. ( The bar menu has Grey Goose.....but no Grey Goose Martini..... ( whassup wit dat...U ain't got no vermouth in da house?) .... Weird, no? Noteworthy: Lamb , Cuban, Catfish, Bologna sliders, White Bean & potato salad , & Kale/Quinoa salad. Wait for it to hit Netflix...... "Hot Brown" slider, Poutine ( if you want real Poutine.....go to Montreal), & Clam Chowder.

    Went here last night for a last minute dinner -- literally everything was good. Had the korean slider, bacon bbq, grilled cheese, and a side order of mac & cheese. (I was in the mood for cheese, I guess.) Amazingly diverse menu with super delicious food. When we were there it was a bit packed with people visiting for the Tigers game, so it was a bit loud, but not enough to affect having a decent conversation over dinner. Would definitely go back.

    I've been here 2 times now in the course of a week and the good vibes, good reviews are all well deserved. If you want to have a unique twist on sliders that are made by someone who obviously cares about the food and a positive vibe, go here. It's just that simple. There's probably 12+ sliders each day and this is the kind of place where it's not White Castle or some diner. The combinations are interesting, the beer choices are good and the prices cannot be beat. I took my dad and he couldn't stop smiling. They had good music from the 50's to today, the decor is simple and has a 70's feel but the place is clean. He was impressed by the food, the beer selection and he was thrilled that it was kept uncomplicated. Not simple, just uncomplicated. You will pay for the food gladly and be happy with the cost. You can easily have a few sliders, great fries and a beer for $12. People are cool and the vibe is quality. They may get slow when slammed at lunch but it's not that bad and it's worth it.

  • Chelsea H.

    I feel crazy saying this, but Green Dot has some of the best food i've had in Detroit in recent memory. You get greasy, healthy, savory & sweet all in one menu, and with mini portions (and affordable prices) you can try some of everything. I like that I can order a side of kale as a slider chaser to balance things out a bit. Everything was delicious, the pheasant & crispy carrot slider in particular. The chocolate cheesecake was also pretty rad; super dense and chocolatey. I'm almost not looking forward to the liquor license because it is going to be packed in here.

  • Vassilis J.

    Cheap drinks is the draw here for me. Its a little too loud and ill designed for my tastes otherwise. The sliders are solid (Korean, cheeseburger, bologna), although some really miss (P&J) and service very fast here. Oh, and this is the place to watch soccer. This place doubles as a soccer bar.

    Green Dot is a gem! Yes it's a little dive-y, but I wouldn't want it any other way. The atmosphere is very relaxed which makes it easy to focus on the food, which is outstanding. A friend and I ordered one of everything (sliders) on the late-night menu and a side of shoestring truffle fries. Truffle-anything is a real weakness of mine, but these were genuinely finger-lickin' good. The sliders were wonderful and had unique flavors. Unfortunately the late-night menu didn't have the Au Poivre or lamb sliders but I will be back to taste these. I can't wait to go back...again & again & again & again!

  • Nicole C.

    Just a quick thought about this place. Sure the price is great! 3$ is the most you pay for anything. The food is delicious. I do like the policy of no substitution and first come first serve. However it is not really worth it. The fact that you get the smallest slider in the world for 3 bucks is a rip off! I would rather go buy 4 sliders at any other place for 8.99 rather than have to get 4 sliders and actually pay 12$. Don't let the 3$ menu fool you. Because you will spend more than you thought and will probably leave still hungry. Terrible for the customer and awesome for the business owner.

    I read the restaurant review in the" Play" section of the Free Press last week, I had to try the Green Dot Stables. It was a pleasant surprise and a hidden gem in Downtown Detroit and pretty easy to get to (especially if someone else is driving) right on Lafayette. I don't know what the place looked like before, but the inside of the restaurant was clean with a combination of tables/booths/ and large counter space for eating at the bar (we preferred the bar seating). As the name indicates, it has a horse/race track/ stable theme/decor. Very artsy paintings of horses/disc jockeys on the wall by the bathrooms completed the look, giving the interior in that part of the restaurant an "edgy feel". Why are the horses and people "blinded"?? Parking was free and easy, since they have their own parking lot, so no worries there! We started our lunch with a hummus appetizer. The hummus was tasty-not bland as some hummus can be-and the sliced flatbread that it was served with was hot (temperature-wise) and so good I thought they were cottage fries! We also had the Truffle and Herb French Fries and they were delicious! Nice thin cut fries-crispy but not too crispy- perfectly fried! As everyone else has said, the menu was all sliders/ all the time! These are the ones we tried: 1. The Cheeseburger slider was one of my favorites. You just can't go wrong with a burger slider. 2. The BCT (bacon, cucumber with tomato sauce aioli) was really good too, the bacon was crispy and the cucumber gave it a nice "crunch". The tomato sauce (aioli-so does that mean it had some garlic/mayo in it?) was good, but I did wish it had a little slice of tomato. 3. The Shredded Pork slider was tasty too. It was topped with purple cabbage, and matchstick slices of Granny Smith Apple. I know some people would like a little sauce with this slider, but without the sauce you can really taste the Pork. It had a good taste and was very tender. 4. My son liked the Ham and Swiss slider. It had thickly sliced Dearborn Ham-really good- and the swiss cheese was melted on top-Perfect! All of the sliders I have mentioned above were only $2 each!!! So I had to order more.... 5. The Curry Chicken slider - the curry was not overpowering and the chicken was a good piece and size. It had a mixture of cauliflower and onions on it. Very creative! 6. Au Poivre slider - Beef patty spiced with peppercorns with a cognac aioli was good if you like cracked pepper- it was a little too peppery for me, so I would not order it again. 7. The Blackbean slider- with mixed greens and a slice of tomato (there's the tomato I wanted for my Bacon slider!!) My husband loves blackbeans and he loved this burger! I did wish that they had another "healthy" slider, maybe a Turkey slider, a sliced turkey breast slider or a roasted veggie slider? It was a very affordable lunch since everything on the menu was $2-3!!! Service was good, we got our food quickly! I can't say anything bad about the place! We will definitely be back, next time for dinner and drinks too!!! (I heard that they have their liquor license now). Good luck to the New Owners, great job!

    Love love LOVE this place! Nothing on the menu is over three dollars, which would be fine even if all you were getting was basic, boring food. Instead, you get to select from a fairly large menu of sliders, drinks, and sides. They have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options (I could eat the kale salad for every meal!), and interesting and well made drinks in addition to a solid beer selection. The service is always prompt, and the entire staff seems to be comprised of sweethearts. It's a really great crowd too, a mix of all kinds of good people--young and old, hip and square etc... If you're going on a Friday or Saturday night, or right after a Tigers game, be prepared to wait for a table, somewhere this awesome tends to draw a crowd.

    Went to Green Dot yesterday afternoon. Again, thanks to all you yelpers for not steering me wrong. First of all don't be put off by their location - they're basically in the middle of nowhere. It's definitely worth it. First the decor - love it - just has a warm and fuzzy feeling as soon as you walk in. You know it's just the kind of comfortable place you want to hang out. I loved the "curtainy" thing around the bar area - again comfy cozy. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the swinging doors. Can't remember the last time that happened. With all the new "hipster" joints around town they could care less if you're there or not. Decided to sit at the bar and take it all in. Bartender was friendly and willing to answer any questions we had about the menu. Hubby ordered Founders Porter and I had the Summer Soda (Yummy!). I can't wait to go back if just for this drink. Very refreshing and the perfect summer sipper. We weren't that hungry but we couldn't pass up ordering something from all the yummy sounding concoctions. Hubby ordered the BBQ bacon with the sweet potato on it and I got the Lamb. Both were very tasty. But the tip topper were the trufle fries. I have to say I am not a fan of the "skinny" fries. But these were probably the best fries I have ever had (in the shoestring variety). They were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside and perfectly seasoned. Not sure what they do to them - but yum-yum. And then there are the prices - are you kidding me! Everything on the menu is around $2-$3. Even the drinks. When was the last time you got a cocktail for $3? As previously posted here, yes your bill can still add up - - if you want to try several things on the menu and drinks - but still - - go anywhere else and it'll cost you triple. You can't even get a Happy Meal for that! Overall great place, great food, great vibe. Can't wait to go back! Good luck to them I hope they make it - another great gem in Detroit.

    Deck Detail Co. 1031 Cherry Plymouth, Michigan (734) 420-1700 DeckDetail.com Deck Detail did a beautiful job restoring our deck! They were recommended by a friend in Livonia and we thank her. J came to quote the job and was professional, knowledgeable and made very helpful suggestions. T in the office was so patient with all my questions. :) The gentlemen who did the work were experienced, professional and supported the company name by not missing one single detail. The application was done by HAND, not sprayed, and this made a huge difference compared to other companies we've used. The cedar color is absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be more please and highly recommend!!

  • Amelia H.

    I'm gonna be honest - I think this place is just okay, and more than just a little overhyped. The fact that everything is little and cheap seems to really distract people from the quality. They have $3 cocktails, but they're sized appropriately - so yes, they're small. And the sliders are pretty consistently underwhelming. They could really take it to another level, but they're content with things like deli beef and squeeze-bottle cheese on two white bread buns ('Philly cheesesteak'). And that's fine. But let's not oversell it - it's just fine. As with a lot of Detroit places, you'll find that a lot of the raving reviews are by out-of-towners who are interested in novelty over quality, and again - that's fine! And for what it's worth, because everything is so small you'll probably end up spending $15+ anyway - so if you're looking to get a lot of food on the cheap, you should go elsewhere. Otherwise, it's not bad for bar sliders and cheap beers. Also, great outdoor seating. But it is what it is.

    I came here on the yelp recommendations and true to form, it was a great experience. I came right around 1pm when the lunch crowd was about to leave. So we couldn't find parking for 5+ minutes, but as soon as the lunch crowd started leaving there was ample parking. My party of 4 ordered about 10 different kinds of sliders and halved each of them to share. Not all of them were great, but most were pretty good. Nothing was intolerable. I gotta say the most memorable by far is the PB&J. Unfortunate really, since why would I go eat a PB&J at a restaurant?! Even if it's only $2. They serve their sliders in little paper bowl type things. I understand that it's practical but I'm a little sad for mama earth. The ambiance is great and I would go again in a heartbeat. While it is cheap, if you get a few sliders and a few drinks, it's gonna build up!

  • Brad P.

    One of the best places I have eaten in a long time! I tried 5 different sliders, the humus, truffle fries, and the New England clam chowder. Every single one was delicious. The only problem we had was an under cooked catfish slider. They made me a new one, took it off the bill, and even gave me a free item next time we come in. BRAVO! Your customer service will keep me coming back. You guys have what the other chains lack. This is truly a hidden gem in Detroit.

    My first time here, I wasn't sure what to expect. Parking is rough, but that tends to be a fairly standard predicament. We came on a day with both hockey and baseball games going on (at least, I think that's what it was... yay, Sports?), so they were busy. A little crowded, but not claustrophobic. We gave our name to the hostess, grabbed a drink at the bar, and went and sit out on the patio. The patio area was where everyone waiting for a table was directed, which is genius. It keeps crowds of hovering people from watching over your shoulder as you eat, and keeps the congestion inside the building to a minimum. It's extra nice that the patio is a sheltered area, so you're protected from the elements and can sit at one of the picnic tables and chat with your group until your table is ready. YOU HAVE TO GET THE TRUFFLE HERB FRIES. Have to - no option. It's a must. So, so, so good. I don't even like mushrooms! If they have it available, ask for a side of honey and dip them. Oh my goodness, it will change your life. Definite umami, in my opinion. To drink, I had the Gin Promise, which was fabulous. Fruity and not overly sweet, this is my new go-to beverage. For only being three dollars, the drink selection is very impressive. There is definitely something for everyone. The sliders were a little smaller than what I was expecting, but two or three are plenty, especially with the aforementioned truffle fries. I decided on the Fried Bologna and the Hot Brown. Both were quite tasty. I also love that the menu is available on their website, so that if you're indecisive like I am, you have plenty of time to mull over your options :) We didn't do dessert on this trip, so I can't speak to that. I hear the Macaroni and Cheese is amazing, so that's on my list for the next visit. And there will definitely be more visits!

  • Amber S.

    I must be the only person who is not impressed with this restaurant. Every single slider is served on the same plain, so-so bun; in fact, none of the food seems particularly high-quality. The Cuban was good; the chicken was greasy. Cheap prices but you get what you pay for, I guess. The drinks I had from the bar was good and I haven't had a problem with the service.

  • Denny P.

    Some of the best bar food around! The sliders are delicious and they are really inventive and cheap ($2-3)! Of course, you make up for this price by ordering a few different sliders. Also, the Mac and Cheese is delicious. Portions are small, but totally reasonable for the price. This place gets packed just about every day of the week and the waiters are understandably very busy. They also have a lot of outdoor patio seating and a full bar. Truly a great slider joint!

    Decided to take a late night cycle ride from Brighton & ended up @ Green Dot Stables. Amazing place !! We were told that the wait for a table was 45 minutes but so what? Place was packed with a mixture of young & old, college age & semi hippy. As it was, we were seated within 30 minutes. So far, so good. The sliders are all $ 3.00 with our drinks being priced the same amount unless it was the best tequila @ $ 6.00. Our waitress Sam, was exceptionally good. She is a Wayne State student & knew every slider on the menu when we asked a question. In addition, she was courteous & upbeat & was prompt with our drinks even though she was very busy. We had the catfish, mystery meat, Cuban, buffalo chicken & corned beef. Decided to try the venison cheese fries. Each & every slider was phenomenal. Needless to say, we will be back there to try all the other sliders on their menu.

    Unfortunately, sometimes you just can't believe the hype about some places. We came here for a quick lunch before heading to Eastern Market on a Saturday. We were initially really stoked to check this place out as we have heard really amazing things about Green Dot Stables from both close friends who frequent GDS and Yelp too. Maybe our hopes were too high or something, but we left feeling a little let down. We sat at the bar, and our bartender was a little on the cocky side, but he was decently knowledgable about the beer selection and was helpful (when he remembered to check on us). The service was spotty at best, though. I ordered a bloody mary and couldn't even choke it down it was that bad. I watched the bartender make it and it was only vodka and Bloody mix. No lime juice, no worcestershire, no nothing. I think their mix was expired because it seriously tasted like ass. There was a cucumber wedge, so at least I had that going for me. We were really excited for the sliders, because that's what we really came there to get. We tried the mystery meat (which was Kangaroo), the fried chicken, the coney dog and the regular hamburger slider. We also ordered a kale salad and french fries. The portions are SMALL. Like smaller than what you think you get for a slider. They seemed like little half sliders that's how small they were. And the kale salad was about three leafs total. Everything there is $2 & $3 though, so it wasn't terrible that everything was so small. Overall, the sliders were okay, but they weren't amazing. The chicken slider was way overdone and was super dry. The mystery meat was sweet and the coney slider was pretty good too (how can you mess up a coney though, for real?). Eh. I so badly wanted to join in with the rest and really love this place, but overall I give the "Meh" two star review.

    I've been here twice. Once with a friend and once by myself. The sliders are actually really good. I do wish they had a deal like 3 for $8 or something. I also wish that they would have some lawn bowling or horse shoes or some other activity on the patio.

    Everything is amazing. Great staff, cheap drinks and the best sliders ever. Everyone should experience this restaurant. But get there early and stay late.

    The epicenter of Detroit Hipsterdom but also a great bar and grill where the staff is awesome and the prices are fantastic. The long wait is easily passable when you realize that a round of drinks for 6 people costs $15! The sliders are unique and tasty. I recommend you always start with the cheeseburger and work your way out from that. If that little thing was bigger, it could rule the burger world. The gyro and ham and cheese were good too. Don't forget to ask about the mystery meat. I'll definitely be back!

    Sliders are delicious!! And pretty unique - they always have something interesting new on the menu. Absolutely love the Cajun fries, which are mini like the sliders. It gets way too crowded and they won't seat your party unless everyone is there, which is pretty annoying. But there is outdoor seating at least.

    Drop your pants, because this place is awesome. do you environment is a little shady though, it looks like you're in a fight club outback A farmers house. and the route we took going there was shady as hell, I thought I was going to get robbed by my own driver. The restaurant itself and the food make up for it, three they are small portions so you may want to get locked. it is packed with flavor and the drinks there complement them very well. Oh, just an FYI do not drop your pants. Dress code is casual, but you do need to be wearing something otherwise you will get no service.

    Green Dot is a Detroit staple. My only qualm is it's hard to get in, so it's better for a small group and get there early! Two people might be able to squeeze in at the bar, as I have done before, but expect to wait on the weekend. In my opinion, it is well worth the wait. Can't go wrong with inexpensive craft cocktails and gourmet sliders that won't break your bank. The ambience is what sold me on them initially. A calm, quant gathering in an area you'd least expect. It's refreshing! It should be a regular stop on your Detroit tour. And the truffle fries?! Nom Nom Nom!

    Thanks UTR for the heads-up on this little gem! Went for lunch after having the honor of presenting the flag for the Detroit Tigers on Opening Day with my sons, and it was super fun! Buffalo Chicken, Hot Brown, Gator ALL awesome and really loved le poutine!! Good food and cheap (price, not quality!) beer - what more could you ask for? How about a Tiger shut out of the Twins! GREAT DAY!

  • Sam B.

    Green Dot Stables does have some great ambience. It's cheap and it feels like you're just hanging out at a buddies place. There is nothing fancy about the meal or location. All plates are served in the same cardboard plates. My girlfriend and I split 7 different sliders. They were all good. The Fried Chicken, Grilled Cheese, and Buffalo Chicken were our favorites. We also had the Catfish which was okay, but not my favorite. We also had the wedge salad which was good but a small serving. The worst part of this place is the line! We came on a Friday night and it took 2 hours just to get sat. I'm just glad it was a nice day and we could sit outside and enjoy a drink! I'd definitely recommend to anyone in the Detroit area.

    We had tried to go to Green Dot in the past and we were not able to get in without a very long wait. So we had high expectations for this place. But after our recent experience, I can't recommend this place to others. First of all, we got there fairly early this time and still had to wait quite a while to be seated,. We couldn't help but noticing that there were empty tables while we waited and after we were seated. While I understand the concept of go to the bar and wait, sometimes the rationale for waiting is not because the restaurant wants to keep the service running smoothly. But OK, we eventually were seated. And our order was taken quickly. But it felt like forever for our main dishes (well not exactly dishes; more like fast food cardboard cups) to arrive. That was unfortunate, and when the food did get there, it was pretty cold. The menu itself was a letdown. You have a few choices. You can order sliders, or you can order sliders. And you can order fries and tiny salads. The prices were low enough and for the price per slider, you can order a lot. But they just weren't very good. If they had been fantastic, we would have ordered more, but we really didn't enjoy them very much. What was wrong? Well, first of all, the sliders had so much drippy sauce on them, I felt like I had been subjected to a lube job. And cold fried food is never all that great. So my cold fried chicken dripping in mayo, was not great and my cold deep fried fish was similarly slimy. Now I ordered the mystery meat, which on the day we visited was wild boar. That was a little bit better, but it was served au poivre and that kind of killed the taste of the meat. We also ordered salad items. I ordered the wedge salad. It was tasty, but the wedge was so small that it seemed as if it could have been a wedge of a Brussels Sprout. I also ordered the French Fries made with Venison Chili. It arrived fairly cold, but I think this was the best food item I had at Green Dot. We each had an alcoholic beverage and they were fine. My policy is that I don't mind a drink at the table, if I am in the mood for a drink, but I never get force fed drinks at the bar while waiting artificially for a table just to pump the bar revenue. The service was horribly slow. The food was mediocre at the very best. And the décor was cheesy. The wait was artificially long. What more can I say. There are a lot more places to try than to repeat this experience. When we left, my wife said to me, "well I am not going to hurry back to this place. Meh...

  • Nicole L.

    If you love sliders, and crazy ass sliders, this is the place for you. Get there early, and expect a wait anyway. Wouldn't recommend large groups (unless you want to wait a very long time for multiple tables to open up) Also, do try to the Meat of the Day, and the Korean slider sounds odd, but is delightful. Also...kale salad. Because you have to get some greens in there somewhere, right?

  • Christina S.

    Obsessed with this place!!! Best sliders ever- they are so creative and interesting!!!! The environment is fun and the food is cheap!!! Everything on the menu is under $5!!!!! Their poutine is amazing, along with all their other fries too. My only complaint is there is always a wait, so it's best to go during the week!

  • Suzanne M.

    The food is great, sliders are $3 a piece, drinks are inexpensive and good. I wish that there was more connection from the service staff. I get the feeling they'd rather be somewhere else. I also feel that way at work sometimes, but no one needs to know I feel that way. I hope the next time I go, that the server offers outstanding hospitality. Getting things correct is important too, and they do that here.

  • Brittiany R.

    My favorite part of Green Dot is that they have renamed the neighborhood Corktown Shores which was extremely hilarious after 3 $3 craft beers, my delight is quite uncontrollable. I love the $2-$3 sliders with the Gyro and Mystery Meat at the top of my list. DO NOT let the Mystery Meat intimidate you-- oftentimes the ingredients are a bit out of the ordinary but they work perfectly together to create a memorable slider you will want seconds of. Paired with their delicious Truffle and Herb Fries, you're in for an inexpensive yet adventurous and delicious experience. Don't get taken away with the slider side of the menu, flip over to the sides/dessert side which has all-star hits as well including their Chicken Paprikas soup, Mac and Cheese, and Kale Salad. All are well-sized (for their price), delicious additions to your meal. The two factors preventing Green Dot from 5 star status? The terrible, rough service. I have had pleasant, friendly waitresses but incredibly rude hostesses and food runners whom have literally barked at me and cut me off mid-sentence. Secondly, they have an awesome patio but they don't serve food out there. With an incredibly small interior and booming popularity, this means long waits for tables and food. Thankfully, $3 craft drinks can tide you over as you peruse the menu and deliberate on which sliders you'll experiment with.

  • Laura M.

    Green Dot Stables is amazing. Almost everything on the menu ranges from $2-3 so you're able to order quite a bit of food while keeping your wallet happy. They specialize on sliders, but they have everything from soups and salads to mac and cheese. The cocktails are incredible and usually run around $3 also. You really can't go wrong with this place. The food is excellent, the drinks are tasty, and the environment is awesome.

  • Nino C.

    Love this place!! I went here with a client during lunch and the sliders were great! Obviously, lunch in the D is hectic so be prepared to wait a little bit as this place is very popular. It's definitely a hole in the wall, and you would never know that this place serves up some of the best sliders in the country.. Sliders are pricey at $3 and fries too... but if they're this good, then they are worth it..

  • Andy P.

    Cool place. I made a special trip to Downtown Detroit to try it out. I guess my expectations were super high because of all the hype. It was just OK in my opinion. The prices are certainly low enough and the atmosphere was pretty cool...but I guess I expected more. Saying that...any business that is doing well in Detroit gets kudos from me.

  • Sir Poop A.

    Went for lunch today (Saturday) with the kids - it was full, but got a table within 5 minutes. Menu has a ton of choices of sliders from classic to unique. Also, fries, poutine, etc... My daughter also got a side of mac & cheese that was really good. All sliders are either $2 or $3, and beers were $3 or $4. Great place, and surprised I havent been here sooner.

    Once, I tried to make it out to Green Dot but my car wouldn't start. Since then I thought I just thought it wasn't meant to be. Other times I've tried to make plans but they always seemed to fall through! Recently, though, I finally did, and it was well worth the wait. Often imitated, never duplicated, Green Dot sets the standard for sliders in Detroit and the surrounding 'burbs. I love that there are 20 varieties of sliders because the fun is in trying different things every time (bad for me, good for their business). And everything either $2-$3? What more could you want? I had three sliders including truffle and herb fries and thought that was more than enough, but I feel like the average count for men has to be about 7. They're so tiny! (And I hear the sizes have gotten a bit smaller?) My favorites in order: - BCT (bacon, cucumber, tomato with mayo -- wasn't smeared on thick, so that was nice) - Quinoa (with kale and chimichurri) - Mystery meat (it was before Thanksgiving so the meat was Thanksgiving dinner so that was pretty great) Good service, great crowd. They're sliders so you're kind of in and out quickly, which is good for the always waiting crowd.

  • Heather L.

    O.K so who doesn't love a place where everything on the menu is $3 or less including the beer and cocktails? I went back and forth about 3 or 4 stars (you so padded the wait time-which you think would be a good thing, but then we sat food-less for quite awhile after you sat us). Love the variety of the menu, thought the food was fine-did not love my mystery meat selection (the meat was fine the sauce I was convinced was industrial cleaner) but my kids and husband were happy with their selections, wedge salad, a few orders of poutine fries, fried bologna sandwiches, etc. You want to know the biggest hit-the MUSIC, lol, my oldest daughter is convinced she was born in the wrong decade and loved your 50/60 selections-and I have to say I did too, all of my parents favorites!

    Left the auto show and immediately went to Green Dot to try the sliders. Waited about five minutes, beat the rush, and had an enjoyable meal. Four of us, had a variety of sliders, including the mystery meat which was explained to us as the U.S. version of Khobi (sp) beef, excellent. Everyone thought the food was good, hot, and very tasty. Spouse had soup, salad and snitched from everyone else's sliders. Lettuce wedge was fresh and flavorful, with real bacon bits. Soup was a cream based chicken also very good. All sliders were hot, consumed quickly. Included the Cuban, Philly cheese, BBQ, and regular. Servicer was pleasant and made some good suggestions, not only food but draft selections. We did try the "deserts", not overly impressed personally, but tables mates would order again, most preferred the marshmallow and peanut butter rendition of a amore. Worth the trip and would definitely return.

  • Eric J.

    Not bad food at all - the sliders are hit or miss, but even the misses aren't bad. The mixed drinks are all quite good and you can't beat the price. It would be a perfect spot for before and after a game, or just a quick dinner out, if it wasn't so popular. Victim of its own success. It's not good enough to trouble waiting for any real period of time, but it's the only place like it in town.

  • Krystal R.

    Awesome. I couldn't believe the value here. Where else can you get a $2 bottle of beer or slider and it's not a "special"? We went around 4 or so on a Saturday, 20 minute wait they said, it felt short. We grabbed a couple Oberons $3 and waited on the patio. (No food service outside just an fyi) The menu is variety city in terms of flavor. 2 Oberons, 2 Stellas, 5 sliders, $32. Great place for everybody and a friendly staff to boot.

  • Lynette A.

    The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because they could step up their cocktail game. Besides that this place is amazing and I can handle just having pop or water to go with these delicious sliders. I personally love the chicken buffalo. The only burger I tried and didn't care for was the black bean burger. It was exactly what the name describes and dry. But that might be your thing. Service is always good here and even if you have to wait for a table, it's not that bad. It's a pretty in and out place.

  • Kelly S.

    This place is great, it's a little small so there's most likely going to be a wait for a table but they have a full bar with very tasty specialty cocktails so you can sip while you wait. If the weather is nice you can wait outside...they have some picnic tables out back so you can grab a seat & enjoy your cocktails. When we were here they were offering up 2 specialty cocktails...the mystery drink was a chocolate cherry coke which sounded yummy but I didn't have one & the other was their summer soda which was a basil/cucumber something or other & I had a couple sips of one & it was really good! Now for the good stuff...the food. The menu isn't very big but it has variety & everything is under $3. You will find an array of sliders, salads, sides & desserts on the menu & when I was here I had the cheeseburger, philly steak & the fried chicken with some herb & truffle fries & everything was very yummy. The fried chicken slider has a maple syrup/sauce on it so the sandwich is like chicken & waffles in 3 bites, it was very good but the cheeseburger one was my favorite. The peeps I was with all raved about the catfish slider & the Korean slider but weren't too impressed with the Cuban. The clientele here is very hipster...we were surrounded by skinny jeans & bow ties which made for some fun conversation! Because the place is on the smaller side my biggest complaint is that you feel a bit rushed to eat & go. I had a coupon & didn't even have the chance to say I had it before we had our bill on the table & personally I was hoping to hang out here after dinner for a while & have a couple cocktails, maybe dessert later but I would have felt awful taking up a table when a group of people are corralled right behind me waiting for my seat. I'll definitely be back here for sure but now I know not to plan on making a night of it.

    In short: It's more bar, less gastropub. In long: Given the popularity of Green Dot on yelp, it has always been in my bookmarks to try. I love food and enjoy craft cocktails, so it seemed right up my alley... unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. I was delighted to see it packed on a Thursday afternoon. I had just finished my last final and took my husband on a date to celebrate. The service was just fine, really. The wait for our food was what seemed normal, given that they were busy, which was also fine. I think our disappointment stemmed from the quality of the food and drinks. For a place built up to have craft cocktails, we were bummed when my husband's Moscow mule came not in a copper mug but a collins glass. I know, this is cocktail snobbery, and for that reason I'm throwing it out of the considerations for this review. I had an expectation built up in my head. Which may be unfair. But I'm mentioning it for the other cocktail snobs reading this (why hello there). But of our drinks, I'll say that they just didn't seem well balanced. The Moscow mule just tasted of ginger with virtually no lime to help balance it out and my caramel apple cider just was overpowered by the caramel. I ordered the BBQ Bacon slider and the fried chicken slider. My husband ordered the venison fries with a Cuban slider.The addition of sweet potato to my BBQ slider was nice and complimentary, and he said the Cuban was the 'best part of the experience'... but otherwise the food was really 'meh'. (And in reviewing this, I realized I ordered the mac and cheese, which apparently left so little of an impression on me I forgot about it.) Don't get me wrong, I love food, and was excited and had an open mind! Green Dot just really missed the mark for us. I guess if I had been a bit more inebriated I would have been more forgiving, but we left just feeling so unimpressed. We actually went and had tacos at Hot Taco afterwords because we were so unsatisfied. I wish I could say something like 'they had an off day' but I don't think this is the case. I just think the experience wasn't what we anticipated.

    I was in town for work and we were trying to find a cool place to go, this place came up on yelp and seemed like a cool option, not to mention $3 cocktails! We ordered 7 different sliders to sample and a few sides, it was absolutely perfect for two really hungry out of towners. We also tried the desserts- the nutter butter was incredible, highly recommended. Glad we found this place, thanks yelp!

    Came here to watch a worldcup game. The place was packed. It was a fun place to be. I really liked it. They have a huge selection of sliders all of which were tasty and unique. My personal favorite was the Gyro slider, you'll need 3 at least per person. Great value. Very highly recommended for a sports bar/grill in the D.

  • Wendy P.

    Yep, I loved it. It's as fantastic as everybody says. Even calling it "THE GREATEST GODDAMNED BAR" is pretty spot on. I went to art school in Detroit years ago, and let me tell you, if this place had existed then, I would have probably grabbed a shopping cart and started squatting in the parking lot. It's that good. And cheap. And amazing. Fortunately, now I don't have to watch my pennies as much as I did when I was a broke art student, but that doesn't mean I don't love me a bargain! And even if EVERYTHING on the menu wasn't $2 or $3, I would still dig this place. I took my 78 year old mother there, and she loved it, too! She couldn't get over the $3 glasses of wine. The ambiance is great. Super chill, and just the right amount of wear. But that doesn't mean the place wasn't incredibly clean. I'm a stickler for cleanliness in the establishments I frequent, and this place had floors that shone. And clean restrooms. And non-stickey menus. The jockey themed decor was authentic and awesome. The service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive, polite and efficient. And patient with my mom, who likes to ask lots of questions. The food was delicious. I had the BBQ Bacon and the Catfish sliders. Mom had the Coney Dog and an order of hummus. She had wine and I had a Bell's tap. I can't wait to go back; maybe this place will encourage me to visit mom more often! A visit to Detroit will not be complete without stopping by Green Dot Stables. Trust me on this one, people.

    I went to the city with some friends to meet up with other friends on a Friday night. This place was packed. There was about an hour wait to get in. I guess the secret is out. So, this place serves sliders, sides and drinks. Everything is a la carte and about $2-3 each, even the drinks. The menu has a large variety of sliders from fancy, to ethnic, to plain, to vegetarian. I had the korean which was a burger with peanut butter and kimchee. It smelled bad but tasted delicious. I also got fried bologna which was tasty. I was impressed that the drinks and beer were only about $3 each. They had some great cocktails. The beer selection looked good. Overall, I thought the whole experience was great. I would like to come back when it was less busy but despite the chaos I thought the service and food was great.

    i am a fan. i like it here. i waited for 4-5 trips to really write a review and I can say, the venison chili fries are exceptional. the sliders are very good and i like the changing flavors. there have been some misses. the catfish and the fried chicken have been good and bad at times. the poutine has always been good in all its varieties. the cocktails are always fun as, are the beer of the day. have one of their dessert sliders after dinner, the smores is great. marshmallow fluff, nutella and cinnamon. overall, i really enjoy green dots. i only avoid it because of the crowds and i like sitting at the bar. i should go more often. love, juston

    Went to the green dot tonight. Got the wedge salad, it was good. Got the cheeseburger slider, hot brown, buffalo chicken, cheesesteak, Cuban, bct, fries, corned beef, clam chowder. Hey! Don't judge me man! I was with 3 other people! It was great except bct. I have no idea what that was. Was that a joke? Bacon, cucumber and tomato sauce?? They got me. It was strange. This place is a 5. We waited on the patio 30 minutes or so, sipping drinks that only cost us 3$ and were delicious. Staff was friendly again. :) :)

  • Michelle B.

    Food is so-so. Cheap but not really coz the sliders are about $2-3 per piece but really small (of course, sliders are always small). Truffle/ herb fries is good except being way toooo salty. Not a whole lot of cocktail selection. Beers are ok. The waiter was good but was in a hurry. The reception guy was very, very, very rude and mean and unreasonable. There were 6 of us, but we were waiting for our friend who was 10 mins away. He let us sit but after a while told us that if our friend comes, she cannot sit with us and has to be in line. We did not argue further because it wasn't packed so if my friend was in line, I'm sure he'd give our 1 extra chair to her. When she came, no one was in the reception/ no line/ no other people so we called her as the waiter had taken her order from us. They reception guy, instead of letting it go since it wasn't too busy came to our table and started arguing with us telling us that our friend had to leave. He went to the waiter and wanted the waiter to be on his side but the waiter didn't care. He gave up but gave us a bad look the whole time.

    Went on a Friday night, but didn't have to wait very long despite being told it would be an hour wait. They had four beers on tap, none of which were really my cup of tea but they were solid nonetheless. The bartender was excellent (grabbed a couple of drinks and sat outside while we waited for a table), but the server was below average. The runner forgot one of our sliders, which we mentioned to the server but he never brought it; although a busser eventually brought it up to him. Not a big deal, but come on. The quality and price, however, earn this place four stars. Everything we had was delicious, interesting and super cheap. Had the mystery meat, Cuban and BCT sliders (cucumbers in place of the lettuce was refreshingly delicious). The truffle and herb fries were ridiculous. I mean seriously fantastic. Most everything was $2-$3, including the most of the mixed drinks, and they were solid mixed drinks. That's tough to beat.

    I was there last year so maybe things have changed since however I have not been back. I went for lunch the restaurant was busy and crowded i sat at the bar and the bartenders seem to have a very high opinion of himself so high in fact that he thought he thought he was too good to tend bar. So I left unserved and unsatisfied and as I said I have not been back since.

    Very busy for a Tuesday afternoon but my friend and I got a seat at the bar after only around 10 minutes. I got some local Detroit beer, Ghettoblaster. We each got 3 sliders. I chose the special of the day which was Rabbit wrapped in bacon, the Hot Brown and the Gyro. All were so good, but I think my fave was the Gyro. It only won by a small amount since they were all amazing. We also split the truffle fries and a small cucumber app. Each slider was $3, so were the the beers. Great food, great prices. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Detroit.

    Hardly do I ever give 5 stars. 4 is like the best. Most places are a three. That being said- I was tempted to give this place 5 stars. I thought the hype was too much, but i decided after seeing co-workers carry outs for a while that i , too, wanted to try the slider craze. Ok- for newbies like me: Go in the back or front, the hostess will see you. ( we were nervous about going in through the back and ended up walking around) Act like you've been there before, or tell them that you never have. You can sit at the bar and eat if you want. Everything is $2- $3 dolllars unless your getting shots. You can keep ordering through our your meal. Talk to everyone- everyone talks. Tip well. We went on last friday night, around 9-9:30. of course it was like a 45min wait. We waited because we wanted a true experience. On the suggestion of the bubbly hostess, we grabbed a cocktail and a pop from teh bar and went out to th epation to wait until they called our names. I felt immediately welcomed just becaue of how loud and boisteruous the hostess was when coming into the back to nannounced names for tables. We were sitted in the 45 minutes time frame- but it hadnt seemed that long over a strong Mint Julep ($3). We were seated next to a overly large crowd for the establishment ( 10 people) who was the loudest and most annoying crowd ever. All the tables were looking at them because of the sheer volume, they were so disruptive. A place with maybe 20 tables and they were the only table filling the entire restaurant with noice. I didnt asked to be moved- becasue there was no where else, and frankly it's not like you could have gotten away from the noise. Ugh. But -its a bar- i'm sure i've been loud before like that. Anyways, we had drinks, the server came promptly asking for an order, we needed a few minutes and he was happy to oblige. We ordered: 2 grilled Cheese ( one by accident- but it was too late already) 1 BBQ Bacon 1 Cheesburger 1 Cuban Mystery Meat ( Kobe Beef) Macaroni and Cheese Cajun fries Poutine Caramel Apple Cocktail Mint Julip Gin Awesome To Go: Corned Beef Slider Gyro Slider The Kobe was awesome. The Cuban was good. The other burgers were better than good. But the grilled cheese- i could have passed on entirely. The cheese was ok- but the layer of white cream im not sure what it was, but...... Im good. the mac and cheese tasted almopst Seafood like with the heavy alfredo sauce? But it was good. Not enough. Some have complained on Yelp about it being runny- not the case this time.The cajun fries were seasoned great, the poutine was yummy, but i would have liked more cheese curds. The highlight of my night was: The Caranel Apple Cocktail. I seriously am looking for the bottle of Caramel Whiskey they use becasue that drink was fantastic. We ordered two sliders to go becasue i still fetl like there was not a lot of variety. The next i heated them uop for breakfast, adn i was mad i didnt order them for dinner. The corned beef ws great, seasoned and cooked perfectly. Teh gyro had plenty of meat, the sauce was amazing, and taste was just great. Service was prompt, I had to snag the server once for another drink and once for a refill, but the place isnt that big, you can see where they are, and with it being so packed, you can see that they are actually working and thats why it's taking a minute to get to you. I am now in love with this place. So you will too. Just dont expect gourmet service and gourmet food.

    I am so amazed at how good everything was. Tiny little portions that are like samples of gourmet dinners. Even the peanut butter and jelly was spectacular. The bonus is the price. Everything is very low cost. So glad my daughter and son in law brought me out to dinner.

    Sliders galore and definitely a Detroit restaurant you shouldn't miss! The location is a bit odd and the exterior does look a bit dated, but it's all within the "stable" theme. Either way, their food is DELICIOUS! Cheap sliders with a variety of options! We had so many different sliders on my table ranging from the Korean, Cuban, Buffalo chicken, Philly Cheesecake, and many others. It's definitely a fun place to go with friends for drinks or to try a bunch of different kinds of food. I loved their fries as well, we had the chili cheese, truffle, and poutine. We were a little disappointed of the wait and the crowdedness of the restaurant, but after our meal my friend turned over to me and said it was probably the best meal he's had in a long time.

    They have mac and cheese and truffle fries... So the minute I tasted those, I was hooked. Sadly it's a bit of a drive for me. They need to open one near me!

    I've been a couple times with Jacob and I kind of love this place. Our first visit was great; we came at lunch time on a Saturday and had a super-attentive server. Our second visit was dinner time (even though they weren't super-busy) and had a pretty crappy server who never came to our table. It doesn't really matter who the server is, as long as they get their delicious, CHEAP sliders, addictive shoestring fries and heavy-handed adult beverages to my table. Yum. Don't bring your kids. Just don't. No one likes THAT PERSON WHO BRINGS A CHILD TO AN OBVIOUS BAR.

    We love Green Dot. These guys have created a awesome business based on the $3 menu. Always love trying the mystery meat slider.

    Great sliders. I have tried almost all of them and they are all good. The mystery meat is always fun to try. The cucumbers and hummus for a starter are excellent. And as for the drink menu it cannot be beat. $2 and $3 cocktails and beers is incredible. I like the zug island ice tea, superb cocktail. Hope you enjoy.

  • Bobby A.

    Food is great, sometimes excellent. The poutine is to die for, and the burgers - while simple and sometimes made with less care than you'd like - are generally quite enjoyable. The issue comes with the service and/or the wait. It's not uncommon at all to wait 30-45 minutes to get seated (and I've waited for over an hour for our order), and unfortunately, there are too many employees that treat customers like a number. Downright rude is rare, but it does happen. I get that a place as busy as that doesn't need another customer, but asking that a restaurant treat you with a smile and with patience when you have questions about the menu is *not* too much to ask. There are some very good servers there, but I hate to say that they're overshadowed by the ones that either don't care or really don't like working there. I hope for their sake that they fix this; I'd like to spend more time writing about the food.

    I think my expectations may have lead me to be a little let down on my first visit but they still deserve 4 stars regardless of my own over-anticipation. The menu is creative and fairly bold. The service was a little meh at first but I think it's more in line with a very chill staff demeanor overall. As I mentioned on another review, I had just finished my Astro coffee so I think I was a little twitchy yet when I walked into Green Dot. We started with some Ghettoblaster longnecks - the craft options are many and all solid choices. Next onto an order of the Malt fries and the first seven sliders (mini-burgers) on the menu....the Corned Beef, the Cuban, the Cheeseburger, the Lamb, BBQ Bacon, the BCT (bacon cucumber and tomato jam), and the Korean. The Cuban was really great (luscious and meaty with a healthy dose of melty Jack), followed by the Corned Beef (off the hook whole grain mustard aioli), the Cheeseburger (solid plain Jane option) and the Korean (with the peanut sauce and Kimchi) - these were my favorites in that order...thus far anyways. I plan on ordering the rest of their mini-burger options when I get back there. The Lamb was a little weak needing a heavier smear of hummus, the BBQ Bacon was tasty and the BCT not really my thing but I'm sure you'll dig it. The fries are the thin type shoestrings that are pretty addictive on their own. Add to that the flavor variations and you're good to go. I should've ordered all the fry choices but we only tried the Malt - they were good albeit a bit cold upon arrival. I have it on good authority that the Cherry Soup is delicious and as I mentioned the rest of the menu is pretty bold so you can go nuts here...easily as it were. Your wallet will be safe and you'll leave most likely in a food induced super coma but it will all have been worth it!

    Not a lot to add about how hip the place is, or how excellent the food is, or how amiable the service is (all true). But I can't get over what an abso-friggin-lutely good deal this place is. I mean, it's too good to be true. But it is true. Now, before you read too much farther, think about what a good deal would be for two adults for apps, dinner, dessert, and drinks. Specifically, we ordered - Dark Horse raspberry ale A glass of soda hummus and pita cherry soup 2 BBQ bacon sliders Grilled bologna slider Cuban slider Truffle fries S'more 2 mixed drinks And it cost us ...drum roll please.... $35.00 + tip. I know, right?

    My friend brought me here when I was visiting her and Detroit and I am so glad she did! We got soo many great sliders and they have an AMAZING beer selection! We got venison chili fries, the Gyro, the Mystery Meat (which was lamb), and my favorite the Korean just to name a few. The Scottish ale they had was my favorite beer of 3 I had that night too :) If you are ever visiting Detroit, I definitely suggest you check this place out!

    Wedge salad is fantastic, along with the le poutine fries. Such a great atmosphere, we had dinner here on a Saturday night and it was slammed. We needed to be patient but it was so worth it. Keep in mind portions are small so don't feel like a tubby when you order 5 things ha!

    I give out very few 5's for restaurants but this place deserves a 6. There food is very creative, unique, and most importantly delicious. Their staff is very helpful with food selections and drink selections. Drink selections? Yea their drinks are even unique and clever. Apple pie drink made with whiskey!? Yes please.

  • Mylo R.

    We ate here yesterday between 2-3pm and there was plenty of seats. I think this place is a rip off. Sure they're gourmet sliders but $3 for one and everything is small here. I would go back for the drinks if i drink. The mac & cheese was horrible, but the corn beef & Philly cheese stake sliders are delicious. The truffle fries were a little salty. We tried the mystery meat, kangaroo and yuck its not my thing. There is a $10 minimum to use A credit card but thats not a problem for me. The place was clean and food wasnt bad but its nothing to write home about.

  • Mike M.

    I was excited to try this place after all the great reviews it gets. I left somewhat disappointed. The chicken soup was the best thing we tried. We tried several sliders, the cheeseburger and the hot brown were the best. The sliders were good, not great. The poutine was ok. The mac and cheese was boring and flavorless. The wedge salad was less than likeable, my lettuce was brown, it came with thousand island that didn't complement the salad and was served in a little paper container that was impossible to cut a wedge salad in. I liked the prices of $2 or $3 for most things, but we ended up spending more than we would have somewhere else. If you're looking for trendy bar food, this is the place for you. If you're hoping for a culinary delight, this is not the place.

  • Andrea E.

    This place is fantastic! I highly recommend the buffalo chicken, hot brown, and corned beef sliders and truffle and herb fries. I do not recommend the blackbean slider - it was bland. Their drink selection is wonderful - lots of localish beer and interesting mixed drinks. The summer soda is awesome. It always turns out to be expensive though. The $3 menu is deceptive because you really do have to order a lot of stuff to be full. My only complaint is that you have to have your whole party present to be seated.

  • E C.

    It was my first time eating here a few weeks ago and I'm glad I got there before a ton of people showed up to eat there for lunch. I was able to get a seat at the bar since there were no other tables available. My friend and I tried quite a few of their sliders and each of them was delicious! I will definitely come here again to try the other sliders that are on the menu. The reason why I gave this restaurant four starts instead of five is because of the wait. I understand that due to the amount of people, the amount of time for your food to arrive can be a long one. In this case, our waiter took a while to refill our waters. Other than that, the food was amazing!

  • Michelle N.

    Ugh!! Food has gone downhill drastically, portions are way smaller, and service is terrible. I used to eat here at least once a week (more like 2-3x if I could get away with it, each time with diff groups bc my friends/bf were tired of green dot, but I loved it!!), but I noticed the food quality was getting bad and was pretty inconsistent. I stopped coming when my friends and I came to a nearly-empty restaurant and received stale, old fries and gross sliders. Months later, I returned for some late-night drunchies and left disappointed. That should be a red flag, bc even Taco Bell food is amazing when you're drunk and hungry. Most recently (tonight), I came and noticed the sliders have SHRANK (don't be fooled - I think they use smaller food containers now!), the food isn't good/served in a sloppy manner, and our waiter had no idea wtf the mystery meat was. I honestly think he was high during his shift. Not impressed anymore, will not be back.

    This is a great hidden gem in Detroit. All the sliders we tried were phenomenal. The herb and truffle french fries were also delicious. They also have a nice beer selection with local brews on draft. Definitely a place to keep in mind when visiting Detroit.

  • Rebecca L.

    Both times I've gone it was pretty busy because they were both Tigers game days. (I myself was there to eat before the game). I grabbed a $2 or $3 beer from the bar and headed to the back patio area where the hostess told us we could wait. There were only two of us so the wait wasn't long. There's a lot of sliders to choose from - I particularly liked the cuban and bbq bacon. They're only $3 or $4, but they can add up quick. Overall, food is tasty, the drink prices are great, and the atmosphere is divey.

  • Will W.

    Just went here recently for the first time. I have lived in Metro Detroit my whole life, and regret not going here sooner. Place was packed, beer was cheap (with good selection too), and the array of different burgers and sides (along with taste) justified every bit of what everyone raves about.

  • Destiny L.

    One of my FAVORITE places to stop down town. Every time i come here it's a unique experience. The prices are so great, i always end up having a few too many $3 jack and cokes, but can you blame me? It's easy to sober up with a few out of the ordinary sliders, you never know what you'll fall in love with next. Mystery meat! just do it, Duck bacon was on the menu last time i was there..... mmmmm....... And last but not least, no matter how crazy this place gets the service is always friendly and attentive. The wait is ALWAYS worth it!

    I headed over the border in search of this place which has popped up on many radar screens. It took less than 5 minutes from the tunnel. I felt like a gunslinger as I threw open the saloon-like swinging doors to enter. Instead of angry cowboys, I was faced with a diverse group of old and young in a buzzing environment. I kind of felt like an extra in a movie scene. One of the first things I noticed is how clean the place was...my mom would of told me it was so clean I could eat off the floor. We got a seat right away and a friendly waiter (with one of the best beards I've seen in a long while) appeared immediately. We ordered a a $3 Shorts seasonal draught (berry ale) and Summer Soda (which the waiter described as a garden in your mouth....he was right). The latter was reminiscent of $12 cocktails I've had elsewhere. I also had the mystery beer which was a Pyramid Apricot Ale from the West coast. Fantastic. The menu is best described as American dim sum. You order a bunch of stuff and hope it's not too much. I placed the order and it came out less than 10 minutes later. Starters/Sides- Cucumbers with creme fraiche and Kale salad were fantastic. Mac and cheese was ok. Truffle fries were hot, crispy and well balanced. Not too much truffle! Sliders- Despite people around me ordering 3 and 4 sliders each, we only got three.. au poivre, catfish and mystery meat (wild boar and onions). The boar was top notch and the au poivre was intensively seasoned with cracked peppercorn. Catfish was decent. Dessert- Cheesecake was well done and was complemented perfected with a sour raspberry sauce. Smores were nutella and fluff on a bun. Exactly what I expected. The "Red Pop" sorbet was a nice finish and was more complex than I would of thought. Total bill: $39. Wow! In the end, the words that best describe GDS are extreme and contrast. The waitstaff, which you would expect to be pretentious, were helpful and friendly. The intense sourness of the cucumber coupled with creme fraiche, the aggressively seasoned au poivre slider, the clean saloon look and even the modern sink tap beside the powder blue hand dryer in washroom speaks to this philosophy. I'm coming back to eat a lot of sliders, drink a lot of beer and hopefully catch the band who was just setting up as I was leaving. I mean, if can get a slider and two beer and spend less than crossing the border twice, I'm there!

  • Andrea C.

    Yum! What a deal too. 6 sliders, chicken paprikash (sp?) soup, Mac n cheese, chili cheese fries, and 2 drinks. This cost us $36! What was great is that although we had to wait a bit, we were able to wait jn a very comfy patio area. Drinks were super reasonable, the food was great, especially the Philly cheesesteak and the Cuban sliders, and the service was prompt and very friendly. We will be back!

    This place is amazing. So amazing in-fact that you should have a backup plan when you go because there are often 1-2 hour waits. Worth it though. The tempeh burger is heaven. The desserts are wonderful. The service is fast and the drinks are great. Everything is an amazing price (so amazing that you buy tons and it costs the same in the end but delicious!)

  • Candice G.

    WELCOME TO THE GREATEST GODDAMNED BAR I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. Hands down. Detroit, you are some lucky motherf*ckers. First off, let me address what I know you're thinking: The caps lock. Now, I don't always use caps lock, but when I do, I always mean business. Second, I want to be frank with you, Detroit. I'm broke. Practically poor, riddled with foolish debt- I've basically lived (almost) 30 years with nothing to show for it but a buncha rags and a whole lotta cats. There ain't much that I've got budget for, so I was one-part elated and 2-parts thinking I'd just seen a mirage when I saw that everything, hold on --- let me do this right, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G (ahhh, much better) on the menu was $2 or $3. We arrived probably a little after 11pm. The lot was jam packed, cars parked on the street, and a bus was double parked in front of the GDS. Inside- not so busy. I think everyone must've driven 2 cars there. We grabbed a booth near the corner and sat our biz down... we were promptly brought mini menus by our new server friend and she wasted no time wiping down the mystery wet spot that was pooling on the table by where I was sitting (I swear, it wasn't me!). The late night food menu is just paired down version of their regular menu, which is home to many tasty tiny bites, such as, but not limited to: // The best friggen Kale Salad ever. What is that lemon dressing? And quinoa! Hit me with 2 more orders of that biz-nast! $3ea // Black Bean Sliders that were, erm, kinda dry but whatevs. It's a veggie burger and it's hard to keep that ish fresh. Still good for that poverty price tag of $3ea. // Truffle Fries. Sweet tits! You're gonna wanna order these in bulk. $3ea // Cajun Fries. Not spicy, but spiced. You'll like 'em... I gayr-ohn-tee. (and that was TMNT Leatherhead reference, in case that didn't come across. See also: 00:28, 1:20, 1:59 and 3:17 youtube.com/watch?v=7crG… ) $2ea // Malt Vinegar Fries. Hi, My name is Candice and I'm a vinegar addict. Yeah, I'm gonna need these blended and hooked up to a vein. $2ea The only thing better than the food menu at GDS is the drink menu. All beers, whether craft or crappy, are $2 or $3. All wines, cava, etc, same deal- $2 or $3. And my pick for poison that night? 1 of each of their 7 cocktails. What?! Don't hate the player, hate the game. That sh*t was goooood... My Cock...tails: // Green Dot Wallbanger // Peach Vodka & Orange Juice // I could've drank a toilet bowl filled with this stuff. Maybe one of my most favorite drinks ever... defo my most favorite for $3. Okay, it's similar to a bahama mama wine cooler but I don't care... I'm on vacation, b*tch! // Mint Julep // Mint & Sugar & Bourbon & Water // My least favorite, but probably your most favorite. This was one of 2 drinks where I could taste the alkie and me no likey bourbon, apparently. Still not bad though, and defo the most enjoyable bourbon drink I've ever had. $3ea // Moscow Mule // Ginger Beer & Lime & Vodka // "Spicier than a muthaf*cka" - Kat W(illiams) This'll for sure strip your sore throat. $3ea // Gin Promise // Gin & Cran & Lime & Strawberry // I'll just say it, the strawberry looked like a weird abortion particle. I think it was once a frozen strawberry and then defrosted, deflated and thrown in my drink... which was delicious. I scarfed it down faster than placenta soup. What?! You guys don't have P-soup here in Detroit? $3ea // Summer Soda // Lemon & Basil & Cucumber & Vodka & Soda // I have never felt so refreshed in my life, let alone felt so refreshed after drinking 4 cocktails. It was like an out of body experience. I can only relate it to how Falcor must have felt flying through the Never Ending Story. $3ea // Coffee Drink // Amaretto & Horchata Whipped Cream & Coffee // C'mon. Did you read the ingredients? I said HORCHATA WHIPPED CREAM! Don't just sit there... get up and give this generically-named wonder drink a round of applause! $3ea // Mystery Cocktail // Mystery Ingredients... I'm going to guess Coconut Malibu & Cranberry // On second thought, maybe this was my least favorite. It tasted like being 22 again, only now I weigh more and death is on my heels. $3ea The music was great... and then they brought a DJ in. WompWomp. I mean, the DJ(s) music was fine, I actually enjoyed it, but I have neverevereverever been in a bar that had music that.f*cking.loud. Musta been set to 11. Oh yeah, and it was kind of silly to see some 'DJ' with one MacBook and 4 people operating it. I think someone needs to link them to a Genius at the Apple Store because it ain't supposed to be that hard. I'm sorry, that was mean. I'm just bitter because they blew my ear drum out... the other side of my head. Then again, they did give me the all too rare opportunity to get down to The Humpty Dance in a public setting. I'll leave you with one final note, which was also my final of 3 Yelp check-in tips I left that night: Green Dot Stables: It's where all the cracker kids go.

  • LJ R.

    GDS was one of the recommendation made by a few awesome Detroit Yelpers as place I should try. I'm glad that they were right as I really liked it. Driving to GDS was exciting being not from here I thought I was crossing into Canada. I didn't have my passport on me but being so close I wanted to cross. Anyways we arrived 10 mins before GDS opened so spent the time looking at pics and doing some research. Once inside and seeing all the horse and stable decor only then I'd put it all together. I didn't even notice the Stables word in the establishments name only Green Dot. I kind of liked it, it was cool to me. What makes GDS a favorite of mine and a bunch of others is that not only are the food cheap but delicious. Each month they have a mystery meat slider when I was there the mystery meat slider was turkey topped with greens and turnip chips. After talking to the server I found out that the pork belly slider was a mystery meat slider special so they don't have it all the time and they use to have the curry chicken slider on the regular menu but they got rid of them but might bring it back as a mystery meat slider. The main reason I wanted to try GDS was for their pork belly sliders yelp.com/biz_photos/NcM6… it looked soooo good. Each item is no more that $3 so you can sample a lot of everything. We ordered a few and enjoyed them. We had the truffle and herb fries, venison chili cheese fries, BCT slider bacon cucumber tomato sauce aioli, Korean slider beef patty peanut butter kimchi, and another slider which I forgot what it was but they were all so delicious. yelp.com/biz_photos/NcM6… When I'm back in Detroit I will definitely stop by GDS. Hopefully pork belly sliders will be on the menu but if not that's still fine. I also recommend GDS YUMMM

    Had lunch here w several adults and children. The wait can be long on busy days. and the decor is casual bar type. The sliders are interesting combos- I had the black bean and tempeh burgers, and the truffle fries that were great. the mystery meat changes monthly. the kimchee burger and the fired chicken burger were the favs of the table. for kids, there are traditional burgers, small hot dogs, small grilled cheese and fries. The food is pretty kid friendly, but they have no high chairs and only one booster for the whole joint, and Im pretty sure they were annoyed i brought my stroller but I tucked it into where we were sitting out of way. Plan on bringing yours if you have a baby! Overall the food took a while to get, about 30-40 min. it was worth it though! The parking lot is fairly large and seems safe.

    I really, really wanted to like this place. So, I went twice before deciding the extremely shitty service far outweighed the good food. We took my parents here at 3:30 p.m. today. We waited more than an hour at our table for food -- about 1:20 to be exact. We didn't even get menus at our table for the first 15 minutes. At first I felt bad for the server, but he wasn't apologetic in the least. I was so embarrassed to have chosen this craphole.

    I have visited Green Dot Stables at least around 10 times at this point and it has never disappointed! It has become one of my favorite places to grab a bite in the city. The cozy atmosphere and consistently good service makes the overall experience very personable. Now the food...oh the food. Delicious and unique sliders that will make your mouth happy. Some personal favorites include the Catfish, Gyro and Corned Beef - but all I have tried have been tasty. The sides compliment the sliders well. Simple but nicely flavored poutine is a great addition to the meal. The soups seem to rotate to keep things fresh and interesting, I imagine. I will say though, that the mushroom broth they were serving up for a while was TO DIE FOR. It had the most amazing aroma and flavor! I will keep my eyes peeled for when it is rotated back through their menu. They have a decent selection of craft beers which they pair with the sliders on the menu. They also offer up some "fancy" cocktails without the fancy price. Overall, I highly recommend this joint! Just a word of advice, if you plan on paying them a visit on a Saturday evening, be prepared for what may be a long wait. I tried stopping by about a month ago and the wait was 2 hours! I was just there this past Sunday at around 4:00pm and while nearly every table was occupied, we got lucky and were seated in the last remaining booth right away. The long wait only helps validate the claims of greatness :) Thanks for existing, Green Dot!

    Starting to be one of my favorite places. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, great staff. Have tried pretty much everything here and my favorites are the cucumber salad and plain old cheeseburger.

  • Matt L.

    Stop by if you're in the area but know that the sliders are just average. I've been to most of the legitimate Detroit/metro-Detroit slider joints (e.g. Blimpy in AA, Hunter House, Motz's, Bates, Little Brothers, etc.). and these sliders don't rank in the top 50%. The patties are fine but the 'dry bun-to-patty' proportion is not on point (this was true not for one visit, but for three). The fries deserve praise, though, so be sure to try those. Food aside, the place has a great energy to it most of the time. That alone makes it worth an hour of your time.

  • Alexis S.

    The first time I came here I loved it. The last two times have not held the same appeal. I think they need to step their game up a bit and add more variety to their slider and drink menu. UGH the first time I tried their mac 'n cheese, it was perfect-the second time it was so watery:( Public House in Ferndale offers a similar type of menu, but at this point, they are outdoing Green Dot by far.

  • Jaclyn S.

    This place is great...if you can get in. It's an obscure location, but that means there's parking, so that's a bonus. The building and decor is different, in a good way, and the staff is all very friendly. As for the food, all of their sliders are delicious and their poutine and truffle fries are both great. In addition to food, they also have a pretty good cocktail list. My only problem is a good problem for them to have--they are always packed, as of recent. I just can't justify waiting a half hour to eat sliders in my neighborhood "dive".

  • Deborah R.

    Every time I come here I fall more in love with it. The first time it was the decor and the drink menu. Then it was the sliders. I want to pick one for you to showcase, but I can't. They really are all the best slider I've ever had. Each and every one of them. Then this last time it was their outdoor tables. And the picnic tables are adorable and it's so great to sit outside and eat and drink,but I have to show my colors here. The big draw for me last time was when I figured out that they allow dogs in their outdoor area. I'm a total dog person and anywhere I can bring them is instantly my new favorite place. As if there wasn't already enough for me to love about them, they just made it impossible for me to love them any more. I got it bad for Green Dot. Carve our names in a tree bad.

    Coming with two kids and my wife, we must have timed our visit perfectly because we waited about 30 seconds to get a table. From previous Yelpers, this place gets jammed during the usual lunch times (12-2) and in the evenings particularly on game nights. So choose your times wisely. As for this being a hipster hangout, to that I say, "who gives a rip?" Customers are customers and hipsters' money spends like everyone elses does. Don't want hipsters, then go to the White Castle on Michigan Ave. instead. Good to Corktown thriving post Tiger Stadium. First let's talk food. Yes, they're sliders and sliders implies small sandwiches so they were everything I expected and offered no surprises. However, I like the concept and variety of sliders offered and noting over $3.00. Same thing with fries; four offerings and nothing over $3.00. Try a list of microbrews or mixed cocktails for no more than $3.00. You get to be adventurous for about $12-18 a person. If you want bang for the buck, then backtrack to Le Chateau Blanc. I felt ingredients were of higher quality and worth the money. Admittedly, I am a large appetite and I would eat 5 sliders and at least two sides so I know I'm $20+ when I go here as I scouted the menu online. However, this is the only place outside of Kentucky that I have seen a Hot Brown and mint juleps on a menu. Coupled with the fact that it kept the original horse racing theme and casual environment and I was most pleased with my visit. I tried the corned beef (Sy Ginsberg corned beef) slider, the Coney (with venison chili) slider, the Dearborn ham and cheese slider, the Hot Brown slider, the cheeseburger slider and the mystery meat slider which on that day was a braised and shredded beef tongue which was quite good. I enjoyed the fries with truffle oil as well as the kale salad which I highly recommend. Also enjoyed three cocktails (julep, Moscow Mule, and a Horse Neck) that I would typically never order and encourage more guests to try as well. Wife and kids stuck to the basics: cheeseburger sliders and fries. Again, having priced the place first, we spent $50.00 with tip as expected. Service was service: not bad, not great. Our server was good at making recommendations and both food and drink came out at a moderate pace due to the fact that the kitchen is super small. So expect longer wait times when the place is packed as the cooks cannot perform miracles. No problem with the pace and we kept reordering as other people's sliders passed us drawing inspiration. A good experience and we will return.

    The sliders were good but you'll need to eat a lot for it to hit the spot. The service was super slow and the food though delicious was minimalist.

    If you don't love Green Dot Stables, you're not hooked up right. Food: Everything is $2 or $3; sliders, fries, soups, and desserts with flavor wildly out of proportion to the price. The peppercorn-crusted Au Poivre is perfecto. Drinks: Everything is $2 or $3, including draughts from Michigan's world-renowned breweries. A $3 pull isn't quite a full pint, but who cares at this price? And the mixed drinks knock it out in the summer: Cool, refreshing house specialties, focusing on sodas, mixed in a Collins glass and served right. Add to all of that: Green Dot is off the beaten path in lovely, forgotten Corktown. Walk in, swing wide those saloon doors, and take in its pleasant, big-room ambiance. Detroit is a great city.

    So good! I love the atmosphere and we always recieve good service. The lil' burgers are soooo yummy and the truffle and herb fries have been dubbed "crack fries". Great beer selection too!

    Wow, believe the hype. Great, easy parking. Kind of off the beaten track, but real close to the D. Booths, tables, seats at and off the bar. Friendly service. Casual atmosphere. But the food is the star. I had a chicken paprika soup, and my friend had clam chowder. Both excellent. I had the corned beef slider and the ham and swiss slider. Both off the hook. Everything $3 max. Some things $2. Hard to believe a place like this even exists, but believe it! I'm looking forward to my next visit, and already planning what I might have. This place is dangerously good...

    Delicious gourmet sliders and cheap craft beer delivered in a very cool facility. The menu is centered around $2-$3 creative sliders and shoestring fries with assorted dipping sauces. I had a tasty North Peak IPA ($3), and my slider of choice was a Hot Brown ($3) Chicken-Mornay-Bacon), which was really interesting and complimented the beer well. The list of sliders and fries was impressive, including the mystery meat slider which was duck. Service was excellent and friendly, and the others seated at the bar were very fun conversationalists. I felt at ease and wanted to stay longer, but had to return home to let the dog out :( Bottom line: A gem of a place that I pray does not fall victim to the becoming common "Slows Effect" where the staff thinks they are located in an emerging Brooklyn or Chicago, and must therefore deliver sloppy and indifferent service because they are high priests of hip, The staff is convinced that their hipster counterparts actually working in Brooklyn or Chicago must treat their customers like crap also. (They really don't).

    Had the BBQ Bacon slider, it was great. The sweet potatoes and the bbq sauce went perfectly together and gave it an interesting but yummy rate. The truffle fries were perfect. Threw was just enough seasoning and they werent over our under cooked. Will Definitely be returning here in the future!

  • Chen-Chen J.

    Been here a couple times with various sized groups, and due to the popularity of the restaurant, I definitely recommend going during off hours or being prepared to wait a lot. After the wait is over, I promise it's worth it. Each slider is completely unique but perfectly coordinated in flavor. I've tried to have as many different ones as possible, but my favorite is probably Fried Chicken and Korean. Oftentimes, the Mystery Meat is actually quite good. The Fried Chicken is chicken and waffles in a slider. Each bite is a great blend of salty crispy chicken drenched in their sweet syrup. The Korean is also quite delicious, with the Kim Chi cutting through the beef. But let's not forget about the sides. Absolutely love the fries (try the Truffle Fries and Poutine), and as a soup lover, I am also a big fan of the Chicken Lemon Rice. Creamy and tangy and a great balance of flavor. Last but not least, this is probably where you'll find the cheapest great quality drinks. $3 for all those cocktails? Delicious. And amazing. So even though everything is $3, the bill does quickly add up. But it's worth it. Go. Now.

    Green Dot Stables for the Vegetarian/Pescatarian- A How-To Guide: 1. Whet your palate with the MUSHROOM SOUP. Sit back and puzzle over how they packed all that intense flavor and texture into an unassuming broth. 2. Order ONE of EACH of the shoestring FRIES varieties (minus the Venison one). JUST DO IT. Have a blind taste test. Order another round of the Truffle & Herb, which will inevitably be your favorite. 3. Get the BLACK BEAN Slider (another unassuming item that tastes SO MUCH BETTER than it looks), and the CATFISH Slider. For the adventurous, tell them to leave off the tartar sauce on the catfish, and ask for a side of peanut butter instead. (The combination of peanut butter and crispy savory is out of this world. It would be even better with the kimchi in there, too, but they will not do substitutions. Encourage your carnivorous dining mates to try the regular Korean slider.) 4. Dig in to the MAC&CHEESE. Fight the urge to call it "creamy and complex" (lest you sound like a turd), while marveling at how creamy and complex it is. 5. Bypass the Kale salad. Good in its own right, but if you've ever had the Kale Quinoa salad from the Detroit Zen Center, you are forever ruined and are bound to be disappointed by this and all other kale quinoa salads. 6. Consider getting another order of fries and a cocktail, in lieu of dessert. The raspberry chocolate cheesecake is tasty, albeit a little hard, but MY GOD, THOSE FRIES.

    Good God, I love this place! From the 70s throwback charm of the barchairs and decor, to the small-plates-done-casually approach, this place boasts fantastic food and a laid-back, unpretentious vibe. You honestly cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, but I find myself returning to the kimchee sliders, which are delicious, and the poutine, mac and cheese, and especially the kale and quinoa salad, which is perfectly dressed. Just a great, casual night out, and a fun place to bring out-of-town guests. So popular is the Green Dot that you should expect to wait a bit for a table, especially during prime time. Not a problem! Grab a drink at the bar and head to the porch in good weather, grabbing a seat at one of many picnic tables. The wait staff will come fetch you when your table's up. Oh, and did I mention that each item on the menu goes for around $3 bucks? Order at least 3-4 items per person for a full meal, or just gnosh.

  • Misty J.

    The food here is delicious. But I always forget that this is not a great place for groups. They have a lot of rules. Rule one, you can't be seated until your entire party arrives. So you go to the tiny bar and have a delicious cocktail with the people that have arrived. Then you have to cash out, but only on one bill! Rule two, Bills cannot be spilt. So you finally get seated at a tiny table for four that they will crowd a party of six at. We are good friends so it's ok. Then you eat super tasty sliders and I cannot recommend the soups highly enough. I have tried three different ones and they are all amazing. But hopefully you love all food and don't want to alter your slider,(rule 3, this one makes the most sense) no substitutions! Rule two again, But then the bill comes, only one bill. And who carries cash? So you have to give the poor wait staff six credit cards with notes on how much to charge each one and then it's almost never correct because somebody missed something or we forgot tax. Anyway, delicious food but not group friendly. Definitely go with one or two people though.

    Everything from the mac n' cheese to the PB & J and the Smores sliders (for dessert) were well received. Looking for a great place to stop in for drinks or take an out-of-towner to for a bite? Look no further.

    There's not a lot for me to say that hasn't already been said. This place is a true gem. We came just early enough to beat the lunch rush, which starts at 12:30 (the place was PACKED as we were walking out). As others have said, the food is outstanding. Each slider is about 1/3 of a standard 8 oz burger, but they're innovative and phenomenally delicious. Make sure to ask what the mystery meat is -- for us it was a peppered boar steak that was to die for. They also have poutine -- POUTINE!!! -- with huge chunks of cheese curds. Oh my god. So good. And even with the side and some beers, our meal was under $25 for 2 people. We are moving to Detroit soon, and we will definitely be regulars here.

    This place is really interesting. I love the concept, but I think it's a victim of a bit of overhype. The drink selection is great, prices for everything are awesome, and it's a cool, very casual place. The food was a bit underwhelming, but I really just think my expectations were a bit too high for a dive bar with an eclectic menu. The black bean slider was awesome, the grilled cheese was decent, and the quinoa burger was devoid of seasoning, cold, and just overall pretty rough. The fries were solid, and my carnivorous friend enjoyed his meal quite a bit. This place is A-OK, and I'll definitely be back. If nothing else, the drinks are awesome and you can get some pretty great snacks to go with them, all at a more-than-reasonable price.

    If you're somebody who loves Sliders, (Who doesn't f***in love sliders!?) then you'll love this place. Green Dot Stables does the "slider" justice. It offers up an interesting variety of different sliders and not much else really. They have some sides that you can order up with your sliders (the Venison Chili Cheese fries were interesting!), but the whole point of coming here is to fill yourself on some cheap and good sliders. The place is really unassuming and it doesn't even look open from the outside. The exterior, let's face it, looks like utter crap. The interior, on the other hand, was surprisingly nice and it was kind of cozy (fake fireplace and all). The service was great and all the clientele wore a smile which has to be a good sign. Lets get the Venison Chili Cheese Fries out of the way. Didn't try them (ordered up some regular fries), but my friend did and it looked pretty good. He said he enjoyed them so I trust the guy. Their fries are the skinny ones that are real crisp and hot. Now...the Sliders. We ordered the "Mystery Meat" of the week, which was Beef Tongue. We also ordered up a lamb slider, shredded pork slider, BBQ Bacon Slider, and the Chicken Mornay Bacon slider. The Beef Tongue slider was very good. It was covered in chimichurri and sliced radishes. I wasn't a fan of the chimichurri or sliced radish, but the meat was very tender and very good. I love tongue because of the rich beefy flavor, but it can be a bit mushy and soft, but not here. The thin layer of tongue was cooked very crisply and tasted great. The Shredded Pork slider came with a sweet BBQ sauce and cucumber sticks. I loved this one. For $2, you got some great pulled pork as the meat was very tender and wet. I hate dry pulled pork and Green Dot did a great job of avoiding that. The lamb slider was good (though I'm not really a fan of lamb). The meat was a bit overcooked for lamb and could have used a bit more seasoning. But it came topped with rosemary hummus which added a creamy layer between the bun and the meat. Very interesting combination that I thought worked out. The BBQ Bacon Slider was incredible. Thick slices of bacon on a nicely cooked burger slider patty made it seem like one of the better ones. Big slices of bacon always work and the sauce didn't overpower any of the meaty taste. The Chicken Mornay Bacon slider was probably my favorite one. The chicken was grilled perfectly and was plump and juicy. The bacon was thick cut and the mornay sauce was rich and creamy. Perfect slider. The place is a must come for grub. Be careful you don't drive by it like I did. If it wasn't for all the cars in the parking lot, I would have never found the place. They have so many interesting sliders too (Korean KimChi slider, mystery meat every week, PB&J, etc) Definitely will be coming back for more.

    I absolutely love Green Dot. It is, hands down, my favorite place to eat in all of Detroit. It can be annoying to go there with a big group, but that makes sense, since it's not a huge place. The sliders are stupid delicious, and I'm in love with the venison chili cheese fries and the kale salad. Would definitely recommend the korean burger-- I had no idea that a burger with peanut butter and kimchi could taste so GOOD. Goddammit, now I want to go. Why is it midnight? Why aren't they open now!? Additionally, while you probably will spend a decent amount of money there because you won't be able to stop eating, everything (including the mixed drinks!) is really cheap.

  • Sara L.

    So I *might've* gotten a little drunk here. It's just that when I walked in and saw that their drinks were $3 each, I went a little nuts, because where I'm from, you'll pay at least $12 for a moscow mule that good. So, that bodes well for the place already. And the sliders? Some are total hits. Even the near-misses aren't bad at $2 and $3 apiece. Wife liked the Korean one with the peanut butter, cousin liked the fish one especially and I enjoyed the regular slider, the fried bologna, and the poutine fries. Delish! Kinda makes me want to move to the D...!

    The food is cheap and delicious!! When you go here be prepared for a long wait, they're very popular and don't take reservations or call-ahead. There's a nice waiting area that's perfect for hanging out with whoever you're there with, so don't let the long wait deter you. Truffle fries are a must, and don't forget to try the mystery meat! It's always worth it.

  • D R.

    What a great concept. Tasty, unpretentious, gourmet sliders at a decent price with great side dishes as well. Been here a couple of times when it was busy and had a great time even though I get impatient waiting for a table. Went in last night on a Monday with a date that had never been and could tell she wasn't sure about the area. Besides a couple of homeless people, the area was a ghost town. I'm sure she expected a smokey bar full of old men or crackheads. Place was 3/4 full of families and non-crackhead types. She felt very safe, I'm sure. A fire was going in the fireplace and some comforting jazz/ lounge music was playing. We ordered a decent assortment from the usual hipster waitstaff and we both both had a nice, relaxing time. Menu has maybe 30 items @ $3ea- just waiting for an excuse to go down and order one of everything.

    The only thing missing from this place was a window to place your bets! After a GPS required search, we finally found Green Dot Stables hidden off the beaten path in Cork town. For $18, we had dinner and drinks! Our perfect date night included tasty Moscow mules (vodka, ginger beer, lime juice), a couple of sliders and a side of mac n cheese. My favorite was the Korean (beef patty with peanut butter and kimchi). Amazing! The atmosphere was fun and service was good. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

  • Rosamaria Z.

    I love this place! My favorite slider has to be the tempeh. Mike is my favorite bartender but overall the service is fantastic. The best part is that they have Campari, which not a lot of restaurant/bars have. I recommended coming in after 2 and before 5. It gets busy during the lunch and dinner rush (as expected), but the service and food is still fantastic.

  • Elsbeth S.

    This is truly a place you crave. The menu has so much to choose from that it is sometimes hard to narrow it down. Their sliders range from cheeseburger to catfish. They have sides that fill every tastebud. My favorite are the truffle fries but a friend loves the kale salad. Each week there is a mystery meet and a special slider that are always something different. This past week they had a sloppy joe camel made with real camel meat! You definitely have to try everything on the menu!

    This place makes me so happy I can't even find the words. But I'll try. First of all, Green Dot Stables looks super shady from the outside. I would have never known it was there without Yelp's help. But once you get inside, the calm atmosphere and the friendly staff make you feel right at home. From what my waiter told me, the previous owner either had a horse named Green Dot or stables named Green Dot, which is where this place gets its name and decor. A few televisions play horse racing, but the volume is low, so it is not cacophonous. There is a fantastic beer list, all artisanal from what I can understand. I had a Palm, which was like an Amber, only a bit milder. Price wise, I don't remember seeing anything on this menu over 3 or 4 dollars. Their focus is sliders, and the flavor combinations are as diverse as the neighborhood. Chicken curry? Pork belly with hoisin sauce and scallions? Coney dog? Yes, yes, and yes. For three people we picked 7 different flavors, although we doubled up on the standard cheeseburger slider. Without a doubt, the most fun I've had at dinner in Detroit in awhile. We ordered the cucumbers with creme fraiche, the mac and cheese, and the shoestring fries for sides. The cucumbers were fresh and lightly salted, the mac and cheese was the right amount of cheesy and piping hot, and the fries were crisp and flavorful. Desserts are also off the chain. We ordered a chocolate cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Then we ordered another one. Someone told me that this place has only been open a few months, but you would never know by this well-oiled machine. Apparently their chef is Cordon Bleu trained, as well. Bottom Line: If you want great food in a relaxed atmosphere with good people and unique flavors, hit up Green Dot Stables.

    Everything on the menu is $3, including some really nice beers! Warm atmosphere, more like a family restaurant than a bar. They feature a wide variety of sliders made from local ingredients. They're not all winners and the buns aren't great, but for value and variety it's hard to beat.

    After hearing my friends rave about this place for the last year I was finally in town and we gave it a try. WOW! It was everything they said.. We tried 12 or so of the sliders... Cucumber side and a few of the cocktails for 3 bucks!!!! Melanie was our server and was absolutely wonderful! Can't wait til I'm in town again to go back!!! We went on a Monday during a storm @4p and by the time we left at 530, it was full! But it's worth the wait if I have to next time!!! I even bought a shirt, I liked it so much!

  • Donna S.

    What a gem! It's fun! Great energy and good food. It is a bar so don't go there looking for fine dining - but there is something really fun about $2 - $3 options you can mix and match. Their specialty drinks are pretty good and still $3! I went on a random Wednesday and the place was really active. Great for drinks and snacks with friends or happy hour I am sure. Give it a whirl!

  • Rachel B.

    If you want to wait 2 hours for a cramped table, mediocre sliders, pretentious servers and guests, this is the place for you. I had the kale salad, which was very fresh. I also had three sliders. They were forgettable, simple as that. For $3.00 a piece, you may think it's a good deal, but you will not leave this place full without spending more than you would at a place with better burgers.

    This place quickly became my favorite hang spot in Detroit. I'm serious. What an incredibly cool and unique place that meets and exceeds 100% of the hype people give it. First off, it's in what seems like a good spot. Nothing is around, so there's little foot traffic which means no panhandlers (wow, a place in Detroit where I can hang outside!). There is a decent sized parking lot, too. The service is great, nothing takes too long, and the food is absolutely incredible for the price. Weekly mystery meat and mystery beers keep it interesting, so the menu is always changing. I highly recommend the following meal- Cuban Slider Cheeseburger Slider Cajun Fries Beer of your choice (I went with North Peak's Vicious) Speaking of the menu, nothing on it, including alcohol, is more than three dollars. You can get a few sliders, some fries, and a beer for about ten dollars. So worth it! They even have a great craft beer selection and the bloody mary's are quite good! The staff is friendly, the overall feel and theme of Green Dot is one of a kind, and they win you over with horse racing on their TVs. What's not to love? Oh, and make sure you sit at the bar at least once, because THOSE are proper bar seats!

    The food was great, super cheap. Try as many salads as you can - the kale one was my favorite. The place itself was awesome. Gave a nice atmosphere and was so clean that it was the first thing you could possibly notice.

  • Nate D.

    Yeah the menu has nothing more expensive than $2-$3, but that's because everything on it it miniscule and you have to buy more than one item, so don't kid yourself. That said, the food is good, I appreciate the variety. The beer selection is good. The atmosphere was a little too hipster for me (i.e., too many disgusting "epic beards" walking around), but at least there seemed to be a few regular people in there too, and the one time I was there the service wasn't terrible like you see in most hipster establishments. Must say I was a little worried about that when I came in the door and saw that it was not the "old man crowd" as one might infer from its outward appearance, but rather the "young ironic crowd." I like the fact that it's in the middle of nowhere as opposed to some uber-trendy location in Midtown or inner Corktown.

  • Lola D.

    Went here again... Again great experience. My friend and I switched from sitting at a table to a booth (don't make this a habit people) in the middle of our dinner. The server, Scott, was not only not mad about it, but continued to take good care of us. The bartender did not give us any nasty looks. Now, that is service, for real. The sliders were good as always, catfish is awesome. Beer and wine are cheap, but not cheap kind. Great music of different genres, on different days. This is becoming a very regular place for me and I have to drive some distance.

    Enjoyed a meal here with my wife last night. Everything was excellent. First off, this place had the most attentive staff I have encountered in the last year or so. They don't smother, they just do their job perfectly. Not too mention your food comes out in 10 minutes. I know they are sliders and such but this place could choose to let you wait a bit. All the sliders we had were great. I'm not sure but hopefully they do or will rotate out the sliders every once in awhile just because I want to see what they will come up with next! Beer list was just the right size. A good mix with great selections! Atmosphere is very chill. Price are the extremely fair and in fact I felt a little bad paying what I paid for the dinner.

  • Danielle B.

    Have been here twice, and I have to agree with all of the reviews that were written prior to mine. The sliders are really excellent..perhaps a little on the gluttonous side, but hey, that's the whole point! My favorites are the Chorizo (it happened to be the mystery meat when I went), the BBQ Bacon, and the Buffalo Chicken. Oh I also really enjoyed the truffle fries! My favorite drink? The Gin Promise - but with vodka instead of gin! The only reason I gave this place four stars instead of 5 is that I find the service at Green Dot is a little disruptive. I get that everything on the menu is around $3, so servers really have to work hard to get the average check up to a decent amount..but still, I don't want people coming back to my table 1 minute after I've received my sliders to see if I want any more. Maybe I've been out of the States too long..I actually appreciate it when servers give me some space to enjoy my drinks, my meal (even if I'm eating it with my hands and it costs $3) and the conversation I'm having with my friends/loved ones. I just don't feel like Green Dot is a place that you can stay and "chill" before/after you've devoured your sliders (unless you're sitting at the bar which isn't very big). The waitstaff (at least in my opinion) puts a LOT of pressure on you to keep on ordering more, or to get the check. Will still be back though. You got a good things going on Green Dot, and you're less than a minute away from where I live!

    Maybe, I'm not cool enough to understand what's so great about this place. It's ok,but grungy servers and little sliders in a cardboard boat. I'm all for this place and I'll go back but not waiting in line and freaking out about how unbelievably amazing everything is.

    Great atmosphere, great beer selection and great food. Even if you don't love every single slider they have it doesn't really matter at $3/each. The mystery meat slider keeps things fresh by giving you a unique option each day. They have a mystery beer that changes regularly as well. The staff is friendly and relaxed. Green Dot has quickly become one of my favorite haunts.

    If I could give ZERO stars, I would! This has nothing to do with the food/drinks, but everything to do with the service!! 3rd time in there, 3rd time with horrible service, and 3 strikes...you're out!! 2 of us walked in, the host pointed us to a 2-person table. As we approached the table, the waitress attempted to stop us, and tell us that we had to see the host first. We explained that he was the one who told us where to sit. We were not eating, just came for drinks (following the Marche du Nain Rouge). After ordering our drinks, we realized that friends of ours were seated at another table, finishing up their dinner. They were at an 8-person table, but 2 people in their party had left early. We asked to cash out, so we could finish our drinks, with our friends. We were told no. What??!! We insisted they cash us out then, and said we'd leave instead. After a 2nd employee tried to explain the situation, we again said that we were just going to finish our drinks with our friends, and leave as soon as they did. Again, we were told NO. We insisted on paying our bill, at this point. So... a 3rd employee came to our table, to again try to "explain" a situation that we no longer cared to hear about. We were finally able to pay. Instead of sitting in the 2 empty chairs at our friends' table, we STOOD next to them, until all of us had finished our drinks (another 10 minutes). So now, out of a party of 8 people, 3 of whom had never been there before, and ALL of whom like to spend their money during a fun night out, NONE of us will be returning! Shame on you, Green Dot Stables! And shame on your EXTREMELY POOR customer service. I WILL be spreading the word!

    The food is very good. They have a great wide selection of Sliders. I got the cheeseburger (Awesome!) Buffalo Chx Slider (Awesome!) and Gyro (Pretty good). If you get fries don't get the Cajun not as good as the Vinegar ones. The Price for Drinks are cheap and great. The wait was a little long, but other then that it was Damn good.

    Great sliders, drinks, beer selections, and prices! Good place to have snacks and drink. Food portions are small, but that's why it's so inexpensive.

    Felt like I was gunslinger walking into saloon. Has that old fashioned, western vibe to it with a modern touch. Everything is cheap, $2-$5 on food and up to $8 on drinks. Creative sliders abound.... I'm not a huge fan of sliders, these were good though I don't have enough experience to compare to many others. Great michigan brews on tap or bottled. Get there, look around to understand the theme. Enjoy my friends!!!

    Barely opened their earnest attempts to get everything right is clear. I went at lunch time and my waiter was more than helpful in explaining to me all about the menu. I ordered the crabcake slider, the kimchi, and a regular burger. The crabcake was excellent but I think the texture of the bun and cake was too similar. The burger was a wonderful, simple example of what a slider should be. On the menu the kimchi says something about a peanut paste or dressing or whatever it is I wish I could have tasted it. The mac n cheese is what you would expect with a bit of goo the way I like it. Oh yeah, brought home the chicken slider for my boyfriend and it was quite tasty and sizable for a slider.

    I loved it from the first moment I saw it and the fact that when I went in they were playing the TomTom Club just sold the restaurant even harder. Their option for hard cider was an apple ginger and it was delicious. I could have probably sipped on that all day. To eat I got a grilled cheese slider, black bean slider, and cajun fries. Grilled cheese was wonderful, the black bean slider was good (the black bean sliders at Sidetracks in Ypsilanti are better), and the cajun fries were perfect. I really enjoyed the soft buns and the fresh greens/tomatoes on the black bean burger were great. For dessert I got this faygo sorbet thing that left me in sugar shock; it was good, but I'm really glad the portion was small, because otherwise I would have died. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and I'll probably go back to see if this rating can be bumped up to 5 stars.

    I came here with my sister after the matinee Jack White show a few months back and I am still thinking about it! When driving there we actually passed the place because I wasn't expecting it to be so "off the beaten path", per say. Walking in it was pretty quite and a little muggy for such a hot day. I was surprised that all the menu had to offer was sliders and sides, but no big deal. The drinks are so cheap! We didn't get any but definitely made note for next time. We each ordered a pop, which were both very flat. I ordered the cheeseburger slider and grilled cheese slider with a side of poutine (fries with cheese curds and gravy). The cheeseburger slider was amazing! The grilled onions were perfection. The grilled cheese slider was also wonderful. Not your typical grilled cheese sandwich. There was something different in that cheese that made it pop. Being Canadian I was so excited for the poutine! It was very good except it was exceptionally salty so I took great advantage of my flat-tasting pop. My sister enjoyed her black-bean slider as well. The service was also average, nothing spectacular but good enough. Overall, Green Dot Stables left us with a very good opinion and experience. It has become a place we recommend to friends. I might stop in tonight again so hopefully the second time is as pleasant as the first was!

    Great sliders! I tried the black bean and the catfish slider. The mac and cheese was ok, it lacked a little flavor. The best part of this place is the $3 craft beers and strong $3 mixed drinks! I will be back!

  • Mike S.

    First time at Green Dot and won't be our last. The sides were very good, cucumbers with creme fraiche were excellent. As for the sliders, corned beef, Cuban, Korean, and fried chicken were our favorites. The Mystery Meat, rabbit this outing, was very good, as were the Hot Brown and catfish. $3 Michigan-brewed beers were the icing on the cake.

  • Rozy H.

    A great time with friends, who ran into more friends, who all love the food and the atmosphere. The Cuban's a winner, the chowder and the desserts. Truffle oil fries, amazing. Beer selection and prices, honest. We waited an hour on a Saturday night and I'll do it again.

  • Kristy A.

    I went here with friends. It was really reasonable in price, juicy and tasty... and the service was wonderful. My only con is all of the paper products that were used for my meal. I suppose that's my only complaint... because I ended up using four little paper baskets.. when I feel that I would have been okay with having four little colored pieces of paper on a dinner plate, or just a plate. I am sure that these paper baskets are made of recycled paper, and recycled after our use.. but I'm not sure. I suppose washing dishes uses water too, so I guess its a catch either way. Good food though.

    This place is really cool. Servers are great, good beer selection.

    This restaurant is a Detroit Gem!! I always recommend it to our out of town visitors. The food is very tasty & innovative! And did I say.....Cheap! Always check out the "Mystery meat" of the day....I have Never been disappointed with the unique slider! I really love the Poutin ( cheese curds & gravy on French fries) the Korean slider has peanut butter & Kimchi-Yummmm I love LOVE the Kale with quinoa, shallots & lemon vinaigrette! Ang got her scrumptious Mac & cheese! Dennis got the hummus- awesome stuff! I am so glad to be here. It's packed at 2:30pm... So others agree with me! Braised pork belly with a ginger sauce is the mystery meat today.

  • Christina G.

    Good for quick low budget meals. $2-3 burgers, soups, sides, apps. Drinks are $3-5. Beers $2-3 Overall really good value. Line is usually 20 min - 2 hours. Bring cash for the bar while you wait. Come before a baseball game or with a group. Lots it fun. My husband doesn't like the .50$ up charge on changing salad dressing. No substations! Lol. $10 minimum on credit card.

    OK, by now, everyone knows the deal with the sliders, so I don't really need to explain further. The cheap drinks need to be mentioned - they had Final Absolution for $3. I question whether the glass it was served in was 16oz, but even if it was 12, it would still be a good deal. My wife ordered a bottle of hard cider. Apparently, the bartender slammed it down, causing it to bubble over. Since it wasn't full, they gave her another bottle, so she had 1 3/4 bottles of cider for the price of one. My wife and I split 5 sliders, not sure if I can remember all 5 that we ordered: bbq bacon burger, chicken and syrup, gyro, black bean, and the mystery meat. The mystery meat was lamb fries, which for those like me that didn't know, are lamb testicles. Sounds a bit like something Andrew Zimmern might eat, but it was really good. It tasted just like our server described it, like a premium chicken nugget. Out of the five we ordered, my least favorite was the more traditional burger with the bbq and bacon. My favorite was the chicken and syrup. The breading they have on their chicken and lamb fries was crsipy and delicious. The sides we ordered were just OK. My wife got the kale and said there was too much dressing. I had the mac and cheese and it was a bit bland, but had some heat. It was odd, it didn't taste like much, but really warmed up your mouth. Far and away the best slider of the night was the last - we ordered the s'mores slider and took our server's advice and added bacon. Best. Advice. Ever. It was incredible! So with all of that premium food and two drinks, we got out of there for $30 before tip. Nice. Definitely going back.

    Took some friends back to Green Dot Stables yesterday and learned that the Sunday menu is greatly pared down (half as many slider options, no soups, no desserts) compared to the rest of the week. Everything we had was still good, but there were several things we were counting on that weren't available.

  • Dil F.

    excellent food, service, space, beer list. let's just not compare them to the sliders we've known and loved over the years. To do so would be disingenuous. These are fancy mini-burgers (or fancy mini-other kinds of meat on a mini-bun), and they're super delicious. I tried a variety of them and each one was a little knockout (went home with a blackeye of food delight). Prices are fair'ish, you could definitely drop quite a ton of cash before you got FULL, but, i'd like to think of this place not as my dinner-stop but as my booze and munchies stop. Great beer list and cocktail menu at super decent prices (where sugarhouse promised but didn't really keep to their plan for cheap fancy cocktails, i think Green Dot Stables might fill in that niche rather admirably). I'm also hoping the fancy appeal will send the youthful urban explorers just down the street to throw good old Johnny's Ham King a little business too. It's the opposite of fancy, but equally delicious. Here's hoping. The only mystery is that, on both visits, the parking lot seemed three times as full as the inside population would suggest... does the kitchen employ 20 people perhaps? no idea... anyway, great spot. ps. FOOSBALL!!! (it's here)

    If nothing else, come for the "mystery meat" slider... Each week Green Dot offers up a unique slider... in the past few weeks we've tried antelope, pork belly, blood sausage... alongside its usual menu of little tasty morsels like cheeseburgers, curry chicken, Korean BBQ, etc... The sliders are $2 or $3 apiece and at that price point, you get a lot of yum for the money. I've tried the soups and salads and have to say that the chicken paprikash soup is a soothing comfort food, the kale salad is crisp and tangy and the portions are just right. Green Dot is a funky little place that challenges your taste buds to enjoy the savory. The people who work there are friendly. The environment is comfy, basically reminding me of a pizza restaurant I went to in the 80's but without the red plastic tumblers and smell of oregano. The music is always a little retro and did I mention that the prices are right for sampling, sharing and experimenting? Love this place.

    Somewhat a hipster hangout, but also a place where any Joe Schmo could come for lunch or just to get great food and some good drinks. The place is casual and comfortable and the food is outstanding. These are sliders we're talking here but their interesting take on this simple food has left me impressed. They definitely pack a flavor punch! I ordered the Cuban slider - roasted pork butt, ham, mustard, pickles, and jack cheese. Simple enough, but the way the ham was seared on the edges gave a whole new flavor element than what you are used to getting froma regular old Cuban sandwich. I also got one that they don't seem to have on the menu anymore that really made me want to come back here. It had a funny name but included ingredients like grilled steak, carmelized onions, and a pesto aioli. Again, something about the way the steak was cooked just added so much flavor to this little sandwich! I had a side of the malt vinegar fries that were equally as satisfying as the rest of my meal. Also, our waiter had amazingly perfect hair, it was just crazy. Like he should be in a Pantene commercial or something. Obviously he's in the wrong business being a waiter. As good as the food was, I'm only giving it 3 stars due to the lack of service we got here. It wasn't outrageously busy when we went but we still waited aver 10 maybe even 15 minutes after beng seated to even get someone to take our drink order. Other than that it was a good experience and I like that there is another successful business making it in Detroit!

    Cute setting. Jade did a great job explaining the menu and the specials. Try the Saugatuck Brewery selections. These sliders are not White Castle variety. I loved the hot brown and the Sloppy Joe Louis with the Dr. Pepper reduction! Will definitely be back.

    really enjoyed my visit last weekend! truffle and herb fries were excellent (although a bit salty if you're not into that). au poivre, grilled cheese, and cheeseburger sliders were great, as was the mystery meat (that day it was a gyro meat slider). we had a larger party, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. taking a work friend again today to try out what i missed.

    Great atmosphere, tables are not to crowded together so you have room to breathe. The menu is incredible. Sliders ($2-3 each), fries ($2-3 each), beverages ($2-4 each). It's like a American tapas restaurant. I had the Cuban and the Korean slider and the truffle fries (oh my, worth the trip just for these!) and a Little King Beer for under $12! And I was pleasantly sated. Not bursting at the seams full, but comfortably satisfied. The nice thing is if I still felt a little hunger pang I know I could have ordered another slider, or one of their sides for just a few extra bucks. They have their own parking lot so parking was not an issue and felt very secure. Our waiter had the most impressive black beard I have ever seen and an unassuming but attentive presence at our table. He made sure we had the time we needed to peruse the menu, got us our food quickly once we finally ordered, kept out table clean, our water glasses filled and never once interrupted our flow of conversation. I will be back!

    Really cool place. It is great to see places like this in Detroit. The atmosphere was really cool, it kind of has a dark pub feel. The menu is really simple but good. There is a great variety of sliders, and the fries are spectacular. They even offer desert sliders which are quite good. The service here was very good. They have a few TV's and I thought it was really cool they were playing tennis matches and soccer games. It is rare to see that in a bar, but I really liked it. The bar was pretty good and cheap!!! I found the decor to be really nice.

    This is fantastic new bar in Detroit that is a new must drink/eat here regularly stop on our monthly Detroit pub crawl. This is unusual as Detroit bars/restaurants are either for Drinking/Not eating(Sugar House, Grand Trunk) or Eating/Not Drinking(Supinos, Lupitas). It has the perfect idea for bar food - little sliders made of amazing ingredients and simple, but tasty array of fresh vegetable-focused sides. For example, I had the mouth-watering daily special - a juicy Buffalo Burger with Lemongrass Aioli and Caramelized Onions. To accompany this I ordered fresh crisp cucumbers with a delicious zesty Creme Fraiche sauce for dip. Unlike bar food, we didn't leave there feeling grease-tastic and loaded down with fat. I also liked that it seemed like a neighborhood bar (even though it isn't in a neighborhood) with hipsters, families, and various denizens of the city. A great place to go before or after a Tigers game! I'm super happy to see this kind of place doing well in Detroit.

    The place is fantastic all around and I was really looking forward to eating there tonight. Atmosphere, service, cleanliness, all was great. 5 stars really. But the kitchen definitely had an issue today and I'm really disappointed. Sorry guys, change the frying grease and cooking grease asap. It had that taste today. You know, THAT taste. Yes, that one. Ugh. And the catfish was undercooked, almost raw. Who gets the catfish anyway, you might ask, but hey!

  • Joshua D.

    First off I want to point out that this review is based on CARRY-OUT. My office had heard good things about this restaurant so we decided to check it out for lunch. We ordered many sliders including the lamb, corned beef, cheeseburger, BBQ bacon, ham and cheese, catfish, and the buffalo chicken. To put it short we loved them all. They were all perfectly cooked and flavorful. I highly recommend the buffalo chicken sliders since the blue cheese spread is very creamy and delicious. The reason I gave this place 3 Stars is because of the fries and the way the manager addressed my complaint. Our office ordered the truffle, Cajun, and malt vinegar fries and the portion was RIDICULOUSLY SMALL . Each bag of fries probably had about 20 individual fries; less than a handful and smaller than a small fry at McDonald's ( I am not comparing the quality of the fry to them, just giving a size comparison). Unfortunately it seems to be the case with many establishments that they give out smaller portions for take out orders and I believe this was the case here. When I called to ask about the portion sizes the manager was abrasive and defensive, implying that I was crazy to expect more truffle fires for $3. She then proceeded to give me a lesson about truffle salt and how expensive it is. First off it was not just the truffle fires that we lacking in quantity; we had small portions for all of our fries. I have been to many fine restaurants with truffle fries where I was served much larger portions for the same price. I am also aware of the cost of truffle oil and truffle salt and I did not enjoy being patronized. All that aside I could understand the portion size for the truffle fries, but the other orders; there is no excuse. The manager did not have to be rude to me when I voiced my complaint. She could have simply said these are the standard sizes we provide and we would be happy to give you an extra fry next time you visit. So in short, if you are looking to carry out from this place, spend the $3 on another slider instead of the fries since they are clearly ripping off their customers. When I eventually dine in I will update this to see if the fry portions are the same in the restaurant.

    Green dot stables goes back more than forty years. Was always Corktowns dive place in the middle of nowhere until a few years ago. Named for a horse that won a race way back and so the owner had an affinity for his prized dame so much that he named and themed the entire bar after her. As such, the interior is pretty unique. They serve sliders of all sorts. Thats what they are known for. Went there on a Sunday and it was tame and very old school. Packed with people though. Wait was not long at all. Try the cheesburger, the philly cheese steak, the Buffalo chicken, the Korean or all of the above. Served with fries. Service is good. Go again and again!!

  • Jennifer H.

    This place has been recommended to me a few times and my husband and I decided to try it. We sat up at the bar and the service was excellent. For a Saturday afternoon at 2:30p, it was quite crowded but I didn't think that made service slow by any means. I ordered the catfish slider as well as the black bean slider and we shared an order of herb and truffle fries. Everything tasted wonderful. I am partial to the catfish slider and the herb and truffle fries though. Very tasty. We also had a few beers which are so reasonably priced. It was 3 dollars for Michigan draft beer. The sliders were about 3 bucks too. We had a lot of time to kill and between us we polished off 4 beers each. With the food and all the beer our bill came to about 45 dollars which, in most places, it would've cost us that much for our beer. The bartenders were super friendly and attentive. The restroom was very clean and actually decorated kinda cute. Seems like people from all walks of life were dining. From young to old, bigger groups to couples to even a few singles sitting up at the bar. I will definitely go here again soon.

    Green Dot was a great find to fill me up before I left Detroit. We got lucky and were seated pretty quickly, as the place was filling up with with Tigers fans who were escaping the rain. It was packed and people were waiting outside as we left - and it was mid afternoon! I had the several mystery meat (sloppy joey as in kangaroo), quinoa burger and tempeh sliders, plus a side of truffle and herb fries. To wash them down, I had some local drafts. They were all excellent. What sets the sliders here apart from other places is the use of fresh, flavorful combinations of ingredients. Despite the gourmet ingredients, the prices are still very reasonable. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were excellent and attentive. We ordered a few extras, and because of the rush it took a little extra time so we had them as take out. They were perfect for my flight out of town, which made me wish Green Dot Stables would open in Nashville. I'll be back on my next trip to Detroit.

  • Mark O.

    Ok- I know everyone has been tripping over themselves to pump this place up and I will say, I do like the place...I like the local bar feel, the food is good, and the service is good enough since it's always been packed every time I've gone. I love that they have very unusual rotating special sliders, and it doesn't get much better than Nutella desserts. Also- POUTINE!! But here's the thing: I know they are serving sliders, but most of the time the overwhelming taste is bun...they really need to put some more meat on the sliders. Also, I know it sounds cheap- only $3???, woohoo- but by the time you get 3-4 sliders (bc you want to get a good sampling of all the different options), an order of fries or poutine, and a beer- you're looking at $16. I'm not saying that's a crazy price, but I'm hungry an hour later. Add some more meat to the sliders and you've got a great place.

  • Michael P.

    This place is a restaraunt that truly encompasses the heart of Detroit. Excellent local food and drink that is RIDICULOSULY cheap. They are famous for their sliders. I recommend...well all of them. When I went I ordered all of them and was hurting afterward but this way I know they are all fantastic. If you don't have that big of a stomach, well, come back again. The place is usually pretty loud because it is packed. Everyone that knows detroit food knows that this place is great do expect it to be very busy. I came on a Monday night and the house was nearly sold out. I used to live in Detroit myself and it's places like this that encompass the culture of the city and its true comeback that make me want to return.

  • Gary R.

    I liked it, didn't love it. Sure, the food was plentiful and cheap. So were the crowds. I mean, on a non prime time visit the place was bumping so bad we had to wait for a table, then wait for service, then wait for food and drink. I cannot even imagine the horror there if you chose to make a meal time visit. Ouch!! But $3 cocktails? Winner. $3 sliders? Winner. Tasty and plentiful options? Oh yeah. Beer selection wasn't as much to my taste as I had hoped but I made do. But being jammed in there, poor service, long waits... Maybe I'm spoiled but I'd rather pay a little extra to avoid all those inconveniences. Now, if I knew beforehand that none of you people would be there, I'd be back in a heartbeat!! But I'm never that lucky.

  • Mac R.

    This place was busy, even during a non-peak time. When I saw the prices, I understood the mass appeal. All sliders, beers, wines & many of the cocktails were $3. Wish they'd had a few more IPA selections to choose from on their list. Everything we sampled was pretty good. They have a mystery meat slider that the server explains. The day I ate here it was octopus with daikon & an Asian sauce - I got onboard. I also ordered the Hot Brown with chicken, bacon & mornay sauce (tasted more like mayo to me!) I also tasted my husbands Korean burger slider with peanut butter & kimchi. Interesting but I'm glad I didn't get it. Also got a side of mac & cheese that arrived in a brown ramekin & the Cajun fries I tasted were good. It was pretty tasty bar food at really reasonable prices. Interesting selections that are worthy of a solid 3-3.5 star rating. Would definitely go back!

  • Rebecca R.

    I loved everything about this place! My only complaint if I have to have one is that it's so crowded. The food was great. The service was great. The drinks were great. We had bloody marys and summer sodas both drinks tasted great. We had truffle and herb fries that didn't disappoint and an order of fries with cheese and sausage gravy. I thought they were OK but my husband really liked them. The sliders we tried: fried chicken with maple glaze, chicken salad, corned beef, BBQ bacon sweet potato, blgt and cheeseburger. All of them tasted wonderful. I didn't love the fried chicken with maple but that's just me not liking sweet flavors with meat. We will definitely be back!

    My brother lives overseas and is visiting Detroit for the weekend before continuing on his US tour and where else do I take him for dinner but one of my favorite places in town - GREEN DOT! Great sliders at a fab price point of about $2-3 each, so you can order a bunch for a regularly priced dinner but be able to try a lot of options! Only CON is that they don't take reservations. 5:30 pm on a Saturday night and the wait for 4 was about 1.5 hours. Dang! You can order drinks and wait outside at the picnic tables; it's a shame they can't serve food outside! Literally four of us stood around two bar chairs, which we turned around to make a makeshift table, and ate at the bar, ordering drinks and food - weird but hey we had no wait and it made for a more sociable style! And still it was a good experience with yummy food and we'd all still go back despite this haha! Party of 4, we each ordered a few drinks, about 4-5 burgers each, 3 sides and total was about $28 per person - and everyone was satisfied and appropriately full! Love their beer menu and mystery options, including a Michigan mystery option! We ordered: Cucumber salad - huge cuke slices with a delectable dipping spread. Tastes like a salty cream cheese and probably horribly high in calories because it's so good. Poutine fries - yum, always a good option, huge chunks of cheese curd Mystery meat - always fun. Today was braised pork belly and was delishhhhh. I wanna go back and eat more more more. Also I've had the kale salad, which was good. #1 hands down my fav slider is the peanut butter + kimchi. Sounds super weird but it's delish and my brother and another friend ordered it with me because I was raving about it - and they all loved it too - so during the second round of ordering, the 4th member of our party ordered it and also agreed it's so good! Fried catfish - YUM! Fried chicken - my friend previously had said his chicken was dry, but I found mine to be crispy and yummy with the sweet syrup. Like chicken and waffles without the waffles haha My brother also said a favorite was the buffalo chicken - probably too spicy for me, but it hit the spot for him as he'd been craving chicken wings. Cuban - just okay with ham and mustard Lamb - with rosemary, good!

    This is my go to spot in Detroit, after games, concerts, or just cause! I haven't had something I don't like, honest. Their Mac and cheese is one of my favorites of all time, made with the best noodles and white cheese. Their Korean slider is my favorite on the menu followed by their PB&J which has a kick to it. They have a different mystery meat weekly as well so be sure to ask about that, it's always something off the wall that sounds scary but usually always worth the taste. Their service is sub-par, and the wait times are typically a little longer than you'd expect. But that's okay when everything on the menu is $3 or less including their drinks! Speaking of drinks, they always have local Michigan brews on tap which I love. And their mixed drinks will put some hair on your chest but all are good. Don't be surprised if there's a wait when you go but turnover time is pretty quick.

    Food wise I would say 3.5-4 stars but overall definitely a 5 star joint! A variety of bite size sliders and small eats combined with a great selection of beer at a very affordable price ($2-$3 each); what's not to love? So go ahead and try everything! Salmon, beef and kimchi are great choices! And definitely go for their fries! Their soup is a bit on salty side so I would avoid. Come late and come hungry. This place is just a blast to hang out with good friends and enjoy a few drinks.

    My opinion of Green Dot had only improved since my first visit to Green Dot 2.0. The prices have remained super cheap on a per item basis. I would eat the fried chicken slider with the sage maple syrup on a regular basis and be extremely happy. I also enjoy the mystery meat option when I want to try something different and scary and only be out $3 if I hate it. Service is hit or miss, largely due to how crowded it gets at times. And oh, it gets crowded. If I'm with just one other person, I like to grab a bar seat. Every bartender I've had here was great. A WORD FOR FOLKS WHO ORDER DRINKS WHILE WAITING FOR THEIR TABLE: Why don't you tip the bartender who pulled their attention away from their seated customers and got you beverages to help you pass the time? As a casual observer, I was shocked by the number of times this happened. All in all, I am a Green Dot 2.0 convert.

    Love this place. Great for a group, or just 2 people. Everything on the menu is $3 or less. Except some drinks are a little more. The burgers are the sizes of sliders and a great selection. The Lamb was my favorite. Definitely worth checking our

    I had been wanting to try this place out for a while - I came here once on a random Wed. night at like 10pm and there was a 40 minute wait, so that time we went for Cuban food instead. This time, we were determined to eat here, so we took the 40 minute wait time, even though it ended up being like 20-30 minutes instead which was good. THE PROS: -Huge list of sliders, and all are $3. Fries (all small orders) are also $3 and mini tiny salads are $2 or $3 too. I had the Cuban slider, the BBQ bacon, and the gyro ... my fave was probably the Cuban, with the BBQ a close second. (what's with the sweet potato mash in the bun though??) -Delicious foods. Drinks are also $3. -Fun place to hang out with friends. THE CONS: -They let us use as many credit cards as we wanted, but we had to do our own math. (ie, they wouldn't just split the bill for us.) Since we had 6 people, this took a while. -Took about 20-30 mins. to get food and for some reason the French fries came out first. I went with a friend and some of his friends this time, I want to come back here with my boyfriend next time as I think he'd love the sliders. It's also located in a sparse-ish area of downtown so there's plenty of street as well as lot parking, which is great. My total bill for 3 sliders, an order of fries, and a drink (mint julep, and yummy!) was about $15 which is decent, IMO.

    I very rarely give out 5 stars, but this place earned it. To start, the food was amazing and very creative. Our order consisted of the Korean, Cuban, Mystery Meat (which was baby octopus with watermelon relish- AMAZING!!) the Philly, Chicken, Coney Dog, and a few others. We devoured every bite of it. For desert, we had the cheesecake (homemade) and our server even treated us to a Smore. I was happily surprised by the amazing quality of the food. Our server, Alicia, was great! She talked with us about the city, recommended a few places in the city to try, and told us a little about the restaurant. She did a fabulous job and treated us with 5 star service. The decor is really neat too. What a hidden gem in the city. We will defensively be visiting again.

    It's hard for me to say anything novel other than what's already been said about Green Dot. It's my favorite place to take people from out of town. It is also a fantastic happy hour with dirt cheap drinks and a great crowd on weeknights. This place (for people that are new to Green Dot) serves sliders and small appetizers for under 5 dollars per serving. Most sliders are $3. Anything you get on this menu is going to be amazing, no joke. I regularly get the gyro, Cuban, and the mystery meat which changes weekly. I highly recommend trying it. From ostrich to kangaroo, you can bet it will be something interesting. My favorite I ever got was near thanksgiving and it was a thanksgiving dinner slider, turkey/gravy/mashed potatoes/stuffing with a cranberry sauce topping. Amazing. Downside is you will have to wait pretty consistently and you cannot eat out on the patio, just drink. But it is well worth the wait. Overall: amazing, cheap food. Cheap drinks. You can't go wrong.

    I'm wondering where I should take this review. One note you must know is to bring a calculator. The food and drinks on one hand are really cheap and good, but the way they handle the billing system is crazy. So I went here with more then one person here, as most people do not eat alone. The issue here is that they won't spilt the checks. They give you a pen a paper and you need to calculate how much each persons bill is. FYI - Be prepared to eat your fries before you eat your burger.

  • Brandie H.

    Cute little gem of a restaurant with cute little burgers. These sliders are a great way to have a little bit of everything. This place makes every burger unique placing a spin on everything from a simple chicken sandwich by frying it Panko style with maple syrup inside. It makes for a delicious sweet surprise ending with a flavorful and crunchy beginning. The list of unique treats goes on even the deserts are served on a bun. I would recommend getting a couple of burgers at least two if you are planning on making it a meal. They are very bite sized and make a good snack but for a hungry person one will not fill you up.

    This place is one of those all-hype, no-substance places that are popping up around Detroit. I went to this place after hearing about it for months. I was terribly disappointed. They serve "sliders" and the buns are white bread dinner rolls- like the kind you get at Meijer or Walmart for $1.99 a pack. They don't even toast them, they are cold and squishy like wonder bread. I don't eat beef or pork, so I got all the other sliders instead. Each and everyone was a sad excuse for food. The taste was the equivalent of fast food, or worse. The prices are absolutely ridiculous considering the low quality food they are serving in tiny portions. This place is a drinking hole ONLY. The food is terrible, and the wait is usually 30 min to an hour. If you're not there to get drunk with your hipster friends, you will leave disappointed. Avoid at all costs.

    What a cool place!! Wanted to try something new and this is the "it" place among my friends lately. It's been blowing up my newsfeed so decided I had to try! Really quirky place, very warm and inviting. Decorated really well to the theme. Service was good all around. Waited about 20 mins for a table, nice area in the back to relax with a cash only bar. Not fully stocked, but enough choices to make it worth while. Ordered wedge salad, 6 different sliders... the cuban was my fav!, and two kinds of fries. All of it was seriously delish!! You cannot beat the quality, either. Fast and fresh, as well. Drinks were also good- the prices are amazing!!! Do yourself a favor and check this place out. I want to go back soon, and take a bunch of friends with me to show them just how cool it is.

    So happy I finally tried this local Detroit hidden gem. Great variety of unique sliders and sides we tried house made hummus w/ fried naan delish must try it wo t disappoint Venison Chili Fries were really good. We also enjoyed: BBQ Bacon, cat fish, fried chicken & Corned beef, sliders all were so good I will be back to this place

    The experience at Green Dot is superior to the food itself and even that comes with a big asterisk. Dropped in on a Friday afternoon for lunch and we had a good time even though our waiter was impatient with us. He said he had been working there for 2 weeks but his tolerance of newbies was like he had been shackled there for 15 years with no other career options. I got the gist quickly but the other person I was dining with had questions and requests that he had no interest or patience in answering. A pretty big f you to receive when eating somewhere for the first time. Sliders were good but not great and the small plate samplers are cute although far from exquisite culinary creations worthy of the 10,000+ reviews. I love Corktown and support Corktown but will not tolerate such poor service regardless of your flower sprouting in a concrete jungle story. And then I'm the prick for requesting a refill or inquiring about the whereabouts of the other half of our order. Gotcha... I was also skeptical of the mysterious wait that conveniently vanished after we quickly ordered a scotch and a beer at the bar. By the time (2 mins, tops) we made it to the empty back patio to sip on our beverages, our friendly host came back to tell us our table had magically came available. Coincidence or do they do they want you rack up a little bar tab first? But cheers to the success of Green Dot Stables and for the many fun times and delicious sliders that I'm sure will be in my future entertaining out of towners who know no better than to trust good old yelp reviews. Tread lightly good people and be leery of bitch boy servers with blonde beards and snarky service. The back of the house looked to be kicking ass, the host was awesome and our bartender was very cool. But one bad apple spoils the bunch and drops a 4 star spot down to 3.

    Stopped in at the stables, wow, horses every where! The place is cool, great service, the sliders were tasty and very original. Loved the mystery choice, and they serve beer, the only bad thing is I want more, more sliders please. We enjoyed it the place is pretty cool. And we went for the fluff at the end cus we wanted more sliders. What's not to like? Thumbs up green dot.

    I wish I could give this bar/restaurant more stars. It was amazing!!!! It was pretty busy for it being a Monday night and no games on. You can't beat the AMAZING $3 sliders. And no they're not just burgers- they have a huge variety of sliders. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

  • Za M.

    This was the first restaurant I went to on my trip to Detroit (Pittsburgher, here!) and man, oh man, was I not disappointed! My cousins and I decided to come here and although the wait was pretty darn long (the place was PACKED), it was well worth it. I must admit that I have never had sliders before in my life, and Green Dot Stables opened my eyes to the world of miniature burgers. As a table of 4, we ordered, in total about 16 sliders with 3 different types of fries. I ordered the mystery meat (smoked salmon), Buffalo Chicken, Fried Chicken, and Philly Cheesesteak. I personally found the fried chicken to be a little too sweet and a bit on the soggy side, but flavorful nonetheless. In addition to the sliders, we ordered truffle oil fries (SO good!), cajun fries (these were a bit over seasoned and salty for my tastes), and last but not least, le poutine! Oh my, what a delicious combination of gravy, potatoes, and cheese! I highly recommend ordering these on your next trek here, if you haven't tried them already! I found the atmosphere to be quite cozy and warm. It has a nice hometown bar feel to it. Waitstaff was friendly and efficient once we were seated. Bottom Line: You can't beat buying $3 sliders that deliver on flavor! Definitely recommend this place, but be warned, get here early, otherwise you'll be waiting a long while!

  • Evie B.

    Okay finally got here- like the atmosphere. Opened at 12 and there was a line, place completely filled by 12:30. Waitress kept up with things, moved fast... Who doesn't love inexpensive drinks- my bottles were $2 that, but was very disappointed in our sliders. You're thinking $3 inexpensive but seriously these were teeeeeeeeeeny tiiiiiiiiiny. The Cuban and corned beef were the only 2 in which we did not have to open the bun to find protein. The Cuban and corned beef were yummy but nothing dynamic. My fried chicken was a tiny lil piece of thinly sliced fried chicken. I had to lift the top bun to find it. Unfortunately , I basically tasted a syrup bun with a hint of chicken . Same for my hubs who ordered the cheeseburger- where's the beef?" Yes I know they are sliders but come on, I'm still paying $2 for that burger. I went to take pics because it was actually pretty damned funny. Chicken tortilla soup was FANTASTIC!!!! Loved it! Mac cheese- soooooooooo BAD! Watered down no flavor/ bland ...the putine fries ( gravy sausage) yuuuuummmmmy- truffle fries - yuuuummmmmy. $26 lunch- we were full and will return for another go at some other options. For bite sized sliders$3 may be steep...

    After frequenting this place for about a year, I feel the need to update my review. This place is ALWAYS consistent. I have tried some really good sliders and apps in the last year here. The tempeh is STILL my favorite slider, even though sometimes the tempeh can be cut way too thick. I've also really liked the gyro and usually those are my 2 go-to's. The Mac and cheese is one of the best macs I've ever had, especially with sriracha. And the s'mores slider, though I usually don't have room for, is the best dessert- who doesn't love Nutella!!! Their drinks are cheap, but usually pretty weak. I usually just get a bed if I'm drinking. Mimosas are $18 but you get a bottle of champagne and a mason jar of orange juice so that's great for sharing. I always love this place and will be back, as usual. :)

  • Lindsay B.

    Visited at around 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon and this place was packed. Very dark interior with dim lighting and lots of wood tones. They surprisingly had a handful of vegetarian sliders and I selected the quinoa burger and the tempeh burger. The tempeh had a flavorful wasabi mayo on top and was a juicy and enjoyable few bites. The quinoa was uneventful, dry and pretty flavorless. We ordered some fries for the table, both the Cajun and the truffle varieties. Both were pretty tasty, crispy shoestrings. The orders are small but about what I expected with Green Dot being a slider place. The drink menu looked pretty cheap, and each menu item was about $3 so lots of opportunities to try some different stuff. Service wasn't great. Slow and not very attentive. Like I mentioned it was pretty busy for an off peak time but around 45 minutes to get just a few sliders and an additional 15 for my mom's Mac and cheese to come out. We had already finished eating! My water glass was empty for about 2/3 of my meal which drives me crazy. I'm glad I checked this place out as there seems to be a yelp buzz about it, but I'm in no rush to go back.

  • Jenni V.

    Not group friendly at all. The place can be half empty and they won't seat you until everyone from your party is there. We had 7 people and they were gonna seat us at 6 top and pull up a seat. At 4:45 pm with all the tables open they wouldn't let the 6 of us sit. They have an absolutely no joiner experience. The food was decent and drinks are cheaply priced, but the hostess was super rude.

    Aww man.. It hits the spot. Low lit yellowish decor makes you think you're in a Chris Farley 'Daaa Bears' SNL bar skit. But those sliders though. I had five and I don't wanna talk about it more than to say, come here. You will be happy. The music playing is great and the TV's play the Tigers and I am gonna stop typing and continue enjoying (I am still here). :^)

    I have been trying to get to Green Dot Stables for over a year. I've made it into the restaurant twice prior but both times, the wait was too long. This time, we went on a Thursday evening with no Tigers game or any other major events going on. This was stop number three of our food crawl. We were seated right away but it still took a while for our food to arrive. I'm guessing the service may just be slow. In any event, I really enjoyed all my food. I love all the slider options they have. It was hard for me to decide. I ended up going with a pretty good variety. I started with the macaroni and cheese. Our waiter suggested adding bacon and who am I to disagree?!? In my opinion, life is just better with bacon so I happily complied. For our sliders, we went with the buffalo, corned beef, fried bologna, Korean, fried chicken and BBQ bacon. And then I ordered a side of the truffle and herb french fries for good measure! They were all delicious but my favorite was the Korean! The combination of the beef patty with the peanut butter and the kimchi was heavenly! The ambiance is just as the name states...it literally feels like a stable. They have TVs around the perimeter which adds a bit of a modern feel but it's a cool, laid back environment. I understand why so many people go after a Tiger's game or just for a relaxing night out. It's a great hang out spot. I think everyone can find something that appeals to them on the menu. And I'm all about options and variety so I really like that you can get a smorgasbord of sliders. Delish! (For the record, I would like to give them 4.5 stars. I'm deducting .5 stars because of the slow service. Otherwise, the food is pretty awesome!)

  • Shantel T.

    Always busy and you can't be seated until your whole party is present, it's not the end of the world. It's only the end of the world if you don't get the truffle fries. And maybe the catfish slider. And the cheeseburger slider. And the bbq bacon slider. Don't expect this place to have 3 Michelin stars. It's a great place to eat on the weekends when you just wanna hang with friends and get a little grimey. I've tried all the sliders and I always try the Mystery Meat of the Day, but these happen to be the ones I go back to all the time. Give it a go.

    Okay I mean does Green Dot really need another review I think it said there are over 800 thus far. Meh what the heck I'll add my 2 cents lol First be prepared to wait....I have been dozens of times and have waited for a table each and every time. Don't get me wrong its totally worth the wait if you want my opinion. SO grab a drink from the bar and head outside if its nice out and chill. Now for the food.... oh the tiny food goodness that comes out of that kitchen makes my stomach so happy. I ALWAYS ALWAYS get a mystery meat because well you should try new things. This last time it was some sort of spicy sausage like thing going on that was basically the best breakfast sausage I have ever had x 100!! I also really love the Korean, the smooth peanut butter sauce and kimchi are freaking awesome. FRIES!! HOLY SMOKES!! get the fries!! Get them all. Get the poutine....my BF said it was the closest hes had to real poutine outside of Canada (he lived there) so I think that's good right? I got the Truffle fries...there was not a crumb left in my little basket of goodness. Seriously you guys its worth the wait don't fret or fear a packed house. just enjoy the mood and get one of everything your belly will thank you!

  • Gregory P.

    Ooh, Green Dot - you continue to be so popular! This place is often busy, so just know there's a good chance you'll have to wait for a seat. The suburban and family crowd have flocked here and for good reason: everything's cheap, tasty, and fun. Basically, try anything and everything. Tons of fun sliders and sides... and it's all $2 and $3! So go crazy. Also, order all your food at once. Otherwise, the subsequent order is going to come out way past when you want it and you're going to want that last extra slider. I'm just letting you know. You'll get wonderful service at the bar. I always want to sit there and converse with the friendly bartenders. They really make the experience top-notch.

    This place seems to specialize in sliders as I looked at the menu. I met a friend here after a big steak dinner @ Clawson's Steak House and its pretty much a tavern that has a couple of TVs and it gets pretty loud and rowdy here which is cool. I only had drinks, but the server made sure we had everything we needed. Good spot to bring friends have have drinks and sliders.

    I wish that this place wasn't full of tourists, because then maybe I would be down to go. But, now I only can go in the middle of the week and even then, a 2 hour wait sometimes. Stupid. It's cheap, and if you can get it, do it. But don't go starving because it's very much a small plate theme.

    Bring friends, order a ton of sliders, try a bite of everything - it's all delicious. Service isn't the greatest, and friends who have been many times before confirmed that promptness isn't always a priority here. But this is one case where it can be forgiven, because the vibe in that windowless room and the quality of the food make up for it.

  • Kaj M.

    First off, drinks are hello cheap. Their mint julep was pretty good on it's own but when you compare it to the price, it was phenomenal. My friends and I went on a Saturday around 11 am. It was packed. We had to wait for over 2.5 hours for a table. I ordered the black bean slider, buffalo chicken slider, and the tempeh. To be honest, the only one that I actually liked was the black bean. The other two had a funky smell to them. The kale salad was really really really good. So good that I actually made the copy cat recipe at home for lunch. Worth a try, but go in with low expectations and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    Dear Green Dot, please move to my city ASAP! Love, me. ;-) This place is founded by a young couple who are passionate about food and creating a unique dining experience. One bite into those sliders confirms their dedication. Overall, I enjoyed the food and drinks tremendously! Pros: - The sliders and food. The sliders and food. The sliders and food. Tiny and mighty sliders bursting with flavor! The menu also accommodates for vegetarians. Has a neat rotation of soups and salads. It is made to order, so be prepared for a wait. - Affordable drinks. Nice selection of good quality beers for fair prices! - Friendly service and unique ambiance - Ample parking all around! - Prices are fair - though sliders are small, their quality is top notch! Cons: - Ofcourse every body is addicted to this place, so its jam packed even during non-peak hours! I HEART this place! Nom nom!

    I went here for the first time recently with a buddy. It was pouring outside and packed inside. We scored a place at the bar ahead of the wait list, although note to anyone wondering: if you sit at the bar, you must eat at the bar. It's not, contrary to expectations, a place to drink while you wait. Mi dios, el Carlos! A Johnny Depp character worth watching in action. Mostly, it's sliders. We ordered a whole bunch and ate them like tapas. American tapas, I suppose. Most were good. We got into long talks with surrounding patrons and, of course, con Carlos. We also ordered drinks. I had one that sounded refreshing for summer. It might have even been called Summer -something. My friend had a Mint Julep, to celebrate my spontaneous and quickly tiresome character acting for the night as a hammy Southern Belle. They were both good. Decent price for a true cocktail. Service was attentive and consistent. The whole night, with a few drinks and enough to eat, was like $35 for 2. Bueno.

    The staff was out of their way friendly and helpful. They let is know how long the wait would be and checked in to give us an update. They refilled our drinks several times and checked back frequently to see if we needed anything. The sliders were great, especially the fried chicken. The mac n cheese was ok and the tortilla soup was really good too. They have a wide variety of very skinny fries, perfectly cooked and seasoned a variety of ways. Will definitely go back. The only drawback is the guaranteed wait, but that tells you something too.

    Best sliders I've ever had! This place is great if you want to broaden your pallet. I've heard of Kimchi before and to have had it on a slider with Peanut Butter (Korean Slider) was bizarre but still delicious. What makes this place so great is the variety they carry. They have sliders that kids would eat and others that may not be for the adventurous type. I also loved their location. I'm a huge Red Wings fan and knowing that it's a couple blocks from where I park makes it a great place to dine at before/after the game. If you're worried about how much money to spend, you will not need to worry here. I've seen sliders for $5 but these are $2 or $3 a piece. The quality of these sliders are very good and worth a couple bucks. Don't bother wasting your time at White Castle. Considering how steady they were, it took a while to get our sliders but the service itself was great. The staff was very friendly and always making sure we were happy. I can assure you that little extra time of waiting for a few sliders is worth it.

    Green Dot is known for their sliders and "small plate"-style dishes. Throughout my culinary tasting experiences, I have noticed that in every cuisine there is some form of "small plate" culture: dimsum in Canton, izakaya in Japan, banchan in Korea, chaat in India, tapas in Spain, and sliders in America. With that said, Green Dot serves up some pretty bomb diggity good, reasonably priced food and drinks. This place has a great laid-back, down-to-earth vibe, and is perfect for families, couples, friends, out of towners, young, old, you name it. This place can be poppin' especially on weekends, but it's worth the wait! My friend took me here shortly after landing in Detroit. We can around 8pm on a Sunday night, and it was packed. We waited maybe 30 min tops for a table, and while we waited, we grabbed some pretty strong but good cocktails which were 3$ a piece. By the time we chugged away on our beverages, our table was ready. We ordered various sliders. For myself I ordered the following sliders: Korean kimchi, fried chicken, fried catfish, and the mystery meat of the day (that evening's meat was elk)... as well as a cup of clam chowder and truffle fries. All of the food was super tasty! Loved the variety of tastes and flavors (not to mention fusion of cultures!) of the sliders. My favorite sliders were the fried chicken, which reminded me of chicken and waffles, and the fried catfish, reminded me of a more delicious version of a filet o fish sandwich. The chowder was pretty interesting in that they put sriracha on top, which was a little bit different (but still good) from the Tabasco I usually add to spice my chowder up. Truffle fries were good too -- love the thin fries they use, which when fried get super crispy and absorb all the truffle oil better. During my next visit to Detroit, I know I will want to come back here and try the rest of the sliders. Solid 5 stars!

    Of course this place is good and cheap. Second visit tho I was not as enthralled as the first time. Best things I ate today were the chili cheese fries, wedge salad, and mac n cheese. All 3 fantastic. Notice I didnt list a slider??? We tried a bunch today and not one for me was stand-out. I felt like nothing came out of the kitchen super fresh, and they were put together kind of sloppily. Whaddya want for three bucks??? Prob enjoyed the philly cheese steak one the best. Great place pre- or post-game tho, so im sure we'll be back!

    I'm astounded by the good reviews on this place. It's not good and for as long as we waited Id expect some of the best burgers I've ever had! Thank goodness it's so cheap. I guess you get what you pay for. The server seemed tired and greasy. Ambience was dark. Meh meh meh what a disappointment! Everything was like warm Fat on the fries wasn't melted The cheeseburgers were ok -.- The buffalo chicken was basic with franks, blue cheese, and a scrap of lettuce Quinoa and kale was spit out by my mother LOL The fried chicken was boring even with extra maple. I'm actually at White Castle right now to get a real mini sand

    Funny how Green Dot has gone from my absolute number one place to visit to probably my absolute number nill place to visit in the course of a year or so. What wasn't to love? $3 craft beer drafts and bottles, all food $2 or $3... right up the alley for someone who's indecisive and likes trying a bunch of different things instead of having to commit to one thing I may or may not like. So what's wrong with Green Dot? Hell, that's what I'd like to know. The service just diarrhea'd all over itself pretty suddenly. Waiters and waitresses stopped coming to my table/booth more than once an hour, and after giving us our food followed up almost immediately with a check... what the shit is that about? I know I could look back and say, "Hm. Maybe I was being an ass to him/her..." but I was nothing but courteous every time. Since the place is small, you're gonna have to wait about an hour around dinner time on the weekends. That's alright -- you can stand around at the bar aaaand get nothing but ignored. Nothing makes the night fly by like not being acknowledged! To top it all, a week ago, Green Dot's Facebook page mentioned something about a Bell's event. I commented saying "Venus is the most disappointing beer of the year so far to me :(", and my comment was deleted, and I was blocked from ever replying to any of their posts in the future. Uh, what? Also, while the food seems like a bargain, Green Dot is the only place that I recall where I can spend $40 on a couple beers and food and leave with my stomach rumbling. Alright, I'm done... there's nothing to say that I haven't already. It's a shame because the whole idea of Green Dot is awesome to me and the food's almost all super good, but the "holier than thou" attitudes of everybody associated with the place just has me wanting to wave my middle digit at this place any time I drive by it or see anything affiliated with it.

    This is a pretty neat restaurant. It's not very big, if you are going here for lunch you better go early or be prepared to wait. They have a small bar here as well. The majority of the items on their menu are sliders. They have quite a selection! The server said that most orders 3-4. I only ordered two and it didn't quite fill me up. Lesson learned! I had their pulled pork slider and the Cuban slider. The pulled pork was really good, nice BBQ sauce on the pork as well. The Cuban was ok, not anything I would order again. I also ordered their Cajun fries. Very thin sliced, the Cajun seasoning was really good.

    I LOVE Green Dot Stables and don't even mind waiting to eat here or get takeout (only allowed when they're not crazy busy). A menu where everything is only $2 and $3 dollars makes it easy and fun to try new things...and to get a ton of food. My must eats: BCT, Cheeseburger, MYSTERY MEAT, poutine.

    Awesome place to visit before or after a game. Seems like everything on the menu is $3! Great beers and sliders. Because tables turn over quickly, the wait is never as long as they claim. Try the mystery meat!

    I can't get enough of this place. This is for real! There is nothing these guys can't do. Green Dot Stables would really have to try very very hard to miss by just an inch. Little awesome posh sliders crafted by mad scientists in the back. That would be that room in a restaurant that's called a kitchen. Staple for me here would be the korean. Love everything about it, the whole contrast of flavors is amazing. I save that little slider for last. Plus, they have the mystery meat, which is not a mystery at all, cause when you ask. They tell you exactly what kind of creation it is. Best one I ever had was the Antelope Sausage in chutney. The mystery meat btw changes month to month. This way, there is always something to look forward to when you come here. Mmmmmmmm!!! Drinks as well are very good... they serve beer that's local, they get you drunk,, and they serve cocktails as well. These things also get you drunk. They're delicious, and if you don't like it, there's water that's served in a glass. That will definitely quench your thirst. Also they have tables with chairs around it. Perfect for sitting and eating these amazing sliders. You can even place your drink on the table if you'd like. Anyways, come out here and eat these sliders... it's amazing and it'll definitely punch you in mouth. Yes, it's that good. The glass is always half full! (",) follow me on instagram @rodtorres3

    Bruh... This place is worth all the hype. How they get such diverse and intense flavor in between two tiny buns is amazing. The sliders are small enough that you can easily try 3-4 per person and share bites if you are so inclined. Great selection of beers. They have TVs to watch the game. Would be a great place to watch college football or tigers baseball. Be prepared to wait--they have a heated/cooled waiting room in the back. It's well worth the wait.

    Let's talk sliders and local beer. Lamb - yes Cuban - yes Mystery Meat - yes Founders Centennial - yes Mystery Beer - yes Being from out of town it was a little sketchy getting there especially with a few traffic signals out. But once you get there and you won't be disappointed. Good atmosphere, great food and friendly patrons.

    I was in town for wedding and staying in cork town, my friend comes to pick me up for a night of pre wedding debauchery. After a stop at her place we are off. I'm glad I'm not driving because I'd be totally lost. I didn't live in MI long enough to remember this part of town. Pull up to green dot, and my first impression is okay looks like a dive. We go inside slither into a booth our friends snagged and proceed to get drunk. I ordered a stiff jack and coke. My first sip was a shocker and I knew I had to pace myself. The food was good, although I was a little buzzed and admittedly can't remember exactly what was consumed. Sliders of some sort. It seems like a hipster friendly dive bar. It's cool without trying too hard, comfortable and affordable. The master trifecta, in my opinion. A great place to grab a few and hang out with friends. If it had been warmer I would have loved to sit outside. Maybe next time!?

    This place is very popular and can get very busy, which is well-deserved. The wait can be long, but you can order drinks and wait on the (heated) patio. The $2 and $3 EVERYTHING (burgers, vego burger options, fries, snacks, beers and even cocktails) is addicting, and even after binge-ordering it's difficult to break the bank here. The service is very short, with servers often seeming overwhelmed and understaffed, but not unfriendly. The servers are all extremely knowledgable, and even the bartenders knew the ingredients in just about everything on the menu, but they too can come across as short because of how busy this place can be. The food is phenomenally good, but sometimes the sliders come out looking better than others. Some of them are perfect, others taste great but are pretty wonky and lopsided and falling apart. That's just part of what ordering $2 sliders means, I suppose! Can't wait to go back here again and try even more of the menu!

    My whole family loves this place...while it isn't expressly a place for kids, they love it. The Korean Slider is always my favorite, as well as the chicken. Be prepared for a long wait, but well worth it

  • Kimberly N.

    As people that like to eat at the bar, I love that they reserve bar seats for people eating and not just waiting for a table. I know other people hate this, but I really appreciate this. And I love that they have a special service line for patrons getting drinks before going out to the waiting area, so the patrons aren't standing in btwn people eating and reaching over them. The last time we were there, the bartender was on top of it, redirecting people and super vigilant about diners only sitting in the stools. Loved it. Food is always slower than you'd expect but worth it for such cheap prices. Love that you can try a few items on the menu since everything is in small portions. The kale salad is awesome!

    Not really sure what all the hype was about. We came on a Sunday afternoon and it was very packed- we were looking forward to a great meal. However when our food came, it was very underwhelming. My poutine fries were room temperature, and the fried chicken slider was very thin. Half way through the meal, our waitress took our cups for a refill and never came back with them. The food itself was ok, but nothing that special. It was a surprising disappointment since we've heard great things about the place.

  • Andrew C.

    After hearing the hype for years, I was not left disappointed! As a party of two, I had heard to expect a wait no matter what, so we put our names on the list and headed to the patio bar for a beer. No sooner had we sat down on a picnic table was our name called! Bonus! We ordered 7 sliders in all, and two fries baskets. EVERYTHING was awesome! Waitress was very cheerful and fun. So good was everything, that I issued myself a challenge for the next visit to eat all 22 sliders on my own. Unfortunately, someone had already beaten me to this feat, so I may just have to order everything on the menu! Also, great selection of beer, all $3 or under. (Even quality Polish imports) Worth the hype!

    "as good as it gets" indeed.. I will keep coming! Green dot has a particular feel to it, and if you're not into an oldschool tavern-like atmosphere then this isn't a place for you. This place is very busy but clientele is friendly enough to calm my social anxiety. Staff is friendly and food first class. Top notch adult entertainment

  • Kirsten G.

    Green Dot = A++! Totally worth the usual waits for the most delicious/fun sliders! I think I've tried all of their sliders, and haven't met one that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Not to mention their awesome beer and side (truffle fries AND poutine fries) selections! Prices are fabulous. It's a great Detroit staple to take out of towners!

  • Kyleen K.

    The food was so good that despite having the worst waiter EVER***, I still have to give 3 stars. Seriously, service = 1 star, food = 5 stars. The menu was very innovative, the brew selection very diverse, and everything was under $3. The sliders are true slider size, not small burgers, so you really are able to try an assortment without wanting to go into a food coma afterward. I will definitely give this place another go! But seriously, our waiter was so terrible I don't know if I could return if I had another experience there with someone like him. ***Thin gentleman with beard and glasses and a penchant for disappearing despite a relatively slow afternoon crowd. If you have the misfortune of have him appear before your table like he is being punished, do yourself a favor and request someone else. Seriously, don't ruin your delicious sandwich experience. He told me confidently that one beer on draught was local from the UP, but a quick google and confirmation from another waitress revealed it was actually a pretty widely-distributed (and yucky, sickly sweet, 2.5% abv) Belgian import. He acted very annoyed and inconvenienced when anyone questioned anything or asked for further clarification on the menu. Laziness (I guess?) also goaded him into lying about having certain basic condiments like non-yellow mustard and honey (I can't have ketchup, I explained to him), despite them being featured in several items on the menu. "No. There is yellow mustard and ketchup on the table," he said with a shrug. Then he brought one of our party the wrong fries and a wrong slider. My bottled beer also took 20 minutes to show up, and as I was about to cancel it (we had some kids on the verge of restless at the table) it conveniently showed up with the check. The kicker, however, was when he flat out told our table he could not split our bill into 2 couples. He was positively delightful by that point in the afternoon, anyway. The other staff seemed nice and happy to be there though!

    Everything on the menu is $2-$4. Delicious, fresh, & a twist on classics, so you should dine here whenever anywhere near downtown Detroit. Ample parking. Great decor. Beautiful clean wood floors. Hip friendly staff. $3-$5 cocktails & beers. #Yummy dive

  • Ashley R.

    Yes... Everything they say about this place is the TRUTH. Yes.... It's good... Maybe even GREAT! Yes... It's CHEAP! Yes... It's pretty much always BUSY! (So go there early) This place could be best described as a dive bar. Very dark, lots of green lighting- I feel like I'm in my grandmas basement at times. A great stop prior or possibly after a Detroit sporting event. All the food items are between like 2.00 and 4.00, so you def. won't break the bank. I tried a few different sliders while I was visiting- the regular cheeseburger and the Cuban. I'd say these both are my favorites! Truffle fries are a must, but the pountine knocks it out of the park. One little qualm I had with the place is their hit and miss with the carry out. I guess on days where they are swamped (or so they say) they refuse to put out a carry out order. So hence my 4 out of 5 rating. But def go by and check em out!

    I instantaneously LOVED this place as soon as I saw it. True to its name, the outside looks like a green stable. It's located in the middle of nowhere in Mexicantown/Corktown with its own private lot and plenty of street parking. The plain looking entrance looks like a backdoor, but rest assure it's the front door. There's a "Please wait to be seated" sign as I walked thru the saloon doors and the hostess greeted me right away. I must have come on an off night because the place wasn't crowded at all. I sat at the bar and got great service. There were 22 different sliders to choose from, all of which are $2-$3 each. What's great is that I can try a variety of food instead of having to choose only one or two things. I wanted to try everything on the menu but settled for these (which cost $3 each): Caramel Apple Cocktail - Black velvet caramel whiskey-apple-cider-cinnamon - Pretty good, strong and not too sweet. Kale - Kale mixed with quinoa and red onion. Refreshing and delicious. Truffles Fries - Perfectly spiced and fried. Mac & Cheese - Yum! Kobe Hot Dog (special) - Yum! Mystery Meat (special) - Rainbow trout almondine - Yum! Korean - Who knew beef patty, peanut butter and kimchi can go so well together?!? Bravo! Corned Beef - Yum! Fried Chicken - One of my favorites! Corktown Smore - Yum, but not sure about $3 yum. Ice cream sandwich (new item) - This was pretty good. Blue ice cream between crunchy Mexican crackers. Update - I returned the next night for dinner and tried more sliders. They were a lot busier but I was able to score the last seat the bar without having to wait for a table. They were just as good as I remembered!

    The food was awesome. Drinks were great. All $3. But the service was INCREDIBLE. Called us by name. Everyone was genuine and great at their job. Bartender was an artist, waiter was prompt and personal and the hostess made us glad to wait 40 minutes. Lifelong customers were made tonight!

    Super solid food and drinks. Yes, the wait is long, but if you grab a drink and head outside (assuming you enjoy the person you're with), it will fly by. The guys behind the bar were really friendly and helpful. Also, and most notably, we were shocked when the tab came - the prices are very reasonable. Recommend!

    I asked the gals at the hotel when i checked out, either, where is a good place to eat or their favorite place. They said this place - everything is slider and all the drinks are under $6 I plugged it into my gps and meandered through Detroit, hoping it was actually in the right part of town... The bar/restaurant is all by itself... there is a small parking lot, there is also parking on lafayette and the side street. I entered, through the far door, then through the swinging doors (can you say adorable). The place itself is not huge, but there are a number of interesting seating areas. I was solo so i bellied up to the bar, was greeted by an adorable bar tender. We talked about beer first - there was a nice "mystery" beer from northern Michigan - yeah! Then we talked about the sliders. I went with the corned beer - wow! lovely horseradish sauce - omg! And also the hot brown - cause it seemed the thing to do. (it was ok, but not amazing) And finally - Fluff n nutter! it was warm, and gooie and wowza!! I didn't realize there was a back side - and there were french fried - i went with the popular - truffle - meh. Definitely had food ency when i realized a sunday only thing was poutine.... damn! Too late. Definitely a place i would go to again and again. Probably get a friend to go after dark! If you are down town - stop by, try a slider or two.

    What can I say about Green Dot that hasn't already been said? Great slider joint, cheap prices, service is on par! Just be prepared to wait a bit. In my opinion though, who cares if you wait an hour because you can sit back and drink a Moscow mule for $3 or a domestic for $2. And vegetarians do not be deterred, they have non-meat items such as mac and cheese, salads, PBJ, Grilled cheese, Quinoa burgers and more.

  • Sunny W.

    LOVE this place! Almost everything on the menu (alcohol included) is $3 each!!! If you're showing a tourist friend around, this is a great place to go since it's a local unique flavor, great food, and it won't break your wallet. I've gone here a few times (with friends, coworkers, managers) and none of them have been disappointed. Tips: - Some sliders are a hit or miss so just be forewarned. I've had bad experiences with the fish sliders. - My favorite slider is the Korean slider. - My recommendation for one-person order is: 2 sliders, Truffle Fries, Clam Chowder, and Smores (dessert). That's 5 items so $15 total. $18 if you add a drink. - It's packed but wait isn't too bad. During peak dinner hours, I've seen the wait go for ~ 20 to 30 min, and there's a big patio outside to sit and wait. - Sliders are the highlight but you can form a non-slider meal as well (soup, salads available).

    Everyone loves Green Dot Stables! Here are the best things they have: -All the fries. They're crispy shoestring fries and they're just perfect. -Grilled cheese. So good. -PB&J. A MUST for me every time I come here. The chipotle raspberry jelly is so good! -Wedge salad. Tasty and cheap. -Clam chowder. I hate Sriracha so was nervous about it being drizzled on top, but oh man does it ever work. So delicious.

    Activate: food coma. Unique place, in the sense that I guess I wasn't expecting an actual stable-like venue; considering the fact it's located in the middle of Detroit. I visited GDS in December of 2014 (from Arizona), and nearly had a panic attack when the hostess escorted my friends and I to a seemingly outdoor waiting area. False alarm, however, as the waiting area turned out to be an enclosed, yet open heating space. (Not to mention we didn't have to wait very long to be seated + you can order alcohol while waiting.) Nevertheless, I would recommend Green Dot to anyone. They're a slider-based establishment, which made me nervous at first -- Catfish slider?! -- but the nerves didn't last long. My stomach knew no limits that evening: corned beef, catfish, pulled pork, and coney dog sliders fell victim to me. Complemented by the truffle fries, and I nearly had to crawl out the place.

    The service was very nice and the atmosphere, though empty on a Sunday during a snow storm, was a welcoming place. I'm sure on a weeknight it would be a fun place to be. Food is subpar and nothing to rave about. My husband and I ordered: the korean, catfish, PBJ, mystery meat, buffalo chicken, Philly and something else. First off, please someone tell me why peanut butter and kimchee together is tasty or korean? Please green dot, do asians a favor and take it out. The kimchee can stand on its own. Mystery meat was beef tongue and tasted like mushy flavorless boiled meat. It's only saving point was the pickled carrots on it. The rest of the sliders were mediocre enough that I have no qualms with them. Lastly, the dessert smore slider and . That was actually tasty. I'd go back just for that and the atmosohere. I don't mean to be rude or mean. Just trying to put the quality of food into perspective. Green dot let me know if you'd like suggestions on an asian slider, I've got some great ideas.

  • Leo Y.

    This was a neat little place. They have an impressive beer/cocktail selection, including staples such as ginger beer to make Russian Mule, and related drinks. What's even more impressive, is that the drinks are $3 each. The selection of sliders was even more impressive. While I didn't find any individual sliders to be out of this world, the fact that I had 12 different sliders, and they were all really different, with none of them being bad, is impressive in and of itself. My favorite was the s'mores slider, but that's because I love nutella and smores. With the sliders costing just a $3 each, and the special meat slider changing regularly, this is a place worth visiting for a beverage of choice, with an accompanying bites to enable you to drink even more.

  • Ryan L.

    We went with a large group and had to wait awhile as it is pretty small place but the atmosphere is decent and we had a few drinks while we waited. It was a nice selection of craft beers. The Tempeh, Mystery meat and bologna sliders were very good. The Vegetarian items actually had more flavor than the burgers. The service was not as bad as some reviews. The waiter was friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back .

    I gave this place another chance (I've been back 3 times so far) and when it's not busy or under-staffed the food comes out fairly quickly for the most part. I upgraded the rating to 3 stars due to the fact that they've been pretty consistent with their customer service the past few times I went. The fries are always good so long as their fresh.

    Went here yesterday spontaneously with one of my girlfriends after a stop at the eastern market. She raved how good it was. She also warned that there is usually a wait. Well when we got there there was no wait. We were seated right away. Which, ask anyone, is always a nice thing. I recently have made an effort not to eat red meat- so I was very appreciative that there were options that were not burger. There was a tuna option, chicken, black bean and more. I had one black bean burger and two BBQ chicken sliders. The BBQ ones were hot but so so good. When I go back those are the ones I'll be getting. When I ordered the black bean I ordered it without the avocado sour cream- I'm lactose intolerant. My waiter warned me that without it the burger wouldn't have much flavor. I ordered it anyways. Sadly he was right. But I have a feeling if it had had the sour cream it would have been good. Lastly, the fries were also good too. Overall I paid $12 plus tip for three sliders and fries.

    Interesting decor, above average service, and great value. I liked the variety on the menu and enjoyed most of the sliders. Nothing was spectacular, but nothing was subpar either. Its worth trying if you are in the area, but dont go out of your way to check it out.

  • Mike D.

    WOW!!! We visited on a Saturday around 2:15pm. Took about 45 min to be seated and another 45 min or so to get our food. Service was pretty good. Our waitress mIght of had a few to many tables but still the service was good. Extremely nice people. Now let's get to the good stuff, the food. Well holly cow was it good!!! My wife and I tried 7 different sliders and I wasn't disappointed in any of them. My personal favorite was the Cuban!!! A great blend of flavors. My wife loved the Korean. Who knew that peanut butter worked so well on a slider. The cornbreef was a close second for me. Everything is very fairly priced and I wasn't disappointed in anything we tried. The location is a little off the beaten path but you really need to check this place out. If you are going in the winter be sure to bring your jacket. Waiting area is a heated outdoor porch. It was comfortable for the first half of our wait but it did get a little chilly for the second half of our wait. I'm hoping that the waiting area becomes seating in the summer.

  • K S.

    Excellent! My husband and I had the truffle fries, 2 cheeseburger sliders, a Korean slider, buffalo chicken slider, a Cuban slider, and a fried bologna slider. Plus two mixed drinks and a sprite for $27! The sliders were amazing- especially the cheeseburger and buffalo chicken. We cannot wait to go back.

  • Binnan O.

    Ambiance: We came here on a saturday for lunch. The place was so busy we were ushered to a tented patio area in the back of the restaurant and waited 30 minutes before being seated. You can get drinks at the bar for ~$3 to help with the wait. I got a rum spritzer which was a touch on the watery side but that's fine. We got seated and probably waited another 40 minutes to get the 10 sliders + poutine we ordered. Food: Given the sheer number of reviews I will keep this one brief. The sliders are what you would expect size-wise with a fairly neutral soft bun that protects your hands as you devour them. The most amazing thing about Green Dot Stables is their ability to 'nail' flavors. If you have never had a philly cheesesteak, chimichurri, or a cuban in your life, you can order the slider-version and say to yourself THAT is what it is supposed to taste like (the poutine too). I was blown away by the execution of almost all the sliders, the only one I did not enjoy was the korean one because the peanut-butter completely over-powered the kimchi. The fried chicken was also a bit odd as it was a perfectly tooked chicken tender covered with maple syrup but it worked. I would highly recommend the Cuban, Corned beef, and Philly. Would gladly come here again (time-willing) as this place certainly deserves its high rating.

    I love Green Dot. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I honestly cannot say enough good things about it. Everything I've ever had there has been amazing. Not to mention you can eat here for cheap! You can have a couple sliders, and a few cocktails for about $20 bucks. I will say though that there is always a wait but it never takes too long, and is totally worth it. They have a really nice patio out back to wait in and its heated in the winter months which is awesome. Out of all the amazing restaurants in Detroit I find myself coming here the most.

  • Chris J.

    While not situated in a great part of Detroit, Green Dot Stables is very much worth venturing to. Forget what you think you know about sliders as they have concocted twenty one amazing mini meals in small buns! We tried half of their slider menu, and we loved them. Very imaginative, fun, and well executed. Some recommendations Fried chicken was amazing Hot Brown, Korean, Cuba and Philly were very good Try all of their fries if you can, they are all good.

  • Harleen K.

    Came here on a Wednesday evening in a party of three and still had to wait 45 minutes to get seated. We grabbed a few drinks and waited on one of the many picnic benches outside the restaurant. The whole menu is sliders and fries averaging about $3 per item. I think most people average between 3-6 orders each. I had the mystery meat and Korean sliders in addition to the fries and I enjoyed everything. The ambiance is that of a casual bar, comfy and cozy. It's pretty lively with a steady stream of people constantly flowing through. The waiter was pretty nice, but due to the crowd, we really didn't see him much. I agree with other reviewers that the service is very slow which is why I dropped the rating to 3 stars.

  • Amanda D.

    I think this place is a bit over-rated. Let me start with the good first. They have an outdoor bar area while you wait, and you likely will wait for this place. They have REALLY CHEAP good beers, so that might be worth coming for. The place is pretty small on the inside, and I wish they would open up their patio area outside for food because it takes a while to get a table (especially when we went on a Saturday night). Our service was fast, and they seemed to be in a rush to get people in and out. Now onto the food. Their thing is sliders, so you can pretty much get sliders, fries, and that's about it. There are a lot of sliders options, and so I sampled at least 3 from the menu. All of them were... okay.. but I would say nothing too spectacular. They were fine, but given the long wait and rushed atmosphere, I was kind of under-whelmed. The shoe-string fries I must admit were pretty good (we got the truffle fries and the cheese fries), which sharing those 2 fries with three people was a good amount. Overall, a fine burgers and beer place, but not much to write home about.

    Yelp marks this place "good for kids." I can't imagine why. Perhaps lunch is different from dinner - we went for dinner - but it was cramped, dark, and each order of sliders (we ended up ordering two sets, since the kids didn't really understand what a slider was!) took about an hour to get from the grill to the table. There is a vast, open area with plenty of tables outside - which seems like it will be a great place for the kids to run around - until you discover that they only serve inside the cramped, dark, slow-service main room. The outside is for waiting, which can take hours given the popularity of this place and the small dining room. As for the food, it's okay - a bit better than average for this part of Detroit, but not that great in the grand scheme of things. The sliders are pretty creative - like a lamb slider with hummus or a deep-fried bologna slider - but nothing particularly delicious, which was a disappointment. They have a fair variety of sides too - including small cups of soup and fries (the truffle oil and herb fries were tasty!), which prevents this from being a complete bomb for me. But whoever marked this place kid-friendly is a nothing more than a bald-faced liar.

    This place was amazing, i loved all the sliders, whenever i am in Detroit i will definitely stop in. Always a wait but worth the wait. We went on a sat night 10 min before closing, no wait:) Great service.

    Yummy sliders and cheap drinks but than you get the quantity according to the price. Sometimes the waiting is long in the evenings. Good ambiance and worth the visit.

    I realize there are a million reviews here already, so I'll keep it short. The sliders are great, the servers are generally fast and willing to help, the cocktail prices are fantastic. The parking sucks, the wait sucks, the number of families sucks. Unless you're going at a REALLY off time, you're going to have to wait.

    This place looked very enticing. The long wait had me wondering that this is going to be one memorable visit. Well, except the visit wasn't too impressed. The format is really creative. But the food i will call as above average and not blow your mind away, wait 40 minutes for getting a table kind of level. The staff was courteous and served with a smile. Might give another try..

    I've been here a few times so this time I tried the philly steak slider and the lamb with truffle fries. I've tried mostly all the sliders and theses were so delicious . Let me tell you this place never disappoints me with good food and fast and good service.

    Great and unique place for sliders, a must try when in Detroit. Place is full, the wait for us was 45 min, and was quickly increasing as the night went on. Prices are $2 to $3 each. Trendy place, lots of college student hipsters there. Fries are $2 to $3 as well. Cool ambiance. Be sure to order enough the first time, ordering additional food could take another 20 minutes.

    There can be a long wait time, usually due to the time of day you arrive, and the events happening in the city. However, the staff is top notch, and their attitudes in many ways reflect the atmosphere of the place. Everyone has a smile and a good rapport with the customers. The porch could be a little warmer during the coldest winter Michigan days, but if you've got your typical winter season clothing you should be fine. Order a couple drinks and enjoy your time with friends/family. Great drink prices/selection, good food, 10/10 would patronize, and do on a regular basis.

    This has to be one of the best places I've been to eat in a long long time. Our server was extremely knowledgeable on the entire menu. It helped that she was also probably one of the best servers I've had. She had a positive and friendly attitude. She went above and beyond to be friendly and chat with us. The quinoa burger was just perfect. I also ordered a kale salad with quinoa and lemon. The kale was extremely fresh and delicous. The mac and cheese was not to cheesy but just the right amount. Not the mention they have an awesome selection of cheap drinks. A cocktail with grey goose only runs you 5 dollars. I ordered a few miller lites but most domestic bottles were only 2 dollars. Drafts also only 3-4 dollars. I will go back here all summer long! Especially after tigers games in the summer! Everyone should give Green dot a try!

    I love their sliders and poutine so much that I made friends and family bring me Green Dot goodies after I had woken up from a coma that I was in for 2 months at DMC, no joke. Ate here on Halloween and they had interesting mystery meat choices. Highly recommended.

    I'm not a huge fan and I don't understand why this place gets so much hype. I can see it being a fun night out destination, but after you get the gist of it I wouldn't call any of these sliders "crave worthy". But I guess the cheap prices bring people back for the same thing over and over again.....The place gets packed too and I was just uncomfortable all around, the bar was full but I managed to get a couple mint juleps for my wife and I and they tasted really watered down in my opinion.... sort of reminded me of a bad "all inclusive resort drink before you make it known that your a good tipper". I'm the type thay would rather pay $8 for a seriously good drink and just have one. 2.5/5 for food but the cheep beer is worth a bump up, I guess, depends on how important beer is to you. Funny how it's so cheap that you end up ordering $40 worth of mediocre food. Pfft, I rather have Greene's over Green Dot any day.

    You had me at $3 cocktails. My friends and I decided to check Green Dot Stables out based on the Yelp reviews and we were not steered wrong! The place was hopping at 7:30 on a Sunday night, and the menu featured nothing above $3. A variety of sliders, bottles and cocktails all for less than you'd pay for McDonalds! My friends and I had 3 cocktails, a soda and 2 orders of truffle-herb fries, and the bill was $22. I was concerned that the quality would be reflective of the price, but the drinks were strong, creative and well-balanced. We tried the quinoa sliders and the BCT (bacon, cucumber and tomato). Both are highly recommended. I think this spot, hidden away in a dark, mostly-residential area within eyeshot of the Ambassador Bridge, will become a new favorite hangout.

    The perfect place for the indecisive. Ever looked at several menu items and wanted to try them all? This is the place for you! With plenty of unique combinations for sliders, the sliders are cheap allowing you to get a couple bites out of whichever combo you want to try without having to feel guilty about the prices. Amongst my favorites were the Kimchi and Chicken and Waffle variations. I was able to try several. For dessert, I definitely had the sweet delicacy of the s'more slider! And I'd recommend trying out the fries too! With all that being said, the little sliders are super mini. Sliders are already pretty mini sized, so expect MINI minis. Even though I had so many sliders and spent over $30, I left feeling...hungry? But you know what, despite all that, this is a great option that stays open late at night when I want anything but fast food. I'm a fan!

  • Stefanie D.

    Definitely get the Korean slider. Perfect combination of kimchi and peanut butter with beef. It's like heaven in your mouth. Venison chili cheese fries are to die for. Truffle herb fries are addicting. When you nonchalantly eat them and they're suddenly gone, you know it's good. The tempeh burger was so so...but then again, nothing compares to the tempeh from the Brinery so I may be a bit biased. Always always always get the mystery meat. The first time I went it was crab cakes. I should have gotten it then. The second time, it was tuna. I made sure to get it and it was totally worth it. Can't go wrong with tuna + sriracha. Each item is the perfectly sized portion. My jaw dropped when we received the bill. It was just over $28 for 3 people! We each had 3 items. I was in shock! Delicious drinks and delicious food and it was such a great deal! Parking is limited.

  • Joe H.

    The sliders are flavorful and innovative. The fries are great and the drinks amazing. The atmosphere is fun and enjoyable. But, there is just something about this place that won't let me give it that fifth star. I think it's the fact that this place isn't near anything. This place would definitely get five stars if it was closer to Campus Martius area or in corktown but it is really close to nothing.

  • Naomi D.

    Best burger ever! The grilled cheese is some kind of magic! It is so good! The fried chicken is really good too. Get like 3 or 4 burgers and the truffle fries and you are set! All the burgers are unique and it's cool to try them.

    Ok, so I'm a little disappointed of my Mother's Day experience here. We were seated right away, which I was not expecting, but totally came at the right time I guess. We arrived at 3:15pm, sat down in a booth away from the door, ordered drinks, received our drinks, and ordered our food. Now here is the upsetting part - all of that took place before 4pm, however we didn't get our food until almost 4:45! And we didn't even get all of it. My son's pb&j came about 5 minutes later. The food is still delicious, the truffle fries I crave on a daily basis, and I love businesses that bring back the goodness of the D, but how upsetting to get such slow service on a special day :-(

  • Robert K.

    After hearing all the hype behind Green Dot, we had to try it, and I am happy to say it lives up to the hype and far more. The sliders are unique, delicious, and very very nicely priced. I couldn't believe how cheap they were. This place is very busy and we had to wait a bit before we could scoop up a spot at the bar, despite the complete chaos going on behind the bar, the bartenders were incredibly friendly and attentive. We never had to wait for another drink. I have never seen bartenders so on top of their game. Hands down best sliders in Michigan. You absolutely have to try this place.

    (5)

  • Nat Z.

    I enjoy Green Dot for drinks, since you can get a variety of cheap cocktails (palatable and $3). But the claims of affordability and cheapness as far as the food are at odds with the fact that you don't really get much food for a $3-4 slider and, for the relatively low quality of the product (e.g. your standard, golden-brown enriched bleached wheat flour bun), for food, you'd be better off going somewhere else and enjoying the economy of scale of, say, an $8-12 plate. Plus, there's always a line. I can take it or leave it, generally, but it can be a fun place.

  • Lynn B.

    The food did not disappoint. Great sliders and fries. Tons of variety and everything is $2-$3 so you can try a lot. We asked the waitress how many we should get and her recommendations. She was right on with both. The beer selection is good, and again $3 and under, hard to beat that. The only thing I'd say is that we thought it was more of a family place from reviews, but we had the only kid there. They were very accommodating and nice, we just felt a little out of place with the rest of the crowd.

    Fun, casual atmosphere! We sat at the bar & ordered two rounds of various sliders & fries. If you like lots of small bites & beer this is a great stop to make in Detroit, its more tapas than dinner. Don't be in a hurry...seating and being served takes a bit... but its a fun wait? The servers were all cheerful & helpful! Plenty of parking in the area.

    Went to green dot yesterday everything was good I got the tempeh slider and the black bean slider veganized of course it was all so good only thing I have to say is the service wasn't on top and the wait for food was almost an hour I almost say eat something before you go I no its not necessarily the waiters fault or restaurants I just think they are such a small restaurant they filled up so fast and also needs more staff but they would need a bigger restaurant of course all and all waitstaff was very friendly ! So I give four stars because everything was fine but the stuff that to me wasn't there fault. But for that green dot just get a bigger place lol

    This place was amazing. $3 everything? And made with fresh, local, quality ingredients that are delicious? Um, yes please. Honestly, this place is brilliant. They do not take reservations or seat the party without everyone being there, so get there together so you can get to work on those amazing sliders and the beer selection. I had the mystery meat, buffalo chicken, and grilled cheese sliders. Oh, and the truffle and herb fries...to die for. We kept ordering more. All I can say is WHOA. Get your booties over to this place.

    Today was my third visit to Green Dot. As always the food was delicious... However, this meal had a few hiccups. The restaurant was 80% full when we were sat. But, after approx. 10 minutes, still no server had approached us. I finally asked the bartender and a server came to grab our drink order. A second server, Damian B (our server) came to take our food order. When our food arrived, my husband was missing 2 catfish sliders, which eventually arrived toward the end of our meal. Damian never checked back with us, so I got up to ask the bartender for refills on our root beer and grab a salt shaker. When he finally saw me waiting at the bar for refills, he hurriedly approached and said he would get them. I took that opportunity to order one each of the dessert sliders (S'more and Fluffer Nutter)- FANTASTIC save room!! As I said previously, the food was/is fantastic. **If this had been my first visit here, I'm sure the service would prevent me from returning.

    What place can you go to for sliders and dive bar drink prices in the city: Green Dot Stables! There have been many times that I have left because of the long wait to be seated:( On one cold winter evening while U of M battled Syracuse in the tourney, we found a lonely table to finally try the talked about mini burgers. The slider menu is reasonably priced and you definitely can get full. For $10 you can eat a couple sliders and Parmesan fries (yum!!!). They offer beef, vegan and vegetarian options. My favorite was the hot brown (chicken, mornay sauce and bacon) and the traditional cheeseburger. Pairing these tasty treats is the perfectly seasoned truffle and herb fries. I don't know what is in the seasoning, but they are good enough to eat without ketchup (a plus). Drinks are inexpensive and there are plenty of tv's to watch a game on. The atmosphere is laid back and the staff is attentive. If you can get there early enough to get a seat then you are in for a decent meal with friends.

    Loved the sliders idea... who would've thought. Detroit's a great place! I really didn't know what to expect when I was outside... being a foreigner and having lived in nicer places in the US, the surrounding neighbourhood looked like some place where bad things happened... and the restaurant didn't give me the idea of great food. But was I wrong. Inside, it was a nice homely place which reminded me of a neighbourhood pub crossed over with a sports bar (both good in my opinion), and the items on the menu given the impression of some nice ideas. I had most of the items on the menu (and several local Michigan beers) and let's just say that all were great, and greatly lifted my opinion of the city!

    Green Dot Stables is awesome. Even though it's usually packed and there's a wait for tables, they have a great outdoor area that you can wait and have a drink. Speaking of drinks, they have a great beer selection with both local and exotic craft beers. They have so many good things that I don't know where to start. My favorite sliders are the quinoa burger (with something fancy on it that resembles pesto), grilled cheese, and tempeh slider. My husband prefers the meatier options and likes the hot brown, Philly cheese steak and the fried bologna (yes, really!). However, he felt pressured that I only let him pick his top three. They are all amazing. I regularly drool whenever I think about their truffle fries. They are amazing. The hubby also likes those but sometimes switches it up and gets the venison chili fries. The service can be a little slow at times but it is because they are pushing out so many awesome sliders. The prices are ridiculously low so you can get a number of sliders and sides. We had their cucumber salad a few weeks ago and it was very different and yummy. Their Corktown Smore is very simple but still amazing. Of course, most things with Nutella are amazing. Also, truffle fries. Yes, I said it again. They also sell some cute Green Dot Stables t-shirts and other things.

    200+ reviews! Do I even bother/dare?! Sure, what the hell... ... I visited on a Wed evening & ordered a buffalo chicken slider, a hot brown (minus bacon), kale salad and gin promise. Although the food was good, I wouldn't say there was anything particularly special about what I ordered per se. I sampled my friend's Mac and cheese (Parmesan & mornay), which was remarkable. It had a baked taste, but I'm not sure if it was... Our server was very cool. Cool enough to let us know it wouldn't be wise to taste the mystery cocktail ;-) It was packed, but not crowded although the interior is somewhat small. Service was timely. Very casual atmosphere: dim + cozy, but not too dark and not @ all rowdy despite the full house. ...must add that I am slightly ashamed that as a native of Detroit I never knew this place existed although it has been here practically forever (well before me;-) it is definitely worth trying again... Also, there is a private adjacent lot for parking (always my concern:-)

    A little overhyped, but still solid. Went with three "sliders" and fries ($11 total). Satisfied, but probably not quite enough food i.e. should have gotten one more... taking into consideration I was very hungry when I arrived. The Fried Chicken ($3) with maple syrup was outstanding and worth the visit alone. The fish was good, but nothing to write home about. The grilled cheese I don't recommend. Truffle and herb fries were delicious. Lunchtime on a rainy Friday and it was packed with a line at noon. Luckily we arrived at 11:45 am and were seated at one of the last open tables.

    I've written some negative reviews lately, so how about a little palate cleanse with a place I love? This is the place you can take people from the suburbs who are afraid of Detroit despite having lived within 30 miles of it for oh, their entire lives. They probably already know about Slow's but have never heard of Green Dot, so you can say, "Look, Detroit has many good, cheap, fun things!" Yes, it can be crowded at times. And sometimes full of hipsters. The venison chili cheese fries are worth the trouble, my friends.

    Green Dot Stables is a must if you visit Detroit. It's stable-like atmosphere with wood paneling and saloon doors is a cute touch for a restaurant based on the horses. But, it's not about the atmosphere. For this gastro pub, it's all about the food. Green Dot specializes in gourmet sliders - tiny burgers and sandwiches that are big on flavor. Their menu ranges from simple burgers and ham and cheese sandwiches to cornmeal-breaded catfish and beef with peanut butter kimchi. Their truffle and herb fries are scrumptious, & their Mystery Meat slider changes often to give you innovative takes on new foods like elk (yesterday's surprise). Vegetarians, have no fear! There are plenty of herbivore options for you as well. There is not, however, a gluten free bun option. But, you can get the sliders sans-bun, & they're still amazing. The menu is so very inexpensive that this restaurant satisfies your palate as well as your wallet. With everything on the menu under $3 (except full bottles of wine), you can get a ton of food and try it all! The only downside to Green Dot Stables (aside from no gluten-free buns) is that it is too amazing for its own good. The restaurant is tiny, & aside from the patio outside which does not allow food, there is no standing room. Wait time on a weekend or a DCFC game day can be atrocious, & no reservations are honored. In fact, you can not even be seated unless your whole party is there. So, if Karen is running late because she couldn't decide on shoes, you are in for a longer wait than usual as you watch other parties get your table. The wait is worth it for a chance to try Green Dot's amazing food & drink for such a cheap bill. Get there early, be patient, & know that, once you finally get a seat, you won't be disappointed.

    Eh, I was expecting more but I got...eh. More like 3.5/5 stars GDS is def a dive bar and its def affordable as everything is $3 (sliders, drinks, desserts) with a few add on options like $1 more for bacon and egg. But you can't substitute items. There's lots of options for vegetarians, vegans, and flexitarians alike. 3 sliders/person + side is perfect. The deal breaker were the slider buns. It was more like a hot dog bun cut in half to make two sliders. I was hoping for Kings Hawaiian bread. These are untoasted and well, basically a vessel to hold the star of the show (what's inside). I went vegetarian & got the black bean, tempeh, and quinoa patty. I think the winner with these sliders are the condiment additions. Black bean patty was dry and flavorless (and doesn't look appealing as it's mashed black beans) but the avocado sour cream was guacamole and helped with the dryness. Tempeh was well, tempeh texture (for those of you who've had it, you know what I'm talking about. For those carnivores who haven't, its like cooking black beans and not cooking it all the way through and its still sorta hard but soft). This was my least fave and honestly, I would've used tofu and marinaded it as tofu is like a sponge and absorbs everything. The seaweed condiment wasn't anything special. Super bright green (hello food coloring!) and no hint sesame oil. Looked like the big tub of seaweed salad you can buy from Costco. Lastly, the quinoa patty again is lacking in flavor (and fell apart) but the kale chimichurri was a winner. I love chimichurri and using kale instead of cilantro is creative. Being flexitarian, I did try a bite of each of my fiance's sliders: fried chicken, Cuban, BBQ bacon. The panko fried chicken was like chicken tonkatsu and not overly fried, the Cuban was like eating a ham & cheese sandwich and BBQ sauce wasn't overly vinagar-y on the burger. The winner was the truffle fries. We should've ordered 2! Better than Mercury Bar b/c of the skinny fries. Oh, we went at 1pm on Saturday and it wasn't busy. I'd try it again as its menu is unique. But this makes me wanna try Ronin's sliders even more!

    REALLY cool place that's kind of in the middle of nowhere Detroit. There is a dedicated parking lot which is nice. The restaurant reminds me of spots in Wisco, and is somewhere that a Chicago entrepreneur is sure to soon copy. It's definitely a place to bring friends! I have been twice and love it! The first time the special was the buffalo burger which was so tasty. This time the mystery burger was wild boar... YUM!! They have sliders, side dishes (skip the orzo, get the truffle fries) and RIDICULOUSLY cheap drinks. Mixed drinks including my favorite-- the Moscow Mule-- are ONLY $3!!! And beers are $2 or $3!! The waitress knew a TON about the beer menu which featured a lot of unique labels! I love this place, and it is one of the best "gems" I have found so far in my one year of life in Michigan!

    Wow! I've been here once before and this place still meets my expectations for great food. I came here with a few guys and we got our table pretty quickly despite it being a pretty big crowd for a Sunday evening. We ordered the clam chowder to start and it was pretty delicious. You could definitely taste the bacon and the sriracha added a great kick without overpowering the soup. In all, we ordered the Brown Tom, Philly Cheesesteak, Fried Chicken, Bacon BBQ, and the Korean sliders. They were all amazing - great amount of food for the 3$ you pay for each slider. I personally got the Brown Tom and Bacon BBQ and was pleasantly surprised at how much bacon there was. We also ordered the truffle fries and the Vermont poutine (offered only on Sundays I think). Both were great and the sausage gravy on the poutine was spot on. One of the guys ended with the s'mores slider and added bacon to that. He scarfed that down quickly. Overall the food was great. Service was okay - we never got our waters refilled but the food came quickly.

    Cool place. Great prices. Treated all my "boys" [1 3-year old and 3 bottomless pit stomach, 6ft plus teenagers] to Green Dot last month. There was a little something for everyone. The kids got a kick out of trying to figure out what each wanted to "taste test". Personally, I had the herb/truffle fries (great esp. for the value), along with the Korean slide (sounded too ridiculous to be good... but it is), the Lamb (basic, but I like lamb so I was good), a chicken one with maple syrup on it (really good). The youngest boy liked it since they were more "his size" and the older kids liked it because they could be a little more "adventurous" without committing to something they weren't sure if they liked. Drink prices were insanely cheap. Cool place. I have to admit it's high ratings had my expectations a lot higher, but realistically I had a great meal and while no fireworks flew out of my booty... I'm totally ok with that. It seemed kind of small, and whenever the doors would open on either side we'd get a pretty cold rush of air... but that's about the only thing I can find to bitch about here. I'd be back if it fit my needs more often and I highly recommend you check it out.

    I enjoyed a lot at this place. I was there with 6 of my friends at a regular Thursday night. We were told that the wait would be 30-45 minutes, but it only took around 15 mins to get our table. We spent some times at the bar. I was impressed by their drinks, the price is also very reasonable. I like the size of each entry, small enough that you can try lots other different flavors. My favorite is the Kimchi and peanut butter, very interesting combination. The meat is very tasty.

    Cool place for lunch. Two biker buddy's and I drove down this last Saturday for a bit and a beer just one beer only. first time for me and Bob but Hooker has been bragging about this place for months. So this Saturday was the day. We pulled up and walk in for a 20 min wait on Saturday. Yea really!! but that is a good sign. So as we watch all the food float but we got to read the menu and sniff the air. I order a Country Chicken (Very good), Cheese burger (so so) and a really tasty Corn beef. So if your down town "check it" fun and simple. Price is OK too.

    Got drinks and ate here Saturday. We arrived around 3PM. The place was already busy (Good sign, right?) and we had to wait on the heated and covered patio. Our table was ready before we finished our first bottles of beer. I had cheeseburger, lamb and mistery meat (sword fish) sliders with truffle fries. The lamb slider and truffle fries falavors are outstanding and prices are great! I want to go back again to try out many other sliders! Just a little bit of waiting was so worth it.

  • Kelly K.

    First of all: free parking! YES. The downer is that the lot is usually full so you'll have to park on a side street. Okay, sure. This place feels like it's in the middle of nowhere but if you head east on Lafayette for about five minutes you'll hit downtown. Anyway, you'll have to wait (as if the full parking lot didn't tip you off already!). They have an outdoor patio area with a bar that's great for people watching. When you get inside, the seating area can get kind of congested and hard to maneuver if you have to get up to use the restroom. So anyway, I'm sure everyone knows by now that this place serves all varieties of sliders, and each one is $2 or $3. I had the Korean one and the tempeh one. The tempeh one didn't have much in the way of flavor. If you're like me and somehow attract food to your clothing, be aware that the mayo gets really drippy. The Korean one was better and I get that they were trying to add a peanut sauce flavor to it with the peanut butter but it just tasted like...peanut butter on a burger. Not that I'm against this, but it wasn't what I was expecting. The BEST thing was not a slider, though - it was the truffle and herb fries. OH MY GOD. These were nearly perfect - my one tiny beef (pun intended) was that they use shoestring fries and I prefer a thicker fry, but it's potatoes all the same, right? I would definitely come back when I have time and patience to wait because I'm not done exploring the menu!

    I can't say enough about this place. Was recommended by a friend and try to go back as often as possible and introduce new people to it. First of all, the prices are amazing. Everything is $2-3. I mean come on! They recommend getting a few sliders. I always get the tempeh (delish!!!), qunioa salad and truffle tries (a must get). The specialty cocktails are too good to be true too. I always get the Zug Island Iced Tea and definitely recommend it. Next time you are in town for a baseball game, concert, whatever, check this place out!! Ps if there is a wait, it won't be long. Hang out because it's worth it!

    Amazing! Went there with my husband after work Friday at about 4pm. It is first come seating but there was a table ready to sit so no wait for us. The service is great they are fast and attentive. Any waiter will stop to help even if they are not in your section which was nice. Also they are kind. The food well we had 6 different sliders as well as truffle fry. The fry's were amazing you are not overpowered with oil its nice. The sliders were great too I recommend the smores slider with bacon added its just amazing. The mixed drinks are great as well and the beer is tasty. The best slider I had was corned beef because you can really taste the horseradish on there. My husband loved the chicken and syrup on looked good just not my style. This place is a must go!

    LOOOOOOVE IT. The sliders are DELICIOUS!!!! I love the cheeseburger sliders but my all-time fav is the fried chicken slider!!!!. They are so good I usually get one of each because I can never decide between the two. I love to ask about the mystery slider however I've never been bold enough to actually try it!!!

    I had been hearing a lot about Green Dot from friends and thought I needed to try this place. I'm a huge burger/slider fan so this was right up my alley. I went on a Sunday night for dinner with friends. We were able to grab drinks at the bar and sit outside while we waited. The wait wasn't long and the Bloody Mary was very good. I loved the plethora of sliders they offer; I didn't know where to even start! I just wish I had more room to try more of them!

    This place has become my go-to pre-concert spot. The sliders and fries are great. The staff is casual but efficient. Their rotating mystery meat and beers are always interesting. I was challenged by one of the waitresses to try the Korean (beef patty, peanut butter, and kimchi). I'm not much of a peanut butter or kimchi fan, but I am glad I tried out it, it was a great combo. Be prepared for a wait on popular times.

    I've heard Green Dot Stables to be a Detroit hipster paradise; that it is, but so much more! I had the best time with wonderful company in an unassuming (and somewhat isolated) location right off of the bridge. The mise en scène (when in French-rooted Detroit, right?) was spot on and included exposed brick, roof shingles, and green light trim. It was a laid back, comfortable experience; in addition, the waitress was bubbly and had great energy. The gourmet sliders are apparently out of this world. The drinks are seriously legit and so reasonable. So urban, so cool, so Detroit!

    Super affordable. Good food, cheap drinks with $3 beer and cocktails selections and a novel slider menu. Very rustic, dark old school decor. This place can get super crowded, so be prepared to wait for a table or be willing to grab a seat at the bar. Kobe beef sliders were the slider of the day when I was there. Great place. I would go again.

    Great stop to go before the Tigers game. So many slider options! They are small you can try all of them lol

  • Chris S.

    They definitely have something right. It may seem like you take a wrong turn on your way down there, but Green Dot shines like a gem amid the bankrupt mess that is Detroit. The place is packed regularly, even Monday night. The food is great. I recommend the "mystery meat" of the day as it's usually the best thing on the menu. I also like their sides, the black bean burger, the gyro burger, the BBQ burger, the Korean burger, and their drinks are priced very well - everything I have tried. Come on down and have a cold one for only $3.

  • Kevin K.

    Unique, innovative, and delicious sliders, tasty cocktails and beer, all at really great prices. Some of our favorites included the catfish, the korean bbq, and the mac and cheese. Fries are awesome as well. Good atmosphere and plentiful parking (on the street). Definitely recommended if you're in the neighborhood

    Nothing special. I came here based on reviews. Great idea but they need to work on their sliders. I also ordered a smore's dessert, served between buns instead of graham crackers. Not impressed. Actually, I was very disappointed bc I waited 45 minutes for a table :P

  • Randy P.

    The Good: I love the selection they have for sliders and the decor is very... "corner bar ish" I would reccomend the Fried Chicken Slider and the Corned Beef. they are two of my favs. You should also check out the Mystery Meat Slider that changes every day, I have had everything from Turkey and gravy to Rabbit with a carrot sauce. The Bad: Its kind of tricky you can walk into this place with the best intentions of spending a few dollars on some sliders ($2-$3ea) next thing you know youve eaten 6-8 of them and your in for $25, lol. It will sneek up on you. The Ugly: Its damn near always packed, it can get kind of loud and the wait staff can be hit or miss. oh and the last part is the Hipsters have claimed this place, beware of beards, knit caps, flannels, horn rimmed glasses & Belt buckles :) SKETCHY PARKING AREA, WATCH YOUR CAR!

  • Katie F.

    The sandwiches are bland. I love the beer selection, but for all the hype I hear of their sliders I was seriously bummed. I didn't really find much I wanted on the menu and I could have made better versions myself at home.

  • Lydia S.

    The day we went it was a double header for the Detroit Tigers so the restaurant was PACKED! We were told that it was going to be an hr wait which was fine because you can go to the bar in the back and have some drinks while you wait ( although the beer choice wasn't that good). When we did get our seats and sliders it was the perfect meal before a game! Love the different options and was very happy with our choices!

  • Maritza U.

    Can I just say, this has got to be one of my TOP FAVORITE restaurants ever! I've been to an array of restaurants, tons. BUT Green Dot Stables, you have a piece of my heart. Your food (and I ate tons of it while visiting) was AMAZING and not just because it was paired with the best priced craft beer. Every slider we tried out was top knotch and the atmosphere was perfect. I can't wait to visit Detroit again!

    Lunch after a long night of drinking at the Bon Jovi concert - we need something good. Something to really sink our teeth into. We need burgers damn it. So my friends took me to Green Dot Stables. First off, loved the big horse on the roof. It helps you know that you are, in fact, at Green Dot Stables. Inside it was small but cozy with seats at the bar, tables, and even some booths. We were seated immediately into a booth. I ordered a Moscow Mule to sip on while perusing the menu. OMG this was a delicious Moscow Mule. So fucking refreshing. The ginger beer is Goya according to the waitress, and it set that drink off. I had another after the first one and was feeling refreshed and slightly back on my buzz. That's always a good thing. As for the sliders, you order each slider a la carte, so you can mix and match. Hells yeah! So I had to decide on 3 instead of just 1. I got the mystery meat slider which was a Mediterranean burger, the Korean burger, and the BCT. They were all delicious. I was in love with the Mediterranean one. Then I tried the Korean - I didn't realize that beef + peanut butter + kimchi would taste so fantastic! Loved this one too. The BCT was also good, but my least favorite of the three, maybe because there was a lot of the roasted tomato sauce and I couldn't get all the mayo scraped off. But stil, cucumber and bacon is delicious so no complaints. I also managed to procure 2 of the same T shirt. It featured my favorite singer of all time. I have a ridiculous crush on him since 5th grade so it only made sense to get 2 of them...one to wear, and one to hang up on my wall. Full 5 stars for this joint. If I lived in Detroit, I'd likely be at Green Dot Stables on the regular. Probably too regularly.

    On a cold winters night, my friend and I laboriously combed the streets of dowtown Detroit for somewhere to park are patooties and get some grub...that's when we saw the light in the distance...and heard the joyful sounds coming from inside...so we jumped on our horses once again and set out for the trek to what was to be...... GREEN DOT STABLES ROCKS!!! No long drawn out story need be told. Good food! Great drinks! Wonderful Atmosphere! Nuff Said! Thank you

  • Fai F.

    I'm a fan of this place ONLY because of the first two tie it all together: The food is unique and good The cocktails are imaginative and cheap Scene-sters dig it The servers can be pretentious hipsters, act like they are doing you a favor. (I'm not talking about you bearded man with glasses!) The decor is shitty "fancy" 70s restaurant, thus the irony It's in the middle of nowhere Detroit (relative if you are only used to Midtown and maybe the Heidelberg Project), but I like it. It's easy to drive to, lots of parking and lots of seats. Ok, I am in love with their potato salad - fingerling potatoes and cauliflower tossed in a vinaigrette with capers, and anchovies. One time the mystery meat was duck - awesome. Lamb and hommous? Boring. Going back? Yes.

    (4)

  • Clay R.

    Wow. Never seen a menu this unique and diverse where everything is $3 or less...including GOOD beer, wine and fancy cocktails. The sliders are delicious, and at $3 a piece, don't be afraid to try something you're on the fence about. They have a mystery meat that changes often. Ours today was Blueberry Elk Sausage and it was amazing. Atmosphere is little loud, but if that's no biggie, this place is the bomb. Im definitely going back and if I lived in Detroit Id become a regular. Quickly. haha

  • Kelly C.

    Best times to go: Weekday nights past 10pm. On the normal weekend nights, the wait can easily go for several hours. If you are cool with standing up and grabbing several drinks then you are fine. This is my usual go to place when friends from out of town come in and want something they can't have back home. So far it's a grand slam with San Fran, DC, Philly, NYC, and Chicago friends that have come in. Always ask about mystery meat of the day. The first time I ever had llama, yak and a couple of other types of game meat was at this place. I love the BCT and gyro sliders and I always order it when I come in. As a Korean, I'm not big on the Korean slider.... peanut butter is considered a specialty item over there.

    (4)

  • Tricia H.

    yummy yum yum. I always over eat here because I just want to keep trying them darn good sliders. The Korean and S'more sliders are my fav. Love the old school feel on the inside. We spent a few moments talking to the owner who was really nice.

    (5)

  • Jennifer T.

    Great variety of sliders to choose from. The mystery meat slider is also very creative and usually very tasty. The Corned Beef slider is a favorite of mine. The mustard aioli is a perfect accompaniment and adds a nice kick. I also love the Gyro, the Cuban and the Buffalo chicken. The dessert sliders are equally delicious. At about $3.00 each you can try a variety but be careful it adds up quickly. The downside...... The service is usually slow and the servers not very attentive. I also wish they had a better selection of wine.

    After coming back to Green Dot Stables for the first time since the last horrific experience I had there, I was surprised to find that a lot of improvement had been made to the workflow that lend to a much better dining experience than before. I've since been back twice, and have not had one problem. I have even tested them, to see if they had changed any of their policies, and found that every single one of the complaints I had in my last review have been addressed. Meaning, they won't make you wait around for a seat if you're waiting for someone, they will seat you promptly and fairly, regardless of optimal seating availability, and they will split a bill on to multiple credit cards if you do the math yourself. I find all of these policies to be acceptable. Much praise to the owners for taking a second look at their business policies and listening to their customers. The food is even better than I remembered before. The mystery meat, which I always try when I'm there, was the best crab cake I've ever had in my life. They also had venison chili fries, a great addition to their already great selection of gourmet fries. I also like that at brunch, instead of doing "bottomless" mimosas, they sell you a bottle of champagne and orange juice for $12. With the way most places water down their botomless mimosas, I felt I was getting more bang for my buck. I don't want to have to drink 16 glasses of OJ splashed with champagne to cure my hangover. I'm glad to also say that I now live a block away, so I will be coming back here often. JUST TAKE MY MONEY!

  • Rebecca C.

    I went here for Valentine's eve dinner. Here's the breakdown: The Good: The food was very good. My date and I tried a variety of sliders (the cuban was my favorite). The mac and cheese was yummy. The prices. Nothing on the menu was over $5, including alcohol. Gotta love that. The decor: It's slightly strange to see a wooden restaurant in the middle of the D, but I liked the decor quite a bit. It was warm and cozy there. The Bad: Nothing, really. I hear there can be quite a wait, but we got there at 7 on a Wednesday evening, and we were seated right away. The waiter messed up our order (I never got my vinegar fries, dangit), but he apologized and made sure the bill was correct. No harm, no foul. The Verdict: I'll definitely be back!

  • Amber M.

    The only reason I refuse to give this place more stars was the level of service I received. I don't know if I came on an off night, but the waitstaff was horribly rude. It took our waiter a good 20-25 minutes before he even came over to take our drink order and that only happened because we asked someone to go get him. Besides that, the food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The poutine is AMAZING!

  • Elizabeth K.

    I finally made it to Green Dot Stables after reading all of the positive reviews, and it was mostly awesome! We showed up at 11pm on a Friday to a packed house and a 20 minute wait - this place is definitely happening. The bar is loosely horse-themed, and has a variety of seating types: booths up against the wall, small and larger tables (for bigger groups), and the best part - bar seating where the bartender's area is sunken in to a lower level with big swivel chairs. Nice! The food has been well-described by others. I will just say - if you like variations on a theme, this is your place. Simply, they have sliders, fries, and some sides. But they have a TON of different slides, from the prosaic to the truly bizarre and with many options things in between. We tried: the lamb slider (YUM), the gyro slider (maybe the best one), the buffalo chicken (grilled), the fried chicken slider (with maple syrup!), and the ham and cheese (melted, which my husband reports was delicious, but I did not try). We also tried two types of fries: venison chili (overpowering, but husband liked it), and poutine, which was awesome. There's also a little side salad, and a white bean and potato salad, both great. Each thing on the menu is $2 or $3. This includes beer. Some mixed drinks might be $4, but that's the highest it goes. It *sounds* super cheap, but trust me - it can add up. One person, if hungry, could easily eat 3 sliders and an order of fries. Be prepared to spend $15-$20 or more if you're drinking. Feel free to order in stages. The food comes out hot and fast, you can always get more if you're still hungry. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!

    In the best Harry Caray voice I can mustar on a Yelp posting..."Hol-y Cow"!!!! What a great, great place from top to bottom. Food is out of this hemisphere. Service is beyond reproach. Magnificent choices...like a tapas bar on steroids or a retro dim sum but made for beer swilling red-necks... in the heart ( I guess in this PC society I can't really rip the dump-hole Detroit is) of a soon to be, "up and coming" neighborhood of the new Detroit. This is a destination that you go to Detroit for. Whether you are a Tigers fan making your way into a Verlander masterpiece or a ratty Packers fan sneaking their way into Ford Field, Green Dot stables stands right there with Slows BBQ, The Old Shillelagh, and American Coney Island as a Detroit masterpiece along the likes of Motown Records and the "bless you boys" 84' tigers team. I can't blame you for not going into downtown Detroit, but if you do, and you don't partake in a little culinary gastro pub crawl between Two James distillery, Slow's bbq, and green dot stables...then my friend, you are a complete moron!

    We were only hungry enough for snacks when we arrived here, which is good because sliders are the main focus for $2-3 apiece. Unfortunately, everything was sooooo good, we wished we weren't already stuffed from an earlier buffet at a business meeting. Feeling vegetable-deprived, we ordered the kale salad, which tasted very healthy and lemony. I so needed that after the cheese-laden buffet. I wondered about the "Mystery Meat" selection, and OMG, far across the room on a chalk board, did that really say "wild boar au poivre??????" Why, yes it did! Wild boar is one of my favorite meats, and anything au poivre is better than not au poivre. I've never encountered a wild boar burger, only ragu and tenderloin, and it was fabulous. Sauce au poivre, for some reason, is hard for restaurants to execute correctly, and it was definitely delicious here. The waitress warned us of the extreme pepper, which was courteous, (poivre means pepper in French, so it's supposed to be peppery), but we love pepper! As for draft beer, there's only about four selections, but they are all high-quality Michigan microbrews. Our waitress and the runners were efficient and friendly. I will return hungry to sample other awesome selections.

  • Sam G.

    Not a bad little joint. My colleague who took me here informed me that it used to be a hole in the wall and now it is on the up and up. You can tell it's on the up and up. But there's still a good sense of layered history and still a decent mix of people dining and drinking inside. I like the interior. Cozy. Charming. Themed without being kitschy. We sat at the bar and the two barkeeps were attentive and really helpful. One in particular was chatty and friendly in that "you're nice and I enjoy talking to you but I will cut a motherf*%$* if I need to" sort of way. I approve. If you like Belgian ales, the "final absolution" beer from Dragonmead on tap is exactly what a tripel should be. Hit the spot. I saw giant bottles of Bulleit Rye and Bourbon - so Green Dot passes with flying colors in the booze department, as far as I'm concerned. Ok. I just have to get this over with... deep breath... the kale salad is absolutely the best food this place has. It's quite possibly one of the top five things I've eaten in Michigan. And that's crazy. Because it's KALE salad. It was better than any of the sliders. And better than the herb + truffle oil fries. So even if you're not a yoga-mat-toting-wannabe-California-hippy-yuppie, GET THE KALE SALAD. As for the meat side of things, sliders from most to least liked: 1. mystery meat (wild boar with pickled beets, when I was in - AMAZING) 2. hot brown - I mean, how can one go wrong with bacon, chicken, and cheese? 3. kimchi - with peanut butter? crazy. I like the fact that it's weird but I don't know if I'd eat it often. 4. fried chicken - good, but I'm not a fan of super sweet or super fried things - as those two things go, this was tasty - not too greasy or breaded - the barkeep termed it "like chicken and waffles" 5. cuban - I still can't put my finger on what was not great about this. But it was not great. And I'm pretty gung ho about cuban sandwiches. Feh. For some reason I took a liking to the bathrooms, too. I probably shouldn't have followed the food section up with that. Oh well. I'm not knocked off my high horse by the food (mostly because of the choice of pedestrian bread/bun'age, me thinks), but the kale salad humbled me. I'll be more than happy to come back, just don't know if I'll be going out of my way to go for another ride.

    This place was ridiculous. You have to get over the initial assault on your sense that is Detroit. I had never been there, and coming from Nebraska, the sheer volume of urban decay sent up my alert systems and the exterior of this place doesn't do much to ease those sensitivities. The exterior doesn't look like it has been updated since the 80's. There's an imposing-looking metal door that lets you in near the bike rack shaped like a horse. Immediately inside the door is a small entryway with saloon-style double doors and an out of order plastic ball trinket machine that reads "Out of Order - Sometimes Life Isn't Fair." Through the saloon doors is your midwestern grandfather's basement. There are no exterior windows so everything has the warm glow of incandescent lighting reflecting off of wood and the muted 80's color palette. It works. It's really cool. Coming in from outside it's like some sort of weird oasis that you aren't expecting. Once inside the staff is friendly and attentive. The menu is hugely simple; a maybe 4" x 10" rectangle piece of heavy paper with sliders on one side and everything else on the other. The most expensive thing on the menu is $3, be it food or drink. Bloody Mary? $3. Draft or bottled beer? $2 or $3, depending on what you get. The sliders are all $2 or $3 as are the sides. I opted for 3 sliders and the cajun fries, and a local beer (they have an excellent selection of local beers on tap and in bottles). I had the BBQ Bacon, the Mystery Meat (which was roast beef that day), and another slider that I can't remember (which may have since moved off the menu; it appears to get updated regularly). All of the sliders were delicious and the cajun fries were crispy and delightful. The most difficult part of my meal was telling myself that I was full because I wanted to cram all of the sliders into my body. Just really, really good food. If I ever have occasion to go back to Detroit I will definitely stop by this place. You should as well.

    I'm writing this review from a bar patron perspective, not a diner. You gotta love this place with outdoor patio, diverse and happy customer base, FANTASTIC drink and food prices. It has a sort of divey feel, in a good way. Bartender Carlos was super friendly and efficient, addressing every male customer as brother. Food was really tasty too and priced to sample many different flavors. What's not to love?

    My boyfriend and I were excited to try this place after reading the reviews. I plan on trying this place again, because I think when we went the small plates we ordered were half hits and half misses. The clam chowder was awesome! So was the poutine fries! Also, the drink menu had cheap prices, but enough variety! We didn't order our sliders smart, we know what our pallates like and went too "out of the box". Willing to try again!

    This is a must go to place in Detroit. The wait can be long depending on the time. The food is amazing. I loved the cheeseburger slider. Also, the mac and cheese is a must. Yummy! I wish I lived in Michigan. I will be back there soon. There are dishes for a vegetarian too.

    This place is awesome, one of Detroit's hidden gems, although not a secret anymore. The food is fun, delicious, cheap and great for the indecisive people like me because you can order a bunch of items. The beer/booze list is stellar and the kitchen is open late. More proof that these damn hipsters are taking over the world.

    If this restaurant were in LA, I'd give it 3 stars. But since it's in Detroit, I've slid my scale down a bit. Supposedly this was a bar where policemen and their cronies would hang out after their shifts. It's divey; no muss or fuss about it. The menu is all sliders, typically costing $2-$3 each. In addition to classic cheeseburger and short rib sliders, there are also vegan/vegetarian sliders and more adventurous ones as well. There's a daily special slider and beer as well. I recommended ordering 3-4 sliders per person and sharing the truffle fries and poutine. Don't bother with the Nutella dessert; it's basically the same bread as the sliders, but smothered in Nutella. Beer menu is extensive. Food - 3.5 Ambience - 3 Service - 3

    We arrived at 8:30PM, we were directed to a nice outdoor seating area where people wait for a table. It was packed inside and out. By 9:30PM we got a table. By 10:30PM we got our food. "Why not serve food outside? I don't get it.", I thought to myself. Then, once seated inside, I realized they could barely keep up with the demands of the inside crowd. They simply aren't equipped to handle a full house. It is a nice problem to have, but they need to staff up asap! The food was good. I liked the Korean quite a bit. I thought the truffle fries were good, not great. They tasted heavily salted with a mild wasabi and garlic flavor. The cheeseburger slider was also good. 6 siliders, 2 fries, 2 salads and an iced tea came out to about $28. That's $14 per person. Again, I liked the sliders. i would have ordered more, but I didn't have another hour to wait. I had foolishly made plans for my future outside of the lost eons since setting foot in this establishment. Bottom line: I waited 2 hours for a tiny hamburger. I liked it, but I probably won't be back simply due to the time it took. I would have loved to remain in the nice yard outside to be served sooner (if they hired more staff).

    On this trip to Detroit, we drove the entire way, so I searched Yelp to find a fun new restaurant. This is what I found. Most sliders, fries, salads, desserts, sides, drinks etc are $2 or $3. The decor is dark. It was a random Tuesday and the restaurant was packed. Upon visiting the restroom, I was greeted by this googley eyed painting. I tried the specialty cocktail "Summer Soda," which is Basil, Lemon, Cucumber, Vodka, and Soda, and is only $3. Well drinks are $2. Detroit must be the place to drink. I ordered the venison chili cheese fries. They were fun and good. Jefferic had the cajun fries. We each had the "mystery meat" burger. Today, it was wild boar. It reminded me of beef. I also had the fried chicken which had maple syrup on it (think chicken and waffles). Jefferic had the hot brown, which was chicken and bacon. He said it was his least favorite of the 3, but it was ok. He also ordered the tempeh, which was seaweed salad on top of a vegetarian protein. This was one of the best places I've eaten in Detroit, and I would like to go back soon!! I would also like to duplicate this in Memphis.

    The portions are VERY small, but taste very good. Each slider is $3 and about half the size of the sliders in other restaurants. In order to get the fill of an average sized burger, one must eat at least 4 sliders, which comes out to be $12. The amount of $2-$3 fries were less than you would get with McDonald's $1 fries. To be filled, perhaps $15 will be spent (this is not including drinks and any other side dishes). If you are looking for a Detroit gem with delicious and creative food, and are willing to spend over $15 to be filled, this is the place for you. If you would like more bang for your buck..look elsewhere.

    Meh. Everything we had was good and tasty but very expensive. The wait is usually over 30 minutes. This is a good place for a snack after a game or with a beer but not for a meal. make sure to try the special as the chef is very adventurous with flavor profiles.

    The selection and taste of the sliders in amazing. A little pricey once you add in the cost of fries, 3 sliders and a drink.

    Food friends, I don't have a lot of words for Green Dot Stables. It was simply one of the best restaurant experiences I've had. Great service, great prices for quality food. I highly recommend the Lamb, the BCT, the current mystery meat (half bacon, half ground topped with apple slaw and garlic aioli on the bottom), The Bologna, The Hot Brown, the poutine, truffle fries, kale salad, and white bean salad. All of these dishes were so simplistic, but so beautifully done. Just packed with quality flavor. I can't wait to bring everyone I know here. Great job, guys!

    I don't know why I bother to keep trying to eat here. This is the third time in a row i could not get seated in a timely manner. I was alone this time and could not even get a spot at the bar. I asked if I could eat outside and they said they could not accommodate me. Apparently I could not get food to go either. The staff did not seem to care at my disappointment as they know the leemings will continue frequent this spot. I will not. Third strike you are out Green Dot.

    Food was ok but not great. I left the place feeling not feeling 100%. After a few hours I puke the food out violently. I thought it was just me but the entire group I was with got sick that day. I will never go there again.

    You can really make your dollar stretch at Green Dot Stables. Most items on the menu, including drinks, are $3. I came here with a group of 6, we ordered what seemed like the entire menu and ended up each paying around $20, tip included and loving everything that we ate. I love the stable decor/ambiance of the restaurant. Sampling a bunch of sliders and getting truffle fries is a safe bet. I also like the cucumber side. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the dessert menu doesn't quite live up to the rest of the menu. Stick with dinner and drinks here and go get dessert somewhere else.

    I would've loved to give a review based on the food, but I can't because of the following reason: front of the house cannot figure out timing. I should have known better when the hostess was writing names on a napkin. We arrived and we were told the wait would not be long since a lot of people had left (I'm wondering why they had left!?). We waited. And waited. We checked in on time and we were told not much longer. When I asked to see the list, there were still 8 tables ahead of us. Come on man! An hour and half later left still hungry and confused. We could've gone somewhere else if I would've been told the truth.

  • Crystal R.

    Not a whole lot to say that hasn't been said. The prices can't be beat, the food is creative and tasty,and it's not in some pretentious upscale setting. It's a comfortable place to hang with your friends. We thought we were going in early by going Saturday at 4- but it was busy even then! They are really reaping the benefits of good food and a good experience- even if their location is off the beaten path.

    Todays mystery meat was a pork tenderloin with apples and spinach. The people at my table that had it said it was amazing. It's their "fall" take on a burger.

    Love Green Dot Stables on quite off hours nights. My boyfriend and I go to Green Dot when the timing is right for an easy-going and friendly bar experience after the peak, packed-house hours have ended on the weekends. How can you possibly beat $3 micro-brew beers, wines, and mixed drinks? Add on the $2 price for amazing seasoned fries and you are in the best place ever. We always have great bar service and enjoy visiting at the times we go (past 11pm-2am.) I've never really experimented with the slider menu...but I'd definitely give it a chance for the $2-3 risk. I agree with what an earlier reviewer said--you have to be careful or you might end up ordering a lot because of the price if you are hungry. But usually I don't go to Green Dot for food (excepting fries) because we are usually there for a drink and a nice hang-out spot. I have been there during crowded times, and I know it gets really busy. We usually avoid those hours--but when I've been there I've had decent service given the conditions. I can see that seating for 6+ would be a challenge during peak hours--but the prices are almost unheard of as a consolation. I don't know how they turn a profit. They also offer single beer bottles for take-home purchases.

    New favorite place to get cheap drinks and sliders. Has a fun mismatched hipster feel. Mix of old and young people. I came in for day beers on a Sunday so they were not terribly busy but steady which was nice. Nice chill music. The truffle and herb fries were amazing. The are skinny and perfectly seasoned. Sliders: gyro, hot brown, cheeseburger, BBQ. Loved them. All of this was perfect to share with one other person. Disclaimer: be careful if you drink final absolution. 10% alcohol content for a beer. I'm glad I wasn't driving after that one... Interesting beer menu... I think I'll try some of their cocktails next time. Come here, eat, and be silly.

    Yum, dude. Salted cucumbers and creme fraiche are super refreshing. Perfect accompaniment to a couple of sliders. Fries are very good but I would rather just eat another burger! My favorite burger was the classic slider. SO DELICIOUS! I am embarrassed to say that I have ever eaten a McDouble for $1 when I can get a Green Dot Slider for $2. More please! Also, there is no ranch dressing in this joint... but I wasn't mad about it.

    Fast service and a really cool interior. The food comes in small portions, but fills you up really well. It's about $3 a slider, which makes for a good quick bite (much better than White Castle).

  • Ricky P.

    The food here was pretty good. I like their beer selection. I also like how everything is a la carte. I will be back here again in the future. The only problem is that of any good restaurant, it's crowded a lot. Get there at an odd hour, and you're all set.

  • Charles P.

    It doesn't look like much on the outside, but the food is fantastic and at a great price. $3 cocktails, $3 sliders. I felt pretty hungry, so I ordered the Coney Dog, Cuban, BBQ Bacon burger, Fried Chicken, and PB&J along with some cajun fries. The coney and pb&j were fairly standard as classics though well done. The fried chicken (comes with syrup) and cuban were both fantastic. I thought the BBQ bacon burger would be somewhat boring and my least favorite, but it absolutely blew me away. Can't wait to go back and try some more options.

    Great place to go for relatively cheap drinks and food. Love stopping by after going to a night game or whenever I'm craving their Korean slider. (Who knew peanut butter and kimchi would work so well?).

    To say I am a regular at Green Dot might be an understatement. When I ever have friends come visit Detroit for the first time (sporting events don't count) our first stop is GD. They have Gourmet Sliders (I believe 20 or so) that are packed with flavor as much as they have variety. I am vegetarian and they do have several delicious options for me to choose from. I also enjoy the fries and kale salad. Wait- going into it you must know that there are times that there is a long wait. The longest I have waited was about 40 minutes. They put in a heated patio that you can take your drinks to and wait till your table is free. Normally it is not that long of a wait... and if you are with good company it is worth it. service- I have never had a bad experience when it came to my service. The staff seem to work together well and are pretty fast in bringing the food out. They always say "Let me leave an extra menu out in case you want another one." When you order another one it is not that long of a wait.

  • Darice L.

    So I'll just go ahead and give the average/poor rating amongst the other shining star reviews. Decor-fine, service-fine, food- very salty. I had the Philly & a chicken slider. The cheese wiz on the slider was very salty and the chicken slider-good btw- but drowned in syrup; I'd consider this choice for breakfast if they had it. We ordered Cajun fries but i guess no matter where you go for those they'll be super salty. All in all- not worth the $15 for 4 sliders and an order of fries.

    Being a vegetarian I love this place, I can't imagine how much the meat eaters love this place. Tempeh is excellent even if you are a meat eater. Also do try their grilled cheese, one of the best I've ever had.

    Just went on a cross country road trip and this was by far my favorite place we ate at. Great food, great atmosphere, and outrageously great prices. $3 cocktails, c'mon. The line seemed long and they estimated a 20 minute wait but it ended up being only about 5. Highly recommend the fried chicken slider

    Green Dot Stables? Sounds like that kiddie show Anna Green Gables... That was what I was imagining when my friend told me about this place. It was nothing like I expected. It was a stable alright which was pretty interesting since its in the middle of Detroit. Totally stands out. And I was definitely not expected sliders and beer. HAHA. I ordered the: Mushroom Broth soup $3: It was cold and recently I've developed a craving for mushrooms. It was delicious! Light and tasty. Warm me up good. It kind of reminded me of the soup they serve at Beni Hanas. Korean $3 (Peanut Butter-Kimchi) - It was good but I though the peanut butter was a bit weird. I don't know if peanut butter goes with kimchi. BCT $2 (Bacon-Cucumber-Tomato Jam-Aioli)- Yumm... It was a great combination Everything looked great from looking at what my friend's ordered. I saw a salad heading to another table and well that doesn't look like its worth it. I wouldn't mind trying the kale salad though. I want to come back with a bunch of people and order everything on the menu or I wish I had a big enough stomach to eat everything on the menu. I will be back! O yea. There is plenty of parking!

  • Jaclyn W.

    The food here is amazing! I have had decent service every time I have been here. I wish they would have outside dining during the lunch hour since they have a covered patio area. Many times there is a wait to be seated because they get so busy during the week.

    (4)

  • Kennie S.

    Great, yes. Perfect. Not quite. The sandwiches are tasty, but sometimes they're inconsistent - too much, too little sauce. I've had sandwiches that typically hold up completely fall apart upon being picked up - quinoa, corned beef. But then, this seems to happen more, the busier it is. Watch out for game days. Overheard the host mention a 2 hour wait after my friend and I decided to bail on an especially packed night.

    (4)

  • Eddison B.

    Hands down- pretty much the best slider I've had in a long while. Their creative menu with an assortment of different sliders and affordable prices- you could easily try all of them in one sitting- just make sure to have some company. I went with my family and we pretty much tried everything, even their side items are delicious. Its kind of in the middle of no where, but that adds to the charm. Great place to go for drinks and bites, it was super busy too- they're obviously doing something right!

    Not my favorite place to go in Detroit, but it's definitely a fun place to go with a group of friends (especially friends who like to share food--so you can all taste each other's sliders) or even for a late night snack. I think I favor the BBQ Bacon slider. I wouldn't get the Hot Brown again, which I think has more to do with the Mornay sauce in general than something that Green Dot is doing wrong. I just think that sauce is totally flavorless. My husband tried the quinoa burger, which was surprising (and just so you get the idea...I started eating meat again when I married him after being a vegetarian for 2.5 years because he liked meat so much it was practically the only option) and he actually thought it was the best one he tried! So go for that, for sure. Another high point is the truffle and herb fries. I don't usually like truffle flavor but these fries are delicious and super addicting. They use to have a side I think with orzo and it was really refreshing and yummy but I think they got rid of it...maybe they'll still make it for you if you ask? Things to skip: the mac and cheese (I've had way better, don't waste the calories). Dessert--go somewhere else if you're really craving something sweet...the options here are limited and not very appetizing. One last thing: the cocktails here are completely worth a try. $3?? Yes, please. We took my parents here when they visited and ever since my dad has been making Moscow Mules at home...he had it here first, folks! But all of their cocktails are pretty yummy, and so inexpensive that you might as well try a couple! Also, the friends who like to share food (and drinks) that I mentioned earlier come in handy for cocktail tastings too.

    To be clear the two stars are ONLY because of the service. Food was amazing, as always. Ryan D was our waiter. He almost never came by our table, we had to catch him every time we wanted a refill or to order anything more. He forgot 3 items, did not even ring them in. Don't get to come to Green Dot very often and wanted to order some to go for relatives and to get the things that he forgot, but he took so long to get back to our table (restaurant was not even half full at this point) that we said forget it. My boyfriend is a server, and we understand that you can get busy at some points, but this was a very disappointing (and long) trip to Green Dot.

  • Carole H.

    94 reviews at a 4.5 average, says it all! GOOD food, GOOD drinks, and CHEAP!!! Servers are efficient, the seating is comfortable - and I absolutely loved the little raised platform section that allows you to sit up at the bar, but in a low seat! Maybe I'm just a simple girl, but I think that's too cool. :) I've tried a few of their different sliders - all tasty, but the Cuban has to take top spot so far. The mac & cheese stands out, white and creamy with a bit of a spicy note to it. Still can't believe how cheap the beers and cocktails are. Get there early on weekends - the lot fills fast, and the street parking on 14th isn't very well lit.

    First time, not my last Went on Saturday afternoon, about 3 pm.....my friend driving said something like " i hope its not to busy there". Meanwhile i was thinking, were in the middle of Detroit , on a non game day at 3 o clock.....busy. Huh ? Well they were a little busy, a cycling event in Corktown spilled over, but our wait for a table for 6 was a short 20 minutes. Grabed a few drinks at the bar, i could not beleive the prices, a beer, a mixed drink and a wine for about $10....total Fun little dive bar, i liked the horse race theme, especially the races on tv. Took me back to good memories of Hazel Park with my dad a few years ago. The slides were very tasty... I tried the classic cheeseburger and a philly slider, excellent. The rest of the group enjoyed there varied selections. The waiters and food runners did a great job at keeping the food and drinks coming. The crowd never subsided, I will be back to try a few diferrent sliders and have another s'more ...... Good stuff !

  • Dan P.

    Great place to visit and have lunch. A bit noisy, so expect to scream at the waiter/waitress to order, along with the people you are with. We got there on Friday a little after 12 noon.... 15 minutes later, there was a line of people waiting to be seated. The $3 sandwiches are called Sliders, so they are a bit small, as are the pencil thin fries. They don't allow separate checks, so be warned. It would have been nice if they at least broke out each order on the one check. Luckily they did not add a tip, like another restaurant I went to in the downtown area. I had 2 sliders - one of which was the "Mystery Meat" - No, not horse, but Kangaroo - a taste that someone would have to get use to - I will pass next time. Expect to spend about $11 for 2 sliders, fries and a soft drink.

    So delicious, so good! A must go for lunch or dinner. Order the cheese burger, Philly, Mac & cheese and the smores is a NEED! Super busy on the weekends, head out early!

  • Dan M.

    Holy incredible. All of the food we tried here (about 10 different burgers) was amazing. Mystery meat of the day was a goat burger which had just enough gamey flavor to let you know it wasn't beef, but it was tasty. Another big perk in my book is the draft beer selection. I love Saugatuck Neapolitan Milk Stout, so that was a welcome surprise to see on the tap list. Seating is plentiful if you can beat the lunch rush during the week. I was here with 3 friends at about 11 AM just after opening and we had no problem snagging a booth. An hour later there was a wait. I can just imagine that this place is nuts on the day of a sports game or on the weekend, so be prepared if you're coming during those times.

    (5)

  • Sean E.

    This place is ok at best. It's over-hyped and maybe I just expected too much from that. 45 mins for a table 15 mins for a drink and 35 more for food. I get there were only two girls there, but it's a busy saturday, management should know better. So with all the hype four of us order 1 of each slider to sample a bite of each. Let me say the best one was pry the grilled cheese, everything else left something to be desired. If I was in the area and there was no wait I'd go back. Would I ever wait 45 mins for any of their sliders? Not a chance.

  • Dave S.

    I'm not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing that Green Dot is sort of in the middle of nowhere. Being off the beaten path (if there is one it's certainly beaten) might help keep the crowds down on game and concert nights, which can actually be a good thing if you plan to be a patron at Green Dot. We stopped in late on a weeknight and still had to wait roughly 15 minutes for table. Granted, the total space is not very big, but I'm sure it's the only restaurant in a dimly lit part of Detroit commanding a wait at this point. I would venture to bet, that if GDS were in Detroit Proper you would see lines out the door virtually every night their is an event downtown...if that isn't already the case. Depending on your appetite, I'd recommend 3-5 sliders for your meal. Being that it was later in the evening and I was a bite staving, I went with 4 sliders (Philly Cheese, Cheeseburger, Fried Chicken, and BBQ Bacon) and an order of the Venison Chili Cheese fries. Honestly, it's hard to say which slider was my favorite, but I might lean towards a tie between the BBQ Bacon and Fried Chicken. Truthfully, I would get all four again and when I return it might be hard to make any substitutions (I guess I will just have to eat more). The venison fries were the bomb, I may have licked the paper basket they came in. The best part about GDS...are the prices. Literally, no food items are above $3. If you look one step further, almost all beers and cocktails are $2 or $3.

    What a find! Went for lunch on a Saturday morning just before noon. Just west of downtown Detroit on a VERY deserted street (bank, Burger King, bunch of boarded up buildings). Was a bit worried driving into the parking lot (as there was only one other car at the time). Walked through the door into a bar like atmosphere - lot of green and horse racing gear. Two page menu - very simple. Gourmet sliders are what you come here for. They were very reasonably priced - usually $2 to $3. There is a mystery meat burger that changes weekly. Tried three sliders PLUS venison fries. They were all quite good. The Korean slider was amazing (kimchi and believe it or not - PEANUT BUTTER). Mystery meat burger certainly worth it - it was pork the day I went. Others have complained about service - no problems here. Perhaps this is a function of how busy the restaurant is - certainly was not when ate there. Overall, very affordable and satisfying meal. Only downfall is its location - in the middle of nowhere! Definitely have to go back and try the other sliders!

  • Kyle Martin D.

    Ever seen a man get slapped across the face for "not being too sure about the smoked turkey leg" slider? Well. I have and it made for one of the best dining moments of my life. Lesson: Never question the merits of smoked turkey leg in front of a portly Polak when he is seven drinks deep. It could get nasty. Anyhow. The sliders are all killer -- although if you aren't a fan of kimchi, it doesn't taste a whole hell of a lot better as a hamburger topping. As the name indicates, the place has a horse racing theme, so it's only fitting to order a mint julep, or twelve. And at $3 a drink, why not? Keep 'em coming and don't worry about making an ass out of yourself, because you're always amongst friends at the aptly dubbed "hipster country club."

  • Liz W.

    Wow. I was afraid to try this place due to over the top hype but it lives up to it! This is not your typical Detroit slider joint on any level. Bring friends or a big appetite as you will want to try all that is on offer. It is hard to narrow down. Sampling didn't help matters as everthing was better tasting than the descriptions. Love the helpful advice on beverage and food pairings, it ups the palette pleasing experience. The atmosphere in here is comfy and congenial. You get good service and definitely want to hang out. It's not fakey friendly, people here are just nice. Genuine. They serve up some good beer that will not break the bank and some fun mixed drinks. You can take a vegetarian, a meat eater, a teetotaler or a beer snob, this place will make everyone happy. They even have their own garden, which should make just about every varietal of green friend you have content. All that and it is a freaking bargain! Kimchee and peanut butter? It actually works. Lamb? Oh yeah. BBQ Bacon, Mmmmm. Cuban? Delightful. Corned Beef? Tasty. BCT? Money. All varietals of fries and dips I tried? Happy. Cucumbers with creme fraiche? Over the top glee. I have to go back. I am aiming to try everything. Next up is that cherry soup! Run, do not walk.

    If there is a better horse racing themed restaurant in downtown Detroit that has a breadth of sliders on the menu I want to know about it. On second though, I don't want to know about it, I probably can't handle it. Green Dot certainly lives up to its reputation as a must try restaurant downtown. I visited during lunch and saw a reasonable menu with sliders of all varieties ranging from $2-$4. Sides were similarly priced and beer was cheep as well. I ended up grabbing three sliders and a beer for about $11 - not a bad haul. The expansive menu also allowed me to try some new burgers. My favorite was the Korean Barbecue burger, because obviously all burgers are better with peanut butter. The bacon cheeseburger was also amazing - as bacon cheeseburgers generally are. I was not a fan of the Greek burger and I'm Greek, but that's likely my fault.

    Sliders, beer, and drinks, all at reasonable prices for the heart of hipster Detroit, where you can spend much, much more. It's a great place to sit and nosh and talk with a date or a friend, and the crowd is diverse. Don't be afraid to try some of the more experimental sliders (Mystery Meat, Peanut Butter-Kimchi); they're good more often than not.

  • Sarah S.

    What a gem! My first visit to Detroit, and thankfully I know someone that recommended this place. Everything on the menu is $2-3. Everything on the menu is delicious. Even the draft beer is $3/pint, including Bell's. We sat at the bar because there was an opening. Even on a Sunday night this place was packed, and with good reason. The burgers are slider-style. You will require 3-5 burgers and/or sides to feel satisfied. The standouts were the hot brown, coney dog, cuban. The truffle fries were good, but the poutine fries were outstanding. The poutine fries are like a transcendent taste experience for your mouth. We didn't get the mystery meat because it was boar testicles, but power to green dot for the guts to serve that up. The service at the bar was awesome. Recommendations were excellent and the bartenders were friendly. There is an interesting crowd here. Everyone from hipsters to older single guys to families. A great atmosphere for anyone who wants a good, reasonably-price meal. If I ever make it back to Detroit this will be on my to-do list!

    Have to say I was really excited about going to GDS because of the reviews. Spent a lot of time living and working in the city and love to support places that are there. The kimchi on Korean slider was good, and the chicken tasted nice with the maple flavor. That's where my good kinda stops. We all ordered drinks and I went with the special mixed on the menu which lacked any alcoholic flavor. I mean what can you expect for $3? Oh yeah McDonald's will give you a burger that has more meat and cheese for.a third of the price so value is subjective. (Not that I recommend fast food) The kitchen was slow and the order came out in shifts about every 5 minutes another person at our table got part of their order. The deserts were good according to my table mates. We asked for the bill and when our "change" came back it was $10 light. Now I waited tables for 7 years and I have to say I can't remember shorting a customer but I'm sure it was innocent. Not planning on coming back in the near future.

    Dear Korean Slider, I love you. I can't get you out of my mind. Your crunchy briny kimchi, your warm velvety peanut butter, and your juicy savory meat. Your friend the Summer Soda was pretty great too. Hope to see you again soon. xoxo

    Looks like my fellow reviewers have covered it all. Noteworthy are the rich, salty and savory truffle fries and the super moist corned beef slider - loved the hint of horseradish. The Cajun mac&cheese was pretty bland. Excellent service. The $3 price tags make it easy to experiment. We'll be back!

    Finally I feel comfortable enough to give this place the five stars it truly deserves. I can confidently say that they ironed out all their kinks and phased out the hipster attitude that made this place annoying to visit. It is still super hipster in set-up, offerings and clientele; but they got rid of that indifferent, sometimes almost deriding, hipster attitude that plagued the servers here from when they first opened. Now I know that when I visit, I'll get some tasty sliders, and great drinks; all from a server that knows how to talk to people. Right...after I got that off my chest...now lets talk about the sliders. They are pure joy! Well, most of them. I have only had one that wasn't five star worthy (its was a kangaroo mystery meat slider that was too gamey...serves me right for eating a cute, hoppity kangaroo). Favorites include the Coney dog slider with venison chili, the corned beef and the cheeseburger. The cheeseburger slider is the perfect version of itself, seriously its what all greasy slider cheeseburgers should taste like (Greene's, take note!). The venison chili here is amazing, despite me usually refraining from venison --- what can I say? I have a hard time eating cute animals. I've also tried the fried chicken (which is perfectly fried), the kimchi/PBJ and a bunch of mystery meat selections. Never have I been disappointed. They have changed their menu in last few months though. They used to have lamb slider which was one of my staples, but its no longer available. Make sure to order your sliders with a side of fries. The truffle fries and the chili cheese fries get my vote. Skip the mac-and-cheese, its super, almost soupy, runny. Not good at all. Kale salad is alright, but not a favorite either. Another reason why Green Dot is so amazing? The drinks. Cocktails run about $3-4...with prices like that, how can you pass them up? The always have a mystery cocktail as well, so make sure you ask your server about that. So yes, finally, Green Dot get a five star rating from me. After some very positive and noticeable changes, visits here are top-notch. It was a close call there for a second but in the Detroit slider game, I definitely know who the champ is.

    Used to go there often after work. It was an old Detroit landmark. The hipsters with their iphones, skinny jeans and scarfs got a hold of the place...haven't gone back since. Updated on 10/14/2013: I finally when there with my brother who was on town from Chicago. I picked him up and we went there about a week ago.. Place was a little more than 1/2 filled at 10pm. As we sat down, I went the bathroom room when I came back there was a female, drunk off her tail sitting at bar. As I sat down I noticed a horrible stench of BO. I asked my brother when he quit using deodorant, he said he thought it was the female at the bar. We moved to the shorter end of bar with the lower seats. As the hipster bartender gave us menu's, we noticed it was him that stank worse than an OTR truck driver in the summer with no AC hauling manure. The drunk female called him out on it as she was stumbling out. He even took a sniff of his pits and laughed it off. No reason to stink, bar tender. Tip would have been better and we would have stayed longer... The menu was easy and it was cheap, seemed like everything was $3 and $4.00..And yes, There were plenty of tight jeans, scarfs and people glued to their electronics... Not my kind of place...YMMV, but this isn't for me. Guys from work go there, I will be skipping out.

    Ever have a place you love so much that you put off writing a review because you're afraid you're not going to do it justice? Yep, that's me and Green Dot Stables. I've been here a handful of times and I haven't been even remotely disappointed by anything that I've had. The sliders are delicious and inventive. Every time I've been I've ordered something different so I've had a pretty nice spread off their menu. The Korean (kimchee, peanut butter, and a beef patty) is fantastic. Loved the BCT (bacon, cucumber, tomato jam aioli) and the truffle fries are ahhhhmaaaahhhhhzing. One visit I had the mystery meat which was a hawaii inspired slider with ham and pineapple and it was so good I wish it was on the regular menu! Mac and cheese is creamy and perfect and one visit I had a bowl of the cherry soup which BLEW.MY.MIND. A cold soup with whole cherries and mixed up with creme fraiche. I died a little. Seriously guys, the menu here is incredible. Also vegetarian and vegan friendly so there's something for everyone, indeed. The price? Ridiculous. Each menu item is about 2 bucks with nothing over $3. The sliders are smaller but with such a crazy low price point you can get a ton to try a lot and not break your bank. I usually do two sliders and a side and it's the perfect amount of food and only 6-9 bucks. WHAT?! That's amazing. And drinks! The drinks are also that cheap! And they're actual drinks. Like, super good cocktails like Mint Juleps and Green Dot Wallbagers with good booze and they're only $3 each! Add a buck for premium liquor. $3 for bottled beers like Founders, Bells, Arcadia and more. That's outrageous! I don't know how they do it but I'll take it! Servers are conscientious and incredibly friendly. I've had impeccable service every time I've visited. No bum servers in the bunch. Green Dot Stables, I'm in love. I hope I did you justice because you always treat me so good!

    I'd give Green Dot 4 1/2 stars if I could. The best part? EVERYTHING IS $3 and UNDER! Feel free to try a few appetizers, sliders, and drinks. Been here a few times, and the food is always tasty. For appetizers/sides, get the cucumbers with creme fraiche...delicious on a hot day downtown. The truffle and herb fries are also yumalicious. The mystery slider of the day has always been the best bet.. If choosing a menu slider, the buffalo chicken and au poivre are great....I am salivating just thinking about that buffalo chicken! The lamb slider is ok, I'd suggest trying something else. It's dark and sorta dingy, but is a friendly atmosphere. Hipster and baby boomer central. If you're downtown and don't want to spend a lot of $, go here!

    Heard about this joint a while ago and finally got to try it out last night. Everything you've heard is true. The food is excellent and inexpensive. The drinks are priced REALLY well. The wait staff was efficient as was the kitchen. Cool environment, location and parking too. We were there around 8pm and were seated quickly but I'd love to go down there later some time since they're open til 2. I'd go again in a heart beat, recommend friends and/or take them there myself!

    For the price, this place is great. The premise is pretty basic; sliders, fries, beer. However, these aren't the sliders you get at your local burger joint or White Castle. These are gourmet sandwiches with rich flavors. Where else will you get a bbq buffalo meat jalapeño slider? The fries are the perfect size, just a little bit thinner than shoestring fries. The golden crisp fries compliment the sliders very well. If you're feeling Canadian, the poutine fries are delicious. The choice of craft beers are also a hipster's dream come true. The only drawback would be the decor. It's nothing really special, it's quite boring. I feel like this place cannot decide it's personality. Other than that, this place is fantastic.

    Some of the sliders here are awesome - the fried chicken is my personal favorite - and it's fun to try the "mystery meat" of the day. Good beer selection. A few of the sliders are unremarkable, but once you try a few and figure out the ones you like, you'll be back! Be warned - it can get EXTREMELY crowded and the wait can be over an hour if you go at a peak time on the weekend.

    To come here with the intention of eating gourmet food.... You won't find it. If you come for little bites of very tasty interesting sliders, delicious kale salad, fun atmosphere, and engaging servers... you'll love it. Gotta love the "squeeze" cheese! The $3 price tag per slider is attractive, but if you come hungry, your bill for two can be a bit more then you anticipated, but still a great deal.
