Burgies - Alpena

This is a little place that we were told had the best burgers in Alpena. We tried to go here last year but it was a Monday and they are closed on Sundays and Mondays. The inside is very nice along with what looked like a good outside patio. We all ordered burgers, duh. They were all cooked perfectly. All of the burgers were good, maybe even very good, but nothing special. The fries were ok. The onion rings ok. The fried brussel sprouts were good. Last year the had fried corn on the cob that I was looking forward to was no longer on the menu. The service was outstanding. Quick refills. Friendly waiters. Overall I'd say 3 1/2 stars that rounds up to 4. I actually enjoyed my burger last year at Nick's Southside Diner more than I did this years Burgies. Still it is a good burger. Will I be back. Sure, but I might try other places first.

Back in Alpena after 2 years. First stop, BURGIES! Still nice people, still great food.

The hype is worth it--Burgies is awesome. Locally owned and offering a HUGE menu and lots of local and craft beers, this is a total gem on the main drag in Alpena. Although the restaurant is a little on the small side, which can mean a wait, it is definitely worth it! I loved the Brussel sprouts, and I would challenge anyone who thinks they don't like Brussels sprouts to reconsider and try these. I love that there are multiple vegetarian options; and their veggie burger is great--love the burgers sauce and avocado on it! Everything is served in HUGE portions, so order accordingly.

These burgers are better than the ones at The Butler in Saugatuk!! Didn't think that was possible. Hand formed and cooked to perfection not greasy at all. Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts too! They come with a very nice sweet mustard sauce. Too bad I live so very far from Alpena, Michigan :

We all LOVED burgies! And how can you not with such a cute name? The onion rings were huge! The fries were perfectly done. All 4 burgers were amazing. Three of us had turkey burgers and really enjoyed them. My friend ordered Brussel Sprouts that were either fried or grilled (I forgot since I hate Brussel Sprouts) and he thought they were the best he's ever had. We wanted to go back but they are closed Sun and Mon.
