Fuddruckers

At 7:30 am, looking for something lighter than a 1000 calorie burger. I ordered the croissant with egg and cheese. Sounds light? Came with a greasy sausage patty and the cheese was glued to the patty. The croissant looked like it was grilled on a panini press, greasy and compressed. Why wouldn’t the sausage patty be included in the menu description?!! Egg was good, I threw away the rest of the mess.

Horrible! Yes there were people in line but mainly because there are almost no other choices in this concourse. Place was filthy and when asked someone to clean a table they were visibly irritated. Food was even worse. Cardboard burger served at room temperature on cold bun. Bacon had been cooked previously and was room temperature with congealed grease coating it.

Not too bad for a small version but it’s far from a Fuddruckers experience. Burger was slightly overcooked but onion rings were fried just right, needed salt though. Fresh roll, nicely toasted and the veggies bar was fresh.

DO NOT GO HERE. 25 min wait for an egg sandwich with no line. Go to the main terminal for faster, better, cheaper food.

Turn left when you come out of the tunnel. There is a Wendy’s that won’t charge you an arm for a crap burger.

Large line and friendly quick service but the place was a hot mess with sticky floors and filthy. I got the ¹⁄₃ lb cheeseburger combo. The fries were hot and good. The burger was dry and sad. The bun is huge and dry; the hamburger looked so small and sad

The cooler was not working when I got my drink from it. The light was off on the display case but they were still selling beverages from it. I thought that was odd but my breakfast sandwich was tasty and I’m glad it was a quick treat near my boarding gate of my connector

I don’t know why I have this obsession with turkey burgers, but I was ecstatic when I saw this Fuddruckers in the airport. I walked in ten minutes to early for breakfast and the young lady at the register really made me wait it out. When I was allowed to order, we had a communication issue as she just couldn’t understand that I did not want a plain turkey burger. After we worked it out, I was charged a whopping $ 16.23 and the rights to my first born child. In desperation for food after missing breakfast, I gave it to her. It took about 20 mins to get my food, but it finally came out. This is a Pepsi restaurant… hated it. I ate my food, mumbled complaints under my breath, and moved on with my life.

I don’t have any experience with other Fuddruckers, so this was an OK meal last night. We had limited time between flights and it was the best choice on the concourse. I had a «rajun cajun» chicken sandwich and my companion had a cheeseburger. We shared an order of fries. They have some pre-​made salads as options as well — along with yogurt parfaits and some healthier choices.
Everything is made «fresh» — I used the kiosk to order which worked well. The burger and chicken sandwich were hot and the bun was big and soft (but not overly mushy). The fries were super hot and spiced nicely.
There is a separate bar with fresh tomato, onions and pickles. Plenty of condiments nearby and fountain drinks across from those.
It’s a small space with limited seating, so when it gets busy, it’s a bit of a cluster.
That said — this really isn’t a bad choice for an airport food experience.

Slow first customer for lunch ordered a chicken sandwich at 11:10 at 11:30 I got my sandwich note 7 customers came in during my wait 4 received food before me I had to get it to go too late to eat! This is an airport restaurant people get the lead out!

Extremely rude staff who felt the need to tell each other in line, with customers present how tired they are. C terminal is a wasteland and this the center.

This Fuddruckers is NOT like the rest. You start out with kiosk ordering which is ok. Next you get you your cup for fountain soda (unless you get a bottle drink).
The you’ll wait about 20 minutes for «fast» food. Here’s what you don’t get:
1. People that care about their job
2. An understanding they work in an airport where people ha e a need for speed.
3. Any notion that a line of people probably means you should put down more fries.
4. The cook (who can see the line outside) putting down more burgers in anticipation of the line ordering hamburgers — at a Fuddruckers, who would have guessed.
Heres what you will get:
1. Overfilling the fry basket and –wait for it — adding fryolator oil while cooking… can you say gross fries?
2. A burger that is utterly flavorless and dry.
3. Cheese thinner than a sheet of paper.
4. Bacon out of a steam bin — yuck.
I will never go to this one again. Its fuddruckers in name only.

Comically bad. I witness an argument between two employees because one put coffee grounds without a filter and caused a pretty bad mess from the sounds of it.
All I wanted were some fries. My order was forgotten about. I asked about it maybe 3 times. The lady informed me each time that me asking wasn’t going to make it come any faster. That would be believable if I didnt see fresh fries within arm reach of her. Finally I asked if I could just have my fries, all I ordered was fries and I can clearly see they are made. She looked very angry like I insulted everything she stood for. She almost yelled «FIne take your fries and quit asking» as she turned around and picked up fries that were ready right next to her and reach another 2 feet in my direction to hand them to me. That 15 seconds of work exhausted her. I dont think anyone else got fries that day.
The fries were horrible.

This place has managed to find new and innovative ways to provide a crappy dining experience. Not enough seating, slow service, a poorly designed touch screen interface, surly employees, over priced food, etc. Don’t get trapped at the end of Concourse C!

On one hand, the quality of the burger is not up-​to-​par with normal Fuddrucker’s standards. And I love Fudd’s, my cousin works there, and my family used to go allll the time and I am ravenous for their burgers. But if I had just blind taste tested a burger here I never would have guessed it was Fudd’s. The bun tasted like Fudd’s but not the burger. I also got a pile o’mushrooms on my burger and they were rubbery and tasteless.
On the other hand, I very much enjoyed that I could put my own lettuce, tomato and onion on the burger. I like having control over that as people never put enough onions when asked. But the lettuce was soggy and choppy and unappetizing and I was unimpressed when I saw it up close. I would say this is a 2.5, but rounded down to a 2 because Fudd’s is all about the burgers and if the meat itself sucks what is the point of getting a burger in the first place?
I don’t like the ordering kiosks because I still have to ask questions to the woman behind the counter to ensure some weird mystery sauce isn’t going to appear on my meat like what happened at Einsteins earlier that day. I’ve been to places where people put mayo on pretty much anything unless you ask for it not to be there. Yuck!
Last thing, super slow service… don’t recommend for those who are in a hurry.

Pretty terrible.
Only thing going for them is the ordering kiosks, taking the troublesome customer service out of the hands of the employees.
The food is low grade dog food, garbage, but in that section of the terminal it’s the only thing going. Detroit airport’s food quality is in the pits, seriously kids, pack a lunch.
«How can they mess up a burger and fries?» It’s possible and here it seems to be an art form. Horribly seasoned meat, to mask the taste of the quality, fries were beyond awful, also seasoned to kill.
There’s virtually nothing good to say about this location. Even the toppings bar was a mess. The soda machine disgusting, with busted taps.
Oh well, move on and try the next slop house at DTW.

World’s Greatest Hamburger it is not.
This place is meh. The meat in the burger was utterly flavorless. Onion rings were far from crispy. Prices were insane.
As far as fast burgers go, places like Five Guys and In-​N-​Out do it better.
As far as this airport, I am certain I could have done much better at Einstein Bros.

Don’t eat here. It’s way overpriced, the wait is incredibly long, and the food was disgusting. Try your luck at a place that knows how to properly do fast food. I was quite disappointed by my meal and I wish I would’ve looked at Unilocal beforehand.

I’m sorry… food at an airport is already over priced, but to have to wait an extended amount of time while you are waiting to dash off to the next gate/​destination is unacceptable in my eyes. When I walked up there was a crowd of people waiting for food and there was a stipulation that there is a «10min» wait on burgers… no big deal. I ordered the chicken fingers to avoid the burger wait, but apparently the chicken finger wait was much longer than the burger wait!
Fortunately I was in a better boat than most, had some time to kill so I waited patiently for my food to come out. Some people were clearly getting annoyed with the wait and how long it was taking for the food to come out. When my food finally came out… the chicken tenders were not worth the wait… almost tasted like they were made with old oil… could not pinpoint what was funky about them. I had two bites and put up my white flag. I would think again before going here…
The only bright spot was that their ordering system was flawless… a computer touchscreen with no human interaction (go-​figure).

More like Fuddrucker’s lite. Lite on service (you work through an ordering console). Lite on selections (no ostrich burger). Lite on quality (can’t cook a medium-​rare burger). Lite on seating (cramped and greasy feeling). But heavy on price. You might as well go to Chili’s at that pricing ($ 10+).
Verdict: Avoid. Head somewhere else. [Original Visit: March 19, 2012]
