About Original Marcus Hamburgers

Original Marcus Hamburgers is a burger joint at 6349 E McNichols Rd in Detroit, MI, with a history that dates to 1929. According to the business’s description, Charles Marcus built an enormous grill in the center of his diner and stamped all-steak patties into rectangles, then sautéed them to fit hot dog buns. That shape and preparation formed the original Marcus Burger, a local specialty that distinguishes the business from a conventional burger joint.

The setting is casual and quiet, with counter service, seating, and fast service. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner are offered, along with coffee, comfort food, and small plates. Customers can dine in or order takeout; catering is also available, but delivery and reservations are not. The business welcomes families and groups, provides high chairs, and is suitable for solo dining. Payment is cash only. Free lot and street parking are available, along with wheelchair-accessible parking and a wheelchair-accessible restroom.
