- Elmer’s Hamburgers is one of the last old school slider restaurants in Detroit, although not as well known as some of the others.
It’s been a staple on West Chicago in Detroit since the 1950s, and is certainly loved by its westside neighborhood.
“I hear stories all the time from people who had their first date at Elmer’s, who met friends at Elmer’s ... the grill, the countertops, the stools, basically what you see, is how it was back in the 50s,” said Louis Smith, owner of Elmer’s Hamburgers.
You know it’s gonna be a good burger when it’s wrapped in that white paper 📄. Yum 🤤.

YES OLD SCHOOL GOOD
Delicious burgers, and their fries are delicious too! Top notch food!
WOW WOW WOW. Here I am sitting in Los Angeles and here pops up this memory of home. I made a point to come to this burger place when I last visited home (Detroit). It tasted exactly the same as I remember. So glad that some things don't change.
What’s up home grown

I was there the other day an got six delicious cheeseburgers love that place
I grew up in this neighborhood. Loved Elmers
I'm not sure if it's me but there's literally just this one burger place also in Detroit with the same building design and probably old too but instead of that it's actually called Sonny's hamburgers and it's actually right across the street from the Marathon gas station on Schoolcraft Rd
Was thinking 💭 the same
It's good but it's no Elmers.
Sonnys is tastes better.
Good burgers 💯 and nice people
Omg the memories that came back!, I remember taking my children there even after we moved downriver! I relocated to Florida but when I’m in Detroit Elmer’s is my 2nd stop ❤
Only been there once but it was LEGIT GOOOOOD
Omg great memories. Thanks for this hamburger history still going on.
I’m for sure going here!
OMG..... My family use to live on Cherrylawn/Schoolcraft and we would go there in the 50's, 60's & 70's. I LOVED the burgers and Chocolate Malts that they were also known for back then....... so THICK. Thank you Mr. Lewis Smith for keeping Elmer's going. Next time I go back to Detroit, I will have to stop in and get a few burgers......... if I lived closer would now..... it is a long ways from Honolulu, HI. Sometimes after school (Mackenzie High) my sister Sandy and I, we would go there.
Yes I know we're they are and they are really good hamburger s my sister loved them
Definitely the best sliders in Detroit my whole family have been customers since my grandparents came up from the south in 50's and myself and my adult children are customers till this day ❤❤❤❤❤
Sonnys hamburgers on schoolcraft
Love Elmers hamburgers❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Although they are some distance from me, i found me a new burger & fries joint when i feel the crave. I love to support our black on businesses. Every spring i go to the Garden Bug garden nursey on detroit west side. I skip english garden, home depot and all coming from Birmingham just to support black owned and you get great personal care, good garden tips and good plants.
When I was going to McKenzie this was the move everyday after school
💯
Turkey burgers!!! I’m On my way!
I went to Northernwestern high school with the first guy that said this a gem right here lol...😅
I haven’t been in there since I moved from MI. I have to stop in one day.
My memories of coming home from the bar an the wonderful smell of burgers I would get at least 6burgers an large fries an be stuffed after 2 great burgers
Yeah the city slept on this one. Drew Jr High. Class of 74 yum
And my husband loved them
Never had one but they look much better than White Castle. And the pride they take in preparing the burgers I take my hat off to all of them and I hope next time I am down that way I will swing by
😋😋😋😋Yesss so Good!! Great Memories!❤️👍🏾
The burgers look amazing. Too bad the dining room is closed due to lack of staff. That seems to be the norm these days. Just today I stopped at Arby's on the way home from work to pick some food up for my son, who wanted that for dinner. There were 3 cars in front of me and we all sat there so long (including the car at the speaker) that I noticed people putting their cars in "park", including myself. Once I finally got up to the speaker, there was a written sign posted there that they were short of staff. It's so sad, what's going on in this country, with staff shortages. The food suffers and the customer suffers. So despite the lack of staff, I hope Elmer's keeps up its good reputation.
Love Elmer's, Bray's, Bates, Telway, but Greene's tops 'em all !!
😀
The one use to be on 6 Mile & Wyoming now a CVS.
Also used to be a Mott's burgers on 6mile & greenfield. The sweet scent of onions stayed in your clothes for hours😂
This place was good. Homemade from the D. ❤❤❤❤
Watching from The Vegas Valley 🌄🌵🏜️🇺🇸🤔❣️👍👍💪

Man the best hamburgers in the city.
I’m going to have to make a trip to the west side cause yeah do they have milkshakes as wells ?
Great Story 👍🏾
Great Fresh Food & Great Service!
Top Hat's reimagined.

Am i misremembering this place? It looks familiar but i swear it was named telways.
They better than sonny
Wasn't there a location on Van Born? There's a similar shaped building that's been closed for remodeling for years.
Soooooo good
I've NEVER heard bout it til 2day n I MIGHT NOT EVEN get 2 bop there n yes those burgers look good...I AIN'T gonna even hold anyone...😑
ive had hunterhouse and telway but ill have to try this place to truly know which place is the best
❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Telway's was my favorite but I'll check them out though next time I'm in the D.
Where is this burger joint located, does anyone know
Read the description...W. Chicago in Detroit
The corner of W Chicago and Oakman Blvd in Detroit
I live right down the street from Elmers
Hamburgers rock! Good job Elmer's!!!!
I pass by this place often when I visit family.
used to stop here when i was kid walking to school.
😂😂😂 you guys are hilarious
Ever hear of Ferrell's in Cadiz KY? I'm banking on Elmer's burgers to be fire!
Kind a looks like Sonny’s on school craft. Is it own by the same people or just coincidence.
Sonnys is better. Grease burgers are the best.
Hell of a lot better than that crap stand telways on mi Ave blahhhhh
Best in the business especially a west side gem
This is HOME!!!;
🎉🎉🎉
