Great atmosphere, very divey, full of students and townies. I just don't get the attraction of the burgers. They are small, greasy and basically once you put good toppings on sort of tasteless. That said, there are legions of folks who swear by the food. They do make nice ice sculptures outside in the winter. more

Aside from being an Ann Arbor institution - Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger still has amazingly tasty burgers (love the onions and blue cheese), great onion rings and fried veggies. Loads of grease, but you don't go here on a diet! And by the way - yes they're sort of rude, but that's part of the charm and it makes the... more

Take it from this long time Ann Arbor resident, now living elsewhere. This is the greatest place on earth. When I die, I'm going to Blimpy Burgers. I'm 52 now, but when I was 19, the discovery of this place changed my life. I ate there all the time as a student. In those days it truly was "cheaper than... more

As my handle implies, I'm a bit of a burger person. I've had some great ones across the country, and the ones at Blimpy Burger hold their own. The meat is exceptional: fresh, never frozen, ground twice. The grilled toppings are a must. Onion rings are the best I've ever had--not all the extra breading like you're used to. The... more

Cashier 1;30 - 2;30pm. told someone on phone to come and stand in line like everyone else. My Mother was cold and not feeling stedy on her feet. They had at least 6 empty tables inside. told her to go seat down where the air would not hit her. She did and was told that was for his best paying... more

Be prepared to be brainwashed by people that think this place is all that. I've been there twice. The first time i was blown away, probably because it was my first time being there. There were also nicer people working then. I went there recently. The service was very bad. They gave me a bun with raw hamburger meat on... more

Health code violations abound! I just ate there with my girlfriend. Now she has a nasty case of food poisoning. It was most likely brought-on by the staff not cleaning the grill or their cooking utensils. I was not impressed with the quality of the food at all. It is most definitely NOT the advertised "Best Burger in Town." The... more

Great buger. Blimpy virgins should beware of ordering your burger. Follow the posted directions... I like a triple with an egg and blue cheese. The onion rings are FANTASTIC. more
