Department of Deliciousness, September 2017 The Department often goes off the beaten path to obtain simple yet classic foods. Telway System has been in business since the 1940s and restaurants do not persist like this unless they are delicious. We visited late in the evening...because we needed late night eats. We sat at 2 of the few stools and were pleasantly advised to do takeout due to the cheaper prices. We obliged and happily walked out with 3 cheeseburgers, fries and 3 fresh donuts for under $10! The burgers were simple - savory meat patties grilled with onions, melted yellow cheese and a soft bun. The first one was eaten without ketchup for evaluation purposes and it was completely satisfactory. Fries were real potatoes - fresh, hot and crispy fried with just the right amount of salt. The restaurant is thoughtful enough to serve Coca Cola which is the only soda (pop) endorsed by the Department. Although the area is rough around the edges, the Department wholly approves of this value restaurant! It will be worth your time and money to visit.More

Cheeseburger (sliders) - YUM...Onion rings - oy vey - YUM YUM Even the mini fish sandwiches are good. I was driving by and said to myself, hmmm THIS looks like I gotta try it. Just wishing it was closer than a 2 hour plane ridge...for me, haha. Definitely check it out.More

This is old school Detroit burger place, very small, a little grungy, in a bit of a sketchy neighborhood. Not bad in the daytime. Used to be dozens of similar places all over Detroit area. Like a White Castle, but has its own taste and...gritty personality. Sliders are small real meat patties cooked on a surprisingly small flat top along with onions, thrown onto a steamed bun. Four burgers for $3 ! Cheese a little extra. Order a bagful, but might take a few minutes due to the small cooking area and large orders. Reputation for great coffee. A blast from the past!More

Almost every time I work in Detroit I try to stop at Telway......great sliders, cheap coffee, great fries, tasty donuts and some of the most entertaining fellow customers one could ever hope for. Every visit is an adventure!!
