Howell's Bar, Dearborn
We were dubious about the raves we heard from readers like Steve Webber, who called it "hands down the best burger in the metro area." But this Cheers-like neighborhood joint in west Dearborn, established in 1941, is a real find. Howell's luscious half-pound hand-patted burgers are second to none, especially when grill man Jimmy Lessnau is on duty. He cooks 'em slowly, and they turn out so juicy you need extra napkins. With or without grilled onions and cheese, they're delicious. (Fries don't count in our best-burgers roundup, but we loved these dark-fried, hand-cut beauties.) Place your order at the bar. Prices are amazing. Hamburger, $3.75.

And the kitchen makes your creation look great, no matter how over the top you've topped it. Base prices include one cheese, four regular toppings and one sauce; additional charges for extra items. Hamburger (one-third pound): $7.99.
