TMD reflects on popular
joint, Quickie Burger
Beer and burger
restaurant closed
for business
By ROB DALKA
Daily Staff Reporter
Earlier this summer, while most
of the student population was
away, Quickie Burger quietly shut
its doors and boarded its windows.
The manager, who made very lit-
tle information about the closing
available, did not reply to efforts for
comment, so patrons of the burger
joint can’t do much more than
reflect upon their memories.
Quickie Burger opened in 2008
at State and Hill streets. Situated
near plenty of student housing, it
quickly became a popular burger
joint among University of Michigan
students. Some of Quickie Burger’s
busiest days were Saturday home
football games when thousands
of passing tailgaters would stop to
grab food.
Quickie Burger was not the most
critically acclaimed burger place in
Ann Arbor, but it was still able to
attract lines out the door. In a 2009
MLive food review, Alan Warren
wrote Quickie Burger had inherent
appeal despite tough competition.
“Don’t get us wrong,” War-
ren wrote. “If we were a college
student looking for a reasonably
cheap, post-bar feed chased with a
Pabst Blue Ribbon, or, say, a Jaeger
Bomb, we’d likely be in line with
the rest of the students at 2 a.m.”
Alongside other late-night hot
spots, Quickie Burger held its own.
Students flocked to the restaurant
for pitchers of beer and stacked
burgers, both before and after
going out. Quickie Burger was a
lively place that many students
remember fondly.
Information
rising
senior
Miguel Martinez found Quickie
Burger before his first year at the
University and was impressed with
what the burger joint had to offer.
“A friend introduced me to
Quickie one day during freshman
orientation,” Martinez said.
“They asked me if I wanted their
secret sauce with my burger and I
was conflicted but my friend urged
me to try it, along with their sig-
nature fries. Needless to say, I was
floored.”
Others, like Engineering ris-
ing senior Jonatan Hervoso, who
shared his thoughts in an email
interview with The Daily, found
Quickie Burger to be a place of con-
venience and tradition.
“I heard about quickie burger
(sic) for the first time during my
freshman year and a few friends
and I started going pretty fre-
quently after rugby practice,” Her-
voso wrote.
Quickie Burger had a signature
vibe. There was no divider between
the cash register and the kitchen,
revealing the cooks flipping burg-
ers and working the fryers. Beer
taps lined the wall alongside a row
of liquor. Stools sat across from the
register counter, facing the window
along State Street. One might not
see it at first, but around the corner
there were stairs that led down to
a basement with table seating and
televisions in each corner of the
room. According to Quickie Burger
patrons, the restaurant was small
but friendly. It was often boisterous
but still a great place to eat a burger
and have some fun with friends,
Quickie Burger fans told The Daily.
Quickie Burger was not fine dining,
but never set out to be.
“There wasn’t much that I dis-
liked other than maybe the clean-
liness of the bathrooms,” Hervoso
wrote. “However I always appreci-
ated quickness of service and qual-
ity of food, again cheap but good.”
Now the building sits empty and
quiet, with cardboard taped to the
inside of the windows. No more
burgers will be flipped or pitchers
of beers consumed in the crowded
basement. For many, it is a sad
sight, and there is no doubt many
students will be caught off guard
without the State Street staple
upon their return this fall.
Most patrons of Quickie Burger
were unaware of the initial closing.
For Martinez, it was surprising and
saddening news.
