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.
