Met some old( yup) friends at the Pontiac Lake Inn last week to celebrate one of the old farts birthdays. Surprised to find out one of us has never been there. Got the PLI burger, friends got the 3 way(?) To get more cheese. Good burger, good crowd. Sundays the burger with fries and a beverage is under $6. Great deal. Rings are a disappointment. Only flaw.
Solid 4 of 6 today. Most times it has been a 5.

Gas and Cheeseburger
Have heard a few people mention a new burger place in Dearborn. Had to give it a try. Took wife and boy. I didn't tell them it was in a gas station hoping for the surprise. It worked. They we very confused, but it was fun. Crazy small, crazy packed. We waited about 10 minutes to order and it took another 15 for the food to arrive, but it is a solid cheeseburger. They specialize in crazy toppings including Doritos, liquid cheez, and Dearborn knockwurst. The do some weird fry combos too. Cole slaw and BBQ sauce, nacho cheez, grilled onions and their special sauce. All the meat is Halal. If you can get past it being in a gas station and can be patient, is worth the reward. 3 of 5. Shatilla Sweets for dessert was fun. I don't know Middle Eastern baked goods, but it was fun picked out a bunch to try. I highly recommend the honey pretzels. Super cheap, too.
Redcoat Tavern Farmington
Wife, boy and I finally went to the Farmington location. Boy and I got Tavern Burgers. The wife got fried clams and some onion rings. Everything is excellent. Minor complaint everything is slightly less done then ordered. i.e. Medium well is medium and medium is medium rare. Slightly more hoity toity than the Woodward location, but still dark and mildly crowded. Not as dark. Not as crowded. Fried clams were fresh tasting and not the Gordon Foods style you usually run into. Burgers are thick juicy and came quickly. Onion rings are among the best in the area. Slightly pricey, but worth it.
