Naked Burger - Gourmet Burgers & Craft Bar — Restaurant in Clinton Township

This is not your typical burger joint. I LOVE THE LATE NIGHT SMASH. As you enter you see a very cozy well thought out bar area with comfortable seating. The decor is very inviting. This is a casual elevated restaurant that offers the top shelf crafted cocktails from an amazing bar and the best burgers out there! They serve grass-fed, dry-aged Piedmontese beef and other assorted menu items. The fries and chips are delish! At times a Wagyu special too! We have now lost count on how often we have dined here.

Second time to dine here. If you are on the fence just try them out! The burgers are just delicious. That yummy beef taste and texture of what beef used to be like! There are a selection of burgers with sandwiches created with a variety of beef and lamb.A few chicken sandwiches, crafted sandwiches and a big person style grilled cheese(lol) I will be trying at my third visit. They use beef tallow in their fryer so everything tastes amazing. Fried sides sell at a shareable price. The feta fries are yummy. It is always a pleasure to receive a dish that is different from the norm! The short rib nachos are amazing too. The beef melts like cotton candy with great crispy nachos that hold up to their toppings. Just added a tad of salt. We have had the bacon me crazy burger and smash burgers. Both are amazing. They have gluten free burger buns. My partner had the Tarzan cocktail and a whisky sour. The bar tenders rock mixed craft cocktails here and use egg whites in the sours demonstrating old school crafting. Lemonade is okay. Variety of milkshakes with and without alcohol. Great for singles , date night or family dining with a nice size bar to dine at or try a craft cocktail. Staff is very approachable and attentive. They are just open from a remodel. The inside is higher end looking than what you would think for a burger location but this is more than just a burger! I have always said ,”I would rather eat a great cheeseburger than a steak because finding a great burger does not happen that often and when it does, you just have to go for it !” There is a level of darkened elegance with a relaxed vibe. Great place to unwind and dine after a hard work week! They are trying a new menu and items. At times they may run out of a product ,however, in keeping everything fresh from scratch this can happen. I will go with their flow for food that is freshly prepared by a business that cares. If I were to pick a restaurant this reminds me of it would be Regale Craft Food in that the food is always freshly prepared from scratch with respect and served in a cozy relaxing environment. Your choices are not necessarily all small plates here ,however, every bit is worth it. Just divide everything up and pass multiple dishes around. They do not have a large dining room and seating has moved well. My double patty smash burger with house made chips is my fav! Naked Burger uses Grass-Fed Dry-Aged Piedmontese Beef which is tasty and juicy. Their buns are yummy too! Old school quality and amazing flavor...

A Night to Remember at Naked Burger

Last night, my girlfriend and I decided to try Naked Burger in Clinton Township, and it was an experience worth sharing! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a modern yet cozy atmosphere with a touch of elegance that sets it apart from your typical burger joint.

The Food

We started with the Hand Battered Mozzarella Sticks, which were absolutely phenomenal. These weren't your average mozzarella sticks - they were enormous, perfectly battered, and served with a delicious housemade marinara sauce. The fact that they're made from scratch rather than coming from a food service truck really shows in their quality and taste.

For our main course, I ordered the Moroccan Burger - a delicious ground lamb patty topped with red pepper spread, tabouli, sumac onion, and toum aioli. The combination of flavors was extraordinary, with the lamb being perfectly cooked and seasoned. My girlfriend went with the Bacon Me Crazy burger, which features white onion, pickles, candied bacon, aged white cheddar, and grain mustard aioli. She couldn't stop raving about how the sweetness of the candied bacon perfectly complemented the savory elements of the burger.

Both burgers came with their housemade chips, which were a delightful alternative to traditional fries.

The Drinks

The cocktail program at Naked Burger deserves special mention. I started with The Boulevard, which was expertly crafted. My girlfriend's Dulce Fuego had the perfect balance of sweetness and heat.

For our final round, I went with the Espresso Martini - a perfect after-dinner drink that was both rich and smooth. My girlfriend ordered the Painkiller, a refreshing blend of rum, pineapple, coconut, orange, and nutmeg that transported us straight to a tropical paradise.

The Service

Our bartender/server Carlton was the highlight of our evening. His attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and friendly demeanor enhanced our dining experience significantly. He offered excellent recommendations and ensured our glasses were never empty.

Final Thoughts

Naked Burger isn't just another burger place - it's a destination for food lovers who appreciate quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. They use Grass-Fed Dry-Aged Piedmontese Beef in their burgers, which delivers an exceptional flavor and juiciness. Everything is made from scratch, and the attention to detail is evident in every bite.

Whether you're looking for a casual dinner or a special night out, Naked Burger delivers an exceptional experience that will have you planning your next visit before you even leave. We'll definitely be back to try more of their creative...

My son is a burger and pizza fanatic who is always up for trying different places he finds. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! He made a reservation when we arrived we were told to sit in a nice booth to the left of the hostess counter as we go to sit a server came and said that we should sit at a table being booths are for bigger parties, not a problem as I’ve been in The restaurant business for over 25 years that’s understandable. We were greeted, given water and ordered our appetizers, onion rings and mozzarella sticks, as we wait a party of 4 was seated at the booth we were told to move from mind you we are a four person party, that was disturbing. I wanted to ask why but my son said no biggie let’s eat. After a 20 minute wait for apps when they arrive at the table the onion rings were extremely greasy after getting the severs attention we told her we’d rather order another order of mozzarella sticks instead but we were discouraged by the server she said that would take too long, never heard that before. So as we wait patiently another 25 minutes for our food we weren’t asked if we needed refills or more water but saw other tables apologized to for the wait and brought rounds of drinks and waters, also disturbing. When the food came all the fries were cold, my 2 grandchildren who are like my son in the burger and pizza department barely touched their food, the naked burger, their fries were cold also. After flagging the server down to get refills she only bought 3 and I had to get up twice to get her attention for us to get service! When I say it took everything in me not to find the manager and complain it was a horrible experience from the vibe to the food. Our family dynamic is different and I know that when we walk into a restaurant with children (server dislike) they assume low tip not realizing you should never judge a book by its cover. As a person in the industry my tips start at 25% with a holiday approaching I know that an extra blessing is always appreciated but for the first time that didn’t happen because of the total disregard for us as customers. I don’t see this business being around much longer, definitely won’t try a place in a shopping...
