Burnzie's Old Trail — Restaurant in Prairie Township

I am a fan of neighborhood places and dive bars. Burnzies is an excellent combination of the two. We went on a Tuesday night, and it was fabulous. The bartender greeted us when we walked in, and at 5:45, we were the crowd. You know you are in a fun place when they decorate for a holiday. This being October, Holloween was everywhere. The bartender came right over with menus and took our drink requests. The special on Tuesday was a T-bone stake for 13.99. They have a unique special daily and prime rib on Fridays and Saturdays. We ordered the shrimp dinner and a fish sandwich with fries. Our food was up quickly and was delicious. This is a neighborhood place, but everyone was friendly, and our server/bartender was a delight. There was plenty of parking, and the restrooms were immaculate. If you want a new place to try, I highly recommend Burnzies. We will return and cannot wait to see if they decorate for Christmas.

This was our third trip to Burnzie's. Again, the service was fabulous. They are also now decorated for Christman. We had the Italian Sub and the fish sandwich with waffle and regular fries. The waffle fries were outstanding....

Decided to go off the beaten path to Burnzie’s Old Trail Inn. It was a part of history starting out in 1947 as Old Trail Inn. Then the original owner passed away in 2007 and the new owner moved it to it’s present location on S. Grener Road. This is your old time neighborhood bar. Everyone new everyone else. We had gone in for the Prime Rib special that is listed to start at 4 but the time has been changed to 5. No big deal, decided to go ahead and ordered T-Bone steak with Baked Potato and salad and a roll. The salad was small in my opinion but the French dressing was okay. The baked potato was satisfactory but I was hoping that the skin would have had a little substance to it. Now for the steak, had high hopes for it but yet another let down. It was cooked medium but the steak had a large amount of fat and gristle, making it very tough. Server was nice enough but there are other things to work on here. They do do breakfast all day so maybe that would be the...

Two of us had lunch there recently. We switched tables twice trying to find one that didn't wobble and failed in our attempt. I ordered the Fried Bologna Sandwich and my Mother ordered the House Burger. We ordered the Hand Cut Fries to share. She had coffee which she liked and I ordered a Diet Coke which was flat as Kansas! The server brought me the "Last Can" they had to ensure me there would be no refills.

(While waiting I noticed a "tips for kitchen" jar by the pick up window which successfully lowered my expectations!)

My sandwich arrived 4 minutes before my Mother's which allowed it to cool to an unappetizing temperature. At that time the server remembered to put the order in for the House Cut Fries.

8 minutes later soggy potato strips cooked in expilred fry grease reached the table.

Total cost with customary 20% tip?

$27.50
