Taystee's Burgers

"Creative food menus from takeout eateries, originally launched in Dearborn." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Situated in a gas station in Dearborn near the Ford-Wyoming Drive-In are some of the best burgers in metro Detroit. Favorites like the Taystee Special are stacked ridiculously high with coleslaw, fries, a fried egg, tomato, oozing cheddar cheese, and spicy mayo on a brioche bun. All burgers are made with fresh, halal beef on a flat top grill. Recently Taystee’s added a bigger location in Dearborn Heights, minus the gasoline fill-ups that were so darned convenient." - Serena Maria Daniels

"There’s no shortage of great burgers in metro Detroit, but Taystee’s stands out for its halal beef, creative flavor combinations, and unsuspecting location. Like spicy? There’s the Volcano, boasting jalapeno, jalapeno poppers, and spicy mayo. Want breakfast for dinner? The Breakfast Burger has a fried egg, beef bacon, and not one but two grilled cheese sandwiches as a bun." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Taystee’s Burgers — whose award-winning highly-stacked have origins in the back of a Dearborn gas station — is among the many halal-friendly spots that have opened over the years that have helped to redefine the region’s food culture. Now founder Ali Jawad is inviting those interested in developing a restaurant out of a gas station to consider joining the “Taystee’s Family.” Taystee’s began with humble beginnings back in 2014 inside a BP station at 10419 Ford Rd. in Dearborn and went on to gain recognition for its over-the-top creations such as its Notch-Yo-Burger — a behemoth made up of beef bacon, nacho cheese Doritos, pepper jack, Swiss, American, jalapeño, grilled onions, lettuce, and tomato. That monstrosity won Taystee’s the title of Detroit’s Best Burger in the 2016 Detroit Burger Brawl. A full-service Dearborn Heights location followed, along with a 2017 Eater “Cooking in America” Video, and earlier this year, Jawad was recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List." - Serena Maria Daniels
