Pro tip: The napkins are pretty straight forward in being of bar/tavern type construction . Nice and sturdy enough with no frills simplicity. 10/10 Would wipe mouth again.

Marvin

Cool place. The burger was as advertised. Very juicy, the burger was hot and the lettuce, onion , tomato was crisp and cold. I had the Government cheese burger (stuffed with cheese ). bomb.com

The bartenders here are always HUGE pricks. I think that's part of the, uh, charm? I still keep coming back because the burgers , the sangria , and the free retro dance parties cannot be beat.

Lily

the queso jalapeno burger with chronic fries was amazing! i was also happy to see the vegan/vegetarians options for my friends too!

Jessica Russell

We love this place. Awesome retro atmosphere & best burgers & bar food. BUT when they're BUSY & they have a backroom bar w/booths & tables for WAITING ONLY that's BS. We'll leave if not seated soon.

Mindi Lu

The music is awesome. Great playlist of songs, packed with classics! Make sure you go in the right door otherwise you'll push your way to the crowd to get to the hostess !

Stephanie Anne McCarthy

Vegan options , stuffed burgers , killer beers , local art , pinball machines , oldschool shows. LETS GOOOO

Dan Banta

vegan burgers at a bar...old time retro arcade games ....cartoons and old TV shows....it's not a tavern, it's an experience!

Martijn Sijtsma

Loved the burgers and the large selection of beers , had a great IPA . Cool vibe, also with the arcades . ????

CavaFatima Satchell

The burgers were phenomenal , and the fries were delicious, i had a gov't cheese burger . Then played a little pinball , what's better than that?

Andy Ritter

Absolutely love stellas. The punch is great. Burgers are fantastic. I love the shows on tv but have never played the games.

Dave C

200 whiskies , from bourbon to Canadian, Irish and Scotch ; from $4 to $50, whatever your taste or mood, they have it.

Jen Fox

BURGERS. Cheap old school beers and usually a few MI drafts as well . Also, the deep fried avocado Nugents are legit.

You need to come here on Thursdays for half of stuffed burgers and dance night. Then come here and dance your booty off on Friday and Saturday night as well .

Kristen Jeffery

A great place for a date night ! My husband always tries the managers choice burger , which changes frequently! Yum!

Mary M Motta

I was stoked to try the burgers here after hearing all the hype. After waiting for more than an hour, we got seated. Service was decent. Burger meat contained hair... not awesome. But the scotch !

Elizabeth Nydam

It took the literally 25 minuets to get me my takeout fries behind the bar . When they finally decided to hand them to me the bartender rolled his eyes at me. Get it together stellas!

Ryan Sciaino

Great bar food. Great drink selection. Great video games in the back. Great times.

Dawn Toukkala

They got rid of all their foursquare specials, you cant sit at viceroy and order from stellas so you have to wait an hr for a table and you have to order a drink to get the burger special on thursday

Colin Clive

Every Thursday DJ.Colin.Clive spins a mix of retro , industrial, alternative, synth pop, punk, 80's & indie tunes in the side room! 10-2. No Cover.

Dre

All the whiskeys you could dream of and some of the best burgers in the state

Henry Kuhfeldt

It's a shame, they've started carding for entrance, whether it's for drinking or even just ordering a burger . They're off our list of places to take friends when they visit.

Doug Nowiski

I have friends that work here, but even so, it's nice to have a bar that 1) doesn't play fucking sports on the TVs and 2) plays good music all day

Nicole LaRae

Genesee Cream Ale and blessed black wings. Andrew is a sweetpea and nice to look at. Donkey Kong frustrates me but I continue to give it all of my laundry money.

Kermit Harris

Come out for the FREE retro dance parties every Thursday Friday and Saturday

Jon Dunn

Vegan hot dog , side of chili . Extensive Ms. Pac Man against your significant other. You have yourself a perfect evening.

Ryan Thomas

You can't go wrong with anything here! Amazing burgers and 200 different whiskey 's :)

Justin Locke

Fantastic find, old arcade , cool setup, solid beer selection and atmosphere

Awesome Mitten

Named home of America's Best Burger in GQ Magazine! We definitely recommend the bleu cheese stuffed burger - excellent! Read more

Benjamin Blackmer

Burgers are the thing. Well , the bourbon selection is extensive. Try something new.

Dave C

Their spicy chili rocks! It isn't too spicy but it has a kick so if spice isn't your thing be sure to ask for sour cream !

Shawn Kelly

Great Burgers and Fries . Old School Video Games are great too.

Lauren H

Sit at the bar to avoid the wait and get the best service. Love everything about this place.

Jessica Russell

Their chilli is outstanding! It's HOT so be prepared. The chilli Chronic Fries are to legendary!

Brittany Zemaitis

Be sure to come in on Thursday for $5 dollar burger night . Also on Sunday for Sh!t Show Karaoke .

Courtney Mora

Remember when Stellas used to have a plethora of vegan food ? Well , atleast the bloody mary bar is good and they play good cartoons.

Jennifer D

The gov't cheese burger is the best burger I've ever had. It was perfect!

Nathan Gale

Had the hot stuff burger . If you like your burgers spicy , this one is for you.

Kristin Weis

This place has gotten rid of a lot of their vegan sandwiches and the food has gone down in quality since I first started coming here years ago. Still decent, just not great.

Nathan Gates

Best burger in America! Get the Stella Blue with chronic fries .
