Mason's Bar and Grille
13490 Farmington Road
Livonia, MI


Mason's is the first location outside of the City of Detroit that I will be writing about.  I have been going to Mason's since 1976.  It is located on the northern edge of the Livonia industrial corridor that cuts through, east to west, the center of Livonia.

There are several burger bars in the Detroit area and Mason's is among my top 6.  Although they have a fairly extensive menus of snacks, appetizers, sandwiches and salads, their main attraction and what they have been known for is their burger. 

By being located in this industrial park area, Mason's has a very unique interior motif.  Livonia's industrial park, during the '60's - '90's, was the location of several small, medium and large companies including several that supported or were run by the Detroit 3.  Displayed in Mason's are several hundred company signs/logos of these companies.  Some of the companies are still in business, others like the one I worked for back in '76, are long gone.  This is your typical blue collar oasis, although not in a roughneck sort of way.  It is not uncommon to see families, sport teams and old friends hanging out at this establishment.

Mason's offer a good variety of cheese and toppings to customize your burger to suit your tastes.  The hamburgers they grille are consistently good; just don't expect gourmet dining as the hamburgers are served on paper plates. :)

If you are looking for a outstanding bar burger in the Livonia area, I highly recommend sampling the burgers at Mason's.
