    Warning: Addictive sliders ahead. Get burgers, dogs, chicken sandwiches, fries, & pies 24/7. Good milkshakes too. You know, life's basic necessities! In 20+ years they have never messed up a single order from me. FYI, The Telway is no longer "cash only". The now accept credit and debit cards for payment. They are, however, carry out only for now. If you plan on eating in your vehicle bring some paper plates. Your vehicle will appreciate you for that!

    Nice little hole in the wall that serves sliders, dogs, and fries. I think it seats about 10-15 but I never eat it. I sit in the car probably because I don't want people to see me destroy the burgers. Food is made to order so its always hot. You're going to wait a while but it's worth it. After over 10 years of eating there 5 star status still.

    Gem of a place that would fit in with the great slider huts in NJ. Tiny building, takeout only these days. So very inexpensive, but so, so good (and likely really bad for you). In addition to sliders -- I recommend getting doubles, limiting roll intake -- they make a delicious coney, and the onion rings are actual onions and so, very tasty. They do get busy, but the woman taking orders was so sweet, and they work so hard in the kitchen. The smells, oh man, I can still smell the deliciousness.

    Ordered 16 hamburgers and 15 cheeseburgers. Took less than 10 minutes and they were all delicious. 31 hamburgers a small fry and a small coffee cost about $52

    Saw this place while driving by and said "why not". This is my new baseline for a good meal. Support this local spot over McDonald's or Burger King next time you want fast food. Simple and filling sliders on the cheap with the best chili fries I've found around town. I walked out with a meal for the family around $12. It looks old because of the decor, but they take cleanliness seriously. Service was very fast too.

    Small building right on the corner, the inside wasn't open to sit down and eat so we got takeout. The Coney was different it wasn't a beef dog. The burger was my favorite thing and would go out of my way to get another burger.

    Good sliders, lots of fries, and people working there have a good sense of humor. Relax, the burgers are worth it!

    No frills, and nothing fancy, but a damn good burger, and one of the best coffees around. Been a Telway customer since I was a kid at the Detroit location, but hit this one every time I am in the area. 4 cheeseburgers w/everything and a fish tarter and hot sauce. You can thank me later.

    Had a good experience with the service. Burgers come with onions but they took them off for me and these burgers were delicious. The Chilli cheese fries were awesome and so crunchy.

    Delicious hamburgers at a good price. I went there for lunch after a Doctor appointment and treated My Wife. She and I Both like the food. The Servers were very friendly and Professional. They are now open 24 hours a day. I would recommend this business to Anyone. I hope that this helps.

    Incredible as always. Staff is great and the burgers are the stuff dreams are made of. Bummer that the inside dining is closed. Not their fault though, the takeout window is crushing it!

    I met this restaurant in 1985 and I've never had anything better. I love the food, it's perfect, I think the service was spot on. The atmosphere was totally awesome and I will always appreciate it very much. Thank you for the many years of servicing me and my family. I recommend you stop there and enjoy the great meal. I hope for many years to come.

    The food isn't bad it's not my absolute favorite what keeps bringing me back are those delicious chocolate milkshakes. By far the best milkshakes around if you ask me. And the service is always good they always have smiles on their faces very friendly and attentive

    I have been eating Telways since I was a child and they use to have little jukeboxes along the window seats. It's very nostalgic for me. They are the best! A must for anyone visiting the area. Cheeseburgers and chili cheese fry. All day long! Growing up in this area and the only thing that hasn't changed is this place. Literally the same in every way. Never change, Telway. We love you!!!!! P.S. Telways is 100% better than Brays or Hunter House. No contest.

    Great place for tiny burgers!! I forgot I used to come here with my mom, when I was younger. I started to eat one and the memories came back. The greatest!! Told my mom and she was like really, u forgot, i love her! I had to taste it to remember. It's great to know you all have not changed.

    This place is a staple of Madison Heights. Because they are (usually) open 24 hours a day, you can always get lunch, dinner, or a late night snack. They keep their prices low so you can fill up without breaking the bank. Everything I've had here has been simply delicious.
