Michigan Spot Makes List Of Best Local Chains In U.S.

Love Food has revealed the top local chain restaurant in Michigan.

There is a good chance you have already guessed which beloved fast food chain took the top spot on the popular food website’s list of the Best Local Chain Restaurants in Every State, thanks to its broad appeal and dedicated fan base.

If not, here are a few more clues,

• There are six operating locations in Michigan
• There is a new location in the works in Walled Lake
• The fast food restaurant was founded in Flint in 1923
• The hot spot celebrated its 102nd anniversary in 2025

Chances are, you have figured it out by now. Halo Burger has been named Michigan’s Best Local Chain Restaurant by the well-known food site Love Food.

Halo Burger is famous for its olive burger – a juicy quarter-pounder with sliced green olives, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and cheese. Founded in 1923, it's one of the oldest burger chains in the US.

Ask just about any Michigander, and they will tell you it is hard to top the classic combo of a juicy QP Burger, a side of crispy fries, and a refreshing Boston Cooler from Halo Burger. It is a go-to comfort meal that has been satisfying appetites across the state for generations.

Here is a fun Halo Burger fact you may not know: the Birch Run location serves beer. That's right, guests 21 and over can enjoy an ice-cold brew with their meal. It's a unique offering that sets this location apart from the rest.

Congrats to Halo Burger on making the list of the Best Local Chain Restaurants in Every State.
