Mr. Burger 6

Cool little divey burger joint outside Grand Rapids. Reminds me of Halo Burger, with some fresh-​grilled meat, good attention to customer experience, and a broad selection of pies. It looks a bit no-​frills, and for being a very clean place still comes across as a greasy spoon experience. But I could totally see this as the place to meet friends or family for a reunion or after the big game. Cavernous seating area means they’ll likely run out of food before running out of places to sit. Not the best food I ever had; but a neat little taste of Americana experience.

Looks a little bit like a cafeteria… it’s not. All food from the grill is cooked fresh on order, baked goods are pretty dank, and the breakfast is one of the best in the area. The caramel apple pie is the whip.

Breakfast is great and so is the service, but at night it’s a different story. They had a sign advertising malts, sm, med, lg. My wife and daughter went through the drive through and ordered 2 medium malts. She was told (lectured actually) that Mr. Burger does not sell medium malts. My wife informed the drive-​thru attendant that the sign said medium malts and the drive through attendant accused her of lying and started being very nasty. My wife then ordered a small malt but the girl just wouldn’t let it go. She continued to harass my wife.
My wife was so upset that she never even thought of asking for the manager. It probably wouldn’t have done any good anyway. Bad employees never get fired for being rude to customers. For all I know it could have been the manager herself at the drive thru. My wife says she will never set foot in Mr. burger again.

I had the gyro, ok but hardly anything on it,. Mr. Burger should check with Eastern Deli in SE Grand Rapids, to see how they should be made. My friend had a meal with bacon, it looked like play food. I didn’t see much for special appearance on a meal, just functional, I guess. would I go back, probably not for a gyro, maybe try a paper thin burger next time!!!

When you walk in Mr. Burger appears to be the average affordable cafeteria style restaurant. But looks can be deceiving and in fact are in this case. Sure, you can get your standard American fare but here the burgers are fresh off the grill. They are cooked to order when you order as are the fries and onion rings. And that makes ALL the difference. A very juicy and delicious difference.
I can totally recommend the Mr. O which consists of a double burger with the Midwest original green olive spread. It must be tried to be fully appreciated. And the onion rings were very good.
Mr. Burger has breakfast choices, various sandwich choices, shakes, and pie.
A drive-​thru is available for convinience.
