This Restaurant Makes The Best Burger In MI

MICHIGAN — There is no shortage of places in Michigan to grab a burger, an all-American classic. But connoisseurs who want the best should head to Clyde's Drive-In, according to a new list.

Tasting Table, a food and drink news site, said Clyde's Drive-In "when you cross the bridge and arrive on Michigan's upper peninsula, Clyde's Drive-In is there to greet you with open arms and a big, sloppy burger."

The restaurant, which is located in St Ignace, has a 4.6/5 Google score with moer than 3,500 comments.

"The atmosphere is perfect for these diner-style burgers, a definite must. Don't skip out on the sides, or shakes, totally worth it," one reviewer said.

"Such a cool place. Old school vibes. Amazing old-fashioned burgers. Great shakes," another reviewer said.

"Heard about it a long time and every I know who has gone has hyped it up. Did it live up to the hype? Yes, it did. The burger was good, not paper thin, but not too thick," another reviewer said.

The list includes simple creations from ultra-casual spots and gourmet bites from classy, time-honored establishments.

Americans consume about 50 billion burgers a year, or three burgers a week, whether at a restaurant, from a food truck or at home, according to multiple sources.

Burgers have only been around for about 100 years, but have become a quintessential example of Americana. While the “contentious debate” over which state can claim to be the birthplace of the burger has never been settled, “every state in the U.S. is home to some mind-blowing takes on America's favorite sandwich, from classic iterations with just meat and cheese to towering icons of beefy, saucy, veggie-laden splendor.”

To be considered for the list, burgers had to have amassed some serious recognition among burger lovers, whether with culinary awards, positive reviews or “best of” competitions.

“Many of these eateries are local linchpins with histories dating back nearly a century, while others are newer spots that are rapidly accruing cult followings,” Tasting Table said. “The best burger in each state is subjective, and there are plenty of restaurants around the nation that came close to earning our title of best in the state, but we stand by our top picks. These burgers earned their shining reputation and our vote thanks to unique recipes, top-quality ingredients, or expert burger craftsmanship, and all act as a quintessential example of the one meal that can encapsulate America's culinary history.”
