I have been a long-time patron of the 44th Street SE restaurant, for the olive burger combo. The hamburger itself is blah, but the olive sauce is great. The last two times in a row I got soggy fries. Today when I asked if the fries were crispy, I was told they are always the same. Yeah, right. So, he asked me if I wanted extra-crispy, I agreed(was at the drive thru). When I get home, I see they are the same stale fries, just dunked back in the oil for a minute. Awful! I think I have finally reached my limit with them.

Yeah, so it’s called«Mr Burger». We all know what we’re in for when we eat at a place called«Mr Burger». It is just about one or two steps up from true fast food for pretty much the same price(you get ceramic plates!). The food is pretty decent, but again, it is called«Mr Burger». I think some of the charm is nostalgia for me. As some people have mentioned, it has a cafeteria/nursing home type feel. That seems a little harsh, but just a little. It reminds me of a lot of restaurants when I was younger. I actually did see«Mr Burger» himself(I sh$t you not!) eating at Mr Burger one day. I know because his picture was on the wall as part of a newspaper article, so I knew it was him. I’m assuming Mr Burger is fairly well off given his successful chain of restaurants. He was all dressed up with his wife and another older couple on a sunday morning. So, I ask you. If Mr Burger is good enough for Mr Burger, his special lady friend, and their friends… what’s your problem? Surprisingly, the burgers are lacking in my opinion, considering the name of the place is «Mr Burger». The grilled cheese are perfect, it’s one of the few places in Michigan you can find a breaded pork tenderloin which is good, and the chicken sandwiches are pretty decent. The grilled cheese are perfect. This place is good for a low-key, fast, inexpensive, bite to eat when you want diner food. You probably won’t be seen by anybody, so sweat pants are fine.

This is one store of a local chain that has been around for years. The do offer breakfast and although it is adequate, there is nothing remarkable here. Their burgers are what they are known for, and they are good. I like the deluxe version and they do it well here. I have tried their hot dogs and chili dogs and can’t recommend them if you are seeking something special. The exterior is well maintained. The interior is in need of a remodel/redecorating. Definitely showing it’s age. Plenty of parking outside and a drive thru if you are on the move.

This place was outside the norm and the food was decent; I figure I will be back sometime. The general appearance(from outside or in) won’t persuade you to swing in — but you never know until you try and I have had some of my best meals I’m less than stellar looking restaurants. It is a cafeteria feel set up with how you order, rack your dishes and utensils, etc. almost reminiscent of how the old Ponderosa’s used to be. What I like is you can see them making the food on the line and it adds the perception of general freshness to the order. I had the Olive Burger which was satisfyingly good. I hadn’t had one in a long time and they are not always easy to find. The burger its self was not unique or out of this world but they have a great sauce from my take. My kids had breakfast items and the pancakes had a bit of a unique twist on the batter. They weren’t just those generic flop cakes you get at a Denny’s or somewhere. The sausages the same — more unique than generic. My mom was visiting and had the Fish and said it was tasty. For the price(about $ 20for four of us) it was worth the stop. This isn’t going to win awards — let’s be clear. But, for honest food at a decent price. Good — quick service; this is an average place to frequent and I suspect you won’t go terribly wrong. I’ll stop again.

Best burger in the area. Not saying much because food sucks in West Michigan. But, I found his place to be pretty okay.

With a name like Mr. Burger, I thought I should stick to what they do best and get what they are well-known for, the Olive Burger. I found the patty flavorsome, the sesame seed bun was soft, and with a generous helping of olives mixed in with the mayo sauce, I scarfed my burger down quickly. The consistently of the olive-mayo sauce was a bit runny, proving to be difficult to eat but was otherwise tasty, with just a slight zing to it. Other reviewers have raved about the fries. Sadly, I can’t share in the love; my unsalted fries were dry and overly crispy. I went through the drive– thru and found the service to be speedy. When I have more time, I’ll dine in to get a feeling of what that experience is like.

There is a Mr. Burger close to where I grew up and also close to my grandmas house, so I’ve pretty much been going to Mr. Burger since I learned how to chew. This place exemplifies«don’t judge a book by its cover». Sure, the décor is reminiscent of a cafeteria at a retirement home, including creepy clown paintings they prolly pulled out of a dumpster, but that’s part of the charm! Who cares what a place looks like if the food is awesome!?! I’d eat in a place that looks like a serial killers dark dingy lair if the food was off the chain! In my opinion Mr. Burger is the best cheap and greasy burgers around. There may be better burgers at fancy-shmancy sit down restaurants, but I’ll take a Mr. Triple with cheese any day. The warm grease is like getting a hug from the inside. I just try to limit my Mr. Burger intake so my Mr. Triples don’t lead to triple by-pass!

Although I do love this place I just wanted to say I am disappointed that the past few times I have been here they have been giving less fries. 2 visits ago I literally had about 15 fries in my bag. I called and was told I could get a replacement within 2 weeks. When I went back in the cashier made me feel weird about the situation — as if I made it up to get free food. I still love the burgers & fries here but that was a bit of a let down for me.

There are bones mixed in the meat! Plus, they did not put anything on it, when I ordered everything, and you don’t ever get tomato, mayo, or lettuce. Regular item Menue items were not available. Manager laughed about all this! Try BK for less than half the price with all the fixings!

This place rules! Extremely fast, super tasty. We go here often for breakfast, they have the best sausage links known to man! Omelets are very tasty(though simple). Staff is friendly and the food is reliably, consistently great!

Double-bacon cheeseburger deluxe is my new favorite burger here and as always the American fries rock. Breakfast is also great and cheap.

As I’m making my way across Michigan, I’m in search for the BEST Olive Burger in the state. I would give the Olive Burger here a «meh» — it’s not bad, but it’s not great. The place is very Denny’s meets joint/dive/diner, which is a little better than Denny’s, but not by much. I do LOVE the cold glass cabinets that allow you to take your own piece of pie — that rocks. And, while I am not a fan of Mince Meat, I did spy a slice or two of this pie in the case — making this undoubtably one of the few places you can order this little retro treat. I think I’d come back for breakfast and give it another shot.
