Burger Restaurants in Michigan

When Guy Fieri brought his red Camaro rolling through Michigan between 2007 and 2014, he uncovered some seriously impressive burger joints that have kept locals coming back for more. Across four featured restaurants spanning from Ann Arbor to the small-town charm of Potterville, the Mitten State proved it knows a thing or two about crafting the perfect patty.

Leading the pack is Union Wood Shop in Clarkston, earning a stellar 4.5-star rating with burgers that had Guy reaching for the superlatives. Down in Potterville, Joe’s Gizzard City serves up more than just its namesake specialty—their burgers earned a well-deserved 4.3 stars and a coveted spot on the show. With an average rating of 4.4 stars across all featured spots and every single restaurant still open and thriving, Michigan’s burger scene has staying power.

Whether you’re cruising through Clarkston, which claims two Triple D appearances, or venturing to Ann Arbor’s food-forward streets, these Guy-approved destinations deliver the kind of flavorful, no-frills American cooking that made the show a phenomenon.
