Everybody loves a hamburger. As a fast, convenient, and filling meal the humble hamburger just can’t be beaten. Over 50 billion hamburgers are consumed in the US every year. Here in Flint, MI, we’re doing our part to keep the hamburger at the top of the charts. We have some of the best burger joints in the state right here in our city. These are our recommendations for the best burgers in town.
Starlite Burger and Coney Shop
Starlite has been a fixture since 1966. Several generations have grown up since the first burger hit the grill here, but the quality, portion size, and great atmosphere are still
he same. This food icon of our city is still family-owned. Their hamburger menu isn’t large, but they have a burger option for everyone.
You can try the Starlite burger, their basic burger that started the store. For something different, we recommend the spicy Baja burger, a delicious quarter pounder with mustard, onions, pickles, pepper jack, jalapenos, and bacon.
Service is very fast. You can dine in, but they also have takeout. Parking can be a slight problem, but that’s just because it’s so popular! Wait a minute or two, and a parking space will open up. Starlite is located at 1500 N Center Rd, Burton, and is open 24/7.
Halo Burger
Flint’s very own hamburger chain. The first store opened here in 1923, and the company now has eight locations and a food truck around central Michigan. Halo has eleven great burger choices, from the quarter pounder to the BLT cheddar burger. Vegetarians have an option we love, the black bean burger. This plant-based burger really hits the spot. If you fancy a meatier option, we recommend the double quarter pounder which will fill you up.
The original Halo is located at 800 S Saginaw St. and is open Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm.
Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers
This burger joint is a place you just have to try. It has slick, modern décor and TVs in all the upper corners to provide background sports. Their burgers are fantastic, and they have an incredible variety of 44 toppings you can choose from. There are eleven basic burgers, five specialty burgers, and the option to build your burger exactly as you want it. Our favorite is the fire burger, with jalapeno chilies, pepper jack cheese, sriracha mayo, onion straws, lettuce, and tomato.
It’s not all about the beef though you can also choose from turkey, chicken, salmon, and black bean. All patties are hand-made onsite. Vegetarian burgers are available, and there’s a vegan option with a vegan bun too. Freakin’ can be found at 5100 Corunna Rd. They’re open from 10.30 am Monday to Saturday, and from 11 am on Sunday.
After you’ve enjoyed iconic food, you need to check out an iconic car. Come for a test drive at Randy Wise Chevrolet. Our family-owned dealership has been proudly serving Flint since 1989.
