Lake Burger

By Richard Martinovich

We buy local products when we can. It helps our economy, and with food, it is a healthier choice. When produce doesn’t have to travel far, nutrients can stay intact. Relationships with local poultry and beef producers not only provide a reliable source, but a restaurant can know what animals are being fed and how they are treated.

Lake Burger has gone the extra mile to build strong and lasting relationships with area suppliers.

Carlson Farms in Lawton supplies Lake Burger with non-GMO, antibiotic and hormone-free beef from animals pastured and humanelyraised. Produce is from Crisp Country Acres Farm in Holland. Buns are made fresh by Renzema’s Bakery in Parchment.

Quality local ingredients really come out on the menu at Lake Burger. Taste it in the Lake Burger and Double Lake Burger; two pasture raised patties. Customers have taken note! “Best burgers in town!” exclaimed one as he placed his order!

There is no mass production at Lake Burger. Fries are hand cut, and come with housemade ketchup and aioli -- mashed garlic, olive oil and salt! Shakes are hand spun with Plainwell Ice Cream! Malt your shake for free!

Lake Burger Tavern on Westnedge Avenue is their second location. The original owner sold Lake Burger on West Main to a friend, but both are committed to utilizing the same local producers. Lake Burger Tavern serves alcoholic beverages from Detroit City Distillery, which also uses locally sourced ingredients. There are weekly specials at each location and additional items are continually being added to the menus: Hotdogs, sandwiches, salads and desserts!

Really hungry and up for a challenge? The Hungry Boi Challenge on the Lake Burger West Main menu might be for you!
