Lansing Restaurants Where You Can Find the Best Olive Burgers

There are some things that are straight up, associated with Michigan. The Great Lakes, the Mackinac Bridge and professional sports teams that don't win. The Olive Burger is also a native to Michigan.

Here's some back ground about the olive burger, Schulers says:

Claims to the invention are varied depending on whom you ask. Some credit the Olympic Broil in Lansing with the creation of the first olive burger in the 1960s, but others say it was made much earlier at an original Kewpee Hotel Hamburgs location in Grand Rapids, MI. This later became the flagship burger of a local burger chain called Mr. Fables.

John Boyles, (the “les” in the Fables name) recalls that his father started putting olives on burgers in the 1930s when Mr. Fables was a Kewpee. The restaurant sold a burger called the Deluxe Sandwich that came with special mayonnaise and chopped olives, and everyone began calling it the olive burger.

I'm a big fan of olives. Black, green, stuffed or kalamata I'll eat em all. I also love burgers, it's only natural that I love an olive burger. The best of both worlds come together. The bite of the green olive sauce adds another level of taste to the already awesome experience. I like to add cheese and bacon to mine.

If you're craving an olive burger, let's find out who has the best olive burger in Lansing according to yelp. The only thing missing from the pics is you and the olive sauce.
