When in mid-michigan go to Halo Burger for this olive burger. It's to die for.Green olives......
That's obvious... Pickles
I can hear your arteries clogging now.Double meat
Double cheese....
Classic stuff.... lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, mustard.
I've still never had a Halo Burger. I need to do that. But I have had olives on burgers at home, as well as using a homemade olive tapenade as a topping. Quite tasty.
Once when I was in Lansing someone directed me to Harry's Place, a bar and grill. It's been there since the 20s, started by Greek immigrants and continues to be run by the family. They serve typical pub food, except it's all fresh and made from scratch, many of the dishes are Greek. Across the street used to be a Fischer Body plant, but that's now just piles of rubble. So the area itself doesn't look all that inviting. That changes when you walk into the place. One of the most inviting and friendly places I've ever been and the food is off the hook. They've never been on Triple D, but they certainly should be.
I was instructed by a local (3 of them, actually) to go there and order the Greek Burger, which is a burger stuffed with olives, feta cheese and sundried tomatoes and topped with tzatziki sauce (the same Greek cucumber/garlic/yogurt sauce you'll get on a Gyro). But I was told to order it with the addition of their Olive Sauce, which is a Greek olive tapenade. The Greek Burger with Olive Sauce isn't even on the menu, but it's apparently very popular.
It's not so much as a burger as an experience. I've been back 4 more times so far, including a couple of weeks ago. It was voted Best Neighborhood Bar in Lansing, and finished 4th I think in the statewide voting.

Pretty much classic but they can hold back the Rabbit food on it...
It was 6th, not 4th where they finished. Here's the writeup from MLive on the contest.
Michigan's Best Neighborhood Bar: Our Top 10 list, plus honorable mentions and best of the rest
I don't drink at all, so I don't do a lot of bars. But Harry's Place feels more like a neighborhood community center that oh by the way also serves beer.
Sometimes it's been very sparsely populated (11AM lunch), other times, like when I went there on a Friday night for dinner, the place was wall-to-wall. Obviously, the Friday Night Fish Fry is a hit. It's a no-frills dive bar, but I mean it, the food is awesome. Twice now I've seen fried bologna sandwiches be delivered to nearby tables and I think I want one. It's about an inch of fried bologna between Texas toast. I've had the Greek Burger 3 times, the Turkey Reuben once, and a Gyro once. Last time I was there, after finishing the Greek Burger, I asked someone at the table next to me how the Greek Pizza was. They gave me a small piece, a couple of bites, of their pizza. Day-yum yummy is what it was. I could see why there was a steady stream of people coming in and leaving with pizza boxes.
Hey a year ago they did a ultrasound -scan of my chest and stomach area ... they gave my Heart the all clear ... my wife got to watch the test and she was also surprised ...
The only way, and some places in the south refuse to put anything other than : Mustard, pickle and onions. Dyers in Memphis deep fry theirs in 100+ year old Grease. If you ask for tomatoes, ketchup
They have started putting that on your plate. One place, Jim's has a sign on the wall... This is not Wendy's, you're have it my way or no way.
