The Bates' Burgers restaurant exterior

Family owned & operated

Same family. Same griddle. Since 1959.

Bates' Burgers is well known for burgers and breakfast. Located in Livonia and Farmington Hills, Michigan, the Bates family has been proudly running their restaurants since 1959.

Not much has changed, and that's on purpose. Fresh meat, buns and other ingredients are delivered daily. Burgers go on the griddle when you order them. The counter is clean, the staff is friendly, and generations of Michigan families have been coming back for the same sack of sliders.
