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.
1959
The 5 Mile and Farmington Road location in Livonia opens on February 14.
1976

Today
Still family owned and operated, still griddling burgers to order.
