Slabtown Burgers in Traverse City serves Michigan's most mouthwatering burgers, accompanied by your favorite fresh toppings. Lovefood says the burgers are just one reason to make Slabtown your favorite burger spot:

The outside of Slabtown Cafe and Burgers – with its porch and white-wood paneling – recalls the history and tradition of Michigan. Right away, you can picture people sitting on the pristine lawn, enjoying the view on a bright summer’s day. But as lovely as that is, the burgers are the reason to visit.

While the classic cheeseburger is always a hit at Slabtown Burgers, customers rave about their specialties, such as the Slabtown Special served with two house-made patties topped with American cheese, grilled onions, and secret sauce. Add a side of sweet potato or chili fries and a cold root beer float or Boston cooler with your burger of choice.
