1. Olympic Broil - 1320 N Grand River Ave, Lansing

What our members have to say: "Olympic Broil is such a great deal, no matter what you choose to eat. The olive burgers are so good, and the six-piece chicken strips seem like they're never-ending since they don't count out six pieces. They just grab a handful. So good!" - Teresa TaberSmith Hayes

"Olympic Broil. I'm not really good with words like some other folks in here, but I just have personally found their food to be such quality, value for the price. It's absolutely delicious and not outrageously expensive. Comparable to what I'd spend at a McDonald's, let's say, but 10 times better-quality food. I've not had one bad item from there either. Like, everything is just delicious." - Morgan Taylor
