Maple Grove
Maple Grove’s highway sign should read “Welcome to the land of the burger,” judging by the passionate response we got from residents in the 2009 Best of Maple Grove reader survey.
Numerous locals voted for their favorite burger joint to get the top spot, but no other location got as many votes as Champps Americana.
The response from residents, however, brought to our attention the fact that Maple Grove’s love of burgers cannot be narrowed to one restaurant. No matter what area of the suburb you are in, nearby there is a classic all-American burger that will satisfy your taste buds. Try any of these spots, including Best of Maple Grove runners-up, Granite City and 3 Squares, to get your burger fix.
