Uncle Ray's Dairyland

Uncle Ray’s Dairyland of Fenton is named one of the top 10 ice cream places in all of Michigan. See the video clips of the featured segments on ABC local channel 12 where Dave Durant and Todd Durant whip up some interesting flavor combinations for Mark.

The coffee and doughnut ice cream was a hit! The strawberry and chocolate covered bacon ice cream was an acquired taste. And although a deluxe olive burger from Halo Burger is yummy delicious on it’s own, this was the least favorite of the unique flavor combinations explored by Channel 12 news. The yummiest and most visually appealing, however, must have been the “fried egg on toast” breakfast treat. See for yourself with the video links above.

Uncle Ray’s Dairlyand is slated to produce a 175 foot banana split at Fenton’s 175th birthday celebration later on this summer.

Wow! Nearly 5,000 calories in this gigantic ballpark food item called the Fifth Third Burger at the Whitecaps home field in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 17 are reported to have finished the entire burger themselves and won a t-shirt (is a t-shirt really worth indigestion?). See the video!!

FentonSays.com — Mon, 12 May 2008 12:49:52 +0000

This is the thirteenth entry into the Burger Battle on FentonSays.com as part of the “Eats of Fenton” video series. Buffalo Wild Wings (formerly known as BW3) on Silver Lake Road in Fenton, Michigan is known for their sports bar atmosphere and kickin’ buffalo style chicken wings. The sauce selection is fantastic, and their burgers are pretty good, too.

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #12 — TeeBone’Z

admin — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 13:03:00 +0000

This is the twelfth entry into the Burger Battle on FentonSays.com as part of the “Eats of Fenton” video series. TeeBone’z is just over the railroad tracks off of Silver Lake Road in Fenton, Michigan. We’ve generally not been thrilled with the service here, but on this day the service was perfect. And the burger, well, the burger was absolutely amazing! One half pounder stacked with great toppings, and for a couple of bucks more you can get it with a side of onion rings. In our experience, it is hard to find perfect onion rings. TeeBone’Z had them! Perfect, golden, crispy onion rings where the onion doesn’t pull out and slap you on the lip when you bite into them. We featured their half pound burger, but we also have a quick clip of their version of a “slider.” It was all good. You’ll enjoy this!

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #11 — O’Dooley’s

O’Dolley’s, formerly known as Bubba O’Dooley’s, previously known as The Heritage, has one fine burger. Found at 1243 North Leroy Street in Fenton, Michigan this formerly breakfast diner turned Irish pub knows its way around a ground beef patty. We’re not terribly impressed with the value of many of the food items on this menu, however you won’t go wrong with their cheeseburgers and fries.

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #10 — Legend’s

Legend’s Tavern & Pizzeria, located not far east off the Thompson Rd exit of US-23 has a real contender in their bacon cheeseburger for Burger Battle champion. Great value for the money and very tasty. The fries were nothing to write home about, but the burger can stand on it’s own. We are also unsure why the mushroom and swiss burger was a dollar more than the bacon cheeseburger. If you’re in the mood for a great burger, you won’t go wrong at Legend’s.

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #09 — Great Lakes Family Restaurant

admin — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 12:39:00 +0000

Great Lakes Family Restaurant is a wonderful family diner with very reasonable prices, fast and friendly service. The Flame used to operate out of this location many years ago. We’d recommend adding their slaw and fries to your burger order for only $1.85 more. It’s a lot of good food for the money.

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #08 — Beale Street

admin — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 11:25:00 +0000

Probably better known for their blues and BBQ’s, Beale Street has one mean burger. Located adjacent to the gas station on the corner of Torrey and North Road (Exit 80 off of US-23), this is a treat to find. Occasional live blues music is the cherry on top of this Memphis barbecue restaurant.

Crinkle-cut steak fries accent the juicy Beale St burger with a taste so mouth watering you’d think you’ve headed to a southern backyard picnic. Three savory BBQ sauces man every station, and makes for a great ketchup substitute and southern tangy taste treat.

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #07 — Burger King

admin — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 12:06:00 +0000

Fenton, like most other towns in America, has a Burger King. Actually, Fenton has at least two Burger King stores that come to mind in the Fenton area. Did we really believe that Burger King could topple the current Burger Battle champion? Nope. But we do think they have a good value proposition going with the $1.00 Whopper Junior.

If we had to choose between the McDonald’s double cheeseburger for a buck or a Whopper Junior for the same price, we’d have to go with Burger King. The fresh topping and flame broiled taste just makes for a better value burger (I can’t believe I’m choosing lettuce, tomato and onion over a slice of processed cheese).
