    Fly Inn

    Plainwell

    Located on the grounds of the Plainwell Municipal Airport, the Fly Inn, with its turboprop motif serves some universally praised tater tots. One review on TripAdvisor was simply "Mmm tater tots" and on Facebook they raved, "the Olive Burger is my fave with a side of hot crispy tater tots."

    And since the restaurant is located on the grounds of the airport, watching takeoffs and landings is included in the price of the meal.

    The Wurst Bar

    Ypsilanti

    The Wurst Bar is one of the best in Michigan (bet they've never heard that joke before) when it comes to tater tots.

    The pub makes its own sausages, including a traditional bratwurst which takes a bath in Pabst Blue Ribbon before cooking, which are served in a bread pan with heaps of crispy tater tots.

    Mercury Bar

    Detroit

    Mercury Burger & Bar sits in the shadow of Detroit's landmark Michigan Central Station in the city's Corktown neighborhood.

    Being so close to the Ambassador Bridge and Windsor Tunnel to Windsor, it's no surprise that Mercury Bar would put a Canadian twist to tots by topping them with gravy and cheese.These are must-try Poutine Tots.

Served with a side of warm cheese sauce for dipping."
