A new local restaurant with a local focus will soon be serving up burgers on Cross St. in Ypsilanti. Got Burger, the idea of lifelong resident and Eastern Michigan University Graduate Haroun Mohammed will serve prime-grade Certified Angus Beef sourced from Toledo and breads from Detroit.
"I don't think there is another place around that uses prime, Certified Angus Beef," Mohammed says. "It will also be a price that will be affordable to a majority of the community."
Got Burger will also feature wings and portobello burgers. The restaurant, now under renovation, will include room for 20 to 25 diners, as well as offering takeout and delivery services.
"We're going to start small and grow into our next location. We're hoping this is the first of many," says Mohammed.
In addition to local ingredients and creating local jobs — Mohammed plans to open Got Burger with up to five workers and help from a couple of relatives — exemplary customer service will be a focus at the restaurant.
Mohammed is aiming to open Got Burger in mid-May.
