Black Angus Ranch Burger
The burger that, by the chain’s own telling, had people queuing round the block in the early days: two Angus patties, cheddar, pickles, ketchup, shredded lettuce and white sauce on a sesame double-cut bun. Despite the name there is no ranch dressing. It is a tidy, old-fashioned double cheeseburger, more about the beef and pickles than the sauce. Ask for fry sauce on the side.

About Arctic Circle

At its peak the chain had 308 restaurants across the West; today it has around seventy in eight states, still headquartered in Utah.
About seventy restaurants in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Arizona and Wyoming, roughly half of them in Utah.
