Arctic Circle Restaurants is a chain of burger and shake restaurants based in Midvale, Utah. There are several dozen stores, with about a third owned by the company and two-thirds by franchisees, in Utah, California, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming.
Famous for inventing regional condiment "fry sauce," the company also claims to be the first burger chain to invent and sell the kids meal.
The restaurants sell the standard burgers and shakes, salads and fries, plus less common dishes like halibut and fries, and specialty soft drinks like fresh lime squeezes and fresh lime rickeys.
Arctic Circle is the only American fast-food restaurant to sell Angus beef exclusively.
Most Arctic Circle locations also provide a complimentary soft-serve ice cream, known as "kiddy cones", with the purchase of any item on the menu.
