Last checked 2026-10-16. Refreshed every three months.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside the city limits, which also feed our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on 2026-10-16. Burger and Bowl, Culver’s, Five Guys, Gerard’s and Mister B’s were added from their own websites or the chain’s own location pages. Chains with several Bowling Green restaurants are listed at the location in our directory data; their store finders show the rest. The list is alphabetical; it is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Burger King is not listed because its store page would not load for us to check. Restaurants can correct their entry through our contact page.
