Arctic Circle Restaurants is an American chain of burger and shake restaurants based in Midvale, Utah, United States.

As of September 2022^[update] there were 71 restaurants in seven states, about half are company-owned and the rest are owned by franchisees and about half of the restaurants are in Utah. They serve typical fast food such as burgers, sandwiches, shakes, salads, fries and fish and chips.^{[citation needed]}

The company claims to have invented the regional condiment fry sauce,^[2] and that it was the first burger chain to invent and sell the kids' meal.^[3]

In 1924, Don Carlos Edwards established a small refreshment stand at a Pioneer Day celebration. By 1941 it had grown into a thriving BBQ restaurant.^[4] Edwards subsequently opened the first Arctic Circle restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1950. Shortly after opening Arctic Circle, Edwards introduced “pink sauce,”,^[5][6] a thousand island dressing-like combination of mayonnaise and ketchup. This later became known as “fry sauce.”^[7]
