The fries (fried in beef fat), shakes or sides, like anchovy-draped Caesar salad, steal the show from the burger. Patties are cooked only “medium plus,” leaving them juiceless and disappointing.
Burgers are juicy and can be ordered with all manner of toppings (grilled ’shrooms and onions, A-1 sauce, even jalapeños). Crispy fries come piping hot in their own paper bag, regular or Cajun-style.
Burgers are cooked to a nice medium. Opt for aged cheddar, bacon and egg toppings, and be sure to add the rustic, skin-on fries. Try the Lemon Squeeze, a blend of fro-yo, strawberries and lemonade.
Everything here—like the Hamilton Beach milkshake machines—is a throwback. Malts are wet cement–thick, and freshly ground beef patties are topped with sweet caramelized onions on pillowy white buns.
With long waits and metal music blasting, why go? For the Slayer burger–a pile of fries topped with a half-pound burger, chili, cherry peppers, andouille, onions and Jack cheese on a pretzel bun.
Burgers, fries, shakes and breakfast egg sandwiches are the only items on offer (all done well). Burgers are thick and juicy, piled with fresh toppings and flanked by tasty (if McDonald’s-ish) fries.
A burger at this carryout spot is worth the 20-minute wait, even if you have to eat your burger in the car. The parked car—this baby takes two hands.
The riverside location and the five choices of burgers (salmon, tuna, turkey, beef or veggie) are equally appealing.
Sandwiches here are less about the meat and more about the toppings: the “Barbara-Q Bacon Cheeseburger” has so much on it (onion rings, barbecue sauce, bacon) it can hardly be held.
