Long waiting line, Great food

by jazzkingrt at Citysearch

The best hamburgers with fries in town. I would go their more often if the service was slightly quicker though. It's worth going their once, for the food. It, of course is only good for a casual meal, or if one is very hungry, thanks to the portions.

  • Pros: The food.
  • Cons: The crowd, the service.
