This truly is the last great hamburger stand. Big fresh never frozen hamburger patties, fresh crispy perfectly diced ingredients, the right amount of condiments, and a bun that’s slightly toasted on the inside. Even the fries, shakes, and chili fries are so good.

Definitely worth the buy over your fast food locations, their burger feels fresh and tastes great. The size of the burger is fairly larger than other locations. If you got time to get out your car and order then this would be a great location to stop by

It was OK. I suppose on par with just about any other fast food burger place. I think I may have expected a bit more just cuz of the nearly 5 star reviews I saw and it looked kinda fancy inside but any way. Here goes my review. Loaded you up with proper before and after pics. I was 2 ND in line and ordering went quick. The customer service seemed to be about the bare minimum. Polite and helpful but not chatty and no smile, food arrived within 4 min, I ordered a traditional crispy chxn sandwich with frys and soda. I did ask for ranch of which she did bring over a couple in a tiny paper sauce cup. At first glance the sandwich looked very appealing I was alittle turned off when I saw the color of the cheese but it actually tasted fine. The frys were just the right amount of crispy to soft ratio, soda was good. Tables, floors and bathroom was clean. Wasn’t to busy. They were playing rap on the speakers. My experience was just ok. May have just been me but seemed like just another ordinary fast food experience. So maybe just don’t have to high of expectations and you won’t be let down. So 5 stars anyway. All the important boxes got checked off. Thanks. Hope the pics help.

The older owner lady was frying the burgers. It was awesome like they used to be. The young gal they have had frying the burgers from time to time almost lost my business as she fried them to ruin.
