Great atmosphere. Food was really good. Great flavor burgers, hot, crispy fries and onion rings. My one criticism is the buns are too dry and crumbly, they fall apart and take away from the burger too much. But otherwise, loved the whole experience.

Totally delicious!! The burgers were very good and so were the sweet potato fries. Tthe cheese for our cheese fries needed…something, but they were still good. We had generous portions of very tasty ice cream, but my frappe was way too thin.

The food is decent. Burgers, dogs, fries and shakes. Great for bringing the kids or getting a healthy dose of nostalgic throwback.

Love retro burger! I have been a customer since they were down the cape. I used to love hitting retro burger and then taking my son to the mini golf next door. When I heard they moved to my town I was ecstatic! Food is delicious, and the prices are fair.

Retro burger is great!! Only giving it a three because service is always a little weird (every time we go our food always comes out a different times). But the burgers are really very good, frappes are excellent (Richardson’s), hot dogs are also really good too. Overall great little lunch or informal dinner place.

I really wanted to like this place because it is a local business with an interesting concept. On our first visit, I thought the food and atmosphere were pretty good. Unfortunately, our return trip was miserable. We ordered 3 burgers, and they took more than one hour. The buns were freezing cold as if they had just been taken out of the freezer. The jukebox was broken. The only consistently positive aspect was the shakes, which were delicious. There might be times when quality and service are very good, but I’d be wary if this place were busy.

The half pound burgers and ice cream were great. The burgers were the best burgers I have ever had. They were cooked properly and the store was maintained with cleanliness. The service was fast and had given his own opinion on options. All and all I would go back any day

Some of the finest burgers that I have ever had! Great atmosphere! The fries and ice cream is spectacular as well! Only complaint is that the waits for food are a bit long sometimes.

This place is a counter service burger joint with a retro theme. When I walked in here, it looked pretty empty. We ordered our burgers from the confusing but actually fairly limited menu. The order service was friendly and prompt.
