Okay, maybe not the first here but the food is incredible and tasty and fresh and wonderful and delicious! Anyone who doesn’t agree doesn’t understand what this place is about. You go there for their way of making a hamburger not yours. The menu is staggeringly limited and rightfully so. Makes ordering so much easier. Like they say, if you want it your way go to Burger King. Thank god for this place! And yea it takes a long time to get your food but that allows you time to read the tables and the walls. It’s history folks!

Stopped by here as part of a day trip for my father's birthday. Got here right when they opened and there was already a line of about 10 people. Some other tourists but also some locals too. Burgers are exactly what you'd expect but they're really good. Very simple but very tasty. Would definitely go again if I was in the area.

A special place. Hamburger sandwich meat tastes good. Bread is just bread. It's good for a quick late-night snack or snack.

Grade B+ (89): I've been here now 4 times, that's a lot considering I live in California. The meat has been delicious, but this last time, Mar 2024, it wasn't like before, it used to be where they had 2 balls of meat (I think 1was Chuck & 1 was brisket) and they pressed them together at the last minute to make a patty, it really worked because it would look free form, not perfectly round, and the edges that are thin would cook a bit more than the middle etc. And it REALLY WORKED! This time they had the pattys all made up, I could tell they were 2 meats because one was darker color a bit like brown, (maybe left out a bit more?? Dunno), but the shape was like a regular burger, round and uniform. Not as good. Maybe it was a temporary chef, I hadn't seen him before. Well, for Lois lunch efficiency is not why people come here, they come for the taste of the meat and specially the texture. Just my 2c worth.

The burger was ok, you really only come here to get the experience and the chance to say you've been here.As far as the burger goes, it was fine, but definitely needed some more seasoning. Now on the other hand, the pies were great! If you come here get the pies for sure!Seating is pretty limited, so you should really get this to go if you can.It wasn't too crowded on a Thursday afternoon, but the food did take some time to come out.

The service experienced from the older staff member was not welcoming, with conversations veering into inappropriate topics such as politics and race. The food offerings, including a burger that was both small and lacking in moisture and taste, an apple pie with an unexpectedly sour and salty profile, and a potato salad that was overly salty, left much to be desired. The limited selection failed to impress in both variety and flavor, and the overall lack of customer service further detracted from the dining experience.
Wow … best burger in town. Fresh meat, very tasty flavor. With a white birch
