cash, burgers, lunch
Monday-Friday, 11-3:30
It's all about the lunch, and burgers, and cash. You have limited choices: essentially burgers and fries, and a couple other things that are afterthoughts. You can get a cheeseburger, or a double cheeseburger. You can get it with bacon. Don't get uppity though -- there's one kind of cheese. The burger comes on a pillowy bun with krinkle cut fries.
There is something so delightful about this place. It's not cheap (a bacon cheeseburger is $7.50), and as they only take cash, not always so easy, and the food is not by any stretch of the imagination gourmet. Maybe it's the sea of maroon vinyl, or the strange enclosed garden out the window, maybe it's the homemade shakes, or maybe it's the fact that it's so insanely fast. I timed it today—6 minutes between ordering, and having a cheeseburger of my own. Anyways, it's great in an anti-bistro burger sort of way.
