A popular cheesy 50's throwback joint with decent burgers and only okay service on our visit. Although the food arrived fairly quickly, it took quite a while to have our order taken. This may have been due to a post-holiday understaffing (we were here on Dec. 27). My ultimate burger ($8'ish), a 1/3 pound burger with bacon, ham and cheese (rich!) wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked, although it certainly was plenty greasy! I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, but if I was craving a burger in the area, I might return.
