The cheeseburger was one of the largest I've ever seen, and also one of the best. The fries alongside are exceptional, too.
I don’t guess it comes as a major surprise to disclose that I’m a huge fan of world food.

Noise Level: This place is popular and gets crowded quickly, ramping up the noise level. Noise levels during our lunch visit averaged 73.7dB – the sound of your television at normal volume – with peaks to 80.2, the roar of your garbage disposal.
Accessibility: The space appears accessible to wheelchair users, but tables are close together and some seating is in booths; the only ramp through a curb surrounding the building is at the far east end of the building.
