I don't bother eating burgers unless they're the best of the best. Grampa, for all his misgivings, made scrumptious burgers, the only reason for which he is (fondly) remembered. \r

So Zebbs, to someone such as I ,who has lived in innumerable places, eaten astounding amounts of good- and bad- burgers--is not only NOT a chain (Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo are frankly local) but is also Grampa-good. \r

Small is small-- medium is perfectly sized; they always do the cooking as you ask. The rolls are homemade (holy crowly); the fries also beyond fresh. You actually sit among the bags of flour and potatoes that they use to make the food; no BS. As for the condiments,they're horrible, truly. But don't let that stop you from going. The best burgers I've had in Buffalo. Just bring your own Weber's pickallili or polish pickles. You won't get those here, but my, my, what great burgers you WILL get. \r

In my rating system, pairs with Ted's Hot Dogs. So, run, do not walk.
Pros: homemade terrific everything: nope,not a chain, a local bunch of joints is all.
Cons: locals don't get it. NOT a chain, pals. This place is great. Totally homemade stuff.
