This is a truly odd little restuarant. On the surface, the burgers appear to be nothing special, but they have an addictive quality (my wife calls it a 'yummy quotient') that makes the whole more than the sum of its parts. They mix soft drinks by hand -- soda water and syrup -- and have truly delicious pie to top off the meal. Service is on the leisurely side (they are so cramped that only a few waitresses can fit behind the counter), but this is the real thing -- not a 'canned' theme restaurant -- so you probably won't mind the wait. Prices for the burgers, fries, and drinks border on the ridiculous, but pie is, suprisingly, a relative bargain. Worth a visit at least once, for any burger buff.
Pros: Very tasty food., Hand-mixed sodas., Authentic atmosphere.
Cons: , Crowds and parking., Service can be slow.
