Something is dreadfully wrong with the rating of this restaurant. I have been meaning to get a burger here for years. I have always been thwarted by the lack of parking or crowd at the counter. I finally made it here yesterday with my wife and we were extremely unimpressed. The burger was really small! It costs $6.50(ala carte)for a burger the size of a McDonalds regular hamburger with lots of lettuce added. You get no fries for that price.It actually tasted ok, although overpowered by pickles and condiments. But, it is $11 for the same amount of food in a Happy Meal. And no I dont think McDonalds is great, I am just using it for a size comparison. I think it is the old world 1940's charm drawing in the crowds. ""The Counter"" in Santa Monica had a significantly better burger. Dont believe the hype surrounding The Apple Pan!
Pros: old world charm
Cons: value and parking
