They serve the platonic ideal of what a burger should be. It's no frills with very little on the menu,potato chips instead of fries. No Coca-Cola. A small space with very little seating. Cash only.
1st burgers ever. Made on toast. Don't ask for ketchup.
We’ve gotta give a shout-out to Louis’ Lunch, the first-ever restaurant to serve hamburgers in the U.S. (They’re still super old-school, so if you want ketchup or mustard, you’re out of luck.)
Have the works
It's an institution. The meat in the burger is so fresh tasting and their potato salad is amazing (I don't even like it usually!)- make sure to get a slice of pie for dessert!
Cheeseburgers cooked in funky broiler contraptions. Atmosphere is super chill.
Simple and delicious.
Grab a cheeseburger with tomatoes and onion. While the restaurant needs to be experienced, I found eating outside was quite pleasant (weather permitting).
Most amazing homemade burgers! Just follow what the owner tells you and do not add any ketchup or mayo!
