Food and service is normally fantastic...But this visit they got one sandwich completely wrong.They had to pull the original handwritten ticket to verify.Then it took forever to get the correction.
Always a must visit place on our visits home.Not a better burger will ever be found!
My first time visiting after hearing a lot of people talk about it.I recommend getting a double burger since the patty is thin.This place reminds me of “steak and shake” back when it was good.The brownie dessert is big enough to share for sure! Unfortunately the chicken car is no longer there.A must stop while in the “D town”.
