| - Ok, so this is fast food...with some niceties, the ambience of McDonald's, but the customer service is definitely a cut above. Once you've ordered at the counter, you go sit down with a number, rather than standing there in the way of others trying to order. The staff is extremely friendly and they bring your food out to your table, so you can sit and talk to your friends.
We love the Rueben Sandwiches on grilled buttered rye: it's not Katz, but it's close by and tasty. You get a choice of sides, one of which is Fried Cheese Curds, crispy on the outside and wonderfully melty on the inside.
The Butter Burger was good, but I really don't see what the fuss is over the Midwestern beef. It tasted ordinary as far as the meat goes. The grilled butter bun was light with crispy edges. It made the sandwich.
Also they are known for their frozen custard. They always have Vanilla and Chocolate, and a different flavor every day. You can pick up a custard schedule so you know what flavor they will be serving. Custard is very smooth, smoother than ice cream, but theirs is also sweeter, and the flavors are on the bland side. I tired the Strawberry Bon Bon on one visit: way too sweet and very little strawberry flavor. The next time I had Orange Cream-sickle: once again not much orange flavor, very sweet and on top of it, they mixed in Graham cracker pieces, which I really didn't like. They have mix-in you can add to the custard and they make sundaes as well.
The fried chicken at the next table looked good and people were remarking how good it was. I'm going to try that next time.
It's a little more expensive than most fast food places, but KFC is higher.
