One word description: Dive.
Order: Double cheeseburger and chili fries.
Price: Super cheap, I doubt you are going to beat the price anywhere within 277. It is a freestanding building with food cart prices.
Quality: Very meh. I generally am a fan of old school fried food. Ie skinny burgers with simple ingredients (ie American Cheese and ketchup). Obviously here I'm not expecting an organic thickburger with creative toppings. But I also don't expect for it to be obvious that the food was frozen and tasteless the day before. I'm not saying it was disgusting, I just literally think they could do better if they put in more effort. It was quite mediocre for old school burgers and fries. The chili was not very good either and the fries were pretty tasteless.
Ambiance: I like the history and I guess its nice that they haven't redeveloped in what appears to be 40-50 years. It is very nostalgic, so I guess you just have to be in that sort of a mood. Bars on the windows still shows how much Uptown has developed in the last 20-30 yrs.
Overall, if you like old school diners, maybe you will have a better experience than I did. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing on the wrong day. If I want hot dogs though, I'm definitely going to the Chili Man instead.
