| - This place reminds me of Bob's Burgers (yes, the cartoon). Sure, the decor is... well, its uniquely artistic, we'll say that. Sure, the name seems a little off (and he's not even that fat in real life). Sure, I kind of liked Bigabaldi's, the previous rez in that spot. But...
Service? Excellent
Food? Excellent
Atmosphere? Reminiscent, and Excellent (once u get used to it)
It's a mom-and-pop burger joint, no question. But listening to the kitchen, and how Phil speaks to his customers and staff, you get the strong impression of a man happy to be living his dream. And you can taste it in the food. High quality levels are maintained all day, and thorough, attentive cooking makes each burger tastes like pure 1950's malt shop gold. You can customize, and there's a generous selection of sauces (including tzatziki, which I suspect is homemade). In fact, most of the ingredients taste extra fresh, and their gravy is a must-try.
As long as the local meathead population keeps their distance, this place should become a mainstay and much-needed oasis on "pizza alley" (aka Marlee Ave.)
