| - This is the kind of place where one can let one's nuts hang.
It was freaking cold and I needed to warm up and charge my phone (there are two available outlets to do so, one on either side of the relatively small seating area), and I kindve wanted to eat, so I stepped inside Burger Shoppe. I ordered the banquet burger combo-special from a guy with dreads and a bunch of tatts. He had a really warm personality and smile, the kindve guy that would be a side character in an HBO show, a kindve badass with a daughter he does everything for, and that audiences LOVE.
I realized they were playing Thug Life- 2Pac's old group- over the sound system and I was like OH SH*T I haven't heard this outside my own speakers, nor even that way, in FOREVERRRRR!!!! I immediately had respect for the place. Although I later determined it was actually just a lesser known older 2Pac song (Thug Life in spirit, not name) which I also hadn't heard for a while, the place remained somewhat cool in my eyes.
Then I noticed the TV- they were playing an ultimate fighting match- a sport I've always wished I had the friends and time to get into. Soon the guys were fiddling with the channels and i realized they have some sort of 'fight cable package' with like, A LOT of different fight-spectating options. I imagine it would be cool to have a group of friends who all wanted to watch a fight down there in that tiny a** place, eating and watching said fight. Although I'm not sure they serve alcohol.
Both the burger and fries were actually quite good, I'd say a solid four stars. Overall I'm going to stay with that four, because the place is a little awkward and small.
