I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I ordered a cheeseburger with everything ("all the way"). This $7.69 double burger was good, but nothing to write home about. All of those toppings are great, but I was hoping that the quality of the meat would be something spectacular, but it didn't taste much different than any other far less expensive burger. They don't use what I consider to be real cheese. This is Wisconsin, people! There is no excuse for fake cheese here. It reminded me of Kraft Singles. My children each had what they call a Little Burger which is a single patty. For $5.69 each, I should have just ordered one regular cheese burger (which again, is a double patty) and split it in half. I'm really interested in why they price it this way. The fries were good but nothing special. The ketchup they serve is cold-yuck. Their fountain drink selection is a newer model with endless drink choices. They have two of these machines so there is virtually never any waiting.
ATMOSPHERE:
When you walk through the double doors, you are blasted with super loud music. Whoa. While in the restaurant, the music is almost as loud but tolerable. At least it was a good mix of classic rock and more current music. The restaurant is kept very cold. I couldn't find a thermostat to report specifics, but it was uncomfortably cold like the ketchup. The restroom seemed clean and the water from the sink is fixed at a cozy warm temperature, though it was way too hot for my kids' more sensitive hands. The staff is very patient, friendly and happy to be there. I witnessed lots of staff smiles and a verbal reassurance to one customer whose order was taking an extra few minutes. I always enjoy seeing this type of positive energy.
OVERALL:
Personally, I may or may not stop here again. A previous reviewer was concerned with the higher prices on the menu, but apparently he is in the minority because this place was hoppin'-with very few open tables and a line 8 people deep. If you are willing to pay a bit more for a quality burger, I highly recommend one at the Tornado Room. It's $9 for a half pound burger and it is tremendous.
