| - After scouting yelp reviews looking for a good burger place within the single "$" criteria in my area, I came upon Michael's Frozen Custard stand. Arguably the name could go either way as a custard/milkshake place, or a burger place---regardless it fails at both. Save yourself, your money, and your time from going here. You don't even get what you pay for.
The reviews said it was good, but I have to argue with a place that sells $6-8 dollar burger combos that seems like they're using patties from a box from walmart (or any standard grocery store). The menu for burgers has a few different choices, basically cheeses, but all are sold with different choices for fries (the one benefit, the cost does include a drink---which makes up maybe 4% for the fact they only give you like 15 fries, shoestring, not steak fries).
The burger itself was overcooked, pretty crispy in parts and was pretty pathetic. The condiments on the burger were very bland and it looked like a very sad burger. I should have known then, but I kept wanting to see something good from this visit.
I ordered a deluxe custard concoction---one of the chocolate/fudge cake ones---and a small, which is probably about 8-10oz is $5.00. REALLY?! FIVE BUCKS FOR SOFT-SERVE AND TOPPINGS? (edit: flavor seems like soft-serve, but I'm told the price is because "frozen custard" is more expensive) Guess I feel like one of these I'll use that $5 to buy nearly all the ingredients myself and MAKE 10 of them for the price of 1 here. Mid-sizes are $6 I think and larges are $7---those numbers could be off, by $.50 though. I will say it was good, not great or fantastic, but good. Worth $5 however? NO WAY IN HELL---as again, the ingredients were pretty much from boxes or syrups found at any store.
Also, there are probably 5-8 tables outside, (and they only take orders from outside), and about 3-4 inside. The inside looks like it hasn't been re-viewed since the 60s (or 50s), but is in decent condition. Just looks way too old and is more "divey" than "classy" or "old-timey"
also, they apparently either charge cards (debit/credit) 3% more or you get a 3% discount if you pay cash. I'm never a fan of variable pricing and that is just not classy.
Burger 1.5/5
Ice cream 2.5/5
atmosphere 2/5
card absurdity 1/5
speed of service (after waiting a while to order) 4/5 --- really quick--why? everything's boxed probably so easy preparation.
total 2/5 (I'm being generous)
If you want a burger, STAY AWAY
If you want a shake/malt/ice cream, use if desperate...dairy queen would be a better choice, and I'm no fan of them either!
