| - This was a regular lunch-time destination when I worked at Southland Business Park. You can keep your Peter's Drive-In (which only takes cash and has no indoor seating). Places like this one, and Boogie's Burgers, are the best little hamburger places in town. Generous portions and for those so inclined, exotic menu items, make this place hard to beat. If one really wanted to complain, it might be about the off-brand ketchup, but a little variety is nice too. They don't serve it with an eye-dropper; the big burly dude behind the counter just puts both mitts into the box of packets, dumps a hundred of them on the counter, and says "take what you need." Very down to earth. And out of character with the classical music they play on the radio - I suspect at his wife's insistence. A nice change from most fast-food places that blare the latest pop monstrosities over the in-house sound system so that the staff can keep themselves awake, despite the fact you just came in for a nice quiet lunch on your lunch hour from work, to get away from the noise of the office. Too bad.
Good quality meat, cooked fresh, meaning, you have to wait a bit. Restaurant is a bit rough - not dirty, just beat up - but the food is worth it. No-nonsense meal at a fair price, nothing microwaved (sorry - Dairy Queen thinks they are fooling people by calling them 'warming ovens" but we all know what they really are), just good food.
