Black and white checker decor, for all you pecker heads.
Servers and cooks wear paper hats shaped like boats. Bring a kid, and they'll give you one too.
Lose money in the casino it's in, and then go drown your sorrows over greasy food.
The shakes are pretty good though. Burgers are okay, if not a bit too flat and puny. Arnold would disapprove. Why you gotta smash the burger so damn flat? Fries are skinny too. I recommend a side or two of their liquid cheese for your fries and burger, by far the best tasting thing on their menu.

All in all, not a bad option if you feel like waiting around for some cheap food.
