Yes, Doug, my initial review was after the first time I had been at Giant Hamburger. I just tried it again today and I was just as pleased with the food the second time around.
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I didn't like the decor. But the second time around I liked the understated decor -- again it reminded me of those small burger joints along Route 66. On second thought I kind of like the retro decor, therefore I'm upgrading my rating. I rarely give five stars but this restaurant deserves it.
When I equated Giant Hamburger to the golden days of Route 66 I was speaking from experience. My dad used to drive my brother and I on that highway quite often for business. He knew just the right burger joints to stop at -- and boy were they good!. Over the years I forgot all about how wonderful those Route 66 cafes were until I stepped into Giant Burgers. Wow! It all came back to me!
I like those sweet middle aged ladies taking orders and making the food. They do a way better job than most bratty teenagers.
