Thus beats the other restaurants in Arrowhead mall by a mile. It's a package experience--50's theme, decor, and food.
I'm partial to the taste of a real burger, with toasted buns and all the fixin's. I like my fries fried now not ten minutes ago, and a shake that doesn't taste like pink chemicals in a wax cup.
Did I pay for it? Yeah. Was it worth it? Oh god, yes. Because you will dream of JR burgers and shakes, and the memory of licking the burger juices off your lips, for weeks to come. I don't know--because it's real food & not gast crap. JR got it right. Amen.
