This is the REAL DEAL if yer lookin' fer a good burger and fries, and a beer, or root beer. This place has great burgers you'll be workin' hard to finish. Yeah, they're that big!
One of those fast disappearing burger/beer joints that Franchises are trying to eliminate daily. (The Franchisers and, your local city councels planning to run you and your small ass business, out of town in favor of millions pouring in with a franchise) They got their work cut out to roll over this place though! (They do it by extortive taxation)
Franchises can only dream of real hand cooked food, not using a microwave. They'd rather use MSG or heavy faux seasonings or, enzyme tenderizing to salvage a poor, otherwise summarily rejected, tough piece of shoe leather they pass off as food. Likely more like chemicals and carcinogens, than food. But then, they buy it for ten cents on the sawbuck, and find free import labor to "cook"/nuke it, and could care less what's in the bag when they pass off this "bag".
At the prices they're charging, you could buy the damn cow yourself, and use the change to buy a rendering plant.
No...this is one of those places where you put in the order and get what you expected, maybe a bit more.
It's not a kids place, but they'd serve them up well too. (Just cut back on the beer for the kids)
A short drive east from 494 & 5 (Oakdale) to Lake Elmo. (5 min.)
(They now cook weekends too.)
Try it...You'll like it!
