Best burger place . Seats like 10 people and has been the exact same for 100 years. Oh and try the root beer too.

Emily

Freshly drafted root beer , yummy burgers and fries in this throwback diner have not changed even with new ownership. Glad to see one of our favorites is still great.

Ryan Scherff

Picked up lunch for the whole office . Staff was very friendly . Order was prepared quickly. Suggest getting their cheeseburger one of the BEST burgers in town . Definitely coming back again.

Andy Gustavson

You see what you're going to get as it's cooked right in front of you..Good "old time" burgers ,dogs, fries and more ..don't forget a frosty rootbeer !!!!

Hafiz Huda

Get there early since there's only about 16 stools to sit at on the counter and even fewer parking spots . A classic burger ... super thin patty, crispy edges and cold frosty mug root beer .

Paul Layton

Like a cross between Steak-n-Shake burgers with White Castle onions . Excellent root beer and old fashioned charm.

Amanda Bromwich

Yes, the burgers are good. But, don’t be surprised by the cranky service on the other side of the counter. I probably won’t go back; no burger is worth putting up with such bad/unwelcoming energy.

Joe Dwyer

Best burger and root beer combo in #STL

Michael Corner

Gotta get the big root beer to wash down this all American classic.

Dan Money

inspiration for Shake Shack, awesome thin and crispy burgers

Justin Ackerman

Burgers , fries , root beer floats . What else do you need?

Patricia Crawford

Evening is great, but the burgers are as food as they were when I was 5!

Matt Brady

Best root beer in town !!

Kathy Kerlick

Food is very good but staff is typically rude and dismissive - will go back for the burgers still. Just don't expect friendly service or any gratitude for your patronage.

Eric Venker

An STL classic. Rootbeer . Don't say you're ready to order if you aren't. Those ladies won't pleased if you are slow to answer to their questions, and they aren't shy about showing it.

Kat Newbold
