    A great old-fashioned how in the wall kind of place on the near Westside of downtown Indy. Burgers and food are simple but well made! Service is comfortable, efficient and friendly but respectable. And environment is classic Hoosier--blue-collar no-frills but high-value and from the heart! A great place with lots of history and stories to tell all day long!

    My friend was in town and wanted to try this place out. The hours are mostly lunch, but open Friday nights. Nothing fancy about the restaurant, but the waitress was very friendly. We both ordered the double cheeseburger. I felt there was way too much bread per meat ratio. The waitress did say they ran out of their regular buns so these were a bit bigger. I think in the future I would ask for no middle bun. The patty itself had a great taste. Just needed a lot of napkins. The onion rings were very good as well.

    One of the best burgers in the city. Hands down. Love the crispy "meat candy" edges. Don't forget to bring cash!

    Adding my endorsement to the long list of reviews that this is the 'best burger in Indy''. I for one LOVE a classic thin smash burger, no frills. The crispy edges were out of this world. I got a double with everything and added mustard and ketchup. Next time, I'll ask for it without the center bun, but still loved it and ate the whole thing in record time. I went with my mom on a Friday afternoon around 12, peak lunch hour. There were tons of cars outside, but surprisingly a few open tables. We sat at the bar so as to mot take up an entire table and our server was wonderful. She asked if we'd been there before and when we said 'no', she replied - 'we're cash only and we're known for our cheeseburgers'. Super straightforward, good food, and it was nice to see the place filled with so many people enjoying their lunches.
