    Walk through the door and into the '50s.

    Small, 5-booth hamburger joint with retro look and 50s/60s classic rock on the jukebox. This looks like Al's Diner from Happy Days or Mel's from American Graffiti. Fun place with limited menu. However meals made to order so expect a short wait. The oversized sack of perfectly seasoned salty fries complemented a simple, tasty burger piled with fried onions. You'll want to stop here if you're nearby.

    Pastrami Burger

    SO good!! We will be back. The place is small but don't skip it, these are some of the best burgers I've had. We ordered the pastrami burger - usually I prefer a medium cook, the burger patty appeared well done but it was fantastic, well seasoned and still juicy. The pastrami was also tender and flavorful. Fries are hand cut & came out hot and crispy, and they wouldn't divulge the secret seasoning but it was so addicting - I want to say maybe a hint of truffle salt? Either way I was stuffed but I kept eating them. They were so good on their own I totally ignored the ketchup. Was a bit of a wait for our food, but worth it because it's all cooked fresh to order. I'll for sure come back, probably even make the 45 minute drive from home just to get my hands on this burger again!

    Where do I start?! Fresh burgers, fresh fries, fresh veggies... well some veggies, mostly meat, and $3.50 craft brews!!!! Seriously the burgers here are amazing. We're from California, visiting my grandma in Ark-city and getting off the plane a guy told me about this place, well, to you sir I owe much gratitude. These burgers are the best I've ever eaten. Better than inn n out and even dare I say sliders in San Jose . My two year old is extremely picky and ate an entire cheeseburger. The lady behind the grill was focused and sweet. Thank you! In my humble opinion this place could put Arkansas City on the map with foodies. Good work guys!!!!! P.S. THE MUSIC ROCKS

    It's not just a burger, it's a relationship.

    This burger shack is delicious. Today the fries were a little too crispy but they were a little busy and it usually comes out perfect otherwise. The burgers have fresh ingredients and the Pattie's are thick and juicy. The atmosphere inside is inspired by unique military paraphernalia and a mix of sci-fi tv shows and movies. It is a very clean establishment and they even offer a cold refreshing beer to go with your meal. The staff and owner are always very friendly and are in good standing with our community.

    Nice burgers. There is chili here too. Bring your appetite and leave full. If you a little old fashioned, you're home.

    You have to visit. Go out of your way. It's worth it. Ask about their specials. They usually run out. Great decor. Comfortable environment Fresh and tasty food. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff.

    Great little hole in the wall spot with super friendly staff. Burger was cooked fast and tasted delicious. The fries are fresh cut and delicious as well. The inside decor is really cool too with tons of vintage signs and accessories. The jukebox jams were on point too. Go here, NOW!

    My son approved of the cheeseburger

    Delicious burgers and fries! Our family inhaled their food. Definitely recommend! We got the cheeseburger for 3 of us and they recommended their spicy burger (can't remember the name exactly but "screaming" maybe?) and we all shared some fries and it was great!!

    Walked in and immediately left. The whole place smelled like rotten sewage. Hard pass.

    The burgers are above average very tasty Fries were crispy…read more Nice and hot Order by phone is the only way to order but couldn't get through so the gentleman came out very apologetic and friendly. He took our order very customer service oriented! He even helped carry our food out (outside seating only) It was 100 degrees so we drank all of our water (3of us) The lady yelled at us to get out!! One customer at a time!!! I said I just wanted a refill on my water She replied get out!!! we don't do refills!!!!! I then did the math and they also charged $3 for a cup of ice water!!!! ... with no refills!!! I love small town family owned places but i won't go back

    This was, without question, the worst customer service I've ever experienced…read more The woman working there (appeared to be in her 60s) was shockingly rude from start to finish. I didn't realize orders had to be called in, so I stepped outside to do that. When it suddenly began pouring rain, I briefly went back inside--where it wasn't busy--only to be told to go back out into the storm. It didn't stop there. Before leaving, I quickly checked our burgers to make sure the order was correct (something any reasonable customer does before driving off). She confronted me with, "What are you doing?" I explained I was just checking the food, and she responded, "Well, that's rude." At that point, I was genuinely upset and told her I had never been treated this way before. Her response? A dismissive, "Bye-bye, honey. Goodbye." Completely unprofessional and unnecessarily hostile. The only redeeming part of the experience was the man working the grill--he was kind and respectful. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for everything else. To top it off, the cheeseburgers are overpriced, and honestly, you'd get better quality and service at McDonald's. We won't be back.
